One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

The snowflakes scattered, revealing Vergo's figure.

His strong muscles were covered with a shiny, purple Armament Haki that had spread to his entire upper body.

Even the octopus sausage stuck to his face was covered in Armament Haki.

"As expected of the rising star of the Navy..." Vergo said, standing up.

"I never imagined that the Donquixote family would be so audacious as to send spies into the navy."

Kitahara Tsune turned around and tossed Dori, who was standing next to him, to Corazon's side.

"Dolly, you and that kid named Law stay over here and take good care of Mr. Cora."

Vergo's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, were fixed on Corazon behind Kitahara Tsune, as if he wanted to devour him whole.

He then turned to Kitahara Tsune and introduced himself calmly: "I am Vergo, a member of the Don Quixote family."

Clearly, the other side is prepared to fight to the death!

If they don't want to expose the Don Quixote family's conspiracy, their only option now is to kill all those present who know the truth.

That sneak attack just now was the last chance.

If he succeeds, he can destroy the intelligence and bring Corazon back to the Don Quixote family for trial.

But if it doesn't work...

Even if Corazon were killed, it wouldn't make a difference; the intelligence would still be in the hands of the Navy.

If we find an opportunity to destroy that intelligence later, but Corazon is not dead, we can naturally rewrite the intelligence.

The situation has reached a point where there seems to be no solution.

After that collision, Vergo knew very well that he was no match for this naval supernova.

Since that's the case, I'll just have to stall for time...

Vergo lowered his arms, seemingly in the starting position of some kind of move.

However, all of his subtle movements were detected by Kitahara Tsuneo.

Kitahara Tsune gently raised his hand towards Vergo's waist.

"Finger gun - poke".

A trickle of blood shot out from Kitahara Tsune's index finger, and at the same time, a fingernail, accompanied by a whistling sound as it cut through the air, shot straight toward Vergo's waist.

The moment the fingernail flew out, Kitahara Tsune's powerful physique and recovery ability were on full display.

In just a few breaths, the nail grew back, exactly the same as before.

puff!

A small explosion suddenly occurred at Vergo's waist, blasting out countless small seashells.

Vergo's brows furrowed deeply. His body, protected by Armament Haki, had indeed not suffered much damage.

However, the Den Den Mushi he had hidden at his waist was now in pieces.

His original plan was to call the Den Den Mushi that contacted Doflamingo and then delay as long as possible to remind the other party of the current situation.

However, just as he was about to dial the Den Den Mushi, the other party saw through his plan!

However, Vergo was not discouraged. He had already been prepared to die when he went to the Navy as an undercover agent.

Today was a day he had long anticipated.

"shave!"

Vergo moved at lightning speed, appearing behind Kitahara Tsune in the blink of an eye!

He clenched his right fist, his massive muscles brimming with power, and, imbued with Armament Haki, slammed it fiercely towards Kitahara Tsuneo.

Kitahara Tsune didn't even glance at him. His right forearm suddenly turned pitch black, and he yanked it behind him, grabbing Vergo's fist, which was covered in glossy black Armament Haki.

The jet-black Armament Haki contrasted sharply with Vergo's glossy black Armament Haki.

"Well--!"

Vergo screamed in pain. As Kitahara Tsune began to exert his strength, he felt that his Armament Haki had no defensive effect whatsoever!

Under Kitahara Tsune's finger force, the bones were crushed to powder!

Before he could react, Kitahara Tsuneo suddenly disappeared from his sight.

The next moment, all he saw was a pitch-black fist waving at him.

Before the fist even landed on his face, he felt a powerful force surge through his mind, causing him to lose his composure.

The fist slammed into his face, creating a deep dent. Blood, along with shards of broken glasses and teeth, splattered out, turning the surrounding white snow crimson.

With a single blow, Kitahara Tsuneo knocked this Don Quixote family executive, who was capable of applying full Armor Haki, to the ground.

However, he looked at his fist with dissatisfaction.

"Still not working? Is my mastery of Conqueror's Haki not proficient enough? Or is it that Conqueror's Haki Entanglement can only be used after one's own aura has been activated?"

In that attack, he attempted to use Conqueror's Haki to execute a Conqueror's Haki Entanglement technique.

He failed, but only managed to distract his opponent for a moment during the battle.

However, even without that moment of distraction, the opponent would still be hit by his attack, and the outcome would not change.

During these two months of training, he gradually became more familiar with controlling Conqueror's Haki, and was able to control the range and target of its release.

However, he had no clue how to use Conqueror's Haki in such an advanced way.

I initially thought it would be like Armament Haki or Ryuo, but after several attempts, I still couldn't get it right.

For this reason, he even consulted Sengoku and Garp.

However, both of them told him that his Conqueror's Haki had not yet matured to the point where he could use such advanced techniques.

Kitahara Tsune had his own ideas on how to enhance Conqueror's Haki.

Others develop their Conqueror's Haki by enhancing their own spirit, but Kitahara Tsune's spirit is likely equivalent to his fame.

It may even be related to a series of terms related to fame, such as the current "Emerging Talent (Green)".

Perhaps when this series of entries advances to blue quality, he will be able to unleash Conqueror's Haki Entanglement.

Looking at Vergo, who was lying on the ground, his Armament Haki completely gone, and who was clearly unconscious.

After weighing the pros and cons, Kitahara Tsuneo still chose to raise his finger.

"Finger gun, Coptis chinensis."

shhhhhh...

Dozens of bloody holes suddenly appeared on Vergona's already fallen body.

His chest, which had been rising and falling slightly, suddenly stopped moving.

While beheading would be safer, Kitahara Tsune wasn't that bloody; he just needed to make sure the other person wasn't alive.

Moreover, if the other party does manage to survive by sheer luck, as long as they can spread their fear among the pirates, it's still acceptable.

However, judging from the other party's appearance, without Corazon's terrifying vitality, it certainly wouldn't have survived.

After all, within his Observation Haki, the opponent's life force had already vanished.
