The overwhelming aura of Conqueror's Haki spread across the entire battlefield without restraint.
Modo drew countless gazes with this display.
Those fighting on their own across the battlefield looked toward Modo, some astonished and others shocked by the terrifying aura radiating from his body.
After fighting to this point, it was difficult to imagine that Modo could still release an aura so brimming with vitality.
"What kind of monster is he...?"
It was not only the Marines and the Shichibukai—even the members of the Red-Haired Pirates who knew Modo could not help but share the same thought.
While focusing on Modo, many people finally noticed Sengoku lying at his feet.
"Hm?"
Seeing Sengoku's corpse, the numerous Marines were instantly stunned.
What had happened just now?
Why had Sengoku, the Inspector General, still been killed by Modo despite Admiral Kizaru being there?
The cruel result was difficult for the Marines to accept.
The morale of the Marines battling the Straw Hat Pirates and Jinbe beneath Impel Down was affected even more directly.
"Even Sengoku, the Inspector General, who was that powerful..."
"Could it be... that no one can stop Bagard Modo anymore?"
The Marines near Impel Down looked toward Modo, who was not too far away, filled with indescribable fear despite still having strength to spare.
If this had happened before, they would not have needed to worry about anything.
After all, Admiral Kizaru was still on the battlefield...
But the facts had proven that Admiral Kizaru simply could not stop Modo.
Otherwise, how could Staff Officer Tsuru, Inspector General Sengoku, Momonga, Stussy, and their other comrades have died one after another beneath Modo's blade?
Their severely battered morale had even made the Marines feel that breaking through the defensive line and taking Jaya's life was now an impossible task.
