Cloud seas, lakes, sandstones, mist... all seemed to be summoned, either boiling violently or rising into the air, congealing into countless giant lions, all clad in the most intense Armament Haki.
"Mystic Skill: Lion's Roar Celestial Conquest!"
Roar!!!
The innumerable black-colored furious lions simultaneously raised their heads and roared, and amidst the earth-shattering lion roars, they charged forth in unison.
They shattered the void with their steps, devouring even light in their path, causing the entire massive Floating Island to emit a heavy, burdened groan.
And that's not all!
The Golden Lion gripped his swords with both hands, pouring all his power, along with the Supreme King Black-Red Lightning entwining around him, fiercely into the Dual Blades. Oto and Kogarashi instantly emitted dazzling golden light.
"Dual-Sword Style: Lion's Roar of the Thousand Worlds!"
Swish!
A golden slash spanning heaven and earth erupted suddenly, following closely behind the mighty lion horde, advancing straight towards Shano, twisting space in its path, shattering the cloud layers, as if to split the entire world into two!
"Finally feeling it..."
Shano gazed silently.
That aura belonging to a legend...
"As a respect to your last momentum, I'll go all out as well."
He sheathed the Tachi Masamune.
Then.
With a grin, he solemnly extended his right fist and clenched it tightly.
Boom!!!
An intense cross-shaped black-red lightning burst from Shano's right fist.
The Supreme King Haki and Armament Haki, terrifying to the extreme, perfectly merged in that instant, forming a spiraling storm of destruction at his fist's edge!
The clouds across the night sky were stirred by this aura, scattering outward in the night, reflecting the resplendent and boundless galaxy.
"This move, is a new ultimate technique I developed recently by combining Garp's Galaxy Impact with my own Fist Technique."
Shano lifted his head, speaking in a deep voice, "Golden Lion, you are the first to witness this move, and you are worthy."
He knew nothing about Swordsmanship, thus from what he took from Red Hair's Kamusari, he could only imitate it without altering a bit.
But Fist Technique... is different!
From the small Orange Garden, he had practiced countless Fist Techniques since childhood, endured countless hardships and sweat, ground countless calluses, biting through step by step to reach today.
He is, in this world, truly on par with Garp as a master in Fist Technique, a true grandmaster!
Thus, the Galaxy Impact can be improved at will, blending with other fist techniques to complement each other, transforming it into a brand-new move that better suits himself, capable of unleashing its full power!
Its name is...
"Galaxy——"
With Shano's low roar, his right arm's muscles swelled to the limit, veins bulged like dragons, and the already fragmented ground beneath him collapsed entirely, the cobweb-like massive cracks spreading layer upon layer, even extending instantly to the edge of the entire Floating Island.
"Upside-down!"
——Rumble!!!
The moment he swung his fist, time seemed to halt for an instant.
Immediately, a black-red light pillar over a hundred meters in diameter pierced through heavens and earth, causing the space it passed through to shatter as if like a mirror.
The Armament Haki giant lions charging forth vaporized upon contact with the light pillar, leaving not even a trace of residue.
The subsequent golden slash, on the other hand, held out for a moment but only just that.
Within a mere few seconds, the golden Sword Qi crumbled segment by segment, while the massive black-red light pillar, nearly undiminished in power, engulfed the Golden Lion who was roaring with arms spread wide.
"Master Shiki!!!"
Indigo cried out mournfully, tears streaming down his face.
In the distance, many subordinates who had already fled to the edge of the battlefield turned back to see this scene, their bodies trembling, some covering their faces in tears, others crying out loudly.
The dust settled after a long time.
Golden Lion's tattered body now lay quietly at the bottom of a crater over a hundred meters deep.
His arms had completely vanished, and from his chest to his waist, there was a horrifying penetrating wound exposing the earth beneath.
Yet on his lips was a relieved smile.
Seventeen years...
Seventeen years of running and planning for revenge, those ridiculous so-called seventeen years...
It's all over.
And he's finally freed.
The old era must come to an end, and where the tides of the new era will lead, he didn't know, but there's no doubt that the name shining highest in the waves currently is called Shano...
Or perhaps this entire era in the future, will also be named Shano!
To die by this guy's hands...
Is not too shabby!
"Hehahaha, Roger... finally, I can come see you..."
With a final whisper, this legend of the old era passed away with eyes wide open, looking upward with laughter, his body gradually stiffening, silent.
Thud.
Oto and Kogarashi, inserted at the pit's bottom, suddenly seemed to have reached their limit, breaking at the waist simultaneously, gently falling to the ground.
