Chapter 56 Akin's Outburst
Chapter 56 Akin's Outburst
Generally speaking, prediction is the effect of perception and awareness.
"You've awakened Observation Haki?" Lina asked in surprise after regaining her senses.
"no!"
Enni and Zoro denied it almost simultaneously, then looked at each other and laughed.
"This is something I've learned from extensive combat experience. Just by looking at the movements of the opponent's legs and shoulders, I can predict what kind of move they will make next."
Zoro looked at him with a hint of admiration.
This isn't something that can be grasped simply by having extensive combat experience; it also requires talent. Therefore, it's not something just anyone can comprehend; at least, he can't do it yet.
He glanced at Aini again and thought to himself, "I suppose Brigadier General Aini can't do it either."
At the same time, Akin had already rushed in front of Absalom. Absalom was greatly shocked, clearly unable to accept it for a moment, as Akin easily dodged his attack.
However, he was still one of the three oddballs under Gecko Moria's command.
He reacted quickly, and seeing Ah Jin rushing towards him, he raised his hand and threw a punch at Ah Jin's face.
Akin, however, seemed to have anticipated this, easily dodging the attack by ducking his head. Then, he swung his cane hammer out fiercely, smashing it hard into Absalom's abdomen.
The immense force forced Absalom to retreat seven or eight steps before he could stop.
The two looked at each other, both greatly shocked.
Absalom was shocked by Akin's strength. You must know that his body is not that of an ordinary human. It has long been modified by Hogback and is not just ordinary.
Moreover, its strength is also terrifying.
But I never expected...
Akin was shocked by Absalom's thick skin and tough hide. He knew that the attack he'd just delivered, though not at full strength, still had used about 60% of its power... yet it hadn't even scratched Absalom.
What kind of defensive capability is this?
If the other party hadn't been a pirate, he would have suspected that the other party had also cultivated iron blocks.
Absalom gave Akin a deep look, then activated his power and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Ah Jin's expression changed drastically.
He even thought to himself, "This is bad!"
He immediately became fully alert, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings to prevent a sneak attack. At the same time, he was also looking for an opening.
"Bang.."
The next second, Akin was struck hard in the back. The powerful force sent Akin flying, crashing more than ten meters away.
"brush..."
Upon seeing this, Lina and Solon instantly drew their swords, intending to rush forward to help.
But Aini stopped her: "This is his opponent... I believe he can do it."
As his subordinate, you will face some of the world's strongest warriors. Therefore, you must grow rapidly. Adversity is where one is most likely to break through their limits.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
Akin couldn't find Absalom at all and could only passively take the beating.
"Pfft..."
After being hit hard once again, Akin was sent flying and crashed more than ten meters away.
He struggled to his feet, but before he could regain his balance, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, which even contained a tooth... The continuous blows had indeed caused him serious injuries.
But his gaze remained steadfast and unwavering, a stark contrast to his slightly swaying body.
Lina and Zoro frowned upon seeing this.
They admired Akin's perseverance and willpower, but they were also worried about him. This ability user was truly difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Vivi and Icarus exchanged a glance, both seeing the reluctance in each other's eyes, and even couldn't help but utter, "Brigadier General Aini..."
But before they could finish speaking, Aini interrupted them, saying, "He can do it..."
As if to confirm Aini's words, Akin swung his cane sharply, slamming it into a large tree beside him. The force of the blow caused the entire tree to shake violently.
The leaves on the tree fell like snowflakes.
At the same time, Akin's eyes scanned his surroundings. Finally, he saw a few leaves blocking his view.
"shave...."
Ajin vanished from his spot in an instant, reappearing above that location. The cane in his hand spun wildly, emitting a piercing whistling sound.
"boom..."
This attack used all of Akin's strength and was definitely his strongest attack.
Seize the opportunity and kill him.
That's always been his style!
Moreover, he understood that he only had this one chance and absolutely could not miss it.
The terrifying force caused a huge crater to form in the ground, revealing Absalom's figure. However, he was lying in the very center of the crater.
His head was covered in blood.
The ground cracked around the crater, and the cracks quickly spread outwards...
This shows just how terrifying the power of this attack was.
"Oh, this..."
Even Ah Jin was stunned. After regaining his senses and thinking carefully, a terrifying power erupted from his body at the last moment.
This enhanced the power of the attack.
"Ha ha ha ha....."
Enni burst into laughter, because at the last moment of that attack, Akin had actually awakened Armament Haki. It wasn't that his newly awakened Armament Haki possessed such power.
However, Armament Haki unleashes a burst of power the moment it awakens. This will only bring bad luck to Absalom...
At the same time, Akin was completely exhausted.
His body swayed, and then he fell to the ground.
Aini walked over, looked at Akin who was missing a front tooth, and laughed, "You've really struck gold by trading a tooth for Armament Haki awakening."
As he spoke, he looked toward Icarus.
Icarum immediately understood and stepped forward to help Akin up: "Then the princess and I will take Akin back to the ship first!"
Eni waved her hand: "There's a very good doctor in Moria. You carry Arkin on your back, and we'll go find him."
Upon hearing this, Icarum immediately hoisted Akin onto his back and followed Aini.
Absalom, on the other hand, was being carried forward by one leg by Zoro.
"Negative, negative, negative..."
Just as everyone was leaving, three ghosts floated out from the corner and stared intently at the backs of Aini and his group.
...
“Absalom..
Inside the castle, there's an adorable little girl with pink pigtails, a crown on her head, and a burgundy umbrella in her hand.
His eyes widened in surprise.
She is Perona, one of the three monsters under Gecko Moria.
How could she not be shocked? Absalom was undoubtedly the strongest of the three monsters. Moreover, his Devil Fruit ability was so unique.
How many pirates lost in the Devil's Triangle died at his hands?
I never expected to be defeated by a naval lieutenant commander.
I simply can't believe it.
