Rokushiki

"You must pay for the death of the Tenryuubito with your cheap life!"

Before Kong could do anything, a CP-0 member moved first. With the death of the Tenryuubito that he had to protect, death was a certainty.

Thus, he wanted to drag the perpetrator behind this incident to death with him.

"Rokuogan!"

Unfortunately, the ultimate attack of the Rokushiki style was stopped by Infinity.

"What?!"

The pupils of the CP-0 man behind the mask contracted sharply.

"Die."

Eiji didn't say much; he touched his opponent, then [Red] appeared inside the CP-0 man's body, and his body exploded from the strong repelling force.

*WHOOSH*

The sound of the wind roared behind him. In an instant, Kong was already behind with his fist covered in Busoshoku Haki and infused with Haoshoku Haki.

*CRACK*

It sounded like glass breaking; Infinity was pierced by the combination of two advanced Haki!

"..."

There was shock and disbelief in Eiji's eyes. Even so, his response was not delayed at all. The Six Eyes clearly saw Kong's movements.

Tilting his head to the side, he dodged the punch by a hair's breadth, and the wind generated scratched and bled his cheek. Then, he counterattacked with a punch.

*BAM*

"That's not enough, Brat!"

Kong easily blocked Eiji's punch with just his left hand.

*CRACK*

The sound of bones breaking was loud. He twisted the other party's wrist and broke it until it was deformed, then threw him.

*BOOM*

Eiji crashed into a building, forming a hole in the wall, but he quickly got up.

"I see. My pure physical strength still can't match the physical specialists in this world, huh."

Frowning from the pain in his left hand, he hurriedly used the Reverse Cursed Technique.

Under Kong's astonished gaze, he saw the hand he had just broken heal in the blink of an eye.

'What kind of power is this? Isn't his Devil Fruit ability supposed to be creating invisible barriers or something? I've never seen a recovery power this strong. If the Marines could obtain this method...'

Thinking this, he was determined to capture him to uncover the secret behind the other's recovery power before executing him.

The battlefield is not a place for people to take turns attacking. Therefore, Kong continued his aggressive assault.

*WHOOSH* *WHOOSH* *WHOOSH*

The continuous punches produced booming sounds and shockwaves.

The surviving Marines and CP-0 members who could watch the battle from the side didn't dare to interfere.

The tragic death of one CP-0 member taught them a lesson that the enemy was not someone they could defeat with their power. Even Kong couldn't defeat him immediately.

"What's wrong, Brat! Can you only dodge? Where's your previous arrogance? Fight me like a real man!"

Kong was frustrated because the other party kept dodging, and none of his punches hit the opponent except once. He even suspected the other's mastery of Kenbunshoku Haki was at an advanced level like his.

With two advanced Kenbunshoku Haki users who could see glimpses of the future, it was difficult to end the fight quickly, leading to a prolonged battle.

"..."

Eiji remained silent.

With the superior vision of the Six Eyes, his neural response speed, and the superhuman physique granted by the Heavenly Restriction, he managed to keep up with Kong's inhuman speed.

After taking considerable damage, he knew he wasn't a match for Kong using all three advanced Haki. So, he took advantage of this moment to observe the flow of Spiritual Energy in the opponent's body with the Six Eyes and tried to learn it.

He wanted to apply all that information to master Kenbunshoku Haki and Busoshoku Haki. After all, he had awakened Haoshoku Haki, the supreme Haki among the variations, indicating it might be possible for him to master Haki!

Spiritual Energy and Cursed Energy did not repel each other like Magic Energy.

As the saying goes, life experience is the best teacher!

"Stop dodging like a rabbit, brat!"

Veins bulged on Kong's forehead, his emotions worsening as he recalled the deaths of the Marine officers and the Tenryuubito in front of him.

Because this place was Mary Geoise, he couldn't use large-scale attack techniques, which might accidentally involve the Tenryuubito.

"You're holding back, Kong. Are you worried about those pigs? Fine, let's change locations."

The pigs, of course, referred to the Tenryuubito.

Eiji hadn't observed much because Kong wasn't using his full power.

"Good!"

Kong stopped attacking, a slight appreciation visible in his eyes, his impression of the other slightly improving. If not for being enemies, he truly wanted to recruit him to the Marines.

"Huh?"

His eyes widened seeing the young man suddenly freed from gravity and floating in the air.

"He can even fly? Invisible defenses, repelling force, extraordinary physique, Haoshoku Haki, and now flight..."

No Devil Fruit power matched that description.

Aside from the recently awakened Haoshoku Haki due to his actions, and the strong physique that could be trained, Kong only knew of one Devil Fruit that could grant its user the ability to fly.

The Fuwa Fuwa no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. Its power is to make inanimate objects float.

The user of this Devil Fruit was none other than one of the three great pirates of the last era, Shiki the Golden Lion.

"What's wrong, Kong? Aren't you coming up?"

The indifferent voice snapped Kong out of his contemplation.

"Tsk, you'll regret this, brat."

Kong jumped high into the air with one leap, then used Geppo to stay stable in the air.

As a former Fleet Admiral and now holding the position of Commander-in-Chief, his mastery of Rokushiki had reached its peak.

Rokushiki is a super special martial art style. Those who master it will have the strength of a hundred people.

It consists of Geppo, Tekkai, Soru, Rankyaku, Shingan, and Kami-e.

—Geppo is the ability to jump to walk in the air.

—Tekkai is the toughness to become like iron.

—Soru is the speed to move so fast it resembles teleportation.

—Rankyaku is the ability to make each kick produce an air blade.

—Shingan is the power of a finger as strong as a gunshot wound.

—Kami-e is superhuman flexibility.

For those who have absolute mastery of all the above, there is also a hidden seventh style known as Rokuogan.

—Rokuogan is to launch a devastating shockwave from the fingers forward, causing severe internal injuries to the victim.

"By the way, I still don't know your name. State your name; I don't want to kill someone nameless."

At a height of 100 meters above Mary Geoise, Kong looked at the other party with regret.

A good seed for the Marines must disappear for infiltrating Mary Geoise and killing the Tenryuubito.

It was an unforgivable crime!

"Kamiki Eiji." Eiji replied lightly.

As before, he was in a defensive position. His goal was to observe Kong using all three of his Haki.

"Kamiki Eiji... A good name, but you must die here. Prepare yourself, brat!"

*WHOOSH*
