Akainu had actually been wounded this badly!
At this moment, all the officers at Marine Headquarters had been shocked by Shanks's strength.
One had to know that a Marine Admiral was the Headquarters' greatest combat power!
Akainu had also performed outstandingly in his battle against Whitebeard.
However, when facing Shanks, Akainu had fallen behind from the very beginning, feeling suppressed at every turn.
"What exactly is going on?"
"How could Sakazuki possibly be inferior to Red-Hair?"
Onigumo, Dogman, and the others were all dumbfounded.
In their eyes, only a handful of people could defeat Akainu.
Even if someone wanted to defeat Akainu, they would have to pay a heavy price.
Yet Shanks seemed completely at ease.
Still, it was not that they could be blamed for overestimating Akainu and underestimating Shanks.
That was because none of them understood the terror of Observation Killing.
In a battle between top-tier powerhouses, maintaining one's emotions was extremely important.
Only in a calm state could one use Observation Haki.
Once Observation Haki was lost, one would be at a considerable disadvantage.
Shanks could predict Akainu's attacks.
Akainu, however, could not predict Shanks's movements.
Thus, Akainu was passive at every turn. How could he not be suppressed?
To make matters worse, Observation Killing was a derivative application of Conqueror's Haki. Akainu did not possess the qualifications of a king and could not use magic to fight magic.
"Are you going to keep fighting?"
Shanks asked Akainu coldly.
Akainu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His expression was ferocious, and he was experiencing a frustration he had never felt before.
Akainu knew that his Observation Haki had become ineffective. Although he had not figured out the reason, he would never show weakness in front of pirates.
Thus, Akainu's upper body transformed into magma,
