Pirate: I'm an admiral now, what's wrong with taking a little extra money?

Advanced stage: Sensing the thoughts and emotions of others, influencing and changing their consciousness. (However, only Queen Otohime and Earl Redfield have demonstrated this ability so far.) Roger's ability to hear the voice of all things also falls into this category.

Armament Haki

Basic Stage (Hardening): Haki covers the body, enhancing offense and defense, and allowing the user to touch the physical form of Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

Intermediate Stage (External Release): Haki can be applied to the body or weapons, and can be released after being gathered, such as when Haki is added to a slash.

Advanced Stage (Flowing Sakura): A high-level technique that allows Haki to penetrate the surface of objects and directly destroy their interior.

Conqueror's Haki

Basic stage (unconscious outburst): An unconscious outburst caused by emotional excitement, which can stun the weak around them and make them unable to control the target.

Intermediate Stage (Free Control): Free control over power and range of influence. As one's own aura increases, so does the range and pressure. (Personally, I think Shanks' 'Observation Kill' also belongs to this stage, but Shanks' aura is just too strong.)

Advanced Stage (Conqueror's Haki Entanglement): Allows the user to wrap Conqueror's Haki around their attacks, enabling them to strike from a distance and generate tremendous destructive power.

These are all my purely subjective thoughts, and I will write them into the novel. I'm sure my godfathers will have different opinions, so please forgive me.

Chapter 47 Give it to me... and insert it!

"My...my fleet..."

Shiki the Golden Lion's mind went blank as he stared blankly at that hell on earth.

That invincible fleet, which had consumed decades of his efforts and was supposed to help him conquer the world, was torn to shreds in just a few dozen seconds by that unreasonable super storm.

That was the foundation of his empire!

"Aaaaaaahh ...

An uncontrollable frenzy surged from the depths of his heart, and the golden lion's eyes instantly became bloodshot, his golden hair stood on end, and his terrifying domineering aura went out of control, erupting wildly in all directions!

"Unforgivable...Unforgivable!!"

"Navy brat!! I'll take your life!!"

He abandoned the attempt to save the fleet, and went completely mad, transforming into a golden streak of light that tore through the sky, plunging headlong into the still raging storm circle!

With the power of the Float-Float Fruit, he was confident that he could move freely in any complex aerial environment.

However, when he actually rushed into this chaotic realm created by Kane, he was horrified to discover how wrong he had been.

To the east, there was an upward hurricane; to the west, downward air pressure; overhead, sweeping turbulence; and beneath, tearing vortexes.

His prized Float-Float Fruit ability became extremely difficult to control at this moment.

He could float, but he couldn't counteract the insane power emanating from the entire atmosphere!

It felt like I had fallen into a centrifuge that was running at high speed with no blind spots.

Even maintaining their balance was extremely difficult; they were blown about in the strong wind, swaying and tumbling about in a sorry state.

This is Kane's absolute home ground!

"Damn it! What kind of power is this?!"

The golden lion roared and swung its famous swords "Sakura Ju" and "Kokuro" to counterattack.

But in that raging airflow, even maintaining an upright posture became a luxury for him.

The powerful slash that was originally enough to slice through an island became crooked and distorted due to the body's severe imbalance.

The moment the golden sword energy left the blade, it was mercilessly torn apart by the raging turbulence around it, instantly shattering into specks of golden light that dissipated in the downpour. It was impossible for it to coalesce into a solid shape, let alone open up a path!

At the eye of the storm, there is absolute calm.

Kane hovered there, sitting cross-legged.

His eyes shone with an eerie blue light, half of his body had transformed into a raging storm and lightning, and his face was covered with strange blue patterns, like porcelain about to shatter.

This is a sign that the Devil Fruit's power has been pushed to its limit, and physical strength and vitality are being overdrawn.

Kane watched the golden streak of light rampaging through the storm, a twisted grin spreading across his face.

time is limited.

Kane was highly focused, meticulously controlling every wisp of air in the storm.

My gaze pierced through the layers of rain, precisely locking onto an object that was fluttering erratically in the air.

A broken rudder from a pirate ship.

"You are the one."

Kane's voice was hoarse and dry.

"Get the hell over here!"

He extended his right hand and clenched his fist in the air!

An invisible wind, like a nimble tentacle, entangled the rudder that was churning in the storm.

aim!

accelerate!

Kane frantically injected the last bit of compressed air pressure he could muster!

Within the storm, a colossal wave, deliberately amplified by Kane, slammed into the Golden Lion like a collapsing mountain!

"puff!"

Caught off guard, the golden lion was struck by the immense force, causing its blood and qi to surge and its body to briefly lose its balance in mid-air.

In a battle between masters, a single moment is enough!

"Vacuum Prison!"

Kane growled.

Om-!

The air within a hundred meters of the golden lion was instantly sucked out!

An extreme feeling of suffocation and weightlessness washed over him simultaneously, and his mind went completely blank. Even more fatally, he lost all perception of sound and airflow!

"Oh no!" Alarm bells rang in the Golden Lion's mind.

It's now!

"Go."

Kane's eyes remained unwavering, but his fingers clenched tightly!

call out--!!!

The wooden rudder, enveloped by extreme wind pressure, broke the sound barrier, shooting out as an elusive black streak with a piercing shriek that tore at the eardrums!

Golden Lion's battle-hardened Observation Haki had already detected the trajectory of death, but his imbalance and the vacuum environment made it impossible for him to make any effective evasive maneuvers!

He could only watch helplessly as the dark figure rapidly enlarged in his pupils!

Kane, with his last ounce of strength, roared:

"Get it in... for me!!"

"Do not--"

*Pfft!*

A sickening, dull thud rang out.

The rapidly spinning ship's rudder pierced through Shiki the Golden Lion's head deeply and fiercely from the very center!

"Ughhhhhhh!!!"

The golden lion's body suddenly stiffened, and its forward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

His eyes bulged out and were bloodshot. He raised his hand in disbelief and touched the top of his head.

What I felt through my fingertips was warm, viscous brain matter and blood, and... the cold, hard texture of wood.

This blow was deeper, more precise, and possessed a more absurd yet perfectly symmetrical beauty than the image in the newspaper Kane remembered.

"Jehovah... Aa ...

A bloodcurdling scream erupted from the golden lion's mouth.

The intense pain was unbearable even for his battle-hardened body.

Dominance, will, and strength crumbled in that instant.

His consciousness was rapidly fading, and the world before him began to spin.

In a blur, he saw that the young navy boy had appeared in front of him at some point, with a genuine smile on his face.

"Senior Shiki."

The brat's voice clearly reached his last moments of consciousness.

"Your era has ended."

boom!

Shiki the Golden Lion, a man who stood at the pinnacle of the sea alongside Roger and Whitebeard, could no longer maintain his ability to fly and plummeted straight down from the sky.

He crashed into the cold graveyard below, composed of the wreckage of his own fleet.

A maritime hegemon of his generation.

Thus, their fighting strength collapsed.

The legend has come to an end.

Chapter 48: A Narrow Escape from Divine Avoidance!

The Golden Lion was seriously injured and fell into the sea; his fate is unknown.

His once invincible fleet, which had aspired to conquer the world, has now been reduced to countless burning and twisted steel wrecks on the seabed.

"puff--!"

Kane staggered down from the air, his feet landing heavily on a huge floating ship plank.
