The Seraphim lifted its head, suddenly, its gaze fixed on Ignis Glow.
Ignis Glow's figure, like an unfathomable mountain, loomed larger and larger in the Seraphim's eyes, filling its entire field of vision.
Sparks and arcs of electricity began to crackle and erupt from the Seraphim's body!
Faced with the concentrated spiritual pressure, powerful enough to alter the very atmospheric pressure, the Seraphim simply collapsed!
"Impossible…!"
Seeing the outcome of the World Government's latest creation, the Seraphim, the scientists stationed at the rear of the fleet were stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief.
This was the second-generation Pacifista, the "Seraphim"!
Not only did it cost several times more than the first-generation Pacifistas, equivalent to an entire warship, but its combat power was supposed to approach that of a Shichibukai.
Although it was still in the untested, newly completed stage, it shouldn't be this weak!
"The first stage of 'Operation Extermination' appears to have failed… the chances of seizing that weapon are slim…"
On the flagship of the World Government fleet, Kong watched the Seraphim, still struggling to stand, but unable to do so.
A flicker of disappointment and coldness appeared in his eyes.
I miscalculated.
Test subjects are just that, test subjects.
Faced with the true enemy of the World Government, they couldn't even force him to reveal his true power.
It seems they're not yet capable of replacing the Shichibukai…
As he spoke, Kong's aura began to intensify.
He retrieved another Den Den Mushi.
Contact the retrieval team.
Also, transmit the information back to the World Government.
The Five Elders can await good news regarding the remaining tasks here!
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief Kong!"
The response echoed from the Den Den Mushi.
Afterwards, Kong hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Faced with the failure of the Seraphim, the Commander-in-Chief of the World Government Forces showed little emotion.
In his eyes, the Seraphim's deployment had been primarily to test their powerful, experimental combat capabilities.
Secondly, it was a warning to the Shichibukai, a demonstration that the World Government possessed the power to replace them at any time!
They shouldn't entertain any foolish notions!
Moreover, even knowing that the Seraphim might lose control, Kong had still chosen to deploy a batch of untested models.
This demonstrated his absolute confidence in his own power.
If the Seraphim were to truly lose control, then he would personally destroy them!
That was all!
Furthermore, the World Government had intervened directly!
They were determined to succeed in this operation!
Since two Admiral-level fighters had failed to subdue their target… then the World Government would send three! Four! Even five!
After all, on this vast ocean, there was no shortage of so-called "private monsters"!
And this time, those "private monsters" who had been under the World Government's watchful eye, eagerly awaiting their opportunity, had been summoned in just three days, a total of ten individuals!
Each one possessed combat power that was close to, or could even replace, a Navy Admiral.
This was one of Kong's greatest sources of confidence in his ability to eliminate Ignis Glow!
Ten private monsters working together!
Plus himself!
No matter how strong Ignis Glow was, Kong refused to believe that he could possibly win!
"Now, it's your turn to take the stage!"
Witnessing Ignis Glow effortlessly defeat the Seraphim, Kong looked towards the deck behind him.
Instantly, a group of ten individuals, forming five teams of two, stepped forward.
Each one radiated a powerful aura, a testament to their exceptional strength.
These were the "private monsters" that the World Government had recruited, individuals who had been eagerly awaiting their opportunity.
One of them, a Longarm Tribe member, stepped forward, a playful smirk on his face, "Commander-in-Chief Kong, I heard that simply participating in this battle…"
"And successfully eliminating that criminal who threatens the World Government, the one who kills him will be promoted to the position of Navy Admiral, is that correct?"
"Indeed. This is your chance to make a name for yourselves".
"Just don't disappoint the World Government's expectations!"
Kong stated coldly, his eyes fixed on the approaching battle.
"Hee hee hee, then I won't hold back. That Admiral position… I'm claiming it!"
Upon hearing this, a hunchbacked, middle-aged man with short blond hair, already donning a Navy coat, his eyes gleaming with ambition, launched himself towards Ignis Glow!
"What a terrifying monster".
"They're willing to offer such a tempting reward."
"But no matter how strong you are! Before my Fura Fura no Mi power, you'll kneel before me like a good little boy!"
As he spoke, the hunchbacked man crossed his fingers, and beams of yellow light, the "Dizzy Light," shot from his fingertips!
The moment the hunchbacked man moved.
"Hey hey hey!!!"
"You bastard!"
"Trying to steal the credit!"
"Stop right there! That Admiral position! It's mine!"
The others' expressions changed, their faces contorted with resentment.
They refused to be left behind!
Instantly!
A chaotic free-for-all erupted on the sea!
At that moment, Swish!
While the others moved quickly, demonstrating their impressive strength, their speed was noticeably inferior to that of the hunchbacked man, who had taken the lead.
The yellow "Dizzy Light" attack reached Ignis Glow before anyone else.
In an instant, the "Dizzy Light" pierced through the spiritual pressure and enveloped Ignis Glow completely.
Ignis Glow suddenly felt a bizarre sensation of being upside down, his senses distorted.
"The power of Devil Fruits… truly fascinating."
Sensing his senses being disrupted, Ignis Glow mused on the nature of Devil Fruit powers.
Some of the more unusual Devil Fruit abilities, while perhaps not as powerful as Logia-types, could sometimes produce unexpected effects.
He couldn't let his guard down.
"However, if this is all you have…"
Ignis Glow lifted his gaze, staring at the middle-aged man in the distance.
In the distance, the hunchbacked man, seeing that Ignis Glow had been hit, was overjoyed.
He drew a short sword from his waist, and charged towards Ignis Glow, aiming for his neck!
"Hahahaha! This criminal's head is mine! And that Admiral position! I'll gladly accept it!"
"Now that you've been hit by my Dizzy Light, you can't even tell which way is up! Die!"
As he spoke,
