Fish-Man Race, Prepare for Battle!
Black Marlin.
One of the six Super Danger Beasts discovered in the Teigu World, and one of the four Super Danger Beasts still alive.
It looks like a giant sailfish that is completely black and hundreds of meters long. 'Marin' is actually the world's synonym for sailfish.
At the same time.
It was also the provider of the biological material for the Teigu 'Water Dragon Possession'.
The current Teigu is Wali, the Imperial Navy Vice Admiral Aokiji took back to the Star Gate Base along with Esdeath.
Therefore, this giant sailfish possesses extremely powerful water control abilities.
Combined with its unparalleled swimming speed in the water and its incredibly tough, long, pointed upper jaw, its individual strength is in no way inferior to the previous Nine-Tails white fox 'Red Lotus'.
If the battle were to take place at sea, they would likely be even stronger.
At the same time,
These super- Danger Beasts are no less intelligent than clever humans, far surpassing those Danger Beasts that rely solely on wild instincts.
However, Aokiji was more concerned about the peculiar energy they possessed.
Before coming.
Sakazuki had already told Aokiji and the Admiral of the Three Armies who were arriving one after another about Red Lotus's possession of Haki- like energy.
CIPHER POL also immediately inquired with Melard had already joined the team.
After all, this person was the former commander of the Imperial 'Oarburgh' assassination squad, so he must have a much better understanding of Danger Beasts than most people in the Teigu World.
This alluring yet dangerous woman surprisingly requested to see Esdeath.
Yes.
It wasn't a demand, it was a request, because after making this request, she directly revealed the information she knew, indicating that she had no intention of threatening the World Government.
Honestly, she's very clever. This woman is incredibly smart; she has a perfect grasp of the situation.
CIPHER POL headquarters actually asked the Five Elders if they could reveal Esdeath's current situation to Melard.
The Five Elders could only pass the buck to Lord Imu.
Imu, on the other hand, casually told Esdeath about it, asking if she wanted Melard to know or if they could meet up sometime.
Esdeath replied that she could reveal the answer, but did not want to meet for the time being, and sent a message to Melard.
Let her live peacefully in CIPHER POL. As long as she doesn't die, the two of them will meet again sooner or later. But hopefully, she will be stronger by then.
Meanwhile, the World Government, through Melard's revelation, also learned about the Empire's research records from six hundred years ago.
The fundamental difference between super Danger Beasts and special Danger Beasts lies in the fact that the latter can only activate their own bloodline and physical strength, while the former can absorb energy from nature.
This results in Super Danger Beasts possessing far greater energy than Extraordinary Danger Beasts, and also allows them to unleash various attacks with extraordinary power.
Natural Energy!
This is the second type of Otherworld energy the World Government has encountered, following the Kabane's 'Fear Spirit Energy'.
Previously, even the strongest 'Nue' form of Kabaneri didn't seem to have a particularly high power ceiling, so it didn't attract much attention.
But this time it's different.
These super- Danger Beasts clearly possess combat strength comparable to that of Admiral.
[Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!]
Just then, the giant Black Sailfish, known as Black Marlin, once again manipulated the surrounding seawater to launch a fierce attack on Aokiji and the surrounding warships.
First, Uzumaki Clan appeared on the sea surface, followed by spiraling Water Hashira, spinning rapidly and carrying a faint Black Mist, shooting into the sky and then swooping down in perfect curves.
Their numbers can reach hundreds!
At the same time.
Black Marlin's true form plunged into the deep sea and disappeared without a trace.
"Ara ara, looks like we're about to get serious about this!"
Strands of frost spread from Kuzan's neck to his cheeks.
Although his tone was still as gentle as ever, if Tsuru were present, she would have been able to tell that he was serious.
Ice Shield
He pulled his right hand out of his pristine white pocket, and when the spiraling Water Hashira were still hundreds of meters above the ground, an incredibly fast blue light bloomed at his fingertips.
The next moment.
Even Giyu Tomioka, who was standing behind Kuzan, only felt a flash before his eyes and then saw all the Water Hashira in the air.
They had completely turned into icicles floating there, emitting wisps of cold air.
"So strong!"
Giyu Tomioka, who was usually calm and quiet, unconsciously swallowed.
Huh?
Then, Kuzan was constantly exhaling cold air, let out a surprised sound.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of those icicles with a crackling sound.
The process was very brief, but it was enough to capture everyone's attention.
The next second.
With a series of loud bangs and cracking sounds, the frost on the surface of the spiral Water Hashira shattered one after another.
Although it is smaller in size, its rotation speed is also much slower.
But they could still crash into the World Government's fleet.
Unbelievable!
Navy Admiral Aokiji couldn't freeze these rapidly spinning water currents!
"Is it the vibration caused by the rotation, or the effect of the Black Mist?"
Kuzan seemed to ponder this scene, then unleashed an even more powerful burst of cold air.
With a whoosh.
In the blink of an eye, the spiral Water Hashira that were about to hit the ground were frozen again.
This time, they failed to shatter the frost and fell like large hailstones, finally colliding with the frozen sea surface and breaking into a pile of scattered ice fragments.
"Call--"
Kuzan exhaled a breath of icy air that could freeze a person, and said softly, "It seems to be related to both of them."
"Not good!"
Sudden.
Giyu Tomioka and the rest of the navy felt a chill run down their spines, a strong sense of crisis rising in their hearts.
Meanwhile, some officers who possessed Observation Haki quickly noticed a terrifying aura rapidly approaching from the seabed beneath the warship.
It turns out that Kuzan had only frozen the sea in front of the warships.
So the Black Marlin bypassed the part frozen by Kuzan from the deeper seabed.
Then, they launched a fierce attack from underwater towards Kuzan's location.
Imagine it.
Deep beneath the sea, a colossal object, hundreds of meters long, hurtles towards the steel hull of a battleship at near-sonic speeds, like a giant torpedo.
Not only that.
Kuzan and the others, using their Observation Haki, also detected that besides Black Marlin, there were hundreds of other auras of varying strengths approaching their respective warships from below at extremely high speeds.
This prompted Yamakaji, who had just returned from the sea, was injured, and looked somewhat disheveled, to immediately issue an order to be on alert underwater.
At the same time, the Fish-Man Unit were ordered to immediately go to sea to engage the enemy, and to make sure to protect the hull of the warships.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the order, Fisher Tiger led Aladdin and the rest of the Fish-Man Race navy from the deck into the sea without hesitation.
Although Tiger was also Marine Vice Admiral, he had to obey the orders of Yamakaji, who was the fleet commander.
These Fish-Man Race warriors, dressed in naval uniforms, displayed extraordinary swimming speed as soon as they entered the sea, and soon they saw the dark figures rushing down from below.
"They're all sailfish?!"
Aladdin, holding his long knife, exclaimed in surprise.
Yes.
They saw Danger Beasts of sailfish, some long, some short, and all different colors, charging towards them with their long, pointed upper jaws.
"Marlins seem to be gregarious."
Tiger said something in a low voice, then roared at his fellow fish-men, "Fish-Man Race, prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
Nearly five hundred Fish-Man Race warriors echoed in unison.
"Kill!"
"Crush them!!"
