Chapter 120: The Slightly Late Issho
Flame of Wrath bullet was fired at a high speed one after another toward Z.
Seeing such a concentrated attack, Z secretly complained in his heart. When he blasted away the Flame of Wrath, he felt that Xanxus's attack was so heavy.
Although he managed to repel Xanxus's attack away, it was not as easy as it seemed. It was as if Xanxus used a submachine gun instead of a pair of pistols.
"Hurry up and retreat to the warship. Leave this place to me!"
A light flashed in Z's eyes. Then he repelled all Flame of Wrath with his Color of Arms Haki-coated punch. He knew that his job was not to defeat the enemy but to protect his men.
As Z blocked Xanxus's attack, the Marine retreated to the warship. But there were less than half of the five thousand elite soldiers left. Most of them were killed by Belphegor. His throwing knives and Visone Tempesta completely dominated the battlefield.
When the last soldier boarded the warship, Z immediately retreated. He used Geppo and Soru to return to his warship.
There was no need to continue fighting.
Giotto looked at the retreating Marine. He couldn't do anything else to stop them. His Dying Will Flame and physical strength were at their limit. It was impossible for him to continue fighting.
As for Alaudi...
He had his own conditions, and he would not do anything if those conditions weren't met. He had three conditions. The first was that the opponent was strong enough to stimulate his fighting spirit. The second was when the Family was in danger. Lastly, when it was in line with his belief.
Helping Giotto defeat the Marine and CP0 was the second point, which meant that his Family was in danger. Now that the danger had been resolved, although the Marine did not represent justice in his opinion, they could at least keep many pirates in the first half of the Grand Line in check, so he naturally would not stop the Marine.
But Xanxus was different. In his heart, there was only the strongest Vongola, so when the Marine decided to withdraw, his men would pursue them. The Marine had provoked Vongola Family, so he naturally had to teach them a lesson.
Of course, there were also some Varia Members who would rather slack off, like Fran.
"Hey, hey, are you leaving already? You bring so many people, stirring up trouble, and then just run away like this?"
Xanxus looked at Z and the retreating warship. The sneer on his face became even clearer: "It is too boring, but since you are in such a hurry to leave, I will give you a farewell gift so that when you return to your headquarters, you won't say that us, Vongola Family, don't know etiquette, hahaha!"
Xanxus then channeled all his anger into his weapon. His momentum burst out crazily, rivaling that of Giotto when he was charging up X-Burner. In fact, the way he charged up his energy was also the same as the X-Burner.
But what set them apart was Xanxus used pistols, allowing him to concentrate his Flame of Wrath more efficiently, and there would not be a violent recoil like the X-Burner.
"Colpo d'Addio!"
Xanxus fired his Dying Will Guns at the same time, and two massive bursts of Dying Will Flame were shot toward the warship. The warship it hit would be destroyed instantly for sure, and none of the soldiers aboard would survive.
Seeing this kind of attack, Akainu clenched his fists, gritting his teeth in hatred. He had fought Xanxus for such a long time, but Xanxus didn't even bother to use such a move against him.
Was that bastard with a scar on his face looking down on him?
Was he just toying with him from the beginning?
Sooner or later, I will reduce you to ashes using my magma!
Even if Xanxus knew that Akainu despised him this badly, he wouldn't care. He certainly didn't feel any threat from Akainu and Gion when he faced them. Thus, he didn't feel the need to get serious.
"Damn bastard! Z!"
Sengoku was surprised. He didn't have the strength to resist Xanxus' attack so he only shouted.
Z had already made a move even before Sengoku called out his name. He concentrated all the power of Color of Arms Haki on his right fist. The muscles on his arm bulged as he mustered all the strength in his body. Since he became the instructor, he had never encountered such an intense battle. He had only encountered small-time pirates when he took the new recruits out for combat training.
"I haven't fought seriously in a while. I may have gotten a little rusty, but since I am here, don't think for a second that you can harm my boys!"
"Boom!"
Using all his strength, he directly hit Xanxus's attack head-on. Color of Arms Haki-coated punch and Flame of Wrath collided with each other. Both wanted to overwhelm each other, but neither side budged.
At the last moment, Z boosted his strength again and changed the trajectory of Flame of Wrath, sending it up to the sky.
Z then quickly retreated to his warship.
It was at this time that a figure appeared in the sky. He was flying at full speed to Ball island but he suddenly stopped. He saw the situation below and then awkwardly scratched his head: " Am I... late?"
Just thinking of this, Issho's mouth twitched as he smiled bitterly. He unsheathed his swordstick and Press-Press Fruit's ability displayed itself. He fiercely slashed downwards because Z sent Xanxus's Flame of Wrath toward him.
