"The ability of the String-String Fruit..."
Red-haired Shanks instantly recognized the ability Akihara Kagura was using. He couldn't figure out why Akihara Kagura was able to master Donflamingo's Demon Fruit abilities. It most likely came from the scientist Vegapunk...
But...
What can this ability do?
The figure of Red-haired Shanks suddenly surged forward, drawing his sword to slash the black threads one by one, only to find that these threads were as hard as blades, blocking his sword!
"Shanks... run away..."
Saint Figarland Garling's hoarse voice appeared beside Red-haired Shanks. This Commander of the Divine Knight Order was defeated by Garp and Sengoku in the recent battle, but at this moment he felt an endless surge of energy within his body!
However...
Saint Figarland Garling could not control his actions!
The body of this one-armed elder, under the control of the black threads, broke free from the Navy soldiers, reaching out to grab the western sword on the ground, leaping swiftly towards Red-haired Shanks, and thrusting the sword directly at Shanks' neck!
"You want to use him against me, huh..."
Red-haired Shanks' eyes briefly flashed with complexity, yet he resolutely raised his western sword, Gryphon, blocking Saint Figarland Garling's thrust!
These two one-armed men seemed like the last Western swordsmen under doomsday, engaging in their final contest before their line met its end!
The next second!
Their figures suddenly overlapped!
Saint Figarland Garling's kenjutsu became exceptionally exquisite, instantly piercing Red-haired Shanks' shoulder, a bloody flower blooming on Shanks' shoulder!
"You are not my match..."
Saint Figarland Garling looked desperately at Red-haired Shanks, then at the black threads entangling his head, and finally at the master controlling the threads: "It's him controlling my fight, that bastard's swordsmanship..."
"..."
Could that guy's swordsmanship really be so strong?
Red-haired Shanks' eyes quietly glanced at Akihara Kagura, and even others curiously turned their gaze towards Akihara Kagura.
Could merely using the ability of the String-String Fruit to manipulate a puppet defeat the renowned swordsmanship master of the sea, Red-haired Shanks?
"If you insist..."
"Then have your final western dance here..."
Akihara Kagura extended his other hand, black threads once again soared, instantly entwining the Saint Saturn and Saint Nusjuro, who were battling with the Admirals above!
Woosh!
Saint Saturn and Saint Nusjuro, who had long transformed into monstrous forms, were densely wrapped by black threads, unable to move!
The next moment!
Their bodies were abruptly shredded into countless fragments by the threads!
This strike was like an instant extreme dismemberment, the pain instantly shattered the will of Saint Saturn and Saint Nusjuro, their brains died sooner than their bodies, and blood and remains fell like rain...
They resembled red petals, floating down around Red-haired Shanks and Saint Figarland Garling, if one were to ignore the scent of blood in the air, they seemed like decorations for the atmosphere preceding their sword duel...
But...
These decorations appeared somewhat cruel and bloody.
Even these decorations were extremely costly, for they were the corpses of former world rulers, whom many across the seas wished to see but never could.
Of course.
Some people were indifferent to the death of the Five Elders.
Akihara Kagura stretched his hands in front of himself, his ten fingers slightly moving, manipulating Saint Figarland Garling to enact a swordsman's etiquette towards Red-haired Shanks.
"Begin..."
"Don't disappoint the two deceased Five Elders..."
Akihara Kagura smiled as he spoke: "Saint Saturn and Saint Nusjuro sacrificed their lives to witness your duel, making them a backdrop..."
