Rumble!
Under the substantial impact of Supreme King's Haki, the sky filled with a black and red hue, becoming an ominous black-red sky.
Sage, stepping on a black cloud, quickly rose into the sky, overlooking the surging Sea of Trees that covered half the island, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth. He then stretched a hand towards the sky and clenched it heavily.
"Ten Thousand Thunders!"
Rumble!
In the center of the island's sky, countless black and red thunders descended together, as if the sky was being spammed, striking the Sea of Trees below.
Sage didn't know if the thunder could shatter darkness, but the current thunder could definitely crack the Sea of Trees of this magnitude, and as it shattered the trees, it ignited flames, turning the center of half the island into a sea of fire.
Among the giant trees within the sea of fire, the trees still extended, rolling and rising on the ground, growing taller and, under the flames, turning into a mountain of fiery trees.
They also resembled deep-sea tentacles, climbing upward with the flames.
"Disaster Wind!"
Sage stretched his hand again, causing the sky to stir up a wind sharp enough to cut a person in half, slicing through the tree tentacles and driving the flames downward.
The wind fueled the fire, making it burn even more intensely below.
"No matter how strong the wind, a forest can block it! As long as there's enough, any fire can be extinguished! Firebreak Forest!"
The Sea of Trees, burning in the sea of fire, was interrupted by a safe distance at the rear, while a dense forest rose around it, and with roots entwining, fiercely plunged into the fire, pressing it out bit by bit.
The power of the Logia-type has always been strong, and every Logia-type has shown amazing resilience.
Regular elemental attacks are not much use, just meaningless exchanges.
"Then let's fight another way."
Sage leaped from the black cloud, which shrank and merged into his cloak.
Rumble!
The sky thunder roared, briefly illuminating the scene below as Aramaki looked up to see dense, meteor-like objects.
In that instant, Sage's hands disappeared in motion, and beneath the sky, like meteor fragments, countless Haki Bullets exploded from the focal points of Sage's hands.
"Tenha Kassatsu: Meteor Shards!"
"Haki? It's so strong!"
Aramaki gritted his teeth, "But I won't admit defeat! Tree-sea Descend!"
Transforming into a Tree-man, Aramaki raised his hands, causing more tree roots to rise from the ground, intertwining and thickening, colliding with the oncoming Haki Bullets.
Bam bam bam!
The front of the tree roots were shattered by the Haki Bullets, but quickly the roots behind kept entangling and thickening until the power of the Haki Bullets diminished, and the roots continued to reach upward.
Bang!
Sage sneered, kicking into the air, and burst out with a smoke ring, diving straight down like an arrow, his fist tightly clenched, launching a strong Haki Shock.
"Hundred Ghosts Assault Break!"
Where the fist went, those entwined root trees were blasted open, Sage, like a falling star, shattered the surrounding trees, landing hard on the ground, creating a dent.
Upon landing, a red gleam flickered in Sage's eyes, staring in one direction, and he unleashed three consecutive impacts with his hand.
"Galaxy Impact·Continuous!"
Boom boom boom!
The first impact shattered the giant forest ahead, the second impact blasted open the hidden tree, and the third impact hit again before the tree could regenerate.
Clearly, Sage heard a muffled grunt.
"Damn bastard!"
From deep within the forest came Aramaki's furious voice, and around Sage, trees rose again from the ground, attacking him like tentacles.
"I see now."
Sage casually destroyed the attacking tree roots and smiled, "You're like Old Sand... Absorbing moisture, which means absorbing life force, but while he's drought, you're trees."
The Logia-type represents natural phenomena, not just a single-element form, it's merely a demonstration.
Kuzan represents 'freeze', so he uses ice as his form.
Crocodile represents 'drought', so he uses sand as his form.
This guy too, represents some form of nature, using the forest as a demonstration.
But reaching this level for a Logia-type is impressive.
"However, just by this, as an Admiral, you don't measure up..."
Sage soared into the air, clasping his hands together, gathering wind and thunder in his hands, locking onto a certain place in the dense forest below with Observation Haki.
"A true Admiral will not fear my Supreme King Haki, your spirit... needs more work!"
Sizzle!
The substantial Supreme King's Haki from his body targeted Aramaki, who transformed into a Tree-man below, and in the moment his mind trembled, instinctively restrained his power.
When people are panicked, their power indeed doesn't concentrate.
That's the impact of Supreme King's Haki, and even though Sage's isn't as good as Red Hair's, it can't be underestimated.
And this newly appointed Admiral, lacking the power to truly ignore the impact of Supreme King's Haki, is indeed affected.
Swoosh!
In the dual lock of Observation and Supreme King's Haki, Sage's figure flashed with a black-red light in the air, soaring into the deep jungle below like a descending thunderbolt.
The light swept by, shattering a large number of trees, and wind and thunder spread around.
