One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

After hearing what Karin Sei said, the Golden Lion grinned.

"Hehehe~~~ You scared the hell out of me! I thought they were coming to steal my treasure? Turns out they're here to kill me. I'm relieved now."

"......"

The Knights of God exchanged glances, all thinking the same thing: could this sleazy-looking man be an idiot?

"Hehehehehehe~~~" Garin suddenly couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh loudly. "Still a brain-damaged insect, but have you ever thought that if I kill you, the treasure will be mine too?"

"Oh, is that so? Rocks, you'll help me stop this idiot, won't you!" the Golden Lion raised his voice.

The moment the name "Lox" was uttered, the smile on Garin's face vanished instantly.

He glanced around timidly, but did not find Locke.

Could it be... in the back?

Garin Saint stiffly twisted his neck and slowly looked back; the Knights of God also looked back.

But behind it, there was only ruins; there was no sign of Lox.

Garin's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly turned his head back.

This time, his face instantly turned ferocious.

Where the golden lion had stood, there was no trace of him.

"Damn insects, damn insects!"

Enraged at being tricked, Garin drew his rapier and immediately gave chase to the golden lion flying rapidly through the air.

The other members of the Knights of God quickly followed.

"You insect, I will not forgive you!" Garin shouted angrily at the golden lion in mid-air.

The golden lion, hovering in mid-air, tilted its head slightly and glanced at Garin and his group who were chasing below. After grinning, it cursed at Ron with the same words he had used to insult it: "Idiot."

Indeed, Shiki is not Garp. Fighting like this, which is meaningless and has no benefit, is purely high-risk and has zero reward. Only a fool would do it.

"Swish swish swish~~"

As Garin Sei ran, he swung his rapier, and several sword energies instantly flew upwards, rapidly heading towards the golden lion in mid-air.

The golden lion dodged the attack with a slight movement.

"Insect, is all you can do is run away?!" Garin roared.

Upon hearing this, the golden lion immediately slowed down, then turned around and flew backwards.

Garin Sei was overjoyed, never expecting his provocation to go so smoothly.

Soon, Garin Saint closed the distance to the Golden Lion.

In an instant, Garin Sei leaped into the air, his domineering aura swirling around his blade, and roared with a ferocious expression, "Insects, die!"

But in that instant, the Golden Lion suddenly accelerated, widening the distance between himself and Garin.

Garin's gaze darkened, and he swung his sword several times, streaks of sword energy grazing past the Golden Lion.

"Looks like I misjudged you, you insect. I thought you had the guts to fight me?" Garin continued his pursuit, further enraging the Golden Lion.

Golden Lion slowed down again, and when Garin Seiichi got close, he suddenly accelerated desperately, creating some distance between them.

This situation repeated itself several times until Karin suddenly realized that Shiki was... treating him like a dog.

"I'll chop you into mincemeat, you worm!" Garin roared, instantly gritting his teeth and sprinting forward at a speed far greater than before.

"Hehehe~~~ I get it, Ron, that's why you can sometimes make people so angry with just a few light words." The Golden Lion muttered excitedly.

"Whoosh~"

But suddenly, at that moment, Shiki's Observation Haki sensed danger, and he immediately turned around, even though he was flying backwards.

"Sizzle~"

A sharp, piercing sound of a sword rang out, and in the next instant, the Golden Lion immediately raised his weapon to block the attack.

With a "clang,"

Centered on them, the circular shockwave ripples instantly spread in all directions.

Golden Lion looked at the man in front of him who was dressed similarly to Garin Sei, and was about to say something with a smile.

Suddenly, a figure swung a rapier down from mid-air, higher than the Golden Lion.

"Run, you insect! Keep running if you dare!"

As soon as Garin Saint spoke, the Golden Lion instantly exerted his power, forcefully sending the God Knight member who had ambushed him flying.

In an instant, he swiftly defended against Garin's attack.

"Bang!"

The two different weapons collided, and the huge impact instantly slammed the golden lion to the ground.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the ground instantly caved in, and billowing dust shot into the sky.

In the pit.

Garin's angry voice rang out again.

"Aren't you usually so cheerful? Why aren't you smiling anymore?"

"Hehehe~~~"

As Garin had hoped, the Golden Lion laughed again, saying disdainfully, "Take a look at what's stuck in your abdomen, you idiot."

Garin paused, then subconsciously looked down and discovered that a long knife had pierced through his abdomen.

"When???" Garin Sei's face darkened.

But it was precisely during this moment of relaxation that Shiki, with Armament Haki wrapped around his hand, grabbed Karin's neck.

"You love to yell, you bastard," the Golden Lion mocked.

Just as Garin Seigang was about to struggle, the Golden Lion suddenly exerted force and warned, "Behave yourself and take me to where you keep your treasure, or I'll crush your neck."

As soon as he finished speaking, Garin's lips curled up exaggeratedly, and then, Golden Lion was dumbfounded.

With a sharp crack, Garin Sheng's head was ripped off by himself.

Golden Lion: "????"

While the Golden Lion was still processing the scene before him, Garin's body from the head down had already begun to move.

The headless torso leaned forward, and the domineering hand reached out with incredible speed toward the golden lion's chest.

In the blink of an eye, that hand had already touched the golden lion's chest.

"You're dead, you insect."

A triumphant smile appeared on Garin's head.

"boom!"

The next instant, a shockwave exploded in the Golden Lion's abdomen, shattering almost all of his clothes into countless tiny fragments.

The good news is that with the double defense of the chakra cloak and Haki, Golden Lion only felt a little pain.

The bad news is that the amulet that the brat gave us... was also shattered into pieces by the impact.
