Vergo's Outburst

"So strong!"

Onigumo's expression turned extremely solemn. He had originally thought that even if Vergo was strong, he was only slightly stronger than him and still far inferior to Admiral.

Vergo's decision to take Admiral Kizaru's attack head-on has begun to waver.

They believe Vergo already possesses the qualities of a potential Admiral.

But now, seeing Vergo actually able to face Kizaru head-on, he finally understood. Everyone had underestimated Vergo, underestimated the Devil Fruit he had eaten.

The Vergo of today is no longer the Vergo he knew.

When he used his Devil Fruit, his strength was already comparable to that of Admiral.

"Drink..."

With a shout, Admiral Vergo's power, enhanced by the Mythical Zoan - White Tiger Fruit, had reached an extremely terrifying level.

Surprisingly, he gained the upper hand over Kizaru, forcing Kizaru back several steps.

He then swung his leg, Tempest Kick Slash.

"Brush..."

This Tempest Kick Slash was in no way weaker than the strikes of Great Swordsman; wherever it passed, the ground was easily sliced open like soft tofu.

A trench was formed, extending all the way to Kizaru's feet.

"Um?"

Kizaru was slightly taken aback at first, because in his view, an attack without Haki was useless, no matter how strong it was. This was because he was Logia and possessed the ability to Elementalization.

With just a tiny bit of stamina, such an attack can be ignored. And the amount of stamina consumed is negligible.

However, when the slash got close, his expression changed drastically.

"The Ame no Murakumo..."

Kizaru immediately raised his hands and placed them in front of his chest, then concentrated photons in his hands, which quickly formed a sword of light.

The next instant, the Tempest Kick Slash arrived.

He blocked the attack with the Ame no Murakumo.

"Boom..."

Under the powerful impact, Kizaru took two steps back but successfully blocked the attack. At this moment, Kizaru frowned slightly, a bitter smile playing on his lips, "Aokiji told me to use about 80% of my strength, but it seems... 80% might not be enough!"

The next second, he completely let go and gave it his all.

Vergo's Tempest Kick Slash was forcibly altered in trajectory and blasted to the other side.

It chopped off a small peak on that side of the mountain, leaving it flat-topped... The severed peak then slowly slid down and crashed to the ground.

Its terrifying gravity, combined with the terrifying force of the fall, created a huge crater. Even the entire island trembled violently.

At this moment, Kizaru also launched a counterattack.

Kizaru extended his finger and pointed it at Vergo from a distance. Light particles flashed on his hand, and instantly, countless light particles appeared out of thin air near Vergo.

"Rumble..."

The next second, Vergo was once again engulfed in flames from the explosion. But this time, it was different from before. The explosion was more powerful, and the blasts were continuous.

Because light particles are constantly appearing in the air.

"Hiss..."

Those who witnessed this scene couldn't help but gasp in shock. An explosion of this magnitude was something even the Buster Call couldn't match!

Look, within the area of the explosion, a large layer of ground has already been blown away. If this continues, it's estimated that a lake will be blasted out there.

As expected, all the Logia Admiral possess the ability to destroy an island in a short period of time.

"Vergo must be badly injured by now!"

This is the majority of the thinking.

The officers, however, all frowned. It was too quiet, eerily quiet. Normally, even they would have wanted to resist.

And what about Vergo, who is even stronger than them?

This doesn't make sense!

At this moment, Kizaru was also somewhat puzzled. But when he stopped attacking and the flames from the explosion dissipated...

Vergo stood there.

Strangely, there was a circle around him. Clearly, it was this circle that had blocked all his attacks.

The White Tiger, born with a large amount of Gengjin Essence, is a born fierce god and a war god. Compared to the Azure Dragon's noble majesty, it has an even stronger murderous aura.

Wood element fosters life, while metal element focuses on offense. The White Tiger, regardless of its innate abilities or physical form, is primarily offensive, but its defense is somewhat lacking.

But it's not bad either.

This circle is a technique developed by Vergo. It is also his most powerful ability.

"Good..."

Kizaru couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

The next second, his eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of surprise.

Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger.

Therefore, the White Tiger also possesses the wind control talent of tiger-type demon beasts and divine beasts. With a wave of his hand, Vergo unleashed a terrifying gust of wind that immediately rushed towards Kizaru.

Wherever it passed, it was as if it had been hit by a category 12 typhoon, and everything was blown into the sky.

Even Onigumo, who was watching from a distance, was affected and had to shield his eyes with his hands and lean slightly to steady himself.

He was utterly horrified.

He hadn't expected that Vergo, a Zoan-type Zoan user, would possess the ability to control the wind. Crucially, its destructive power was in no way inferior to that of nature itself.

That's terrifying.

Even Kizaru was struggling to open his eyes. At the same time, a pair of wind wings condensed from wind elements on Will's back.

With a flap of its wings, it propelled itself forward rapidly, riding the strong wind. In the blink of an eye, it reached Kizaru.

"Shigan!"

Then his finger jabbed directly at Kizaru's shoulder.

Although Kizaru's vision was obstructed, his Observation Haki still managed to detect Vergo's movements. He held his Ame no Murakumo horizontally and forcefully blocked the finger strike.

"Roar..."

But at that moment, Vergo opened his mouth and let out a Tiger Roar. The sound waves immediately swept outwards from Vergo.

Kizaru was the first to be affected.

Under the triple attack, Kizaru was instantly knocked back, retreating more than a hundred meters away.

"Conqueror's Haki?"

At this moment, he stared at Vergo in horror. The triple attack he had just received actually contained a fourth. The third sonic attack also carried a mental attack.

This had a huge impact on him.

This is precisely why he misunderstood.

Vergo shook his head. "This is a unique ability of Devil Fruit... but it does have some similarities to Conqueror's Haki."

"Yo yo yo... Your ability is really terrifying!" Kizaru still had that arrogant look on his face, but he had gained a new understanding of Vergo's ability.

He couldn't help but think of Kaido.

That thing is fire! Lightning! Wind!

We have them all!

But who is he?

Marine Admiral wouldn't let Vergo pass so easily. After all, this is related to whether Vergo can become Marine Admiral.

"Brush..."

Kizaru swung his lightsaber, unleashing a terrifying slash.

That's right. Don't be fooled by Kizaru's seemingly half-hearted fighting style in the original work, where he mostly relies on his abilities. He is actually a Great Swordsman can rival Rayleigh in swordsmanship.
