Kizaru's Shock

Kizaru then looked at Vergo opposite him and began to scrutinize him.

This guy is a genius; he joined the Navy 15 years ago.

In a very short time, he mastered the Six Powers. In this respect, he was in no way inferior to Rob Lucci, the CP9's so-called strongest genius in a century.

He then Awakening Armament Haki and Observation Haki...

His talent, especially in Armament Haki, surpasses both Garp and Aokiji. In terms of Armament Haki alone, only two people can defeat him: Garp and Zephyr...

One of them is Iron Fist, and the other is Black Arm.

Moreover, he was very active as soon as he joined the Navy, demonstrating extremely high professionalism and enthusiasm. As his strength increased, he became even more active, and the pirates he faced became stronger and stronger.

He rose step by step to the rank of Vice Admiral, and also served as the commander of the Navy's G-5 Branch base. His current position can be said to have been earned through hard work and dedication.

Now, this guy has acquired a powerful Zoan. Zoan Devil Fruit are perfect for martial arts experts.

Top-tier physical skills, top-tier Zoan, and top-tier Armament Haki.

His position as a reserve Admiral is almost secure.

However, whether he can rise to the rank of Marine Admiral and stand on equal footing with him depends on Vergo's actual strength.

At this moment, Vergo was also extremely excited; Admiral, this was the first time he had faced a powerhouse of this caliber.

He wanted to see if they had reached the same level as them. He glanced at Onigumo to the side, Onigumo understood and couldn't help but smile.

"Looks like you can't wait!"

Onigumo glanced at the time, then waved his hand. "Let's begin!"

"Shave..."

As soon as Onigumo finished speaking, Vergo vanished from his spot and reappeared standing beside Kizaru.

He unleashed a powerful whip kick, slamming it down on Kizaru's abdomen.

At the same time, Armament Haki had already wrapped around his entire leg.

"Yo yo yo, how scary!" Kizaru had a smug look on his face.

However, he reacted extremely quickly, standing on one leg and raising the knee of the other leg, successfully blocking Vergo's attack.

Vergo's pupils contracted slightly.

He believed that his physical skills and Haki were already on par with Admiral. However, after clashing head-on with Kizaru, he immediately realized that the difference between them lay in their physical abilities.

Physical strength, physical power...

"Drink..."

Kizaru let out a soft shout, unleashing his power and forcing Vergo back.

He then extended his index finger and aimed it at Vergo: "Laser Beam!"

This is Kizaru's signature move; he shoots a laser beam from his finger toward Vergo.

This move not only possesses powerful penetrating force but also generates a large-scale explosion. Its power is truly extraordinary...

"As expected, Admiral is Admiral. No matter how strong Vergo is, he's still far inferior."

The officers, soldiers, and officers who witnessed this scene all had the same thought in their minds.

However, they also highly recognized Vergo's strength. In particular, they could tell at a glance whether a general or an officer was present.

Vergo's strength is probably among the top two of the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.

Perhaps this time, the position of Admiral is unlikely.

However, the reserve Admiral is practically guaranteed a spot. But immediately, they all widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Tekkai!"

Vergo instantly switched into his Zoan Hybrid Form and then used Tekkai from the Six Powers.

Finally, Armament Haki Coating his entire body!

"Rumble..."

The next second, Kizaru's Laser Beam struck Vergo, causing a powerful explosion that engulfed Vergo in flames.

And when the flames subsided and everything returned to calm.

Vergo stood there completely unharmed.

The officers and sailors at the Marine Headquarters and various Marine Base, along with the numerous sailors, all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.

His eyes were somewhat vacant, as if he had witnessed the most shocking thing in the world.

"Hiss..."

When they came to their senses, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

They never expected that Vergo would block Kizaru's attack without taking any damage. This was an Admiral's strike...

It's not surprising that they followed suit.

After all, Vergo's strength is evident to all. But to withstand a hit without taking damage... there isn't a single Vice Admiral in the entire Marine Headquarters who could do that.

Kizaru narrowed his eyes slightly as he scrutinized Vergo.

"This isn't your ordinary Zoan, is it?!" Kizaru didn't believe that an ordinary Zoan -type tiger form could give Vergo such a significant boost.

Vergo didn't hide anything. "Zoan - Mythical Zoan - White Tiger Form."

After saying that, he added, "Along with Kaido Azure Dragon, Marco's Phoenix, Ochoku's Black Tortoise, they are the Four Sacred Beasts of mythology."

"Zoan - Mythical Zoan - White Tiger Form?"

"The Four Divine Beasts?"

All the officers and sailors gasped in shock. Not only them, but even Kizaru Aokiji, who were also watching the battle, couldn't help but show expressions of horror.

"Judging from its appearance, I always thought it was a regular Zoan White Tiger Fruit! I never expected it to be Mythical Zoan."

This is Devil Fruit that is even rarer than Logia Devil Fruit.

Moreover, in the past few hundred years, every Mythical Zoan that has appeared has been strong. They are either legendary divine beasts or gods.

Like the Daibutsu from the Sengoku.

"No wonder..." Kizaru realized after his initial shock.

He then added, "I was saying, with the strength you've shown before, how could you possibly take down Ochoku? That guy is no ordinary person."

Upon hearing this, Vergo was not offended. On the contrary, he nodded in agreement.

Ochoku's strength is truly terrifying.

His Devil Fruit Ability is on par with his White Tiger Fruit. His own strength is also comparable. The only area where he falls short is in Armament Haki.

His victory over the king was entirely due to this.

"Watch out, the old lady is serious." At this moment, Kizaru's gaze towards Vergo also changed.

Moreover, he finally placed Vergo on an equal footing.

"Brush..."

Kizaru instantly transformed into a beam of light, flashing in front of Vergo: "Have you ever been kicked by light?"

As he spoke, light elements rapidly gathered on Vergo's legs. With a final kick, he slammed down on Vergo.

Undeterred, Vergo retaliated with a sweeping kick of his own.

"Bang!"

Their legs collided violently in mid-air, the powerful energy colliding between them and creating a powerful Shockwave that swept outwards from them.

Not only did the wind make their clothes rustle loudly, but everything on the ground was shattered into pieces wherever it passed.
