"Damn it!" The silver-haired man's eyes widened suddenly as he saw Aeridar's attack, his pupils contracting sharply.
In an instant, his body swelled up, and his fist, which was glowing faintly, shot out.
BOOM!
Fist met fist, and a powerful shockwave exploded, instantly blowing away a large number of the surrounding knights and agents. Even Saint Eanriel was sent tumbling backward by the blast. If a knight nearby hadn't grabbed him, he would have rolled right into the sea.
"Ho~ I didn't expect a piece of trash like you to have a master like this protecting him," Aeridar said, looking curiously at the silver-haired man who had blocked his punch.
"Tch~ You're a monster!" The silver-haired man in the black suit gritted his teeth, desperately holding his ground against Aeridar's fist. He felt the force coming from the ground was like a giant mountain, as if a little more pressure would crush him.
"A CP agent, huh? A decent Rokushiki. Give me your name, and I'll kill you with my own hands," Aeridar said with a sinister smile on his face.
"CP9 Instructor, Dick Simas!" The silver-haired man gave his name, then said coldly, "Golden Ring Aeridar, you should know that if Eanriel-sei dies, you'll definitely be hunted down by a Marine Admiral. Your title as a Warlord of the Sea won't protect you!"
"Oh, really~ An instructor-level agent, and from CP9 no less. The World Nobles really are a privileged bunch!" Aeridar glanced at him in surprise, then looked mockingly at the Celestial Dragon before saying with a bloodthirsty grin, "If I kill all of you, no one will know!"
To be an instructor in a World Government CP organization, one's Six Powers had to be perfected, and their strength had to be formidable, on par with an average Marine Vice Admiral. They either taught new recruits or carried out top-secret missions of S-rank or higher. It was safe to say that in the vast World Government, there were not many instructor-level masters in these CP organizations.
"Hmph~ I swear on the name of the justice that comes from the darkness, I will not let you get away with this!" Simas snorted, raising his right leg high, tensing the muscles in his head, and bringing it down sharply on Aeridar's head.
Rokushiki, Tekkai: Steel Leg!!!
BANG!
The kick was fast and fierce, tearing through the air and smashing down on Aeridar's head. Under the immense force, the ironwood deck beneath Aeridar's feet shattered into countless fine cracks.
"Not bad for an instructor's attack, but that's not enough!" Aeridar's head seemed to be coated in a layer of black paint with a metallic sheen, and it withstood Simas's right leg. He stared straight at him, his face filled with a look of madness.
"What?!" Simas's eyes widened. He didn't dodge or avoid an attack like that and just blocked it with his head. This is too terrifying.
"Now it's my turn!" Aeridar roared excitedly, suddenly launching into a barrage of attacks.
Whoosh~
In an instant, the air became chaotic.
"Damn it! Soru!" Simas's heart warned him, and he took a series of rapid steps on the deck, instantly disappearing from his spot.
Rumble~
The next moment, the chaotic air condensed and shot out as a pale white shockwave. The powerful blast swept across the deck, hitting over a dozen armored knights and agents in black suits. Their bones shattered, blood poured from their mouths and noses, and their bodies were thrown away by the shockwave.
"Protect me! Protect me!" Saint Eanriel cried out in a panic as several knights shielded him.
Swoosh!
In the air, several blue and white slashes appeared out of nowhere, slicing down.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
The sharp slashes hit the deck, instantly creating several long cracks. They even went through the deck, cutting it completely in two.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In mid-air, Aeridar and Simas appeared. One was flying, and the other was using Geppo to stay afloat. Their fists and feet clashed, causing the air to constantly vibrate.
"Fist Style: Impact Fist!!!" Aeridar dodged a Finger Pistol attack and then threw a punch at Simas's chest.
"Tekkai: Steel!" Simas couldn't dodge and had no choice but to take the hit. His body trembled slightly, and an almost imperceptible glow flashed.
Bang!
Aeridar's fist slammed into Simas's chest, and another shockwave erupted. Simas was sent flying backward like a black shadow.
Rumble~
As if he had broken the sound barrier, Simas instantly smashed into the ship's deckhouse, causing countless pieces of shattered wood and stone to fly everywhere and creating a deep hole. The ship shook, and the entire vessel began to sink as a large amount of seawater rushed through the holes in the sides.
BOOM!
But a few seconds later, several broken wooden planks flew out of the hole, and two figures shot out.
Thump~
"Hah~ Hah~ Hah~" Simas, his clothes soaked, panted, kneeling on the ground with blood at the corner of his mouth. Water dripped from his clothes.
Swoosh!
In the air, Aeridar looked at Simas, his body plummeting toward the ground at high speed.
Rumble~
Aeridar punched the deck, burying his arm halfway into it.
"Not bad speed," Aeridar said with a cold laugh, pulling his arm out.
"Rankyaku: Den!!!" Nearby, Simas lowered his body and swung his back leg violently.
Swish!
The air roared, a bright light flashed, and a large blue-white slash appeared from thin air, slicing rapidly toward Aeridar.
"Hm?!" Aeridar's eyebrows shot up. He didn't try to block it but quickly ducked to avoid it.
Slash!
The blue-white light flashed across the deck and flew out into the sea behind them. The next second, the upper bodies of over a dozen knights and agents, along with all the buildings on that part of the deck, were sent flying. They had been sliced in half.
Rumble~
A large number of the deck buildings fell into the sea, creating waves seven or eight meters high. At the same time, the dozen or so knights and agents who had been sliced in half were not yet dead, wailing on the deck as their blood turned the deck red.
Tak tak tak...
Saint Eanriel, seeing the giant slash flash over his head, was so scared he couldn't speak, his teeth chattering uncontrollably.
"How ruthless, killing your own men," Aeridar said, teasing him deliberately.
"They sacrificed themselves for justice," Simas said coldly, his chilling tone sending shivers down people's spines.
"How typical of the World Government," Aeridar said, a look of contempt on his face. "You've learned their cold-bloodedness and hypocrisy perfectly."
"Don't talk! A mere pirate like you has no right to say such a thing!" Simas extended his index finger, and his entire hand was instantly covered in a layer of pitch-black metal. Then he disappeared from his spot.
Armament Haki: Hardening: Rokushiki: Shigan: Black Spot!!!
In an instant, countless black dots appeared in front of Aeridar, covering his entire body.
