Akira's body turned into golden light the night and shot to the sky. He passed through the clouds almost instantly.
After flying for a while at light speed, dozens of floating islands appeared in his sight. These islands were different in size, some were large, and some were small.
"This is... the Flying Pirates of Shiki the Golden Lion!"
Akira was stunned for a moment as he looked at the breathtaking view in front of him.
Then, his feet turned into golden light and instantly moved toward the floating islands.
He was moving toward the islands in front of him with excitement.
The floating islands are thousands of meters above the ground.
The islands were surrounded by beautiful light green water, and under the sunlight, it reflected colorful rainbows.
As Akira moved between these islands, he felt as if he had entered a fantasy-like world.
These marvelous islands are called Merveille and are also known as the "Hidden Land in the Clouds".
"Shiki-sama, Shiki-sama..." An excited voice came, followed by a weird footsteps sound. A scientist dressed as a clown ran toward Shiki and said excitedly: "I found a new evolutionary form!"
"Dr. Indigo, that's good news. Tell me what you find." The blonde man with a rudder on his head said.
Dr. Indigo raised the cage that he was holding in his hand. Inside it was a puppy with a unique white coat marked with black-colored spots.
It was a Dalmatian but not a complete one.
"This is..." Shiki's eyes widened, and he shouted in surprise: "You succeed!"
"You created a new species between man and dog. Well done, Dr. Indigo!"
The creature in the cage has the body of a young Dalmatian and a head of a human child.
Then, the two looked at each other. And started laughing loudly.
Just then, a gorilla in pink walked in, started hammering its chest, and screaming "wow wow", as if it was trying to say something.
Dr. Indigo looked at it for a while, and he eventually understood what it was trying to say: "Are you an idiot? How can people fly this high in the sky?"
"Wow! Woow! Wooww!"
"Oh!" Dr. Indigo listened carefully and then exclaimed: "You mean a human being with golden light under his feet reached here?!"
"A man with a golden light under his feet?" Shiki muttered in a low voice.
He narrowed his eyes: "It's interesting. Could it be that kid from the Navy?"
....
On the square outside the main hall, many members of the Golden Lion Pirates gathered together.
They were looking up at where Akira was standing curiously.
It's the first time they've seen that someone can reach this high in the sky without wings other than their captain.
In the next second, Shiki also came out.
"A man without wings!" Shiki glanced at Akira and thought in his heart.
"How can this guy reach this high without wings! Is it a devil fruit like captain's?" Dr. Indigo was standing beside Shiki thought.
They all were looking at Akira curiously.
"Golden Lion Shiki?" Akira asked with a smile.
"Flash kid, are you talking to me?" Shiki asked with an arrogant smile.
Akira sneered and said: "I didn't expect you to be hiding here!"
"I'm not hiding here. This's my base, and here I plan for everything like conquering the world!"
Shiki fought back and asked:
"Hey, kid, is the light kid of the Navy dead?"
As one of the previous overlords of the sea, Shiki is well-informed about the strong people's abilities of the Navy.
"Not yet, but I took away some of his powers."
Akira replied casually.
"Young people these days don't know their limits..." Shiki shook his head with disappointment and said.
"We'll see about that…."
Then, golden lights suddenly started gathering in Akira's hand. He aimed it at Shiki…
"Laser Cannon!"
"Boom!"
The laser shot at where Shiki was standing like a cannon. The whole island trembled slightly because of the furious attack. The flying smoke and dust from the destroyed ground were blocking everyone's vision.
"Shiki-sama, Shiki-sama!" The members of the Golden Lion Pirates were shocked. And when they looked at Akira's youthful face, their hearts trembled in fear.
How can this young man possess such terrifying strength?!
"Shiki-sama won't be hurt by such an attack, right?"
"As expected of a Logia-type Devil Fruit. You have some strength, kid!" Shiki's voice came from the dust.
After the dust and smoke spread away, Shiki appeared in front of them with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Amazing fighting instinct!" Akira complimented and then said:
"I said, Borsalino isn't dead. I just took a part of his devil fruit ability."
"I haven't heard such a thing before. The sea is full of wonders."
Shiki said in amazement and then continued:
"You have developed your fruit ability very well, but you are still far from being my opponent!"
"Chop!"
Shiki raised his left leg while he was standing in the air and slashed it. A huge golden half-moon-shaped sword energy swiftly shot toward Akira.
Fortunately, Akira opened his Manekygo Sharingan from the beginning, so he saw Shiki's attack very clearly.
"Such weak slash. You are getting old, Golden Lion Shiki." Akira said with a chuckle.
"You don't need to be cocky. It's just a normal slash."
"This era is too disappointing. I will let you see what kind of strength a true pirate would have in my era!"
"Shishi: Senjindani!" Shiki swung both his feet, and in an instant, he kicked out a wave of slashes toward Akira.
"Shiki-sama, don't mess with us!"
"Run. Shiki-sama is angry!"
The members of the Golden Lion Pirates fled away in a panic, but there were quite a few unlucky ones who couldn't run away and were affected by the slashes storm.
"Is this old guy really disabled?!" Akira's face filled with surprise.
This's the first time he flights against a Great Swordsman-level pirate.
"How on earth did Luffy beat this guy?"
"Aha? Did he avoid it? Then let's try..." Shiki said to himself.
He didn't pay any attention to his subordinates' screams, his body floated up slightly, and his feet were staggered as if he was going to attack again.
"Come again? I can't hide like this anymore!" Akira raised his left hand.
"Laser!"
The laser beam hit Shiki's swords sending him a few steps backward.
"How? My attack isn't that powerful..."
"Even his Armament Haki is somewhat weak!"
"Yes! Controlling all these islands at the same time makes you so weak... you cannot even control your Armament Haki properly!"
"Shut up! I'm Shiki, the Golden Lion!" He roared furiously.
"I am the one who will control the world!" Saying that he suddenly turned his right hand down.
"Shishi Odoshi!"
He used his fruit ability to break open the ground and fashion the debris into the shape of lion heads.
"Roar!"
The lion heads let out a loud roar and rushed toward Akira.
