After handing Chopper to Nami, Akira walked up to Usopp, patted his still trembling shoulder, and said with an affirmative look, "You're really brave, Usopp Usopp. Even in the face of death, you didn't abandon your comrades. Well done! You are now a qualified new-era Marine warrior."
Upon hearing this, Usopp's crying stopped abruptly.
Then he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, jumped up from the ground and stood up straight, then faced Akira and gave a standard military salute.
Akira smiled and raised his hand in return.
Immediately, he turned around, his gaze fixed on the distance, the smile on his face vanishing instantly, replaced by a growing murderous intent.
"This war should come to an end!"
Before he could finish speaking, Akira suddenly took a step forward.
Buzz--
The ultimate Conqueror's Haki emanated from Akira, sweeping out like an invisible tide and soaring into the sky.
Above the dim sky, black and red Inazuma suddenly appeared out of nowhere, weaving into a huge spider web, spreading in all directions with the force of dark clouds pressing down on the city!
On a street not yet completely destroyed by war, several pirate captains covered in blood are desperately rushing out from around a corner.
They had just dodged a casual slash from Mihawk, and before the relief of surviving a close call could even wash over them, they all stopped in their tracks and looked up at the sky ahead.
The sky above them had somehow turned into a mix of black and red, with grotesque Inazuma of lightning raging like angry dragons across the city. A terrifying pressure, enough to freeze one's soul, was rapidly engulfing the street where they stood.
"This... this is... Conqueror's Haki?" The captain in the lead stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Damn it!" A captain next to him also snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but curse, " The Navy Marshal has no sportsmanship! Is this how you fight? He goes all out at the drop of a hat! Does he think his Conqueror's Haki is free?"
Just as the two were talking, the black and red sky swept in, passing overhead in an instant.
The next second, these captains, who were notorious in the New World, suddenly opened their eyes wide, their bodies stiffened as if all their strength and soul had been drained away, and they fell straight to the ground.
The captain, despite falling to the ground, managed to avoid immediately fainting thanks to his strong willpower.
He lay on the cold stone pavement with his eyes wide open, the light in his eyes quickly dimming as he watched the Conqueror's Haki rush past, and he managed to squeeze out a few words intermittently.
"A monster... this Navy Marshal... he's a monster..."
Before he could finish speaking, he completely lost consciousness, his eyes wide open and motionless.
At the same time, this Conqueror's Haki torrent swept across every corner of Hachinosu Island like autumn leaves being swept away by the autumn wind.
In the streets and alleys, pirates who were putting up a last stand or fleeing for their lives all fell to the ground in droves, like stalks of wheat that had been cut down.
On another street, two pirate captains had just awkwardly leaped up from the ruins, trying to shake off the white monster chasing them.
However, just as their bodies leaped into the air, they were completely engulfed by a flash of Conqueror's Haki.
The expressions of terror on their faces froze instantly, their bodies stiffened in mid-air, and then they fell from the sky one after the other like two tattered sacks, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Pirates! Don't run!"
Yamato, who had been pursuing them, charged into the street, brandishing his spiked club Yamato yelling.
But the next second, she froze on the spot.
The Conqueror's Haki that rushed towards her seemed to have eyes, and it split in two in front of her, whistling past her on both sides.
Immediately afterward, all the pirates still fleeing in front of her, whether running on the ground or having just jumped up, all fell to the ground silently in an instant.
The bustling street just a moment ago was now empty except for her, standing alone with her spiked club raised high, her expression somewhat bewildered.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Yamato's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "That's the Lord Marshal's Conqueror's Haki? So powerful! I love it!"
Having said that, she didn't linger. Shouldering her spiked club, she darted off towards the skull castle in the center of Hachinosu Island.
at the same time.
The trainees, fiercely battling the elite captains under Ochoku's command, unleashed their best skills, resulting in a thoroughly exhilarating fight.
Xia Yu unleashed his Conqueror's Haki and arrived at the square in front of the castle before Yamato.
The instant the black and red Inazuma swept over their heads like a tidal wave, all the pirate captains who were fighting the trainees suddenly felt an irresistible sense of suffocation pressing down on them.
A swordsman captain, who was fiercely exchanging blows with Zoro, his blade only inches from Zoro's neck, suddenly froze, the fierce glint in his eyes instantly replaced by bewilderment, and then his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
Another captain, who had been smirking at Sanji with his agility, froze on his face the next second and fell straight backward.
In the blink of an eye, only the interns, who were standing still and hadn't reacted yet, remained in the square.
Franky stared blankly as the two captains who had been fighting him just a moment ago suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"What's going on? Did you faint from being scared by my Super strength?"
"Idiot!" Ace's lips twitched uncontrollably as he couldn't help but curse, "That's the Lord Marshal's Conqueror's Haki!"
A flicker of indescribable fervor flashed in Zoro's eyes as he grinned and exclaimed, " Conqueror's Haki! It's truly powerful enough to inspire awe!"
Before the interns could recover from their shock, the elite captains standing behind Ochoku in front of the castle gates fell one after another like Domino.
When the Haki passed by, only Ochoku and three other great pirates with bounties exceeding one billion remained in front of the castle gates.
However, although these three great pirates barely survived the suppression of Conqueror's Haki, they were still greatly impacted. Cold sweat poured down their foreheads, their faces turned pale, and one of them even trembled uncontrollably, almost unable to stand.
Ochoku, the only one who was unharmed, remained calm on the surface after seeing those around him fall one after another, but his small eyes were already filled with turbulent emotions.
He stared intently at the distant sky, his fists clenching unconsciously.
He had only witnessed this level of Conqueror's Haki once before, since he had traversed the Grand Line, on the battlefield of God Valley.
