I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

Whether it's useful or not doesn't matter, as long as Dick is happy.

No, no, it's to give the Flame-Flame Fruit confidence.

"This guy calls himself a Marine Admiral? What, you're too scared to use magma after being beaten by my Flame-Flame Fruit?"

"Look at your expression, and your title, 'Red Dog,' it really seems tailor-made for you."

Akainu's eyes are sharp and his ears are attentive, yet his mind remains calm and undisturbed.

It seemed that he hadn't heard Dick's trash talk at all.

Even when they are under immense pressure and constantly injured, they still fight on with all their might.

Unlike his previous relentless attacks, Akainu is now focusing all his energy on defense.

He's waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

They are also waiting for support.

“This guy,” Dick said, also feeling a bit of a headache.

With Akainu defending with all his might, it would be quite difficult to take him down in a short time.

However, Dick would do anything to kill him, if possible.

This would sever a major ally of the Navy and the World Government.

With a single, unbreakable slash, the sword energy descended straight down, and even Akainu had to do his best to stop it.

boom.

A fierce wind blew, and the sea waves rippled.

That was the aftershock of the collision.

Second knife.

Akainu's right hand was slightly numb, and a few drops of blood evaporated before they could flow out.

Three knives.

This time, the burning Samadhi Fire erupted with all its might.

It continuously undermined the domineering aura. The immense power even directly shattered the earth.

*Whoosh!* Akainu was sent flying backward.

Still face down.

In other words, magma can create land on the sea; otherwise, Akainu would have been finished if he had fallen into the sea.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so this is what a Navy Admiral is like." A mocking voice rang out.

"The face-to-the-ground performance was good."

Suddenly, two figures appeared on the battlefield, dressed in exquisite finery, striking a dashing pose, looking down on the world.

He exuded a powerful aura.

It has an extremely high level of sophistication; its mere presence is enough to capture everyone's attention.

The Celestial Dragons' trump card: the Knights of God.

Akainu stood up, wiped the sweat from his face, and silently glanced at the two of them.

They also recognized their identities.

Reinforcements have arrived.

"Be careful, the Flame Demon is very strong."

Although he was annoyed by their attitude, Akainu still gave them a reminder.

"Strong?" The members of the Divine Riders scoffed.

He glanced disdainfully at Dick, then at Akainu.

Those were mocking glances.

“That’s for you, but for us,” the tall knight said, raising a finger.

"Vulnerable."

Akainu: ...

Dick: (⊙﹏⊙)

"Judging from your attire, you must be the legendary..."

The two men sneered, maintaining their cool poses. One of them even closed his eyes, tilting his head slightly at a 45-degree angle, looking cool and handsome.

He looked tall, handsome, and cool under the sunlight.

"World Knight, no, Celestial Dragon Knight,"

"It's the Knights of God." The two were furious.

"God?" Dick suddenly realized. "Yes, I just had five slaves who claimed to be gods. It was too embarrassing, so I shot them all."

He took a Den Den Mushi out of his pocket.

"The Den Den Mushi contains the ugly images of slaves, which I can give to you. Let you see what kind of trash dares to call itself a god."

"You fucking want to die!" The two men roared in fury.

"Don't fall for his trick; he's trying to provoke you," Akainu warned.

"I don't need you to tell me, Akainu, it's just a bunch of psychological tactics," the tall Celestial Dragon said impatiently.

They are not idiots; they are a divine knight order that combines martial prowess and wisdom, the world's strongest team that protects the world's nobility and is directly under the highest level.

"Trying to disrupt our emotions, huh?"

Akainu frowned.

Their arrogance perfectly matched his impression of the Celestial Dragons.

Stupid, arrogant, idiot.

But that's precisely why Akainu has such a headache.

It would be great if Kizaru and Aokiji came. What are these two idiots doing here?

Knights of God, do you really think you're gods?

"We need to join forces; the Balrog is extremely versatile."

Almighty.

This was Akainu's deepest impression from the previous battle.

He is proficient in swordsmanship, Haki, physical combat, and Devil Fruit abilities.

It combines power, speed, and skill perfectly, without any weaknesses.

This is the most troublesome enemy of its level.

The only thing that can defeat him is sheer strength.

"Join forces? Don't take us for granted, Akainu," the tall knight stared at Akainu with disdain.

A mere Marine Admiral is nothing more than a bodyguard for the Celestial Dragons, the lowest rank. No wonder he was intimidated by a lowly pirate.

They're even joining forces?

It seems that even the renowned Iron-Blooded Akainu is nothing special.

"The Flame Demon, is it? You should feel honored, for you are about to die at the hands of Saint Ambarok."

The other person crossed his arms, his gaze indifferent.

Dick looked like a dead man.

Dick: (ˉ▽ˉ；)

He felt an urge to kill both of them.

You two, aren't you going a little overboard with your showing off?

If you didn't know better, you'd think you were Roger Whitebeard.

Akainu remained silent, forcing himself to stare at Dick, otherwise he feared he wouldn't be able to hide his contemptuous gaze.

He had an urge to kill both of them with two punches.

"Blazing Demon, you damned bug, feel the despair!"

The tall, divine rider immediately took action.

It moved with the speed of lightning, truly with the speed of lightning, so fast that it left only afterimages.

Lightning stimulates muscles, increasing speed; sharp claws, enhanced by the lightning, can easily split mountains and shatter rocks.

So fast.

Dick was surprised.

Zhen Heng blocked the attack, unleashing a sword aura, remaining calm despite the initial shock.
