Chapter 69

"Who could it be?"

Plague Quinn pinched his little mustache, stared at the figure in the high sky standing shoulder to shoulder with Boss Kaido, and said in confusion:

"That person's aura feels somewhat familiar, yet somewhat unfamiliar."

Flame Disaster King's Observation Haki was above Quinn's, and his eyesight also surpassed Quinn's. He said in a deep voice:

"．‖Because that is the fusion of Young Master Luo Xing and Young Master Yamato, which is why you feel both familiar and unfamiliar."

Luo Xing had long been recognized by Kaido as his successor, so within the Beasts Pirates, many people had switched to calling him Young Master Luo Xing.

Quinn and Jack were both shocked, and then clicked their tongues in amazement.

Young Master Luo Xing and Young Master Yamato truly live up to being husband and wife—the strength of their fusion far surpasses the two of them.

Not to mention how shocked the people below were.

Only speaking of Golden Lion, who had been sent flying, sustaining injuries once again.

After these several rounds of combat, the injuries he had sustained had already reached a serious degree.

But Golden Lion still paid no heed, instead growing even more frenzied!

"I'm the man who's going to rule the world!"

"Death to all who stand in my way!"

"Everyone who blocks my path ahead must die!"

Golden Lion's face was ferocious, and he suddenly flew above the Floating Island.

He drove the power of the Float-Float Fruit to its extreme, and the entire island actually began to crumble.

Rumble rumble!

Boulders collapsed, trees toppled, and the wild beasts still remaining on the island fled in terror in all directions.

Then with a loud crack, the entire Floating Island completely disintegrated.

Golden Lion condensed all the rubble of the disintegrated island together, actually forming a sky-covering giant lion!

"Lion Majesty: Earth Roll!"

Golden Lion laughed wildly.

The giant lion simultaneously let out a deafening roar!

Luo Xing's expression also turned solemn: "This is Golden Lion's final strike!"

Kaido's Azure Dragon form suddenly shrank, transforming into his strongest Dragonman form, gripping his spiked club and grinning as he said:

"Since Rocks and Luo Jie, another legendary great pirate is about to fall!"

Luo Xing nodded slightly.

Although Golden Lion was powerful, facing the combined forces of him and father-in-law Kaido after fusion, there was no possibility of victory.

On this stretch of sea, there was yet to be a strongman who could simultaneously defeat two of the Four Emperors' generals.

Golden Lion was destined to be defeated!

"Then let's give him a perfect curtain call!"

Luo Xing took a deep breath, and Advanced Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki manifested simultaneously, among which, naturally, was also Yamato's portion.

The Enma in his right hand continuously devoured Haki, while the spiked club in his left hand was wrapped in purple arcs of electricity.

Kaido's gaze swept over:

"Using Enma and Yamato's spiked club to simultaneously unleash two Conqueror's-Haki-infused Thunder Baguas—what a bold idea, and only a fused person could pull it off."

"In that case, then let's add my Thunder Bagua to the mix!"

Crackle crackle!

Kaido's spiked club was also wrapped in Conqueror's Haki and purple arcs of electricity.

Three Conqueror's-Haki-infused Thunder Baguas were enough to shatter every strong person in the world!

As expected, before such an attack, the giant lion Golden Lion had created with all his might was instantly shattered.

The three Conqueror's-Haki-infused Thunder Baguas lost none of their momentum, solidly blasting into Golden Lion's body!

Golden Lion's eyes were wide open, as if unable to believe he had been defeated just like that.

Life was rapidly fading, the power of the Float-Float Fruit failed, and Golden Lion's body plummeted at extreme speed, falling into the sea.

The waves of the sea were his final funeral.

A generation's legend, Golden Lion, thus took his curtain call!.

In the Dressrosa incident, the big newsmaker Morgans had participated.

At the time, he had not entered the Doupaimai Society venue, but had instead hidden far away in the high sky to watch.

The news reports that later Spread Across the World were basically all from his hand.

Since then, Morgans had been paying extremely close attention to the movements of the Beasts Pirates.

He believed that since the Beasts Pirates had killed Doflamingo with thunderous means and occupied Dressrosa, they would surely make more big moves in the future.

He wanted to obtain first-hand news!

Morgans certainly did not dare to enter the Border of the Kingdom, but in the surrounding sky and sea areas, he still dared to arrange a few observation albatrosses.

Therefore.

When Golden Lion's Flying Pirates descended upon the Border of the Kingdom from the sky.

Everyone else in the entire world was unaware, but Morgans alone obtained this news.

Morgans was overjoyed.

One is a legendary great pirate on par with Luo Jie and Bai Huzi!

The other is the Beasts Pirates, which has been growing increasingly powerful recently and has continuously produced heaven-defying inventions!

When these two collide, who will win and who will lose?

It's simply too thrilling, too tantalizing!

This absolutely explosive exclusive news would let him sell several billion more copies of the newspaper without any problem at all!

And so,

On the day the report appeared, after the Dressrosa incident, the entire world once again plunged into a tremendous uproar!

"The Flying Pirates invade Wano Country and battle the Beasts Pirates!"

"The legendary Great Pirate Golden Lion died on the spot!"

"Besides Kaidou of the Beasts, the one who killed the Golden Lion is suspected to be another Emperor-level powerhouse!"

"All 490 members of the entire Flying Pirates were killed by the Beasts crew!"

Looking at these headlines in the newspaper, the people of the world were stunned into silence, Unable for a Long Time to recover.

……

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Sengoku, Garp, and the three Admirals had all gathered in the office.

Sengoku's brows furrowed into a "川" shape, and he slapped the newspaper on the desk, saying:

"I never expected that fellow Golden Lion would actually show up, and even go attack Kaidou of the Beasts."

Ever since the Golden Lion escaped from Impel Down many years ago, the man had vanished without a trace, and neither the Marines nor the World Government could track down his whereabouts.

"What's even more unexpected is that the Golden Lion Shi Ji actually died just like that!"

Sengoku's tone was filled with thick disbelief and shock.

As one who had once fought the Golden Lion, he knew full well how powerful the latter was.

At the time, if he had not joined forces with Garp, he really could not have guaranteed defeating the Golden Lion; even if he could defeat him, he could not have held the man.

The Marine hero, Garp, who implicitly bore the title of the Marine's strongest fighter, said with an equally stunned face:

"The Golden Lion and Kaidou of the Beasts were both once on Rocks's ship. The two had long-standing grudges, so them attacking and killing each other is not strange. But for the Golden Lion to simply die in battle is truly too unexpected for this old man!"

By all rights, with the Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit ability, even if he could not beat Kaidou, escaping would not have been any problem at all.

Huang Yuan Borsalino, who was crossing his legs and trimming his fingernails, raised his eyelids and said:

"Wasn't there another Emperor-level powerhouse said to be there at the time? Kaidou of the Beasts joining forces with him to kill the Golden Lion wouldn't be strange."

"What other Emperor-level powerhouse!" Akainu Sakazuki snorted coldly. "It's nothing more than the news exaggerating!"

Akainu had been played for a fool by the Drought Jack last time, and had not even the slightest good feeling toward the Beasts crew.

Aokiji Kuzan said:

"There is still a certain degree of credibility, otherwise the Golden Lion could not have died in battle. The question is who exactly is that extra powerhouse. Could it be the Emperor Big Mom Xia Luote·Lingling?"

Big Mom had also once been a member of Rocks's crew, and she did not get along with the Golden Lion either. Her colluding with Kaidou to plot against the Golden Lion was still a possibility.
