Now.
At the outskirts of Dressrosa’s ruins, many civilians also gathered. They could not help but clench their fists as they watched the battle not far from the sh.o.r.e and the siege laid by a Marine Admiral Kizaru and others on Ross.
“Three on one, it’s really despicable.”
“This is the time to clean up the mess? We don’t need the Marines!”
Marine’s pursuit of the Ghost Hand Pirates would have been normal if they hadn’t gone through anything before, but now Ross has become the benefactor in the eyes of Dressrosa’s civilians and he had saved their island.
And now not only a Marine Admiral but there are also two more people besieging Ross. For them, there’s a lot of irony in their hearts.
“The highest battle power and they use it to suppress someone who saved us when they didn’t.”
Many of their voices were m.u.f.fled, but for Kizaru and others who are proficient in Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, they clearly heard their words and their faces were not looking very good.
However.
There are two Marine Admiral candidates and one current Admiral and they did not lose their emotional control, but Momousagi and Tokikake slowed down their attack on Ross and only stopped Ross when he was about to escape.
Bang!
Momousagi’s sword energy was smashed by Ross but it also prevented Ross from fleeing, and Kizaru turned into a golden streamer.
Whiz!
Ross holds the handle of Happy Spring in both hands and charges into Kizaru.
At the moment, he has two sword marks on his body. Even with Armament Haki’s defense, plus Rock’s talent, his body is still b.l.o.o.d.y, which is the case when Momousagi is not fully committed in attacking him.
In addition, Kizaru’s light-speed kick was applied to his shoulders, his clothes were broken and half of his shoulders were scorched black.
But.
Even though Ross’s body is badly damaged, the light in his eyes never faded, and his mind never sank for a moment.
Qing! Qing!
Kizaru confronted Ross’s fierce attack and continued to fight with Ama no Murak.u.mo (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven).
Ross’s offensive was still very fast, and he had to block every move, otherwise, he would give Ross a chance to escape. In order not to give Ross any chance to escape, he would be beaten back by the full-blown Ross.
Seeing that Ross did not choose to escape, but chose to compete with Kizaru, Momousagi and Tokikake stood in the air, and both of them slightly shook their heads and did not attack.
If Ross chooses to run away, they will try their best to stop him, but if Ross doesn’t escape, they won’t join forces with Kizaru to besiege Ross. As Admiral’s alternates, they all have their own will and pride and they are not doing this simply because of the words of the civilians.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every blade that Ross splits and confronts with Kizaru’s Ama no Murak.u.mo triggers a violent explosion, and in the aftermath of the explosion, he does not retreat at all.
Under Ross’s almost aggressive attack, Kizaru has been retreating to resist and he finally can not fully withstand it, his mouth is unconsciously overflowing with a trace of blood.
“Really…”
Kizaru was not happy seeing that Momousagi and Tokikake didn’t come to attack Ross and left it to him, but because of his position as an Admiral, it’s hard to call Momousagi and Tokikake to siege Ross with him.
What’s more, with Ross’s current state, he will barely have any stamina left and his injuries are quite serious, if he can not defeat Ross even now than there is no need for him to go back to the Marine Headquarters.
“Yata no Kagami(Eight Span Mirror)!”
Kizaru flickered in the golden light and arrived behind Ross at an incredible speed and kicked out with a violent kick.
Ross slammed his elbow against Kizaru’s foot, but Kizaru was faster, with a flash of light on his foot, he offset a little bit and kicked Ross in the upper arm.
Boom!
Ross flew out and squatted on the sh.o.r.es of Dressrosa.
Coming to the sh.o.r.e, with Momousagi and Tokikake not far away, Kizaru feared that Ross would try to run away and wrinkles appeared on his face, he charged toward Ross on the sh.o.r.e.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Kizaru showed the fearsome strength of a Marine Admiral and suppressed Ross in the downwind with one man’s strength.
Of course, Ross has been injured and his stamina is almost spent from the continuous battle, but this battle also showed him the true strength of Kizaru as a Marine Admiral!
“Give up, even if you try everything, you still won’t win.”
Kizaru slammed his feet and grabbed Ross’s flaws. He kicked Ross back again and said with a tight voice.
Give up?
Ross rose slowly from the ruins, even though his mouth was bleeding, but his eyes remained unchanged.
Even with the presence of the Marine Admiral Kizaru, even with his almost exhausted stamina, even with Momousagi and Tokikake standing behind Kizaru, even if this is a desperate situation… He will never give up!
“Distortion, Cut!”
Ross held his sword in both hands and slashed hard at Kizaru.
Kizaru saw that Ross’s stamina was almost exhausted. He rushed over with a relaxed face and waved the Ama no Murak.u.mo sword in front of him to parry the coming attack and sword in his hand and collided with the power of distortion.
Zizi!
The golden light would have normally disintegrated like debris, but currently, the Ama no Murak.u.mo sword cut Ross’s power of distortion bit by bit, pressing against him bit by bit.
Tokikake put his gun back to his waist, and Momousagi put away her Named Sword.
It’s over.
Some of the civilians of Dressrosa closed their eyes, some clenched their teeth and clenched their fists, but they couldn’t do anything. .Even if they wanted to help Ross escape, they didn’t have that ability.
They could only watch as Kizaru’s sword began to oppress Ross’s sword and reversing Ross by little.
Desperate?
Yes, desperate.
Is this the end?
No, it shouldn’t end like this, it won’t end like this!
His stamina is almost exhausted and he has almost lost the battle as Kizaru’s Ama no Murak.u.mo sword inches closer and closer to Ross’s body, even in this desperate situation, he will not give up, his will must remain unshakable.
Suddenly.
A terrible power suddenly burst out of Ross’s body. It was not the limit that broke through after exhausting physical strength. It was the power that was originally hidden in Ross’s body. Under the pressure of this desperate situation, with his unwavering will, it was thoroughly inspired.
At the moment when this power appeared, the heavens and the earth seemed to become quiet.
The civilians of the Dressrosa in the distance, who were clenching their fists and teeth became fixed on a single spot for a moment and like dominoes, they began to fell one after another and only a few people were able to keep their consciousness.
On the gradually landing Battles.h.i.+p, the Marine soldiers who were about to disembark were all fixed on the spot before beginning to fell down one by one.
The faces of Momousagi and Tokikake changes seeing this scene.
Haoshoku Haki!
Kizaru bears the full brunt of this violent Haoshoku Haki, causing him to feel strong oppression on his body, he feels as if a large stone has been tied to his body and he can barely move.
As a Marine Admiral, he has experienced the Haoshoko Haki of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), among which Akagami (Red Hair) is the strongest, and today’s Ross broke out with Haoshoku Haki, although it is slightly inferior to a Yonkō (Four Emperors), but it is like a wild adult wolf that had been set free!
However.
Kizaru was not surprised that Ross had Haoshoku.
“Is it the first awakening? The power hidden in his body is terrible, but what if you awaken your Haoshoku? You can’t use it consciously and you will still lose here”
He was not afraid, because Ross’s stamina was almost exhausted, and even if he awoke this terrible power, he could not turn over any waves.
