"A Marine Admiral of this world?"
Nagato, who had just come out of seclusion from the Underworld, heard that a Marine Admiral was trapped in the South State of the South Blue and rushed over immediately.
One of the highest combat powers of the Marines!
How could Nagato not be interested.
If he didn't act in advance, the animals like Yahiko who came out of seclusion one after another in the Underworld would definitely steal the kill.
Regardless of what Akainu was doing in the South Blue, he was just unlucky. After Lucian merged the islands of the three seas, he was trapped in the center of the South State.
Became a trapped beast.
Couldn't run away.
"Marine Admiral, Sakazuki!"
Akainu's mind constantly analyzed the possibility of leaving, finally finding no way out, and then spoke resolutely.
One hundred thousand soldiers attacked the South State, there were too many strong people, no one could escape.
Can't escape.
Then fight!
Just as Akainu prepared to act, Nagato said calmly: "Don't you know who I am?"
"Hmph!"
Akainu snorted coldly, looking at the emblem on Nagato and the military rank on his shoulder.
The same rank as Kushina who robbed Marine Headquarters?
Empire General?
"Nagato, my name."
As he spoke, Nagato walked towards Akainu: "Affiliated with the Holy Empire Navy, Admiral Nagato!"
Empire Navy Admiral?!
Akainu was stunned for a moment, then relieved.
Since there is an Air Force, it's not surprising to have an Army and a Navy.
Just.
Too much nonsense!
"Hound Blaze!"
Akainu's magma arm instantly elongated hundreds of meters, attacking Nagato straight on, extremely fast.
Boom!
One punch pierced through Nagato, turning a piece of land behind him into magma.
Akainu was not happy. Observation Haki sensed in all directions; just now he attacked an afterimage.
"Not bad ability..."
Nagato, who flashed to the other side using Hirenkyaku, said slowly: "I also heard His Majesty evaluate you as an iron-blooded general, but you have a problem of killing even your own people."
"Empire law, no harming one's own people, understand?"
What does that mean?
Akainu frowned for a moment, then said coldly: "Since you know I am a soldier, you should understand that I serve the Marines, the World Government. Don't expect me to defect."
"Only trash would be a traitor!"
Kizaru: Really so scary.
"You are right."
Nagato couldn't help but agree, saying indifferently: "If a person's stance is not firm, he is not worth cultivating. As a soldier, even more so, fight for the country, die for the country."
"But!"
What exactly does this guy want to say.
Akainu looked coldly at the surrounding elites retreating. Or rather, currently, within dozens of miles, only Nagato remained.
Nagato continued: "The World Government is not a country, nor are you serving the country. Recognize reality."
"Like..."
Swish!
Akainu arrived in front of Nagato, punching out, missing again.
"Like Admiral Kizaru!"
When Nagato's words fell, Akainu's movement stagnated, his eyes full of astonishment, angrily saying:
"You are talking nonsense!"
Just kidding!
Kizaru was a Marine of the same period as him, became Zephyr's first batch of students with Kizaru, trained together, grew up together.
Because of their outstanding performance, they were called monsters by the world.
Aokiji?
Just a junior!
He would rather believe Aokiji defected.
Than believe Kizaru betrayed.
"Finally lost composure. Always expressionless, I thought you were a puppet without emotion..."
Watching Akainu's changing expression, Nagato said frankly: "Empire powerhouses are coming out of seclusion one after another. Whether Kizaru is exposed or not doesn't matter. No one in this world can stop the Empire."
Damn it!
Borsalino!
This traitor!
Akainu didn't roar, but the anger and killing intent in his eyes were obvious.
The other party is a strong person with status, no need to question.
"Why are you angry? I just stopped being a dog for the Celestial Dragons!"
"Sakazuki!"
At this time, a voice came from afar, making Akainu's face completely black.
Hum!
Golden light flashed.
Forming Kizaru's figure on the ground.
What made Akainu even more angry was that as soon as Kizaru arrived, he didn't look at him at all, turned around and made a strange gesture towards Nagato.
Kizaru raised his hand and saluted: "Holy Empire citizen, ID number 12******91, greets Admiral Nagato!"
Nagato glanced at Kizaru.
Saw through the spiritual body clone at a glance.
Amazing, main body drinking tea at Marine Headquarters, clones roaming everywhere.
Plus Transformation Jutsu.
Heaven knows how many Kizaru clones are roaming around the world now.
But what made Nagato curious was: "Only a citizen, no position?"
"..."
Kizaru's old face turned bitter.
Probably the most miserable one among the strong people who joined the Empire.
Captured by a group, sent to the Academy of Sciences for dissection, and as soon as he came out, was sent back to the Marines by White Zetsu to play Admiral.
Didn't even give a mission.
Seven years passed, still no mission given, making Kizaru think he was abandoned.
So he could only.
Send clones running around, trying to meet Empire people by chance, make friends and find connections.
Nagato said: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"I'm not working hard, everything is for the Empire."
Kizaru saluted and spoke again.
Akainu was about to explode!
"Borsalino, how can you be so shameless!"
Akainu's voice squeezed out from between his teeth, and the ground where he stood turned into magma.
Kizaru's expression was dangerous: "I explained it. If you say it again, be careful I will also take action."
"Ah!"
Akainu shouted angrily.
Nagato, Empire, all go cool off somewhere.
He wants to kill this traitor!
"Rumble!"
The ground shook violently, large patches of land cracked inch by inch, surging with hot magma.
Kizaru couldn't help but squint: "Taking advantage of my conversation with Admiral Nagato, did you bury magma underground?"
"Stand down, he's my opponent."
Nagato didn't want his kill stolen, not to mention this Kizaru was just a spiritual body clone, might be blown up by Akainu in one move.
"Yes, Admiral Nagato."
Kizaru prepared to fly back.
Seeing this, Akainu shouted angrily: "Running? Go to die!"
"Hell crimson lotus!" (Meigō)
Dozens of miles of ground shattered instantly, and ferocious magma erupted like a tsunami.
Akainu developed this move by entering various volcanoes in recent years to become stronger.
Filling the underground with magma, pushing with ability, simulating a natural volcano pile, and erupting in an instant.
Forming a volcanic eruption!
"Rumble!"
A large range of magma shot into the sky, forming a terrifying hell-like picture.
Hundreds of miles away.
Countless people saw the magma rushing into the sky from afar, the sky dyed red.
"Block it!"
Large amounts of volcanic ash scattered in all directions, definitely causing casualties. Lu Bu shouted loudly.
"Sky Eater!"
Lu Bu waved his Sky Piercer.
Splitting the splashing volcanic ash and magma in the sky, the sky cracked open.
"Sealing Spirit Barrier!"
The surrounding Empire soldiers released barriers in unison, blocking the falling ash and stones.
Although mainly trapping souls, the defense is also extremely strong.
"Oh, so scary, really so scary, almost killed me..."
Inside the battlefield, Akainu stood in the center of the magma sea, his face turning black upon hearing this sentence.
This bastard.
Usually didn't feel anything hearing it.
But now as enemies, it sounds so awkward, damn it!
Swish swish!
Two figures appeared. Kizaru covered with Armament Haki, Nagato covered with spiritual power, the two stood on the magma sea as if walking on flat ground.
"...Looks like you learned the ability of invisible dodging in the Empire."
Akainu looked at Kizaru coldly.
All-round volcanic eruption, he didn't believe the former Kizaru could be unscathed.
Erupting magma, the strongest is not the temperature, but the terrifying substantial impact force. Even with Kizaru's Armament defense, such a range would always cause injury.
"People always have to grow..."
Kizaru shrugged. Indeed entered the Shadow Domain, magma cannot affect the shadow space.
"Damn it!"
Looking at Kizaru's careless appearance, Akainu got angrier the more he looked.
He hates fighting with Empire people the most.
Because they hide one by one, can't find anyone.
The more top-tier Empire powerhouses, the harder to hit.
"Great Eruption!"
When the magma sea formed, this place became Akainu's domain.
Large patches of magma on the ground turned into fists, attacking Kizaru overwhelmingly.
"Forget it, let you kill me once."
Kizaru spread his hands, didn't dodge.
Boom!
Kizaru was submerged by magma, his entire body turning into spirit particles and dissipating.
"Clone!!"
Akainu bombed wildly on the spot in anger.
Damn Borsalino, playing tricks on him. Just that moment, he thought of stopping.
Turns out the clown is me, Akainu!
At this moment.
Marine Headquarters.
Kizaru's main body retrieved the memory of the spiritual body clone, his expression extremely colorful, turned his head and coughed lightly: "Fleet Admiral, Sakazuki is trapped in the South Blue. Should I go save him?"
Akainu: Shameless! Shameless!
Sengoku said in a deep voice: "There are one hundred thousand Empire soldiers there, and many Empire elites... We must believe in him."
Saving, too late in time.
Akainu's stamina can fight for ten days and ten nights, but if besieged, the time will be infinitely shortened.
"Sigh, wish him good luck. Sakazuki, he is my beloved friend, my brother..."
Kizaru's face was full of melancholy and sadness.
Many officers were moved. Admiral Kizaru is indeed a Marine hero.
Akainu: Shameless Kizaru, die a horrible death!
"Done venting?"
"Better adjust your emotions. I don't like fighting with people who lose their reason, because..."
Nagato looked at Akainu calmly.
"That way, it will end in an instant!"
As he spoke, a sniper rifle appeared in Nagato's hand.
"End in an instant? Laughable!"
Looking at the sniper rifle, Akainu felt danger, but his tone was not convinced at all.
If the weapon is a gun.
Then the danger is not too great.
Find the target, unlock safety, aim, cover with Armament Haki, pull the trigger, bullet flies out, etc.
Every step takes time.
Even if hit, it's just a small bullet hole. Akainu ignores that little injury.
Swish!
But Akainu is experienced, won't capsize in a gutter, heaven knows the opponent's ability.
Instantly left the spot.
After arriving at the other side outside Nagato's field of view, Akainu attacked.
"Great Eruption!"
"Hound Blaze!"
"Meteor Volcano!"
Let the magma sea erupt countless magma fists from the ground.
At the same time, Akainu's left hand Hound Blaze attacked Nagato straight on, and his right hand blasted sky-full of magma fists towards the sky.
Heaven and earth, front and side.
All terrifying magma attacks.
"Logia area attacks, truly unique..."
Nagato raised the sniper rifle, turned slightly, and aimed at Akainu.
"Not good!"
The moment he was aimed at, Akainu felt a fatal crisis.
Involuntarily defended with Armament Haki, and rapidly left the spot.
"Too late!"
"The moment I aimed, it ended!"
Nagato's words hadn't fallen yet.
"Hmph!"
Akainu groaned.
An extreme pain spread throughout his body. Akainu looked at the bowl-sized hole piercing through his abdomen in horror.
"What ability?!"
Silent!
No bullet!
No trajectory!
Observation Haki didn't capture any attack.
All magma, along with Armament Haki defense, were all pierced through!
Just aimed, and got injured?
"No... Armament Haki!"
What Akainu found hardest to accept was that the opponent's attack definitely didn't have Armament Haki wrapped around it, but he is a Logia.
But it hurts more than being stabbed a thousand times with a knife wrapped in Armament Haki!
From the soul, extreme pain.
"Hmph!"
Akainu groaned again.
Just moved to another place, Nagato unleashed the X-Axis (The X-Axis - Schrift X: The X-Axis).
Another hole appeared on his body.
"Hell Crimson Lotus!"
Enduring the severe pain, Akainu started the volcanic eruption again.
At the same time, pulled away the distance to the limit.
Boom!
