Akihara Kagura.
This Vice Admiral of the Navy has never been considered a big figure.
Many people don't have a deep impression of this Vice Admiral, but it is only by relying on the Natural Type Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability that he managed to rise to the rank of Vice Admiral.
At least during the battle on Sky Island, Akihara Kagura's performance seemed unimpressive, and he needed Admiral Sengoku the Buddha's protection to participate in the battle…
However…
This does not mean he is weak!
At least Sabo knew this after facing off against Akihara Kagura!
"Ace, Luffy, be careful..."
Sabo swung the steel pipe in his hand and held it behind him, solemnly reminding, "The opponent's strength is strong, don't underestimate our enemy..."
"I know!"
"This time... I will win!"
Luffy's expression was particularly serious.
As since he set out to sea, Luffy has fought with many people, and the clash in Cocoyashi Village in the East Sea left a deep impression on him!
"Don't worry..."
Ace raised his palm, a ball of flame appeared in his hand, and he grinned: "I will deal with this guy, this time Aokiji won't be by his side..."
The last time in Alabasta, Aokiji and Akihara Kagura captured him, Ace still remembers that grudge!
"Don't be careless!"
Sabo shook his head, reminding his two sworn brothers: "The opponent is very skilled in Haki and Taijutsu! It's not such an easy opponent to deal with!"
"Got it, got it..."
Ace slightly tilted his head, smiling as he spoke: "Anyway, we've already achieved our goal, Sabo, you take Luffy and go first, if this guy is tricky to deal with, I'll hold him off..."
"What is Haki?"
Luffy curiously tilted his head.
"..."
Ace and Sabo's eyes both twitched.
It seems…
Their brother still doesn't understand the system of Haki.
However, the two elder brothers didn't have time to say anything more to Luffy, because the most troublesome enemy was still standing in front of them, they had to quickly take Luffy away from here!
"I'll take Luffy and go first!"
Sabo immediately grabbed Luffy's wrist!
Just as Sabo was about to lead Luffy to escape, a lightning bolt descended from the sky and landed at their feet, blocking their path forward!
"Fire Fist!"
Ace raised his hand and unleashed a ball of flames towards Akihara Kagura!
"Is this the only temperature?"
Akihara Kagura's body suddenly sparked with countless electric lights, his body directly lifted its head and charged through the flames, flying towards Ace!
"!!!"
This guy's body isn't afraid of fire!
Ace's expression changed, he was about to unleash even stronger flames!
However, Akihara Kagura's body had already dashed out from the flames, raised his hand to grip Ace's neck, and slammed him heavily onto the ground with a choke!
"Ace!"
Luffy's voice immediately became tense!
"Ace!"
Sabo couldn't care about much else, flew at Akihara Kagura!
"Ace…"
Garp and Shanks, still in the battle, turned their heads towards the execution platform, seeing Fire Fist Ace being knocked down by Akihara Kagura!
"Don't worry, I'm okay..."
Ace's body instantly turned into flames, burning on the entire execution platform, his body quickly reassembled in the fire!
The whole execution platform suddenly collapsed!
After Ace revived, a trace of fresh blood appeared at the corner of his mouth!
Even if the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit can let him evade all physical attacks, in the end, he can still be touched by the Armament Haki's attack on his real body!
The three brothers who had been on the execution platform leapt down to the ground, the platform collapsed behind them, raising a large cloud of dust!
"Fortunately…"
Sabo glanced at Ace and Luffy beside him, finally letting out a breath of relief.
Just as he was about to say something, Akihara Kagura's figure suddenly appeared in front of them, landing a blow on Ace's face!
"!!!"
Ace's head involuntarily tilted to one side!
"Careful!"
Sabo just managed to utter a warning when Akihara Kagura's figure appeared behind him, elbowing him in the lower back!
"Speaking during battle is not a good habit..."
Akihara Kagura's voice was somewhat calm, his figure disappeared after attacking Sabo and suddenly appeared beside Luffy, kicking him in the neck!
Luffy's neck appeared at a bizarre angle, his head first landed on the ground, then his rubber body bounced and crashed away!
"Of course..."
Akihara Kagura looked at Luffy being knocked down by his kick, slowly turning to look at the three brothers he had respectively knocked to the ground, adding a comment: "That's for you guys..."
"Luffy!"
"Luffy!"
Ace and Sabo were simultaneously shocked!
The two elder brothers couldn't care about their recent injuries, hurriedly rushed to Luffy's location, landing beside him!
"Ah, I'm okay, just a bit painful..."
Luffy rubbed his neck, twisting his head.
Fortunately...
He has a rubber body.
No matter what kind of blunt force he can endure.
"Don't relax vigilance!"
Sabo immediately prepared his battle stance again!
Akihara Kagura raised his palm, lightning and Armament Haki instantly converged in his hand, transforming into a pitch-black bolt of lightning!
"Armament: Yin Release Thunder Stream!"
A black fork-shaped thunderbolt suddenly flew towards the three brothers!
"Enjomo!"
Fire Fist Ace immediately raised his hands, erected a massive firewall, blocking the black lightning flying towards them!
