Compared to the other four, obviously stronger by a margin, already stepping into the threshold of the General Emperor Level!
If memory serves.
The third generation Peacekeepers, multiple iterations upgraded, significantly surpassing the combat power of initial models, due to Bonney, all rebelled in the Egghead Island arc and were ultimately wiped out by this old man.
A dozen third-generation Peacekeepers...
Under Nusjuro's sword, all were instantly killed without any resistance.
With this old man and an Akainu, it seems this battle will be tough indeed.
Shano was completely unfazed, instead, his grin grew wider.
Such a rare opportunity for tempering, isn't it just what he wants!
"Borsalino?!"
During this time, a shout filled with shock and anger from Akainu suddenly rang out.
Hmm?
Shano noticed it too and turned his head to look.
Only to see a golden figure flying back like a cannonball, heavily crashing into the lava ground beside Akainu, creating a deep pit dozens of meters wide.
As the smoke cleared, Kizaru's face covered in blood came into view, clutching his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Akainu's complexion changed, about to step forward to support, only to be waved off without acceptance.
"Don't worry, though a bit disheveled, I'm not in any serious trouble."
Kizaru stood straight, wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth, "It's rather you, Sakazuki over there... hmm?"
His gaze turned surprised, looking at Akainu's empty sleeve.
Akainu's face was livid.
"You still haven't taken down Shano?"
Kizaru held his head, started laughing bitterly, "The situation is truly terrible now, I likewise couldn't hold off those four guys..."
Before his voice fell.
Shush! Shush! Shush! Shush!
Four figures arrived in succession, taking flight from the sky, landing steadily amidst the ruins around, encircling Kizaru and Akainu.
They were none other than Kuina, Fujitora, Kuma, and Jack, these four top cadres!
"Borsalino!"
Saint Nusjuro roared with fury, "To be defeated so quickly, scoundrel! Is this your standard?!"
"Misunderstanding, adults~"
Is this karma for being perfunctory too often, Kizaru's eyelid twitched, raised both hands helplessly complaining:
"I truly gave it my all this time, alas the enemy suddenly put their life on the line, couldn't hold on any longer…"
One man an army.
Stubbornly holding off a same-ranked powerhouse along with three slightly weaker enemies, for several hours.
This isn't something everyone can achieve; he could actually take pride in it!
The reason the situation suddenly deteriorated was indeed because of the Five Elders' emergence.
The four top cadres of Endgame, originally barely delayed by him solo, upon realizing the Five Elders started to besiege Shano, erupted completely, willing to trade injury for injury to forcefully break through the defense.
Especially that little girl named Kuina, was practically berserk, using all sorts of reckless methods.
Exhausted, he ultimately couldn't hold that final breath, letting those four break through successfully.
"Hmph, useless!"
Saint Nusjuro coldly surveyed Kizaru then glanced at the distant Saint Saturn cut into two halves, couldn't help but start calculating rapidly.
The situation is turning bad!
Now it's not five against one but six against five!
It seems they still have the upper hand.
But fighting like this, it's bound to risk being swapped, which is absolutely unacceptable!
As rulers of the Heavenly Celestial Dragon, the World Government's top center, how noble their lives are.
The initial reason for descending to the Lower Realm was for the absolute certainty of killing Shano.
Now that hope is dashed, is there truly a need to fight to the death with these lowly ones?
"Hesitating, what are you struggling with…"
Shano's voice of mockery echoed, his figure flickering, suddenly disappeared from the original place.
"Afraid of dying, old folks!"
The next instant, he appeared in front of Akainu, fist entwined with black-red lightning, fiercely striking towards Akainu's chest!
"I'll handle this red dog, the rest, leave to you!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Understood!"
Kuina, Fujitora, Kuma, and Jack responded at once, simultaneously charging out aggressively!
"Gravity Blade·Fierce Tiger!"
Fujitora headed straight for Kizaru, casually waved, and slashed out several dozen meters of purple slash wave, making Kizaru's bitter melon face even more bitter;
"Bebo Impact!"
Kuma stretched his right palm, the meatball shockwave expanded in midair into a bear claw-shaped giant sphere over a hundred meters in diameter, roaring towards the Fengxi Beast;
"Magnus' Giant Horn Charge!"
Jack turned into a mammoth, laughed wantonly, ivory entwined with dense Armament Haki, charging at the giant sand worm;
"Gale Breathless Slash!"
Kuina transformed into a cyan-blue whirlwind, flew up hundreds of meters, the Wado Ichimonji sword pointed directly at the giant monster bird swirling in the sky, Izumizan!
Rumble!!!
The assault from Shano and his four top cadres erupted simultaneously, their respective opponents hastily engaged, the entire battlefield plunged into chaos!
Pah!
Shano and Akainu first separated, the former retreated over a dozen meters, standing firmly.
While Akainu stumbled back violently a hundred steps, spitting out a big mouthful of black blood.
"Seems the lost arm inevitably affected your stamina quite a bit."
Shano casually shook his wrist, looked up leisurely, "Originally estimated that we'd fight until tomorrow; only then could we settle the score, but now it's different."
"There's nothing different!"
