The pirates gasped at the sight before them, their exclamations echoing endlessly.
In the next moment, the Golden Lion summoned dozens of earthen lions from the ground using his fruit powers. They were even larger in size. With their mouths wide open, they charged forward on all fours. The entire island trembled beneath them.
What was once a peaceful island was now riddled with scars. Pits marred the ground everywhere. The land had been transformed into massive lions. The terrain suddenly dipped, and the sea surged wildly upward.
"That madman Shiki! He's gone completely insane!"
"Quick! Everyone, get on the ship! We can't stay here any longer!"
"Damn it! This island is going to be sunk by them!"
...
The clash between the two was so intense that even the commanders had to retreat to their ships.
Even with their protection, many pirates still met their deaths during the battle. But neither Bob nor the Golden Lion paid any mind to that.
At this moment, the Golden Lion only wanted to defeat Bob quickly. Even if it meant exhausting him with the earthen lions, he was determined to wear him down.
But contrary to his expectations, Bob seemed to possess boundless stamina. As he darted between the earthen lions, all of them were swiftly obliterated.
"Golden Lion, these things you've created are no fun at all!"
"They're just a bunch of dirt!"
At that moment, Bob's voice resonated with a penetrating quality. It covered the entire area. Even the crew members who had returned to the Rocks ship could hear him clearly.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion's anger surged. However, at that moment, having finished off the earthen lions, Bob slightly bent his right leg, his sharp, dark eyes fixed on the swirling dust that locked onto the Golden Lion's position.
In the next instant, Bob's body vanished from the spot.
"Boom!!"
A thunderous explosion erupted, comparable to a massive bomb detonation, the sheer sound forcing people to cover their ears. A giant pit appeared in the ground.
From afar, the crew on the ship watched. They saw a streak of light moving at incredible speed, painting the sky like a brilliant shooting star piercing through the sky.
"What the hell! What kind of explosive power is this?!"
"I only saw a blur!"
"Because of the speed, I thought Bob had just vanished!"
Even from their ship, they could feel the terrifying force unleashed on the island. Even the usually unflappable Rocks couldn't help but marvel. Looking at Bob's figure, his expression was complex.
"Gurararara!"
"Bob's explosive power is truly exceptional!"
"I never expected that after such a brutal battle, he could still maintain this level of stamina!"
Whitebeard laughed heartily, genuinely pleased to see Bob perform like this. The other commanders, however, fell silent. Their attention was entirely focused on Bob in the field. They watched that fleeting shadow.
In the blink of an eye, he was before the Golden Lion.
"you said i can't hit you?"
"What about now?"
Bob spoke slowly, his fist already swinging forward. However, though the Golden Lion was shocked, he quickly reacted. He drew his twin swords, Oto and Kogarashi, from his waist in an instant. Both blades were enveloped in the Haki of Armament. Under the sunlight, they emitted a dark sheen.
"I'll see if your fist is harder than my two famous swords are!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed down toward Bob with both hands covered in flowing haki.
Seeing this, Bob did not flinch. He tightened his fist and struck directly against the blade.
Clang!! Sparks erupted from the impact. In less than a second, the two had already exchanged dozens of blows. Back and forth they went. Using the rebound force from their continuous clashes, Bob adjusted his body constantly to avoid falling straight down.
But the Golden Lion, seeing that after more than ten exchanges he had gained no advantage, suddenly struck down fiercely.
With a clang, Bob managed to block the attack, but his body plummeted straight toward the ground. At the same time, the Golden Lion reached out with a mighty hand. He roared, "Lion's Might: Royal Earthquake!"
Upon hearing this, the commanders on the ship felt their eyelids twitch.
"Damn it, the Golden Lion is really insane!"
"He's using that move it looks like this showdown is about to end!"
"To force the Golden Lion to this extent, Bob has already done remarkably well!"
The commanders knew this was the Golden Lion's ultimate move.
In an instant,the ground already scarred began to rise again. But this time, it wasn't just the earth and stones. Even the sea trembled. The once calm sea, under the influence of the floating fruit, suddenly roared with waves. The water was whipped up, forming massive water lions in the air.
The Rocks ship swayed dangerously on the surface of the water. If not for the presence of several powerful figures, the ship would have sunk by now.
In the next moment, around the island, over twenty water lions formed instantly, along with a dozen earthen lions from the island, all charging toward Bob simultaneously.
"Rumble!!"
At this moment, the sky was filled with shifting clouds, as if narrating the magnitude of this force. And the pirates on the ship were already dumbfounded. Each one stared wide-eyed.
In this clash between Bob and the Golden Lion, they had been shocked too many times. Now they felt somewhat numb.
Meanwhile, Whitebeard and the others looked toward the island, their expressions growing serious. The commanders knew the power of the Golden Lion's move. Few could withstand it.
"What a formidable physique! I wonder if he can take this hit!" Charlotte Linlin, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up, Her gaze toward Bob was filled with a different kind of emotion.
Seeing this, the commanders understood and shook their heads. Any man who caught her special attention was likely to be someone she had taken a liking to. But at that moment, Bob had no idea what was happening outside.
As his body fell toward the ground, before he could stand firm, dozens of lions with a ferocious aura charged at him.
