Pain!
Half a day of battle, facing two admiral-level powerhouses at once, had been like dancing on a tightrope. It kept Magnus's nerves taut and his body constantly on the verge of collapse.
But things were different now.
Seabas had already fallen. The only one still standing on the battlefield was the Navy's admiral candidate.
The Navy Vice Admiral codenamed "Steel Bones."
He was also the future Fleet Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the World Government's entire military!
Even though Kong had yet to reach his full potential.
He possessed admiral-level combat power, top-tier mastery of all three types of Haki, and pure physical prowess!
Facing an opponent like this one-on-one.
Every cell in Magnus's body seemed to have forgotten fatigue.
They cheered and leapt with excitement!
"Hahaha, that's it, Kong! Come fight! Come kill! You carry the Navy's hopes, and I carry the hopes of my crew."
"We both have reasons we cannot lose!"
Their fists collided with flesh. Armament Haki wrapped around their bodies, Observation Haki predicted the future, and the clash of Conqueror's Haki had never stopped from the very beginning.
Roa and Lily, watching from afar, had long since been dazzled.
"So strong!" "So fast!"
The power of Devil Fruits was usually possessed only by the lucky few. The reason Haki and physical techniques held such a firm place at the top of this world's pyramid was because of this kind of pure strength.
There were no flashy tricks.
Only ultimate power and ultimate speed—strength so overwhelming it could not be resisted, speed so great no one could react.
Bang!
Magnus's fist sank into Kong's face, while Kong's fist landed on Magnus's body. The two, who had collided at cannonball-like speed, flew backward even faster, rolling hundreds of meters across the ground and carving two long furrows
