One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 379 The Golden Lion Backs Down

Kaido, known as the "Beast King," is a powerful figure whose strength is renowned throughout the pirate world. Yet, even he hasn't been able to awaken his Zoan-type Devil Fruit. However, right before Shiki's eyes, this guy has actually succeeded in awakening his Zoan-type Devil Fruit—it's truly unbelievable!

What was even more shocking was the sheer terror of this guy's strength! Golden Lion felt a chill run down his spine; he began to realize that perhaps the era of him, Roger, and Whitebeard was truly over. The current generation of young people possessed strength beyond imagination, and their rapid growth even left Golden Lion feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Originally, Golden Lion had planned to use Aini's head and fame to launch his return to the sea, making his name known once again across the vast ocean. But who could have predicted that he would run into such a formidable opponent? Or perhaps, his ambition remained stuck in his youthful prime; he still believed he was at the peak of his power.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow. Just moments ago, he had been utterly defeated by this young man in a few moves, which jolted him awake and made him reassess his own strength and status.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he regretted it, it was too late. Now that he was here, how could Aini let him go so easily? Golden Lion knew this perfectly well. At this moment, he had no way to retreat and could only grit his teeth and charge forward. Just as he was about to activate his ability and prepare to launch another attack, Aini suddenly moved faster than him, striking like a ghost.

"Eight-Strike Fist!" With a furious roar, Aini swung a punch at the golden lion in the air. This punch seemed ordinary, but it actually contained a hidden secret, because it was thrown from a distance. However, at the very moment the punch was thrown, an extremely terrifying shockwave suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption.

Not only that, Enni also infused this shockwave with his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, further amplifying its power. This terrifying force, like a surging wave, swept towards Shiki with overwhelming force.

"Not good!" The Golden Lion's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he cried out inwardly. He never expected that Aini's punch would be so swift, even faster than his own. This sudden turn of events caught him completely off guard!

However, Golden Lion was, after all, a veteran powerhouse who had dominated the martial world for many years, and his reaction speed was unparalleled. At this critical moment, he quickly adjusted his state, preparing to meet Aini's thunderous attack.

His body spun rapidly in the air like a top, tracing a perfect arc, before he lashed out with a leg as swift as lightning. At the same time, the longsword in his hand streaked across the sky like a meteor, meeting Aini's thunderous attack head-on.

In an instant, a deafening roar resounded, as if the entire world was shaken. This was a collision of their full-force attacks, like two meteors colliding violently in the night sky, unleashing boundless energy.

Both were top-tier beings, their power and skill reaching their peak. Therefore, the power generated by this attack was terrifying beyond measure. The entire space seemed to be distorted by this force, and time itself seemed to freeze at that moment.

The sea beneath their feet seemed to be struck by an invisible, immense force, instantly creating waves nearly twenty meters high. These waves, like a ferocious beast, opened their gaping maw and swept outwards.

The deserted island that Aini had previously chosen appeared so fragile amidst the raging waves. Like a leaf, it was easily swallowed up by this powerful force, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed.

On the other side, the island that had been suspended by the Golden Lion's power was not spared either. The powerful impact was like a sharp sword, cleaving the island in two. These two sections of the island, losing their support, plummeted straight into the sea like kites with broken strings.

However, the fierce clash between the two did not stop there; instead, it intensified. In that instant, they almost simultaneously unleashed an even greater power, as if the entire space itself was shaken by this force.

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, resounded – "Boom!" This time, the Golden Lion's counterattack could no longer withstand such immense pressure. It should be noted that at this moment, Enni had already unleashed his most powerful strength.

He not only possesses the dual enhancements of his Dragon Man and Holy Sword forms, but also the signature Eight-Punch Fist technique and the power of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki. Furthermore, he has fused with the bloodlines of whale shark sharks, giants, and mink, bringing his physical strength to its absolute peak.

Taking all these factors into account, Enni's strength is practically unmatched. In comparison, an old, frail, and crippled Golden Lion is simply no match for him.

In the next instant, Shiki's counterattack was easily thwarted by Aini. Then, a shocking scene unfolded: Shiki's legs and sword completely lost control in front of Aini's fist, veering off course.

Aini's fist, like a cannonball, hurtled straight toward the other side of the Golden Lion with overwhelming force.

And what about the Golden Lion? His fist was equally unyielding, its momentum undiminished, as if he wanted to smash Ani's fist to pieces.

However, at this critical moment, the golden lion's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he cried out, "Oh no!"

It turned out that, although Aini's fist had not actually hit his body, through the brief exchange just now, Golden Lion had already gained a very clear understanding of the power of this punch.

He knew very well that if he were to be hit by that punch, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Golden Lion thought to himself, "Oh no!" He tried to dodge, but it was too late.

In that split second, the Golden Lion had no time to react. Helpless, he could only grit his teeth, tense all his muscles, and adjust his body to the best defensive state.

At the same time, a powerful burst of Armament Haki erupted from his body, rapidly wrapping around his chest like a surging wave.
