"Boom—boom—boom!"

Within a radius of nearly 100,000 meters, the sky was shrouded with endless lightning. Beneath this thunderous spectacle, the sea lay unnervingly still. 

Towering over a kilometer high, the massive figure of Arashi in his Raijin form seemed like a divine manifestation. 

His entire body radiated with blue electric arcs, while the five drums engraved with tomoe symbols on his back discharged countless lightning bolts. 

Flowing ribbons of electric clouds surrounded his thick arms, legs, and neck.

Holding up the colossal island, Arashi's voice thundered through the heavens.

"Shiki!"

The mighty and resonant sound, accompanied by the rumble of lightning, sent shockwaves across the sky and sea. 

At that moment, Golden Lion Shiki's mind was overwhelmed by shock and disbelief. 

The development of Arashi's Logia Fruit abilities had reached an unparalleled level.

The towering figure of pure energy standing before him resembled the incarnation of a true god.

Even more astonishingly, the area within a radius of tens of thousands of meters around Arashi was enveloped in a mist caused by seawater's evaporation from the surrounding lightning's immense heat.

"Arashi!"

Shiki gritted his teeth, his expression twisted with rage as he made a summoning gesture with both hands.

"Whoosh!"

The mist in the air began to swirl and condense, forming a massive body of seawater.

"Boom—boom—boom!"

The tremors intensified as the once-calm sea erupted violently. Waves soared skyward, merging into monstrous tsunamis that surged forward. 

At the forefront of these waves, enormous lion-shaped water constructs roared with bloodthirsty intent, each a thousand meters tall and ferociously lifelike.

"Lion's Wrath: Imperial Earth Scroll!"

With a ferocious roar, Shiki's face contorted with madness.

"Do you think I'll lose to you?" he bellowed. "I am the greatest pirate of this era!"

"I am Golden Lion Shiki!!!"

The overwhelming surge of seawater engulfed everything in its path, sweeping away the already-distant G-18 fortress and dozens of Marine warships. 

Thunder raged overhead as dark clouds filled the skies.

"Die! All of you, just die already!"

"This era is far too soft!"

"Today, I'll show you what it truly means to face a pirate's wrath!"

"Gyahahahaha!"

Shiki's golden hair flew wildly in the gale, his bloodshot eyes glinting with madness.

Meanwhile, Arashi, his immense Raijin form still supporting the islands above, slowly turned his massive head. 

The five drums on his back emitted a series of deafening booms, shaking the heavens.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In a calm yet earth-shaking tone, Arashi spoke:

"Even while holding five islands, I can still crush you!"

With that, he momentarily steadied his stance, his thunderous eyes glaring with unparalleled intensity.

"Ten Billion Volts: Divine Judgment!"

In an instant, a massive lightning pillar erupted from Arashi's eyes, tearing through the incoming tsunami and shooting directly toward Shiki.

Golden Lion Shiki's eyes glimmered with crimson light as he narrowly evaded the incoming blast, his movements a hair's breadth from disaster.

"Gyahahaha!" Shiki's wild laughter echoed across the storm-ridden skies.

"Not since Roger's death have I felt my blood boil like this!"

"Arashi! This is the battle that will decide life or death between us!"

Arashi roared, his massive body firing another torrent of lightning pillars, each ripping through the tsunami and creating gaping voids. 

The attacks surged toward Shiki, who darted through the sky, leaving afterimages as he narrowly avoided the deadly blasts.

But with each evasion, Shiki's breathing grew heavier. His chest heaved as he clutched the scorched wound in his abdomen, wiping the blood from his mouth. His heart pounded furiously.

"Let's settle this, Arashi!" Shiki bellowed.

Golden Lion Shiki lunged forward, his legs sweeping through the air as blades of haki-infused slashes hurtled toward Arashi.

"Lion's Thousand Cuts Valley!"

Arashi raised his right leg, black-and-red lightning coursing around it. With a mighty swing, he countered the incoming barrage.

"Raijin Tempest Kick!"

The colossal blade of lightning tore through the sky, colliding with Shiki's attack. The two forces clashed with explosive intensity, canceling each other out.

With a sudden motion, Arashi lowered the islands, placing them onto the ocean's surface. 

The impact sent massive waves rippling across the sea. Then, clenching his right fist, Arashi hurled it forward with devastating force.

Galaxy Impact!

The approaching tsunami was obliterated instantly, reduced to a storm of scattered water droplets.

"Gyahahaha!"

Shiki charged forward once more, slashing wildly with his legs. In an instant, his attacks severed Arashi's Raijin arms. 

However, before he could celebrate, the severed limbs reformed, crackling with electricity.

"Tch!" Shiki clicked his tongue. "A body made entirely of pure energy, huh?"

The next moment, countless lightning bolts formed a vast electric grid, surging toward Shiki with terrifying speed.

"Crackle—pop—snap!"

The space around them distorted under the sheer power of the lightning. 

Sweat dripped from Shiki's brow as he navigated the electrified labyrinth with precise movements, his eyes glowing red with determination.

"This kid has taken the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to its absolute limits!"

"Such overwhelming power—it's like dealing with Whitebeard all over again!"

Shiki's heart raced as the battle raged on.

He knew very well that among the three legendary pirates, his strength might be the weakest. Especially after losing his legs, his combat power had significantly declined. 

During his two years in Impel Down, Shiki had been analyzing his flaws and shortcomings from his previous battle with Arashi, carefully planning his next steps.

But seeing Arashi again shattered all of his prior assumptions.

This kid… had grown even stronger!

The power of his lightning had surged to an unimaginable level.

"Thunder Titans!"

In the distance, Arashi extended his right hand, brilliant arcs of electricity crackling between his fingers.

In an instant, three towering titans of pure lightning materialized in the air and the sea, their bodies radiating an intense electric glow.

"Crackle!"

The dense arcs of lightning shot toward Shiki, illuminating the entire sky in a blinding brilliance. 

At that moment, Shiki found himself facing the greatest crisis of his life, teetering on the edge of life and death with every passing second.

"What terrifying lightning!"

"Each strike could level a mountain!"

"Is a Logia Devil Fruit capable of such power?"

Shiki's heart trembled, his faith in himself shaken.

After nearly a dozen breaths, the relentless barrage of lightning bolts finally ceased. 

But before Shiki could catch his breath, the three massive Thunder Titans appeared in a flash, raising their mountain-sized fists and swinging them down with unstoppable force.

Shiki lifted his legs and swung his dual blades with precision.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A series of metallic clashes echoed as Shiki was surrounded, battling the Titans in close combat.

Nearby, Arashi stood calmly, the glow of his Raijin form gradually fading as he reverted to his original appearance. 

Purple cloud-like ribbons wrapped around his neck, limbs, and torso while the thunder drums on his back flickered faintly, emitting the sound of distant drumming.

"Haah... haah…"

His breathing was slightly labored, but his spirit remained fervent.

The fully mastered Rumble-Rumble Fruit unleashed terrifying power, both in scale and intensity, pushing his abilities to unprecedented heights. 

His new state also enhanced his physical resilience, speed, reflexes, and recovery. 

While it couldn't compare to the awakened abilities of a Zoan user, the maximum potential of his fruit was undoubtedly on a different level altogether.

However, this state came with an immense cost to stamina and energy. Arashi estimated he could only maintain it for about five minutes at most. 

Even the brief time spent holding up the islands and attacking Shiki had already drained a considerable amount of his strength.

"I originally planned to track you down later," he said, his tone calm but resolute. "But since you've delivered yourself to me…"

Arashi's figure disappeared in a flash of lightning, reappearing directly in front of Shiki.

"This time," he declared, his voice cold, "I will end you for good!"

Purple lightning flashed in Arashi's eyes as he reached for the sword at his waist.

"That blade…!"

Shiki's eyes widened in recognition.

"That's Roger's sword!"

Arashi gazed at him with unwavering determination.

"The world has entered a new era," he said. "Golden Lion Shiki, it's time for you to step down!"

Arashi unsheathed the sword with a powerful grip, black-and-red lightning surging along its blade. Behind him, the sky was consumed by endless lightning bolts, forming a backdrop of overwhelming might.

"This era has no ship that can carry you anymore," Arashi declared, his voice deep and commanding.

For a moment, Shiki was stunned. Then, he roared in defiance, his fury erupting like a storm.

"Do you know who I am?!"

Shiki swung his wooden prosthetic leg, imbued with the full force of his power.

"I am Golden Lion Shiki!"

The next moment, their blades clashed amidst the storm of lightning.

"Boom!"

A shockwave rippled out, spreading across a radius of 100,000 meters and calming the raging seas.

"What nonsense about no ship carrying me! About eras! About stepping down!"

Shiki's bloodshot eyes blazed with fury as he roared at the top of his lungs. His legs slashed the air relentlessly, his entire body exuding a monstrous aura. 

For the first time in years, the full might of the legendary Flying Pirate Admiral was on display, silencing the heavens and earth.

"Brat, you dare speak such arrogance!"

Shiki's rage boiled over.

Arashi, gripping Ace, the famed sword, stood tall with lightning coursing around him. His eyes were sharp, and he swung his blade without hesitation.

"Let this sword be the one to send you off!"

"Die in this climactic battle," Arashi continued, his tone unyielding. "It's a better end than being defeated by a younger generation and tarnishing your lifetime of glory!"

Arashi could see through Shiki's facade. Though he seemed invincible at this moment, Shiki was already at the end of his rope, relying on a fleeting burst of strength.

"A lifetime of glory, huh?"

Shiki's expression shifted, and then he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Gyahahahaha!"

With his dual blades, he struck relentlessly, his golden hair flying wildly in the storm.

"My life…"

Shiki had resolved himself. He treated this as his final battle, a fitting end to his legendary story.

"Roger!"

"Whitebeard!"

"Rocks!"

One name after another left his lips as his swords clashed with Arashi's. Blood sprayed from his mouth with every strike.

"To die by this blade…"

"Not bad… not bad at all!"

"Gyahahahaha!"

The skies turned crimson as the intense battle reached its climax.

Suddenly, a voice echoed through the heavens:

"Divine Departure"

A blinding light erupted, piercing the heavens and spreading shockwaves everywhere.

Then, silence fell.

Arashi stood motionless, his right hand slowly sheathing the blade as he looked ahead.

Before him, Shiki's lifeless body remained upright, his eyes white and devoid of life.

The battle was over.

Golden Lion Shiki had been defeated once more.
