As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the Fleet Admiral's Office became oppressive.
Even the usually lazy Kizaru's lewd smile became somewhat restrained.
Currently, in the entire Marine Headquarters, apart from him and Akainu, these two are the top combatants.
Only one newly promoted Admiral, Ryokugyu, remains.
This peak combat power, compared to the former Marine Headquarters, can be described as severely weakened.
Back in the day, Sengoku served as Fleet Admiral, Three Admirals guarded Marineford, and there was also Iron Fist Garp, one of the two pillars of the Navy.
With the combined might of the five major forces, along with the elite troops of the various naval commanders, Marineford became as impregnable as an iron wall.
Compared to now, the difference is self-evident.
It can be said that Marineford, the current Marine Headquarters, indeed seems to have gathered 50,000 naval soldiers and recruited elite commanders, all standing ready for battle.
However, compared to before, it feels like it's all bark and no bite.
Kizaru was indeed very confident in his own strength, and he also knew exactly how strong Akainu was.
Together, the two of them can handle any sudden change in circumstances.
However, the CP0 representative who came this time was really someone important.
His boastful attitude in public made Kizaru feel uneasy.
This undoubtedly forced Kizaru to be on his toes for once.
I'm eager to know what gives this guy, who keeps calling himself a watchdog, the audacity to run rampant within the Marine Headquarters.
Akainu's expression gradually turned cold as he looked at Zero, who was three or four meters away, and said in a cold voice.
"Zero, have you finished saying what you wanted to say?"
"If that's all you have to say, then let's see what you're capable of, daring to point fingers at me."
Boom!
The molten lava surged up from Akainu's body, and he clenched his right fist tightly, throwing a punch straight at Zero.
" Crimson Lotus Canine!"
roar!
With a single punch, molten lava transformed into a giant dog in Akainu's hand, which pounced directly at Zero.
Seeing the oncoming attack, Zero didn't flinch at all, and his body was instantly pierced through.
Bang!
The furnishings behind them were instantly pierced by the molten lava hound, and the thick walls collapsed in response.
However, the three people standing in place gave the impression that they were completely motionless.
Before the shockwave had even dissipated, it collapsed like a mirror image.
Akainu's expression darkened. Sengoku had already mentioned the background of this CP0 number one figure who dared to infiltrate Rocks when Zero first appeared that day.
His specialty is the Paramecia Illusion-Illusion Fruit.
Seeing this scene that resembled a mirror image, Akainu didn't take it to heart at all, and his Observation Haki was pushed to its limit.
The next moment, his right hand struck out sharply to the left again.
Boom!
The molten lava surged back, instantly piercing and shattering everything in its path.
The balcony, which had seemed empty, twisted and rose rapidly the moment the molten lava rushed in, revealing Zero's figure.
As for the two men in black robes who were originally following him, they had long since disappeared.
Akainu's expression changed instantly, and he coldly shouted, " Kizaru, quickly tell the people stationed outside to move away. These guys are up to no good."
"Since they won't listen to reason, let's show them the power of the new Fleet Admiral of the Navy."
"Knew!"
Kizaru's body flared with light spots as he prepared to leave the office.
Everything around them, however, changed rapidly, as if the stars were shifting.
By the time Kizaru and Akainu realized what was happening, they found themselves in a boundless ocean.
Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, was nowhere to be seen.
Not to mention the presence of half a navy soldier.
Seeing the scene of being instantly tricked, Akainu's face darkened to the extreme.
Facing Zero, who came alone, Akainu had already overestimated his strength, but he never expected that the opponent had Awakening his Paramecia Devil Fruit ability, which could unknowingly affect the entire world.
However, before leaving, Sengoku told him two things, one of which was how to deal with Zero's battle.
Seeing the illusions around him, Akainu snorted coldly, and the temperature on his body rose even higher. With the molten lava flowing back, his whole body exploded like a volcano.
In an instant, the molten lava surged outwards like Dotō tidal wave.
Wherever it passed, the so-called illusions crumbled like a mirror.
The next moment, when the world returned to normal, the entire naval Fleet Admiral's Office had become a zone of molten lava.
Even outside the building, things were being rapidly assimilated by Akainu's Devil Fruit Awakening Akainu Fruit powers.
It can be said that this method of breaking the illusion is, for the Marine Headquarters, a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of their own.
The building was originally a building that had been barely rebuilt shortly after the war.
It's clearly going to be scrapped again.
However, Akainu clearly had no such concerns in order to defeat Zero. The moment the illusion was broken, his figure flickered.
His Observation Haki had already locked onto a figure.
" Great Eruption!"
As soon as Akainu approached, his face turned cold and stern, and he threw a punch at Zero's chest.
Faced with the illusion he had just witnessed, Akainu was clearly determined, regardless of whether the Zero before him was real or not.
That punch was definitely thrown first and thought later.
However, as soon as the punch landed, Akainu's expression suddenly changed.
Zero, who had been hiding behind the mask, revealed a smug smile on his face.
Bang!
The molten lava struck Zero instantly.
This time, the illusion did not collapse.
Only Full-Body Armament Haki was frantically being used for defense.
At the same time, two hands covered in Armament Haki Akainu's arms.
This grappling technique made Akainu's heart sink.
Before he could think any further, the mysterious figure in black robes, who had seemingly vanished, reappeared behind Akainu.
His right hand suddenly shot out and gripped Akainu's shoulder.
The sudden turn of events caused Akainu's expression to change drastically. Despite his years of combat experience, he couldn't escape the Armament Haki grasp in a short time. However, breaking through the attacks of these two was not impossible.
The dormant Devil Fruit power within him roared into action.
Akainu froze on the spot for the next moment.
there is none left!
In that instant, the Devil Fruit power that filled his body vanished into thin air as if by magic.
Akainu only felt that his body had become completely empty.
It felt as if someone had stolen his Devil Fruit.
What shocked Akainu the most was that, at such close range, he could vaguely see the face hidden beneath the Akainu cloak.
