Enies Lobby.
The situation is becoming increasingly tense.
Everyone is glancing around, waiting for the conflict between the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates to erupt. Everyone knows today's events will not end peacefully.
The Whitebeard Pirates are certainly here to regain face for Marco and Fire Fist Ace; the Marines are determined not to bow to a pirate, no matter how strong this pirate is, especially after the arrogant remarks of a Navy Vice Admiral!
"Do you have a problem with what I said?"
Akihara Kagura stood his ground, watching Moby Dick at the harbor, calmly speaking again, "Edward Newgate, do you want to make a move?"
"You bastard, show some respect to Pops!"
Akihara Kagura's words did not anger Whitebeard; instead, they enraged Whitebeard's sons, and a figure suddenly leapt from aboard Moby Dick!
This Navy Vice Admiral...
Actually dared to call Whitebeard by his real name!
Whitebeard Pirates' fifth division captain 'Flower Sword' Vista jumped off the ship and charged onto Enies Lobby, grasping two rapiers, covered with Armament Haki, swinging them to slash at Akihara Kagura!
Most of the time, Whitebeard Pirates' Flower Sword Vista is the least impulsive, but when it comes to Whitebeard's matters, Flower Sword Vista becomes more impulsive than any other son, to the point where someone needs to hold him back!
Flower Sword Vista had already rushed onto the island, swinging his rapiers into the air, aiming two slashes to cut Akihara Kagura's body into three!
Boom!
A pitch-black Thunder Spear appeared in Akihara Kagura's hand!
Akihara Kagura raised the Thunder Spear, sweeping it to deflect the incoming slashes, then quickly threw the pitch-black Thunder Spear at Vista!
Bam!
Flower Sword Vista raised his dual swords to try and block!
The fifth division captain flying out was knocked back, and the pitch-black lightning continued flying straight at him, threatening to completely pierce through his body!
"Vista!"
Whitebeard Pirates' third division captain Diamond Jozu rushed out, stomping on the deck and charging up, knocking Flower Sword Vista's body away to prevent his brother from being pierced by the pitch-black lightning!
After all...
Everyone present could see the attack power of that Thunder Spear!
Diamond Jozu's half-body suddenly turned into hard diamond, raising his arm to resist the incoming pitch-black lightning, the tough diamond shoulder clashing against the black lightning, the diamond shoulder surprisingly pierced through in an instant!
Clearly...
Diamond Jozu's proud defense was ineffective!
Up until now, Whitebeard Pirates' third division captain Diamond Jozu is a Twinkle-Twinkle Fruit ability user, known for having the strongest defense, able to easily withstand even Sword Masters' slashes!
No one expected...
Diamond Jozu's defense to be broken so swiftly!
In the blink of an eye...
Flower Sword Vista and Diamond Jozu, the two division captains who struck first, already showed everyone they were not a match for the Navy Vice Admiral!
"Admiral Kagura!"
"To suppress two Whitebeard Pirates captains with one move! Those are the renowned Diamond Jozu and Flower Sword Vista in the New World!"
The Marines on Enies Lobby instantly cheered!
Initially, all Marines felt a pressure as heavy as a mountain when the Whitebeard Pirates arrived, but their hearts suddenly relaxed when Akihara Kagura suppressed the opponents!
"Is that all you can do?"
"Whitebeard..."
"It seems your sons aren't very capable..."
Akihara Kagura walked step by step toward Moby Dick at the harbor, speaking calmly, "Your sons are weak, they only dare to be arrogant under your protection, yet as you are now, aging like a candle in the wind, how much longer can you protect them?"
"You!"
Flower Sword Vista and Diamond Jozu simultaneously enraged!
"Vista, Jozu, come back."
Whitebeard ordered his two sons back, looking at the Marine Vice Admiral who provoked him, slowly narrowing his eyes, "It's not for a brat like you to know..."
The world's strongest man stared at Akihara Kagura, enveloped in pitch-black currents, his Haki unconsciously starting to emit from him.
"Some strength..."
"No wonder this brat is so arrogant..."
Whitebeard was familiar with the world's tough individuals, and was not surprised by Akihara Kagura's daringness, given his bit of strength.
Such provocation...
This time cannot be ignored!
Plus, Whitebeard originally intended to teach the Navy Vice Admiral who defeated Marco and Ace a lesson, letting everyone on the sea know he protects his own, and letting those eyeing Whitebeard Pirates dare not cross the line!
"Brat..."
Whitebeard released his Haki fully, substantial Supreme King Haki pouring from him, "But talking to me, you're not qualified..."
Whitebeard tapped his large sword against the deck, his Haki stirring up the winds with his laughter, "Gurararara... Better call Sengoku, that old guy instead!"
This Supreme King Haki, under his control, slowly surged toward Akihara Kagura, the sky churning under the pressure of the Supreme King Haki!
