Sakazuki Makes His Move, a True Monster

The dust gradually dispersed, and a figure rising to its feet appeared and disappeared through the haze.

With a cough, Onigumo emerged from the dust cloud, grimacing as he reset his bones. His face was pale as he glared at Vergo.

Clearly, Vergo's actions had thoroughly enraged Onigumo. He was angry now.

Bent over, Onigumo suddenly sprouted six spider-like arms from his back. It was a horrifying sight; counting his original arms, he had eight in total, just like a spider.

An ability user? Vergo frowned.

Judging by this, it should be a Zoan. This man was stronger than the one before.

Vanishing in an instant, Onigumo was also somewhat irritated and wanted to regain his footing.

Eight hands were practically a group beating. From the very start, Vergo found himself restricted on all sides and completely suppressed by Onigumo.

Taking a heavy blow, Vergo's feet sank deep into the ground as he was knocked 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 forcibly collided with Vergo's Rankyaku.

Amid an explosion and billowing smoke, Vergo suddenly appeared and kicked toward Onigumo's head.

Bang!

With a powerful, heavy impact, Onigumo raised four arms before his face and firmly blocked Vergo's attack. His other four arms were coated in Armament Haki, their fingers forming Shigan as they stabbed toward Vergo.

If that attack landed cleanly, several bloody holes would definitely appear in Vergo's body.

Without hesitation, Vergo vanished instantly and appeared behind Onigumo, throwing a punch downward.

But it was as if Onigumo had eyes on his back. Two spider arms blocked Vergo's attack again, while his other arms all struck out.

The immense danger forced Vergo to pull back.

Standing at a distance, Vergo's face darkened. For the first time, he felt that this was troublesome.

But the next moment, Vergo's expression hardened, and he charged at Onigumo again.

Holding the upper hand, Onigumo was certain of victory. He sneered as he watched Vergo rush over. Even after he had used his ability, this man still dared to challenge him. He truly did not know his place.

Six spider arms stood ready, while the hand holding the sword suddenly swung. The ground split apart, and a two-meter-high slash howled toward Vergo.

Vanishing repeatedly, Vergo dodged the slash and appeared before Onigumo. His entire right arm suddenly swelled as he clenched his fist, a terrifying aura rising from him as he smashed it down at Onigumo.

At the same time, Onigumo's six spider arms also slammed toward Vergo.

Originally, Onigumo thought Vergo would withdraw his attack. But he did not.

Tekkai.

Vergo's eyes shone as his 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. Coating his entire body was simply impossible, so Tekkai was his only defense.

"This madman." Onigumo's pupils shrank. When Vergo did not pull back, Onigumo understood his plan. He wanted to trade injury for injury.

Bang!

Blood sprayed as both attacks landed on their targets at the same time. Like cannonballs, the two men were sent flying.

Both sides were badly hurt—truly both sides. For a while, neither of them got back up.

"Cough." Covered in grime, Vergo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly rose to his feet. The people around him stared as if they had seen a ghost, utterly stunned. He can still stand up after that? Even Onigumo, a Zoan ability user, hasn't gotten up!

On the other side, Smoker and Chaton's battle had also been decided. Smoker had removed his weights as well, and with the advantage of his Logia ability, he had suppressed Chaton. However, he was not in very good condition either.

After giving everyone a cold glance, 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 incident had begun because of her.

"After causing trouble, you think you can just leave? What do you take this place for?"

A stern voice rang out just then. Not far away, Sakazuki stood before everyone with his usual expressionless face.

Sakazuki had returned two days ago. Yet when he had just arrived at the academy, he saw Vergo and Onigumo fighting. Now that the fight was over, they actually intended to simply walk away?

Since he did not know what had caused the incident, Sakazuki saw Vergo and the others as nothing more than troublemakers.

Sakazuki's lofty tone made Vergo and Smoker extremely uncomfortable. Neither of them said anything, merely staring at him coldly.

"Have you no manners? When you see your senior, don't you know to greet him?"

Vergo and Smoker's silent provocation instantly darkened Sakazuki's expression.

It seemed he had not made a move in too long. These people actually dared to defy him. They needed to be taught a proper lesson.

"Disrespecting your elders? Today, your senior will teach you what manners are."

Handing Shu and Very Good over to Smoker, Vergo answered Sakazuki with his actions.

Vergo's contemptuous gesture enraged Sakazuki even further. He resolved to teach these brats a harsh lesson.

Clenching his fist, Sakazuki did not use his ability. He merely coated it in Armament Haki.

Vergo did not retreat in the slightest, throwing out a punch as well.

The immense force was like two massive boulders crashing together, deafeningly loud. At the instant of impact, Vergo's face twitched, the ground beneath his feet shattered, and he was forced backward.

Sakazuki also took two steps back, looking at Vergo with some surprise.

This guy was far stronger than he had imagined. But he was still not worth taking seriously.

Sakazuki provocatively extended a hand and crooked his finger at Vergo.

Vergo's face was grim, cold enough to be frightening.

Vanishing in an instant, Vergo held nothing back. He appeared on Sakazuki's right side, his right foot coated in Armament Haki and even carrying a faint sound of air splitting apart.

Sakazuki's expression turned serious. He could feel the power behind that kick.

On the spot, he raised his right leg and blocked Vergo's attack. However, he was still sent flying, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He had still underestimated Vergo.

Somewhat disheveled, Sakazuki rose to his feet, his expression completely darkening. He felt that he had thoroughly lost face.

As a Logia ability user, Sakazuki was prouder than anyone else. Although Vergo's kick had not injured him, it had sent him flying. To him, that was humiliation.

Gurgle, gurgle.

The surrounding temperature began to rise. Magma started flowing from Sakazuki's body, gradually eating away at the ground.

Just as Zephyr had said, the strength of Logia abilities gave Sakazuki and the others confidence. They had trained in physical combat, but they had never delved deeply into it.

Among Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Kizaru, Kizaru was the most obvious. His physical combat skills were the weakest of the three.

Because the Glint-Glint Fruit was simply too powerful.

Seeing Sakazuki use his ability, Vergo immediately tensed up as though facing a formidable enemy.
