Chapter 283 The End of the Golden Lion (Ch 283)

After a while, the golden lion regained his arrogant look, raised his proud head again, and his eyes shone with an inexplicable light.
“Kid, your strength is indeed good, but if you want to step on me, Shiki, to get to the top, that’s far from enough.”
“Shishiwei·Royal Palace Scroll.”
The sand on the beach mixed with the gravel on the ground rose into the air and condensed into countless huge earth lions that tore towards the golden-eyed black dragon in front of them.
Lugia did not retreat. He treated the lions as nothing and confronted them with his strong physique.
Countless earth lions were torn into pieces after colliding with the black dragon, and turned into rubble scattered on the island. After a while, all the lions were eliminated.
Lugia charged at the golden lion again.
“roar!”
The shrill dragon roar resounded through the sky. The golden lion’s eyes were red, and it had no intention of dodging. It flew straight towards the oncoming black dragon.
The two sides were fighting in mid-air in a blink of an eye, and black and gold energy continued to radiate over the island.
Rebecca below has turned back into human form, and Cavendish has taken Durandal back.
“The Captain will win.”
“Of course, my brother is very strong.”
After another violent collision between the black dragon and the golden lion, the two sides moved apart.
A long-lost sense of relief appeared on Golden Lion’s face. Although this pleasure of being evenly matched was brought to him by a junior, he still felt his blood boiling.
“Kid, watch this move carefully for me.”
“Zhan Bo·Endless Lion King!”
The dead tree and cherry blossoms under his feet crossed the sky, and a golden lion king emitting a terrifying aura roared and rushed towards the black dragon.
“That’s great. I also have a trick I want to try.”
“Dragon God Claw!”
Lugia’s huge body quickly circled up to a higher altitude, and using the high-speed impact, it grabbed the lion king in front of it with one claw.
Black and red lightning covered the entire island, and the originally clear sky became dim. Shiki looked at the lion king who kept roaring in front of him but could not change his fate of being torn apart, and a trace of unwillingness and relief flashed in his eyes.
“Hahahahahaha, I’m a golden lion.”
Shiki did not choose to retreat. Instead, he used all his strength to activate the power of his fruit and flew towards the dark energy claws that were tearing the Lion King apart.
“Bang.”
A violent energy wave spread out, the island began to wail, and it began to break apart piece by piece, and was about to sink into the sea.
Kalina’s screams were heard from the other side of the island. She was obviously shocked by the scene.
Rebecca changed back into human-beast form, picked up Cavendish and threw him onto the Black Dragon, then quickly flew to the other side of the island.
After a few minutes, the aftermath dissipated and the sky returned to its original clear state.
Rebecca carried Kalina and Oogway back to the Black Dragon, and Lugia also transformed back into human form and landed on the bow, breathing heavily.
Everyone looked at the ruined island in the distance. On a slightly larger rock, a golden lion was looking up at the sky.
“It’s really ugly. I lost to Roger, lost to Eren, lost to Garp and Sengoku, and now I lost to a little kid.”
“Hahahahaha, but the sky is really blue today!”
“Come to think of it, how many years has it been since you looked up at the sky like this?”
It is ironic that he, who had always been chasing after power and victory, only had the chance to look at the sky he once dominated without worries again when he was dying.
With clear eyes, Shi Ji took a last lingering look at the blue sky and slowly closed his eyes.
In the sky, the huge floating island ship seemed to have lost power and fell vertically towards the sea.
“Plop.”
The island fell, and amid waves of screams, huge waves were raised, which slowly subsided after a long time.
Rebecca steadied herself on the shaking Black Dragon and looked at her brother beside her.
“What are we going to do with these people?”
Lugia closed his eyes and used his observation Haki to sense the situation on the floating island ship, and replied:
“Don’t worry about it. Some of them are powerless. Let them fend for themselves.”
“But the treasure can still be looted.”
Lugia’s words won Kalina’s full approval. The woman’s eyes had turned into money. Such a big ship must have a lot of treasure.
“Great, Captain. Leave the treasure counting to me. I am the best at this. Navigation can only come second.”
The five people looked at their companion who was obsessed with money with shame, not knowing what to say, but no one wanted to refute. It was not a big deal anyway, so just let her be!
Excited Kalina pulled her companions to the floating island. With the help of her captain’s power, no one dared to resist her actions.
This woman almost left nothing but a pair of pants for the people on the island. After counting them, she asked Rebecca to take her to the body of the golden lion, and struggled to pull out the dead wood and cherry trees on its legs, which made Rebecca feel so embarrassed that she couldn’t bear to watch.
However, Kalina didn’t agree at all. In her words, it was obvious that these two swords were not ordinary objects. If converted into money, they would be worth hundreds of millions of berries.
Kalina didn’t stop skinning people until the Black Dragon’s warehouse was full of gold.
After returning to the deck, we immediately shouted that we wanted to celebrate for today’s recovery.
In this way, the Black Dragon, with an obviously deeper draft, embarked on its journey again.
“Captain, we made a fortune this time. According to preliminary estimates, if we convert the gold into berries, we may make nearly 6 billion.”
“Oh? Isn’t that almost catching up with Dad’s head?”
Rebecca counted on her fingers very carefully, which made Lugia beside her sweat. You are such a filial daughter.
“That’s fine. There are six of us on the ship, and each of us has 1 billion berries.”
“You’re awesome Captain!”
Hearing Lugia’s assignment, Kalina’s eyes suddenly showed a little worry. Where can I find such a considerate captain? Why is she running away? She won’t leave even if you chase her with a stick.
…………
After the Navy experienced the destruction of its headquarters in the Battle of Marineford, it reselected a location for the new Navy Headquarters and made the G-1 Branch at the entrance to the New World the new headquarters, renamed it New Marineford.
A few days later, the news of Golden Lion’s death was also learned by the new Navy Admiral Akainu, who convened the first emergency meeting since taking office.
“The Golden Lion is dead.”
“What?”
“Who did it?”
As soon as the meeting began, all the generals were shocked by Akainu’s straightforward opening. Although Golden Lion was a complete loser in their era, he was once the overlord of the sky, and he was also the only criminal in history who escaped from Impel Down before the Battle of Marineford.
Now he died in such an unclear manner in the first half of the Grand Line, how could they not be shocked?
People in the conference room began to whisper to each other. Only Kizaru was calm and composed, holding a cup of tea and taking a sip from time to time, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
“The one who defeated Golden Lion was the captain of the Black Dragon Pirates, Twilight Lugia.”
