"Redfield, you shouldn't have killed the Celestial Dragons, especially three at once. Adding that to what happened before, it's enough for the World Government to spare no expense to capture you."

Kong Guang stood there like a mountain; if it were an ordinary person, they would probably have already knelt on the ground.

"So, those five old geezers sent you?"

Taking a sip of his drink, Patrick Redfield ignored the aura emanating from Kong and spoke with great interest.

"Call out"

Silently, he appeared before Redfield. Time slowed down, then a thousand years passed in an instant, and a kick like a mountain swept out horizontally.

With overwhelming force, as if the very air were mourning, Redfield quickly grabbed the black umbrella beside him, its dark and crimson Armament Haki coating covering his face, and held it up to shield himself.

The immense force caused the entire tavern to collapse, turning a radius of ten thousand meters into a spiderweb of pits that quickly spread outwards. A dark figure transformed into a streak of light, successively blasting away countless buildings before performing several backflips and landing steadily on the ground.

Vanished, followed closely by Kong, who slowly descended in front of Redfield. Behind Kong, various debris began to fall like rain, completely submerging the entire area.

The two exchanged only one move, and the area within a radius of ten thousand meters was reduced to ruins, forming a giant crater, from which riots continued unabated.

"Kong, it seems that you, as Fleet Admiral, have neglected your strength. You are much weaker than before."

With his sleeves fluttering, Redfield dusted himself off, a chilling smile spreading across his eerie face.

"That's enough to deal with you."

The dark Armament Haki on his right foot disappeared, and he threw off his coat, revealing his powerful physique that was bursting out of his shirt.

The two of them had different Armament Haki than normal black, clearly indicating that they had both reached the highest level of training, resulting in different colors depending on their own power.

"Perfect timing. It's been years since I've fought you. Let's see if your strength has truly diminished since you became Fleet Admiral."

Holding the black umbrella, Redfield raised it high, its crimson Armament Haki covering it, and slashed it down fiercely into the air.

In an instant, a blinding light flashed, and a towering crimson slash forcefully split the ground, forming a boundless, pitch-black Abyss that, like a chasm, crushed into the sky.

His whole body throbbed, his empty body instantly expanded, and his muscles, like diamonds, were perfectly united. The veins on his right hand bulged, and his dark, gleaming Armament Haki slammed heavily onto the crimson slash like Meteorite.

The ground turned white as a deafening tsunami ripped through the earth, creating a catastrophe that spread in all directions.

"Click-clack"

Dark clouds rolled in, obscuring the sky. Beneath them, streaks of crimson lightning enveloped the entire island, and an overwhelming will, like towering mountains, crashed down.

"Ah"

The remaining navy and civilians, who had not yet been evacuated, all turned white-eyed under this will, collapsing to the ground in large numbers, like harvested rice, and lost their senses.

"Conqueror's Haki!"

A Marine Vice Admiral, his face pale and beads of cold sweat dripping down his face, felt a chill run through him as he watched the crowd of people falling around him.

This place is incredibly far from the center, yet the overwhelming, King's Will can still radiate here, even causing harm.

One can imagine how terrible Redfield was.

"Quickly, get out of here!"

Meanwhile, in the distant horizon, billowing dust and sandstorms hundreds of meters high surged in like a disaster.

Vice Admiral doesn't even have the right to interfere.

At the heart of the chaos, beneath the veil of clouds, streaks of dark red lightning flashed, dimming the world as two figures clashed violently.

Its body glowed with an abnormal dark light, a wisp of smoke rose, and it maintained its Return Life. Its powerful aura even pierced through the clouds.

On the other side, Redfield, holding a black umbrella, exuded an increasingly malevolent aura, with waves of King's Will constantly surging forth, creating considerable resistance in the air.

"After all these years, your Conqueror's Haki has actually reached this level."

The combined aura of someone who has held a high position for many years, and Sora's own powerful aura, were what allowed him to contend with Redfield's Conqueror's Haki and even fall into a disadvantageous position.

In this world, only the swordsman's Sword Aura and the aura of a strong person can contend with Conqueror's Haki. Although these auras cannot compare with Conqueror's Haki, they can at least contend with it.

Conqueror's Haki is merely a kingly quality, destined to never be subordinate to anyone, born to be a king. But this doesn't represent everything. Throughout hundreds of years of history, there have been more than a few instances of Conqueror's Haki users being killed by those without Conqueror's Haki.

Yes, the one who possesses Conqueror's Haki is the emperor, while Conqueror's Haki who don't are ministers or commoners. If this emperor is powerful, then he is a true emperor, capable of controlling everything, and a true king.

However, if the emperor is just a child, or even not yet grown up, then high-ranking ministers can easily kill him as well.

Therefore, nothing is absolute; it mainly depends on the individual. If you are strong, you are king; if you are weak, anyone can kill you.

The world operates on the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, and everything is determined by whoever has the might.

Weakness is a sin!

"Kong, you are ultimately not a king. Even if you hold the position of Fleet Admiral, you are still subordinate to others."

With a swift stroke of the black umbrella in his hand, the atmosphere shattered, and the entire cloud-covered sky was instantly split apart.

"So what? Everyone has their own path. What's yours might not be right for me!" The air wailed, and amidst the earth cracking, Kong threw a punch, creating a Meteorite storm that forcefully shattered Redfield's slash.

"Haha, then let's see if you, Steel Bone Kong, are qualified to take me down."

Like a ghost, Redfield appeared before Kong, the black umbrella in his hand condensing into a single point, causing layers of atmosphere to shatter, and piercing towards Kong's chest.

The earth shook violently, and Shockwave spread outwards. Kong tightly gripped the tip of the black umbrella gun. The two Armament Haki of different colors stood in opposition, forming a polarized world.

With a clenched fist, Redfield's other hand slammed into the air.

Mars collides with Earth, creating monstrous waves. The two transform into meteors and plummet to the ground. The entire island splits apart, countless hills rise from the ground, and deep cracks form Abyss as it begins to collapse.

The sea surrounding the island sank deeply before suddenly rising, creating a shadow hundreds of meters high.

The entire island's crust fractured, and with each impact between the two, landslides and tsunamis occurred, turning the world into a scene of utter devastation.

The sky seemed to be torn apart by a pair of giant hands, which then closed, unleashing destructive lightning in a visual explosion that filled people with despair.

This was no longer a human fight; every punch from the two men was heavier than Mount Tai, causing unimaginable damage.

Finally, in the midst of their relentless battle, the large island of Tegusla could no longer hold on, and a ridge began to split in the middle. It might not be long before it breaks apart completely.

Keep in mind, this is a large island, practically a continent, yet it has begun to crumble under the combined attack of the two.

I did some research and found that Redfield ate Devil Fruit after he came out of Impel Down, meaning that Redfield doesn't have any powers now.
