A glimmer of delight flashed in Ivankov's eyes as the syringes on his hand drew closer to Sakazuki's body.
Sakazuki looked down from above, watching indifferently as Ivankov thrust his fingers toward his leg.
Seeing that Sakazuki made no move, Ivankov sped up even more.
The moment they pierced his clothes, he couldn't help crying out:
"Got you!!!"
Crack-
Under Sakazuki's indifferent gaze, the syringes on Ivankov's hand snapped against him.
At some point, pitch-black Armament Haki had coated Sakazuki's body.
Before Ivankov could react.
Bam-
A tremendous impact rang out, accompanied by the sharp crack of breaking bones.
Ivankov's chest caved in, and he flew backward toward Inazuma.
Inazuma plunged both hands into the ground, raising slabs of rock that flowed upward to catch Ivankov and absorb the impact.
Boom, boom, boom-
Only after smashing through several slabs did Ivankov crash into Inazuma, barely coming to a stop.
Ivankov injected himself with a dose of Tension Hormone at lightning speed, and his body jolted:
"Hee-haw!!!!"
He suddenly sprang up and landed on the ground.
He shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Everyone! Evacuate immediately!"
"Inazuma and I will handle this! Wait for us at the usual place!!!"
Seeing that Ivankov seemed completely unharmed, the fighters around him felt a little more at ease:
"Yes!!!!"
Their morale restored, they quickly withdrew.
The ordinary fighters had no idea what kind of power an Admiral represented.
Nor did they know that even after injecting himself with Tension Hormone, Ivankov was still trembling slightly. That was fear...
Inazuma stood beside Ivankov with an expressionless face, keeping everyone's morale steady.
Sakazuki raised his arm slightly. That movement nearly shattered their composure.
With a soft chuckle, Sakazuki reached into his pocket and took out a Den Den Mushi.
