Chapter 429: Ryokugyu's French Salute
Arabesque Brick Fist—could fire 360-degree shockwaves. A technique balancing offense and defense.
In Fish-Man Karate, this wasn't some powerful killing move—didn't even count as a Secret Art.
But with Electric Current Push amplification, plus Brett's formidable dual-colored Haki, plus waves formed from flames, and finally—Brett converted half the remaining energy after blasting Sengoku.
Adding all this—even this originally unimpressive technique transformed into an invincible destructive move!
Kizaru and Fujitora were simultaneously engulfed.
Formidable shockwaves directly blew both away.
Even though they desperately used Haki defensively, powerful and penetrating shockwaves still continuously pierced their bodies—delivering comprehensive damage from body surface to internal depths.
Under these circumstances, Kizaru naturally didn't dare elementalize. Elementalizing within Haki-imbued shockwaves was suicide. He could only endure.
Blood instantly gushed from both Admirals' mouths.
Though considerable power was wasted, though not causing massive damage—the strategic objective was achieved.
Brett turned, then shot forward.
Currently blown backward by shockwaves, Kizaru felt his vision blur. Brett had already appeared before him.
No good! Too late to elementalize and dodge!
"Light-Speed Kick!!"
Kizaru's reaction speed was formidable. His body twisted desperately. An all-out Light-Speed Kick aimed directly at Brett's neck.
But Brett was even faster.
He directly reached out, grabbing Kizaru's leg. With a casual twist, the powerful Light-Speed Kick couldn't even touch him.
"It's over."
Brett grinned.
Kizaru's pupils contracted.
The final third of remaining energy gathered in his right fist.
"Electric Current Push—Secret Art—King—Demon Tile True Punch!"
Kizaru had nowhere to escape. His leg was caught. All he could do was desperately fire lasers.
Then Brett's fist crashed down.
BOOM.
The entire G-1 Base trembled.
Thick cracks spread in all directions.
The earth shattered. Seawater surged.
On the precarious execution platform, Deuce couldn't help exclaiming softly. "What is this?"
The entire G-1 Base was fracturing. Starting from Brett, bottomless chasms had completely divided this island into scattered areas. Seawater surged into the cracks.
"No way..."
Standing atop a large tree, Ryokugyu swallowed hard. "Borsalino-san—"
"This is really quite bad!"
Fujitora halted his backward momentum. Didn't even have time to wipe blood from his mouth. He clenched his teeth. "Is this Brett's strength that keeps the Government awake nights? Indeed can only inspire awe."
Even someone as mentally steadfast as Fujitora couldn't help feeling shaken.
Was the power gap truly this enormous?
They'd given everything—yet barely withstood this man's serious three or four strikes!
From the smoke, Brett rose.
As for Kizaru—probably fell into the abyss, currently swept away by seawater.
He looked toward Fujitora and Ryokugyu standing shoulder-to-shoulder. "Only you two left now."
Though stored energy was depleted, defeating these two wasn't impossible.
Even without using reserve energy, gaps existed in pure base attributes.
Such gaps sufficed for Brett to exploit their mobility disadvantages—defeat these two Admirals one by one.
However, at this moment—
"We surrender!"
Ryokugyu suddenly raised both hands, shouting. "Right now you're definitely stronger, Boss Brett!"
He'd actually surrendered?!
Brett raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, Aramaki-san?"
Fujitora looked utterly bewildered. "Do you know what you're saying?"
"Well, I'd also like to battle powerful enemies to the end—"
Ryokugyu shrugged helplessly. Raised hands didn't lower. He said helplessly. "But too strong! This Brett-san is simply too strong!"
"Four people ganged up on him—instead two were defeated. Just the two of us going now would only be throwing our lives away. No chance of winning."
He simply looked at Brett and shouted. "Boss Brett—take those pirates however you like! Anyway, let's call it here today, okay?"
Brett's lips curved.
So this guy really was interesting.
"A Navy Admiral choosing to submit—never imagined such a scenario."
Brett chuckled lightly. "Then as you wish."
He'd already shot toward the execution platform like lightning.
"Sorry, Aramaki-san—I cannot agree with your decision!"
Fujitora took a deep breath. Even alone, he'd fight the enemy to the last moment.
However, at this moment, Ryokugyu pressed his shoulder—stopping his movement. This man said:
"Rather than futile resistance, better think about rescuing the island's soldiers."
Fujitora froze slightly.
This base had previously assembled massive Navy forces. But all had fainted under Brett's Conqueror's Haki blast.
After this round of fierce battle—how many still survived?
Fujitora quickly released his Observation Haki.
"Moreover—"
Ryokugyu lowered his voice. "If we don't quickly fish out Borsalino-san, he'll really drown."
Fujitora fell silent.
In just these few exchanges, Brett had already reached the execution platform. He released flame clouds, wrapping the entire platform—carrying the Spade Pirates skyward.
"Then hold tight."
Brett used clouds to secure Ace and companions. Then with lightning leaping, he'd already shot away.
Naturally Ace's group was also dragged by clouds—keeping pace with Brett's flight.
"Is that it?"
Skull still found this hard to believe. He said dazedly.
"Yeah. It's over."
After distancing from that Navy base, Brett also landed on the execution platform. He nodded lightly, stretched lazily, and said leisurely. "Now you can continue your adventure freely."
After brief silence, what greeted Brett were eyes filled with excitement and admiration.
"Absolutely incredible, Brett-san!"
Deuce shouted excitedly. "Those were Marine Headquarters Admirals and Fleet Admiral! To win with such overwhelming advantage—simply too powerful!"
"Right!"
Skull also nodded repeatedly. "Even if Whitebeard returned to his prime, even if the Pirate King resurrected—they couldn't possibly possess Brett-san's strength!!"
"Brett-san—you're actually this world's strongest man, right?!"
The fanatical pirate fan shouted this.
Strongest?
Flames began burning in Ace's eyes. He stared at Brett intensely.
Was Brett even stronger than that man?
Anyway, this matter had concluded.
