The Devouring Head's Overpowered Ability, the Marine Admirals Suppressed
"Wrath, Samael."
"Lust, Sigma."
"And then there's Big Eye, who attacked the Marines in the Sabaody Archipelago. He had developed the Storyboard Fruit to the Awakening stage, and his use of the ability was unparalleled."
"Sengoku once suspected that the Seven Deadly Sins might possess some means that could rapidly enhance a person's Devil Fruit abilities."
"Besides, the Big Eyes that appeared this time are also different from those in previous intelligence reports."
Imu watched the battle footage.
Lust Sigma and Sengoku the Buddha are both Mythical Zoan, and both have developed their abilities to an extremely high level.
It's impossible to determine a winner in a one-on-one fight in a short time, but judging from the battle situation shown on screen, Fleet Admiral Sengoku has the upper hand.
"You are to go and support headquarters. Mu doesn't want to see the Seven Deadly Sins escape. Capture at least one of them alive."
The reason I say "at least" is because Imu is well aware that if the Seven Deadly Sins truly possess the ability to Pentagram Summoning Circle, they would indeed be difficult to capture if they were determined to escape.
The only way is to send the Five Elders as well, relying on their numerical and combat advantages to swiftly defeat the Seven Deadly Sins and prevent them from using their teleportation abilities.
"Yes, Imu!"
The Five Elders were all startled and quickly bowed their heads to accept the order.
Then, everyone stood up, and Saint Saturn raised his cane and gently tapped the ground.
A loud thud.
The next moment, black teleportation arrays appeared simultaneously beneath the feet of the five people, and black mist engulfed the Five Elders like a tidal wave.
Imu sat on the Empty Throne, quietly watching the live stream.
Marine Headquarters, Inner Bay Plaza.
"Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!"
Aokiji channeled cold energy into his right arm and suddenly released an ice bird.
Icebirds spread their wings and soar, freezing the atmosphere wherever they go.
Kuranos's eight heads swung, and the neck of the one with the Devouring Head quickly stretched out. It opened its blood-red maw and took the initiative to attack.
When the ice bird touched the Devouring Head, a large amount of cold air was rapidly absorbed, and the ice bird's size continued to shrink until it disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
Before Aokiji could even react, Shishou Devouring Head its mouth and roared.
"Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!"
An identical ice bird was born, except this time, its target was Aokiji himself.
"You're serious about using my abilities against me?"
Aokiji's lips twitched slightly. He had to admit, this ability to absorb attacks was too overpowered, which meant that his Devil Fruit ability posed almost no threat to his opponent.
He stretched out his right hand to block the attacking ice bird.
Boom!
Upon impact, the ice bird shattered into countless ice crystals, while the Aokiji stood unharmed in place.
Just the next moment.
"Um?"
Aokiji was slightly taken aback. Amidst the icy mist, wisps of purple tinged the air, he inhaled a breath of air without warning.
"Poison!?"
Aokiji's expression changed slightly as a burning pain spread through his veins.
He immediately tried to suppress it with his Haki, but at that moment, the Bone Head lunged and bit down, while the Flame Head opened its mouth and spewed out raging flames.
Just as the flames were about to engulf the Aokiji, a scorching red light suddenly appeared on the ground in front of them.
The earth was turned into lava, and a pillar of lava shot into the sky, engulfing all the flames.
Akainu's figure slowly emerged from the molten pillar.
Chapter 156 The Heaven-Defying Power of [Devouring Head], the Suppressed Marine Admiral
Upon seeing Akainu appear, Kuranos Bone Head changed targets and lunged at Akainu.
Meanwhile, the Poison Head continued to release purple poison gas.
"Hmph, mere poison gas."
Akainu scoffed disdainfully, magma swirling around him, thick lava dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound.
"Dog Biting Crimson Lotus!"
Facing the approaching Bone Head, Akainu unleashed a punch, a straight, molten lava fist shaped like a dog's head piercing through the giant python's skull.
The headless serpent slumped limply, and the Main Head of Kuranos narrowed his eyes, his vertical pupils fixed on Akainu.
"As expected of Marine Admiral, the Magma-Magma Fruit's destructive power is indeed formidable. However..."
In the short span of half a sentence, the drooping headless python straightened up again, and its lost head was restored in an instant.
"His regeneration is so fast...!" Akainu's expression turned grave.
He recognized it as the Yamata no Orochi Fruit, and he was also aware of its abilities and weaknesses.
Only by destroying all eight heads simultaneously can the target be defeated.
Or perhaps, Seastone...
The Main Head of Kuranos remained still, but the Water Head opened its mouth and spewed out a torrent of water like a flood.
Ice Age!
While suppressing the potent poison within his body, Aokiji activated his ability.
A chill permeated the entire square, instantly freezing the massive floodwaters spewing from the Water Head. The ice spread, even turning the snake's head into an ice sculpture.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Akainu transformed into magma, slipperily approaching Kuranos and shattering the Water Head with a single punch.
Bang!
Despite having another head blown off, Kuranos remained unfazed, Devouring Head the opportunity to bite down on Akainu's body.
The power of devouring elements was activated, forcing Akainu to reveal his true form.
"What kind of ability is this?!"
Akainu felt a sticky sensation on his body, as if a hand was firmly gripping his body. This feeling was almost exactly the same as when he was suppressed by Armament Haki.
The next moment, the Bone Head coiled around him, curling up and binding Akainu tightly, tightening its grip as if to strangle him to death.
"The Elementalization of Logia is a powerful ability compared to other Devil Fruit users, but I'm sorry to say, my ability happens to be a counter to you Logia users."
The Bone Head spoke in a human voice, flicking its tongue like a snake, its tone sinister and mocking.
This scene, like the Dark-Dark Fruit using gravity to grab the Logia's body, is an example of suppressing an ability.
Akainu's expression darkened. Admiral is Admiral not simply because of their Devil Fruit abilities.
He suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of Armament Haki, stretching his arms to the sides and forcefully pushing away the Bone Head body that bound him.
"Ridiculous."
To think that it dared to challenge Mythical Zoan in terms of physical strength, Kuranos launched an attack without hesitation.
The Poison Head stopped releasing the poison gas, turned his head, bared his fangs, and fiercely bit at the bound Akainu.
Seeing this, Aokiji was speechless.
You're underestimating him. If this guy were so easy to deal with, would he have waited for Akainu to arrive? He could have taken care of him all by himself.
"Oh dear... this is really troublesome."
Aokiji suppressed the poison in his body, condensed three ice spears around himself, and then suddenly shot them at Kuranos.
A ball of fire attacked from the flank, instantly melting the ice spear.
"Do you think I don't exist?"
Samael had been watching the show from the sidelines. Kizaru was Storyboard Lockdown, so he had no opponent and disdained to interfere in the battle between Kuranos and Aokiji.
But two against one is a bit too much.
Kizaru sat cross-legged in the cube-shaped space, also watching the show. If he had a cup of tea in his hand, he could have enjoyed it while watching the performance.
Outside sounds couldn't get in, but the visuals could. He watched Akainu fall into a passive position and couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"How terrifying, the executives of the Seven Deadly Sins... That idiot Sakazuki underestimated these people."
On the battlefield, Akainu was put on the defensive. Facing the approaching Poison Head, he could only rely on his Haki to form a final defense on his body.
The Poison Head opened its mouth wide, its sharp fangs biting into Akainu's left shoulder, but it failed to break through his Armament Haki immediately.
Black lightning crackled as Armament Haki formed an invisible armor, protecting Akainu's body.
"Hmph, you think you've won?" Akainu said with a mocking smile.
He's stubborn... Kuranos had no interest in engaging in verbal sparring, and simply silently applied his power, firmly suppressing Akainu.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, a thunderous roar resounded in the sky, followed by a bolt of black Inazuma that struck a certain spot in the main fortress.
In a secret underground chamber, a dark magic circle was activated, billowing black smoke filled the entire space, and five aged figures appeared in the center of the teleportation array.
The Warrior God of Finance, Saint Nusjuro, immediately closed his eyes, using his Observation Haki to survey the entire island and quickly investigate the situation.
"Akainu is actually being suppressed..."
Saint Saturn also sensed Akainu's situation and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Ignore Sigma and Sengoku; Kaido's clone has the ability to fly, so capturing him won't be easy."
"Samael is Awakening Logia, and he's equally difficult to deal with."
"The target is Envy!"
The group quickly made a decision, each contributing a sentence.
Saint Nusjuro's form changed, entering the form of a phantom beast.
Awakening black Flame Clouds surged and swirled around his body, flesh and blood degenerated, revealing stark white bones, and his lower body transformed into a gigantic skeletal horse.
He drew his sword from his waist and slashed it overhead, tearing the ceiling apart.
"We need to guard against more members of the Seven Deadly Sins. I'm going to deal with Envy!"
With a whoosh, the Mars burst forth with astonishing speed, instantly disappearing from its original spot.
Meanwhile, the other four Five Elders exchanged glances and communicated silently.
The four of them simultaneously revealed their mythical beast forms.
Exclusive residential area for generals.
The Big Eye reveals the form of a stone man, replacing the faceless head of the stone man.
When he merged with Stone Two, his will coexisted with Stone Two's, except that Stone Two was Animation from the Poneglyph and rarely spoke.
Only at this moment was Stone Two's consciousness awakened, used to resist the mind that had been cleansed by the Wash-Wash Fruit.
As a stone, its heart is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and the abilities of the Grand Advisor Vice Admiral Tsuru are of no use to it.
"The Stone Man?"
Momousagi stared blankly at this scene. Was this the true form of Big Eyes?
What was the previous shape of the Big Eye?
Vice Admiral Tsuru's aged face was filled with helplessness; even an ordinary member was so difficult to deal with...
Having been hit by her Wash-Wash Fruit, the curse was broken in an instant.
His Big Eye eyes were fixed on the Devil Fruit in the crane's hand. His master had given him the task of checking the contents of the treasure chest, not stealing the fruit.
