"Momonga, is it? You came here all alone? Thatâs awfully bold of you."
Shin stood on the bow of the ship, calmly looking at Momonga.
Momongaâs face was expressionless, but he was inwardly panicking. He knew that Kuzan, a powerhouse of monstrous strength, had been defeated by this man.
Honestly, Momonga had no confidence in winning this fight, but he didnât need to capture his opponent. He just needed to stall.
Just before, Momonga had already used a Den Den Mushi to send a message back. This place wasnât far from Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Reinforcements could arrive in half an hour.
"I havenât had the pleasure of your name yet." Momongaâs right hand gripped the hilt of his sword, slowly tightening.
It was actually quite amusing. The Marines still didnât know Shinâs name. It couldnât be helpedâthere was simply too little information on Shin.
To the Marines, Shin was someone who had appeared out of nowhere. Despite their investigations, and even the deployment of CP0 by the World Government, they still hadnât found a single piece of information about Shin.
"My name is Shin Uzumaki. Iâm guessing youâre stalling for time, right?"
Shin asked Momonga with a light chuckle.
A wave of pressure radiated from Shin towards Momonga. Momongaâs body went cold, cold sweat beading on his forehead as he looked at Shin in horror.
The Marine soldiers brought by Momonga fainted under the pressure of Shinâs aura.
Though Shin didnât have
Conquerorâs Haki
, his aura was no weaker than
Conquerorâs Haki
.
His immense chakra could also create an unparalleled pressure.
"Shin-nii is so cool!" Hancock looked at Shin with admiration.
As Shin released his aura, the Marine soldiers fainted. Even Momonga, a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, was forced to one knee, using his sword to prop himself up.
"Shin-nii, will we get into trouble if we kill them?"
Robin asked Shin rationally.
"We will. But theyâre not dead yet, are they?"
Shin smiled and turned his head to Robin.
As a smile appeared on Shinâs face, all the pressure dissipated, as if it had never existed.
Momonga, who had been kneeling on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
"Olvia, he was one of the Marine Vice Admirals who executed the Buster Call. Are you going to let him go?"
Shin asked Olvia.
A cold glint flashed in Olviaâs eyes, but she still hesitated.
"You handle it."
Shin decided to let Olvia handle it. This was also a test for Olvia, to see how her strength compared to a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
Olvia nodded. Blue sparks of electricity appeared around her body, and then lightning completely enveloped her.
"<
30 Million Volt: Lightning Beast!
>"
Olvia pulled her hands apart, and a giant beast of lightning emerged from the sparkling electricity, rushing towards Momonga.
"A Devil Fruit user?"
Momongaâs eyes showed shock. He knew about Olviaâs information. He hadnât expected that after two years, she would become a Devil Fruit user. And from the destructive power contained in that lightning beast, Momonga could tell this Devil Fruit was not weak.
Using lightning abilities... could it be the legendary
Rumble-Rumble Fruit
?
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was also a legend, as it hadnât appeared for a long time. But in the records, the ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was exceptionally powerful. Without time to think, he covered his entire body with Armament Haki, bracing for the lightning beastâs attack.
In the New World, Armament Haki was rampant. As a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, how could he not know Armament Haki?
Not only did he know it, but he was also very proficient in it.
"Slash!"
Instantly drawing the long sword from his waist, he then began to counterattack, a sword aura slashing towards Olvia.
Momongaâs attack was very fast. He could be called a master swordsman, second only to a great swordsman.
But no matter how fast his attack speed, it was no match for the instantaneous movement of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Using the electric field generated by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, she transformed into a current and moved instantly within the electric field, ignoring all obstacles.
In terms of speed, it was probably second only to the Glint-Glint Fruit. But the instantaneous movement of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit wasnât as rigid as the Glint-Glint Fruit. After all, light could only travel in a straight line.
Even if it wanted to turn, it needed to be refracted. Its speed might be faster than the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but its agility was inferior.
As Momonga released his sword aura slash, Olvia had already teleported behind him.
"<
Lightning Kick!
>"
A lightning-fast kick struck Momonga from behind. Though Momonga had used
Armament Haki
plus
Iron Body
to defend, he was still sent flying.
This kick might not be comparable to Kizaruâs
Light Speed Kick
, but it wasnât far off.
And this kick carried a burning and paralyzing effect. Momongaâs body was already entangled in electric currents; even
Armament Haki
couldnât resist it.
He fell miserably into the sea. The entire sea area was enveloped in electricity, and many fish were electrocuted.
Olvia glanced at the unconscious Marine soldiers on the ship, her eyes complicated. In the end, she didnât act. Though she had hatred, Olvia was not an extremist like Akainu, she didnât kill them.
ââââ
Donât look at how she had the upper hand in the previous exchange, but the damage she caused to Momonga was not as great as imagined.
Momonga swam up from the sea, using
Moonwalk
to return to the warship. His hair and beard were gone, burned away by the electric current.
Lightning attacks also carried extremely high temperatures, so it was normal for Momongaâs hair and beard to be burned away. His body was also somewhat charred.
From this perspective, Luffyâs
Gum-Gum Fruit
countering the
Rumble-Rumble Fruit
was a bit of a stretch. Though insulators werenât afraid of electricity, could they withstand high temperatures?
"<
Tempest Kick!
>"
Momonga attacked again, his target being Shinâs ship. First, destroy Shinâs ship to prevent him from escaping. This was Momongaâs thought.
"<
Slave Arrow!
>"
The moment Momonga kicked out a vacuum slash, Hancock used the
Love-Love Fruit
, shooting out pink arrows.
Even the vacuum slash was hit and petrified, which slightly surprised even Shin.
However, if one used
Armament Haki
, they probably wouldnât be afraid of the
Love-Love Fruit
âs ability attack.
"Another Devil Fruit user?" Momongaâs brow furrowed deeply. Then he hoped for reinforcements to arrive quickly, otherwise, he really couldnât hold on.
Shin Uzumaki hadnât even acted yet, and he was already at a disadvantage. If Shin Uzumaki acted, couldnât he kill him in seconds?
Even that monster Kuzan was no match for Shin Uzumaki, so Momonga didnât think he was a match either.
He had some self-awarenessâMomonga wasnât someone without it.
