Several others leaped up alongside Akainu.
Because they had restrained their Conqueror's Haki earlier, the Vice Admirals from Navy Headquarters aboard this fleet had not lost any combat ability. They now charged at Bright alongside Akainu.
"Meaningless."
Bright could not even be bothered to spare the other Vice Admirals a glance.
He simply floated quietly in the sky, while the attacking Vice Admirals' expressions changed drastically as they drew near, and they hurriedly retreated.
Only after closing the distance did the Vice Admirals realize that if they actually touched Bright, they would probably melt in an instant.
