Chapter 383 [Skip] The Legendary Path of the Golden Lion
So he used his powerful abilities to pull the entire island into the sky, making it a floating island, and named it "STRONG WORLD".
Aini was filled with curiosity about the floating island, and he longed to obtain the secrets about it or other valuable items from the Golden Lion.
This made him even more eager to capture the Golden Lion, rather than let him escape easily.
For twenty years, Golden Lion has been hiding his whereabouts and researching "IQ" with his trusted deputy Dr. Indigo. He lives on a floating island and plans his comeback. He releases these animals into the "East Blue" and lets them wreak havoc, showing the World Government his power of revenge.
In Enni's eyes, this plan was utterly absurd. Why go to such lengths to destroy the East Blue? Was Shiki's Float-Float Fruit ability merely for decoration? He could easily create several barren islands as weapons; then who in the East Blue could stand against him? Or rather, could Shiki truly do whatever he pleased?
More importantly, the Golden Lion's island was suspended high in the air, and no one knew its exact location until he revealed himself. It was practically like he had a cheat code!
However, even with such favorable conditions, the Golden Lion ultimately squandered its advantages, forcing itself into a dead end. What exactly happened?
In the original story, the timeline is set two years prior, during the "Great Pirate Era." One day, the Straw Hat crew learns that their homeland, the East Blue, is facing a massive crisis, so they decide to temporarily suspend their ongoing adventure and rush back to the East Blue. Just then, they suddenly see a mysterious pirate ship appear in the sky.
Because Nami foresaw the impending storm and used a "sound shell" thrown from the ship to warn others, after the storm, Shiki, the owner of the pirate ship, came aboard the Thousand Sunny and offered to use his "Float-Float Fruit" ability to take Luffy and the others back to the East Blue as a thank you gift. Luffy and the others were very excited, but unexpectedly, Shiki suddenly released the Thousand Sunny's buoyancy and took the opportunity to kidnap Nami.
It turns out that Shiki's interest in Nami wasn't solely due to her beauty, but also because of her unique ability to sense the weather. He knew how crucial this ability was for a pirate crew's navigator, and thus he was determined to make Nami a member of his crew.
Just then, Luffy and his crew, aboard the Thousand Sunny, encountered an unexpected disaster. Their ship suddenly lost control and plummeted from the sky, eventually landing on a mysterious floating island—"STRONG WORLD".
Due to the violent collision with their ship, the Straw Hat Pirates were scattered across the island. They had to face attacks from various evolved and ferocious rare beasts, which were far more ferocious and powerful than ordinary wild animals, posing a tremendous challenge to the Straw Hat Pirates.
Meanwhile, Shiki hadn't forgotten his target—Nami. Using his powerful ability, "Lion's Roar: Earth Roll," he trapped Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, and the others, preventing their escape. Then, he offered Nami a condition: he would release her companions if she joined his pirate crew.
Faced with Shiki's threats and inducements, Nami was caught in a dilemma. On one hand, she didn't want to betray her comrades, but on the other hand, she was worried about their safety. After a fierce internal struggle, Nami ultimately chose to refuse Shiki's demands.
However, Shiki did not give up easily. He dispatched fifty captains and two thousand crew members from his pirate crews to launch a fierce attack on the Straw Hat Pirates. He himself left the battlefield first.
During the battle, Usopp and Chopper unexpectedly discovered a mysterious fruit called "IQ." This fruit seems to possess immense power, capable of enhancing one's intelligence and abilities. Just as they were about to enjoy the fruit, Shiki suddenly appeared, attempting to seal them away again with "Lion's Might: Palace Scroll."
Just at the critical moment, Luffy arrived in time, using his Haki to instantly shatter Shiki's attack and rescue Usopp and Chopper. Immediately afterwards, a thrilling and intense battle ensued.
During the battle, Shiki displayed his astonishing strength. He not only easily withstood attacks from Luffy and his crew but also unleashed various powerful techniques, such as the "Wave Slash." In one instance, he used the Wave Slash to cleave a massive waterfall in two, a scene that shocked everyone.
Then, using "Float," he turned the water into a giant water ball to trap Luffy, and even used "Lion's Thousand Cut Valley" in an attempt to kill him, but he failed. At this moment, a storm broke out, and finally, Luffy used Gear Third "Gum-Gum Giant Thunder Axe" with the thunderclouds to shatter the "STRONG WORLD" earth along with Shiki's ambition.
After falling from a great height, Shiki was discovered by the Navy fleet led by Onigumo. Having lost his fighting ability and consciousness, Shiki was arrested by the Navy once again.
Honestly, if it weren't for the movie, but rather at that point in the original story, if Luffy had encountered him, there would probably have been only one outcome: the entire Straw Hat Pirates would have been wiped out. Thinking of this, Shiki couldn't help but gasp.
"Hoo!" He took a deep breath, trying to calm the fear in his heart. However, this feeling lingered, and he couldn't shake it off. You see, when he faced formidable enemies like Roger, Whitebeard, and Red Earl, he had never felt the slightest fear.
But now, an unprecedented fear surged within him. He first glanced at Aini, the person he had just briefly sparred with. Although the fight was short, Aini's strength had been fully revealed. With his current strength, he was no match for Aini in a one-on-one situation. However, if he was determined to escape, Aini shouldn't be able to stop him; after all, no matter how strong the opponent was, he couldn't completely restrict his movements.
However, to Golden Lion's surprise, the guy who had been standing aside watching the fight was also a formidable opponent. His gaze slowly fell on Don Achino, and he secretly pondered just how strong the other man was.
