Chapter 619: Sakazuki Isn't Too Optimistic!
Tatsumi, born with a killer's Talent, was never one to talk much during Combat.
As the Imperial Arm's Ability took effect on his Body, he activated 'Water Dragon Sword' without hesitation.
[Buzz——————]
As the 'Eyeball' on the sword hilt became engorged and red, his Body also rapidly enhanced, starting from the Arm holding the sword.
Soon.
Tatsumi felt his muscles subtly swelling. The Feeling of almost infinite Strength constantly erupting from within him made him confident he could defeat Mima Amatori within three minutes.
Or rather.
He had to do this!
[Swish!]
The next second, Tatsumi transformed into an incomparably fast Black Line. In the instant before Mima Amatori could even react, he had already flown behind him.
"Such Speed..."
Mima Amatori touched his Throat, which had somehow been stained with a hint of black, with lingering fear.
Tatsumi's Sword had just grazed this Position.
At that moment, he didn't have Time to use Element Transformation to evade, nor did he dare to gamble his life on 'Iron Body'.
So, at the critical moment, he could only use Observation Haki to perceive the attacked Position and then protect it with Armament Haki Hardening.
As expected.
Although Tatsumi's Speed had become very fast and his Strength had increased significantly.
However, the Mass of his Armament Haki and the Technique limited to Coating were still insufficient to break through Mima Amatori's Armament Haki Hardening.
The quality of Armament Haki's Mass depends on the firmness of a person's inner Will.
Simply making the Body stronger would at most increase the total amount of Haki, but it wouldn't have much impact on its Mass.
And the Victory or Defeat in a Duel between Haki often depends on the Mass of Haki, not the total amount.
The Advantage in total Haki amount only becomes prominent when both sides are evenly matched and require a long Combat.
Garp's mountain-punching Cultivation back then was essentially tempering his inner Will through repeated Boxing.
At the same time, he self-taught the Technique of 'Internal Haki Destruction' during this process.
As for Physical Ability and Fist Force, he had long reached the peak.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to team up with Roger to defeat Rocks back then.
As for Tatsumi's inner Will.
The current him is indeed far inferior to his later self in the 'Canon'.
After all, he hasn't experienced the various hardships in the 'Canon', nor the threat of 'Demon Armor Transformation' gradually eroding his Body and Will.
For the next three minutes.
Mima Amatori and Tatsumi unleashed their respective Strengths to the fullest.
Like a purple Poisonous Snake and a dancing blood-colored bat, they tangled together amidst the dense Blade Light and Sword Shadow.
The constantly flashing bright light and shadow stung the Eyes of the Imperial Army Warriors outside the City Gate, and the Clanging Sound was incessant.
The Ground inside and the surrounding Houses and Buildings also cracked one after another under the ravages of various Vacuum Blades.
The two fought from the Ground to the Rooftop, then from the broken Rooftop to the Air, and finally from the Air back to the Ground. Their sharp Killing Intent transformed into a Gale sweeping across the entire scene.
"Hahahaha, how could you possibly defeat me!"
After three minutes passed, Mima Amatori let out a triumphant laugh.
Under the watchful Eyes of the crowd, he grabbed the already weak and powerless Tatsumi and transformed into a large mass of purple Gas, soaring straight into the sky.
It looked like Demons leaving contentedly, transforming into a demonic wind.
The Imperial Army below looked at each other, but no one dared to shoot randomly to stop him, fearing they might injure their own Imperial Guard Lord.
Soon.
The Emperor, Kurome, Najenda, and others inside the Imperial Palace all received the News that Tatsumi had been Captured Alive and taken away.
This added a bit of gloom to the already heavy Atmosphere of The Empire.
"It seems we must activate the Supreme Imperial Arm!"
The Emperor looked at the golden sky outside the window and finally made a Decision in his Heart.
The World Government is clearly not an Opponent against whom he can afford to keep his Trump Card unused.
"Why did you bring him back?"
On the Rooftop of a civilian house, Yasopp looked speechlessly at the Coma-stricken Tatsumi in Mima Amatori's hands.
The latter, with a handsome Smile, replied, "This person claims to be some Imperial Guard. He should know quite a few Matters, and he can use Armament Haki and Observation Haki."
"What?!"
Yasopp was greatly surprised.
They had been on the road heading towards the Imperial Capital for the past few days, so they hadn't yet contacted the Command Center in their Homeland.
Otherwise, through the Intelligence Bullet had just sent back a few days ago, they should have been able to learn about this Matter.
"Alright, then he should indeed be brought back. But our Mission also needs to be completed. How is your Investigation going?"
Mima Amatori turned his head to look in the Direction of 'Du Gate'.
"It's very interesting. In that small Fortress, there's a Light Gate similar to the Star Gate. Inside the Light Gate is a strange, gray Space. Not only can you not see anything clearly, but even the spread of Observation Haki is strongly affected."
Yasopp frowned.
"Another Space? This is tricky now. According to our previous Detection, there are seven more such small Fortresses. Besides that, the entire Imperial Capital Central Area is in a completely insubstantial Phantom State."
"Indeed, finding the correct Entrance/Exit among eight Space Gates is no ordinary Difficulty. And who knows if the opponent can change the Position of the 'correct Gate' at any Time?"
Mima Amatori also stated his thoughts.
Then, lifting Tatsumi in his hand, he smiled and said, "So I think this Imperial Guard named Tatsumi is key. He probably came out from inside!"
A few days later.
Just as Douglas Bullet was leading two Main Combat Divisions and tens of thousands of Auxiliary Legions, setting up camp near the broken Mount Famu and preparing to rest for a period of Time.
North.
At the Star Gate Base located in the Snow Mountain Valley, Sakazuki received two important pieces of News.
One was that the Marine Fleet currently engaged in Combat with the Shenhe Island Nation on The Seas to the east was suddenly attacked by a massive Slash with enough Power to cleave the Sea Surface.
This resulted in three Battleships and five Cruisers being heavily damaged and sunk, with thousands of Troops killed or injured.
At the same Time.
Two Rear Admirals attempting to Intercept the massive Slash were severely injured.
If Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan hadn't quickly stepped in to Intercept, the World Government's Marine Fleet would have suffered even greater Combat Loss.
This also confirmed that the person who unleashed this massive Blade Light must be a being whose Sword Dao level has reached that of a Great Swordsman!
Furthermore, according to the feedback from Onigumo, who has also reached the 'Great Swordsman' level.
Judging solely from the Aura displayed by the opponent's Blade Light, it was slightly higher than his own Swordsmanship Skill, indicating that the opponent is still a Strong Hand among Great Swordsmen.
As for the specific overall Combat Power, it is still unclear because the opponent has not yet appeared.
Because true Strength or weakness is never determined by the Power of a single Attack.
Rather, it is the Overall Strength, comprehensive Means, and actual State and Circumstances of both sides.
Moreover, so-called Strength is not limited to just Sword Dao!
Another important piece of News is that The Empire has sent a Diplomatic Team of over a hundred people. They say they want to have a Negotiation with the World Government.
Regarding this, Sakazuki isn't too optimistic. Given the World Government's Haki Personality, how could they possibly be willing to negotiate with the weak?
From all the Intelligence gathered so far.
Although the various Power Systems in this Imperial Arms World are very similar to their own.
But the Upper Limit doesn't seem to be very high, barely reaching the Vice Admiral level.
As for the Five Paths Revolving Furnace and those Imperial Arms.
Hmm... One can only say they are quite interesting, a good 'World Specialty'. It's believed they will belong to the World Government before long.
But as an Admiral.
He does have the Obligations to transmit the News back to the Homeland and then let the Politicians make the Decision.
