Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: Awakened Golden Lion

Is Mary Geoise easy to attack?

 

This question is actually quite ambiguous.

 

On one hand, as the residence of the World Nobles, the highest point in the world, and the location of the Five Elders and Imu, Mary Geoise should theoretically be equivalent to the largest and most robust area on the map.

 

Yet, Fisher Tiger still managed to sneak into Mary Geoise, set a fire, and released thousands of World Noble slaves.

 

But this doesn't mean Mary Geoise is a place to be slaughtered.

 

Fisher's success back then was largely due to the fact that the current three Admirals hadn't risen to prominence yet, and Fisher's actions simply didn't catch the attention of the Five Elders, Imu, or the CP0 elite.

 

At that time, it might have coincided with certain entanglements, coupled with Mary Geoise's relaxed vigilance due to never having been attacked, allowing Fisher to accomplish this unimaginable feat.

 

However, attacking Mary Geoise now would be much more difficult.

 

In the Levely arc, Sabo and his group were far stronger than Fisher, yet they only dared to secretly infiltrate.

 

Seeing Kuma being casually humiliated as a slave by the World Nobles, they could only choose to temporarily endure.

 

Because they knew that rashly imitating Fisher's actions would likely prevent them from leaving Mary Geoise alive.

 

Once Mary Geoise is in trouble, the Marines would definitely send Kizaru over immediately.

 

If one World Noble is attacked, an Admiral is dispatched.

 

If the World Nobles' home is raided, it wouldn't be surprising for all three Admirals to be mobilized.

 

Although letting Shiki smash this hundred-million-ton island into Mary Geoise was a tempting prospect, Shin clearly understood that such a foolhardy act would be suicidal.

 

Regardless of whether the unknown Imu would make a move, even in the most optimistic scenaShin, if Mary Geoise and the Red Line were indeed crushed by this island, their group would probably not be able to escape.

 

Kaido was right overhead now.

 

Shin didn't dare to rashly escape in Barbatos.

 

If Kaido attracted the Admirals' firepower, it would be fine, but if he chased Shin's large target, Shin himself wouldn't have any peace.

 

Moreover, his current condition was extremely poor, so the success rate of escaping in Barbatos was low.

 

His well-formulated plan did not include such risky behavior, especially when he had no idea about the strength of Imu-sama.

 

The old lion could die, but not here, and not now.

 

He should die more valuably, more heroically, and in a way that would bring Shin...

 

a few more points.

 

Realizing this, Luffy and his crew immediately sprang into action.

 

Although the future Fifth Emperor still naively suggested, "Couldn't we just deal with that big mud eel?", he finally stopped his suicidal antics after Sanji hit him on the head.

 

Even with the movie's buff, it wasn't omnipotent.

 

Besides, the Kaido overhead wasn't the movie Kaido, but the one Shin had dragged out of the main story.

 

"SUPER...megaphone!"

 

Franky brought his arms together, striking a strange pose.

 

Then, a small door opened in his crotch, and a large loudspeaker emerged in this nonsensical and abstract manner.

 

Shin glanced at the loudspeaker with disdain, then turned back to Luffy's crew.

 

"Which one of you has the most punchable voice?"

 

"Punchable? What does that mean?"

 

"Simply put, it means a voice that makes you want to kill the speaker."

 

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zoro and Sanji were at each other's throats.

 

Both "Mr. Moss Head" and "Stupid Cook" believed the other was undoubtedly the most irritating person on the entire crew.

 

"Alright, stop arguing. You'll do."

 

Shin casually pointed at Zoro, tossed him the loudspeaker, and said,

 

"Test the sound first. Say 'Mayonnaise~~~' Drag out the end of the word."

 

"Why would I do something so idiotic? Alright, cough cough... Mayonnaise~~~~"

 

A resigned Zoro could only say it in a drawn-out, irritating voice, and the live stream comments, which Shin had forgotten about, immediately exploded.

 

"Hahahahahahaha, isn't that Hijikata Toushirou? Hahahahaha."

 

"Mayonnaise idiot samurai hahahaha, shout 'Let's party' again! When are we getting Katakuri over here to shout 'Sugar'~~?"

 

".jpg"

 

Shin nodded in satisfaction.

 

It was indeed irritating enough.

 

It seemed Zoro had a knack for voice acting.

 

"Alright, next, you're going to shout out what I tell you, with an annoying, especially snarky tone."

 

On the floating island, just as Shiki had closed his eyes, preparing to embrace death, an extremely annoying, highly punchable voice echoed across the entire island.

 

"No way, no way, no way, is Shiki only this good? Is that it? Is that it, that it, that it?"

 

"Oh, he was captured by the Marines before, so never mind. Nobody actually praises Roger, right? No way, no way, no way, what kind of trash is Roger? He's just a poser."

 

"Please stop disgusting me. Shiki is in this state, Roger is nothing. I, Garp, would instantly kill him!"

 

A resigned Zoro spoke extremely sarcastic words in an infuriating voice.

 

The Straw Hats beside him looked extremely strange.

 

Sanji mumbled privately,

 

"I never knew Moss Head could say such annoying things."

 

Luffy's fists clenched in anger.

 

It was fortunate that he constantly thought of Zoro as his good friend, otherwise, if anyone else talked about the Pirate King so sarcastically, he would have punched them into the sky already.

 

"Unknowingly, I clenched my fists."

 

"An old master of sarcasm! Got that vibe, anyone who talks like that is probably a bit off."

 

"No way, no way, no way, someone actually praises Roger. See, he's flustered, flustered, flustered."

 

The masters of sarcasm in the bullet comments were having a blast, especially when this live stream footage was shared by some busybodies to foreign websites, and a certain voice actor saw Zoro's words.

 

Annoying, truly annoying.

 

He never thought he could speak in such an irritating manner.

 

"What did you say, brat!!!! You're asking to die!!!"

 

Shiki's veins instantly bulged, and he exploded into a furious rage like a lit torch.

 

Everyone has a sensitive spot deep down that they won't allow others to touch.

 

For Shiki, the one thing he absolutely couldn't tolerate anyone touching-was Roger.

 

You could say Shiki was no longer capable, call him a cripple, a brain-damaged fool, or even mock how miserably he lost back then.

 

He could even laugh those off.

 

But Roger was different.

 

That was the one thing Shiki could absolutely not allow anyone to insult.

 

The man who once defeated him, the man Shiki longed for but could not attain, Gol D.

 

Roger, his lifelong rival and the source of his pride.

 

He might have scoffed at Roger's title of Pirate King, resented why Roger didn't conquer the world with him, but he still took pride in being defeated by a man like Roger.

 

For over twenty years, he had lived relying on the memories of the past.

 

A man who had nothing, living off memories, relying on the memories of once contending with Roger, Whitebeard, Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr over the seas-the name Roger was the greatest epitome of his past.

 

He could charge into Marineford to prevent Roger's humiliation, and he could lie low for twenty years to avenge Roger's humiliation against the World Government.

 

How could such a man allow anyone to insult the greatest rival of his life?

 

This was the only...

 

sensitive spot of this old lion who had fallen to the depths.

 

"Lion: Thousand Grinding Valley!!!"

 

Countless golden sword slashes, far sharper and more dazzling than those unleashed against Kaido previously, tore towards Zoro's direction.

 

The enraged Shiki unleashed unprecedented power as if he had gone mad.

 

However, Kaido's gigantic shadow blocked the countless sharp sword slashes, exhaling Boro Breath that dissolved all the innumerable sword slashes.

 

"You're becoming like your old self, Shiki, you old bastard."

 

Kaido looked at Shiki before him, laughing maniacally with joy.

 

"Roger is dead. Newgate and I are also old. Yes, we are all just remnants of the old era. This era belongs to you, Kaido brat..."

 

Shiki slowly raised his hands, and his golden kimono fell from his body, revealing a scarred yet robust and mighty physique, enveloped by an incredibly powerful Armament Haki.

 

A violent and irresistible Conqueror's Haki emanated from Shiki.

 

If Kaido's Conqueror's Haki was like ostentatious dark clouds, then Shiki was like an aged lion, tearing apart anyone who provoked him as he approached death!

 

His beloved swords, "Oto" and "Kogarashi," which he used to replace his legs, detached from his legs and fell into Shiki's hands.

 

A sharp and powerful, overwhelming sword qi, radiating across all directions, erupted from those two swords, piercing the heavens and the earth!

 

He was once also a swordsman who traversed the seas.

 

Before his swords were discarded, before his swords were used as walking legs, he wielded these two swords, facing both Garp and Sengoku simultaneously!

 

His deep voice no longer carried the joy of madness.

 

He slowly raised his head, and his eyes burst forth with world-shaking Haki.

 

"Our era has passed. Roger died with his foolish title of Pirate King, but that doesn't mean you-can deny that era."

 

"That era, that belonged to us!"

 

"Lion: Myriad Grinding Valley!!!"
