Chapter 131: Determination of the Will Content of Armament Haki
At that time, Li De's idea was that if Victoria really chose the Floating Fruit, he would give Victoria the statue of the Golden Dwarf King to use as a weapon.

After all, that thing is not big in size, but it is incredibly heavy. After being given powerful maneuverability and speed by the power of the Float-Float Fruit, even if a dragon is hit, it will at least have broken bones.

"Boss, I understand." Delta replied with a smile.

After all, she still prefers the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to the Float-Tremor Fruit.

"The next hunt will be led by me, my sister and Zeta." Li De said after a little thought.

Here, Reed has to support Claire, while Zeta needs to guard against the escape of the Golden Lion Shiki.

There was really no need for the rest of the people to go up. After all, this time the main focus was on air combat, and the women who could only move using the Moon Step were definitely not as flexible as the Golden Lion in mid-air.

In addition, Reed also needs a few people to stay behind to help Kalina look after the Pure White Knight. You know, once the Golden Lion dies, those floating islands will fall down and cause a huge tsunami.

This is also the reason why Li De signaled Kalina to lower the sails and stop the ship when they were far enough away from the floating island on the sea.

"Yes, master!" The Beta girls replied immediately.

In fact, they also wanted to go to the scene to watch the game, but some things were not good to show in front of Kalina.

Otherwise, just pack up the Pure White Knight and everyone can go up to watch the battle.

After saying that, Reed, Claire and Zeta flew towards the floating island.

After a while, the three of them arrived above the main island where the laboratory was built.

"Sid, then I'll start!" Sensing a powerful aura on the island, Claire said to Reed with high fighting spirit.

"Then I'm looking forward to my sister's gorgeous performance." Li De said with a smile.

"Then watch carefully!" Claire said, and drew out the sword she carried with her.

Then he released all the restrained aura, transferred the dark magic power to the sword, and then swung it vigorously at the building not far away.

"Golden Lion, get out here!"

The special amplifying magic rushed straight toward the building with a huge slash.

Boom!

The next second, a huge explosion occurred less than ten meters in front of the building. The powerful shock wave spread out and immediately crushed the nearby buildings into ruins.

In fact, Claire didn't need to amplify the magic golden lion to detect Claire's attack the moment she attacked.

After all, he is the only powerful person who possesses domineering aura on this island. Now that a second aura has suddenly appeared, it is impossible for the Golden Lion to not use his Observation Haki to sense it.

Then Claire's huge slash almost made him spit out the wine he was drinking.

Of course, fighting is commonplace for the strong men of the older generation. Although Golden Lion hasn't had a serious fight with anyone for almost twenty years, the fighting instinct has been engraved into his bones, so he reacted immediately when he was attacked.

The famous sword Sakura Ten on his leg was wrapped in a strong armed color domineering aura, and the Golden Lion kicked in the direction of Claire's slashing attack.

The next second, the slashing kick from the Golden Lion directly cut through the wall of his stronghold, and then collided violently with Claire's slashing attack about ten meters outside the stronghold.

"Who are you?" Along with the voice, a man with blond hair and a ship's rudder on his head flew out of the building.

To be honest, the Golden Lion was very angry at this moment.

After all, he is a man called a lion, and this lion does not only refer to his life, but also to his temper.

Among the lions on the prairie, how many have good tempers?
They often fight each other internally for territory and are even more domineering externally.

Haven’t you seen that when Director Lie jumps, he is often pressed to the ground to treat lumbar disc herniation or pharyngitis.

Although this lion is old, its ferocity is still as great as before.

The reason why he didn't fight with Claire the moment he rushed out was mainly because Reed and Zeta beside Claire were both floating in the air and looking at him.

Compared to Claire who stands on auspicious clouds, Reed relies on telekinesis, and Zeta is even more exaggerated. She can stand high in the air without any external force when she turns into lightning, just like the Navy Admiral Kizaru.

It was because of sensing this scene that Golden Lion was surprised. After all, there are not many devil fruits with the ability to fly in the world of pirates.

It was impossible for the Golden Lion not to be surprised and astonished to encounter three of them at once.

"You'll have to die if you ask so many questions!" Claire was in no mood to explain. She crossed the distance of confrontation in a few steps, raised her knife and chopped at the golden lion.

"Looking for death!" Seeing Claire taking action directly, Golden Lion was so angry that his forehead hurt.

Youngsters nowadays don't know how to respect their seniors. Not only do they launch unethical sneak attacks right at the start, but now they don't even give the seniors a chance to speak their lines. Do the seniors not want any roles?

In this case, it is necessary to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

The body suddenly rose a certain distance, and the Muku Sword was wrapped with the Armament Haki and the Conqueror Haki as well.

Then the golden lion kicked Claire who was running towards him.

boom!
The next second, before the two swords had time to collide, the domineering aura and mutated magic power attached to the swords collided with each other first.

Twenty years ago, this scene was not uncommon on the sea, and the creators of the classic scene were Roger and Whitebeard.

Compared with those two powerful men from the original pirate era, the scene created by Claire and Golden Lion was much inferior.

The biggest difference here is that the collision between the two energies lasts for too short a time.

It’s not that the Golden Lion is declining too quickly in old age, but that Claire is not good enough.

Although Claire experienced a mutation in her magic, which gave her own magic the characteristics of armed color.

But it was also because of this that Claire was at a disadvantage in the current collision.

In the competition of domineering color, Claire is not inferior to Golden Lion. In fact, because of Long Wei, Claire is slightly stronger than Golden Lion in the competition of domineering color.

It's a pity that adding the Conqueror's Haki to the attack does not increase the attack power.

The biggest feature of Conqueror's Haki is that it can shock the opponent's soul and create a flaw for the opponent.

After all, between truly strong men, victory or defeat can be determined by just a moment of distraction.

It is because of this that the masters of the Four Emperors can crush others.

Of course, this situation is not absolute.

Because if it is really that absolute, the three admirals of the navy will be powerless to fight against the four emperors.

Therefore, another variable is involved here, the will of armed color.

Even if they are both armed colors, there are differences in willpower.

There are large quantities, like Pica, so what if his entire body is covered with armament color?

There were three cuts left by Zoro's three swords wrapped with a small amount of armament Haki.

People with strong enough will contained in their Armament Haki, such as Mihawk, can fight against Red-Haired Shanks.

This is also the only way for a two-color domineering strongman to fight against a three-color domineering strongman.

Of course, no matter how strong the will contained in the Armament Haki is, or how hard it is after being entangled, it can never have the soul-stirring effect of the Conqueror Haki. At most, it can only prevent oneself from being affected by the Conqueror Haki, and that's all.

However, having said that, it is precisely because Armament Haki involves the strength of will that Claire is at an absolute disadvantage.

After all, her magic power had only been mutated for a short time, and she had been practicing more before, rather than fighting against strong men. The willpower contained in her magic power was naturally far inferior to that of the middle-generation strong men, not to mention the old-generation strong men like Golden Lion.

This is why the scene of collapse occurred immediately after the collision with the armed color with stronger will.

Clang! boom!
The next second, the Mu Ku sword pressed down on Claire's sword, and then swept Claire back about ten meters.

"Huh" Seeing this scene, the Golden Lion couldn't help but make a sound in surprise.

Because in previous years, it was normal for those who were not as good as me in the domineering competition to be chopped away by a sword.

The willpower contained in the domineering aura of the woman in front of him was obviously very weak, just like a rookie who had just entered the new world those years ago.

However, his attack only pushed the opponent back about ten meters, which was a result that Golden Lion could not accept.

Am I old?
No! wrong!

There is something wrong with this woman!
The Golden Lion will not admit that he is old, even though this is an objective fact.

But another fact that cannot be ignored is the opponent's domineering color and strength.

It was precisely because he was not at a disadvantage in the Conqueror Haki competition that he was not caught by himself. And that unreasonable strength was the reason why he only retreated a short distance after his Armament Haki was defeated.

There is another thing that cannot be ignored, and that is weapons.

There's something wrong with the opponent's weapon. After being hit like this, there's no visible damage. It doesn't make sense.

Even if it was a famous sword of the supreme great sword level, it would be impossible for it to remain unscathed after taking such a blow at the moment when its armament color was broken.

Of course something is wrong. It is impossible for Li De to treat his woman badly. Although Li De did not have time to replace her weapons in the real world, more than a year has passed since he came to the pirate world.

Even if Reed is very busy, he will definitely spare some time to forge a sword with indestructible properties for Claire.

Even if Reed forgot, Claire's original sword would remind him.

Who said that the standard sword issued by the academy could not withstand Claire's surge in strength?

The camera pulls back to look at the scene, and Claire, who was defeated, is now looking a little red in the face!
It wasn't that she suffered internal injuries, but she felt embarrassed. It was her fault for bragging too early.

Of course, Claire was not angry at the moment.

Only by understanding the gap and facing it can we catch up with it.

Moreover, Claire realized that her armament color was inferior to that of the old man opposite her almost at the moment of being defeated.

Combining this with Reed's description of the Armament Haki, Claire knew where she was lacking.

It turns out that Sid let me fight because he discovered this.

Claire thought for a moment and immediately thought that his dear brother had discovered the deficiency in his Armament Haki, so he specially found a strong man for him to receive the beating of his will.

Why do people in the pirate world often say that if you want to become stronger, you must fight with stronger people.

This is the reason. Only when the will collides with that of a stronger person can the will contained therein become more tenacious and powerful.

Now that you understand this, there is no need to think too much. Just do it.

Claire then gathered her armed color once again and rushed towards the golden lion.

Li De, who was watching this scene, looked much brighter, while Zeta beside him seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems that he has understood the real reason why his strength is not as good as Delta's.

As the battle continued, the two men fought from the sky to the ground, and then back to the sky again.

The more the Golden Lion fought, the more frightened he became, because he felt that the will contained in the armament color of the woman he was fighting was increasing in a way that went against common sense.

It’s not like he hasn’t encountered a rookie whose Armament Haki becomes stronger after fighting with a strong opponent, but that possibility basically only occurs after the battle is over and his confidence has not been hit.

It seems that this kind of person is still improving in battle. This is the first time that Golden Lion has seen such a person.

Reed was not surprised by this situation, because before the battle, he had equipped Claire with this skill.

In addition, the update of the system ability value panel is not limited by divine blood, so any increase in strength will be reflected in the value.

Once the two are combined, the two will naturally become stronger and stronger.

Of course, these two points are just objective catalysts. The real reason lies in one thing: Claire's serious brother-control mentality!
The mentality of wanting to become stronger and protect Li De is the real driving force of the transformation.

"Master, this old pirate seems to have become weaker." Zeta said to Li De through telepathy.

"Although he is indeed much weaker than in his prime, it is not that he has become weaker at this moment, but that the more he fights, the stronger the will contained in his sister's magic power becomes. In addition to the strong will and rich combat experience that can suppress the sister, the physical strength of the Golden Lion is still unknown, after all, the sister has less time to practice.

Apart from these, he is inferior to his sister in all other aspects. He is old and weak, and his strength, speed, and reaction are all inferior to his sister. His biggest advantage, the domineering color that can crush ordinary people, has also been taken over by his sister. In addition, he cut off his own legs and used the two swords as extensions of his legs, which actually ruined the powerful swordsmanship that countless people feared.

Although the leg strength is indeed stronger than the arm, the flexibility is far inferior. After all, I have never heard that the Golden Lion is good at kicking in physical skills. If the pirate boss of the Barati restaurant on the sea uses these two swords, it will definitely cause more trouble to my sister. "Li De commented slowly.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Golden Lion was defeated in the movie.

Luffy cheating is just one reason, the main reason is that he has ruined his swordsmanship.

Yes, at this moment his legs were indeed capable of chopping waves, but so what?

Besides Chop and Chop's enhanced version, Lion Chikiri Ya, are there any other moves?
The range of motion of the two thighs is limited and they are far less flexible than the hands. How can they perform the same sword skills as in the past?

If he were to use two swords to create a four-sword style, Li De might even look up to Golden Lion and go into battle himself.

After all, the golden lion with swords in both hands is not on the same level of strength.

But the Golden Lion seemed to have never thought about this. If he didn't lose in the end, who would lose?

It seems that the rudder on his head has had a profound impact on this old pirate.

"Master, why doesn't he use the power of the Float-Float Fruit?" Zeta looked at the battle on the field and asked Li De with some confusion.

"It's not that I don't want to use it, but I can't use it." Li De smiled and shook his head.

"Can't be used?!" Zeta was a little confused.

"The way devil fruit users use their abilities is different from the way we consume magic power. They mainly consume physical strength. If consuming physical strength can achieve an effect, then it's fine to use it. After all, a variety of fighting methods are indeed necessary when you are in a stalemate with your opponent. But the Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit ability is only suitable for large scenes, but not very suitable for close combat." Li De answered Zeta's doubts.

After all, using an island to smash people is indeed a big scene, but if it fails to hit anyone, wouldn't the physical energy used to move the island be wasted?

But the Golden Lion never seemed to have thought of using the power of the Float-Float Fruit on small objects like flying knives.

Without the restrictions on the enemy at close range, Claire can naturally fight freely.

But the current situation is different from the time when he was at the Naval Headquarters. There are not so many props of suitable sizes for Golden Lion to use.

So at this moment in the fight, Golden Lion did not use the ability of the devil fruit. It was not that he did not want to use it, but that there was no suitable opportunity. In addition, Claire was pressing him step by step and did not leave him much energy to use his ability.

After all, using abilities requires distraction, which is completely different from the battle with Luffy in the movie.

Claire doesn't have Luffy's weakness in air combat, so she needs a mount to make up for it.

Although the auspicious cloud under her feet is not large, it can support Claire's various movements, including but not limited to [Shave].

This makes Claire feel no different in the sky than on the ground.
