"It's you?!"
Through his Observation Haki, Issho finally recognized the person on the balcony.
It was the Marine Admiral who had been defeated by him.
But he hadn't expected that the Admiral would be Akainu, and furthermore, that he had ascended to the position of Marine Fleet Admiral.
"Finally remembered?"
Akainu eyes were cold.
The humiliation from their previous encounter still lingered in his memory. Now that they had crossed paths again, he had no intention of letting him off easily.
"This is a misunderstanding; I have no affiliation with Whitebeard."
Issho said while sighed, aware that arguing was futile at this point.
"Misunderstanding?"
"There's no such thing as good pirates, and a misunderstanding doesn't change that just because you say so. Do you think people will believe what you say?!"
Akainu shouted and didn't say anything further, but simply waved his hand and ordered, "Take him down!"
"Yes!"
Vice Admiral Onigumo quickly signaled with a wave of his arm.
The Marines officers who had been prepared quickly aimed their guns and fired.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The gunpowder ignited, and the bullets whizzed through the air.
"It's truly disappointing to see that even the Marines have these filthy individuals among them"
Issho sighed.
He had believed that joining the Marines would help him achieve justice in his heart.
But who would have thought that Akainu, as the Fleet Admiral, would order an attack on him without considering his own circumstances and intentions.
If even the Fleet Admiral acts like this, then it's likely that other Marines have a similar mindset.
At this point, he immediately raised his Katana.
Boom!
A tremendous burst of gravitational force ripple outward
The bullets were deflected before they could reach their target.
He directly displayed his Devil Fruit power, the Paramecia Press-Press Fruit (Zushi-zushi no Mi).
The surrounding Marines were also affected by the sudden increase in gravity.
"Since the Marines won't accept me, it's time to say goodbye. I hope that the next time we meet, we won't be on opposing sides!"
Issho sheathed his katana and walked away in his wooden clogs.
"Do you really think this is a place where you can just come and go as you please?!"
Onigumo was furious.
He'd lived for a long time and had never encountered a pirate like this.
Without another word, he drew his sword and activated his devil fruit, summoning eight hands, each holding a sword, as he charged towards Issho.
Stabbed~
A sharp light flashed.
The sword containing murderous intent came down toward Issho's head.
Before he could swing his arm down, Onigumo felt a heavy force pressing down on him.
Boom!
His body fell heavily to the ground.
The intense gravity raged down hard, making the ground as fragile as tofu, instantly bursting open.
Vice Admiral Onigumo, who was originally aggressive, was also crushed and runable to move
"What kind of power is this?!"
Onigumo exclaimed as he raised his head, and a look of shock flashed across his face.
Unexpectedly, this undercover agent was so strong that even he, a Vice Admiral, was crushed by a single blow.
But soon, a sense of humiliation emerged in his heart.
He is a Marine Vice Admiral!
Now, in front of so many people, being beaten to the ground by a pirate is truly shameful.
His body struggled desperately, trying to get back on its feet.
But this force of gravity was beyond his imagination; no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from it.
"How come!?"
"Isn't Vice Admiral Onigumo the famous Vice Admiral from Marine? How did he get taken down by this pirate in a single blow?"
"Who is this pirate? He's incredibly strong!"
The people who came to join the marines were talking and looking at Issho with horrified expressions.
"I just want to leave here, and I don't want to be an enemy of the Marines!"
Issho stated calmly.
Although he failed to join the Marines.
But he is really not a pirate, and he doesn't want to be an enemy of the Marines.
The attack earlier was purely for self-defense, without any ulterior motives.
And then, he took a step forward and continued to walk away.
"You're too arrogant!"
Akainu was extremely furious with Issho's actions.
To Akainu, a pirate is a pirate.
Since Issho had been convicted by Marine, he believed he should go to Impel Down and face the consequences.
Instead of stubbornly resisting like Issho!
And more importantly
Issho's actions reminded him of Whitebeard.
Whitebeard's actions were the same, ignoring the majesty of the Marines and treating Marine as if it were nothing!
He despised this kind of unscrupulous behavior to the extreme.
"Pirates are all evil, and this world is in chaos because of criminals like you!"
Akainu roared.
As anger surged, molten lava began to envelop his arm as he launch an attack
Inugami Guren!
boom!
The scorching magma erupted violently, its intense heat warping the air as it rushed towards Issho.
"I have no intention of being an enemy of Marine!"
Issho said with a frown.
But seeing the fast-approaching molten lava with his Observation Haki, he had no choice but to stand his ground and resist.
The katana slash carried the gravitational force onward.
Gravity Blade!
Boom!
The ground shook fiercely.
The rushing molten lava burst, causing the ground beneath Akainu's feet to collapse.
Akainu suffered a loss last time, so he was determined not to be defeated again this time.
As soon as he noticed the fluctuation of the ground, Akainu quickly leaped into the air.
"Go to hell!"
With a fierce shout, his fists swung forward.
The magma is surging out, and its power is even more terrifying than last time.
Dark Hound!
Issho's frown deepened.
Feeling the intense heat of the magma, he had no choice but to evade it.
BOOM!
The magma struck the ground, causing a violent eruption of energy that shattered the earth. Countless fragments of lava splashed around, leaving white marks in the air.
Akainu noticed the miss but didn't stop his attack.
Instead, he continued his attack, causing significant damage to the surroundings.
"Ugh"
Issho sighed
As Fleet Admiral Akainu continued to attack, Issho could see that Akainu was genuinely treating him as a pirate.
He realized that even if he managed to leave this place, Marine would still consider him a wanted criminal.
He couldn't help but feel frustrated at the thought of it.
Clang!
The katana was drawn!.
With a surge of power, he swung it down fiercely, creating countless purple rings that shot into the sky.
There was a loud rumble from the sky.
Crimson light enveloped the sky, and a heavy aura filled the air.
"What's going on?"
"Why did the sky suddenly turn red?"
The people there were surprised and all turned their eyes towards the red sky.
"Huh ?"
Akainu subconsciously stopped his attack
Boom!
The rumbling noise continued, growing louder and closer.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a dark spot appeared in the sky.
"Is that…"
The doubt in their eyes deepened as they watched the black spots grow larger and larger until they could clearly see what was approaching.
Meteorite!
A meteorite suddenly appeared in the sky!
The meteorite's surface was burning with flames, painting the entire sky red, and it descended with a thunderous sound, causing a tremendous commotion.
"How come…"
The people below were left in shock, unable to comprehend what was happening.
As they watched the meteorite falling towards them, fear gripped their hearts, causing their bodies to tremble in terror.
After the battle just now.
Everyone had come to realize that Issho was a powerful individual, far from being an ordinary pirate.
But they didn't expect that Issho would be this strong.
He was so powerful that he could easily summon a meteorite!
