Can You Show Some Consideration for Others?
Moke, however, seemed not to see them, letting the bullets fly towards him. The Flame Demon in his hand was not only unaffected, but actually accelerated a bit.
"Brush..."
Before the bullet hit him, he, the Flame Demon, slammed his sword heavily into the Onigumo's chest.
The blade flashed across Onigumo's chest.
Because the speed was so fast, after the blade passed by, Onigumo's chest remained completely unharmed, as if it had not been attacked at all.
"Clang clang clang..."
The next instant, bullets rained down on Moke, but they didn't harm Moke in the slightest!
Because these bullets, when they hit Moke, were like tiny candy beans.
"Pfft..."
When everything returned to calm, Onigumo stared at the six broken swords in his hand, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints. Then he felt a piercing pain.
He couldn't help but look down at his chest.
With just one glance, his face turned deathly pale. Because a gash had appeared in his clothes, cutting across his entire body.
His solid chest was visible beneath the cut.
Immediately afterwards, an identical wound slowly appeared on the skin, and blood gushed out wildly.
"How is that possible?"
This was Onigumo's final thought. Keep in mind that the six swords he wielded were all top-tier Grade Meito, crafted at great expense.
It was actually cut in two with a single stroke.
That's not all; while severing the six blades in his hand, it also managed to strike him, making it incredibly powerful.
Even Hawkeye couldn't possibly kill him with a single strike, right?
He's an elite Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters!
"30 Million Volts Thunderbird!"
Enel struck the taiko drum on his right shoulder, unleashing the lightning he created from it, which then transformed into a phoenix-shaped thunderbird that flew at high speed toward the group of marines.
What level is Enel?
What rank are these naval soldiers?
They were on completely different levels. With a single strike, the naval soldiers were electrocuted and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
Doberman and Onigumo were mercilessly killed by Moke, and now Enel has wiped out all the Marine soldiers. Only Vergo and he remain on the scene...
The situation immediately became two against two.
This filled him with a sense of dread...
Wait a minute, he suddenly sensed something was wrong. Then, as if struck by a sudden realization, he abruptly turned to look at Vergo beside him, his eyes filled with horror.
"You... you..."
He wanted to say something, but he dared not, for fear that his suspicions might come true.
However, this is just self-deception.
It is what it is, and that's how it is.
"Brush..."
He bent his knees slightly, exerted force suddenly, and retreated more than ten meters, maintaining a relatively safe distance from Vergo.
Upon seeing this, Vergo's lips curled into a slight smile, "Looks like you've figured it out."
"What?!!!!"
Vergo's words extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
"You... you... you actually... are really one of Moke's men." Even at the end, Aramaki still had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Who is Vergo?
That would be the next Admiral in the navy!
He's actually one of Moke's men, can you believe it?
Even now that it's confirmed, I still can't believe it.
But just now, when Moke attacked Doberman and Onigumo, he intervened, trying to stop Moke and save the two.
If it were Marine Admiral Vergo, who was merely standing by and watching the show...
This already speaks volumes.
Aramaki looked at Moke, then at Enel, and finally at Vergo. Suddenly, he felt like crying, really.
All he wants is to become a Marine Admiral!
Why is it so difficult!
Originally, he, Vergo, Doberman, and Onigumo had a chance of winning if they teamed up against Moke and Enel.
Even if Doberman and Onigumo were to die...
Even if they can't defeat Moke and Enel, if they work together, they should be able to hold out until Kizaru arrives to provide reinforcements.
It would be better now.
He's now facing three opponents!
Moreover, of these three, the strongest is Moke, one of the Four Emperors, and the weakest is Enel, who was able to hold his own against Sengoku during the Marineford War.
There was also a Marine Admiral in the middle.
How do I administer this?
He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but the words caught in his throat. Because whatever he said seemed utterly inadequate at that moment.
Why don't we just surrender?
What's the point of even fighting?!
It's a dead end no matter how you look at it... Moke turned to Enel: "I know you've been holding back for a long time, go for it! Have some fun!"
Aramaki: "..."
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Hahaha..."
Enel burst into laughter, then glanced at Will's watch, utterly astonished. He never imagined his captain was so formidable!
The newly appointed Admiral is actually one of their own. He's a powerful figure in the navy's upper echelons!
From then on, wouldn't the navy's every move be under their watchful eyes?
Moke, however, had already looked at Vergo, though he didn't say a word. Vergo immediately understood and explained, "Captain, I only found out right before we left. This operation is top secret; all the Den Den Mushi have been collected. Only one is left on Onigumo as a dedicated means of communication with Marine Headquarters."
At this point, he said with a hint of helplessness, "But speaking of which, Captain, you really have some skills. You actually managed to win over the most beautiful woman in the world, the Empress of the Amazon Lily. And you even got her pregnant... If word got out, I wonder how many people would be green with envy."
Moke narrowed his eyes. "So, this time it really is aimed at her?"
Vergo nodded. "I originally intended to secretly help the Empress leave... but I didn't expect to find you here, Captain. What a surprise!"
Moke: "I brought Enel with me. He wants to learn the training methods for Armament Haki, as well as the techniques for using it."
Vergo's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
He knows Armament Haki, and has mastered it to the extreme. However, he doesn't yet know the techniques of Armament Haki.
Moke immediately saw through his thoughts. "Alright, take this opportunity to learn how to Armament Haki Emission. Once you master it, your strength will rise to another level. At that time, your strength will be on par with Aokiji and Kizaru."
Aramaki: "..."
He really wanted to say, "Could you guys chat in a less conspicuous place?"
He really didn't want to hear it.
"Crackling... cracking..."
At the same time, Enel's body crackled with powerful electricity, and his fighting spirit grew stronger and stronger.
Aramaki's face stiffened.
