Chapter 280 Barrett vs. Golden Lion

Amidst the ruins.

Shiki the Golden Lion flew out in anger.

In his memory, Barrett was just a kid in Roger's crew, a loser who was captured and imprisoned in Impel Down.

When Roger was arrested, before Roger was publicly executed, Shiki the Golden Lion caused a ruckus at Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, and was eventually captured by Sengoku the Buddha and Garp the Iron Fist.

After Roger was executed, Barrett, unable to accept the outcome, began wreaking havoc on the seas.

Roger's death at the hands of those useless Marines was unacceptable to both Shiki the Golden Lion and Barrett.

Roger deserves to die at their hands, and die a glorious death.

Instead of being executed in a cowardly manner.

A year after Roger's death, Barrett was captured by the Buster Call fleet led by Sengoku the Buddha and Garp the Iron Fist, and imprisoned in Impel Down.

Two years after Roger's death, Shiki the Golden Lion, imprisoned in Impel Down, cut off his own legs and escaped. Using the power of the Float-Float Fruit, he fled the underwater prison located in the Calm Belt.

Back then, the news of Shiki the Golden Lion's escape from prison caused quite a stir in Infinite Hell.

To be honest, back then, serious criminals like Red Earl and Barrett were indeed a little envious of Shiki the Golden Lion for regaining his freedom.

If it weren't for Luo Ji's invasion of Impel Down, they might never have seen the light of day again.

Barrett, not to mention, can learn Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, which is perfect for facing his old nemesis, Shiki the Golden Lion.

"It's a good thing Redfield isn't here, otherwise, if he saw you looking so old and frail, he'd probably be even more obsessed with getting young again."

Barrett grinned, staring intently at Shiki the Golden Lion, this decaying legendary pirate.

Shiki the Golden Lion, who was once on par with Roger, is now pitifully weak.

After he defeats Shiki the Golden Lion, he will challenge another legendary pirate: Whitebeard Newgate!

"Hmph! You subservient wretches are not worthy to speak with me!"

"Luo Ji! Come out here!!"

Shiki the Golden Lion wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Still unable to let go of his pride, he quickly floated up and flew towards the golden spaceship in the sky, shouting.

'Om! '

A purple aura enveloped the flying golden lion Shiki, and a terrifying gravity slammed down on him.

It felt as if a mountain was pressing down on its shoulders, causing the golden lion's flight speed to drop drastically and it to plummet back to the ground.

"Golden Lion, our battle is not over yet!"

Upon hearing Golden Lion's words, Barrett's face instantly darkened. He had only temporarily joined the Luo Ji World Group in order to become stronger.

He did not submit!

Enraged, Barrett charged toward Shiki the Golden Lion, determined to teach this arrogant old man a lesson in reality.

"Damn it! It's gravity!"

Shiki the Golden Lion unleashed his Float-Float Fruit power to counteract the Gravity Fruit power.

These two abilities are Devil Fruit abilities that counter each other.

Now it depends on which ability user has developed their abilities more and has greater power.

"So strong!"

Shiki the Golden Lion had never been so out of control; his Float-Float Fruit ability almost went out of control.

The Gravity Fruit user on the other side is definitely a top-tier powerhouse at the Admiral level.

If he were younger, he certainly wouldn't be afraid of a gravity user at the Admiral level.

But now, his strength and physique are no longer what they used to be, and he simply cannot withstand the opponent's continuous bursts of power.

Moreover, Barrett, that brat who had mastered a trace of Conqueror's Haki and wrapped it around his fur, had once again appeared before him.

Shiki the Golden Lion never expected that he would be suppressed without even seeing Luo Ji's face.

This dashed his hopes of negotiating a partnership.

"Old man, there's no pirate ship left to carry you in this era!"

"Magic Flash - Impact!"

Barrett's massive fist, crackling with black and red lightning, slammed towards Shiki the Golden Lion.

Perhaps seeing Barrett's powerful punch, the oppressive force on Golden Lion completely disappeared, giving Golden Lion time to counterattack as Barrett gained no advantage.

"If Roger hadn't refused my offer back then, this world would already belong to pirates!"

Shiki the Golden Lion was a little defensive; he was indeed very dissatisfied with his injured and sickly body.

But he absolutely refuses to admit that he is outdated.

His Beast Plan still has the potential to destroy the world!

'Lion's Might - Flying Great Wave Slash!'

Despite the deadly threat to his head and the ship's rudder, Shiki the Golden Lion unleashed his Conqueror's Haki with a frenzy, determined to kill the arrogant brat, Barrett.

"Captain Skeeter!!"

Dr. Indigo saw the Golden Lion fighting desperately, its head already bleeding profusely, and immediately shouted anxiously.

He was genuinely afraid that the boss might suddenly die here.

Not only will the Golden Lion perish, but all the people and beasts on these floating islands will die as the islands fall.

Even Luo Ji on the Ark Proverb narrowed his eyes, his pupils flashing red as he activated his Observation Haki to predict the future.

If Shiki the Golden Lion were truly in danger of dying suddenly, he would definitely take action himself and take him down.

To prevent the Golden Lion from dying and having his Float-Float Fruit powers regenerated.

"boom!!"

Barrett and the Golden Lion clashed again from a distance, and the violent shockwaves destroyed the magnificent palace of the floating main island layer by layer.

As if about to undergo a supreme ascension, Shiki the Golden Lion restored his peak fighting power, his crazed expression suggesting he was determined to kill Barrett.

"Big Bear! Mansherry! Get ready to save him! If this continues, this old lion is going to die!"

Luo Ji's eyes flashed red as he watched the epic battle between the Golden Lion and Barrett intently.

"understand!"

Kuma, the Paw-Paw Fruit user, and Mansherry, the Heal-Heal Fruit user, are both on high alert, ready to rescue the prideful but reckless Shiki the Golden Lion.

"Hahaha! That's it!"

"Make it even stronger!"

Barrett sensed the power of Shiki the Golden Lion and became even more excited. He fully mastered his Conqueror's Haki Entanglement and unleashed a fierce barrage of attacks on Shiki the Golden Lion.

"Today, though I am old, I am not someone a brat like you can bully!"

"Lion's Might - Slaying Gods!"

Sakura and Koku, beneath Shiki the Golden Lion's feet, once again unleashed black and red lightning, beginning to gather overwhelming killing intent.

Even Barrett's gaze became incredibly serious.

Because he had seen this move before.

This is the ultimate killing move that Shiki the Golden Lion used to fight Roger, comparable to Roger's move "Divine Evasion"!

"Back then, I couldn't withstand Roger's 'Divine Evasion,' leaving me with a regret that has lasted for over twenty years!"

"While I was in prison, I kept thinking about how to deal with Roger's [Divine Evasion]!"

"Today, I will definitely be able to stop your 'Godslayer'!"

Barrett's eyes turned bloodshot, and his entire body erupted with overwhelming Armament Haki.

This time, he didn't use the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement technique, which he wasn't very skilled at, but instead used Armament Haki, which he had honed for over twenty years.

"Bullet - Devil's Impact!"

Barrett's massive Armament Haki, like a vast ocean, condensed into his enormous fist and slammed into Shiki the Golden Lion's God-Slaying Slash.
