"To be able to nullify Akainu's Elemental Transformation..." Saint Warcury said with a frown. "How did this guy do it?"
"Perhaps he used Haki?" Saint Nusjuro guessed.
"Are you confused?" Saint Warcury glanced at him and said, "Since when did Haki have such an effect?"
Saint Warcury was very clear that no matter which type of Haki it was, it was impossible to nullify Elemental Transformation.
"Then it must be some special ability of the Ninja," Saint Saturn said. "He might have mastered some powerful ability we don't know about."
"And it's precisely by relying on this ability that he can nullify the Elemental Transformation of a Marine Admiral like Akainu!"
"An ability derived from his bloodline?"
Recalling the various scenes he had seen before, Saint Mars frowned subconsciously.
"Most likely," Saint Saturn nodded. "After all, the intelligence we received indicates that this guy is not a Devil Fruit Ability User."
"Not a Devil Fruit Ability User..." Saint Nusjuro said, "Then it can only be an ability inherent to his bloodline." After saying that, Saint Nusjuro paused, then added with some emotion, "What an astonishing race."
Not to mention all the strange abilities from before, now another one has appeared that can nullify Elemental Transformation... This little Ninja brat is truly no small threat.
Thinking of this, Saint Nusjuro murmured to himself, I just don't know what race this kid belongs to.
"Although we don't know what race this kid is from, as long as we can capture him, this ability can belong to us," Saint Saturn said, his eyes glinting.
As long as they could obtain his genes, they could have Vegapunk create a clone of him and then turn it into a Seraphim!
That way, this power would completely belong to their World Government!
"That being said, it won't be an easy task to capture him," Saint Warcury said.
"Indeed."
Saint Mars, who was at the side, also nodded. "At least from the current situation, these Marines can't capture this kid. With a guy like Whitebeard, who is determined to die, blocking the Marines, they basically have no chance to take down the Blood-Eyed Ninja."
Besides... this kid with the Undying Body ability wouldn't just stay and wait for death.
"Hmph, if that guy Garp was willing to make a move, he could definitely capture that kid," said Saint Shepherd.
"You can forget about that," Saint Mars said. "Don't forget who is being executed this time."
That guy Garp was the most disobedient Marine, so he didn't expect him to do anything.
"Hmph, that damn guy," Saint Shepherd said, his eyes turning cold. "If it weren't for the fact that he's a Marine Hero, I'd really like to..."
Hearing his words, the eyes of the other four old men also grew somewhat cold.
But there was nothing they could do. Garp was a Marine Hero, the spiritual pillar representing the Marines.
No matter how displeased they were, they couldn't really make a move against him.
"Alright, let's not talk about him," Saint Nusjuro said. "Let's talk about the Blood-Eyed Ninja."
"What's there to talk about?" Saint Saturn said. "After this war is over, we'll just send people to search for the Blood-Eyed Ninja's location, then dispatch the God's Knights to take him down."
Using the God's Knights, who also possessed Undying Bodies, to deal with the Blood-Eyed Ninja was the most suitable course of action.
"That's the only way," Saint Nusjuro said helplessly.
They couldn't count on the Marines now, so they could only place their hopes on the God's Knights.
As for the five of them going out together?
Don't be ridiculous. A mere Blood-Eyed Ninja was not worthy of the five of them making a move together.
"The God's Knights..." Saint Mars muttered these words, then raised his head and said, "Hey, do you think the Blood-Eyed Ninja's ability might be able to suppress regeneration?"
"Suppress regeneration?"
Hearing Saint Mars's words, the others were momentarily stunned.
Then, Saint Saturn said, "You mean... this kid's ability can not only affect the Elemental Body of Logia types, but also nullify our infinite regeneration?"
"I'm not sure. The thought just suddenly occurred to me," Saint Mars said.
Hearing Saint Mars's words, the other four fell into deep thought.
Their instincts told them this idea was a bit absurd, but when they thought about how his ability could disable a Logia type's Elemental Transformation, they became a little less confident.
After all... they had never seen such an ability.
After a moment of silence, Saint Saturn said, "It's possible, but we'll only know for sure after a fight."
The others understood what Saint Saturn meant. He was naturally referring to sending the God's Knights to deal with Meiser.
"That's the only way," Saint Mars nodded.
Then, the five old men turned their gazes to the screen, intending to see the final outcome of the war.
At this moment, Saint Saturn narrowed his eyes.
A Blood-Eyed Ninja with a special ability, is it?
If I could get this guy under my control, perhaps...
As if he had thought of something, Saint Saturn fell into contemplation.
"Elemental Transformation disabled?" Blackbeard, hiding in the shadows, frowned as he looked at Meiser's back and said, "What kind of ability does this kid have?"
"Captain, can't your ability also nullify Elemental Transformation?" Burgess said.
"No, it's different," Blackbeard shook his head.
His Dark-Dark Fruit could indeed nullify Devil Fruit Abilities, turning the opponent into an ordinary person without powers, but it couldn't disable their body after they had already transformed into an element!
And yet, this Blood-Eyed Ninja could do just that...
How on earth did he do it?
Thinking of this, Blackbeard fell into deep thought.
"It's different?"
Jesus Burgess scratched his head, clearly not understanding the subtlety.
"What kind of Devil Fruit Ability User is this kid?" Shiryu asked curiously.
"He's not a Devil Fruit Ability User," Lafitte said. "Back in Impel Down, he said he wasn't a user."
"Not a user?"
Shiryu was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "In that case... he accomplished this by relying on some kind of Ninja ability."
"That's possible," Lafitte nodded.
Since he wasn't a Devil Fruit Ability User, it could only be some kind of Ninja ability.
As for what it was, he had no idea. After all, he wasn't a Ninja.
"An ability inherent to a Ninja..."
Blackbeard, having come back to his senses, rubbed his brow and said, "What a pity."
If only the other party were a Devil Fruit Ability User, then he could use his own Devil Fruit Ability to steal his power!
That way—he could increase his side's combat strength.
'What a pity he isn't,' Blackbeard thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Blackbeard sighed silently.
"Captain, when are we making our move?" Van Augur asked.
"Zehahahaha, don't be hasty!"
Blackbeard grinned. "Let them fight a little longer!"
The more miserably Whitebeard was beaten, the more advantageous it was for him!
'Mm, it would be even better if they could beat Whitebeard to within an inch of his life,' Blackbeard thought to himself.
That way, he could take the Tremor-Tremor Fruit into his possession without any effort!
Thinking of this, Blackbeard's smile grew even wider.
"Yes, Captain!" Jesus Burgess said.
With that, Jesus Burgess fixed his gaze on Whitebeard's back, his eyes gradually sharpening.
'Whitebeard, use your life to send the Captain to the throne of the Four Emperors!!'
Wihahahaha!
"Damn Ninja brat," Akainu said, looking at Meiser furiously. "You don't really think you can stop me like this, do you!"
Although he couldn't restore his body to its original state, he hadn't lost his ability to fight!!
If he wanted to, he could turn into magma at any moment and charge towards the distant pirate ships!
"I never expected to take your life with just that one blow," Meiser said, flicking the pale golden spear in his hand. "But... do you dare let me have another go?"
As he spoke, Meiser's gaze fell on Akainu's head, the meaning unspoken but clear.
Upon hearing Meiser's words, Akainu's expression immediately darkened.
That's right, he didn't dare.
After all... his abdomen still hadn't recovered!
"Looks like you understand the gravity of the situation," Meiser said, tilting his head to look at Akainu. "How about this? You let us leave, and I'll undo the ability. What do you say?"
As he spoke, a hint of amusement appeared in Meiser's eyes.
"Bastard, are you looking down on me?!" Akainu roared.
Making a deal with a pirate?
What a joke!
Never mind that the other party had blown a hole in his abdomen, even if his entire body was turned into magma that couldn't coalesce, he would never make a deal with him!
Besides... the other party was a pirate and would never keep his promise!
"Tsk, looks like this deal can't be made," Meiser spread his hands in a helpless gesture.
"Do you really take me for a fool?" Akainu sneered. "Don't think I don't know what you're planning."
It was nothing more than trying to stall for time. Talk of a deal was all empty!
"You saw through me," Meiser's eyes turned cold. "Looks like you're not so stupid."
That's right, from the very beginning, Meiser had no intention of making any damn deal with Akainu.
After all, this guy had almost killed Merry!!!
"Do you think I've lived for decades for nothing?!" Akainu shouted.
As he spoke, the magma on his body began to surge, and he then raised his fist and threw it at Meiser.
"Great Eruption!"
"Bring it on!"
Watching the approaching Magma Fist, Meiser unhesitatingly controlled Susanoo to punch back!
"Bam!"
"BOOM!!"
The moment the two fists collided, an incredibly terrifying explosion erupted!
"BOOM!!"
The terrifying explosion overturned everything around them, shattering even the remnants of the Earth Flow Wall behind them into rubble!!
Just then, Meiser controlled Susanoo to thrust the TimePiercingSpearOfToki forward.
"Eat my spear!!"
The pale golden spear flew past the Magma Fist, ruthlessly stabbing towards Akainu's head!
Akainu's expression changed at the sight, and he unhesitatingly used Shave to disappear from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was already some distance away from Meiser.
Glancing at the huge weapon in Susanoo's hand, Akainu said, "What a pain."
It seemed that to fight this kid, he had to abandon his previous habits and fight him with Haki.
But now was not the time to waste on this kid. He had to find a way to restrain him so he could have a chance to kill Fire Fist Ace and Straw Hat Boy!
Just then, Akainu noticed a change in Meiser's eyes and simultaneously sensed a familiar aura appear behind him!
"Hm?"
Sensing the sudden appearance of the aura behind him, Akainu's pupils instantly shrank.
"Whitebeard?!"
"Akainu!"
Seeing Akainu standing before him, Whitebeard threw a punch without hesitation!
"Vmmm—"
The fist, infused with Haki and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, brutally smashed into Akainu's head.
"BOOM!!"
The single blow shattered the ground!
Akainu, feeling the intense pain, did his best to maintain the Haki wrapped around his face to protect his body.
Then, he thought to himself, 'Damn it, that damn Whitebeard!'
He already had a hole blown through him, why isn't he dead yet!
Glancing at the furious eyes of Whitebeard, an incredibly strong killing intent erupted in Akainu's own eyes!
If that's the case... then I'll execute him with my own hands!
Just then, Whitebeard retracted his fist and leaped up, simultaneously wrapping the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit around his leg, intending to stomp Akainu to death.
Seeing this, Akainu unhesitatingly fled to the side.
The next moment—
"BOOM!"
The ground, stomped by Whitebeard's foot, was instantly blasted into a huge crater!
"He dodged it."
Glancing at Akainu who had escaped to the side, Whitebeard charged over without hesitation.
Seeing this, Akainu immediately stopped wiping the blood from his face and charged towards Whitebeard without hesitation.
"Die, Whitebeard!!" Akainu shouted.
As he spoke, he wrapped magma and Haki around his fist and viciously punched at Whitebeard!
Seeing this, Whitebeard similarly wrapped Haki around his own arm and ruthlessly struck back at Akainu!
"Clang!"
"Bam!"
"Bam!"
After a few clashes, Akainu was sent flying by Whitebeard!
"I can't let you continue to pursue Ace and the others!" Whitebeard said, looking coldly at Akainu. "So you'll stay right here!"
As his voice fell, Whitebeard charged towards Akainu, simultaneously raising his massive fist!
"Die!"
"In your dreams!" Akainu shouted.
As he spoke, he unleashed his magma, blasting it fiercely towards Whitebeard's face!
Feeling the scorching heat, Whitebeard subconsciously squinted, and the speed of his descending fist slowed by a fraction.
Akainu seized this momentary opportunity, instantly rushing in front of Whitebeard, raising his Magma Fist, and punching forward!
"Dark Hound!!" Akainu roared.
"Pfft!"
"BOOM!!"
With one strike, he blew another large hole in Whitebeard's abdomen.
"BOOM!!"
"Pops!!!"
