What a terrifying energy surge!
"Is this what the battles of top-tier pirates are like?"
"That attack would be enough to destroy a city, wouldn't it?"
Such a powerful individual is far too dangerous!
Sengoku and the others followed at a distance behind Golden Lion and Zesi, watching the two fight.
When they saw the energy unleashed by Zesi 'Awakened Dragon's Roar and the Golden Lion's impact, even the most knowledgeable among them showed expressions of shock.
"I didn't expect Zesi to have mastered the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Awakening. This Wenlai Zesi is too dangerous!" Sengoku said with a solemn expression.
To understand Zesi's true strength, Sengoku and the others followed from a distance.
When they saw Zesi's sword shattered by the Golden Lion, Sengoku and the others all thought that Zesi was about to lose.
Sengoku and the others knew that Zesi's greatest strength lay in his swordsmanship and sword-based attacks.
Now that Zesi's sword is broken, his strength is naturally greatly reduced.
Facing a world-class powerhouse like the Golden Lion, Zesi, whose fighting strength had been greatly reduced, was naturally destined to be defeated.
However, unexpectedly, Zesi directly entered the Devil Fruit Awakening state.
A Awakened Dragon's Roar caught the Golden Lion completely off guard.
What shocked Sengoku and the others even more was the power of this Awakened Dragon's Roar.
As expected of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Awakening attack, it is truly terrifying.
" Wenlai Zesi!" Sakazuki's face turned ashen and looked rather grim.
Ever since being defeated by Zesi, Sakazuki has been consumed by the desire for Zesi.
He understood that his Zesi was inferior, and seeking revenge now was unrealistic.
But Sakazuki was confident that one day he would be able to catch up with Zesi and defeat Zesi.
This belief remained unshaken even after witnessing Zesi's swordsmanship and the drawing of Zesi Azure Dragon's Roar: Sword Draw.
But when he saw Zesi Awakened Dragon's Roar his attack, Sakazuki's confidence began to waver.
Can I really catch up with him?
The Awakened Dragon's Roar was truly terrifying.
An attack capable of destroying a major city with a single strike.
Moreover, if it's a normal move, no matter how powerful or destructive it is, you can always dodge it and avoid its edge.
There's absolutely no need to confront such a terrifying move head-on.
However, this move won't work against the Awakened Dragon's Roar.
The power of the "Awakened Dragon's Roar" move is secondary; its most exquisite aspect lies in the word "roar."
The attack hadn't even arrived yet, but the shockwaves accompanying the earth-shattering dragon roar had already instantly engulfed the opponent.
The distorted aura created by this powerful shockwave was so strong that even a powerful being like the Golden Lion couldn't escape or move away from it.
Forcing you to endure this powerful attack is a dangerous move.
Sakazuki asked himself honestly, even if he became stronger, could he really withstand such a terrifying attack?
"How's the situation? Will the Golden Lion be defeated?"
Compared to Sakazuki's self-questioning, the other navy personnel were now more concerned about whether Golden Lion had died from that attack.
Golden Lion is the Navy's strongest opponent in recent years.
"This move is powerful, but it's not enough to kill Golden Lion!" Sengoku said.
No one understood the Golden Lion's strength better than Sengoku.
If Zesi was able to develop his Devil Fruit to the point of Awakening, Golden Lion could naturally do the same.
His development of the Float-Float Fruit has reached an unprecedented level.
If the Golden Lion touches anything, even an entire Golden Lion, he can easily make it float up and stay suspended in the air for a long time.
What a terrifying ability that is!
Even if Golden Lion were to unleash the full power of his Float-Float Fruit ability, he could float the enemy's attacks, thereby affecting their power.
Sure enough, after the smoke from the explosion cleared, two figures appeared.
Upon seeing the two figures, the sailors showed expressions of disappointment.
Neither of them had any obvious injuries.
"Pfft!" Just then, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of the Golden Lion's mouth.
"Are you still injured?" Sengoku asked gravely.
"Kid, I admit your strength has reached the top level. Now that the Roger Pirates have disbanded, why don't you join forces with me? I'm willing to give you the position of vice-captain. As long as the two of us join forces, the world will be ours!" said Golden Lion.
"But what if I want to be the captain?" Zesi said calmly.
"I see. So you're one of those guys who refuses to be subservient to others. Kid, I'll remember you!" The Golden Lion glanced indifferently at Sengoku, then quickly flew away.
Zesi glanced indifferently at Sengoku, then left amidst the tremors.
"Oh no, we miscalculated!" Sengoku said with some regret.
Given Golden Lion's personality, he would never give up and leave so easily. Even if Zesi is powerful, Golden Lion will fight to the death.
Zesi probably won't let go of someone who poses a constant threat to the family.
However, their presence made both sides wary.
That's why they parted ways halfway through the battle.
If they weren't here, they might be fighting to the death by now.
Then their navy can...
Sengoku sighed, feeling somewhat regretful.
However, they had already achieved their goal; they now had a concrete assessment of Zesi's strength.
Therefore, Sengoku immediately led everyone back to the Marine Headquarters to report.
