In the Marineford, not only was fighting difficult for both sides, but... the effects on Devil Fruit ability were particularly severe!
The content of Seastone Factor in this rainwater is between that in freshwater and seawater!
While it doesn't reach the strength of seawater, it's still more potent than freshwater...
Even if it's not enough to exhaust a Devil Fruit ability, and they can still barely use some of their Devil Fruit ability, and Zoan users can still maintain their beast-man form, Logia users can only use elemental attacks at most, and they can no longer completely Elementalization in this heavy rain!
"How terrifying..." Kizaru stared blankly at Sig, who had suddenly appeared in front of him.
If neither of them can Elementalization, Kizaru's speed is nowhere near that of Sig!
After all, Sig wasn't originally focused on developing Elementalization, which is one of the reasons why Sig's been developing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit as a way to "enhance his body" for many years—to take a shortcut when he couldn't Elementalization.
With his entire body crackling with lightning and his muscles bulging, Sig instantly "teleported" in front of Kizaru and delivered a head-on punch!
Although Kizaru immediately crossed his arms and covered them with Armament Haki, he was still smashed down from the air.
However, after falling only a few dozen meters, Sig had already arrived behind Kizaru, and with another kick, Kizaru felt a chill down his back. His consciousness had indeed caught up, but he didn't have time to Armament Haki Hardening, and he was almost crushed in the back...
Admiral Kizaru, in terms of Armament Haki alone, is stronger than many of the Headquarters Vice Admiral, but in a battle of equal strength, he would be a hindrance.
Needless to say, Sig is now practically half a rank higher than Admiral!
Kizaru was kicked flying again, and before he could even use Geppo to adjust his posture, Sig appeared in his path again. With a double-fisted punch, Sieg broke Kizaru's guard and sent him sprawling into a shrimp-like shape, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
The heavy rain continued, and in the rain...
With just his physical body, Sig moved with lightning speed, so fast it was almost invisible to the naked eye, while Kizaru once again in Brownian motion in the air—this time not because he was consciously transforming into light, but because he was being attacked from all directions by Sig!
He couldn't even see Sig's shadow; he was just being hammered repeatedly in mid-air.
At first, he could use Armament Haki to block it, but now he's on the verge of losing consciousness...
But at that moment, Sig's fist suddenly stopped. Garp, whose entire body was covered in Armament Haki and constantly emanating Conqueror's Haki's Garp that Distortion the air into black and red, had already met his fist!
The clash of their fists briefly created a hole in the thick rain clouds, allowing sunlight to stream down and fall on Sig and Garp. However, the thunderclouds quickly returned—the typhoon and torrential rain, a natural disaster, continued.
"Kid, don't underestimate me... Do you think I'll be restrained by a few words of criticism?" Garp glared at Sig sternly.
"Hahaha, Iron Fist Garp? You think you can prolong the life of the World Government with your broken fists? Your fists are the most useless thing ever! You old man!"
Lightning bolts, carried by the rain, struck Sig, making Sig fists even more ferocious.
Amidst the flashes of lightning, the Sun tattoo on Sig's back seemed to be reflected, faintly radiating light.
Garp, who once dominated Sig in hand-to-hand combat, was now being dominated by Sig instead...
"Whether people's will to pursue freedom and resist slavery can be shattered by fists, try it with your so-called iron fist!" Sig continued his frenzied attacks while also spewing insults.
The intense shock to his consciousness instantly weakened Garp's Haki by three points...
It wasn't that Garp's will wasn't strong enough, but rather... Sig had already fully activated the Visionary Path ability at this point. In addition, the World Government's stain was a persistent weakness in the minds of Garp and the others. By exploiting this weakness, the Sequence 4 Visionary's Path ability was directly injected, affecting everyone.
After suppressing Garp all the way, Sig was about to continue his pursuit of Kizaru, who had fallen into the sea. Naturally, some members of the Marines had already jumped into the sea to try to rescue their Admiral!
Seeing Garp being suppressed, Sengoku immediately arrived through the air as well—this wasn't the first time our two naval heroes had faced off against one of us!
However, Sig, sensing something amiss, unleashed another "Golden Fission Fist," suffocating Sengoku...
Strangely enough, when facing Garp, Sig showed no intention of using the Golden Fission Fist, leading Sengoku to believe that he didn't have enough gold or had some other concerns that prevented him from using it!
"Enough! Siegfried! If it were you... to kill Marine Admiral, do you know what that means for the Fish-Man Kingdom? This isn't something you can change just by saying you're not a member of the Fish-Man Kingdom!" Vice Admiral Tsuru shouted through a megaphone, also trying to distract Sig.
"Ha, the 'Fish-Man' Kingdom? You can't even pronounce the name of the Ryugu Kingdom correctly. You've never really thought about how to truly integrate the Fish-Man Race into the human race, have you?" Sig sneered.
Just then, amidst the raging waves, a few barely audible screams suddenly rang out, followed by...
Then, the figures of Fish-Man Race Warrior appeared in the sea!
Sengoku, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and the others initially thought it was the Fish-Man Pirates or those troublesome guys from Fish-Man District, but they were wrong...
A gigantic whale mount appeared, and atop the whale stood Neptune, clad in full armor and wielding a trident!
Since inheriting the throne, the "Great Knight of the Sea" has not dressed like this for a long time.
At the same time, Kizaru was also being held by the Sea King Army's spear, suspended in the water with only half of his body exposed—this ensured that the already severely injured Kizaru would not be able to muster any strength.
Sengoku had already realized something; his face turned pale, and he was speechless. Akainu, seeing this, still wouldn't give up and asked, "Neptune? You... are you here as Affiliated Nation to support the World Government?"
"On January 7th, 1508 of the Sea Circle Calendar, Fisher Tiger, the hero who liberated slaves in our country, tragically perished on Baelen Island! Today, as the King of the Ryugu Kingdom, I am here to apprehend the murderer Borsalino, and..." Neptune roared his declaration amidst the raging waves.
"Neptune! Do you know what you're doing? You're no longer the Great Knight of the Sea, but the King of the Ryugu Kingdom! Your attitude reflects the Fish-Man Race towards the World Government!" Akainu warned hastily.
"... He shall be sentenced to death, and executed immediately!"
As Neptune spoke, he gave the Navy no chance to stop him. As the Sea King Army's executor thrust his trident into Kizaru's body through his ribs and lifted him up, Neptune also used the trident symbolizing the power of the Ryugu Kingdom to pierce Kizaru's chest!
"This is... the attitude of the Ryugu Kingdom, the attitude of the Fish-Man Race!"
