Chapter 1513: The Green Bull General Takes Effect

Shiki the Golden Lion has had a ship's rudder stuck in his head for years, and his thinking can no longer be described as normal. He is now a complete madman, a monster who wants to drag everyone into the abyss.

"Wildgrass, forget about that dragon, stabilize Marineford first!"

Sakazuki's roar echoed across the battlefield, lava churning around him as he stared intently at the golden lion that was frantically raising the island.

They knew that if Marineford continued to rise and tilt, Naval Headquarters would be finished, a destruction more humiliating than defeat.

Green Bull Wild Shepherd, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Iron Dragon on the outskirts, frowned upon hearing this. He too felt the unsettling sensation of the island rising and tearing beneath his feet. "Tsk, what a crazy old man!"

He cursed under his breath and forced Iron Dragon back with a punch. Iron Dragon seemed to understand the seriousness of the situation and did not forcibly stop him, allowing Wild Shepherd to transform into a green streak of light and rush towards the core area of ​​Marineford.

Wild Shepherd landed directly on the edge of the widest and deepest crack where the island's base connects to the plaza. This crack, like a scar on the earth, was still expanding, and through it, one could already see the dizzying sea below.

"Damn Golden Lion... he messed up my new house like this!" Aramaki spat, then knelt down without hesitation, pressing his hands, covered in Armament Haki, hard onto the violently shaking ground.

"Don't underestimate the power of nature!"

A surge of immense life energy erupted from him, and his hands, especially his ten fingers, instantly transformed into countless wildly dancing green vines and roots, like living drills, plunging deep into the foundations of Marineford.

The next moment, a sight that shocked everyone occurred: from the crack, countless thick, green plant roots, as thick as giant pythons, broke through the soil.

They grow, intertwine, and entwine at a speed visible to the naked eye. These roots, containing the powerful life energy of the wilderness, are like the most resilient steel mesh, forcibly "stitching" the cracked earth together.

Not only in this place, but throughout Marineford, the cracked ground has been filled and reinforced by this wildly growing plant, temporarily halting the island's disintegration.

But that wasn't enough. A bright green light shone in Huang Mu's eyes, and he roared, channeling even more power into the ground.

"We can't let Admiral Akainu down; let's give it our all again."

An even larger plant root system extended from his body, like giant green dragons, frantically drilling towards the bottom of Marineford Island and into the deeper seabed.

These roots penetrated the rock layers, ignoring the resistance of the seawater, and spread downwards at an astonishing speed, eventually sinking deep into the seabed. Marineford was thus transformed into an island growing atop giant green trees.

The power of the Float-Float Fruit is pulling the island upwards, while Green Bull's Forest-Forest Fruit ability is desperately anchoring the island downwards through countless massive roots that are deeply embedded in the seabed.

The rapid ascent of Marineford suddenly halted. Although it continued to rise slowly, the speed had greatly decreased, and the island's tilt angle had temporarily stabilized.

An invisible struggle for control of Marineford unfolds between the ethereal power of the Golden Lion and the sinister power of the Green Bull.

"saved……"

"As expected of a Marine Admiral, he really managed to stabilize the island. Damn pirates, look what you've done!" In this situation where gods are fighting each other, the Marines can only hope that their own gods are stronger than the pirates' gods.

There were quite a few pirates cursing Shiki, and it was obvious to everyone that Shiki's mental state was very unstable. "Lord Shiki, wake up! We don't want to die yet! We just came to save Ace!"

"We're allies, not the Navy, we're pirates!"

"This is terrifying, I want to go home..."

Without the morale boost from the power of willpower, many pirates began to break down in the face of the sudden change in the world.

Most of the pirates who came to Marineford to fight were driven by loyalty to their father, even though they had already anticipated their own deaths before setting off.

However, when faced with the threat of death, most people would turn pale at the mere mention of it, since pirates are also human, and like the Marines, they only have one life.

The pirates' morale collapsed because of their own people. With the support of Artoria's leadership, the Marines faced their inner sense of justice. Their dedication to justice made all the Marines hold their positions and no one wanted to be a deserter.

"You bastard!!"

Shiki the Golden Lion, suspended in mid-air, immediately felt the powerful pulling force coming from below.

He roared angrily, his blond hair dancing wildly in his rage. He hadn't expected there to be someone in the Navy capable of altering the environment on a large scale, and even to some extent, counteracting his awakened abilities.

I really underestimated him. Aramaki, who later joined the Navy and became an Admiral, is indeed more difficult to deal with than Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users. He used the power of nature to deal with the power of Piao Piao, and for a time they were evenly matched.

Shiki, too lazy to waste time, continued to compare the strength of their Devil Fruit abilities, shouting, "Don't get in my way, you damn Marines, Lion Thousand Cut Valley!!"

In his rage, the Golden Lion completely abandoned his precise attacks. He brandished his famous sword Mikazuki Munechika and unleashed hundreds and thousands of enormous golden slashes across the entire Marineford Square below.

Each slash was several meters wide, containing the terrifying power to cut through a hundred miles of sea. These slashes, like a golden storm, densely covered the entire sky and poured down indiscriminately.

His primary objective was to disrupt, or even kill, the Green Bull Wild Pasture that was maintaining its root system, but at this moment he didn't care about accidentally injuring anyone.

Whether it's the navy or pirates, under such overwhelming attacks, they can only pray for their own safety. When Shiki goes berserk, he simply cuts down anyone he sees.

"Oh no, Shiki has gone berserk!"

"Quickly defend! Use Armament Haki to defend!"

Screams rose and fell, and both naval commanders and White Team leaders had to use their unique abilities to desperately resist the death storm that was falling from the sky.

Soldiers and pirates were constantly being slashed and devoured, turning into blood mist. Buildings were easily sliced ​​open, and the entire sky above Marineford was transformed into a slaughterhouse of death!

Wildwood was under immense pressure; he had to maintain his roots anchored to the island while also having to fend off the terrifying slashes that rained down on him.

The golden slashes continuously cut and shredded the giant plants he had created, but he immediately activated his power to regenerate them.

Based on Shiki the Golden Lion's current performance, with his three types of Haki, awakened Float-Float Fruit, and decades of honed swordsmanship, his strength is comparable to that of a great swordsman.

Against a great swordsman, even multiple ordinary swordsmen would be easy prey. Gion and Esdeath, the two women, are only at the level of swordsmen; the fact that they were able to briefly suppress Shiki was already a miracle.
