Cat-Cat Fruit Awakening! Extreme Cold Realm!

Marineford, in front of the Marine Headquarters building

Hawk Eyes and the other Shichibukai arrived at the address Senga had given them, only to find Senga already standing at the edge of Marineford's walls.

Senga had her back to them, her gaze fixed on the inner bay outside the wall, which she estimated to be about three hundred meters in diameter.

If we need to use Susanoo, this inner bay area will be sufficient.

The group looked around but found no suitable place to fight, which puzzled them.

Are they really going to fight right in front of the Naval Building? Does Purple Kirin want this area to be renovated?

Hawk Eyes seemed indifferent. Senga didn't care about such things, then he cared even less. He only cared about the battle that was about to begin.

Hawk Eyes, already prepared for battle, looked at Senga and said...

"Shall we begin our battle now?"

Senga turned around and said somewhat mysteriously,

"Of course, but I need to create a suitable environment for combat first."

"A suitable environment for combat? Shouldn't we fight here?"

"No, this is Marine Headquarters. Are you going to pay for the repairs if anything gets damaged?"

"Forehead..."

A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Hawk Eyes's face. Paying for the Navy's repairs was out of the question; Tianlai Novel Network sounded too absurd.

Senga knew it was impossible to get this guy to pay, so she wanted to avoid damaging the headquarters environment.

After all, the current Marine Headquarters is like Senga's home in the Pirate World, and he definitely won't allow it to be destroyed.

In any case, no one but myself will do!

Thinking of this, Senga's body floated up, seemingly preparing to make a move. Hawk Eyes's hand also reached behind him, drawing the Black Blade Night, and the atmosphere in the arena became tense.

Just then,

"Stop it, all of you! Do you want to tear down Marine Headquarters?!"

Bang! A burly figure descended from the sky—it was Sengoku, who had just jumped out of the office window.

As soon as he landed, he quickly walked between Senga and Hawk Eyes, looking at Hawk Eyes with a serious expression and said,

"This is not a suitable place for fighting. If you insist on fighting, you are declaring war on the Navy!"

Hawk Eyes frowned and looked at Senga.

Senga did not disappoint Hawk Eyes; he said to Sengoku,

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you don't need to worry. The battle later won't destroy a single brick or tile of headquarters."

"Hmm? What are you planning to do?"

Senga smiled slightly, and black flames ignited in her hands. Strangely, the appearance of the Black Flame did not bring any heat, but instead emitted a bone-chilling cold.

Sengoku's pupils contracted as he looked at the Black Flame on Senga's hands. He recognized the flames; they were the special ability attached to the Matatabi Fruit.

He had personally given Senga this Matatabi Fruit, so of course he wouldn't forget it.

What is Senga trying to do by suddenly using the fruit's power?

Senga didn't explain further; Sengoku would naturally understand his meaning later.

Using the power of the Heavenly Dao, Senga flew directly towards the inner bay, about to plunge into the sea.

The Shichibukai were startled by Senga's actions.

They've already decided that Senga is Devil Fruit User, and it's common knowledge that Ability User can't swim.

To them, Senga's actions were tantamount to suicide.

Hancock panicked and rushed to the edge, intending to jump down as well.

Fortunately, Sengoku grabbed her arm. He knew that Senga was not afraid of seawater at all, so he was not worried about Senga's safety.

Hancock, who had been pulled back, turned around and glared at Sengoku, angrily saying,

"What's wrong with you! Don't you know he's Ability User? Go save him!"

Sengoku was bewildered by Hancock's behavior, wondering what was going on with Boa Hancock? Wasn't she always supposed to hate men? Why did she seem so worried about Senga?

However, seeing how impatient Hancock was, Sengoku still explained it to her.

"Senga's situation is a bit special; he's not afraid of seawater. Please calm down."

"Are you kidding me? How could Ability User not be afraid of seawater!?"

"You'll see for yourself as you read on."

Hancock was furious at Sengoku's calm Sengoku. She looked down angrily and immediately spotted Senga standing steadily on the water.

Seeing that Senga was alright, Hancock immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't interested in why Senga wasn't afraid of seawater; as long as Senga was alright, that was all that mattered to her—that's the Empress's love-struck mind.

At this moment, Senga, who was standing on the water, suddenly knelt down on one knee and pressed her hands, which were burning with Black Flame, onto the sea.

The Tomoe in her right eye began to tremble, Senga called out in her heart.

"Metis, have you had enough sleep?"

"Hehe, Master, you finally remembered me! I thought you had forgotten about me!"

A mature, elegant voice rang out; it was none other than the long-absent Matatabi Metis.

As Senga's Rinnegan's Pupil Power continued to increase, she, within the Rinnegan, was nourished by the surging Pupil Power.

However, because Senga's Pupil Power increased too rapidly, she also fell into a deep sleep.

She only woke up after Senga's right eye's Pupil Power stabilized.

However, she was a bit lazy after waking up. Since Senga didn't wake her, she stayed obediently in the Rinnegan, occasionally disciplining the dog that suddenly started breathing fire.

But Senga never called her, as if he had forgotten about her. This made Metis a little angry, and she decided to never talk to this fickle master again unless he begged her for help!

As a result, I broke down in my guard today just because of Senga's call, which is really a bit embarrassing for me.

"Metis, now I am about to unleash your full power. Be prepared."

"Master, you mean that Awakening state, right? It's okay, I can do it anytime!"

Senga was relieved to receive Metis's response. Metis was a life form he had created, and before Awakening the Matatabi Fruit, he wanted to confirm whether it would have any impact on Metis.

Since there are no problems with Metis, it's time to begin Awakening the Matatabi Fruit.

Once Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit Awakening, it not only greatly enhances physical attributes, but also significantly amplifies its associated special abilities.

The Pupil Power surged into the Tomoe belonging to the Matatabi Fruit in his right eye, and his Awakening had begun.

A black cat phantom appeared behind Senga, and a ribbon formed of black flames wrapped around Senga's body.

The Black Flame on his hands burned even more intensely, and an extremely cold aura spread out, causing many soldiers in Marineford to shiver involuntarily.

Sengoku looked down at Senga in horror at the drop in temperature in the air. This feeling was like Aokiji's Ice Age!

Moreover, Senga's current demeanor definitely indicates that he has developed the Matatabi Fruit to its Awakening state, and Sengoku's Buddha-Buddha Fruit has also Awakening; he couldn't be mistaken.

But how many years did it take him to reach the state of Devil Fruit Awakening? Senga? And this might not even be the first Devil Fruit Senga Awakening!

Sengoku received news from Aokiji Akainu that Senga's Senga -Rumble-Rumble Fruit was suspected of Awakening, but before he could confirm it, he witnessed this scene. The impact on Sengoku was unimaginable.

An absurd idea popped into Sengoku's mind.

"Is Senga's current power enough to wipe out a Four Emperors crew?!"

Senga had no idea that Sengoku had started to let his thoughts wander; he had already completed the Awakening of the Matatabi Fruit.

The pupil in the middle of the right Rinnegan had changed into a flickering black flame. Senga narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice,

"The Extreme Cold Realm!"

Whoosh! Black Flame spread from Senga's hands, and in an instant, towering Black Flame ignited on the entire inner bay.

Not only in this inner bay, but the area of Black Flame continues to expand, extending all the way to the sea beyond Marineford.

Senga stood amidst the Black Flame, uttering a single word softly.

"Receive."

The next second, the seemingly inextinguishable Black Flame vanished completely, revealing an endless expanse of ice radiating a bone-chilling cold.

In a flash, Senga was back on the wall. He looked at Hawk Eyes, who was still standing there in a daze, and said with a smile,

"So, are you satisfied with this environment?"
