Sakazuki: Words Become Law? What Kind of Overpowered Fruit Is This?
Having taken down a knight with a single blow, Sakazuki looked at the tattered Justice Cloak on the ground, a hint of sorrow flashing in his eyes.
But Sakazuki quickly suppressed this sorrow, turning it into a flame of rage.
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield has also changed dramatically. Originally, after the Holy Knights led their charge, they almost broke the Marines's offensive formation.
But now, with Sakazuki and other high-ranking Marines officers entering the battlefield, the previously suppressed military formation began to rapidly regroup and once again unleashed the momentum to break through the Holy Land Guard's positions.
After Sakazuki killed a knight, he quickly attracted attention.
A knight dressed in strange armor, holding a knight's greatsword, fixed his gaze on Sakazuki from afar. However, unlike the previous knight, this knight had a pure white pattern on his shoulder armor.
This is the pattern that only the five great knights of the Holy Knights have. Celestial Dragons revere white and usually like to wear white robes. All the members of these Holy Knights are Celestial Dragons. In order to distinguish the status and strength between the great knights, those who can be promoted to great knights can use white patterns on their shoulder armor!
Sakazuki was of course aware of this information. Upon noticing the figure, Sakazuki frowned slightly in disgust and said softly, "Is it you? You claim to be no less capable than our Marine Admiral?"
The great knight, like the other knights, wore a helmet, obscuring his face.
"Sakazuki, traitors like you and Ortolan should be eliminated!" the great knight said in a deep voice.
The moment he finished speaking, he exerted force with his feet, and his figure shot out. Sakazuki's eyes also became much more serious at that moment. Putting everything else aside, at least this guy's explosive speed has indeed entered the ranks of top experts.
However, Sakazuki, a tough guy like him, naturally wouldn't choose to dodge. With a roar, thick smoke billowed from his body and lava flowed as he threw a punch, creating a huge Magma Fist!
The next instant, the Great Knight's long sword slashed fiercely at Sakazuki's enormous Magma Fist, which was erupting from it. To everyone's surprise, Sakazuki's massive magma fist vanished the moment it touched the sword.
It looks like it's been erased!
"Ability!?" Sakazuki was startled, his foot slipped, and he dodged backward a short distance.
As he dodged, the great knight slashed down again, and wherever his blade passed, all the magma objects that Sakazuki had left behind vanished once more.
Without a doubt, this is a skill.
Sakazuki had no prior knowledge of this ability, but as a highly experienced top-tier fighter like Marine Admiral, these two attacks had already given him a glimpse into its intricacies.
"You have to touch it to make it disappear... no... I should say clean it up?" Sakazuki suddenly remembered what this guy had said at the beginning.
Traitors should be eliminated.
Before Sakazuki could think any further, the sky above the area where the Great Knight was located suddenly burst into multicolored light. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that attacks of all sorts of attributes, such as fire, electricity, and ice, were raining down all at once.
The great knight was also very annoyed, wielding his greatsword to clear away all the various chaotic attacks coming at him.
At that moment, the Momonga appeared beside Sakazuki, smiling and saying, "Mr. Sakazuki, why don't you give me this? Your opponent seems to be waiting for you over there..."
As the flying Momonga spoke, it pointed into the distance.
The knights of the Holy Knights are all basically wearing helmets and face shields, so their faces are not revealed.
There was only one exception: the Chief Director of the Holy Knights, Figarland Saint Figarland!
At this moment, around Figarland Saint Figarland, there were many corpses of the Marines lying around. He lightly flicked the Blade of Judgment in his hand to shake off the blood on it, and looked at Sakazuki.
But he only glanced at Sakazuki and didn't look at him again.
It seems the person he's waiting for isn't Sakazuki.
"He didn't come? Bane Ortolan..." Saint Figarland frowned and whispered.
He did not see Ortolan on this battlefield.
However, just as this thought crossed his mind, a violent and scorching aura came from his side. Saint Figarland reacted very quickly, and with a light step, he instantly created distance between them.
The instant he left the spot, the rocks on the ground melted and turned into magma, gushing out.
Immediately, Sakazuki emerged from the lava and looked at the Saint Figarland: "What are you waiting for?"
Saint Figarland looked at Sakazuki with a completely unwavering gaze, only a slight hint of regret, and said, "It seems that Ortolan will not intervene before I kill you... So, Sakazuki, your crimes are unforgivable. Now, I will judge your sins!"
Sakazuki couldn't be bothered to listen to his rambling. Wild magma flowed from his body again, but just as Sakazuki was about to make his move, Saint Figarland Blade of Judgment.
Then, he spoke, "Law: No one may use any elemental abilities containing fire, heat, or other similar elements in this battle."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Sakazuki threw a punch, but the instant he made the move, he felt something was wrong. His wild and violent magma was no longer under his control; it had cooled down!
"This is!?" Sakazuki exclaimed in surprise once again.
The previous Great Knight's ability to eliminate and cleanse was already quite surprising to him, but now, this Saint Figarland can even directly seal his abilities?
Words become law!
What kind of outrageous reality is this?!
Are all Holy Knights fully equipped?
But while surprised, Sakazuki also keenly noticed some elements. First, this law seemed to be very unfair? The old man Saint Figarland described it as 'anyone,' meaning that, including himself, no one could use fire, heat, or related powers?
The moment Sakazuki's magma extinguished, the aura of the Saint Figarland flickered almost imperceptibly. An ordinary person might not have noticed it, but Sakazuki did. Then, he noticed that a line of sweat was trickling down the Saint Figarland's forehead!
Just by saying one sentence, the Saint Figarland had already consumed a large amount of his physical strength!
And if we speculate, magma is Sakazuki's most powerful and fundamental power. It's impossible that the Saint Figarland forcibly sealed this power through the so-called "laws". There must have been a price to pay, and it could even be said that the price was extremely high!
"The feeling of not being able to use your proud Logia-type abilities... is terrifying, isn't it?" Saint Figarland raised the Blade of Judgment and whispered.
Sakazuki paused for a moment, then forced a stiff smile onto his rugged face, saying with a slightly mocking tone, "You don't actually think that I became Marine Admiral because of the power of the Devil Fruit, do you?"
As he said this, Sakazuki bent down and pulled out a Marines commander's weapon that was stuck in the enemy's body.
After casually tossing it a few times, Sakazuki said with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, "However, it's been a long time since I've used it, and I wonder if I'll still be able to use it properly?"
The next second, a cold light flashed, and Sakazuki casually unleashed a sharp slash, heading straight for Saint Figarland. Saint Figarland also looked surprised, but his Blade of Judgment did not allow the slash to land.
Immediately afterward, Sakazuki pounced on Saint Figarland, and in an instant, the two exchanged blows dozens of times. The sound of blades clashing and steel colliding, along with the sharp aftershocks of their attacks, seemed to be the eye of a storm, spreading outward in all directions from the two of them!
A dozen seconds later, the voice of the Saint Figarland came again from the eye of the storm.
"Law: Higher quality weapons will cut through lower quality weapons!"
The moment the decree fell, the Blade of Judgment in the hand of the Saint Figarland severed the commanding aura of Sakazuki that was imbued with powerful Haki energy!
It's as if that Haki doesn't protect the blade at all!
But Sakazuki was not flustered at all. Almost at the same time that the blade was cut off, he seized the opportunity and punched Saint Figarland the face, sending him flying.
This also shows that Saint Figarland's combat experience is indeed much worse than that of a seasoned expert like Sakazuki. At the moment when he should have had the upper hand, Sakazuki seized the opportunity and instead he took a solid punch.
