“WHAT THE HELL IS SAKAZUKI DOING??”
Aokiji abandoned the pirates he was about to capture and rushed towards Akainu. He had already told Akainu not to anger Shin Uzumaki.
There was no choice, Aokiji could only help Akainu now. He couldn’t just watch Akainu be beaten to death.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Akainu’s body slammed into a warship, sinking it. Fortunately, just as he was about to fall into the sea, Aokiji caught him.
Aokiji stood on the sea, the surface of which had been frozen again by him. Aokiji’s Ice-Ice Fruit was quite good at creating a battlefield.
————
“Sakazuki, why did you attack Shin Uzumaki?”
Aokiji asked Akainu, somewhat angrily.
Shin Uzumaki was someone even the Fleet Admiral avoided pissing off—yet Akainu just had to push his luck. In Aokiji’s eyes, that was straight-up suicidal.
“Is it wrong for the Marines to attack pirates?” Akainu said coldly.
Aokiji didn’t say anything more, because Shin had already kicked over. A sharp sword aura slashed towards Akainu and Aokiji.
“Is that Tempest Kick??”
Akainu’s brow furrowed. He wrapped his arms in Armament Haki and blocked the sword wave kicked out by a single kick. Even though Akainu’s Armament Haki was trained to a very high level, his arms were still injured.
“Are you alright?” Aokiji couldn’t help but ask Akainu.
Though they’d had their share of internal conflicts—but right now, Aokiji wanted to focus on the real enemy.
Akainu didn’t speak. He used Moonwalk to fly into the sky, heading towards the floating Shin Uzumaki.
“<Great Eruption!>”
His arm transformed into a giant Magma Fist, bigger than Shin himself, and smashed towards Shin.
————
“Heh, he’s not holding back at all.”
Akainu never held back—when he struck, it was all-out, no mercy. And against someone like Shin, he’d go even harder.
After all, Akainu’s strength didn’t come close to Shin’s. Holding back against him would’ve been a death sentence.
“Robin, why are you stopping me?”
Just as Hancock was about to act, Robin grabbed her hand, preventing her from acting.
“Are you going to fight?” Robin asked Hancock helplessly.
“Of course! I want to help Shin!” Hancock drew her sword and said to Robin.
“You can’t help. You’ll just be a hindrance if you go.” Robin said to Hancock mercilessly.
“Shin can handle it. Hancock—you should stay back. I’ll go.”
Olvia walked over at this moment and said the same to Hancock.
“Fine…”
Hancock gritted her teeth with some reluctance. Her strength was still not enough.
If people found out that Hancock had this much power at barely sixteen—and still think it wasn’t enough—they’d probably lose their minds.
What kind of strength does she need to be happy?
————
Olvia acted, activating the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Thunder rumbled in the sky—and countless bolts of lightning gathered in Olvia’s hand.
“<One Hundred Million Volt: Lightning Spear!>”
Olvia held a lightning spear in her hand and thrust it towards the distant Aokiji.
Aokiji, who was about to support Akainu, had to block the lightning spear that was attacking him now.
Shin glanced at Olvia.
He didn’t stop Olvia from stepping in. Going up against Aokiji would be a good experience for her. With her strength, she wouldn’t be defeated easily—and even in a drawn-out fight, Aokiji might not be able to touch her.
The speed of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was the most annoying.
Aokiji’s speed really couldn’t keep up with the speed of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
————
“Akainu, aren’t you tired?” Shin asked the desperately attacking Akainu with a smile.
“What Devil Fruit ability do you have?” Akainu asked Shin with an ashen face.
All of Akainu’s attacks were ignored by Shin, standing there. All attacks passed through Shin’s body, not hitting him at all.
“I haven’t eaten a Devil Fruit.”
Shin said calmly. He had used Kamui just now.
Using Kamui was much more effective than elementalization. After all, elementalization could still be hit by Armament Haki. But Kamui was different.
Even if Shin stood still and let Akainu attack however he wanted, he would not be able to harm him.
With this one ability, he could basically roam the entire One Piece world.
As for Shin saying he hadn’t eaten a Devil Fruit, Akainu was 100% skeptical. Besides Devil Fruits, it was very difficult to obtain other special powers in this world.
Of course, it wasn’t impossible. Perhaps some people, some races, were exceptionally talented and might have special abilities.
But Shin hadn’t seen any yet. When it came to the world of One Piece, Shin had only scratched the surface.
After all, most of the time he had been on Amazon Lily.
————
“Alright, Akainu. I’m done wasting time—I’ve got better things to do.”
Shin’s aura suddenly changed. A thick pressure directly enveloped Akainu, making even his breathing feel heavy.
“You…”
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!”
Before he could finish his words, Akainu was hit by a heavy blow and directly lost consciousness.
Seeing Akainu about to fall into the sea, Shin grabbed his clothes and threw him onto the Kuja Pirates’ ship.
“Tie him up. And use Seastone.”
Shin instructed the female pirates of the Kuja Pirates.
Devil Fruit users, after touching seawater, would become powerless and unable to use their Devil Fruit abilities.
And Seastone was a crystallization of the sea.
This was even more effective than seawater. Akainu, with his strength, would basically have no way to break free if he wore Seastone handcuffs.
————
“Olvia! Stop wasting time.” Shin shouted to Olvia.
Hearing Shin’s words, Olvia stopped and retreated to Shin’s side. Aokiji didn’t go to attack Olvia.
“Shin Uzumaki, what do you want?” Aokiji asked Shin.
What does he want??
Sakazuki had been captured by him. And there was no way Shin Uzumaki did that without a reason. One way or another, he had to find a way to rescue Sakazuki first.
“Aokiji, go back and tell Sengoku—if you want Akainu alive, start gathering the Berries. As for how much, I’ll let you guys decide.”
Shin said calmly to Aokiji.
Let them decide…
If the price didn’t meet Shin’s standards, well—there’d be no saving him. Sakazuki’s life would be over…
