Buzz!
A terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from him, spreading in all directions!
"This is..."
Zephyr was slightly taken aback.
The next instant.
Thud! Thud!
The vast war fortress, from south to north, from west to east, all the Navy Soldiers fell to the ground like wheat being reaped.
Even those few Headquarter Vice Admirals could only hold on by willpower for one or two seconds before rolling their eyes and collapsing.
The entire battlefield fell into complete silence.
"Alright."
Shano nodded, looked at the dumbfounded Zephyr, and smiled slightly:
"Now, you shouldn't have to worry about Mansherry and the others being in danger. They can do their healing, and as for you, old man, just stay here and wait for Akainu to come and apologize to you."
Gulp.
Zephyr and Aokiji swallowed at the same time.
This... is this the extent that Supreme King can reach?
Just by releasing pressure from a distance, it was terrifying enough that even the veteran Vice Admirals of Navy Headquarters couldn't withstand it and fainted directly...
Forget about Roger or Rocks, even looking at the entire history of the Chronology of One Piece, has there ever been such a precedent!!!
"Apologize?!"
The originally silent and sweating Akainu, upon hearing these two words, finally became fierce-eyed and roared ferociously:
"Stop dreaming! Shano brat, your strength is indeed daunting, but where does your confidence come from to think you can make me admit I'm wrong!"
As a Navy Grand Admiral, as a top-tier powerhouse standing atop these seas...
He can be defeated! He can even die a heroic death here!
But, to make him yield?
Absolutely impossible!
Tch!
With this shout, Akainu's arms were once again surging with magma, the aura skyrocketing, clearly ready for an all-out battle.
"Come on, brat!"
Akainu took a large step forward, eyes fierce:
"Whether it's one-on-one or the three of you together, it doesn't matter! I'll take it all! Besides this, there's no way back! I am a Navy Grand Admiral, upholding absolute justice! Even if I die in battle, I will never bow my head to you rebels who make the world unstable!"
"Stop deceiving yourself."
Shano's gaze turned cold, indifferently extending a right hand:
"If you could stand firm in front of the Heavenly Celestial Dragon, and uphold your justice, I might look at you with admiration, but in the end, you're just a dog that panders to the powerful and bullies the weak, isn't it ridiculous to act for me here?"
As he spoke, his five fingers came together to form a palm, and then...
"As for not bowing and admitting fault? Humph, since I've already said it, it's not up to you."
He forcefully pressed down!
Bang!
Black and red lightning abruptly exploded, centering on Shano, the entire sky instantly dyed dark red.
Supreme King, fully unleashed!
"This..."
Zephyr and Aokiji felt the terrifying pressure sweeping past them, instinctively exchanged a glance, and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
They were wrong.
Completely wrong!
They actually thought that earlier was the limit of Shano's Supreme King!
Compared to this commotion now, the Supreme King that instantly wiped out all the Navy Soldiers and overwhelmed the Navy Headquarters Vice Admirals earlier seemed like child's play...
The two were fundamentally incomparable!
Even they could feel it clearly, then Akainu, who was directly enduring this pressure impact on the opposite side...
Aokiji and Zephyr simultaneously looked up, facing opposite.
"Ugh, damn it..."
Akainu had every muscle tensed, veins bulging, arms firmly resting on the ground, and the deck under his feet had twisted and deformed under such pressure, groaning under strain.
Evidently, Akainu realized immediately what Shano intended to do.
This brat!
Who does he think Sakazuki is?!
Actually attempting to force him to kneel using only the pressure of the Supreme King!
"Ridiculous!"
Akainu gritted his teeth, trying with all his might to straighten his back, even as blood continuously trickled from the corners of his mouth.
But under genuine irresistible force, all efforts were in vain.
He could only watch, eyes nearly popping out, as his knees bent bit by bit under this terrifying pressure.
Crack!
With the crisp sound of bones breaking, Akainu's knees finally slammed heavily onto the ground, forming two deep pits on the deck.
"No, impossible..."
Akainu's eyes were bloodshot, he pressed his forehead against the ground with all his might, and his arms trembled while trying to support his body.
But that invisible pressure, like a burden weighing a thousand pounds, pressed his spine to the point of producing an unbearable sound.
"See, what did I say, your head can actually bow pretty well."
That familiar figure in a black cape approached step by step, using that damnable condescending gaze, speaking with that familiar, tauntingly indifferent tone.
Damn it, damn it all!
Akainu's eyes were increasingly bloodshot, the veins on his forehead bulging, and his teeth were on the verge of shattering.
Clearly within reach, at a distance where he could smash the opponent's skull with a punch, yet he couldn't even lift a finger!
"Bowing and admitting fault are done, then let's move to the next step, kowtow, Sakazuki."
That detestable calm voice echoed again.
And that pressure, at this instant, suddenly intensified.
Bang!
As if by the law of speaking, Akainu's head was violently pressed to the ground, forcibly creating a dent on the deck hardened by Armament Hardening.
Blood seeped from his forehead, trickling down his cheeks, and even caused Akainu's vision to blur for a moment.
