According to the intel, Oguro only had one Admiral level subordinate, someone called Soi Fon.
But that Soi Fon was still hovering in the sky without even making a move.
Two Admiral level fighters.
Oguro actually had such a terrifying lineup under him.
Akainu found himself feeling a bit lucky he was the one sent here.
If Magellan alone had to face this, Impel Down really might have fallen.
Thinking of that, the killing intent in Akainu's eyes grew even sharper.
The stronger Oguro's group was, the greater the threat they posed to the Marines and the World Government.
As a Marine Admiral, destroying this group completely was naturally his duty.
"Venom Dragon!"
From a distance, Magellan suddenly attacked, trying to cooperate with Akainu and pincer their enemies from both sides.
But just as he struck, a petite figure flashed in front of him.
A blade as swift as lightning slashed toward Magellan's neck.
"Shameless coward. Ganging up on others? Do you think we have no one?"
Magellan was forced to abandon the Venom Dragon and lifted the horn like weapons on his head to block.
Clang!
Soi Fon was small in size, but not weak at all. Her strike forced Magellan back several steps.
But as he retreated, Magellan exhaled toward her.
As a Venom-Venom Fruit user, even his breath carried poison.
Fighting him in close combat was extremely dangerous. One slip and you would be poisoned.
Most people might overlook this small movement, but Soi Fon had already mastered Observation Haki and sensed everything clearly.
She snorted and released a surge of reiatsu that burst out like a shockwave, scattering the poisonous breath.
"You dare fight us up close when you can't even use elementalization?"
A dangerous smile appeared on Soi Fon's face, and Magellan's instincts roared in warning.
The next moment, reiatsu just as overwhelming as Yoruichi's erupted from Soi Fon's body.
She activated Shunko.
Whoosh!
Her figure vanished instantly.
She reappeared beside Magellan in the blink of an eye, whipping her right hand forward.
A terrifying burst of reiatsu mixed with Kidō swept out like a raging storm.
Buildings and stone shattered into dust along its path, scattering everywhere.
The ground was flattened instantly.
"Damn!"
Magellan was forced to defend with everything he had, gathering massive amounts of poison across his body and forming a thick armor.
But even that fortress like armor cracked quickly under Soi Fon's relentless assault.
Magellan had to keep releasing more poison just to repair it.
He barely managed to endure the onslaught, but his body was now covered in countless small wounds, looking horrifying.
Seeing Soi Fon's and Yoruichi's identical abilities left both Magellan and Akainu stunned.
Akainu yelled internally, "Impossible! Two Devil Fruits with the same ability cannot exist in this world!"
All this time, both the World Government and the Marines assumed Oguro's group were Devil Fruit users.
But what was happening now completely overturned that assumption.
"This kind of power… could it be something like Rokushiki? Something you can learn through training?"
Akainu's mind shook.
If so, this would reshape the entire balance of the world.
A completely new power training system, one not inferior to Haki.
For the Marines, the last thing they wanted was even more dangerous individuals on the seas.
"I will make sure none of you leave this place alive!" Akainu made his decision.
"Canine Red Lotus!"
Akainu's right arm transformed into a massive dog head made of molten magma that snapped toward Yoruichi.
It wasn't as fast as Dog Blaze, but it could track its target.
In terms of speed, even two Akainus couldn't compare to half of Yoruichi.
Yoruichi raised her hand and fired a bolt of lightning, blasting half of the magma dog's face apart.
But driven by Akainu's will, the magma reconstructed instantly and lunged at her again.
"Heh… truly persistent. Too bad my heart already belongs to someone."
Even mid battle, Yoruichi still found time to tease him.
Akainu's face darkened.
Yoruichi clapped her hands together, and a dazzling sphere of lightning gathered in her palms.
A piercing shriek erupted, like the cries of a thousand beasts.
A giant spear of lightning formed in her hands.
"Raimei… Divine Judgment!"
The lightning spear shot forth.
At that moment, thunder swallowed the world. It felt like this was the only light that existed.
The Canine Red Lotus was instantly pierced through, and the lightning spear didn't slow down at all as it flew directly at Akainu.
This time, Observation Haki stabbed at Akainu's mind like needles.
He didn't dare hesitate. With a Soru, he moved dozens of meters sideways.
But speed wasn't Akainu's strength.
Yoruichi's Divine Judgment still hit his shoulder at the last second.
When Akainu steadied himself again, his entire right arm was gone.
Only his quick elementalization prevented it from being lost permanently.
Magma gushed from the stump and slowly reformed into an arm.
But everyone could see it.
Akainu's face was pale, his breathing weak. He was clearly injured by that blow.
He stared at Yoruichi with deep apprehension.
He couldn't understand. She clearly didn't have Armament Haki, the power needed to hit the true body of a Logia user. So why could she injure him?
And based on his sensation, this wasn't just physical damage. It cut deeper.
Even his consciousness felt faint.
Oguro saw everything clearly.
Regarding reiatsu and Kidō.
Having awakened Conqueror's Haki, Oguro was certain.
The way reiatsu and Kidō wrapped around the body was very similar to Conqueror's Haki infusion.
But in many ways, it was superior.
If Conqueror's infusion was considered one of the strongest powers in the One Piece world…
Then properly developing reiatsu and Kidō could not only suppress Logia users, but kill them outright.
It was just that, for anyone below Captain class Shinigami, the effect wasn't as immediate as Haki.
"Magellan, even if it costs our lives, we cannot let them leave!"
Akainu roared, his entire body turning fully elemental.
He threw countless magma fists with lightning speed.
Akainu's strongest attack. A single barrage could destroy an island.
If this weren't Impel Down, the entire structure would've collapsed already.
"Poison Giant Soldier… Judgment of Hell!"
Magellan responded on the other side. A colossal skeletal poison giant erupted from his body, towering like a mountain over Soi Fon.
Unlike his earlier purple poison, this one glowed a bright blood red.
Anything it touched would spread the poison like an infection, eating through everything.
A human only needed to touch a tiny bit to die slowly and painfully.
Even Magellan rarely dared to use this technique.
