Chapter 163 - 163. Golden Lion, Shiki! (2/2)

He grew incredibly after his battle with Big Mom, however even still he could only tie with a damaged relic from the past.

Battle intent sparked in his eyes. He wanted to trample this legend, he wanted to break and surpass him. Only by defeating the strong could he go further.

Geppo!

Leo kicked the air and shot towards Shiki.

”Don't get c.o.c.ky marine!”

Shiki grabbed towards the earth below. The ground trembled and cracked apart. Pieces of earth started to float towards him.

”Stay down, boy!”

He waved his hand. The pieces of rocks shot at Leo like bullets.

Shiki suddenly appeared behind Leo and kicked with the swords.

Leo's kenbunshoku haki had already captured his movements. Using Geppo he dodged.

Soru!

In a flash Leo closed in on Shiki and slashed down his sword.

Clang!

Shiki slashed with his leg. One of the sword clashed with Leo. He grinned and spun in mid air before slashing with the other.

Soru!

Leo kicked the air and dodged.

Shiki clenched his fists. The earth down below cracked apart and floated towards him. It took the shape of two lion heads.

”Lions Roar!”

Shiki slammed his fist down.

The rock lions flew at Leo with incredible momentum.

Leo barely dodged one when the other fell upon him. He crossed his sword infront of his c.h.e.s.t and blocked it.

Bang!

The rock lion crumbled upon impact and Leo was thrown far away. A trail of blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth.

Somersaulting in air Leo managed to gain his balance and slashed out.

Sword rays shot at Shiki.

”You ain't the only sword grandmaster around here, kid!”

Shiki swiped with his legs several times.

Sword rays filled the sky as they clashed against Leo's sword strike.

Soru!

Leo kicked the air and flashed towards Shiki.

Ha!

Shiki laughed arrogantly and clenched his fist. His fist got clad in busoshoku haki, the black colour had a hint of purple to it as he punched out.

Top class armament Haki!

Leo's eyes turned solemn. He focused his intent on his sword. The black colour on it deepened as he swung it down.

Slash!

Fist and sword met.

The air cracked. A storm brewed with them at its center. Shiki took a step back and Leo was blown back.

”Ha! Kid, I ruled the seas when you were s.u.c.k.i.n.g titties!”

Leo didn't reply and blasted forward.

He completely withdrew his sword rays and converged them on the edge of his blade. A terrifying power was being condensed on it.

Shiki suddenly stopped laughing. His eyes grew solemn. He felt threatened by that sword.

”Looks like you got some tricks up your sleeve.”
