Chapter 69: “Yamamoto vs Sengoku”
"Fire demon you are surrounded! Enter without resistance!" shouted Sengoku in a high-pitched tone.
*Tsch as hypocritical as ever* thought Yamamoto in annoyance as he looked at Sengoku.
He recalled many of the actions Sengoku had committed throughout his career as a marine since Ohara, such as the plan to hurt Whitebeard through manipulative tactics toward one of his subordinates.
The World Government will kill them all once they turn themselves in, maybe he can have a death seen by many people like Roger or Ace, but he does not plan to die at the hands of these people.
If it wasn't because he has to act like a wise old man, he would insult Sengoku in many possible ways.
"If we surrender will they let us live? Will they give us back our home island or will they kill us like the weak Ohara civilians who were running away in fear?" asked Yamamoto looking at Sengoku as if he were an idiot.
He made sure his voice was heard by all the marine ships surrounding them, which he was able to do because of his spiritual power.
"Sengoku it's useless to argue with a criminal! Let's bring him to justice! If he survives today!" exclaimed Magnus.
Sengoku nodded he knew it was useless to try to talk to Yamamoto, "All ships stand clear, they are not fit for this battle!" shouted Sengoku.
The marine ships began to take some distance from where the main battle would break out, they made a kind of encirclement so that Yamamoto's ship could not escape.
*A battle in the air is an advantage for me* thought Yamamoto while observing the situation.
His ability to walk in the air using his spiritual power is far superior to Geppo, plus he also has Shunpo which is still superior.
"Komei if you see the opportunity to attack the ship do it, if we get hostages the situation could change" Sengoku said to Komei.
"Yes Admiral" nodded Komei, he didn't plan to stand by and watch. He knew he was no match for the Fire Demon, but at least he could take care of his people.
Both Sengoku and Magnus jumped off their ships and using Geppo headed towards Yamamoto.
"Kuma protect the ship, those marines won't stand still" Dragon said stepping forward.
"Yes" replied Kuma while nodding his head.
Then Dragon jumped off the ship and started using Geppo surprising many marines that someone was using his same technique.
"While Saul and Kuma protect the ship, you guys take care of protecting the weaker people" said Yamamoto as he looked at Ramses and the others.
"Yes sir!" they exclaimed in unison.
*Activate the 50% strength card...* ordered Yamamoto in his mind.
The last card of the 50% broke into a thousand pieces and from it came out specks of hell red color that entered Yamamoto's body. In just seconds Yamamoto felt a radical change in his body, after more than a month he felt this feeling of power again.
In a second Yamamoto appeared in the sky floating, after another blink, he appeared closer to Sengoku.
*What a terrifying technique* thought Sengoku when he saw Yamamoto's speed.
In just a few seconds he surpassed what Sengoku, Magnus, and Dragon did using Geppo.
*It's the last card of the 50%... this time an admiral will have to die* thought Yamamoto angrily.
When he faced Zephyr he decided that having a fight to the death with an admiral was not the best option, so he decided on capturing Kizaru. He did this because he knew that while fighting Zephyr, Kizaru could defeat Saul easily, as Aokiji did in the original post before he appeared.
However, it is different now, Saul and Kuma, plus Tesoro, Ramses, and the ex-Marines can protect the ship. And Yamamoto can concentrate on his battle.
Without saying a word, Yamamoto appeared in front of Sengoku using Shunpo, and with his fist imbued with fire and spiritual power he struck him.
"Ikkotsu" whispered Yamamoto as his fist of fire shot towards Sengoku's abdomen.
Thanks to having a devil fruit here he can combine Hakuda's techniques with his fire abilities increasing the power considerably.
Sengoku all he could do was cover himself with his two large X-shaped arms and used armament haki to increase defense.
BOOM!
The fist of fire upon impacting Sengoku's arms generated a huge explosion and sent Sengoku flying back to his ship.
"Admiral Sengoku!" shouted the marines unable to believe their eyes.
"W-what the hell?" asked Komei with his mouth open.
*The power increases a lot compared to when he hit Zephyr* thought Yamamoto as he moved through the air at high speed using Shunpo.
He didn't plan to give Sengoku time, he must take advantage of the fact that the Geppo is much less agile to move in the air.
Before crashing into the Sengoku ship he was able to steady himself, but Yamamoto was already on top of him with two mini suns, one on each index finger of his hand.
*These bitches underestimated me for escaping Zephyr that time, I'll show them the power of Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryūsai* thought Yamamoto with a frown as he threw the two mini suns at full speed towards Sengoku.
The two mini suns hit Sengoku and started to push him towards his ship again, however, they still didn't explode.
Sengoku with his two arms covered in armament haki tried to push the mini suns away, but it was useless he kept being pushed.
"Explode" whispered Yamamoto as he closed his hand.
"Shit!" said Sengoku noticing that out of nowhere the mini suns turned an even brighter color.
BOOM!
BOOM!
An explosion of dazzling light burst into the ocean. The waves rose like raging giants, crashing into each other in a chaotic dance. The water evaporated instantly, creating a cloud of steam that surrounded a large portion of marine ships.
Yamamoto watched all this from the air with an unperturbed expression, as he did not hear the sound of the system, he knew that the man with the afro was still alive.
The cloud of steam after a few seconds began to clear, and Yamamoto noticed a large golden figure defending the ship, *Oh looks like it got serious* thought Yamamoto with a slight smile.
Sengoku had activated his devil fruit power. He turned into a giant shiny golden colored Buddha that resembles gold. This form gives him a great increase in strength in all aspects.
"Admiral Sengoku!" shouted many marines in surprise at the sight of the giant Buddha's back.
For all the marines here it was the first time they had seen Sengoku in this form, so they would remember for a lifetime.
*His fire is very dangerous, his nickname is no joke* thought Sengoku who had some burns on his golden skin.
However, Yamamoto didn't think the same as Sengoku, *Tsch if I had Ryūjin Jakka you would be turned to ashes, neither your haki nor devil fruit would save you* said Yamamoto annoyed.
Ryūjin Jakka is the oldest Zanpaku-tō, the most powerful fire type Zanpaku-tō, yes he had it in his hands he would be much more powerful than mera mera.
"You deserve your nickname, Fire Demon" Sengoku said as he rose back to the same level as Yamamoto.
"This fire is nothing... The day will come when Mary Geoise will be scorched by my flames. They destroyed my home and I will repay them with the same coin" said Yamamoto in a terrifying tone that was heard by all.
The marines couldn't believe what they had heard and looked at Yamamoto with frightened faces, the flames of his two mini suns were still burning in the ocean.
*That's the way to talk* thought Tesoro with a smile.
"Kill them all Fire Demon!" shouted Yosano with stars in her eyes as she looked at Yamamoto's figure in the air.
*This man is dangerous, he must be eliminated here* thought Sengoku with a frown.
Farther away from Yamamoto and Sengoku, another battle of great caliber was taking place, Dragon vs Magnus.
Yamamoto was eager to see Dragon in action for the first time, but he couldn't as he had to take care of Sengoku.
Unlike Yamamoto's fiery flames, here there was a great deal of electricity being thrown by Magnus. Dragon fought nimbly and dodged all the blows like the wind.
*Who knew there was such a powerful person?* thought Magnus very surprised.
It was no joke, that an unknown guy could give a fight to an admiral without losing ground, in this battle the only thing Dragon used were his physical abilities and haki. On the other hand, Magnus was using one of the most powerful logias in the world.
At one point Magnus heard two powerful explosions and looked towards the battle of Sengoku and Yamamoto. Dragon took advantage of this time and a second appeared at his side.
With his leg imbued with armament haki, he struck towards Magnus' head.
Magnus turned into electricity and using his speed and observation haki moved to the side to dodge Dragon's kick, however, Dragon's leg took a strange turn at the last second and impacted Magnus' chest.
Magnus was pushed several meters and felt great pain from the kick.
*What was that strange move? I must not get distracted* thought Magnus wiping blood from his mouth.
