He's in One Piece, but he's also part of the Phantom Troupe.

Chapter 47 Take this knee strike!

"boom--"

The punch pierced the air, and concentric white ripples spread out from the point of impact—

Kuroro's fist was completely black, a result of Armament Haki binding and hardening it.

Despite strategically underestimating this legendary pirate, Kuroro went all out in his attack, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"call out--!"

The golden lion was sent flying backward, unleashing powerful shockwaves. Like a cannonball, it crashed through groves of trees, traveling nearly a hundred meters before finally coming to a stop in front of the mountain.

"We succeeded!"

Bonnie watched this scene from afar, her eyes wide, and a look of joy quickly spread across her face.

However, before she could even feel happy, her excitement froze on her face.

Before the mountain, the golden lion slowly raised its head, its golden hair spreading out across its chest.

The skin on his chest was also completely black, clearly indicating that it was also Armament Haki!

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a defiant smile creeping across his lips:

"The power was good, but the accuracy was a bit lacking. If that blow had hit my heart, it would probably have caused me a lot of trouble."

Kuroro subtly curled his lip as he watched this scene.

He had already thought of it. As a great pirate who once gave Sengoku Garp a headache, how could Shiki not know Haki!

He's not Luffy; he won't make his opponent automatically become stupid...

He guessed that Shiki definitely possessed Armament Haki; such a skill wouldn't disappear with age...

However, the Golden Lion is now old and his physical strength is limited, so it is still unknown how strong his Armament Haki can be.

Observation Haki requires certain qualifications, and the ship's rudder on the golden lion's head must affect its release, making it difficult to use!

The current Golden Lion is definitely not capable of using Conqueror's Haki!

Twenty years of infiltration, coupled with the disability in his legs and the blows of years imprisoned in Impel Down, had long since worn away his kingly aura.

Kuroro is right, Shiki is just a sick lion now...

"Such powerful physical strength—" Golden Lion exclaimed in surprise, feeling a throbbing pain in his chest.

"The East Sea actually has a powerful figure like you?!"

"Wait..." He squinted and scrutinized Kuroro.

"And what was that ability of yours just now?"

"Didn't you already use the giant magic cloth before? And you can even teleport?"

"A dual-ability user?" The Golden Lion's eyes widened in surprise.

"This is truly unprecedented."

"Boy, state your name—"

"Kuroro Lucilfer".

"Kuru?" The Golden Lion scratched the Mediterranean Sea beside the ship's wheel on his head.

"Kuroro Lucilfer".

"Ku...shi?" The golden lion tilted its head.

"Kuroro Lucilfer..." Veins bulged on Kuroro's forehead as he forced himself to remain calm.

"Sirul?"

"......."

"It doesn't matter. You'll know my name when I punch your bald head into a pulp!"

Kuroro gritted his teeth and angrily raised his left hand towards the Golden Lion's position:

"suction--"

"Buzz—"

With a strange fluctuation, the Golden Lion was surprised to find that, without any external force,

His body flew rapidly toward Kuroro, as if two magnets were being drawn together!

"What's going on?"

"Of course it is..." Kuroro grinned maliciously, "My third ability—"

[Instant Replacement] This ability can only be used three times on the same target within a day. Kuroro has already used up his replacement attempts on himself.

However, Kuroro certainly has other ways to get close to Shiki, namely...

[Positive Electrode · Negative Electrode (Change System)]

One of Chrollo's twenty-three Nen abilities,

This ability allows the user to place a "negative" mark on the target's body surface by touch; at the same time, apply a "positive" mark (left hand) and a "negative" mark (right hand) to their own hands respectively.

Subsequently, the user can use the physical law of "like poles repel, unlike poles attract" to precisely pull or repel a target, achieving powerful manipulation of a directional force field.

Therefore, with this ability, once Shiki is hit by Chrollo, he will never be able to escape Chrollo's force field again!

"Now your Float Fruit can no longer create any distance between us, right—"

In Chrollo's opinion, the most troublesome aspect of the Float-Float Fruit is not its devastating attacks, but rather the floating itself.

Whether it's Moonwalk or other levitation abilities, they all require stamina and have slow flight speeds, making it difficult to keep up with the Golden Lion who can float freely in the sky.

Therefore, hunting down the Golden Lion is an extremely difficult task.

If he hadn't been so reckless as to provoke the Marine Headquarters alone, even Sengoku and Garp would have been helpless against him, given his ability to fly.

Now that Kuroro has solved the biggest problem of how to get close to him, Shiki is no longer invincible!

"suction--"

The golden lion, like a shooting star, plummeted towards the spot where Kuroro had raised his hand.

Meanwhile, Kuroro's right fist tensed up and gathered power once again!

"Kid, you're not just good at throwing punches—"

Seeing this, the Golden Lion revealed a hearty laugh, and almost simultaneously with Kuroro, he bent his arm to gather strength.

"Who do you think I am? I am the Golden Lion—"

"Thump—"

"Thump—"

Their fists lashed out almost simultaneously; the powerful punches, coated in Armament Haki, created sonic booms that tore through the air.

The next second, their fists collided!

"boom--!!!"

Space seemed to freeze for a second, then suddenly exploded—

At the center of their fists, a vacuum zone filled with lightning formed, a violent energy storm spread out, and even the sky above began to gather dark clouds.

Countless black arcs of electricity coiled around the two men's arms.

"Golden Lion—" Kuroro shouted with all his might.

"Lossie—" The golden lion's golden mane stood on end.

"You still didn't call me correctly!"

Kuroro changed tactics first, gripping Shiki's left arm tightly with his left hand, creating a powerful suction that held the two of them firmly together.

Then, bending his knee, he delivered a powerful knee strike aimed squarely between the Golden Lion's legs—

"Take this—a knee strike!"

"you?!!"

The golden lion bared its teeth in a furious rage, but it was too late!

The jet-black Armament Haki, activated at full power, gradually spread throughout his body; however, it would still take time for the Armament Haki to break the strange suction between the two.

Right fists clashed, left hand firmly gripped by the opponent, who then thrust a knee...

Why the hell is it "knee"? Are you kidding me because I don't have legs?!

Kuroro seemed to see the frustration in Shiki's eyes and burst into laughter:

"Hahahaha—you guessed right, I'm just taking advantage of the fact that you don't have legs!"

With a fierce look in his eyes, he thrust hard into the golden lion's crotch.

"You better remember this—"

"My name is Kuroro!!!"

"Duang—"

"Snap—"

The sound of chickens flying and eggs shattering seemed to echo in his ears. The golden lion's eyes suddenly widened, becoming bloodshot, and his eyeballs bulged out of their sockets.

This blow made him scream like a chicken—

"Fuck you—Kuroro!!!"

Bonnie, watching from below, shuddered violently; even she felt pain just looking at the attack.

She turned to look at the group and saw that the male members all gasped and unconsciously squeezed their legs together.

"That's ruthless—"

That's what everyone commented.
