Enichi Tsukuni was shot down by Shiji in mid-air, and the noise made when it hit the ground was very loud. Both Shanks and Bucky, who had just escaped from the tavern, heard the terrifying noise coming from behind.
They all stopped and looked back, and happened to see a burst of thick smoke rising.
Looking up, the two saw Kuzan and Shiji confronting each other dozens of meters above the ground.
"Shanks, let's go!"
"While the Golden Lion and the Navy are fighting now, we must hurry up and leave."
"If Golden Lion Shiji finds us, he will definitely kill us!"
Bucky glanced hastily at the two people in the air, feeling horrified. He quickly pulled Shanks' clothes, turned around and left.
When Shanks glanced at the marines who were fighting with the Golden Lion's men in the distance, his expression actually showed some hesitation, and he said to Bucky:
"Bucky. Those Marines"
"They fought with the Golden Lion because of us. Are we just going to leave like this?"
Shanks and Bucky can now clearly see the battlefield situation where the navy and pirates are fighting not far away. The walls and roof of the tavern have been completely disintegrated by the power of Golden Lion Shiji, and the battlefield situation can be seen at a glance.
Seeing each marine fall to the sword of Shiji's men, Shanks actually wanted to go back and help the navy at this moment.
"What?! Shanks, what are you thinking? Are you okay?!"
"They are marines, and their duty is to fight pirates."
"It's their duty to capture us, and it's their duty to fight Golden Lion Shiji."
"We are pirates, how can we get involved in such a thing?!"
"Let's go! These marines will be killed by Shiji in a short time."
“I don’t know what’s wrong with these navy, they actually dare to draw their swords on Golden Lion Shiji, that’s Golden Lion Shiji!!”
Bucky is not as hesitant as Shanks. For Bucky, nothing is more important than saving his own life.
Grabbing Shanks' arm, Bucky was about to take Shanks away.
At this moment, a continuous golden roar sounded in the air. Kuzan's lower body completely turned into a state of ice mist, and his upper body condensed into a solid body. He was fighting the golden lion Shiji with an ice sword in his hand.
Kuzan is a user with natural devil fruit abilities. Even in mid-air, his power can still be fully unleashed.
But even so, Kuzan was defeated continuously under Shiji's indifferent attacks, and there were already several scars of varying depths on his chest and cheeks in just a few rounds of fighting.
"Hahahaha, kid, your Devil Fruit is indeed quite rare, but it's still too tender!"
"If you only have this ability, then you must be prepared to die!"
In mid-air, after the Golden Lion Shiji forced Kuzan back with a knife, he relied on the ability of the Piao Piao Fruit to float in mid-air and shouted loudly towards Kuzan, who was half-body in ice mist not far away.
At this time, the golden lion is holding a sword in both hands, with "Sakura Ten" in one hand and "Deadwood" in the other. His blond hair is blowing in the wind, showing his arrogant and wanton look.
Not far in front of him, Kuzan was holding an ice sword in both hands, breathing rapidly.
In just a few rounds of confrontation, Kuzan had already consumed a huge amount of energy. Shiji's slashes were very powerful. For Kuzan, every time he resisted was very difficult.
Moreover, a great pirate like Shi Ji is also very familiar with natural fruits. When Kuzan was fighting Shi Ji, he could clearly feel that Shi Ji was deliberately controlling the distance between the two.
If fighting on the ground, with Kuzan's current level of development of the fruit's ability, he can use the ground as a conductive medium to influence Shi Ji.
But fighting in mid-air, Kuzan had no way to use air as a conductive medium. It was difficult for his fruit ability to have much influence on Shiji.
When Shi Ji spoke, he raised his two swords above his head, and powerful domineering energy began to condense on his arms and the long sword.
"Navy, if you want to hate it, just hate your bad luck for meeting me!"
Shi Ji looked at Kuzan, who was floating in the air with half of his body in ice fog, and said with a smile. As he spoke, the two swords were already ready to strike at Kuzan.
“Buzz!!!!”
However, at this moment, a terrifying roar suddenly came from the ground. Among the smoke and dust thrown up by Ji Guoyuan's fall to the ground, a line of four to five meters long and more than one meter wide surrounded the black thunder. At this moment, the attack shot out of the smoke and flew rapidly towards Shi Ji in mid-air.
"!!"
"Um?!"
Shi Ji, who was about to drop his sword, looked down the moment he heard the sound on the ground. The moment he saw the black thunder slash, Shi Ji's face clearly showed deep surprise.
The next second, the black thunder strike approached in front of him. Shi Ji quickly dropped his sword to block it, and his two swords struck directly on the flying strike.
"boom!!!"
Between the domineering attacks, the terrifying shock wave spread quickly. The rubble and soil floating in the sky with Shiji's fruit ability collapsed one after another. The shock wave even affected Kuzan in the distance. Kuzan quickly flew back, and his body was here. In an instant, it completely turned into ice mist, and rubble and debris flew rapidly from Kuzan's "body".
At this time, a bird was flying across the sky and was directly hit by the flying clods of soil. It instantly turned into a ball of blood mist and disappeared into the sky.
On the ground, the smoke and dust dispersed. Ji Guoyuan held a knife in one hand and looked at Shi Ji in the sky. The flying slash just now was made by Ji Guoyuan.
At this time, there were no injuries on Jiguo Enichi's body, except for some dust and a slight damage to the school officer's uniform.
Being shot down from an altitude of tens of meters, Ji Guoyuan was not affected at all.
In mid-air, after Shiji blocked Enichi Tsukuni's slash with all his strength, his pupils shrank, and he looked at Enichi Tsukuni standing on the ground attentively. His brows could not help but frown, and he said with some surprise. :
"It's actually the overlord's color entanglement!"
"Although the strength is far less than those guys, the power is already pretty good, and the slashing attacks are impressive."
"Is there anyone like you in the navy?"
Golden Lion Shiji looked at Enichi Tsukuni, swung the knife towards the ground with both hands, and roared: "Chop!"
When he swung in the air, two invisible slashes fell directly towards the ground, and they were already on the ground in an instant.
While the dust was flying, the ground was directly split open by Shi Ji's slash. Two thousand-meter-long ground cracks formed an "X" shape, and they were gradually revealed after the smoke and dust dissipated.
And the figure of Jiguo Yuanyi also disappeared from the ground.
Shi Ji looked at this scene, seeing and hearing the domineering spread, and after not feeling Ji Kunoyuan's aura, a bright smile appeared on his face.
However, his smile stayed on his face for less than a second before it froze.
The battlefield where Shi Ji's men originally fought with the navy was now silent.
A red-haired boy stood on the ruins of the tavern, holding a knife in one hand and looking up at Shiji. Around him were the corpses of pirates.
In just a blink of an eye, all these pirates were killed by Jiguoyuan without even making a move to resist!
