Chapter 105 Has anyone ever told you...?
Kyle stood atop the highest peak of the floating island, looking down at the buildings on the island, and showed little surprise when he saw them.
Kyle knew whose territory this was the moment he saw the floating island.
Golden Lion - Shiki!!
He was also a member of the Rocks Pirates, and one of the strongest members at the time, with peak combat power even greater than that of Wang Zhi.
He once faced an attack from both Sengoku and Garp simultaneously, and although he was ultimately defeated, it also proved the strength of his opponents.
However, due to various reasons, Shiki's strength has declined drastically, and in the original work, he was even defeated by Luffy, who had only been at sea for two years.
The extent of their decline in strength is similar to that of Zephyr.
The reason why the Golden Lion's strength has declined so drastically is due to a variety of factors.
Golden Lion suffered two serious physical injuries, which greatly affected his strength.
First, during the Battle of Eit Wall, he was accidentally impaled in the head by a ship's rudder. The rudder was left in place because doctors determined that removing it would endanger his life. It could not only damage his nerves but also affect his judgment and reaction ability.
Secondly, in order to escape Impel Down, he cut off both of his legs, and afterwards he could only use his beloved swords "Sakura Ju" and "Kikura" as prosthetics.
He was originally a renowned swordsman, and swordsmanship was an important part of his combat strength. Although he could later use his feet to perform those sword moves as well, his combat system had become unbalanced.
At his peak, Shiki's fighting system combined swordsmanship with his Devil Fruit ability, but in the later stages he became overly reliant on the Float-Float Fruit.
The Float-Float Fruit has a fatal weakness: it is extremely sensitive to extreme weather.
The storm at the Battle of Edd Wars caused heavy losses to his fleet, and later, during his battle with Luffy, the thunderstorms also gave Luffy an opportunity to counterattack.
In conclusion, under favorable weather conditions, the Golden Lion should have a combat strength equivalent to a candidate admiral; under unfavorable weather conditions, its strength may only be that of an elite vice admiral.
However, this refers to the Golden Lion in the original work, ten years after the present timeline. We haven't reached that point yet, and the Golden Lion's strength shouldn't have declined to that extent.
Looking down at the buildings, Kyle suddenly smiled.
Unexpectedly, he gained something from this trip.
Capturing Wang Zhi wasn't enough; now they've sent him a golden lion.
Are you afraid he'll accumulate too few military achievements?!
Since that's the case, then he won't hold back!
The fact that he encountered the Golden Lion here is simply a matter of bad luck and insufficient strength.
If the Golden Lion were at his peak, Kyle would at most come and try, and if it didn't work out, he would immediately retreat.
He doesn't believe he's reached the level of the Golden Lion at his peak.
Unfortunately, the golden lion is no longer the majestic lion it once was!
Thinking of this, Kyle's eyes suddenly narrowed, and an incredibly terrifying Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire island.
The countless blood-red, ferocious animals on the island shuddered the moment they were struck by this overwhelming aura. Beads of cold sweat seeped from their bodies, and then their pupils lost focus as they collapsed to the ground.
And inside the building in the center of the island.
A man with a ship's wheel stuck in his head, long, flowing mane like a lion's, and golden sideburns and beard, resembling a lion, sat in a chair, flashing a hearty smile, and asked someone below:
"Indigo, any progress in the research on IQ?!"
"Admiral, I am incompetent and have not made any breakthrough progress yet. Those animals that have become ferocious due to their IQ are still impossible to control!"
Indigo's tone carried a hint of self-reproach.
But the Golden Lion didn't seem to blame him much; he simply smiled and said:
"Don't blame yourself. We have plenty of time. Take it slow!"
"Sooner or later we will be able to completely control them, and then it will be time for us to take revenge on the World Government and the Navy!!"
At this point, a deep hatred rose in the Golden Lion's eyes, and he couldn't help but look down at himself.
He remembered perfectly clearly why his legs were broken.
Just as he was about to say something, a terrifying wave of Conqueror's Haki swept over, and the many pirates in the building instantly lost consciousness and collapsed, their eyes turning white.
"Um?!"
Golden Lion narrowed his eyes and looked in a certain direction, as if he could see through a great distance to the guy who was unleashing his Conqueror's Haki.
"How dare you!!"
The golden lion roared and waved its hand, opening the two large doors to the sides. With a flash, it flew out of the doors. As it flew out of the doors, an equally powerful Conqueror's Haki burst forth from the golden lion, clashing with the incoming Conqueror's Haki.
Black and red lightning flashed continuously in the void.
The golden lion was extremely fast, and soon arrived in front of Kyle. When it saw Kyle's appearance, it was stunned for a moment.
When he first sensed Conqueror's Haki, he thought it was some familiar guy, but it turned out to be a brat who hadn't even grown up yet?!
"Kid, who are you?!"
The golden lion asked, frowning.
"Navy, Kyle!"
"Kyle!!"
A sharp glint flashed in the golden lion's eyes as he stared intently at Kyle, speaking each word clearly:
"The grandson of the Warring States period?!"
"It's me!!"
"Haha, hahahaha..."
The golden lion chuckled twice, followed by a burst of laughter.
"You brat, you dare come looking for me? Do you know who I am?!"
"Shiki the Golden Lion is nothing but a stray dog, who doesn't know that?"
!!!
boom--
In an instant, the Conqueror's Haki released by the Golden Lion intensified by a level, and the boundless and surging Conqueror's Haki continued to surge towards Kayle, but Kayle's expression did not change at all, and he even showed a smile the next second.
"What?! Did I hit a nerve? You also think of yourself as a stray dog?!"
The Golden Lion's face was gloomy, his eyes fixed on Kyle, and after a long while he suddenly laughed again.
"Hahahaha..."
The laughter subsided after a long while, and then the Golden Lion stared at Kyle, speaking calmly:
"Kid, has anyone ever told you that you're brave?"
"No one has told me yet!"
Kyle shook his head, then said:
"And you? Has no one ever told you that your laughter is awful and you should stop laughing? It makes me want to throw up!"
!!!
