Chapter 52: Rum... Surpasses an Admiral-level Powerhouse?! Everyone is Shaken [3/3]
The severed arm on the ground was still tightly gripping the Shodai Kitetsu!
"That's?! The Five Elder's arm!"
"There's no mistake, that's one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, the Shodai Kitetsu!"
"The Five Elder's arm was cut off by Rono?"
Kong, Garp, Zephyr, Sengoku, and Tsuru all sucked in a cold breath after seeing this result!
How is that possible!
The Five Elder's arm was actually cut off by Rono!!
The Five Elders were Admiral-level powerhouses, yet his arm was actually cut off by Rono!
Could it be that Rono's strength has already surpassed that of an Admiral?
A blade of doubt immediately hung over everyone's hearts!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Even if his talent was monstrous, allowing him to grow into an Admiral-level powerhouse in a short time, the realm above the Admiral level was a domain that most people could never reach!
In the realm above the Admiral level, the number of people in the entire world could be counted on one hand!
On the seas today, there was only one person who had broken through the realm of Admiral-level powerhouses!
The overlord of the seas, Rocks!
At this moment, the hearts of the spectating Marines like Kong and Garp were already in turmoil, like a raging sea with thunder crashing down!
"Is this guy really a rookie who just went out to sea for three months, just like us?"
Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino were also stunned!
The Admiral level was already an existence they had to look up to with awe, their lifelong pursuit!
Surpassing the Admiral level?
They didn't even dare to imagine it!
"The sword-wielder's arm was cut off!"
"How is that possible?!!"
At this moment, the commotion caused by Rono immediately attracted everyone's attention!
Including the four Five Elders, Rocks, Whitebeard, Shiki, and other powerhouses.
Also, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, John, Charlotte Linlin, and other Division Commanders.
And the CP0 agents present.
After hearing the Marines' exclamations of amazement, they all stopped fighting and looked towards Rono's side of the battlefield!
Then, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief!
The sword-wielding Five Elder's arm was really cut off!
Seeing the arm still twitching on the ground, the nerves hadn't been completely severed yet; it was very fresh!
How could this be?
A storm seemed to be raging in the hearts of the four Five Elders!
They knew the sword-wielding Five Elder's strength best!
A genuine Emperor-level powerhouse, his top-tier grandmaster swordsmanship was superb!
With just his sword intent, he could make people see illusions, see the Grim Reaper!
He was a genius among the Celestial Dragons, which was why he was chosen by Lord Imu to be one of the Five Elders!
But how long had they been fighting?
Less than ten minutes, and the sword-wielding Five Elder's arm had already been cut off!
If it were them, the outcome probably wouldn't have been much better!
Could it be that this Rono had already surpassed the Admiral-level?
At this thought!
The hearts of the four Five Elders felt as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue; their hearts almost stopped!
Too fast, it was simply too fast!
The growth of "The Vile One's" strength was too fast!
They had originally thought he was an Admiral-level powerhouse, and that was enough to shock the Five Elders.
But he had now surpassed the Admiral level?
This was something the Five Elders found extremely difficult to accept!
After this battle, it seemed they would have to consult that god!
"Gurarararara, well done, Rono!"
Whitebeard grinned broadly, at the same time, he was extremely shocked!
If you were to ask who in the Rocks Pirates knew Rono's strength best!
Besides Rono himself, it was undoubtedly Whitebeard!
After three months of sparring, Whitebeard understood Rono's strength the best!
It could be said that in the previous three months, Rono was still on par with him; they were both Emperor-level powerhouses, and neither could do anything to the other.
If they really fought, it would take ten days and ten nights to determine a winner.
Now, he had cut off the sword-wielding Five Elder's arm in an instant. This kid had probably already surpassed him!
After all, Whitebeard asked himself, it was impossible for him to cut off the arm of an Admiral-level powerhouse in a short time!
However, Whitebeard did not feel any jealousy or dissatisfaction in his heart; instead, he was genuinely happy for Rono. And Whitebeard also made a silent resolve to redouble his efforts to improve his strength.
"Have you grown again?"
A faint smile appeared on Rocks' lips.
Such talent probably surpassed his own!
It was time to put the plan to wipe out the Celestial Dragons on the agenda!
"Jihahahaha, this is truly astonishing."
The Golden Lion also widened his eyes, not expecting Rono's strength to have reached a point where even he had to look up to it!
His own strength was about the same as the sword-wielding Five Elder's!
If he had been the one fighting Rono just now, wouldn't his own arm have been cut off by Rono?
Fortunately, he hadn't offended Rono on the ship, and had even taken care of him at times.
The Golden Lion felt lucky about his decision back then!
"As expected of a genius with monstrous talent!"
"Mamamamama, I love you to death!"
"Hehe, this is the strength of the Seventh Division Captain."
Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, John, Charlotte Linlin, and the others were also extremely shocked!
It had only been three months since Rono became a Division Commander, and he had already grown to the point where he could cut off an Admiral's arm!
Such talent, the four Division Commanders could only look up to!
The expressions under the masks of those CP0 agents were also filled with terror!
The Five Elders!
The supreme existence of the Celestial Dragons!
Each of them possessed strength no less than that of an Admiral!
Yet, his arm was cut off by that commoner, "The Vile One"!
Just how terrifying was Rono!
"Damn it, why isn't your arm broken!"
At this moment, even though the hearts of everyone present were in turmoil, the shock in the sword-wielding Five Elder's heart was ten times greater than the Marines'!
He clutched his lost right arm, his face filled with shock!
He... had clearly slashed at Rono's arm as well!
But now, Rono's arm was completely intact, while he had lost his right hand, the hand he used to eat and hold a sword!
How could this be?!
"Hehe, I told you, you can't stop me."
Rono sneered and stood up from his half-kneeling position.
This was thanks to the physical talent he had just picked up, Iron Balloon!
Only then could he trade injuries for injuries!
The result was that his right arm only had a sword wound!
It looked bloody, but it was completely insignificant; not even the bone was injured.
But the sword-wielding Five Elder's right arm was forcibly chopped off by him!
In this way, his strength would definitely be greatly reduced!
Especially since he himself had no fruit ability, relying solely on martial arts, and specializing in swordsmanship!
It could be said that this sword-wielding Five Elder was almost a cripple!
However, cutting off the arm of an Admiral-level powerhouse with all his might was not easy for Rono!
That last strike had consumed almost half of his Haki!
But the reward was one of the Five Elders' arms, which was still worth it!
When he grew to a strength comparable to Rocks, it would probably be much easier.
"It's time to change swords."
Rono looked down at Kotetsu in his hand.
A small crack had already appeared on Kotetsu's blade!
There was no helping it; the clash just now was too intense, and Kotetsu's blade couldn't withstand it. Even though he had wrapped Kotetsu in Haki, a crack still appeared.
It seemed that a Great Grade Sword still couldn't compare to a Supreme Grade Sword!
Speaking of Supreme Grade Swords, there was one right in front of him
