"Only then could he unleash such terrifying power!"
John, Ochoku, Silver Axe, and the others murmured as well!
They recalled Captain Rocks's presence in his final moments!
It was exactly like Vice Captain Rono's!
This was the resolve to fight to the death!
Yet Vice Captain Rono's aura was even more overwhelming than Captain Rocks's had been!
"Hmph, still struggling on death's doorstep?"
"A mortal challenging gods? You overestimate yourself!"
"A mere ant thinks he can topple a tree?"
"How pathetic, [Most Evil Criminal]!"
Rono still refused to give up in the face of the King's Secret Technique: Nation Destroyer!
He actually intended to fight back?
The nineteen [Kings] sneered!
An ant trying to topple a tree, a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
Did this insignificant [Most Evil Criminal] still dream of challenging gods?
He truly had no idea of his own limits!
But the moment Rono unleashed sword energy powerful enough to shake heaven and earth!
The expressions of the nineteen [Kings] and the other Admiral Level fighters under the World Government—
Changed drastically!
What was going on?
What was this terrifying sword intent?
Rumble! Rumble!
A force that made heaven and earth tremble spilled from Rono's First Generation Kitetsu!
Heavenly lightning and earthly fire seemed to fuse at the blade's tip!
To the twenty Admiral Level fighters present, it felt as though—
Nothing could withstand it, and no defense could stop it!
"Godslayer: Heaven-Shattering!"
The next instant, Rono swung his First Generation Kitetsu!
He poured every last bit of his Conqueror's Haki and stamina into it!
This final strike had to make them pay!
Rumble!
A plain white streak shot forth.
An instant later, that streak transformed into a Blue-Eyes White Dragon nearly ten thousand meters long!
Surging dark-red Conqueror's Haki coiled around the enormous dragon's body!
