Chapter 40: The worst that can happen is death

Under Sengoku's orders, several warships headed to the sea to prevent the Moby Dick from landing on the island using a naval battle mode.

On the island, the vice admirals and officers of the Flying Pirates at the front line waged a fierce battle.

Hey, hey, hey.

The one hundred men led by Arthur looked for cover and fired frantically at the enemy forces.

The two sides were fighting fiercely, which made Cooper so excited that he wanted to rush forward.

He was immediately stopped by Arthur, pulled back and waited.

"Don't go there, Cooper, stay with me." Arthur fired his gun and cursed.

He stood behind a solidified lava rock, using it as a shelter.

Almost every bullet will knock down a pirate.

It was soon observed that the aura of about ten guys in the Flying Pirates was at the level of Apollo on Lionheart Island.

It is roughly speculated that they are all remnants of the Rocks Pirates who have joined Golden Lion.

"It's no big deal if I die. Charge!" Arthur waved his arms towards the team behind him. Wearing the justice cloak of a major in his unit, he led a hundred soldiers to charge forward amidst the hail of bullets.

Zhan Guo himself was commanding the army and had not yet entered the island to join the battle.

Golden Lion Sky stood in the sky and talked with Whitebeard on the Moby Dick in the distance.

"We didn't support Rocks at the beginning. You should understand that, Whitebeard!" The voice of the Golden Lion spread over the whole island: "If we hadn't fought among ourselves and used all our strength, not to mention the Celestial Dragons, even this world wouldn't have been able to stop us!"

"Gulala~" Whitebeard was on the sea a hundred meters away, with the aura of power that could cause earthquakes still condensed on his fist: "I still have a group of sons to raise, so I reject you, Shiki!"

"A bunch of little brats are more important than conquering the world? Edward Newgate?" Golden Lion was surprised to hear such words coming from Whitebeard's mouth.

I suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of disappointment. Was it because he had such great power, but was only thinking about building a strong family?

Are you kidding me?

With the superhuman ability of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and his own honed monster strength, he only wants to go on adventures around the world with his adopted family?

The Golden Lion Shiki was furious. He used both hands to wrap around his domineering aura. The domineering lightning lingering on the blade bloomed in the sky above the center of the island. He swung it fiercely towards the Moby Dick where Whitebeard was.

"Whitebeard, are you kidding me...?!" Shiki was furious. He thought Whitebeard would appreciate his ambition to conquer the world and stand on the same path with him.

Now he suddenly looked down on Whitebeard from the bottom of his heart, but he could not deny the power that Whitebeard possessed and the devil fruit ability he had now developed.

Two hundred-meter-long slashing waves were swung out from the two famous swords in Shi Ji's hands, like two angry lions, unstoppable and unstoppable, cutting straight into the sea.

The waves split the sea and rushed straight towards the Moby Dick.

"Since I've rejected you anyway, I might as well play with you." Upon seeing this, Whitebeard hurriedly raised his arms and used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to tear through the sea and sky, colliding with the two slashing waves of the Golden Lion in mid-air.

The impact caused by the collision of the two forces destroyed everything on the island where Arthur was like a flood.

Garp, who had taken a short break, suddenly appeared behind Shiki and punched him in the head: "You failed to win over Shiki, fist bone conflict!"

"Don't be so complacent, Garp!" Shiki, who was furious, turned around instantly, without taking a breath, and his double swords with domineering aura easily blocked Garp's fist.

"Your title of naval hero was just a fluke."

The two domineering forces collided with each other, and the aftermath of the power spread from the sky to the entire island like ripples.

In a moment, Shiqi and Garp were almost simultaneously blown into the island by the force.

Bang! Garp's body turned into a super-fast afterimage and landed in front of Arthur, raising a large cloud of smoke.

Seeing this, Arthur waved his palm towards the smoke in front of him, creating a strong airflow in front of him that dispersed the smoke. He was surprised to see Cap, who was covering his head and looking uncomfortable in the pit.

"What's going on?" Arthur was full of doubts, looking at Garp in the pit and thinking: "Shouldn't Garp be One Punch Man when he was young? He can't even defeat Golden Lion Shiki alone?"

Cap in the pit opened his eyes and stared at Arthur for a few seconds before asking, "Arthur?"

"I'm leading the troops in battle here, Vice Admiral Garp, why do you look so tired?" Arthur said to him calmly, and dodged a bullet by tilting his head.

Cooper was sweating profusely. He flapped his wings quickly on Arthur's back and pointed at the golden lion Shiki who was walking towards him.

The powerful aura of the golden lion made him feel suffocated.

Arthur turned around quickly, holding the hilt of the knife at his waist with extreme vigilance: "Lieutenant General Garp, this is not a guy I can handle."

"Of course, releasing a large amount of domineering aura is very tiring and consumes a lot of physical strength." Garp rested for a while, and just as he climbed out of the pit, he saw a golden lion walking towards him not far ahead.

"What's wrong, Garp?" The Golden Lion showed a sarcastic smile, holding the knife in both hands and looking at Garp, and said: "You hadn't fought me with all your strength at that time, right?"

"Haha!" Garp clenched his fists and smiled at him: "Yeah, Shiqi, it's all your fault for not being united seven years ago."

Golden Lion glanced around and found about a hundred navy soldiers with guns surrounding him.

He immediately raised his hand and squeezed it hard: "Lion's Might - Earth Scroll!"

In an instant, the surrounding ground shook, the earth kept wriggling, and countless soils began to quickly merge into six unshakable mountain lions, surrounding everyone.

The mountain-like lion roared, and the roar was like thunder, deafening.

"Go to the air!" Seeing this, Arthur threw Cooper into the sky. The other soldiers were trapped by the soil like quicksand.

Afterwards, he used the Six Styles to leap into the air and narrowly avoided the tiger's mouth.

"Hmm?" The golden lion floated up and stood in the air, squinting at Arthur below, and said to Cap: "Cap, this guy couldn't be... the genius created in your newspaper, right?"

"What does this have to do with our fight?" Garp's face was gloomy. With the ability of the Golden Lion, he had no way of protecting the soldiers around him who were caught in the soil.

The swordsmanship and physical skills of a great swordsman. The awakened superhuman Float-Float Fruit can easily float anything except living things, and even change the terrain.

It was already difficult for him to fight alone.

"It's just right. This time I'll make your navy lose something." The Golden Lion used his ability to speed up the attack speed of the six lions and attacked Arthur more fiercely.

Hearing this, Arthur, who was about to escape from the place where the two were fighting, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He turned around and used the Moon Step to stop in the air, looking at the Golden Lion Shiki with his head held high, jumping in the air as if doing physical exercises before a battle.

"Arthur! Don't stop and leave here." Cap looked at Arthur who had stopped running with surprise, not knowing what he was going to do.

"At worst, I'll just die."
