The sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
Even Bennedict hadn't anticipated it.
Boom!
A roaring sound erupted, and a terrifying aura formed a storm that swept across the entire battlefield.
"Fleet Admiral!"
Karp stared at the person who had appeared, utterly shocked.
Sengoku spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground.
Vice Admiral Tsuru, under the barrage of the terrifying aura, despite Sengoku and Karp joining forces to block the attack, was still injured. She slumped to the ground, her face pale, bloodstains at the corner of her mouth.
Seeing Kong, the Fleet Admiral, appear, the World Government faction, especially the officers of the Marine faction, were even more incredulous.
They had not expected Kong to appear suddenly and intend to kill Vice Admiral Tsuru.
Although Vice Admiral Tsuru had acted on her own initiative, representing their surrender, and had disgraced the Marines.
However, the purpose of all this was merely to protect the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, as they were already powerless to turn the tide.
"Hmph!"
"The World Government and Xuanwu Marines are irreconcilable enemies."
"Whether to surrender is not for you to decide."
Kong, the Fleet Admiral, stated coldly, his expression grave.
"It's not for me to decide either."
Having said that, Kong's gaze fixed intently on Bennedict, his expression incredibly resolute as he declared, "This battle, we will fight to the death."
Kong's voice resonated across the battlefield, momentarily silencing Karp and the others.
"Sister!" Momo Usagi, though shocked by Fleet Admiral Kong's appearance and actions, and even his declaration to fight to the death, was now more concerned about Vice Admiral Tsuru's injuries.
"I'm fine!" Vice Admiral Tsuru said with a stern face, waving her hand.
"Bennedict, you are not qualified to destroy our Marines," Kong said, staring at Bennedict.
"We dared to orchestrate this situation because we are confident in keeping you all here."
"The rulers of this world are still the Celestial Dragons, and the administrators of the seas are still us, not your Xuanwu Marines."
Bennedict looked at the appearing Kong. To be honest, this was the first time he had seen him.
And at this moment, according to the combat power test from the battle communicator, Kong's combat power had reached SS-class.
Not only Bennedict, but also Kenjiro, Sakata Gintoki, and others.
Such combat power was the same as Kenjiro after taking the ordinary awakening potion.
Therefore, after hearing Kong's words, Kenjiro stepped forward and requested to fight, "Fleet Admiral, Kenjiro requests to fight."
Kenjiro wanted to duel Kong and defeat the one who had made such bold claims.
In a high-stakes battle, he could easily defeat Sengoku, and similarly, he could defeat Kong.
This was Kenjiro's confidence.
"Just you?" Bennedict raised his hand, rejecting Kenjiro's proposal, and then spoke to Kong.
In his memory, Kong was not a Devil Fruit user, yet he had descended from the sky.
And his appearance seemed as if he had been waiting.
Therefore, despite Bennedict's curiosity about Kong.
"Just me."
As Kong finished speaking, he clenched his fists, his muscles instantly tensing, veins bulging, and terrifying power erupted once more.
Not only that, but a pair of miniature wings began to sprout from Kong's back.
These were a pair of white, miniature wings.
As these wings appeared, flames also began to engulf Kong's body.
"That's enough!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Bennedict's face broke into a smile.
At the same time, he was inwardly astonished.
"Truly unexpected. The Marine Fleet Admiral, raised by the World Government, is actually a cyborg."
"Cyborg?" Kong scoffed at Bennedict upon hearing this, saying, "This is my bloodline."
"It is a unique ability within my clan."
"It's just that, due to historical reasons, our clan's power has been hidden for some unknown reason."
"Until a few years ago, when my body's various attributes reached their limit and broke through, the power hidden within me also awakened."
Bennedict was somewhat shocked and then thoughtful.
"So, you are the one from above?" Bennedict pointed to the sky and said playfully.
Kong was somewhat surprised that Bennedict knew this, but he quickly recovered.
Xuanwu Marines had been collecting Poneglyphs, and they must have contained information about their identities.
"Perhaps," Kong replied after a moment of silence.
Kong himself was unsure if he truly counted as someone from above.
After all, the blood flowing in his veins was not pure.
"Hehehe."
"Regardless of your identity or the power you possess."
"You cannot stop our determination to overthrow the World Government."
"However, since you have arrived, I don't mind taking you down."
"Li Chungang, I'll leave this one to you, no problem, right?"
Whoosh!
Streaks of sword energy descended from the sky, like meteors falling in an apocalypse, easily piercing the icy continent.
Immediately, Li Chungang, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, leaped through the sword energy and landed on the ground.
"A mere body cultivator, ten swords are enough!"
Li Chungang took a swig of wine, put away his wine gourd, glanced at Kong, and said with a smile.
Li Chungang intended for everyone to hear, so he used special means to make his voice resonate throughout the battlefield.
At that moment, the World Government's formation erupted in a clamor.
How strong Kong was, and his position as Fleet Admiral, spoke volumes.
Even within the high ranks of the Marines, there was a saying that Kong alone could defeat the three Admirals.
However.
This young man who had suddenly appeared, claiming that ten swords would be enough to defeat Kong, wasn't that too arrogant?
For this sword god, who had never revealed himself, had nearly defeated Borsalino with one sword, whose sword energy had spanned a thousand meters and still terrifyingly split the sea, and whom Sengoku and Karp had already experienced, they were now silent amidst their shock.
For some reason, they had a feeling that this Li Chungang might actually be able to do it.
Upon hearing this, Bennedict's face broke into a smile.
Bennedict had absolute faith in Li Chungang's strength.
Furthermore, both of their strengths had reached SS-class.
And with the effect of his troop reinforcement stone, Li Chungang's Kenbunshoku Haki and Busoshoku Haki had reached max level, and his previously unseen Haoshoku Haki had also been activated.
As the Haoshoku Haki surged forth, Li Chungang's strength further increased.
However, unlike Li Chungang, Saitama's talent ability, unless he consumed the five-colored awakening potion, could only be strengthened through daily training.
This was also the system's final prompt after Bennedict's continuous attempts.
