As the alternate dimension shattered, Black, who was hiding within it, was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
At this moment, he stood beside the injured Loki, looking bewildered, seemingly still not understanding the situation.
"What happened? Why did I suddenly fall out?" Black looked left and right, unable to comprehend the reason.
"Strange, who's causing trouble?"
He scratched his head, his gaze falling upon Loki in front of him. He decided not to think about anything else and prepared to capture Loki first.
Just then, the ground suddenly vibrated violently.
Not far away, the massive figures of the Temple Guards were approaching, each raising the sharp blades in their hands.
"Stop! Put Loki down!" The giants' angry roars shook the hall.
However, they were still too far away and could not stop Black in time.
"A bunch of barbarians."
Black frowned, reached out to grab Loki, and simultaneously used his Devil Fruit ability to re-enter the alternate dimension.
But the next moment, Black, who had already entered the alternate dimension with half his body, was blasted out again by an invisible force.
This time, however, he finally realized the identity of the person who had attacked him.
"What are you doing? Marine!"
Black glared at Kenji, who was not far away, his eyes filled with rage as he rebuked him.
"Are you trying to attack a Celestial Dragon?"
"Heh heh, I told you, I'm protecting this Giant kid." Kenji stood with his arms crossed, smiling.
"I hope you'll be sensible."
"You... what did you say?!" Black almost thought he had misheard at first.
As a Celestial Dragon, and an even nobler God's Knight, Black had never seen a Marine like Kenji.
He dared to defy the orders of a World Noble? He was so unyielding that he didn't seem like a Marine at all.
However, before Black could speak again, the Temple Guards in the distance had already charged forward.
Three Giant warriors, each holding a damaged weapon, fiercely slashed at Black, the sharp slashes from their blades making one's eyes ache.
"Damn it, don't get in my way!" Black's anger poured out.
He gripped his sword with both hands and confronted the three Giant warriors. His figure leaped, and the sharp, cold light of his sword flashed continuously.
Clang! Snap!!
The next moment, immense force severed the Giant warriors' damaged weapon, the blade breaking instantly.
Puff!!
The heavy blade's edge tore through flesh. After continuous slashes, the upper garments of the three Temple Guards were instantly soaked with blood, and shocking long wounds were gashed across their chests.
Their massive bodies reeled back several steps, finally unable to support themselves, and fell to the ground.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Like three mountains crashing down, the nearby ground vibrated violently.
"Huh?"
After defeating the three Temple Guards, Black turned to look at Kenji, a puzzled expression on his face.
"He didn't try to stop me again?"
"What exactly does he want to do?"
Black found Kenji a bit incomprehensible.
Just now, he had clearly attacked him directly, showing no fear, but now he was acting like an outsider, watching him deal with those three barbarians without any intention of intervening?
Had he suddenly changed his attitude?
"Hmph! After this, I'll settle the score with you!" Black snorted coldly and reached out to grab Loki again.
Just then, Kenji's indifferent voice suddenly came, "I've already warned you... Forget it, there's no explaining it to you."
Before he finished speaking, Black suddenly felt a powerful aura rapidly approaching. He abruptly turned his head and his pupils instantly constricted.
Not far away, a dark red light was charging straight towards him. Black recognized the origin of that dark red light.
"That's... Conqueror's Haki?!"
"This level of Conqueror's Haki... it's almost materialized, isn't it?"
As he stared in shock, the Conqueror's Haki had already rushed close.
Bang!
Black was blasted away, spitting blood in mid-air.
"Eh?"
This scene caught the attention of Sommers on another battlefield, causing him to exclaim in surprise.
And his momentary distraction led to him being struck by Harald's sword again, his body shattering for who knows how many times.
Not far away, Figarland also noticed Black being sent flying.
When he saw that the attacker was Kenji, his face immediately darkened.
However, he did not make a move. He merely cast a gloomy glance at Kenji, then slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Daring to attack a god, how foolish and ignorant!"
As if to confirm Figarland's words, Black, who had been blasted away, quickly got back up after falling to the ground not long after, without a single scratch on his entire body.
"Argh! So painful! Damn it!" Black rubbed his chest, looking angrily at Kenji.
He still seemed to want to use his status to suppress this Admiral.
However, when he saw Kenji's cold, seemingly indifferent gaze, he immediately sobered up.
"That guy... seems like a lunatic!"
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Why would the Marine send an uncommunicative lunatic here?!"
Black gritted his teeth, extremely annoyed but helpless, somewhat in a fit of impotent rage.
But soon, he reined in his anger, his expression instantly shifting from fury to indifference.
Such superb emotional management skills even startled Kenji.
"Fine, since you dare to oppose me, I'll just get rid of you too." Black raised his greatsword with both hands.
His eyes flashed with a bloody glint. Then, his figure flickered, and he vanished from his original spot.
He entered the alternate dimension once again, but this time, he increased his speed, no longer moving as unhurriedly as before.
"Heh, he's learned his lesson this time." Kenji smiled at the sight, not caring.
He knew that Black was deliberately guarding against the power of Conqueror's Haki Emission, fearing that he would be blasted out of the alternate dimension again.
And after entering the alternate dimension, Kenji found it difficult to perceive his exact location.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be able to sense him unless he reappeared, but unfortunately, Black failed to guess that Kenji actually had a 'cheat'.
"Hmm... will he come out from behind? He really chose a sinister position!"
At this moment, Kenji's eyes reflected scene after scene, images of what was about to happen in the future.
Through his Future Vision ability, he precisely located where Black was about to appear and released his Conqueror's Haki in advance.
Rumble!
The next moment, a dark red light burst forth. Black had just poked his head out in the mid-air position behind Kenji when he was struck by an unstoppable powerful force.
Not only was his head blasted open, but his body, hidden in space, was also forcefully smashed out.
Puff!
Black's head exploded, a large amount of blood mixed with white, viscous brain matter splattering everywhere.
Immediately following, the headless body, having lost its head, fell to the ground with a splat, splashing more blood.
This sudden scene immediately caught the attention of Figarland in the distance.
