Navigation: Healing Warlock, top-tier healer for Whitebeard

Rumble~~~

The original structure of the soil and rocks was destroyed, turning into granular state, and then reformed into more than a dozen huge lion heads with a width of more than fifty meters.

"Ho~~~"

These lion heads can actually mimic a thunderous lion's roar!

"This……"

Most of the Straw Hat crew members were already pale-faced, with fear in their eyes.

"Rubber, rubber~"

"Siege Cannon!!"

Straw Hat Luffy launched his arms wildly, aiming to smash into the head of a lion.

His physical strength was already astonishing, and with the added power accumulated by the elasticity of the rubber, this strike directly shattered the castle-like lion's head!

At the same time Luffy took action.

Sanji and Zoro also joined forces and launched an attack directly at Shiki, who was floating in the sky.

They understand the principle of "capture the king first to catch the thief."

Zoro, holding a sword in each hand and a sword in his mouth, jumped onto one of Sanji's legs and stood there.

Using Sanji's leg strength and his own jumping ability, he dashed towards Shiki high in the sky.

"Three Swords Style: Purgatory Demon Slash!!"

The Golden Lion chuckled as he watched Zoro charge into the sky, swordsmanship aimed at him, and kicked out!

"boom!!"

The Golden Lion's Haki is recovering, and in order to hone his Haki, he will prioritize Haki-based attacks when launching attacks.

His kick transformed his Ryuo Haki into sword energy, striking Zoro directly!

"Wow!"

Zoro hadn't developed Observation Haki, so he couldn't "see" the Ryuo Haki, but he only felt a surge of energy hitting him when he was still a few meters away from Shiki.

Instantly, it felt as if all the bones in his body were about to be shattered!

His internal organs were ruptured, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before flying backward toward the ground!

boom! !

Zoro crashed into the ground! He returned to the Straw Hat crew.

"Green algae head!"

Sanji was shocked to see this.

"I kindly invited you, but you didn't give me any face."

"This is truly a case of refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

The golden lion, beaming with pride, raised his hand to give orders once more.

Instantly, more than a dozen giant lion heads rushed towards the Straw Hat crew!

The Lion's Roar he unleashed at this moment was a full-scale attack, and its targets included the two beauties that Loa had specifically requested: Nami and Robin.

Extremely fast! Fiercely powerful!

They showed absolutely no mercy!

Straw Hat Luffy was in a frenzied state, roaring and wildly attacking.

Franky also used the Wind Cannon.

Sanji kicked a lion's head repeatedly.

Brook stabbed wildly with his sword.

But all their resistance was in vain; they were like ants trying to shake a tree in the face of the overwhelming onslaught of behemoths!

The next moment.

The entire Straw Hat crew was then swallowed up by Shiki's Lion's Might!

Rumble~~~

The murky soil and pebbles swirled across the earth like a terrifying tornado, engulfing the Straw Hat crew.

After a few breaths.

The massive torrent formed by the convergence of mud and pebbles, under the control of the Golden Lion, twisted into a spiral pillar of earth and stone!

This giant pillar of earth and stone is over ten meters thick and over a hundred meters high!

Upon closer inspection, one can see that only the heads of the Straw Hat crew are sticking out, while their bodies are all stuck in the giant pillars of earth and stone.

As for the civilians who were previously dragged in?

The Golden Lion didn't care about the lives of those people, and those civilians were very fragile. They had probably already been torn apart by the torrent, turned into blood and flesh, and mixed into the soil and rocks!

The few people who once lingered on this ordinary street had long since fled and left the place deserted.

"Capture complete!"

"Jie hahahahaha!!!"

The golden lion laughed triumphantly.

boo~

A faint sound of a bubble bursting could be heard in the air.

"Ok?"

If it were the Golden Lion who had previously lost his Observation Haki, it might be even harder to spot him.

Although the Golden Lion had not yet fully returned to its peak strength, its Observation Haki was enough to detect the anomaly in these subtle movements.

boo~

The sound of bubbles bursting rang out once again.

The golden lion's eyes suddenly narrowed!

"who!!"

He glared angrily and roared, drawing the Sakura Toki and Kureha twin swords from his waist with lightning speed.

He twisted his body and slashed his twin swords in an X-shaped cross motion behind him!

Slash the wave!!

Two enormous sword energies, hundreds of meters long, stretched across the field!

It spun and cleaved through the air in an X shape!

"Bounced away!"

A clear, low voice.

A massive figure appeared in the air, like a phantom bubble.

Tyrant Bear, with a pair of 990-padded bear paws, held flat in front of him.

Whoosh!

The enormous and ferocious sword energy, upon contact with the pair of huge bear paw pads, immediately transformed into chaotic and scattered sword energy, rebounding in all directions!

Many others returned the way they came and shot towards the golden lion.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Bartholomew Kuma?!"

Golden Lion swung his sword, deflecting the small sword energy that was shot at him. He glared and shouted out the identity of the newcomer.

Clearly, the reason for launching a sneak attack on Shiki at this time is most likely to save Luffy and his crew!

'Loya didn't mention this person to me.'

'Wait a minute, Loya doesn't know everything, does he?'

Loya concealed his true abilities and deliberately did not reveal to the Golden Lion the information that Bartholomew was a revolutionary.

If Loya tells Golden Lion all sorts of information, then his intelligence-gathering abilities are simply too incredible.

Only by deliberately omitting some in-depth information can the Golden Lion gradually lower its guard.

"You're here to rescue the Straw Hat crew, right? Then, who's on your orders?"

"Marine hero Garp? Revolutionary Army leader Dragon? Or Red-Haired Shanks?"

The golden lion raises its sword and points it at the Bartholomew bear.

The Tyrant Bear was able to float in mid-air using the bubbles created by its paws!

'He easily deflected my Golden Lion's wave-slashing sword energy, and even managed to stay airborne thanks to his ability~'

'Has his Devil Fruit power awakened?'

Golden Lion squinted at his opponent, and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the great sword in his hands.
