Knights of God Leader! The Correct Way to Use Conqueror's Haki!

"Get back, all of you, get back!"

Just as the atmosphere in the plaza became tense, the crowd on the right side of the plaza suddenly parted, and an old man in a cloak with a crescent-shaped hairstyle and a Western sword at his waist strode majestically into the plaza, stopping before one of the large pits.

"Greetings, Saint Gringo!"

As the old man reached the pit, Junzi, who was climbing out, didn't bother to re-wrap the bandages around her mouth and quickly knelt on one knee to greet him.

Hearing Junzi's address, the surrounding crowd erupted.

"Saint Gringo? He... he's the leader of the Knights of God? My goodness, I've been stationed in the Holy Land for so long, and this is my first time seeing this lord!"

"The Knights of God have been alerted too? What in the world is going on!"

"Why is that woman in her underwear falling from the sky?"

"Saint Gringo is personally intervening, could it be that the Holy Land is under invasion?"

The old man was none other than Figerando Gringo, the leader of the Knights of God, a former king active in the God's Canyon.

"You look quite disheveled, Junzi!"

Gringo glanced down at Junzi, then turned his head to the crowd surrounding the plaza and said sternly, "Everyone return to your posts. This area is now under the jurisdiction of the Knights of God. No one is allowed to approach without my permission."

As Gringo's words fell, the crowd, which had been noisy a moment before, immediately quieted down and orderly returned the way they came.

"Saint Gringo, I have important information!"

While everyone was returning, Spandam, who had rushed from the World Government Headquarters building, went against the flow of people and rapidly approached Gringo.

"Halt!"

Before Spandam could get close to Gringo, a member of the Knights of God standing not far behind Gringo immediately drew his sword, pointing its tip at Spandam's throat.

Seeing this, Spandam's legs suddenly went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud, stammering, "Lord Gringo, I have important information..."

Gringo didn't even look at the kneeling Spandam, and waved his hand lightly, "Drag him away!"

Just then, Spandam arrived.

Before the Knights of God member could act, he quickly ran in front of Spandam and said urgently, "Saint Gringo, please calm your anger. I'll take him away now!"

With that, Spandam didn't dare to delay, dragging his foolish son away.

Although he was the highest-ranking officer of CP9, he was less than an ant before Gringo, the leader of the Knights of God. This was because Gringo was not only the leader of the Knights of God, responsible for the safety of the Celestial Dragons and maintaining their rule, but he also held the power to judge and execute Celestial Dragons.

Facing such a powerful figure, even with his towering ambitions, all he could do was grovel before him until those ambitions were realized.

As the Spandam father and son left the plaza, Gringo got straight to the point, "What happened? How did you all..."

As he spoke, Gringo immediately looked up at the sky, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Junzi dared not hide anything, maintaining her kneeling posture, she replied, "Answering your Lordship, we... we were blown back by Conqueror's Haki."

"Hmm?" Gringo's pupils contracted, and he looked at the five members of the Knights of God behind Junzi, "Is it that mutinous Vice Admiral Akira? Could it be that the six of you together couldn't resist him?"

Junzi lowered her head in shame, "We didn't even have a chance to fight!"

Before she finished speaking, Junzi suddenly remembered something, looked up at Gringo, and said in a low voice, "Saint Gringo, Akira... he knows about Lord Im's existence!"

This sudden statement caught Gringo completely off guard, and his eyes widened, "What did you say!?"

At the same time.

Marineford, on the rooftop of Marine Headquarters.

Akira, standing with his hands behind his back, gazed at the warships slowly sinking into the sea, his eyes narrowing.

Although these warships flew the flag of "Justice," he knew that not all the people on board were from Justice Island; most of them were CP9 members.

As soon as these warships headed for Marineford, he had detected them with his Observation Haki and even overheard the thoughts of some personnel on board, learning that the reason these warships appeared at this time was that they were dispatched by Spandam, the highest-ranking officer of CP9.

"Spandam~"

With narrowed eyes, a cruel smile flickered across Akira's lips.

Spandam dared to send people at this time to appear simultaneously with the Knights of God, clearly knowing the movements of the Knights of God through his intelligence network.

This meant that Spandam had not only extended his reach to Marine Headquarters but had also infiltrated many departments of the Holy Land.

Putting aside his character, just based on Spandam's ability to achieve this with his meager strength, Akira had to give him a thumbs-up.

Of course, thumbs-up or not, since Spandam dared to reach out to him, and even colluded with Justice Island and a high-ranking individual in the Holy Land to eliminate him, he must have been prepared for death.

"Lord Akira, what about this teleportation array?"

Gion, who had been standing silently beside Akira, did not ask why Akira wanted to destroy those warships. Instead, she stared intently at the teleportation array that had already disappeared from the opposite rooftop, her expression grave, "Leaving the teleportation array here will always be a threat. Is there any way to get rid of it?"

Before Akira could react, Borsalino stepped forward, "I'll stay here and guard it."

"No need."

Akira waved his hand, "I'll try!"

Saying that, Akira turned and walked towards where Junzi and the others had stood. After looking around, a solution suddenly came to mind, and he said decisively, "Gion, go get two seals!"

"Huh?" Gion's beautiful eyes widened, as if she thought she had misheard, and she looked at Akira, her mind in a mess, "This is a teleportation array of the Knights of God, Lord Marshal!"

The Three Admirals, standing on the other side, were also taken by surprise and turned their heads.

Sakazuki's facial muscles twitched violently. Although he was an Admiral of Marine Headquarters, he didn't know the principle behind this teleportation array, but he was certain that the seal couldn't stop it.

Borsalino turned his head, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he fell silent, his gaze fixed on his nose.

Kuzan's reaction was relatively calmer, only habitually furrowing his brow.

The air suddenly solidified, making Akira think he hadn't explained clearly. He asked blankly, "What? Do I need to repeat myself?"

"No, you don't—."

Gion withdrew her thoughts and gave an awkward laugh. After confirming Akira wasn't joking, she immediately turned and ran out.

Soon, Gion returned to Akira with two seals.

Akira took the seals and pressed them into his palm, quietly releasing his Conqueror's Haki.

As a slight low-frequency vibration occurred in the surrounding air, the released Conqueror's Haki didn't blast away the members of the Knights of God, led by Junzi, as before. Instead, it was strangely absorbed by the seals in Akira's palm.

"!!!!!--"

Seeing this unbelievable sight, the Three Admirals and Gion widened their eyes again. Borsalino's expression was particularly comical; his mouth hung open, and his eyes were as wide as dinner plates, staring in disbelief at this seemingly miraculous scene.

While Sakazuki and Kuzan weren't as exaggerated, they were also stunned by Akira's move. A thought involuntarily arose in their hearts: Can Conqueror's Haki be used like this?

Seeing the reactions of the Three Admirals and Gion, Akira couldn't help but feel a hint of amusement.

However, being professionally trained, he held it back. After all, he was now the Marshal of Marine Headquarters and couldn't be as carefree as before.

Under the gaze of the Three Admirals and Gion, while injecting Conqueror's Haki into the seals, Akira began to chant earnestly.

As Akira's speaking speed increased, the Conqueror's Haki being poured into the seals again caused the surrounding air to vibrate at a low frequency, with a continuous humming sound.

???

Question marks popped up above the heads of the Three Admirals and Gion: Who uses Conqueror's Haki like this?

Despite their confusion, the four dared not ask, nor did they dare to make any noise at this moment!

Just as the four were bewildered and instinctively retreated due to the intensifying Conqueror's Haki, Akira suddenly raised his voice:

"Great Vajra, Wisdom Buddha, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Paramita~"

As soon as he uttered the word "boom," Akira raised the seal infused with Conqueror's Haki and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

With a wave of energy rippling outward, the seal was directly embedded into the ground, as if it had merged with it.

"Done!"

Akira glanced at the seal embedded in the ground, infused with Conqueror's Haki, and nodded with great satisfaction. "With this seal, if they dare to use this teleportation point again, I'll send them right back where they came from!"
