Akainu snorted coldly. He thought that Akira Stone was using words to provoke him, so he was even more disdainful. If Akira Stone really completed everything in front of him, then he would lose all face. He would never allow such a thing to happen.
"A little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair dares to imitate others and become a pirate. Today, I'll let you know what the consequences of being a pirate are."
As he spoke, red magma ignited on Akainu's fist. His eyes only contained absolute justice. Akira Stone's actions violated his justice, so he didn't care about anything else. He was only thinking about killing Akira Stone now.
Facing Akainu, Akira Stone didn't dare to be careless. His hand tightly gripped the hilt of his sword. His mind was constantly thinking about which Zanpakutō he should use to deal with Akainu. Actually, if he had Ryūjin Jakka now, he wouldn't have to think so much. However, he didn't have that sword now, so he had to think of other ways.
As he thought, Akira Stone's eyes suddenly lit up. His purpose was to retrieve Roger's body, not to fight Akainu to the death. So, Akira Stone's eyes became brighter and brighter. The way he looked at Akainu also became more and more strange. He already had a plan in his heart. Whether or not he could retrieve Roger's body, Akainu was the key.
Being stared at by Akira Stone's gaze, Akainu frowned slightly. He felt that Akira Stone's gaze was very strange. However, he didn't think too much about it. He was already prepared to use his ability to capture Akira Stone in one fell swoop.
"Zangetsu!"
Akira Stone suddenly shouted in a low voice, and then suddenly drew his sword. At the moment when his Death God Blade was unsheathed, a great light shone, and finally transformed into a crescent-shaped giant cleaver. It was precisely the Zanpakutō Zangetsu.
When Zangetsu was unsheathed, Akira Stone said secretly in his heart, "My plan will fall on Akainu. So I must completely enrage him. To make him perish, first make him crazy!"
Akainu wasn't surprised that Akira Stone could draw such a huge cleaver from a narrow scabbard. Instead, he gathered his strength, and blasted it towards Akira Stone.
"Inugami Guren (Dog Biting Crimson Lotus)!"
The magma-transformed arm turned into a dog-shaped attack, and charged towards Akira Stone. The momentum was extremely astonishing.
Akira Stone didn't look away. He gripped the sword with both hands tightly, staring at Akainu, staring at the incoming attack. Then, he suddenly swung Zangetsu, and shouted loudly, "Getsuga Tenshō!"
In an instant, a huge blade light erupted from Zangetsu, forming a blue giant blade light, like a moonlight blade, and attacked Akainu.
"Is that a slash?"
Before, when Akainu attacked Akira Stone, the two of them had already become the focus of the entire field. So when they took action, it attracted the attention of countless people. When they saw Akira Stone actually unleashing such a terrifying slash, the people wielding swords in the field were very surprised. To materialize a slash and unleash it, that already belonged to the ability of a swordsman.
Rayleigh was the world's top swordsman. On the path of swordsmanship, he was definitely one of the few people at the forefront. But even he revealed a look of surprise when he saw Getsuga Tenshō. However, he quickly thought of the key. Before, when Akira Stone used other Zanpakutō, he didn't unleash this kind of slash. But when he used this Zanpakutō that he was seeing for the first time, he used this kind of slash. It was very likely due to that sword.
Rayleigh knew some of the abilities of Akira Stone's weapons. Hawkeye also knew. But others didn't know. Everyone was shocked by Akira Stone's slash, and couldn't help but widen their eyes, staring at the battle between Akira Stone and Akainu.
"Boom!"
Getsuga Tenshō and Akainu's Hound Blaze collided together, emitting a huge tremor. Many of the surrounding Marines were forced back by the aftershocks. However, neither of the two attacks could do anything to the other. After colliding together, they quickly dissipated.
"That brat actually fought Vice Admiral Sakazuki to a draw?"
The surrounding Navy generals were all staring at this scene dumbfounded. They knew how much strength Akainu had. As the number one candidate for Navy Admiral, Akainu's strength was definitely in the Navy's top five. Especially his Devil Fruit ability. The attack power and destructive power of the Magma-Magma Fruit was one of the best.
But for such a powerful man to actually fight a boy to a draw, this kind of result blinded the eyes of many Marines. The impact was no less than when Akira Stone unleashed Conqueror's Haki just now.
The veins on Akainu's forehead had completely burst out. It could be seen how angry he was at this time. He wasn't angry that Akira Stone had canceled out his attack. Instead, he was angry that he hadn't killed Akira Stone in one blow. This was something that he couldn't tolerate.
Furious Akainu emitted deep red magma all over his body. The magma dripped on the ground, emitting 'sizzling' sounds.
Akainu shot out like a cannonball. Akainu's speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he came to Akira Stone's front. Akira Stone swung Zangetsu in his hand, and slashed at Akainu with one slash. Zangetsu hit Akainu.
However, although Zangetsu hit Akainu, it slid past Akainu's body, as if it had passed through an invisible element. And the place that was slashed by Zangetsu was quickly re-condensed by magma, turning into a flawless appearance.
Akira Stone's attack was ineffective against Akainu. But Akainu punched Akira Stone. Even though Akira Stone used Zangetsu to block it in time, he was still sent flying by Akainu's punch.
After knocking Akira Stone away, Akainu pressed his attack, and charged forward again. His punching speed was very fast. Fortunately, Akira Stone's reaction was also fast enough. He used Zangetsu to constantly block Akainu's fists. Even so, Akira Stone was covered in injuries. Blood continuously flowed from his mouth and nose. Even the tiger's mouths of his hands were bleeding. If this situation continued, he might be killed by Akainu at any time.
"Bang!"
The block of ice that had frozen Marco shattered with a bang. The transformed phoenix soared into the sky, wanting to save Akira Stone. But Aokiji's speed wasn't slow either. In the blink of an eye, he blocked in front of Marco. No matter how Marco charged, he couldn't break through Aokiji's defense, making Marco roar angrily.
On the other side, Kizaru and Hawkeye were still fighting. Kizaru said with a chuckle, "That brat is in a bad situation. Sakazuki won't show any mercy. If this continues, he's going to be killed. Aren't you going to save him?"
Hawkeye slashed out with his sword, but he didn't even look in the direction of Akira Stone. He said indifferently, "He's walking his own path. There are no shortcuts. Whether or not he can succeed depends on himself. I can't help him."
Actually, being able to help Akira Stone block Kizaru was already the limit of what Hawkeye could do. To be honest, the things here had nothing to do with him. However, Akira Stone's appearance made him seem to see an opponent. So that's why he was looking forward to Akira Stone growing up. But just as he said, if he needed his help with everything, then that wasn't the result he wanted either.
"Hehe, it seems that you guys aren't that familiar either." Kizaru said to Hawkeye with a smile.
Hawkeye was silent, and was still swinging the black sword in his hand. Every slash was full of power, making Kizaru scream repeatedly. Hawkeye didn't intend to help Akira Stone. Naturally, Kizaru wouldn't help Akainu either. So the two of them continued to fight in place. But it could also be seen that neither of them had really used killing moves. It was more like they were mutually entangling each other.
Rayleigh and the others were also being tightly entangled by Sengoku. So based on the current situation, it was impossible for anyone to save Akira Stone.
The dark clouds in the sky were getting more and more numerous. The wind was also blowing faster and faster. The entire world seemed to have become gloomy. The atmosphere was also flashing with light, as if an even greater storm was about to come.
Seeing Akira Stone being beaten by Akainu without any ability to fight back, Kong also put down a large part of his heart. However, he frowned, looking at the sky, and said in a low voice, "What strange weather. Logically speaking, there should only be light rain at most today. But what's going on with this storm and the clouds covering the sky? Could it be that there will be a storm?"
Because today was the important day of executing the 'Pirate King' Roger, the Navy had prepared all the details properly, including the weather and climate. Because often a bad weather could bring unnecessary changes. So Kong had already predicted today's weather more than once. The most prepared result was light rain.
However, the weather in front of him was completely different from what he had predicted. This was completely the prelude to a storm. And it wasn't just an ordinary storm. It was more like a rare large storm.
The heavy rain didn't bring any changes to Akainu. He was still forcefully attacking Akira Stone. Even he now had to admit that the boy he was fighting was truly rare. After withstanding his attacks so many times, he was still able to stand. However, this didn't affect his killing intent in the slightest. He was preparing to use an even stronger move to kill Akira Stone in one blow.
And although Akira Stone was being beaten by Akainu without any ability to fight back, and had multiple injuries on his body, and his internal injuries weren't light either, his eyes were becoming brighter and brighter. He knew that Akainu had been enraged. Next, he just had to resist for a while longer. His chance would come. The chance was a matter of life and death. There was only one chance, so he had to make sure that it was foolproof.
Akainu stopped attacking, and stood in place, staring at Akira Stone coldly, and said, "The next blow will kill you!"
"Clang!"
Akira Stone put Zangetsu back into its sheath, and then drew it out again. However, the shape of the sword had changed. It had turned into another look, which was Sōgyo no Kotowari.
Seeing this scene, Akainu's gaze was surprised, "Did the shape of the sword change, or is there another reason? This brat's sword is somewhat strange. After killing him, I'll slowly study it."
Even Akainu, who only believed in his own fists, had developed a strong interest after seeing Akira Stone constantly changing the shape of his Zanpakutō. So that's why he was thinking about snatching Akira Stone's sword after killing him.
