The sound of air being torn apart exploded outward.
In rapid succession, four Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals landed in front of Vice Admiral Onigumo, vaguely surrounding him at the center as they looked at him with deep concern.
"Vice Admiral Onigumo…"
"Can you still fight?"
"Are you alright?"
"Drip… drip…"
Crimson blood flowed down from the savage wound across his chest.
Onigumo tore off the Marine justice cloak from his back and wrapped it tightly around his torso, crudely bandaging the wound.
Then—
Two more swords condensed in his hands.
Eight blades glinted with cold light, their frigid aura seeming capable of tearing everything apart.
On his ferocious face, his icy pupils locked onto Wushuang as he said in a chilling voice:
"Take down this reckless bastard!"
Taking the lead himself—
The mont those words fell, Onigumo ignored the wound on his body and shot forward explosively. His eight blades ripped through the sky, carrying streams of air with them, their domineering sharpness splitting the atmosphere itself.
"Life Return!"
"One hundred percent!!!"
A terrifying, inexplicable energy surged from his entire body, violently shaking the surrounding space.
As he advanced through the air at blinding speed, Onigumo let out another furious roar.
Strands of black energy erupted around him, coiling around all eight of his blades.
Veins bulged wildly beneath his skin, muscles swelling as his body grew noticeably larger in an instant.
A dark aura even ford the vague outline of an enormous spider behind him.
And the wound across his chest gradually stopped bleeding.
Life Return—
Was a secret art controlled by the Marines and the World Governnt, one even more profound than the Six Powers.
It allowed a person's latent potential to erupt in an instant.
And the higher the Life Return percentage—
The greater the potential unleashed.
However—
The price was life force itself.
At one hundred percent Life Return, Onigumo's strength surged dramatically, but his vitality was also burning away at terrifying speed.
"Chaotic Reversal Slash!"
The dark spider tore across the heavens, its eight arms dancing wildly as eight blades wrapped in black energy continuously ripped through the sky.
An endless rain of slashes ford a vast sword net that descended from above.
"A boring trick."
Clicking his tongue, Wushuang sneered dismissively and lashed out with his right claw.
The claw print tore through the air, splitting the heavens as it surged upward against the torrent of black slashes.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Explosions roared across the sky.
Terrifying waves of energy burst outward in all directions.
Strands of black lightning writhed through the center of the collision as circles of violent air exploded outward, forming a veil of mist.
Wave after wave of powerful impact detonated without end.
Eight arms moved frantically.
The eight blades, reinforced by black energy and Armant Haki, danced in a wild frenzy.
Yet facing that dense storm of attacks, Wushuang rely swung his claws, leaving behind afterimages.
Every single strike—
Accurately intercepted the eight dancing blades.
"Zoan-type! Cat King Fruit!"
"Paracia! Mad Iron Fruit!"
"Finger Pistol! Tyrant Spear!"
"Tempest Kick! Tyrant Destroyer!"
Murderous intent surged in all directions.
The instant the two sides clashed, killing intent erupted from every angle.
The four Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals followed directly behind Onigumo, each unleashing their full strength without holding anything back.
"Hmph!"
Faced with deadly intent coming from all sides, Wushuang's expression didn't change in the slightest. He rely let out a cold snort.
Suddenly, he stopped attacking.
He crossed both hands before his chest as violent, surging energy continuously rose from his body.
Ripples spread outward.
Black energy ravaged the sky.
"Life Weapon!"
"Mighty Claw!"
With a low shout—
The space around his crossed hands trembled. Faintly, it was as if invisible energy pierced through the void, gradually coating both of his claws.
A decaying aura intertwined with the darkness of the abyss.
That lonely, peerless sharpness alone was enough to shake the soul.
Life Weapon—Mighty Claw—
Was Wushuang's life weapon, containing terrifying power perfectly attuned to his soul.
For every warrior of the Nether Race, their life weapon was equivalent to a second soul, completely linked to their will.
In fact—
A great portion of their power ca from it.
After his role-playing progress as Defying the Heavens had reached sixty percent, his strength had already stepped into the Admiral tier.
Now that his life weapon had manifested, Wushuang's power surged explosively.
At this mont—
He was a true Admiral-level combatant.
Even if he was not as strong as Sakazuki, Kuzan, or Borsalino—
He was unquestionably at the Admiral level.
"Slash—!"
A terrifying sharpness erupted.
Countless black edges tore through the surroundings, turning the area into a zone of emptiness.
Circles of black gale spun outward at incredible speed as innurable tiny blades ripped apart everything in their path.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Including Onigumo—
The Marine Headquarters elite Vice Admiral and the four other Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals were all blasted apart by the raging black energy.
The killing intent from every direction was completely severed.
Amid the violent explosion, the five Vice Admirals were sent crashing onto the deck in miserable states.
Inside Impel Down—
Hearing the renewed commotion, CP0 Agent Seven and Sakazuki both frowned.
Before CP0 Agent Seven could react—
"Moshi moshi…"
"Moshi moshi moshi…"
The Den Den Mushi in his hand rang first.
Frowning, he picked it up, only to hear the anxious voice of a Marine soldier from the other side:
"CP0 Agent Seven!"
"Soone is assaulting the fleet! Vice Admiral Onigumo, Vice Admiral Moka, Vice Admiral Sara… they've all been beaten back!"
"The enemy is extrely powerful! Requesting reinforcents!"
"Hm?"
Hearing this, CP0 Agent Seven's frown deepened.
Before he could speak—
"Anyone who dares disrupt justice…"
"…will be burned to ashes by personally!!!"
Behind him, Sakazuki had already risen to his feet, his face full of killing intent.
Magma surged from his body, and scorching waves of heat spread through the air, causing the surrounding temperature to skyrocket.
Ever since his arm had been severed by the Ancient King, a fire of rage had been burning inside him.
And now—
At such a critical mont—
Soone actually dared provoke the World Governnt's authority again.
How could he possibly endure it?
After leaving behind those harsh words, his body transford directly into magma and shot into the sky amid endless heat waves.
The one who dared disrupt the World Governnt's order—
Had to die!
Seeing this, CP0 Agent Seven's expression eased slightly.
Though he was deeply dissatisfied with Onigumo and the others—
He believed that with Sakazuki's strength, he would certainly drag that fool back here.
Then kill him in front of the world—
And forge the supre authority of the World Governnt!
"Well, well, well… to think soone would dare challenge the Marines at a ti like this…"
"He really is… like so kind of monster…"
Sprawled lazily across his chair, Borsalino adjusted his sunglasses and spoke in an exaggerated tone.
Still, despite his dramatic words, he didn't take it too seriously.
He knew Sakazuki's strength very well.
Without question, he stood at the peak of power on this sea.
And existences like the Ancient King—
Were extraordinarily rare.
With both hands shaped into claws and the life weapon Mighty Claw covering them, Wushuang advanced proudly across the deck.
Around him stood Marines and officers packed tightly together.
In every direction, the commanders of the five warships, along with Onigumo and the other Vice Admirals, lay sprawled miserably inside the craters they had smashed into.
Faced with hundreds upon thousands of black gun barrels pointed at him, Wushuang's expression remained unchanged as he slowly walked toward Onigumo, one step at a ti.
"Stop right there!"
In front of Onigumo, a Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral led more than a hundred Marines, aiming their guns at Wushuang as he shouted coldly.
Though his tone was icy—
His legs were trembling uncontrollably where no one could see.
Too terrifying!
This being that had appeared out of nowhere was simply too terrifying!
He had so easily defeated Vice Admiral Onigumo and four other Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals!
Such strength—
He had barely seen its like even across the sea!
"So noisy."
Wushuang glanced at the Marine Rear Admiral and casually waved his right hand.
His claw tore through the air, strands of black energy wrapping around it as it ripped through the sky.
"Slash—!"
The invisible claw mark descended before the Rear Admiral and the surrounding Marines could even react.
Blood and flesh exploded everywhere.
The Rear Admiral at the front was instantly torn apart by the claw mark.
The raging black sharpness behind it shredded the group of Marines standing behind him as well.
The entire massive warship was drenched in blood.
A rain of crimson poured down, staining the azure sea with a grotesque scarlet.
If not for the Seastone devices installed outside Impel Down, such a thick scent of blood would likely have already drawn a swarm of Sea Kings.
"Damn it! Damn it…"
"Damn you! Just who… are you?"
"And what… is your purpose?"
At the far end of the deck—
Onigumo was covered in black wounds. Crimson blood and black energy intertwined within each of those savage gashes.
Six of his extended arms had been shattered completely.
His Life Return had been forcibly broken.
Blood pooled beneath his feet.
At that mont, he leaned both hands on a sword, forcing himself to stand. His fierce eyes were filled with incomprehension.
He truly couldn't understand it.
Where had such a powerful figure co from?
And why—
Would he risk certain death to launch a surprise attack on the Marines?
There was no denying it—
This mysterious man was strong, at the very least quasi-Admiral level.
But before the lineup assembled by the World Governnt this ti—
He had no chance of victory whatsoever.
Under such circumstances—
Once the monsters inside Impel Down ca out—
There would be only one path left for him.
Death.
