One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

The boy was surrounded by lightning and flames, and his right hand, holding the Zanpakuto, never stopped moving, meeting Shiki's sword light head-on.

A strange and wondrous sight appeared in the sky, prompting countless observers of the battlefield to exclaim in amazement.

Half of the sky was sometimes blazing like flames, and sometimes thunder roared, as if it had become a forbidden land on earth. The area within a radius of ten miles became a dangerous restricted zone, as if it would fall into a living hell at any moment.

The other half of the sky was truly a scene of white clouds and blue lions. As Shiki the Golden Lion activated his Float-Float Fruit ability, the surrounding blue clouds were transformed into countless cloud lions, which rushed towards Yang Ming from all directions, trying to hold him back so that his slashes could take effect.

Circumstances create heroes, and heroes also create circumstances!

Shiki the Golden Lion's personality is a perfect match for the Float-Float Fruit. This great pirate, skilled in planning and strategizing, is extremely adept at utilizing his surroundings. Anything of value can be used to his advantage, and he can transport it to the battlefield to achieve his goals.

Faced with such a terrifying humanoid natural disaster, ordinary people seem to have no choice but to despair.

Robin, known as the "Child of the Devil," was watching the great battle from afar, just like many other citizens of the Flower Country, her heart pounding with fear.

Such destructive power, beyond the imagination of ordinary people, would have been worthy of being worshipped as a god in the ignorant era of eight hundred years ago.

Yes, is it really human to be able to split the ocean and destroy a mountain with a single blow?

Sometimes, it even makes one wonder if the appearance of Uranus, Hades, and Poseidon back then was to restrain the existence of these people.

Robin unconsciously clenched his hands in front of his chest, his brows furrowed with anxiety and unease.

To be honest, Robin didn't really care who won or lost the fight, nor did she care who would live or die.

However, if we're being serious, Robin still leans towards the idea that Yang Ming, the young governor of the Western Sea, will survive.

Since the Ohara incident, Robin has been wandering around the West Blue, living a lonely and miserable life. Being recognized and betrayed by others is a common occurrence for her.

That's why Robin had witnessed the chaos in the Western Blue countries, but had never seen a country as orderly and stable as the Flower Country.

Under the governor's office, the Flower Country became a true paradise on earth. People had a secure livelihood and no longer had to worry about pirates, the mafia, or going hungry. On this land, as long as you had a pair of hardworking hands, you could become rich and make your family live a good life.

Robin wandered to this place, discovered its special features, and after settling there for a while, he felt an unprecedented sense of security.

If anything were to happen to Yang Ming, the young Governor-General of the Western Sea, all of this would cease to exist, and the chaotic situation would return to what it was before.

"come on!"

There were many residents like Robin, and countless ordinary people secretly prayed for Yang Ming.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

The strong often subconsciously ignore the opinions of the weak, thinking that it is only natural for the weak to serve the strong, unaware that this is a complete misguided path.

Seemingly in response to the people's voice, Yang Ming forced Shiki the Golden Lion back with a slash, and countless scattered ice fragments and mist gradually appeared behind him.

These blocks of ice were stacked into a giant statue at an extremely fast speed.

"Fog and ice! Water Lily Bodhisattva!"

The bodhisattva is over 100 meters tall, with five topknots on his head representing the five wisdoms of Vairocana. His expression is dignified and serene. He sits on a water lily formed from condensed ice mist, with thirty-two petals, a heart-shaped base, and wavy, serrated edges.

This is an image of Manjushri Bodhisattva!

A thin mist of ice, mixed with scattered ice fragments, permeated the air, bringing a chilling sensation to the already tense battlefield.

As the Water Lily Bodhisattva opened and closed her eyes, two giant hands, imbued with astonishing power, repeatedly struck the approaching cloud lions with palm prints. Each palm strike carried terrifying power, and with each strike, a cloud lion would be instantly blasted apart, turning back into clouds and dissipating into the air.

Shiki the Golden Lion raised an eyebrow, sensing that something was amiss.

He was not surprised by the appearance of the giant water lily bodhisattva. On the contrary, he felt that the water lily bodhisattva was in great conflict with Yang Ming's abilities, so why did Yang Ming still use it?

Not long after the Water Lily Bodhisattva appeared, it was affected by the high temperature emanating from the Zanpakuto. Its body surface began to melt, and icy mist continued to rise and spread in all directions.

Judging from this situation, it will probably not be long before this Water Lily Bodhisattva completely melts away.

With his shrewd insight and years of combat experience, Shiki the Golden Lion noticed some inconsistencies, but ultimately, due to the gap in intelligence, he failed to understand Yang Ming's sinister intentions.

The ever-melting Water Lily Bodhisattva is spreading countless ice mists into the air. The tiny ice crystals mixed in are so inconspicuous that a normal person would not notice anything wrong. Now, in a very subtle way, they flow through the air to Shiki the Golden Lion and enter his respiratory system through his breath.

Chapter 203 Rules are meant to be broken!

The wind howled, and thunder roared.

The scorching air currents continued to rise, encountering the cold air in the strong troposphere. Amidst the dark clouds, lightning, and thunder, sparse raindrops began to fall to earth.

The rain gradually intensified, and the raindrops strung together like a beaded curtain, hanging down.

The torrential rain, like raindrops pattering on banana leaves, fell on Shiki the Golden Lion, covering him with a thin layer of mist.

A battle that lasted for more than an hour wouldn't have been tiring in one's youth, but Shiki the Golden Lion was already over sixty years old, and the signs of age were gradually becoming apparent. The blond old man's breathing was no longer as even as it had been at the beginning, and he had started to pant.

With each breath, he inhales a large amount of oxygen from the air, and the tiny ice crystals floating in the mist silently seep into his respiratory system through his nasal cavity.

Shiki the Golden Lion gradually felt some difficulty breathing, but mistakenly thought it was due to his advanced age and excessive physical exhaustion, so he didn't take it too seriously.

However, if you were to dissect Shiki the Golden Lion's chest at this moment and observe his alveoli under a microscope, you would see a large number of tiny ice crystals gradually filling his alveoli and spreading from there to his internal organs.

Looking up at the boy a hundred meters away, Shiki the Golden Lion couldn't help but reveal a bitter expression on his face.

Yang Ming was young and vigorous, and with the combined effect of various abilities, he did not show any signs of discouragement. On the contrary, he was still in peak combat strength, and it seemed that he could fight for another seven days and seven nights without any problem.

Time waits for no one!

Shiki the Golden Lion couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Regardless of the circumstances, Shiki the Golden Lion had no excuse to back down.

If he were to retire today, his lifelong reputation would be lost, and he would never have the chance to rise again.

If he were to risk his life to kill this young governor of the West Sea here, the West Sea Mafia would be revived, and he would have time to rebuild his new Flying Pirates.

The future looks bright, but the reality is harsh.

"Qiang!"

When their swords clashed again, feeling the immense force emanating from his Zanpakuto, and the serpentine arcs of lightning traveling from his famous swords, Sakura Jutsu and Kuki, to his legs, Shiki the Golden Lion's brow furrowed with a serious expression. He thought to himself:

"Did this kid start cultivating from the womb? Why hasn't his condition declined yet?"

Shiki the Golden Lion flew lightly backward about three meters to dissipate the force transmitted from the sword and to relieve the numbness in his legs.

This situation would never have occurred before.

As his stamina waned, the Armament Haki that had covered Shiki's body was no longer as strong as it had been at the beginning, and he could no longer take the tens of millions of volts of electricity lightly.

Seeing Shiki the Golden Lion's gloomy expression, Yang Ming, a master of the art of battle, didn't forget to verbally deflate the arrogance of this legendary pirate, jokingly saying:

"Is this all the top-tier combat power of this era?"

Normally, Shiki the Golden Lion could have dealt with it calmly.

But at this moment, the blond old man felt a surge of anger rising in his heart, which aggravated his internal organs that were being devoured by the ice crystals. A surge of hot blood rushed to his head, and an abnormal crimson color appeared on his aged face. Several blue veins bulged on his forehead, twitching like loaches and forming a grid pattern.

"Boy, what do you take me for?"

"I'm the man who will rule this ocean from the sky!"

Shiki the Golden Lion was enraged. With a surge of energy in his heart, his legs moved like a madman, sweeping forward wildly. Terrifying slashes, capable of splitting mountains and shattering seas, surged forward like layers of waves, trying to engulf the boy who had provoked him in endless attacks.

Seeing Shiki the Golden Lion in a fit of rage, Yang Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

When Yang Ming was studying under Chief Instructor Garp and Zephyr, he learned that there was no need to talk about morality or righteousness with the enemy on the battlefield. As long as the goal could be achieved, any means could be used.

The tactic of provocation may seem ordinary and is a very common trick, but the fact that it has been passed down for thousands of years without losing its effectiveness means that it must have its unique function.

Sure enough, Yang Ming's few words ignited Shiki the Golden Lion's fury.

From a perspective imperceptible to the naked eye, the ice crystals left behind in Shiki the Golden Lion's body also took this opportunity to expand rapidly.

This change was the kind that happened gradually and imperceptibly. Under normal circumstances, Shiki the Golden Lion would have noticed it, given his keen mind. However, now that he was on the battlefield, where a slight mistake could lead to total defeat, all his energy was focused on dealing with the enemy. Even when he had a spare moment, his attention was drawn to Yang Ming's sarcastic remarks, so he naturally had no time to notice the changes in his body.

The two sides clashed again at close range.

The clash between Conqueror's Haki caused red and black lightning to flash around the two of them from time to time.

The New Flying Pirates originally had several floating islands, but they had already crumbled into dust during the intense battle between the two over the past hour. To avoid the aftershocks of the battle affecting the people of the Flower Country, under Yang Ming's conscious guidance, the battlefield between the two sides had already moved from the Flower Country to the vast and boundless sea.

The dark ocean surged with waves tens of meters high. Before the surging waves could even get close to the two of them, they were cleaved in two by the sharp, knife-like wind, turning into sparkling water droplets that splashed onto the sea surface.

Both were top experts of their time, and the aftershocks of their battle even caused the rain to pause, unable to reach them at all, creating a fairly obvious vacuum zone.

The Zanpakuto clashed loudly with the famous swords Sakura Ju and Koki, sparking dazzling sparks from their friction.

Shiki the Golden Lion keenly noticed the faint smile on the boy's lips, who was so close to him. His heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding suddenly enveloped him.

The development of Observation Haki will have different effects depending on each person's comprehension, aptitude, and opportunities.

While Shiki the Golden Lion didn't develop the incredible ability to foresee the future, he did enhance his sense of crisis and its warnings. He sensed a terrible crisis approaching, but couldn't pinpoint the problem for the time being.

In addition, what made him even more uncomfortable was that Yang Ming possessed various abilities. Whenever he fought Yang Ming for a period of time, Shiki the Golden Lion would feel all sorts of discomfort, whether mental or physical.

The genjutsu effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan are quite effective against ordinary strong opponents, but their effectiveness is greatly reduced against those who have awakened Conqueror's Haki.

Those who can awaken Conqueror's Haki are all individuals with extremely firm wills, possessing unparalleled willpower and personal charisma. Mere illusions cannot sway their resolve.

That being said, if illusions are used too often, they can also cause considerable trouble for the opponent.

Not to mention, Yang Ming's slashes also come with various special effects, such as stun, penetration, super-burn, burning, and damage enhancement, which are enough to surprise any enemy.

If it were a pirate like Gecko Moria, a Shichibukai of the Sea, he wouldn't have lasted this long under Yang Ming's blade.

While keeping the enemy busy, Yang Ming also used his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to observe Shiki the Golden Lion's weaknesses.

The threads that make up everything were laid bare before Yang Ming's eyes. The death lines on Shiki the Golden Lion were fleeting, and the point of death was even more elusive. Moreover, whenever Yang Ming tried to strike him hard along the death lines, this legendary pirate with a keen sense of smell could always sense the impending danger one step ahead. He was as slippery as an eel, never letting Yang Ming succeed.

This time, it's different from the battle against the Commander-in-Chief of the entire army, Steelbone Sky.

At that time, Yang Ming appeared as Li Qing, the Dark Lord, and had the help of six puppets such as Captain John and Jack the Drought, which made it easy for him to severely injure Steelbone.

Now, it will naturally be much more difficult for Yang Ming to fight alone.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Yang Ming stopped pretending, laid his cards on the table, and said with a cold laugh:

"Old man, don't you notice anything wrong with your body?"

Upon hearing this, Shiki the Golden Lion initially thought Yang Ming was deliberately trying to trick him and didn't pay much attention.

In his decades-long career, Shiki the Golden Lion has experienced countless instances of deception in war. How could he be so easily fooled? Do you really think he's a three-year-old child who can be easily deceived?

Wait!

Shiki the Golden Lion suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his figure abruptly stopped in mid-air.

He looked down at his chest and felt a chill spreading across his heart, freezing everything in its path.
