Chapter 105 Akin's Complete Rise
Chapter 105 Akin's Complete Rise
After he ate the Sand-Sand Fruit, Enni explained Crocodile's various techniques to him in detail. She also explained other techniques... and regardless of the type, each technique was incredibly powerful.
It's something to really look forward to.
However, he remembered that Aini had repeatedly reminded him.
Techniques are static, but people are dynamic. Therefore, the characteristics of the Sand-Sand Fruit must be fully integrated into every move.
What are the characteristics of the sandy fruit?
Sharp?
The desert sword is indeed sharp. However, when faced with a truly powerful opponent, there are countless swords that can withstand its power.
Moreover, sharpness has never been a characteristic of the sardine.
What are the characteristics of the sandy fruit?
That is absorbing water, whether it's an object or a living thing...
Kira and Akin were standing back to back, so Kira couldn't see Akin's expression. However, Kid, who was facing Akin, could see it clearly.
So, when he saw the smile on Kira's face...
A sense of foreboding washed over him... He wanted to warn him, but he didn't know how. He understood that Kira was making this defensive move at this moment.
That's perfectly reasonable.
Moreover, there is currently no other choice but to defend in this way.
It was too late to hide, let alone escape.
"brush...."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Arkin's sand blade struck Kira's scythe directly. Normally, Kira would either successfully block the attack or be knocked away.
However, what happened next was neither of those two things.
The sand blade, which looked as sharp as a real knife, was sliced through like ordinary sand when it met Kira's scythe.
Therefore, it didn't block the attack at all.
But the seemingly "vulnerable" sand blade didn't dissipate; instead, it remained unaffected and continued its advance, finally striking Kira hard.
Kira was initially taken aback by the knife wound, because the power of the attack was so weak that he questioned his existence. It felt as if he had been hit by an ordinary person with a stick...
Such power could not cause him any harm at all.
But the next second, he felt something was wrong. Because he felt himself becoming lightheaded.
He just felt lightheaded, but to others it was a completely different story: the moment Kira was stabbed, he was completely drained of water in a very short time.
He turned into a dried-up corpse and finally floated down lightly.
"hiss...."
This scene was extremely bizarre, causing everyone who witnessed it to gasp in shock.
He defeated Kira, who had a bounty of 110 million, in one move?
Mr. 2, Mr. 3, Mr. 5, and Miss Golden Week all stared wide-eyed. At this moment, they finally understood why Major General Eni had entrusted Akin with overseeing Whiskey Hill—because he possessed the necessary strength.
Especially Mr. 3, you should know that before, he was the highest-ranking person in Whisky Hill.
He was still very resentful that Akin had taken his position as soon as he arrived. He always believed that Akin had only joined Major General Eni's command a little earlier than him.
He gained Major General Aini's trust earlier; otherwise, given his strength and intelligence, even a fool like Major General Aini would know who to choose.
But now it seems... they don't even need to take action anymore.
......
"Kira..."
At this moment, Kid and the rest of the Kid Pirates couldn't help but show expressions of worry. At the same time, the way they looked at Gin changed.
There was hatred, horror, and terror...
"Gurgle..."
Even Kidd himself couldn't help but swallow hard. The South China Sea is not like the information-isolated East China Sea; it has a certain understanding of the Grand Line and naturally knows the Admiral.
When learning about the Marine Admirals, the topic of Logia-type Devil Fruits is unavoidable.
Why? Because all three current Marine Admirals are Logia-type Devil Fruit users.
Therefore, he understood.
Before you awaken Armament Haki, no matter how strong you are, you will not be a match for him.
Because the only things that can counter Logia-type Devil Fruits, besides fellow Logia users, are Haki and Seastone. Unfortunately, at this moment, he possesses none of these three.
The outcome is now decided.
The only thing that can be changed is whether one is killed or successfully escapes.
Kidd said to the people behind him, "I'll hold this guy off, you guys go save Kira..."
"To restrain me?"
Ajin looked somewhat surprised, then laughed: "I'm afraid you don't have that ability."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of sand surged from Akin's body and quickly gathered above his head. Soon, over a hundred sand-daggers appeared in the air.
"go..."
With a wave of his hand, Akin unleashed a barrage of short swords formed from the sand in the air, raining down on the Kid Pirates...
That move was, I must say, absolutely brilliant.
"not good!"
Kidd's expression changed drastically. Having witnessed the sand strike Kira, he didn't want to become a dried-up corpse as well.
"Magnetic String!"
His Devil Fruit ability activated immediately, attracting all the metal in the vicinity and quickly attaching it to his right arm.
It quickly formed a huge mechanical arm, blocking everyone's way.
"Rumble..."
The next second, the sand spear struck the mechanical giant arm directly. Just like the sand blade before, it didn't cause any direct damage. So, upon impact with the mechanical giant arm, it exploded.
In an instant, a cloud of yellow sand filled the air around Kidd's location, engulfing everyone, including the entire mechanical giant arm.
Visibility was almost zero in all directions.
You can't even open your eyes, because as soon as you do, sand will get into them.
"Silent killing technique!"
Ajin instantly turned into sand and rushed into it, merging with the yellow sand that filled the sky.
"what..."
A scream rang out immediately.
"Ah...ah...ah..."
Then came scream after scream. Each scream meant that someone in the Kid Pirates had fallen.
"No...no...don't kill me."
In an environment where sight is impossible and comrades are constantly being killed, even the strongest-willed person would be terrified.
Kidd, too, was tense all over.
He couldn't care less about anyone else, because he wasn't sure if he would be the next target of the attack.
If Kidd is like this, what about the lowly henchmen under him?
Now, one by one, they deeply understand what boundless darkness, unknown fear, and the threat of death mean.
Death is terrifying!
But what's even more terrifying is the feeling of a sword hanging over your head. Every moment, you are threatened and tormented by death.
