Chapter 74: Then, How About Another One?
While everyone in Marineford was shocked, one of the involved parties, Akainu, began to change slightly. He could feel the immense pressure from the meteorite. This was no ordinary meteorite. This meteorite was wrapped by Issho's Gravity Fruit. Originally tens of thousands of meters in diameter, the meteorite was forcibly compressed to only a few hundred meters. It's like compressing Mount Everest to the size of a fist. The internal mass of the meteorite had become terrifyingly extreme, far beyond the kind of meteorites that Mihawk could easily cut through in the movies.
The meteorite broke through the clouds, trailing a sky-scorching tail, directly charging at Akainu. No escape, no evasion. Behind him was a seemingly endless sea of Navy personnel. Akainu snorted coldly, his arrogance not allowing him to retreat at all. His arms were wrapped in magma, forming two massive fists! He made a gesture to support the sky, and then, "Boom!" Akainu directly caught the incoming meteorite with his bare hands. The moment they collided, a violent shockwave rippled out. The meteorite's momentum was immediately halted by Akainu.
Issho had the strength and level of a Navy Admiral, but so did Akainu. Moreover, Akainu was currently in his prime, acknowledged as one of the strongest Admirals. In less than a second or two, Akainu had held off the meteorite. Holding the meteorite high, he still found time to mock, "Is this all you've got?"
Issho didn't reply immediately. He just slightly opened his eyes, revealing completely white eyes. He "looked" at Akainu. "Indeed worthy of being a Navy Admiral, truly troublesome!" Issho said calmly. After pausing for a while, he continued, "Then... how about another one?"
"Shua shua shua!" Under the gaze of the Navy, the pirates, and people all over the world, they saw a second meteorite breaking through the clouds, stacking on top of the first one with a "boom."
"Two meteorites??" Everyone in the Navy already found one meteorite unbelievably absurd. This blind man's strength was actually this formidable. But it wasn't over. The second meteorite followed closely. This... They opened their mouths wide. Without an Admiral, who knows what kind of havoc these meteorites would wreak on them. Even Sengoku and Garp, who were like gods on standby, were seriously scrutinizing Issho. Even from afar, they could sense Issho's terrifying strength.
"This person... who is he really..." Sengoku muttered. "When did the 17th Division have such a powerful individual!" Sengoku suddenly felt immense pressure. A pressure so overwhelming, it left him a bit dazed. Why? Why do the Whitebeard Pirates still have such powerful combat strength? With this kind of strength, why didn't they show it from the beginning? Damn it. The Whitebeard Pirates are even harder to deal with than he imagined.
"Two meteorites..." Marco, Jozu, Vista, and the others couldn't help but exclaim. The other members also swallowed hard, their throats bobbing visibly. Especially Marco. He could clearly feel Issho's strength surpassed his own. "This guy..."
As the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, even Whitebeard was shocked by Issho's strength. However, he looked appreciatively at Lin Yan, wondering where this kid found such a powerful figure! Unexpected. It was truly unexpected for him. Lin Yan was also watching in astonishment, even blurting out, "Wow, Madara!" He looked at Issho with bright eyes. Two meteorites stacked? Isn't this just like the legendary scene where one person challenged the entire ninja world?
Issho, Issho. You're amazing! Lin Yan shouted, "I didn't expect to see the potential of the King of B from you."
"King of B?" Issho heard Lin Yan and asked, puzzled. Clearly, as he got older, he didn't understand Lin Yan's words.
"I want to hear you say 'I acknowledge your strength'!" Lin Yan said expectantly.
"Why should I say that?" Issho asked back.
"Never mind, just focus on dealing with Akainu!" Seeing they were not on the same wavelength, Lin Yan didn't bother to explain.
Back to Akainu. In his eyes, two meteorites crashed together. In that instant, Akainu's face changed. The pressure on his hands doubled, his body nearly faltering, almost falling to the ground. The pressure from the two meteorites compressed by Issho was just too strong. Moreover, Issho inherently had Admiral-level strength. This was a clash of Admiral-level powers! Using two meteorites to crush Akainu, Akainu was driven into Marineford's ground.
"Admiral!" Seeing their Admiral buried by two meteorites, the nearby navy couldn't help but shout. But, Akainu was still Akainu. Within a second of being buried, he used his immense strength to forcefully lift the two meteorites.
"Akainu, your strength remains formidable!" "Indeed!" Zephyr nodded after witnessing this. Akainu was certainly not someone easily dealt with.
"Ha!" Akainu roared, magma surging from his hands, enveloping the two meteorites. In no time, the two indestructible meteorites melted into magma, dripping to the ground as a molten rain! After melting the two meteorites, Akainu, with a stern face, didn't pause for a moment. Despite fighting for so long, he hadn't defeated his opponent. Instead, he was being suppressed! How could Akainu not be angry? He went berserk. "Meteor Volcano!" In an instant, thousands of magma rain flames fell from the sky, crashing down on Issho like meteors. Issho swung his long sword continuously. The magma in front of him was cleaved apart by his blade.
At this moment, another Navy Admiral, Kizaru, descended from the sky. He landed in front of Lin Yan, Zephyr, and others. "Captain, we meet again!" "And... Teacher Zephyr, it's really lucky to see you!" Kizaru, with his hands in his pockets, greeted politely.
"Yes, we meet again!" Seeing Kizaru making friendly overtures, Lin Yan responded with a smile.
"Borsalino, although I was once your teacher, now, I am your enemy! Making friends with the enemy is not what an Admiral should do!" Zephyr responded coldly.
"Oh my~~ Teacher Zephyr, you're as strict as ever!" Kizaru laughed.
