Former Admiral, Mad Swordsman Kai!

When the old man saw that Allen had no memory of him at all, he felt deeply unwilling to accept it and shouted at Allen, "Do you really not know me? Take a look at how I'm dressed!"

Hearing this, Allen gave the old man a careful look. Yet after merely two seconds, he said impatiently, "Don't know you. What, am I supposed to know every random nobody? If you don't want to die, stay quietly to the side!"

The old man's anger immediately flared at those words, and he rebuked him, "What an arrogant brat! I am a Former Admiral, Mad Swordsman Kai, known as the Sword God!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the younger civilians before the screens wore Blank Expressions, clearly having never heard of that title.

However, the older men instantly revealed expressions of disbelief, for that name had already been thunderously famous when they were children.

If the man before them truly was Mad Swordsman Kai, then he had to be at least one hundred and ten years old.

Even the Big Shots in the news industry had never expected a duel between brats to draw out such a deeply seasoned old relic.

Kaido's expression also turned grave. He knew that this old man was not among the Holy Knights, and that made him deeply wary of just how many trump cards the World Government possessed.

Even a Former Admiral could not join the Holy Knights. That alone showed just how prestigious that organization was.

Yet Allen acted as though it had nothing to do with him, picking at his ear with a face full of disdain. "Don't know you. Do I need to know every stray cat and dog?"

Hearing Allen's words, Mad Swordsman Kai laughed in extreme anger and roared, "Good! Today, this old man will teach you a proper lesson on Roger's behalf and let you know that there is always someone greater!"

With that, Kai swiftly drew the famed blade at his waist and raised it high, roaring, "Mad Dragon Slash!"

In an instant, a yellow dragon howled forth from the blade, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced toward Allen.

At the same time, the remaining ten also attacked Allen, each wielding their weapons and unleashing their strongest strikes with all their might, all intending to kill Allen in a single blow.

Faced with eleven fierce slashes arriving at once, Allen remained calm and utterly unflustered.

Just as the slashes were about to reach him, Allen summoned the Heavenly Demise Sword and enveloped himself within it.

The Loud Noise everyone had expected never came. The moment the eleven slashes touched the transparent sword, they vanished like clay oxen sinking into the sea, all of them absorbed.

In the Navy conference room, Kizaru watched this scene from before the screen with mixed feelings. He knew what Allen would do next, because he had personally experienced it before and had nearly lost his life that time.

Seeing their strongest attacks so easily and completely absorbed, everyone revealed disbelieving expressions.

They knew Allen's sword could absorb attacks, but they had assumed that ability surely had a limit. Reality, however, dealt them a heavy blow.

Seeing this, Kai shouted, "Run!" Everyone immediately snapped back to their senses and reacted, wanting only to flee this place at once.

They understood that attacks were useless against Allen. If they stayed, the only thing awaiting them was death.

At that moment, Allen said leisurely, "Trying to run?"

"Too late. Prison Cage!"

With Allen's shout, four black barriers rapidly burst out from the ground.

A sense of foreboding rose in Kai's heart, and he hurriedly shouted to everyone, "Run upward!"

With that, he used Geppo to leap forcefully into the air, and the others followed suit after hearing him.

Kai thought that he had already given every warning he could. Whether they could escape now depended solely on their luck.

Just as they were only two meters from the exit, everyone let out a breath of relief, thinking they had finally escaped the fear of death.

But that joy lasted only a second before coming to an abrupt end, because the four barriers rapidly extended inward and completely closed in the blink of an eye.

When the eleven people trapped inside saw their only way out cut off, Kai, as their leader, made a prompt decision and shouted, "Kill that brat! Then this square Prison Cage will collapse on its own."

The eleven then tried to descend to the ground. But when they looked down, the sight before them frightened them nearly out of their wits. Allen stood on the ground with Both hands raised, holding a massive transparent sphere filled with surging energy of all colors.

Allen had long seen through their thoughts. How could he give them an opening?

While they were fleeing, Allen had already gathered his strength.

He said coldly, "Enjoy yourselves."

After saying that, Allen's figure vanished into thin air, while the giant sphere continued to float in the air.

One second later, a loud crack rang out. The giant sphere shattered, and countless streams of energy erupted from within like a raging flood.

Kai reacted quickly and shouted, "Get close to me!"

Hearing Kai, everyone immediately gathered around him, because they knew Kai was the strongest here.

Once everyone had gathered, Kai swung out a tornado-like slash. When the attacks within the Prison Cage collided with the tornado, a small portion of them was canceled out.

He then shouted, "Do it like me!"

The others understood Kai's intention as well. By gathering together and taking turns exerting themselves, they could avoid wasting unnecessary stamina.

Thus, the eleven took turns unleashing slashes within the Prison Cage, engaging in a difficult tug-of-war against Allen's energy attacks.

Several minutes later, perhaps because Allen's stamina was gradually failing, the power maintaining the Prison Cage began to dissipate, and the Prison Cage slowly vanished in the end.

Seeing that damned barrier finally disappear, the eleven people felt as though a burden had been lifted and let out long breaths.

At that moment, Allen appeared before them once more, dragging his utterly exhausted body.

Kai looked at Allen's current condition and sneered. "Brat, you still dare show yourself in that state? I have to admire you, but you're too foolish!"

After saying that, Kai raised his blade and viciously chopped down at Allen.

Just as the blade was about to fall, Allen flashed and vanished without a trace.

Immediately afterward, Allen appeared behind one of the government faction. Before the man could react, Allen had already trapped him inside a Space Sphere.

Kai's expression changed drastically at the sight, and he shouted, "How dare you!"

Allen smiled faintly at him and asked, "Do you think I wouldn't?"

As he spoke, Allen did not stop moving in the slightest. The Heavenly Demise Sword in his hand had already been aimed into position, and with a sharp stab, the sword mercilessly pierced the man's body.
