Chapter 75: Unbelievable! The Mighty Golden Lion Shiki! (Ch 75)

Inside the banquet hall, the flashing of swords and the roar of black lions intertwined into a chaotic battlefield, and the aftermath of the energy collision caused the space to distort.

The giants of the underground world, faced with this sudden storm, were like frightened birds, fleeing everywhere and looking for possible refuge.

Although Desolo’s golden shield temporarily blocked some of the attacks, cracks began to appear under such a fierce impact.

“Have these two people’s strengths reached this point? Even their remaining power…”

There was a flash of disbelief and astonishment in Desolo’s eyes, and his words were ruthlessly interrupted by the sudden intensification of the vibration.

The dome of the banquet hall began to collapse in large chunks, and rubble and dust poured down like a waterfall, shrouding the entire banquet hall in chaos.

“Aaron, don’t forget your promise to me!”

The former pointed at the phone screen and shouted at the back:

“After this is done, I will ensure that she leaves safely and unharmed.”

“Shirley!!”

“I…I can’t…”

Aaron’s words were shattered in the roar, and his eyes wavered between hesitation and determination. In the end, he trembled and grasped a black iron rod, and resolutely stepped into the center of the battlefield.

“You little brat, your strength has grown to this level without you noticing.”

Shi Ji’s body was covered in bloodstains, and black mist was lingering around him, making him look even more hideous and terrifying:

“I have to admit that Roger is far better than me in terms of training the younger generation.”

“You old man who only dares to punch the weak, you are not worthy of being compared with Captain Roger!”

The sword was re-condensed in Buggy’s hand. Drops of blood slid down the tip of the sword, condensing into a shocking pool of blood, which was particularly glaring on the floor of the banquet hall:

“You are old, Shiqi, why don’t you just go back and be a rich man?”

“Hahahahaha——”

“You’re actually teasing me. When I was fighting Marinford alone, you were probably still wearing open-crotch pants.”

Shiki slowly took off his torn coat, revealing his scarred but still strong muscles, and suddenly laughed:

“By the way, you also started out from the East China Sea, right? Let me tell you in secret, this weakest sea area will soon cease to exist!”

As he spoke, the floating islands around him began to move closer together, as if following some unknown gravity, and the battle in the banquet hall became more intense and chaotic.

“What…what happened? Why did it suddenly get dark?”

The usurer king Du Field shouted in horror. He looked up at the dome of the banquet hall and saw that the originally broken hole was now filled with thick darkness, as if the entire sky was swallowed up.

“It’s… an island! The island is floating over here!”

Morgans, the king of news who had been secretly recording in the corner, also put down his camera in horror. His eyes widened with fear, and he pointed outside the banquet hall with a trembling voice.

The window shattered in the violent shaking. Through the huge gap, everyone could clearly see that the islands were slowly approaching in the darkness like huge meteorites. The distance between them was constantly shortening, as if they were going to completely destroy the isolated island.

“Old man, are you crazy? You invited all those guys here. If they die here, the entire underground world will take crazy revenge on you!”

Seeing those huge islands approaching, Buggy’s body glowed white, and his ability to shatter caused the ground beneath his feet to begin to crack. However, even so, his expression remained as solemn as iron:

“Or did you intend to destroy both you and the enemy from the very beginning?”

“Don’t give me that. I haven’t lived long enough.”

Shiki sneered, “In the future, people will only know that it was Buggy the Clown who caused chaos at the Captains’ Club and killed all the guests. This has nothing to do with me.”

As he was speaking, a deafening roar came from outside the banquet hall. An island finally collided with an isolated island, boulders rolled, and waves surged. The entire banquet hall was shaking under this destructive force.

“I understand, but…it’s enough to get rid of you before this island completely collapses!”

The long sword “Victor” in Buggy’s hand flashed a dazzling white light again, and his body was like a phantom split into two halves, rushing towards Shiki at an astonishing speed.

Every time the knife was swung, there was a sound of space being torn apart, as if even the air was being cut by the sharp blade.

However, this time Shiqi seemed like a different person, just constantly dodging and unwilling to confront head-on.

The ability of the Float-Float Fruit makes him as light as a feather, allowing him to move freely among Buggy’s fierce attacks.

Sometimes he appeared on the ceiling of the banquet hall, and sometimes he hid in the cracks of the floor. Every time he appeared, he was accompanied by a black mist, making it difficult to track his whereabouts.

“Ship…Captain!”

Aaron’s voice was particularly abrupt in the chaos. He held the iron rod tightly and slowly walked behind Bucky:

“I…I’ll help you.”

“Aaron——”

Upon hearing the voice, Buggy turned around abruptly, landed firmly on the ground, and stood back to back with the former, with a complicated smile on his face:

“I didn’t expect to see you here again. It’s really unpredictable. But now is not the time to reminisce. You should take everyone with you…”

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. His whole body went limp and he half-knelt on the ground in an instant.

The sudden scene stunned everyone, including Shiki who was fighting with Buggy. He temporarily stopped and stood there in shock.

In the chaos, the iron rod in Aaron’s hand was deeply embedded in Bucky’s chest. Blood gushed out like a fountain, quickly staining his clothes red.

The deep red color was particularly dazzling in the dim banquet hall.

“Ahem… ahem… why!?”

Bucky’s eyes were filled with shock and confusion. He looked back in disbelief, his voice weak and trembling.

“Hahaha–“

“Great! Great! Great!”

Seeing this, Desolo laughed arrogantly:

“That’s an iron rod made of seastone. This magnificent performance is finally coming to an end.”

“Captain, I’m…I’m sorry!”

Aaron used his hand to stop Bucky’s wound from bleeding, tears rolling down like pearls from a broken string:

“Don’t worry… Desolo promised that he would only ask you to stop, and would never harm your life!”

“I see… you did this.”

Shiqi slowly floated down from mid-air, scanning Desolo with sharp eyes, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

“My dear brother, what era is this? There is no need to stick to the old-fashioned duel when problems can be solved with the brain!”

The latter looked up, a smug sneer on his face:

“That guy is already at the end of his rope, so let’s act quickly…”

“Asshole!”

Shiki roared, grabbed Desolo by the collar, and lifted him up.

“How dare you do something secretly? You almost ruined the reputation I have built on the sea over the years!”

Before he finished speaking, he swung his arm and threw Desolo heavily onto the ruins of a pile of broken walls like throwing away garbage. There was a loud “bang” and dust flew everywhere. Desolo lay on the ground in a mess and was unable to get up for a while.

However, something unexpected happened.

Shiqi glanced expressionlessly at the trembling waiter beside him, then snatched the sword from his hand without hesitation.

With a flash of cold light, the sharp blade stabbed straight towards his waist. Blood slid down the blade and dripped onto the ground, making a “tick, tick” sound, which was particularly clear in the silent air.

But Shiqi’s expression did not change at all, as if the knife wound did not exist at all.

“Boy, I don’t owe you anything now!”
