"God Slash!!!"
He held his blade with one hand.
Infusing a large amount of Haki power into the blade, he then slashed fiercely at Shiki.
"El!!!"
Shiki roared and then held his two blades, engaging in a sword fight with El once again.
His swordsmanship and Haki were inherently inferior to El's, and he had just been injured by a lightning cannon strike.
Under El's continuous slashes, Shiki was forced to retreat step by step, unable to resist.
"Swish!!!"
El quickly found an opening in Shiki's defense and slashed horizontally.
Due to the extreme speed of his sword, Shiki had no time to resist with his blade.
He quickly wrapped a layer of Armament Haki around his body at the critical moment.
"Sizzle..."
Blood sprayed from Shiki's abdomen, and he was sent flying backward for a hundred meters.
El's slash contained both his swordsmanship mastery and the power of Armament and Conqueror's Haki!
Even though Shiki's abdomen was covered with Armament Haki for defense.
This slash still broke through Shiki's defense and dealt him a heavy blow.
The intense pain contorted Shiki's face.
"Golden Lion Shiki!!!"
"What kind of monster is this guy El? His abilities are terrifying enough, but his swordsmanship is also superior to Golden Lion Shiki's!"
"Damn it, Shiki was heavily injured by El after such a short fight. If this continues, he'll be defeated!"
"Is the gap in strength between Golden Lion Shiki and El really this large?"
The many pirates fighting on the warships looked at the scene in the sky with terror.
The battle had only lasted for a short while, and Shiki had already been heavily injured by El.
On the other hand, El was completely unharmed.
The two were clearly not on the same level!
Although they knew El's bounty was extremely high.
Shiki was also not weak! Both were great pirates in the New World.
Even if there was a gap in strength, such a large difference was something they had never expected!
Rayleigh glanced at El in the sky with some surprise and said sternly, "El's strength has probably... already surpassed Roger's!"
Although Roger would become the Pirate King in the future, his strength was actually not much greater than Shiki's.
If El could so easily heavily injure Shiki, then he could naturally do the same to Roger!
Gaban beside him suddenly thought of something, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"I believe what El said back in Dressrosa now. This guy might really have killed three Gorosei at the Holy Land Mary Geoise!!!"
Initially.
In the Kingdom of Dressrosa, El had claimed to have killed three Gorosei at the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Gaban naturally did not believe such claims.
After all, they had learned from the Poneglyphs how terrifying the Gorosei's strength was!
But now, having witnessed El's battle with Shiki with his own eyes.
This made Gaban begin to believe El's words!
...
In the sky, Shiki clutched his abdominal wound with a ferocious expression, blood continuously flowing out.
"It's ending, Shiki."
El approached Shiki step by step, holding his blade, and said.
Although the battle between them had only just begun, Shiki had already been injured twice by him.
His combat power had been greatly weakened, and Shiki could no longer last long against him.
Shiki's ferocious face twisted slightly, and a smile crept onto his lips. He suddenly spoke, "Indeed, it's ending!"
The moment he finished speaking, a lion head formed from seawater directly swallowed El.
The lion head that Shiki had previously released had been completely destroyed by El's Wood Dragon.
But... during the sword fight with El.
He had also secretly attempted to manipulate seawater, condensing it into lion heads.
Now, he had found an opportunity, and the seawater successfully engulfed El completely!
"Hahahaha... El, you are indeed strong, but as a Devil Fruit user, once you are contaminated by seawater, no matter how strong you are, you won't be able to break free!"
Shiki laughed heartily upon seeing El completely engulfed by the seawater.
Not long after the battle began, Shiki knew he was no match for El.
To defeat a monster like El, he had to find his weakness.
In his opinion, El's only weakness was his fear of seawater!
But before Shiki could celebrate for long.
A voice reached his ears.
"This move is useless, Shiki."
As the words fell.
El calmly drew his blade and cut through a lion head formed from seawater, walking out from within.
He had already warned Shiki before the battle started.
He was not a Devil Fruit user, but Shiki did not believe him.
He thought that tools like seawater could defeat him.
Seeing El emerge from the seawater completely unharmed.
Shiki's pupils contracted violently, and he said with disbelief.
"How... How is this possible!!!"
Shiki had lived for so long, yet he had never seen a Devil Fruit user who was not afraid of seawater!
Even if some special Devil Fruits could negate the effects of seawater.
But being completely engulfed by seawater.
It was impossible for anyone to break free without external help.
This was basic common sense in this world, but today... the common sense Shiki had understood was shattered.
Because he had personally witnessed El emerge from the seawater without any fear!
Shiki questioned with an extremely solemn expression, "What Devil Fruit do you have, El!"
From shortly after El joined the ship, Shiki had been very interested in El's Devil Fruit ability.
But El had never revealed any information about it.
Only now did Shiki understand how terrifying El's Devil Fruit was.
Not only did it possess extremely terrifying destructive power, but more importantly, it had no weaknesses!
"I don't need to explain this to you, Shiki."
"You bastard!!!"
Cold sweat broke out on Shiki's forehead, and a desire to retreat arose in his heart.
Because in terms of swordsmanship, Haki, and abilities, he was inferior to El.
Now, he had also discovered that seawater was ineffective against El.
Facing such a man, Shiki knew he had no chance of winning.
"Shiki, let me help you!!!"
At the same time, a voice came from behind El. King was seen rapidly approaching El.
Kaido could naturally see that Shiki was struggling alone against El.
So he sent King to assist him.
King moved at high speed in the sky, then directly took out the firearm loaded with Seastone bullets from his waist and aimed it at El.
"Bang!!!"
As he pulled the trigger, the bullet flew out rapidly and hit El.
However, the power of this bullet was completely insufficient against El's physical body.
Let alone penetrating El's body, it didn't even leave a dent.
"King?"
El slightly turned his head and glanced at King calmly.
King's strength was indeed not weak, as he would become the leader of the Three Disasters in the future, second only to Kaido.
However, such strength was still far from enough in front of El.
After all, even a man like Shiki was no match for him.
