Chapter 120 The Last Lion’s Roar
Black smoke filled the air, and the remaining flames swayed.
The charred figure on the ground loomed in the swaying fire and smoke, exuding a chilling feeling.
Darren narrowed his eyes.
It is impossible that the North Sea Fleet's five-minute land-wash bombing failed to work.
At least it can't be completely ineffective.
Even if the golden lion covered his whole body with armed Haki, his little physical strength would not be able to support the terrible consumption of covering his whole body with Haki for five minutes.
Once the armored and domineering defense is lost, the golden lion's flesh and blood body will never be able to withstand the bombardment of the North Sea Fleet.
The body's physical defenses have limits.
Even someone as strong as Garp would be accidentally chopped by "Axe King" Mengka while sleeping. Although it was only to the extent of breaking his skin, it was enough to explain the problem.
The same goes for the white beard on top of the war.
Without Haki's defense, pistols, artillery, and even ordinary slashes may injure him.
Even if it were Darren himself, if he hadn't successfully cultivated the "Indestructible Body" at the same level as Kaido, he would most likely not be able to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the North Sea Fleet that exceeded the power of the Demon-Slaying Order. .
The hot wind blew by, and the black smoke filled with the smell of gunpowder in the air was gradually blown away.
The figure of the golden lion once again came into view.
The naval soldiers of the North Sea Fleet seemed to have seen some horrific scene. They all gasped and subconsciously raised their weapons and aimed at the figure.
Darren suddenly raised his hand and stopped the marines from shooting.
At this moment, the golden lion's appearance has changed drastically.
The blond hair that spread to the ground had been singed, and the clothes on his upper body had been shattered by the bombs, hanging sparsely on his body like rags, revealing his thin and bloody body.
The skin, flesh, and muscles on the body were all in the form of ulcers, charred and blurred, and the thick black blood mixed with the melted flesh was like dark red mud, falling to the ground in lumps.
Countless bullet holes, scorched marks, ulcerated skin...even half of his face on the left side had been blown away, leaving only the exposed eyeballs protruding, filled with scarlet and hideous bloodshot eyes.
Like a demon crawling out of hell, tragic and terrifying.
The golden lion was panting, hot breath coming out of his mouth and nose, as if his whole body was twitching and shaking unconsciously because of the tragic injury.
But his hand holding the knife did not tremble.
"hehe……"
A self-deprecating smile gradually appeared on his lips.
His mouth, which was ulcerated by the bombing, revealed his bloody gums as he smiled.
"Haha...hahaha...Jie hahahaha!!!"
The low, hoarse laughter gradually grew louder and soon filled the sky.
Mad as a devil, the golden lion looked up to the sky and laughed ferociously, covered in blood.
"I was actually forced to this extent!!!"
"It's really yours... Darren brat... you even mixed the sea tower stone in the bombing of the fleet!!"
"Aren't you afraid that you will die under shelling?"
Darren expressionlessly took out a cigar from his arms, lit it in his mouth, and took a deep puff.
"A lion needs all his strength to kill his prey, not to mention that in this birdcage, you are the arrogant lion."
"You are so powerful, Golden Lion."
As he spoke, Darren raised his hand, and his fingers suddenly dug hard into a piece of flesh and blood in his chest, and he pulled out a seastone bullet from it.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding...
The sea tower stone bullet fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.
Darren's face turned pale, but the light in his eyes became more intense.
"I had to take the risk."
He stretched out his hand again and dug into another wound!
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding...
One blood-stained Hailou stone bullet after another was just pulled out by him.
Because of his "indestructible body", the Hailou Stone bullet did not penetrate deep into Darren's body. It could only barely penetrate the flesh and blood that had been cut by the golden lion, and then got stuck in the interlayer of the muscles. .
"If I can't kill you this time, I'm afraid I will live in fear of you for the rest of my life."
After pulling all the seastone bullets out of his body, Darren's breath had become chaotic. He was panting slightly with his hands on his knees, and his lips began to turn a sickly pale color.
"I see……"
The golden lion looked at Darren's almost crazy action. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.
He was laughing, as if he was injured, and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth and body.
The extensive injuries all over his body, the massive bleeding, and the weakening of the sea-floor stone bullets embedded in his body made him feel weaker than ever before.
Pain and weakness were filling every cell in him at this moment.
The vision in front of him was blurring, and the pain on his forehead strangely seemed to have disappeared.
"Jie hahaha!! I underestimated you too much..."
However, the golden lion completely ignored him and just stared at the navy brat in front of him with burning eyes.
"He laid out such a detailed and insidious plan, and even exposed his trump card that had been hidden for many years...just to kill me."
"The rumors on the sea are indeed true. Compared to the navy, you are indeed more like a pirate."
There was still undisguised contempt in his eyes when he looked at Darren.
"In that case, I will let you see with your own eyes... what is the terror of a real pirate!!"
The golden lion took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand.
This action made Darren's pupils shrink.
It also caused the expressions of Doflamingo, Flying Squirrel and countless marines in the distance to change drastically.
Could it be...
"This thing is really in the way..."
The golden lion murmured softly, and the bloody hand had already grasped the rudder on his head.
"Obviously there is no pain anymore, damn..."
His violent eyes suddenly condensed, and he grinned at Darren.
"Don't you always want to pull this thing out of my head?"
"In that case, I will do as you wish..."
Darren's pupils shrank to tiny needles.
The golden lion's eyes sharpened, flashing an unprecedented determination.
Then he used one hand to forcefully pull out the rudder stuck in his head...! !
laugh! !
The rudder dragged a sticky red line of blood, drawing a sad arc in the air.
The world went silent for a second.
Then--
boom! ! ! !
An overwhelming terrifying aura erupted from the golden lion's body like a mountain collapsing and the sea cracking! !
Countless black and red lightnings surrounded the desperate lion covered in blood and spread out in all directions.
The world in front of me seemed to suddenly become sticky, blurry, and solidified, and all colors were directly stripped away.
The purgatory-like wind was blowing in my face, and the substantial momentum was oppressive, and even the ground of the entire island began to show signs of tearing! !
"Jie hahahaha!!! Come on Darren kid!!"
The golden lion held the knife in both hands, and the domineering aura that had been oppressed by the rudder for a long time burst out unscrupulously, laughing happily and wantonly.
"Don't die so easily!!"
This is the lion's last roar!
