The sudden change came so abruptly!
The people present were caught off guard!
Even Imu, who always considered himself a deity, couldn't stop Akihara Kagura's sudden attack. By the time the King of the Heavenly Celestial Dragon realized what was happening, his body had already been sliced in half by Akihara Kagura. As his last consciousness faded, he heard Akihara Kagura's self-revealed identity...
If that's the case for Imu...
Then what about the others present?
Whether they were the Heavenly Celestial Dragons or the Navy, whether they were the Five Elders or Navy Admiral Akainu, everyone's minds instantly went blank!
They didn't have time to react to what had happened!
Akihara Kagura's sudden violent assault on Imu was successful, and Akihara Kagura's sudden revelation that he was the mastermind behind the Konoha Pirates was shocking!
The Five Elders looked on in terror as their revered King of the Heavenly Celestial Dragon, Imu, was sliced in half and lay in a pool of blood; their bodies instantly trembled with fear!
"What a... joke..."
Saint Nusjuro trembled as he stepped forward, nearly dropping the Samurai Blade in his hand: "Lord Imu..."
"Bastard! How dare you!"
A black mist instantly erupted from Saint Saturn's body, and with a furious look, he glared at Akihara Kagura, his brain seemingly short-circuited as he shouted loudly: "Everyone attack, kill him!"
At this moment, Saint Saturn couldn't fathom how strong Akihara Kagura really was; he just wanted to kill Akihara Kagura on the spot to vent his rage!
"Ah!"
"You scoundrel, how dare you!"
A black mist also suddenly rose from Saint Nusjuro's body!
The fear in the hearts of these two Heavenly Celestial Dragons, Saint Saturn and Saint Nusjuro, instantly turned to anger. Their bodies enveloped in black mist quickly transformed into two hideous monsters, both charging at Akihara Kagura!
"Tsk..."
Akihara Kagura turned his back to everyone, completely indifferent to the attack of these two of the Five Elders, even tossing the staff sword in his hand into the air.
"Xiao..."
Akainu furrowed his brows, instinctively wanting to warn Akihara Kagura.
However...
His warning was unnecessary...
Because two members of the Navy present had already chosen to take action directly!
Admiral Fujitora of the Navy Headquarters instantaneously appeared behind Akihara Kagura. His blindness in no way affected his combat ability!
Fujitora immediately reached out toward the staff sword in mid-air. The power of his Press-Press Fruit instantly emitted a gravitational pull, gripping the falling staff sword into his hand!
The next moment!
Gripping the staff sword, Fujitora raised his hand to meet Saint Nusjuro, the power of the Press-Press Fruit entwined around the sword, and with a reverse swing, he blocked Saint Nusjuro's attack!
"Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger!"
Fujitora's voice was low and powerful!
This Admiral of the Navy Headquarters had already taken action the moment Akihara Kagura tossed the sword skyward, revealing his stance to everyone present!
"Fujitora..."
Saint Nusjuro's monstrous form held a Samurai Blade!
The blades of the two men clashed tightly, with neither willing to back down in front of the other!
This Five Elder looked down at Fujitora, whose eyes were tightly shut, staring intensely at this stoic yet resolute and equally powerful man!
"I will not step aside,"
Fujitora's expression seemed somewhat earnest, even wearing a slight smile on his face: "I never imagined I'd have the opportunity to serve Lord Kagura..."
Compared to Fujitora, who stopped Saint Nusjuro, the others were rather unexpected, because Saint Saturn didn't anticipate who would stop him...
Just as Saint Saturn's body transformed into a massive monstrous form, intending to kill Akihara Kagura to avenge Imu, a golden light appeared beside Saint Saturn, kicking his body into a stagger!
"Borsalino! How dare you!"
Saint Saturn couldn't believe seeing the flash of light gradually shape into the figure of Kizaru. He had always valued Kizaru highly, entrusting many important figures to him!
"Such a pity..."
Borsalino pursed his lips, smiling and shaking his head, reaching up to adjust his glasses with a slightly uncomfortable expression: "At this moment, standing beside Saint Saturn would be the unreasonable act, right..."
"!!!"
Saint Saturn's furious eyes fixated on Borsalino.
The next moment!
Everyone on the Navy battleship slowly began to react!
From Akihara Kagura's self-revealed identity, the resolute strike that killed the King of the Heavenly Celestial Dragon Imu, and the intervention by two Admirals of the Navy Headquarters to stop the Five Elders from attacking Akihara Kagura—all of this transpired in just a matter of seconds!
"The Three Great Admirals of the Navy Headquarters..."
A group of surviving Heavenly Celestial Dragons finally realized what had happened and began to shout loudly, launching attacks on the Navy around them!
"The Navy is traitorous!"
"These dogs of the Navy have betrayed us!"
It was an indisputable fact.
Because all Three Great Admirals of the Navy Headquarters had betrayed the Heavenly Celestial Dragons, regardless of whether they were spies from the Konoha Pirates or something else, it at least proved that the Navy was undoubtedly disloyal!
"Eliminate the remnants of the Heavenly Celestial Dragons!"
Amid the crowd, Karin suddenly drew her Ninja Sword and charged at a powerful Heavenly Celestial Dragon. Her body erupted with golden chains, instantly binding the enemy, then she rushed in and beheaded him!
The battleship fell into chaos instantly!
