Chapter 166: Everything That's Attacked Must Be Saved
Kong drove his fist fiercely toward Giotto's back.
If it were someone else, they would not have been able to react in time. However, Giotto managed to do so. Giotto covered himself with his cloak that was imbued by both Dying Will Flame and Color of Arms Haki.
Giotto used his Sky Flame to harmonize Kong's Color of Arms Haki and then his Color of Arms Haki to withstand Kong's terrifying power!
"Clank!"
A blunt metal clashing sound rang out. Giotto was directly sent flying. He smashed into the ruins not far away. Despite all that, he was not injured at all. Kong's Color of Arms Haki was harmonized, and the only thing that hit him was pure physical strength.
Then again, Kong was indeed really strong. Even after his Color of Arms Haki was neutralized by Giotto's Sky Flame, he was still able to break through Giotto's defense.
Not that many people could do it.
"You still haven't used your true strength, even now. Although I can understand what you're thinking, that is definitely a stupid and wrong decision."
Instead of attacking again, Kong looked at Giotto, who emerged the ruins, and said in a deep voice, "You plan to conserve your strength to buy time so that those two earlier can escape, right? But have you forgotten? This is the Holy Land Mary Geoise, the center of the World Government. Buying time will only worsen your situation!"
Indeed, there was no doubt about this. As time went by, there would be more combatants that would join Kong here. At that time, either the elites of the Marine or the elites of the CP0 and other Admiral-level combatants.
But this was Giotto's fight. He had to ensure Aria's safety first before thinking about his escape plan!
"Stupid? When Sengoku, Garp, and the others were still young, you must have done a lot of things to cover for them. Otherwise, why would they respect you, the Fleet Admiral?" Giotto replied calmly.
Hearing this answer, Kong was silent. After a while, he sighed and said: "It is a pity. If you were a Marine, I believe you should be the best candidate to become the next Fleet Admiral."
This sentence came from the bottom of his heart. Through exchanging blows, he grew to understand what kind of man Giotto was. The charisma of a leader, the determination to risk his life for his comrades, and his perseverance not to give up.
Even if he was an enemy, he had to admit that this young man in front of him was remarkable!
But that was precisely why he had to detain this young man forever. Otherwise, he would be a great threat to the Marines and the World Government in the future!
Giotto did not say anything, but the Dying Will Flame on his body burned even more fiercely, and an aura that was even more majestic than before began to sweep in all directions at this moment.
"Has he finally decided to display his true strength? Show me that move called Sky Flare that you used to defeat Kaido!"
Kong had researched quite a bit about Vongola Primo. He naturally knew that about Sky Flare, Giotto's most powerful move. As for the extremely powerful X-Burner that severed one of Kizaru's arms, he didn't pay much attention to it.
According to Sengoku, X-Burner took quite a while to prepare before it could be used. Against a skilled combatant like himself, finding even a single second during a fight would be difficult. If Giotto actually used the X-Burner, it would only give him time to attack.
But at this time, Giotto flew into the air. One of his hands had already discharged soft Sky Flame.
Seeing this scene, Kong's expression changed significantly, and he couldn't help but shout, "You bastard, are you planning to destroy this holy land?"
He now realized that Giotto was using X-Burner instead of Sky Flare.
Giotto's target was not him, but this Mary Geoise!
It was the same approach as when Big Mom attacked Secon Island!
Kong had the option to interrupt Giotto, but there was no guarantee that he could. What if he couldn't and Mary Geoise had to suffer serious damage. If that happened, how many casualties among the World Noble would be caused by this...
He was a Fleet Admiral that served the World Government, so he did not want to take any chances now. Even if there was only one in a thousand chances that he couldn't interrupt Giotto, he didn't want to risk it.
Because of this, he only had one choice now, and that was to directly block the opponent's X-Burner and prevent it from damaging Mary Geoise!
At this point, Kong mustered his strength again. He planted his feet on the ground firmly, and the veins on his arms bulged. A terrifying power continued to rise, and the shattered stones around him shook and were eventually lifted due to his intense power.
Since he couldn't afford to take the risk of interrupting the enemy, then he would just crush Giotto's attack head-on!
He was convinced that X-Burner could bring him down!
"Operation X!" Giotto immediately issued an order as he looked down.
"Roger, Boss!"
[X-Burner launch sequence is starting!"
"Target locked, the right side's flame pressure is rising!"
Giotto knew that Kong was far stronger than the enemies he had fought before. He kept increasing Dying Will Flame's output, and the Fiamma Voltage directly exceeded four hundred thousand.
For the record, his X-Burner reached 400.000 Fiamma Voltage when he defeated Kizaru. Now, the Fiamma Voltage had already surpassed that, so it naturally would be even stronger!
He estimated that his X-Burner was around 200.000 Fiamma Voltage a few years ago, during his fight against Big Mom on Whole Cake Island. In other words, the current power was at least 50% stronger than when he fought Big Mom!
"400,000, 450,000, 500,000... Fiamma Voltage is steadily rising!"
As he maximized his power output, Giotto stretched out his other hand and aimed it at Kong, who was also charging up his power!
"Balance is achieved. Prepare to fire!"
