One Piece: Reborn in Ohara

Now—

Under Rob's mighty Observation Haki.

In the distant sky, pirate ships are flying one after another, sailing slowly. Judging by their altitude, their target isn't this island but the Road's crown!

"Hahaha—"

Perceiving those pirate ships flying in the air, Rob laughed heartily:

"I've been looking for you for so long without any news. In the end, I rest here for a few days and meet you!"

To fly so many pirate ships in the air, there's no one else but Shiki. It's not that the Press-Press fruit abilities can't achieve this level, but he is not a pirate and could never become a pirate, so only Shiki can do this.

Pat—

He directly lifted Shinto and pinned it to his waist casually.

Thump

Rob's figure flashed, and he fell directly from the air towards the Angel, now a large four-masted sailing ship docked on the sea.

Moments later—

Crash!

In the turbulence of the sea, on the front and rear sides of the huge Angel's hull, two cute white angel wing-shaped devices, big and small, stretched out. As a floating force surged, the Angel directly broke away from the sea surface, slowly lifting into the sky.

Simultaneously entering air mode, the Angel also enters combat mode, with a diamond-like film appearing on the outside of the hull, thanks to the Twinkle-Twinkle fruit loaded on the hull.

And then—

Air cannons, electromagnetic cannons, and flame cannons directly entered the energy storage state.

On the large grassy deck above, both Robin and Uta have already put on their combat uniforms, with serious expressions on their faces. Makino, also in a combat uniform, steps forward, wearing earthquake gloves and holding a white cloak.

She gently drapes a white cape over Rob.

With a gentle smile on Makino's face:

"Alright!"

Nodding, Rob put on a pair of gloves with exposed fingers, This is the weapon made from Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, he looked at the front of the Angel with burning eyes. At the end of his line of sight in the sky, a dozen black spots were already appearing.

After carefully observing those little black dots, Rob realized they were pirate ships flying in the air.

Rob said:

"'Golden Lion' Shiki's men and his fleet—I leave them to you and Xiaobai! As for Shiki himself, let me handle him! You can't capture Shiki alive with your current strenght!"

Hearing Rob's words, Robin and the others nodded seriously, indicating they understood.

From the moment they started searching for Shiki's whereabouts, Rob had already detailed Shiki's abilities, the existence of the Golden Lion Pirates, and had made a battle plan.

At this moment, none of the three had any objections to Rob's arrangement as per the original battle plan.

As for why Shiki should be kept alive instead of killed, and if Shiki could be killed?

He can be killed completely, and it wouldn't take too much effort. Rob can handle this old-time strong man who has weakened significantly!

However, after killing, the Float-Float Fruit will be reborn somewhere in the sea, and Rob isn't sure if he can still extract the blood factor from Shiki's body after his death to make an artificial Devil Fruit.

So to prevent unexpected situations, Rob intends not to kill Shiki and even prevent him from self-destructing before obtaining the Float-Float Fruit!

This task is very challenging.

No matter what, Shiki is the former overlord of the last era, who once wielded immense power.

Even though his strength has declined a lot now, it's still quite a challenging task to completely disable Shiki and prevent him from committing suicide while keeping him alive.

Soon.

With the fleet of the Golden Lion Pirates moving forward at an unabated speed, and the Angel also flying in the opposite direction, the two sides would soon clearly see each other.

Now—

On the main ship of the Golden Lion Pirates.

With a cigar in his mouth, a ship rudder stuck above his head, Shiki, with blond hair like a lion and two famous swords as prosthetic legs, looked at the approaching Angel.

Confused:

"What is that? A ship? How dare they stand in front of me! Order all ships to fire at it and blow it to pieces!"

After hearing Shiki's order, a subordinate next to him replied with a serious face:

"Yes, boss!"

Once the order was conveyed.

"Fuu—"

The disdainful Golden Lion exhaled a smoke ring and looked at the Angel getting closer:

"What arrogance, daring to let their ship fly in the sky like mine!"

Quickly, the fleet of the Golden Lion Pirates changed its formation, beginning to show a semi-encircled formation. The turrets on each pirate ship quickly turned around, aiming directly at the approaching Angel!

When the Angel entered the range of the cannons, all the pirate ships attacked without hesitation!

At the bow of the Angel, Rob saw this scene, his expression remaining calm:

"It's really domineering! Golden Lion... just met and already wants to hit us!"

Step forward.

Rob had a smile on his face:

"I'll leave the pirate fleet to you! Fight however you want, I'll take care of the Golden Lion."

After hearing what Rob said, Robin, Uta, and Makino all nodded.

They exhorted to Rob:

"Oni-chan (Ni-chan) (Rob-kun), be careful!"

Nodding, Rob didn't say much more. The three of them didn't need too many exhorting words now.

A Golden Lion Pirate group that had lost its aggressiveness would not be an opponent for Robin and the others. No matter how they fought, they wouldn't lose this battle, and they wouldn't have any accidents!

The thunder on his body surged, and Rob's figure, like a bolt of lightning, jumped directly from the Angel, turning into a bolt of lightning, and flew directly towards the main ship with the yellow Golden Lion head where Shiki was!

"Um?!"

Seeing Rob coming like thunder and lightning, Shiki's expression was startled:

"A Devil Fruit user?"

Just when Shiki was still wondering.

Bang—

Amidst the thunder, Rob's figure had already appeared in front of the main ship with the yellow Golden Lion head.

"Yo!"

Rob looked at the startled Golden Lion with a cold smile on his face.

Shouted:

"'Golden Lion' Shiki!"

The voice fell.

Rob directly raised his hand and pulled out Shinto from his waist.

The next moment, without hesitation, Rob moved towards Shiki, who was still in a state of shock, and directly slashed down with a sword entwined with Conqueror's Haki!

"Divine Avoidance!"

Zheng

The terrifying slash entwined with Conqueror's Haki instantly slashed towards the yellow Golden Lion-headed pirate ship.

Rob's terrifying Conqueror's Haki instantly knocked out the pirates on the ship. The Golden Lion Pirates, who hadn't had time to put up their defenses, all fell to the ground in a coma, foaming at the mouth.

Bang

This slash also completely destroyed Shiki's pirate ship, a vessel that had been with him for many years.

Soon, when all the commotion subsided, the remnants of the yellow Golden Lion pirate ship, shattered by Rob, didn't fall into the sea below but remained suspended in the air!

Stepping on a cloud of flames, Rob looked calmly at Shiki, who was floating in the air with a slash wound that wasn't too deep but still bleeding. Blood dripped from the corner of Shiki's mouth.

Rob spoke:

"Nice to meet you! Let me introduce myself, my name is Rob - the one who will end your journey!"

Flying in the air, Shiki raised his hand to pat his head, which was a little shaken from the attack and Conqueror's Haki-infused "Divine Avoidance." He then looked at Rob with tyrannical eyes, a murderous smile on his face:

"Shihahaha... Are the youngsters nowadays so capable? Saying you end my life so casually! A newcomer like you, I've seen many over the years, and I don't even know your name!"

Rob raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by Shiki's words.

"It's been a long time since anyone talked to me like that! 'Golden Lion' Shiki, you're the first one in years... May I ask, how many years have you not paid attention to the happenings in the sea?"

Hearing Rob, Shiki looked at him and raised his hand casually. All the fragments of the yellow Golden Lion-headed pirate ship changed with his motion, aligning like sharp arrows aimed at Rob!

"You knowing my name means you're not an ordinary person on the sea!"

"But since Roger's death, there's been no one worth my attention in this sea! Maybe you're a newcomer who appeared recently, maybe you haven't met any real opponents!"

"So you think you're very powerful, invincible even! But don't forget!"

Bang—

With a big wave of Shiki's hand, all the debris of the yellow Golden Lion-headed pirate ship, like sharp arrows, shot towards Rob overwhelmingly.

He roared:

"I'm the Golden Lion!"

"Even Roger couldn't end my life, and you think you can? Come and see the power of the world's 'top'! Then go to hell! You damn brat out of nowhere!"
