Chapter 545: The General Falls
Who is the most sinister person in the whole battle so far? It is undoubtedly Admiral Akainu.
He first instigated Squard, claiming that this war was actually a conspiracy of Whitebeard and the Navy. In order to save Ace, he abandoned his colleagues, which led to Squard stabbing his father in the back. Then he feinted to attack Luffy and deliberately did not confront Ace head-on, so that Ace was forced to defend and then died. His strength is absolutely strong in front of Ace...including his fruit attribute is also upstream of Ace. Normally speaking, Ace can hardly cause any trouble to him.
As an admiral of the navy, he has the upper hand and the insidious sneak attack is somewhat inconsistent with his identity.
But it cannot be said that he did it wrong.
Because for Akainu, he has his position. As long as he can win... and kill the pirates, he is willing to use any means, even if it is very dirty.
However, in addition to the above, another reason why Oboro dislikes Akainu is that during the battle, the scene and the battle are too big. Even though the navy had summoned the world's elite, it was inevitable that many navy soldiers would flee from the battlefield. Akainu didn't waste time talking to these people, and killed them all without mercy.
This guy had no humanity at all, unlike Kizaru and Aokiji.
He was also very cunning... If we were to ask who was the most threatening among the three admirals, in Oboro's opinion... after comprehensive consideration, it would be Akainu.
It was difficult to find weaknesses in such a person.
Now... it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Because Akainu was severely injured by Whitebeard, his injuries were very serious.
Fortunately, it was the old Whitebeard. If it was Edward Newgate in his prime, Akainu might have lost his mobility.
So...
After leaving Barrett, Oboro took a "step" and, with the blessing of martial arts, turned into a phantom and rushed straight to Akainu.
This was also a very important resource point.
As Oboro shuttled through space, in addition to his own burst of speed, he also controlled the airflow to propel himself, so that his speed did not encounter any resistance. When he rushed to the second half of the way close to Akainu, his facial features and limbs were almost stretched at the super speed... and an illusion appeared.
This scene was first captured by Zhan Guo.
"Sakaski!"
The old man felt a chill on the back of his head and suddenly shouted.
The heavy sound wave passed over, trying to alert Akainu.
But... Oboro's speed was too fast!
And behind Oboro, there was a person who also shot over and wanted to stop him.
This person simply relied on the brutal force under his feet to show a speed that was not inferior to his, although he did not have any skills.
But it was quite a bit of one force defeating ten skills.
Navy hero, Garp!
"No way... Two of your grandsons, one died in front of you, and the other lost consciousness, and his life and death were unknown... You actually still have the energy to catch up, and this perception and reaction... is too abnormal!" Oboro sensed the huge threat of the "impact" from behind, and cried out in his heart.
When Akainu heard the marshal's shout, Oboro's twisted figure had already pounced on him like a ghost.
Akainu couldn't see clearly, he only caught a glimpse of a pair of murderous eyes, and a ray of afterimage passing through the air.
His face was tense, and his arms that turned into lava and emitted black smoke quickly stretched and stretched, hitting the enemy.
Hades!
It was with this fruit ability that he had previously "knocked off" half of Whitebeard's face.
Not only was the speed of the attack extremely fast, but the power was also extraordinary.
However, the next second.
Akainu knew it was going to be bad!
The opponent's unexpected attack was premeditated, and it was full of power to cause fatal damage to him... and he also saw through his lack of physical strength and the malaise caused by his injuries.
The boiling magma was like a thick liquid that burst out, all splashing towards Oboro.
But the red lava and black smoke were separated to both sides by the airflow, like an invisible sharp knife, cutting through his elemental fruit ability.
In the gap left by the lava splashing to both sides, it was the God Slayer who followed closely behind, with his entire arm wrapped in black domineering.
Everyone thought that the God Slayer would fight with Red Hair, and Akainu was no exception.
This was the first time he saw Oboro.
To put it simply, the two had no communication, unlike Kizaru.
No one expected that in such a chaotic battle, Oboro's first target would be him.
A sudden cold arrow.
His own state and the "error" in thinking, as well as Oboro's fatal blow with all his strength... all these made Akainu smell the breath of death.
Oboro's palm was like a five-fingered eagle hook, and the fingertips were entangled with a domineering black flame, grabbing his face.
Between life and death, Akainu's first reaction was to elementalize and find a way to transfer his body.
The problem was that his body was suddenly "bound" by a terrifying air pressure.
It was like a bottle, "locking" him in place and blocking him.
The only thing he could do was to take Oboro's attack with his elemental form.
"God Slayer!"
Akainu was shocked and angry, and shouted.
As soon as the words fell, the awe-inspiring power of his finger triggered a shocking turmoil of air.
Then, the ground under Akainu's feet was shattered into countless pieces of stone slabs by the power of Oboro's fingertips.
What really shocked all the nearby onlookers was the liquid splashing from Akainu's chest when he fell...
It was not magma.
It was blood!
Five bloody, bone-deep wounds stretched from Akainu's head to his lower limbs.
Even the white military cap on his head was instantly shattered.
This blow made Akainu look like a paper man, and he was almost torn to pieces on the spot.
He had already used his haki to defend... but he still couldn't resist.
As a user with the top fruit of the natural system, even if the enemy attacks with domineering energy, sometimes it cannot prevent them from transforming into elements. For example, Aokiji who fought against Whitebeard was pierced by the latter with a cloud cover covered with domineering power. His body was still unscathed.
Although Haki can restrain the fruit's ability, it is not absolute.
Strictly speaking, domineering is a means to check and balance the ability of natural fruits, which is more accurate.
But whether it is domineering or fruitful depends on the level of each other.
The problem is that Akainu's condition is extremely bad after the fight, but Hazy... still retains all his strength and hits him with all his strength!
Akainu spurted blood from his mouth and fell backwards as the ground exploded.
Even though he was so severely injured, he was still able to move, remained conscious, and did not fall into despair.
His gaze glanced at Garp behind the God Killer!
This is the only person who can save him!
With Garp's strength, it would be difficult for the God Killer to carry out a second attack on himself, that is, a 'last strike'.
Just when his body was about to sink deep into the soles of his feet due to the turbulent flow of gravel, Hao suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck, then rose into the sky and brought him into the air.
In full view of everyone, the dignified naval admiral was choked by a pirate and hung in the air.
Garp has already reached the bottom, and is about to bend his knees and jump, giving Ogi an iron fist.
While the haze hasn't flown to higher places yet.
Too late…
He could save Akainu.
"He killed Ace...and almost killed Luffy. You should hate him with all your heart, right?"
However, then...the cold voice of the God Killer rang in Garp's ears, causing him to freeze.
"Don't you want him to die?"
"..."
"I'm helping you."
Garp was silent for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Hao was stalling for time.
Although he wanted to kill the brat Akainu, before that, he was a marine.
Garp has fought and come into contact with too many pirates in his life, and his psychological defense is not generally strong.
All kinds of tricks and tricks have no effect on him.
But the problem is that people's hearts are full of emotions when they are touched by a scene.
Ace's tragic death and Luffy's whereabouts just happened... He hesitated.
Even if he only hesitated for a few seconds, it was enough for Hao.
"I'll help you with what you can't do... Garp, you owe me a favor." Hazy smiled in the air.
"Kap!!!"
In the distance, Warring States realized something, his expression was livid, and he roared suddenly as if he was losing his temper.
With his eyesight, he could see that... Garp could save Sakaski.
"Don't think about becoming elemental... Even if you don't use Haki, my abilities still have certain limits on you."
"Farewell, Admiral."
Akainu was caught, with fiery juice rolling all over his body, like boiling water...but it just couldn't spread or flow outward.
Hazy said lightly, and then his palm directly pierced Akainu's chest and poked out from his back.
"Dirty pirate!"
“䱱…”
As soon as Akainu uttered a few words from his elemental face, the sound stopped with Hazy's action.
His body covered in lava suddenly returned to normal.
With a gentle squeeze of his hand, the heart that was taken out was broken into pieces.
Plop.
Hajime retracted his arm, and as soon as he let go of his other hand, Akainu's body fell from a height and landed at Garp's feet.
At this moment, before Hao could even take a breath, a dazzling light appeared above his head.
Kizaru kicked him in the head with a light-speed kick.
Whoosh.
Hao was knocked away by this astonishing force and fell to the distant battlefield.
An entire wall was smashed.
Kizaru was also a step late.
He and Qingzhi originally planned to intercept the escaping Straw Hat boy, but they had no expectations for what happened here.
In a war with the Four Emperors, how could the God-Slayer escape easily with Shanks' ability alone?
"Sakaski..."
Sengoku's pupils dilated.
Chief of Staff He was also stunned and speechless for a moment.
The Admiral...is dead.
For all the navy generals and soldiers, the scene that happened before their eyes was simply unbelievable.
The general who couldn't even kill the Four Emperors, Whitebeard, died in the hands of the God-Slayer, and everything happened so fast!
The eagle's eyes flashed and he was silent.
Moriah looked stunned, broke out in cold sweat, and retreated unconsciously.
All the lieutenants of the navy headquarters also lost their minds.
Margo, Foil Bista and others from the Whitebeard Pirates also had numb hands and feet.
Their minds are confused.
I couldn't clear my mind for a while.
What does the Godslayer want to do?
He was obviously at war with the red-haired man...why did he suddenly attack the admiral?
And...this kind of strength!
…
"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Interesting, so interesting!"
Doflamingo shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
Don't care about other people's opinions at all.
"The times are destined to change!"
"What is justice and evil..."
Dover looked up at the sky, grinning, feeling happy.
"Justice belongs only to the victor...blah blah blah!"
"Let's make things chaotic... The more chaotic, the better!"
"What a great... era."
