"call!"
Even his everyday breathing exhaled a thick, cold air.
"What time is this...?"
Shiki the Golden Lion was suddenly startled, and he suddenly recalled the ice mist lotus bodhisattva that appeared behind Yang Ming during the previous battle.
At that time, he had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
Even if he had come to his senses by now, it would have been too late!
His body had long been riddled with holes by the ice crystals, filled with ice crystals that were difficult to see with the naked eye.
Shiki the Golden Lion clutched his chest, laughing in exasperation:
"I never expected that the Governor-General of the Western Sea would resort to such underhanded methods."
Yang Ming was not angry. He simply looked calmly at the old man, whose life was like a candle flickering in the wind, and said:
"Rules are meant to be broken!"
"Golden Lion, you are old, this era no longer belongs to you!"
Chapter 204 Golden Lion: I am a remnant of the old era, the new world has no ship to carry me.
The wind howls, the rain falls softly.
As the ice crystals inside his body erupted, the ice on Shiki's body gradually spread. Although he was able to hold on for a while thanks to his strong physique, he eventually suffered damage to his internal organs, and his movements became increasingly stiff and slow.
No matter how strong the human body is, its internal organs are ultimately the most vulnerable part.
Shiki the Golden Lion never imagined that he, who had spent his whole life hunting eagles, would one day have his eye pecked by a fledgling eagle.
Perhaps, just as the laws of nature dictate, an aging lion, when confronted by a challenger, will lose its status as the king of the forest and its territory, relinquishing its throne to the outsider.
Large beads of sweat streamed down his forehead. Every moment Shiki the Golden Lion felt a shortness of breath, his lungs, heart, liver, and other internal organs were constantly numbing in pain, emanating an icy aura. The ice covering his chest had spread to half of his body, making him look like a figure frozen in ice.
When Yang Ming closed in again, Shiki the Golden Lion still had the will to continue fighting, but his body was already nearing its end and he could no longer move. He could only watch helplessly as the Zanpakuto, wreathed in flames and lightning, pierced straight into his heart.
"Pfft!"
The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out.
The blade pierced through Shiki the Golden Lion's back, drawing out a mouthful of scalding blood from his heart.
Taking advantage of this lull, Yang Ming finally had time to pay attention to the system notification he had previously ignored.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from League of Legends. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"
"Yes!"
In Yang Ming's line of sight, a lottery wheel that was invisible to others gradually appeared, divided into four sections: normal skills, hero skills, equipment and items, and hero skins.
Common skills: Barrier, Cleanse, Insight, Ignite, Weakness, Blink, Ghost Step, Heal, Clarity, Guardian, Crossbow, Retribution, Mark, Teleport.
Hero Abilities: Shattering Flame, Lava Shield, Alpha Strike, Meditation, Wuju Style, Void Blade, Energy Pulse, Void Sphere...
Equipment and items: Hextech Belt, Righteous Glory, Twin Shadows, Trinity Force, Boots of Speed...
Hero Skins: Future Warrior, Steel Wings, Lu Bu (Fengxian), Champion's Blade...
[Hextech Belt]: A Hextech creation that allows you to dash in the target direction, unleashing rockets that deal damage, and then granting movement speed as you move toward enemies.
The Hextech belt naturally cinched around Yang Ming's waist, adding a touch of technological flair to his appearance.
When Yang Ming pulled the Zanpakuto out of his body, a spurt of blood instantly shot out from the blade, which Yang Ming dodged by turning his head.
Feeling the life force within him being released like a flood bursting through a dam in a short period of time, Shiki the Golden Lion smiled wearily, his eyelids feeling as heavy as if they weighed a ton, as if he wanted to close his eyes completely.
Shiki the Golden Lion lay face up on the surging sea below, his mind racing through important moments of his life like a slideshow.
Locks D. Gibek.
Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man.
Kaido of the Beasts.
Charlotte Linlin, an older woman.
Roger D. Roger, the Pirate King.
Marshal of the Warring States Period.
Cap.
His mind was filled with memories of the past, of familiar old friends and enemies, their faces gradually blurring, their figures overlapping and intersecting, until finally the image settled on a young brigadier general holding a Zanpakuto, and the changing of the times seemed to freeze at that moment.
"I am a remnant of the old era, and the new world has no ship to carry me!"
In the instant he lost consciousness, the ice crystals that Shiki the Golden Lion had been suppressing within him were no longer restrained and spread out like a wild horse. The ice spread throughout his body in a short time, enveloping his entire corpse in a thick ice coffin and radiating a chilling aura in all directions.
Before the ice coffin could fall into the sea, a strong and powerful hand caught it.
"Whoosh!"
A plume of smoke billowed from his nostrils, and Yang Ming's lips curled up slightly.
"Finally, I'll execute you on the spot."
"In that case, nothing and no one will be able to stop me from becoming a Marine Admiral!"
Back then, after his battle with Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, Admiral Kizaru Borsalino had a permanent scar on his face and planned to retire early. If it weren't for Fleet Admiral Sengoku's intention to retain him, there might be one admiral missing from the Marine Headquarters now.
At that time, Fleet Admiral Sengoku proposed a competitive selection process within the Marine Headquarters. Within three years, whoever captured the pirate with the highest bounty would be promoted to the next Marine Headquarters Admiral.
Three years!
This is the last year!
During these three years, Yang Ming first concocted the so-called Captain John's Treasure in Water Seven, devised a plan to trap them like turtles in a jar, arrested and imprisoned a large number of pirates, bandits, and human traffickers, and even broadcasted the execution of Drought Jack live, accumulating merits for him to become a naval commodore.
Now, Yang Ming has personally captured the legendary pirate Shiki the Golden Lion, completely laying the foundation for his fame and silencing any doubters.
If he cannot become a Marine Admiral, then who is capable of taking on this important task?
"The old era is over, the future will be my era!"
Yang Ming's eyes were deep, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
He has many things he wants to do, but he must become a Marine Admiral, or even a Fleet Admiral, to be able to do them.
The mere Governor-General of the Western Sea has a rather narrow vision!
After fighting for an hour or two, despite feeling extremely exhausted, Yang Ming rallied his spirits, picked up the ice coffin in his hand, and, with his feet treading on the air, hurried back to the Flower Kingdom to deliver the good news of the great victory to his subordinates.
The new Flying Pirates are ultimately inferior to the original Flying Pirates. Apart from Shiki the Golden Lion, who can be considered a prominent figure, there is no one else who can be called a strong person. Even Indigo, the ship's doctor whom Shiki the Golden Lion relies on, is not worth mentioning.
Shortly after Shiki the Golden Lion was lured away by Yang Ming, the battle surrounding the Governor's Mansion came to a complete end.
Those rare beasts and pirates who had ingested the SIQ drug had long been ruthlessly wiped out by the governor's army, and corpses and blood were scattered all over the ground.
When Yang Ming rushed back to the governor's mansion, he still saw ordinary soldiers cleaning up the battlefield.
Cleaning up the battlefield is a skilled job, not just about removing corpses. It also involves checking for any forgotten enemies feigning death and finishing them off to eliminate any potential threats and prevent them from becoming a malignant tumor.
All the limbs and scraps of flesh on the ground need to be collected and sent to the incinerator along with the corpses to prevent the corpses from rotting and causing disease outbreaks, which could lead to unnecessary casualties.
Soldiers wounded on the battlefield were also transferred to rear hospitals for treatment.
Thanks to the addition of Princess Mansherry from the Lilliputian Kingdom, the life potion extracted from her bathwater possesses a weak healing ability. One bottle of life potion may not be effective, but simply immersing the human body in the potion will eventually lead to a qualitative change, enabling the wounded to recover in a short time.
Even if a wounded soldier has a broken arm or leg, it's not considered a serious injury. They can simply wait for Yang Ming to arrive, return to Water Seven via the teleportation point, and be personally healed by Princess Mansherry of Lilliput. Under the effect of the healing fruit, any injury can be restored to its original state.
There is no need to fear getting hurt, or even fear dying.
This is why the General Army, founded by Yang Ming, was seen as a fierce and ruthless force by others.
When you face a group of enemies who are not afraid of death, the psychological pressure can be enough to crush your will.
Moreover, most people who become pirates, bandits, or members of the mafia are gathered together for profit, with the exception of a few. They rarely have any sense of unity, and once they encounter strong external pressure, they will instantly reveal their true colors as a disorganized mob.
Pirates and mafia members in the West Blue are as numerous as hairs on a cow, but when faced with the united Governor-General, they will naturally be utterly crushed.
Yang Ming carried the ice coffin and swaggered along the way, making no attempt to conceal himself.
As Yang Ming walked along, he saw that the infamous Golden Lion Shiki was frozen in an ice coffin, and even his expression before death was lifelike. This immediately drew cheers from countless people in the Flower Kingdom.
The streets were deserted!
Upon hearing the news, the people came out of their houses and saw the figure of the young man chasing cicadas across the sky. Many people wept with joy and waved in Yang Ming's direction.
Robin remained hidden in the crowd, unaffected by the frenzied atmosphere. She calmly watched Yang Ming's figure recede into the distance, observing the genuine emotions of the people around her. A thought couldn't help but cross her mind:
"This Governor of the Western Sea is not only powerful, but also incredibly resourceful. What's even more remarkable is that he possesses such shrewdness and composure at such a young age. I'm afraid this sea is about to undergo a dramatic change!"
Learn from history to understand rise and fall, and learn from others to understand gains and losses.
As the sole survivor of the Ohara incident, Robin is well-versed in eight hundred years of history. Coupled with her years of wandering and hardship since childhood, she has developed a keen eye that allows her to discern what kind of people others are.
Robin saw the shadows of many people in Yang Ming.
In Robin's view, he was a rather complex person, with a pursuit of justice, but also a mindset that ordinary naval commanders did not have. He did not mind using some dirty means to achieve his goals.
With her delicate hand resting on her hat, pulling the brim down, Robin's figure gradually disappeared into the crowd.
"The tide of the new era is rolling in; who will have the last laugh?"
Chapter 205 If you are trapped in a windless land, I will play the song of the heavens.
Former pirate admiral Shiki the Golden Lion has recently been killed by Commodore Yang Ming, the governor of the West Blue.
"Ugh!"
The Warring States Marshal put down the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Why does the Marshal look so gloomy?
Across from his desk, Admiral Borsalino, with his legs crossed, held a plate in one hand and a teacup in the other. After taking a sip of black coffee, he continued:
"As a leading figure among the younger generation of the Navy, I have witnessed Yang Ming's performance over the years. Whether it is his style of conduct or his way of dealing with people, he has inherited the mantle of his predecessors Garp and Zephyr. Now that he has personally killed Shiki the Golden Lion, if he were to take over as the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, I would be able to retire in peace and enjoy my old age. Perhaps I would even have time to grow flowers and plants to cultivate my mind."
Upon hearing this, the Warring States Marshal rolled his eyes.
