"This is..."
"Supreme King Haki!"
Many people witnessed the clash of two Supreme King Hakis!
No one expected that the battle between Hundred Beasts Kaido and Akihara Kagura would awaken the Supreme King Haki within this Navy Vice Admiral!
Many also saw Hundred Beasts Kaido being unexpectedly punched away by Akihara Kagura and heard Akihara Kagura's stirring declaration about the Navy!
Any member of the Navy who heard Akihara Kagura's declaration and saw Akihara Kagura punch away a Four Emperor would feel an urge to risk their lives for justice!
"It's really blood-pumping..."
Kizaru slightly tilted his head, glanced at the figure standing on the ground, and smiled helplessly: "If only Sakazuki had really said that..."
Unfortunately...
Others did not know the truth.
Not even Akainu far away was aware that yet another biting quote had been pinned on him by the Heavenly Celestial Dragons.
At least everyone present thought Akainu must be resolute, that the Admiral would definitely clear all the evil from the sea in the name of justice, including the wicked Heavenly Celestial Dragons!
"Huff..."
Hundred Beasts Kaido stood up and walked step by step toward Akihara Kagura, gazing at the distant Navy Vice Admiral, and rumbled: "Even awakened Supreme King Haki? That's rare within the Navy..."
Supreme King Haki is like fish in the ocean.
Yet within the Navy, it is not commonly seen. So far, the only known Navy members with Supreme King Haki are Navy Admiral Sengoku the Buddha, that elderly man who reveres justice reigning over the world...
But...
Akihara Kagura is clearly a novice.
Because the Supreme King Haki within him continues to leak outward, clearly yet to learn how to control his own Supreme King Haki...
"You're not bad either..."
Akihara Kagura accepted Hundred Beasts Kaido's praise straightforwardly and walked toward Kaido step by step: "Sea Emperors are not common in the ocean either..."
"Hmm..."
Kaido snorted out a breath of heat, feeling no joy at Akihara Kagura's compliment, after all, more than one Sea Emperor is already too many!
The next instant!
The two giants charged at each other again!
A massive current erupted from Akihara Kagura's body, engulfing him instantly into a colossal Thunder God form!
The Thunder God's fists were wrapped in jet-black Armament Haki!
Hundred Beasts Kaido's arms also shimmered with gleaming black Haki!
Hundred Beasts Kaido and Thunder God's fists collided at once!
Armament Haki clashed, with the black and red arcs of Supreme King Haki continuously colliding on their fists, a terrifying shockwave swept across the island once more, and the two engaged in a straight-up close combat!
"!!!"
Hundred Beasts Kaido's fists relentlessly pounded the lightning giant before him!
This Navy Vice Admiral's Armament Haki strength is astonishing, able to withstand his Armament Haki, even resisting the Supreme King Haki intertwined!
The battle here was truly shocking!
To the extent that the rest of the island paid attention to this area, many sensed the Navy Vice Admiral capable of rivaling Hundred Beasts Kaido!
Shakky's Rip-off Bar.
Dark King Rayleigh's eyes showed a hint of surprise, his lips curled into a smile, he glanced at the Straw Hat Pirates beside him, then at Shakky beside him, and chuckled: "It seems the Navy has some rising stars too!"
"This combat power..."
Shakky puffed on her cigarette, blowing smoke rings as she glanced at Rayleigh, unable to resist the retort: "Can't really be called a rising star, can it? Clearly, they came from East Sea along with Luffy and his gang, yet reached this step so fast..."
This level of combat power...
Would have carved a place even in Gol D. Roger's era!
Honestly speaking, if not for the emergence of Konoha Pirates within the pirates, the world's balance would surely tilt toward the Navy with Akihara Kagura's appearance!
No help for it...
An Admiral Level combatant...
Even one who can rival a Four Emperor as an Admiral...
Though Shakky knew the Straw Hat Pirates were outstanding, their growth was too slow compared to the rapid rise of Akihara Kagura!
"Better train Luffy quickly..."
Rayleigh understood Shakky's point, he chuckled and continued: "The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is undoubtedly one of the strongest among Logia-type Fruits..."
"However, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit happens to be easily countered by Luffy's Fruit ability, seems these two brats are like destined rivals..."
Very much alike.
One is the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, quickly forming combat power, destined to become a Navy Admiral, considering Akihara Kagura's age, might even become Navy Admiral Sengoku!
The other, apparently the Rubber-Rubber Fruit, while growing slowly now, once awakened, it holds extraordinary combat power.
"Eh?"
Luffy completely missed Rayleigh's point and hurriedly explained: "Rayleigh, my ability can't counter Kagura's!"
"It's just not yet fully unlocked..."
Rayleigh shook his head, patted Luffy's shoulder, and lifted his gaze toward the battlefield where Thunder God clashed with Hundred Beasts Kaido: "We... huh? How's this possible!"
