"Ho ho ho ho ho!"
The Sage laughed out loud, grabbing the two men and slamming them to the ground forcefully. Haki erupted from his fingers like black flames, penetrating their heads, and with the descent to the ground, it exploded with a bang.
The floor at the entrance was smashed into two depressions, and as debris scattered in all directions, at that moment, two figures broke free from the Sage's arms and quickly retreated backward.
The Sage stood up, nodded and said, "Not a bad reaction."
The two Vice Admirals in front of him had blood all over their heads, as if squeezed out from within. Blood was flowing from their eyes, mouths, and noses, and they were gravely staring at the Sage.
His attack, obviously, wasn't easy to block.
Although in the final moment, the Sage sensed their use of Haki to resist, he'd already hit... not something easily offset.
"Calamity! I've long heard you're lawless, wherever you go, there's sure to be destruction!"
The Red King roared, "This is an island directly under the World Government, you're just a pirate wanting to provoke the World Government?"
The Sage smirked sinisterly, "You said I'm a pirate, and as a pirate, whatever I want to do..."
Whoosh!
"I will do!"
His figure vanished again, instantly appearing before the Red King, his fist like flowing black fire striking his face.
Bam!
The Red King instinctively extended his mechanical fist, bursting with steam, his gauntlet covered in Haki, blocking the Sage's punch, but the immense force pushed him back several steps.
The Gallows Vice Admiral seized the moment, his hands reaching to brace the blade atop his head, but at that moment, a shadow suddenly darted over.
Bang!
The Sage kicked out like a sword, with flowing Haki, thrusting through his chest.
The Gallows Vice Admiral's body shuddered, he hunched over, and spat out a large mass of blood.
"You're somewhat weak, relying on the blade atop your head to attack? Do you think you're the Light Giant?"
The Sage withdrew his foot, swinging it to kick him flying, his kick's momentum unyielding, whipping across the Red King's body like a lash.
"As for you... how many hits can you withstand?!"
Bam!
The Red King's left arm manifested Haki, blocking the Sage's kick, the immense force making him grit his teeth, involuntarily moving sideways, but before he completely moved out of the way, the Sage's fist was already upon him.
The special steel forged mechanical gauntlet could withstand that Haki-filled punch, but he only had one gauntlet, his other parts couldn't block the Sage's attacks. Each time he was hit, the Red King had to move with the force, like a sandbag constantly being struck, unable to retaliate.
What's with this guy's Haki...
Four hundred million?!
Impossible!
Continuing like this, his own Haki would be completely drained!
"You... you..."
The Red King just blocked an attack, tilting his head to speak, only to see a fist swiftly bypass his mechanical gauntlet and strike his long neck.
Bam!
With just one punch, the Red King's neck was smashed out with a large hole, completely severed, his head and body falling apart onto the ground.
"Six punches."
The Sage shook his hand, calmly saying, "As a Vice Admiral... not bad."
Among the Headquarter Vice Admirals, whose gap is wider than that between humans and dogs, these two Vice Admirals were still alright but not elite, not the top tier.
Not like Garp, just normal Elite Vice Admirals.
The Sage hadn't seen other Elite Vice Admirals, but if Vice Admirals were only at this level, then on the seas... it wouldn't be their turn to rule.
