Oh? This is a slash that includes singing?!
The golden lion's expression showed a hint of surprise. Interesting, really interesting.
Let me see how much strength you're still hiding.
Shiki floated high in the air, a cigar in his mouth, and stretched out his hands, causing five lion heads to reappear on the ground.
"The strongmen of the East Sea, Roger must be eager to meet you, hehehehe!"
With a gentle wave, five lion heads hurtled towards the ground from five directions like shooting stars.
Ghost Shark picked up the circular saw and stood up.
The three of them stood in a triangle, fiercely protecting the civilians in the center.
But after dealing with more than a dozen ferocious beasts, Ain and Alice began to bear wounds.
However, the civilians who took up the guns were not trained, and their cooperation and shooting accuracy were clearly insufficient.
Finally, five gigantic lion heads, large enough to bury everyone, roared in at the very end.
There's no time to hesitate anymore.
The Specter Shark stared calmly at the Golden Lion, and with a hum, its long-handled circular saw suddenly spun, scattering scorching sparks.
call! ! !
A terrifying aura surged from the ghost shark's eyes, stirring the flower fields and the jungle. This aura permeated the world of falling cherry blossoms, mingling with the air and condensing into a chilling frost amidst the faint fragrance of flowers.
As its power swept over them, whether they were civilians, ferocious beasts, or pirate henchmen high in the sky, their eyes rolled back and they collapsed to the ground.
Time seemed to slow down at that moment, and Ain and Alice used their knives to support themselves, barely managing to stay upright.
In a short while, only the roar of five enormous lion heads remained in the sky.
"Is it Conqueror's Haki?"
The golden lion's smile widened, his curiosity growing stronger.

"Alice, give me some berserk mode."
Laurentina's gaze was fixed on the approaching lion's head, but her tone remained calm and composed.
"Berserk...Berserk?" Alice was stunned, then gritted her teeth, "That's the [Demon-Slaying Arrow], used to boost stamina!"
Although she seemed reluctant, her hands moved with lightning speed. She clasped her hands together in prayer, and a blue arrow materialized in front of her.
She then suddenly opened her eyes, and the illusory arrow, carrying a holy light, was injected into the ghost shark's body.
The Demon-Slaying Arrow is a youthful version of the one that can cleave flesh and break bones, without even any side effects.
Alice, however, stubbornly refused to acknowledge its berserk effects.
The ghost shark vanished from its spot and suddenly reappeared in the center of the five lion heads in the sky. Then it raised its serrated circular saw high and swung it across the huge rock with the gusto of a divine weapon.
Her movements were graceful and fluid, as if she were dancing with the governor at an elegant banquet.
"Deep Sea Rhapsody: The Joy of the Tides!"
The golden lion was stunned, his mouth almost touching the ground. What did he see?
High in the sky, the woman unleashed a dense barrage of deep blue slashes, one after another, slash upon slash.
She danced with abandon, tireless.
Madness guided her circular saw, and flesh chased after her soul.
Ultimately, it transformed into a dense, slashing ocean.
The next instant, a sudden melody, without warning, burst forth from the 'ocean,' its stirring music flowing endlessly through the slashing sounds, captivating everyone's heartstrings.
The melody, like a torrent of steel, swept over everyone's senses.
It stirs the heart.
Uncontrollable madness, intense and fiery emotions, are like a hero wielding a longsword, playing a magnificent epic with free adventure!
How romantic!
Even Shiki was deeply moved.
Isn't this the true praise of Roger and the others on the high seas?
and many more!
A hallucination of the singing?
Sirens?
Shiki suddenly realized something and recalled the legends that were popular during the Rocks Pirates' era.
It is said that somewhere in the New World, sirens lured nearby sailors to run aground and sink on rocky shores with their enchanting music and songs.
Rumble!
The endless tides of the ocean swallowed the five lion heads, tearing them apart in the blink of an eye, turning them into countless fragments.
But this was no longer enough to surprise Shiki.
The ability to control animals, Conqueror's Haki, and the power to bewitch minds.
The singing voice.
"Young Navy officer, you are so powerful, yet you are only a lieutenant commander." Shiki said with a cigar in his mouth and an approving look on his face.
"How about joining the Flying Pirates? With your unpredictable abilities, my forces, and the perfect plan I've spent years developing, we can rule this world in no time. Become my right arm, Specter!"
At this moment, Shiki's tone was extremely sincere, and he smiled with complete confidence.
Given his status and position, inviting a mere naval lieutenant commander would be an easy task, wouldn't it?
After all, I am the Golden Lion!
"A very good suggestion..."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion became even more smug, but before he could make any promises, the cold voice rang out again.
"But, I refuse!"
Did he reject Lao Tzu's proposal?
Shiki's smile froze on his face.
Alice's lips curled up slightly.
Ain silently drew her twin swords and proudly raised her head.
"Refuse? Heh ha ha ha." The Golden Lion looked down at him, his laughter carrying a hint of threat. "Who do you think you are? Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King?"
Roger can refuse me, but what right do you have to compare yourself to him?
Is it because of her beauty? Hahaha.
What a joke! ! !
"You've got guts!" Shiki raised his foot, unleashing a slash at the unconscious civilian. "But no one can stop me from doing what I want to do!"
when!
The Specter drifted, its circular saw, shrouded in Armament Haki, blocking the incredibly fast slash.
"Despicable methods."
"I'm a pirate!" Shiki laughed loudly, and Sakura's blade slashed rapidly towards Specter Shark, the enormous force quickly forcing her back.
"And your weaknesses are too obvious."
Shiki spread his arms, and countless guns, cannons, swords and spears floated automatically, their sights aimed at the civilian wielders.
If he so chooses, tens of thousands of people could become dead in the next moment.
The three navy men's faces immediately turned ugly.
Saving civilians from the power of a legendary pirate has a near-zero success rate.
"How are you going to counter this move?" The Golden Lion floated leisurely beside the Specter, casually exhaling a puff of smoke.
"So, choose: either join me, or let them die."
"What?" Ghost Shark gripped the saw handle tightly and said calmly, "These are the only two choices? Or are you afraid of me? You don't even dare to face me head-on?"
Phew!
The two adorable little girls, Ain and Alice, tilted their heads, covered their mouths, and laughed in unison.
That gaze seemed to say, "No way, no way, this is the pirate admiral Shiki?"
Is this a provocation?
The Golden Lion nonchalantly chewed on his cigar, grinning.
“Interesting.” He laughed heartily. “Since you say so, I’ve changed my mind.”
"Now that all the small fry have been dealt with, let's have a fair and square duel!"
"The three of you will face off against the three members of the Flying Pirates. If you win, you can all leave. If you lose, you'll join the pirate crew! How about it?!"
Ha, what a mere junior's provocation.
However, Shiki grew to admire that Marine more and more. He was young but strong, and most importantly, he had an unyielding and arrogant will.
It's great, just to my liking!
Although his mastery of Conqueror's Haki is poor, his flaws do not detract from his overall strengths, and his potential is limitless.
I can train him properly in the future. Didn't that bastard Roger like to train successors? Well, I'll train one too!
When the time comes, you'll utterly defeat your successor. Isn't that a victory in itself? Hahahaha!
The golden lion felt a surge of excitement at the thought.
"Golden Lion, I shall march!"
The ghost shark's voice was solemn, resounding high in the sky, thousands of meters above the ground.
"Alright!!" Shiki grinned wildly, his long hair flowing freely. "You've got guts! Then let me formally introduce myself. I am Golden Lion, the Float Man who ate the Float-Float Fruit, and my ability is to manipulate objects to float!"
Laurentina sensed the seriousness in Skeeter's expression and immediately smiled honestly in return:
"My name is Laurentina, codename Specter. I am a vampire princess who ate the Bat-Bat Fruit. I can manipulate lifespan and blood, and I am also the Marine who will cut off your neck!"
"Very well! Then give it a try. I don't dislike your arrogance."
Shiki clenched his fist and swung it out rapidly.
"Lion's Might - Endless Roll"
Rumble!
On the floating island, the earth seemed to come alive, arranging and converging to form a circle of lion heads, which seemed to roar in the surging wind.
Bang!
Sparks flew as the endless lion heads danced on the circular saw. The stalemate lasted less than a moment before an irresistible force slammed Laurentina to the ground.
It created a crater the size of a football field.
Hahaha, the golden lion's smile is so bold.
Pure, unadulterated power! Little girl.
Chapter Sixty-One: The Immortal Ghost Shark (Please Subscribe)
clang!
High above the floating island, the two fought back and forth, relying on their flying abilities.
Of course, most of the time it's Ghost Shark that gets beaten up.
At this moment, the once golden flower fields of Wheat Island have been completely plowed into wasteland, and the cracks and pits of all sizes are filled with the smell of the end times.
"Let's find another island; there are too many people down here."
The circular saw, imbued with starlight, was swung by Laurentina without hesitation, unleashing a dazzling golden crescent-shaped slash.
"I'll grant your wish." Shiki delivered a slashing kick, instantly neutralizing the Leaping Wave Strike. "Your timid fighting stance is repulsive."
