Nami wasn't particularly afraid.
Because she and Roland were both lightning ability users.
With the speed of lightning, they could easily escape before the island impact.
It's just that...
From beginning to end, Roland had no intention of avoiding its sharp edge.
Facing the island plummeting down.
Roland advanced instead of retreating, stepping on the atmosphere and ascending higher and higher.
Crimson-black lightning continuously surged from his body.
It filled the sky, transforming into a boundless sea of crimson-black lightning.
Roar! Roar!!!
Within the crimson-black sea of lightning, it was as if a giant dragon was roaring.
The next second.
A giant dragon truly appeared.
The Thunder Dragon King, entirely woven from crimson-black lightning, leaped out of the sea of lightning.
Its majestic and magnificent body was enough to make countless people in the world feel fear and tremble.
At some point, Roland had already appeared right in the center of the Thunder Dragon King's brow.
He rode the crimson-black lightning giant dragon and the boundless sea of lightning, soaring upward against the descent.
Finally, the two sides met and touched.
At the Thunder Dragon King's rhomboid brow, Roland threw a punch.
Roar~
The Thunder Dragon King roared and swung its dragon claws.
Thunder Dragon King Secret Art—Crimson Imperial Thunder!!!
Boom!!!
With one punch.
Heaven and Earth trembled.
Space and time seemed to solidify.
Heaven and Earth fell silent at this moment.
A lightning glow, even more brilliant than the sun, bloomed.
The island, shattered!!!
Boom!
Rumble!
A terrifying roar, like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking, resounded across the heavens.
Under Golden Lion Shiki's shocked and terrified gaze.
His last and strongest ultimate move, the island fall, turned into island pulverization.
It wasn't a simple island being cracked and split in two, but a true and complete pulverization.
Under Thunder Dragon King Roland's supremely powerful punch, the entire island was shattered.
The sky brightened again, and countless large and small broken stones rained down.
"Oh, oh, oh, Captain is mighty~"
Nami's small face flushed red, and she danced with excitement, cheering joyfully.
"This... this kind of thing..."
Looking at the vanished island, Golden Lion Shiki's expression was frozen.
A storm of shock swept through his entire being, from the inside out.
He clearly knew the power and terror of the Emperors who ruled the sea.
Just one island, it was highly probable it wouldn't kill Roland.
Golden Lion Shiki had envisioned many possibilities.
The greatest possibility was that Roland would escape with Nami before the island fell.
Even so, it wouldn't matter; he could still use the cover of the island collision to retreat.
It's just that...
Golden Lion Shiki never expected it.
Roland would actually shatter an entire island with a single punch.
No matter what, this kind of thing was simply too exaggerated and unreal.
In Golden Lion Shiki's many years of life, no one had ever been able to achieve such a feat.
Even Whitebeard, who possessed the strongest Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, could absolutely not do it.
At most, Whitebeard could rely on the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's unparalleled destructive power to crack the island into several halves.
However...
Roland had done it.
What kind of immense power was this.
Even if he hadn't been restricted by the rudder on his head, and hadn't aged.
Even if he recovered his full strength now.
He would still be utterly defenseless before Roland.
Because this man's true strength far exceeded everyone's expectations.
"What's wrong? Have you given up? Not planning to run away anymore?"
Roland's faint voice exploded in Golden Lion's ears.
Along with it, the majestic heavenly might of lightning also exploded.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck Golden Lion Shiki.
Golden Lion Shiki's body instantly turned charred black.
His iconic golden hair stood up, blackened and bristling.
Bang!
Under the paralysis of the lightning.
He lost control of his body and involuntarily fell.
He smashed into the Floating Island plaza, creating a not-too-large, not-too-small pit.
"Gyahaha... Gyahahahahaha"
Even though he knew death was imminent, Golden Lion Shiki still laughed aloud.
"It's too late, even if you kill me, Cocoyasi Village won't come back, and the villagers won't come back!"
"Who told you Cocoyasi Village has been destroyed?"
Roland sneered.
"Thanks to the backup plan arranged by the Captain, Nojiko and everyone in the village are all alive and well!"
Nami said happily.
"What..."
Golden Lion Shiki's eyes widened in anger, the smile on his face vanished, and before he could continue to question or say anything.
Crack!!!
Rumble!
Several thick crimson-black lightning pillars struck consecutively, reducing Golden Lion Shiki to ashes.
The flying great pirate of the previous era, thus, completely met his end!!!
Rumble rumble rumble!
The Floating Island, having lost the control of its ability user, plummeted towards the sea!!!
