The dust gradually dispersed, and a figure rose to its feet, faintly visible through the haze.
With a cough, Onigumo stepped out of the dust cloud. Wincing, he reset his own bones, his face pale as he glared at Vergo with an ugly expression.
Clearly, Vergo's actions had thoroughly enraged Onigumo. He was angry now.
Bent over, Onigumo suddenly extended six spider-like arms from his back. It was a chilling sight; with them included, Onigumo had a total of eight arms, making him look exactly like a spider.
An ability user? Vergo frowned.
Judging by this, he was probably a Zoan. This man was stronger than the previous one.
Onigumo vanished in an instant. He was somewhat furious as well and wanted to regain his footing.
Eight arms were the equivalent of a group beating. Right from the start, Vergo found himself constrained on all sides, completely suppressed by Onigumo.
After taking a heavy blow, Vergo's feet sank deep into the ground, and he was sent skidding sideways.
Lowering his hands, Vergo used Geppo. Two Rankyaku tore through the air and swept toward Onigumo.
Standing on the ground, Onigumo snorted coldly and swiftly swung the longsword in his hand. A brilliant slash forcefully collided with Vergo's Rankyaku.
With an explosion, Vergo suddenly emerged from the thick smoke and kicked at Onigumo's head with his right leg.
Bang!
With a heavy, powerful impact, Onigumo raised four arms before his face and firmly blocked Vergo's attack. The other four arms were coated in Armament Haki as they formed Shigan and stabbed toward Vergo's body.
If that attack landed squarely, several bloody holes would definitely appear in Vergo's body.
Without hesitation, Vergo vanished and appeared behind Onigumo, driving down a fist.
But it was as if Onigumo had eyes on his back. Two spider arms blocked Vergo's attack once more, while his other arms all struck out.
The immense sense of danger forced Vergo to pull back.
Standing at a distance, Vergo's face darkened. For the first time, he found the situation troublesome.
But in the next moment, Vergo's expression turned ruthless, and he charged at Onigumo again.
Holding the upper hand, Onigumo was certain of victory. He sneered as he watched Vergo rush toward him. Even after he had used his ability, Vergo still dreamed of challenging him. He was courting death.
The six spider arms lay in wait, while the hand holding the sword swung fiercely. The ground split apart as a two-meter-tall slash whistled toward Vergo, threatening to engulf him.
Vergo vanished repeatedly, dodging the slash before appearing in front of Onigumo. His entire right arm suddenly swelled as he clenched his fist, its momentum terrifying, and smashed it down at Onigumo.
At the same time, Onigumo's six spider arms also slammed toward Vergo.
Originally, Onigumo had thought Vergo would pull back, but he did not.
Tekkai.
His eyes shining, Vergo's entire chest rapidly expanded and contracted. He actually intended to forcibly withstand Onigumo's attack.
As for Armament Haki, Vergo could currently only use it on his hands and feet. Covering his entire body was simply impossible, so Tekkai was his only defense.
"This madman." Onigumo's pupils shrank. The moment Vergo refused to withdraw, Onigumo understood his plan. He intended to trade injury for injury.
Bang!
Blood sprayed from their mouths as both attacks landed at once. Like cannonballs, they were both sent flying.
It was a true mutual defeat. For a time, neither of them could get back up.
"Cough." Covered in filth and injuries, Vergo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly rose to his feet. The surrounding people looked as if they had seen a ghost, utterly stunned. How the hell could he still stand? Even Onigumo, a Zoan ability user, hadn't gotten back up!
On the other side, Smoker and Chaton's clash had also produced a winner. Smoker had removed his weights as well, and with the advantage of his Logia, he suppressed Chaton. However, he was not in very good condition himself.
After coldly glancing at everyone, Vergo walked over to Shu and Very Good. Together with the injured Smoker, he helped them up and prepared to leave.
Nearby, Gion opened her mouth, her face full of apology. After all, the entire matter had started because of her.
"After starting trouble, you're just leaving? What do you think this place is?"
A stern voice rang out just then. Not far away, Sakazuki stood before them with an expressionless face.
Sakazuki had returned two days ago. The moment he arrived at the academy, he saw Vergo and Onigumo fighting. Now that the fight was over, they actually wanted to leave just like that?
Since he did not know what had caused the matter, Sakazuki saw Vergo and the others as nothing more than troublemakers.
Sakazuki's lofty tone made Vergo and Smoker deeply uncomfortable. Neither spoke, merely staring at him coldly.
"Have you no respect at all? When you see your senior brother, don't you know to greet him?"
Vergo and Smoker's silent provocation immediately darkened Sakazuki's expression.
It seemed he had not made a move for too long. These people actually dared to defy him. They needed to be taught a proper lesson.
"Disrespectful to your elders. Today, your senior brother will teach you what manners are."
After handing Shu and Very Good over to Smoker, Vergo answered Sakazuki with his actions.
Vergo's dismissive gesture enraged Sakazuki even more. He made up his mind to teach these bastards a thorough lesson.
Clenching his fist, Sakazuki did not use his ability, merely coating it in Armament Haki.
Vergo did not retreat in the slightest. He threw out a punch as well.
Their immense strength collided like two boulders crashing together, deafening everyone. The instant they clashed, Vergo's face twitched, the ground beneath his feet shattered, and he was forced Backslide.
Sakazuki also retreated two steps, looking at Vergo with some surprise.
This guy was far stronger than he had imagined, but he was still not worth much.
Sakazuki provocatively stretched out his hand and crooked a finger at Vergo.
Vergo's expression was grave, his face terrifyingly cold.
Vergo vanished in an instant, holding nothing back. He appeared on Sakazuki's right side, his right leg coated in Armament Haki and even carrying a faint sound of air tearing apart.
Sakazuki's expression turned serious. He could feel the power behind that kick.
He immediately raised his right leg to block Vergo's attack, but he was still sent flying, kicking up a cloud of dust.
He had still underestimated Vergo.
Looking somewhat disheveled, Sakazuki rose to his feet, his face completely darkening. He felt as though he had lost all face in an instant.
As a Logia ability user, Sakazuki was prouder than anyone. Although Vergo's kick had not injured him, it had sent him flying. To him, that was a humiliation.
Gurgle, gurgle...
The temperature around them began to rise. Magma started pouring from Sakazuki's body, gradually eroding the ground.
Just as Zephyr had said, the power of the Logia gave Sakazuki and the others confidence. Although they had trained in physical arts, they had never delved deeply into them.
Among Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Kizaru, Kizaru was the most straightforward example. His physical arts were the weakest of the three.
Because the Glint-Glint Fruit was truly powerful.
The moment Sakazuki used his ability, Vergo tensed up, as though facing a great enemy.
