Chief Sonic is right, they are just pirates!
- Listen carefully, red-haired Shanks! This Mr. Baptiste Sonic is Kamaitachi of CP9, and he is also the strongest person in CP9!
- Brothers, there are only three of them, let's do it together!
But before Sonic could introduce himself, the agents on the beach had already started shouting his name. It turned out that his bold words and powerful blows had dispelled most of the fear of the red-haired Shanks, and the fighting spirit that had been at zero just now was quickly restored.
Even a few brave men stood up and called for everyone to attack Red Shanks' pirates.
- Hey, enough of this nonsense!
Seeing this, Sonic descended from the air to the ground and quickly stopped them.
But it was too late!
"There are too many people, we have to do something," Shanks whispered, looking at the hundreds of people rushing towards them, and he himself went to meet them.
Humming ——
The air seemed to tremble, as if it were being compressed by a monstrous force.
In the blink of an eye, an almost tangible, terrifying aura erupted from Shanks' body, turning into a raging hurricane that swept across the entire beach, changing the color of the sky and the ground, as if turning the entire space into a gray-white, strange reality.
The ship, thrown ashore, seemed unable to withstand this almost physical pressure. Its huge hull began to creak, and the wooden deck and railings began to split.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Hundreds of people froze in place.
Here ——
One of the Marines rolled his eyes and fell unconscious.
This caused a chain reaction. Almost everyone on the beach rolled their eyes and fell to the ground one after another like sheaves.
- Conqueror's... haki...
Sonic felt an unprecedented pressure, as if a giant sea king was aiming at him. Goosebumps appeared all over his body, and his scalp became numb. It felt like his mind and body were being crushed, forced to bow his head.
- Damn it... how can I... bow down to someone like you!
Sonic's eyes flared with rage. He looked straight into Shanks' eyes and shouted with all his might, "If you think you can intimidate me with your aura, you're wrong!"
Humming ——
An equally terrifying aura rose from Sonic's body, like a volcanic eruption, and collided with Shanks's Conqueror's Haki.
Boom ——
There was a thunderous roar.
Dozens of red and black lightning appeared in the air, the atmosphere exploded into an even more powerful storm that spread in all directions, covering the sky and the earth.
The earth shook, cracks ran across the sand, and tall palm trees were torn out by the roots and carried into the sky like straw.
- Are you kidding? Conqueror's Haki Clash?!
- He's just a government agent... but he has Conqueror's Haki?!
Yasopp and Lucky Rou looked on in shock, covering their faces with their hands.
They didn't expect to meet an agent with Conqueror's Haki on a small island.
After all, Conqueror's Haki is not something that can be acquired through training.
This is the quality of a king that is given to only one in millions.
After some time, the Haki clash ended, leaving behind only chaos.
- Ha-ha-ha! What a sight!
Shanks didn't get angry, but on the contrary, he laughed. He looked at Sonic with interest and said: - It seems that you are also a person who is not used to obeying!
Through the clash of their Haki, he seemed to see Sonic's ambition.
- Don't think that you can look into someone else's heart so easily!
Sonic remained angry and was still seething with anger after the pressure.
In response to Shanks, he used the Six Styles - Shave technique and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
- What speed!
Yasopp and Lucky Rou gasped again, amazed by Sonic's skill.
Shanks looked at him in surprise and said:
- So that's where your nickname "Kamaitachi" came from!
His eyes became sharp as if he understood everything. He quickly looked back into the void, and in the next second, he swung his famous sword, Griffon, and slashed to the right.
There was a sharp sound and fire burst into the air. Sonic appeared out of nowhere like a ghost. His right hand was clenched into a claw-like form and he pressed the blade of the Griffon sword with force.
A sharp and powerful current of air arose in the center between the two warriors. It flew out in all directions with a roar, leaving deep cracks in the soft sand and raising clouds of dust into the air.
"An unusual attack... are you capable?" Shanks asked, looking closely at Sonic.
Shanks's long black cloak fluttered in the wind, and his lips slightly raised in a smile stretched by the sharp flow of air. He held onto his sword with one hand, and swung the other outward. An incredible force emanated from his seemingly thin body, and Sonic was thrown aside.
Before he could finish his sentence, Sonic realized that he was already flying in the air, seeing only the sky above him.
He flipped over, quickly stabilized his body in flight, and then landed softly on the ground.
"That's right, I'm a user of the Devil Fruit, the Sickle ability!" Sonic said proudly.
His face twisted into a wicked grin. His index fingers curled into claw-like shapes and he shouted:
– The wind I raise is sharp as the legendary blade – the Mad Sickle!
His hands moved with incredible speed, leaving only blurred silhouettes behind. The air in front of him began to sway again, and changes became visible, which grew into countless blades of wind.
It was a massive attack that was aimed at the three Red-Haired Pirates.
"Such a powerful wind sickle... the Sickle fruit is truly extraordinary!" Shanks remarked, the smile on his face not fading, but his eyes became even sharper.
He suddenly took a step forward and swung the Griffon sword, infusing it with the Conqueror's Haki.
- Divine Departure!
At that moment, an incredibly powerful Conqueror's haki burst out, creating a visible shockwave mixed with red and black lightning.
This overwhelming blow, filled with the power of thunder, changed the color of the world around and in the blink of an eye, dispersed all the blades of wind flying towards it.
Sonic looked terribly scared. In his eyes, only the red edge remained, filling the entire world around him.
- Boom!!!
An incredibly powerful blow, like a thunderclap, sent Sonic flying without the slightest resistance. Even the large ship stuck on the beach behind him was cut in half in an instant.
The wreckage of the ship flew into the air, and a deafening sound echoed across the vast sea.
