บท 298: You Are Weak

"Vongola Ring?" Akainu frowned upon seeing the ring that suddenly appeared on Byakuran's hand. Just like Gladius before, the first thing that would come to mind was obviously Vongola Family.

"No, Vongola Ring and Mare Ring are different. Vongola Ring is worn by the leader of Vongola Family and their Guardians, while only I, the leader of Millefiore Family can wear Mare Ring. Although there are some similarities between them, they are completely different."

Even though Byakuran was Giotto's double, he wanted to give the impression to the world that Millefiore Family was a different force from Vongola Family.

The ring in Byakuran's hand also exuded an extremely intense orange flame. As the wielder of Mare Ring, his Dying Will Flame was quite majestic. Even without Ghost's Dying Will Flame absorption, he was definitely stronger than others!

Seeing that Akainu's face was getting more and more annoyed, Byakuran decided to explain, "It's very strange seeing us Millefiore Family use the same power as Vongola Primo and those Varia, isn't it? By the way, there are other Families who also have this power, so there is no need to be surprised."

"I don't care which Family you are from. All I care is that you all are criminals that I have to execute!"

At this moment, Akainu took a step forward, and his aura kept intensifying.

"Bam!"

In an instant, Byakuran appeared in front of Akainu as if he had teleported and then kicked Akainu in the chest, sending him flying and crash into the illusory surroundings formed by the Spectral Sea Slugs.

"I'll leave the Vice Admiral to you, Genkishi!" Upon seeing Akainu who had stood back up again, Byakuran added, "Don't let anyone disturb me, understand?"

"Understood, Byakuran-sama!"

Genkishi respected Byakuran as if he was a god. He'd do anything if it were Byakuran's order! After a simple answer, he held his sword and walked towards the Vice Admiral. Dealing with a Vice Admiral was much more difficult than two of Donquixote Family's officers earlier, but it was not impossible. How could a mere Vice Admiral do something against his illusion?

At the same time, the magma on the ground suddenly surged and pounced towards Byakuran. The scorching magma scorched the illusory surroundings that Genkishi created, and the casino was completely destroyed by Akainu's power.

However, Byakuran did not care at all. He still had his iconic smile even when the magma nearly came into contact with his body as if he did not feel any threat from the scorching magma.

His physical strength was not weak to begin with, and with Sky Flame was circulating all over his body, the magma was actually already neutralized before it came into contact with him. Naturally, it did not cause any harm to him.

In the next moment, Akainu's figure reformed from the magma. He stood behind Byakuran with a grim expression. Then, a large amount of magma surged from his right hand as he punched Byakuran!

"Die! Dark Hound!"

Akainu's Dark Hound was much stronger than before. After all, he was now an Admiral. He was no longer the Vice Admiral who always get whooped by by Vongola Family. Both his Devil Fruit ability and Color of Arms Haki were much stronger than before. At this moment, he was confident that he could punch the white-haired youth in front of him through his chest.

However, Byakuran simply turned around. He still smiled and was completely calm. He looked at Akainu as if he was looking at a mischievous puppy.

Then he intercepted Akainu's attack with an index finger. He didn't even use Color of Arms Haki!

When Akainu saw this scene, he was stunned as he watched his magma-covered punch was easily blocked by Byakuran's finger. No matter how hard he pushed, he couldn't even budge in the slightest. A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes, and there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Just how strong is this guy?"

He had never experienced anything like this even when he faced the people from Vongola Family!

This young man stopped his attack with just a finger! Was that even possible?

"Ah, are you surprised? I am also surprised. Is this all an Admiral got?"

Byakuran pretended to be surprised and said, "If that's the case, then it's my turn."

Byakuran focused the Sky Flame from Mare Ring on his finger and blasted it in combination with Color of Arms Haki to make sure Akainu couldn't use his Logia ability. Akainu was sent flying again and smashed the edge of the illusionary space.

However, Akainu quickly recovered. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Byakuran again. He didn't dare to look down on him. He now understood that this guy who called himself the leader of Millefiore Family probably was not weaker than Vongola Primo.

And this also made him believe that he had nothing to do with Vongola Family. If such a strong person was also part of Vongola Family, then how absurdly strong were they?

"You are quite tough, but then again, if you are defeated so easily, I will be very disappointed. After all, you are an Admiral!"

Byakuran didn't care about Akainu. He turned at Genkishi and said with a smile, "Hurry up and finish the battle. To be honest, fighting with an Admiral doesn't give me a sense of accomplishment. You have to bring a Fleet Admiral at the very least if you want to entertain me!"

While speaking, he walked towards Akainu step by step. At the same time, he added, "By the way, do you want to play a game? How about betting on the fight between Genkishi and the Vice Admiral?" After all, the battle with you makes me a little sleepy. And with me here, you can't interfere with their battle. Well, in short, you are so weak!"
