One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

This great pirate, who had traveled far and wide for many years, had long since integrated swordsmanship and physical skills. He was not bound by the number or strength of his moves, but constantly changed them according to the time and place. His complex and dazzling attack methods, combined with his unconventional thinking, made his fist and sword skills as unpredictable as a gazelle hanging its horns, making them difficult for ordinary people to understand.

His boxing style is powerful and domineering.

Swordsmanship is unpredictable.

In Shiki the Golden Lion, you can't see the decadence and dejection that a disabled old man should have. The old man who lost his legs did not lose his strength. On the contrary, he benefited from the misfortune. With the ability of the Float-Float Fruit, he was able to unleash a terrifying effect of 1+1>2 with his hands and legs.

Amidst the fierce and relentless attacks, a handsome figure flickered erratically.

The louder the waves, the more expensive the fish.

Yang Ming was like a Martin fish riding the waves, seemingly facing difficulties and dangers, appearing to be on the verge of collapse, but in reality, he was handling things with ease.

The crisscrossing sword energy that rushed towards him was as sharp as a blade, capable of easily leaving sharp marks on a three-centimeter-thick steel plate, but unable to leave the slightest trace on his pure white general's uniform.

Like butterflies flitting among flowers, people weaved through the dense winds of fists and sword energy. Flames and thunder obeyed the command of this elemental master, transforming into terrifying killing moves that descended upon the world.

"boom!"

The floating island suddenly trembled, and pillars of fire, each as thick as ten people could hug, shot into the sky, accompanied by terrifying magma that spewed forth. The rolling magma spilled onto the ground, engulfing and igniting all the bushes and grass, and raging flames quickly ignited on the magma.

The floating island, which was originally like a paradise on earth, was instantly transformed into a scene of blazing hell. Large areas of forest spontaneously combusted and burned, emitting thick smoke. The temperature in the air rose sharply in a short period of time, jumping hundreds of degrees Celsius every second, reaching a scorching temperature of 5700 degrees Celsius in a very short time.

Reaching a temperature of 5700 degrees Celsius on the surface of the sun is something that most people cannot withstand!

With the support of various abilities, Yang Ming was able to unleash such a deadly move.

The air was extremely distorted, and oxygen was rapidly evaporated. It was obvious that breathing became extremely difficult, and each breath felt scorching, rushing through the nasal cavity and into the internal organs.

Shiki the Golden Lion's expression instantly changed, and upon realizing the danger, he automatically shut off his breathing.

He is old, and his internal organs are inevitably failing. If these scorching energies were to enter his body, it would inevitably damage his health from the inside out, leading to extremely serious consequences.

For a powerhouse of his caliber, even temporarily stopping breathing wouldn't have much of an impact, and he could maintain it for about ten to half an hour.

However, Shiki the Golden Lion thought more and saw further ahead.

If Yang Ming intends to stall for time, the longer the battle goes on, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.

This is the tragedy of all those who have achieved fame and strength; no one can resist the erosion brought by time.

If they were in their prime, they could fight for seven days and seven nights without feeling tired. But as they grow old and their bodies weaken, they can no longer maintain the fierce fighting record of their youth.

A fierce slash forced Yang Ming back. Taking advantage of this opening, Shiki the Golden Lion used his Float-Float Fruit ability to quickly lift his body into the air, away from the floating island that was completely submerged in flames and lava.

Once they left the floating island, the cool, fragrant air from the outside world made Shiki the Golden Lion feel much better.

However, before Shiki could catch his breath, his Observation Haki suddenly issued an urgent warning.

Yang Ming raised his right arm high above his head, pointed one finger to the sky, and shouted coldly:

"Lightning Release! Kirin!"

Unbeknownst to them, dark clouds gathered in the sky. With Yang Ming's command, lightning flashed and thunder roared in an instant, the merciless lightning illuminating Shiki the Golden Lion's face until it turned deathly pale.

Bolts of lightning as thick as buckets fell, converging in mid-air into a colossal object as the Golden Lion Shiki stared in astonishment.

The power of the Qilin should not be underestimated.

Lightning travels at extremely high speeds, reaching 15 kilometers per second.

Although the Qilin does not possess such terrifying speed, its continuous acceleration far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.

With the boost of 200 million volts, the power of the Lightning Release: Kirin was enough to instantly annihilate a town.

With his Armament Haki, honed over decades, fully covering his body, Shiki the Golden Lion, while unafraid of the approaching lightning, was somewhat wary of its paralyzing effect.

In a battle between the strong, every second counts.

Any oversight can leave the opponent with a fatal weakness.

Shiki the Golden Lion lived up to his reputation as a top-tier fighter. Not only was his thinking extremely flexible, but his moves were also as imaginative as his techniques. He immediately activated the Float-Float Fruit's power, and invisible ripples spread out along the tip of his sword, enveloping the floating islands and stirring up the magma and flames that originally covered them, shaping them into flaming lions over a hundred meters in size in a short time.

"The power of the lion! Imperial palace scroll!"

This technique can not only control flames and lava, but also blizzards, ocean currents and other things to its own advantage, truly making the most of everything.

Anything on the battlefield can become a valuable bargaining chip in Shiki the Golden Lion's hands.

The old man laughed heartily and made a bold declaration.

"You brat, let this hothouse flower like you see the terror of a real pirate!"

Shiki the Golden Lion showed no intention of dodging; instead, he planned to attack relentlessly. The ferocious, fiery lion pounced on Yang Ming as soon as it appeared, engulfing him in endless waves of flame until he was no longer visible.

At the same time, Shiki the Golden Lion twisted his waist and swept his right leg out, the famous sword Sakura Ju directly kicked out a giant sword aura, flying diagonally upward with invincible power.

"Chop!"

The giant sword aura, hundreds of meters long, was incredibly powerful. The moment it touched the Thunder Release Kirin, it rapidly disintegrated its massive body, not only cleaving it in two but also causing it to disintegrate back into scattered arcs of lightning.

With his right hand clenched into a fist, Shiki the Golden Lion curled a sinister smile. Invisible ripples spread from his palm, enveloping the chaotic arcs of lightning. Under the influence of the Float-Float Fruit, these arcs of lightning were actually reassembled, forming several lightning lions over a hundred meters in size.

Just then, Yang Ming emerged unharmed from the waves of flames.

Before Yang Ming could react, Shiki the Golden Lion raised his right hand, and the Thunder Lion, which he had just tamed, turned its spear and swooped down with unparalleled force. The Thunder Lion bared its fangs and claws, wanting to tear everything in front of it to shreds.

For ordinary strong individuals, both flames and lightning are highly sought-after abilities, as they can give them an advantage in battle.

However, for powerful individuals who have roamed the New World for many years, flames and lightning are merely ordinary abilities, not particularly outstanding.

Shiki the Golden Lion is a former member of the Rocks Pirates. He has known and been acquainted with Big Mom Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts for many years, so he is naturally very familiar with these two abilities. Moreover, he has used these two Yonko as hypothetical enemies in his mind and simulated how to deal with them.

This is why Shiki the Golden Lion was able to so easily turn the tables on Yang Ming.

Perhaps the only thing that Shiki the Golden Lion should be wary of is that the flames Yang Ming creates can reach the surface temperature of the sun!

Seemingly realizing that he couldn't achieve anything by simply relying on flames and thunder, Yang Ming changed his mind and immediately entered the Thunderous Transformation state.

Azure arcs of lightning coiled around Yang Ming's body, his hair stood on end, and his aura surged. Stimulated by the electric current, his body suddenly swelled, his biceps bulged, and veins bulged from his skin.

"shave!"

With a fierce stomp of his right foot, he left a deep imprint on the ground, but Yang Ming had already vanished without a trace.

Ordinary naval officers and soldiers can only achieve a distance of 100 meters in four seconds when using the "Shave" technique, one of the six naval styles.

With the electric current stimulating his leg muscles, Yang Ming's speed far exceeded this limit, reaching an astonishing speed of 400 meters per second, comparable to the speed of a bullet.

Like a brute, the boy fearlessly passed through the thunderous lion, his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki swirling around the Zanpakuto, giving it a hint of blackening.

"Focus on one point, and reach the pinnacle!"

The next instant, a ferocious slash that could split mountains and cleave seas erupted.

Chapter 202 Blood Demon Art! Water Lily Bodhisattva

The blade's edge tore through the lightning, piercing the sky with unstoppable force.

As Yang Ming closed in at bullet speed, Shiki the Golden Lion's gaze wasn't on him, but rather on the Zanpakuto in his hand.

Zanpakuto are forged from human souls, naturally possessing a deeper foundation than ordinary famous swords. Now, under the influence of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, they are showing signs of turning into black swords.

Every great swordsman in the world is equipped with a black sword, which, to some extent, has become a dividing line for judging a great swordsman.

On this vast ocean, swordsmen exist in several ambiguous realms.

Firstly, it senses the breath of all things and possesses the power to cut through steel.

Secondly, it can unleash a slashing attack capable of cutting through warships.

Thirdly, it cannot cut anything, not even paper.

Fourth, the sword was dyed black.

The black blade possesses unparalleled hardness, enabling it to unleash even more powerful slashes.

To imbue a sword with such a powerful aura as black, one needs an abundance of domineering energy.

However, to permanently stain a sword black requires a great deal of time and effort to succeed.

Shiki the Golden Lion gritted his teeth, his lips curling up in a wild, unrestrained smile.

This is the kind of opponent he should go all out against!

The same Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki successively enveloped the famous swords Sakura Jutsu and Kuki. Shiki the Golden Lion, unfazed by the young commodore's challenge, not only showed no intention of avoiding it but charged straight at it.

Both sides possessed highly advanced levels of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki. Their swords did not actually touch; it was merely a fleeting collision from a distance. It was as if two invisible and intangible walls had violently collided, with invisible shockwaves sweeping out in all directions, accompanied by interplay of red and black lightning.

The floating island beneath them seemed unable to withstand the aftershocks of the battle, or perhaps it had already been ravaged by flames and lava and was on the verge of collapse. Now, it was merely the last straw that broke the camel's back. The earth cracked open at a visible speed, shattering into countless pieces of stone.

Before the broken stones could even hit the ground, they were struck by a sharp, knife-like blast of air, shattering into even smaller grains of sand and dust that vanished with the wind.

The battle between Yang Ming and Shiki the Golden Lion was approaching its climax, with the clanging of swords clashing incessantly, making one's blood boil. Even the dark, cloud-covered sky was affected by the aftershocks of their battle, tearing open a long trench.

From a distance, it looked as if the sky itself had been fiercely sliced ​​in two by the two of them.

"Lion! Thousand Cut Valley!"

Shiki the Golden Lion unleashed a barrage of kicks, his famous swords Sakura Ju and Kuki creating layers upon layers of waves on his legs, like endless ocean waves, one after another, making it seem as if one were on a turbulent sea, completely disoriented.

What's even more terrifying is that every time these two famous swords are swung, they can unleash a powerful slashing wave capable of splitting mountains and cleaving seas. If one is not careful, one will be torn to shreds by this terrifying blade light, leaving not even a trace of bone.

Such an astonishing slash would be extremely difficult for an ordinary swordsman to wield, but Shiki the Golden Lion seemed to have no thought whatsoever, as if it were effortless. Even his breathing remained as even as ever. The entire movement was executed in one smooth motion, and words like "fast, accurate, and ruthless" are insufficient to describe it; only "breathtaking" can be used to describe it.

Faced with such powerful and dense attacks, the warning and predictive effects of Observation Haki were suppressed to a minimum.

Because, as far as the eye could see, there were endless slashes, with no way to avoid them or escape them; the only option was to confront them head-on.

This is the battle of top-tier combatants, abandoning all fancy techniques and pushing strength and principles to their limits. Only the strongest can survive in such fierce battles, and all those who try to take crooked paths will perish completely.

A cold, sharp wind whistled in Yang Ming's ears, and at the same time, a system notification sounded.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Demon Slayer. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

Yang Ming glanced at the lottery wheel when he had a moment to spare. The prizes were categorized into three types: summoning characters, blood demon techniques, and breathing techniques.

Summoned characters: Kibutsuji Muzan, Suzamaru, Hand Demon...

Blood Demon Arts: Blood Bewitchment, Line Prison, Eye-Killing Corpse ⒖ (This last part is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)

Breathing techniques: Sun Breathing, Water Breathing, Flame Breathing...

【Mist Ice - Water Lily Bodhisattva】: Creates a giant ice figure in the shape of a Bodhisattva with hands clasped together. Once the skin comes into contact with the ice crystals, it will freeze quickly. If the enemy inhales the broken ice crystals, it will cause difficulty breathing and lead to alveolar necrosis.
