The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

"But, I never expected that the person who came... would be you, Sakazuki."

His words carried an undisguised disappointment.

In his heart, perhaps only defeating the Five Elders was the goal.

Only those who forced Im to retreat were qualified to be his opponent, the Supreme Commander of the Knights of God.

Akainu merely frowned at Grimm's questioning.

He then let out a disdainful sneer.

"hehe."

The hands slowly rose, and the parts below the elbows instantly expanded and deformed, transforming into a huge lava that continuously surged and dripped with scorching magma!

Dark red magma condensed and compressed at his fist, radiating destructive high temperature and light heat, scorching the already distorted air around him with crackling sounds.

“To deal with you…” Akainu began.

“We don’t need Gern.”

"boom!!!"

Before he finished speaking, Sakazuki had already vanished from the spot!

All that remained were the cratered lava pit beneath their feet and a ring of scorching heat spreading outwards!

Use the shave to make a sudden advance!

His speed was extremely fast, completely different from his heavy and fierce fighting style!

Green Saint's pupils suddenly contracted!

Although he outwardly and verbally showed disdain, he didn't really think that way in his heart!

After all, the man in front of them was none other than "Akainu," one of the three former admirals of the Navy, known for his absolute lethality and fearless fighting style!

He is a top-tier general-level expert who fought Aokiji for several days and finally defeated him!

He is now the most fearsome frontal assault force in the independent navy, besides Gern and Barrett!

Faced with Sakazuki's "actions speak louder than words" mentality...

Their aggressive, dog-like fighting style, where every move is a lethal attack, means that any moment of carelessness can be fatal!

"Drink!"

With a sharp shout, Gu Sheng of Greene advanced instead of retreating!

He drew his rapier, neither dodging nor avoiding, and thrust straight at the direction Sakazuki was charging from!

next moment

"clang!!!!!!!!"

The giant lava fist clashed with the rapier!

There was no probing, no detours; it was a head-on clash of pure power and energy right from the start!

A deafening metallic crackle and an explosion of energy resounded through the sky!

Sakazuki and Gringu Sheng's figures touched and separated instantly at the center of the explosion, each sliding back several meters, leaving deep tracks beneath their feet.

Sakas base stood still, its molten fists emitting wisps of white smoke, with magma flowing inside the fist surfaces.

Green Saint's arm holding the sword felt slightly numb.

It's a tie!

In their first pure clash of strength, the two were evenly matched!

“Interesting…” Akainu sneered, “As expected of… the ‘Commander-in-Chief’ of the Knights of God.”

"but……"

"Today, your life, you old watchdog, is over..."

"I, Sakazuki, accept it!!!"

Sakazuki's arms suddenly expanded, transforming into giant arms made entirely of boiling, churning dark red lava!

The extreme heat caused the surrounding air to distort violently, refracting light and blurring the scene!

The lava lake beneath our feet seemed to be summoned, churning violently!

"A massive fireball!!!"

Without charging up or giving any warning, Sakazuki's fighting style has always been to fight rather than talk!

He transformed his right arm into a giant lava fist made of molten lava, then simulated the terrifying impact of a volcanic eruption.

The entire lava giant arm was launched like a cannonball!

A giant lava fist, over ten meters in diameter, trailing billowing black smoke and scorching flames, crashed down toward Grin Ancient Saint with an aura of utter destruction!

"Good timing!"

Green Saint stepped forward!

He gripped the rapier tightly with both hands, his own Armament Haki swirling around him!

"Sever it!"

He exhaled sharply, twisting his waist and channeling all his strength and domineering aura into this single sword strike.

From bottom to top, it slashed out against the sky-covering giant lava fist!

A slash, soaring into the sky!

The slash and the giant lava fist collided fiercely in mid-air!

The massive eruption of fire was forcefully cleaved in two by that incomparably sharp strike, transforming into two enormous chunks of lava.

It hurtled down towards both sides of the platform, causing a secondary explosion and fire!

but! !

Just as the slash shattered the massive eruption of fire, sending light and molten lava fragments flying and obscuring the view...

A crimson figure, without warning, pierced through the center of the explosion and appeared in front of Gringu Saint!

It was Sakazuki!

Using lava jets for propulsion, he transformed himself into a humanoid cannonball, completing a high-speed close-range assault the instant the massive flames were cleaved in two!

"Netherhound!"

Sakazuki's chilling declaration is imminent!

"Huh?!" Grimm Saint only had time to desperately tilt his head back while simultaneously holding his sword horizontally in front of him!

but.......

False Penetration: Flowing Infant's Overbearing Aura.

True penetration: Hades!

"Pfft!!!"

Akainu's Hades easily tore through Gringu Saint's defenses and plunged into his left cheek!

"Ahhhh!!!"

A piercing, distorted scream erupted from the mouth of Grimm!

The terrifying impact sent him flying backward, crashing heavily into the ruins behind the platform, shattering bricks and stones!

Smoke and dust filled the air.

As the smoke and dust cleared slightly, one could see the ancient saint Green kneeling on the ground, supporting his body with his sword.

His left cheek... was a complete mess.

A hole the size of a bowl appeared in the area below the left eye, including the cheekbone, the left side of the nose, and part of the upper jaw!

His remaining right eye was filled with rage, horror, and a hint of disbelief.

One glance!

Just one glance!

With sufficient intelligence and adequate precautions

He, the supreme commander of the Knights of God, actually had half of his face knocked off by Sakazuki!

Chapter 727 Multiple Storylines: Rabbit and Snake (Part Two)

The main battlefield of the Holy Land, the outer area of ​​Pangu City.

The magnificent crystal chandelier was scattered all over the floor.

"call out!"

A sharp, piercing sound tore through the air!

A giant snake composed of several thorny vines covered in barbs.

Twisting and darting like a living creature, from different tricky angles

It lunged at the petite and agile figure in the center of the arena!

Somaz Saint, the ruler of the Thorn Serpent and a member of the Knights of God, stood on a high, dilapidated terrace.

He was dressed in a magnificent yet practical, tailored knight's uniform, his face filled with resentment.

With his hands outstretched, he controlled the attack trajectory of each thorn snake.

"Hmph, it's you again, you annoying rabbit."

Somaz Saint clearly recognized his opponent.

He had fought against this naval "White Rabbit" during the battle for the Mother Spark.

His opponent's uncanny speed and powerful physical skills left a deep impression on him.

Despite being surrounded, Libo remained remarkably calm.

The rabbit's ears stood straight up, facing the snake's head attacking from the left.

Instead of retreating, she advanced, her slender waist twisting...

As if he had no bones, he narrowly missed the poisonous thorn!

At the same time, his right ankle slammed backward at an incredible angle onto the broken half of the stone pillar behind him!

"boom!"

Fine cracks have appeared on the surface of the stone pillar!

Libo used the reaction force to flip backward and upward in mid-air!

The movements are fluid and graceful, like a gymnastics performance, yet full of the explosive power of actual combat and the unique flexibility and agility of the rabbit fur tribe.

After all, she's Lippo Hope, the woman who can jump to the moon!!!

While still in mid-air, Libo's hands had already reached from her waist.

Two orange daggers, shaped like oversized carrots and with exceptionally sharp tips, were already in his hands!

A flash of cold light!

"Rabbit Tooth Combo Slash - Slash!"

Libo shouted, her flipped body momentarily frozen in mid-air, her arms turning into two blurry afterimages!

"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"

Three slashes!

Three thorny snakes, chasing from below and the side, were cleanly severed at her most critical "seven-inch" joints just before they were about to touch her body!

The fracture surface is smooth and the piece is broken into four pieces.

Libo executed a nimble backflip, landing gracefully, the carrot dagger twirling beautifully in her hand.

Her pink eyes peered through the rising dust at Saint Somaz on the terrace, her tone relaxed.
