With two continuous, neither light nor heavy pats, Figarland's body instantly straightened, coming to attention.
At the same time, a slightly playful voice came from behind.
"Compared to me, you seem to need glasses more, kid."
Kenji smiled and spoke, looking down at the Commander of the God's Knights in front of him.
Figarland's body was somewhat stiff, but he dared not turn around. He stamped his feet, and his figure flashed again, then forcibly twisted his body in mid-air.
Simultaneously, a thick Haki surged from his entire body, and a strong aura impacted the entire venue, filling the air within the hall with a domineering presence.
Sommers, who was toying with Loki, sensed the aura and instinctively turned his head to look, just in time to see Figarland's entire body erupting in a dark red Haki, like a volcano itself already beginning to erupt.
"Oh dear! The Commander is angry! This isn't going to be easy!"
Sommers scratched his head, but the corner of his lips curled into a cold sneer, sweeping a gaze over Kenji as if watching a good show.
"To be able to anger the Commander, this Marine is indeed a talent."
In his eyes, Kenji was already a dead man, and his expressionless face seemed to bear the mark of death.
Soon, Sommers withdrew his gaze and continued to toy with Loki in front of him, waiting for the battle on Figarland's side to end.
At this moment, Figarland was in mid-air, his entire body steaming with Haki like a light mist.
He gripped his sword with both hands, continuously stepping on the air, his figure flashing in a refractive trajectory.
As he moved, Conqueror's Haki flickered like electricity, with dense Haki traces following close behind.
Judging solely by appearances, the immense power was astonishing.
But Kenji didn't even look at Figarland. He stood still, first assessing the situation of the other personnel in the great hall.
He saw that apart from those who could still stand, all the others had fallen.
In fact, only Kenji, Loki, and two other God's Knights still had combat strength and were standing. Harald was heavily injured at this point, barely counting as half.
As for the other Temple Guards, they were too heavily injured to get up.
"Hmm, these giants..." A thoughtful look appeared in Kenji's eyes.
The next moment, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, and a dark red Haki flashed across his body.
Almost simultaneously, Figarland's sharp sword struck down from behind.
The sword, wreathed in Conqueror's Haki, tore through space, and terrifying cracks rapidly spread towards Kenji's head.
However, when Kenji's entire body erupted in Conqueror's Haki, the slash suddenly stagnated, unable to advance even an inch further.
It was as if invisible forces were colliding in the air, and thick Haki traces diffused from the invisible point of impact.
Figarland's face showed horror, and he frowned, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.
He seemed to be locked in a stalemate, still refusing to retreat, continuously exerting force with both arms, and the Haki within his body surged like a tidal wave.
For a moment, Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, densely surging Haki traces, and various colors of light flickered, dazzling the eyes.
"Unable to cut through... Such power is comparable to those three pirates..." Figarland narrowed his eyes, an incredulous look in his expression.
"He's clearly an unknown, he shouldn't possess such powerful strength."
"Who exactly is this guy?"
At this moment, Figarland began to doubt Kenji's identity, even speculating whether some strong individual had changed their face and disguised themselves as an Admiral.
After all, Figarland had seen Kenji's Marine record and knew that he had been 'unknown' for fifty years in the Marine. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
Just as he was feeling surprised and uncertain, Kenji suddenly spoke in a faint voice, seemingly a bit impatient, "Your strength is a bit weaker than I expected."
As he spoke, Kenji slowly turned around under Figarland's gaze.
This scene caused the Commander of the God's Knights to involuntarily shrink his pupils.
Such casual movement during an intense confrontation had exceeded Figarland's comprehension.
Can you imagine the scene where Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki-infused weapon is fully swung, but Roger parries it with one hand while casually greeting Whitebeard with the other?
Clearly, that would only happen if the strength gap between the two sides was significant.
To put it bluntly, it's like a Lv 100 fighting a Lv 1, play however you want!
Kenji's actions at this moment clearly showed disdain for his opponent, the kind that didn't even bother to hide it.
However, Figarland remained very restrained and did not show an angry expression of being humiliated.
After all, at this moment, he needed to consider which way to be defeated.
"Your strength can't compare to Roger and Whitebeard..."
At this moment, Kenji, having turned around, faced Figarland directly and spoke again, thoughtfully.
"No wonder God Valley ended so hastily..."
Six years ago, during the God Valley Battle, Rocks died, but the other giants of the Rocks Pirates safely left the battlefield.
In that war, the Marine had its top combat forces dispatched, and the World Government had the God's Knights and the Five Elders deployed.
Such a seemingly powerful lineup, yet the final result was only the killing of Rocks, which already spoke volumes.
"Was my expectation of you too high?" Kenji murmured to himself, nodding slightly.
"Indeed, if the so-called God's Knights, and those old Five Elders tuly possessed top-tier combat power, there would be no room for those Legendary Pirates to survive."
At this moment, Kenji recalled a phrase he once liked very much: Were they unwilling? No, they were unable!
"Since that's the case..."
Kenji put away his thoughts, looked up at Figarland behind the endless Haki traces, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Figarland seemed to sense that something was wrong and quickly gave up the confrontation, rapidly retracting his sword and retreating.
His figure flashed, instantly moving away from the center of the battlefield.
However, just as he stopped, Kenji was already waiting beside him.
Under his Future Vision, all of Figarland's actions could not escape his eyes.
The next moment, Figarland suddenly felt a powerful Conqueror's Haki violently rush towards him.
Only then did he discover Kenji's presence, and became greatly alarmed, his sword swing slowing by a beat.
By a hair's breadth, the Conqueror's Haki-infused sword failed to block the Conqueror's Haki.
Figarland was sent flying by a huge force, his entire body wreathed in Haki, but it belonged to Kenji.
His body flew backward, violently crashing into a distant rock wall before finally stopping.
The immense force caused the entire great hall to tremble slightly.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted Sommers's attention from another battlefield.
"Whoa, such a big commotion? It seems the Commander is very angry this time..."
