Chapter 263

Only when the meteorite was less than ten meters away from him did Vergo raise the Ghost Bamboo in his hand and strike upward with fierce force.

The Ghost Bamboo turned completely black, covered in advanced Armament Haki.

Boom!

The Ghost Bamboo smashed into the meteorite.

In an instant, the meteorite was destroyed from within by an overwhelmingly powerful force.

Bang!

The entire meteorite exploded violently, and the shattered stones clanged against the surrounding Sea Prism Stone walls.

Fujitora was startled.

He never expected Vergo to so easily break his meteorite.

"Truly formidable Armament Haki and ferocious strength!"

Fujitora sighed.

Vergo then stomped the ground fiercely with both feet.

His body shot out like a cannonball, attacking Fujitora.

Fujitora dared not be negligent.

He raised his blade to block.

Vergo's speed was extremely fast, darting left and right, leaving trails of afterimages in the air.

This was nothing strange.

Because Vergo himself was a physical combat powerhouse, his mastery of the Six Powers was no weaker than CP0.

He had also consumed Devil-class Monster Cells and Super Divine Water, plus the Zoan-type Mythical Zoan Fruit, the Bat Fruit.

His physical attributes in every aspect had been greatly enhanced.

In terms of physical combat alone, he was enough to rival the leader of CP0.

However, although his speed was fast, Fujitora, who was extremely proficient in Observation Haki, could block them one by one in an orderly manner.

Even.

Fujitora seized a gap between Vergo's attacks and activated his Gravity Fruit ability.

"Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger!"

Terrifying Horizontal Gravity swept over.

The surrounding Sea Prism Stone walls were all compressed into a huge indentation.

Vergo did not expect Fujitora to suddenly unleash such a powerful technique.

His figure swayed slightly a few times.

After the surprise, a strange curve suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Gravity? Hehe, he had already gotten used to it in the Gravity Training Room created for him by my lord Luo Xing!

He could completely withstand such gravity!

Vergo quickly stabilized his figure, advancing instead of retreating,

bracing against Fujitora's Horizontal Gravity, and in an instant, reached Fujitora's side with a speed that was shocking to behold.

Fujitora was greatly alarmed in his heart, his face changing drastically:

"Impossible, is My Old Self's Gravity ineffective against him?!"

Whoosh!

At the moment Fujitora could not believe his eyes, Vergo had already reached behind him, and the sharp claws granted by his Vampire form swiped down.

Splat!

Blood splattered everywhere.

A bloody claw mark appeared on Fujitora's back.

The monster-level Fujitora was injured!

225, The New Three Admirals: Huang Yuan, Fujitora, Vergo! Green Bull voluntarily withdraws!

A claw mark was scratched on Fujitora's back, and he was injured.

Such a minor wound, for a powerhouse at Fujitora's level,

should have been nothing serious, causing absolutely no effect.

But,

when Fujitora sensed the wound on his back, his own stamina suddenly began to flow away rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, nearly one-fifth had been lost!

Fujitora was utterly shocked.

Even more shocked than when Vergo forcibly resisted his Horizontal Gravity!

"Is this the ability of the Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire form?"

"Truly terrifying!"

In an instant, Fujitora figured out the reason for his stamina loss.

It must be the ability of the opponent's Vampire Fruit!

Vergo's cold voice said:

"Correct. Anyone I scratch will have their stamina rapidly drain. This drained stamina will then be returned to nourish myself."

The Vampire form itself is a powerful Mythical Zoan Fruit, possessing various miraculous abilities.

And under the enhancement of Monster Cells and Super Divine Water, Vergo's Vampire ability is far more sinister than the Red Count in the original story.

Fujitora slowly turned around, his face as Solemn as it could possibly be.

Not only can it drain the enemy's stamina, but it can also nourish oneself in return.

Does this not mean that Vergo will grow stronger with every fight, while the enemy grows weaker?

How, then, can one fight?

The countless Marines watching, including Sengoku and Tsuru, all drew in a sharp breath of cold air at that moment.

They were shocked and amazed by Vergo's terrifying ability.

Sengoku said:

"Vergo himself already possesses the bearing of an Admiral."

"Now that he has consumed such a powerful Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Vampire Fruit, his strength has become even more formidable."

"Even if I were to face him, I would have little certainty of victory."

Upon hearing these words, the entire hall was filled with even greater shock and awe.

Could it be that Sengoku, my lord, the former Fleet Admiral of the Marines who once contended with the Pirate King Luo Jie and the strongest man Bai Huzi, admits he would find it difficult to defeat Vergo?

This is truly shocking and unconventional!

The current Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Akainu, was extremely pleased and felt surprised by Vergo's strength.

Green Bull, standing beside him, said:

"Mama, so he can actually absorb people's stamina? That is somewhat similar to my own ability!"

"Mr. Sakazuki, since Senior Vergo was able to injure Brother Fujitora, it proves he possesses the strength of an Admiral. You will surely support him in becoming a Marine Admiral, won't you?"

After all, Vergo is a Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters and the commander of the G-5 Branch.

In terms of seniority, he far surpasses Green Bull and Fujitora, who have only just joined.

As long as Vergo's strength is on par with Green Bull and Fujitora.

Then, without a doubt, Akainu, along with Sengoku and other high-ranking Marines, will definitely support Vergo's rise to the position of Admiral.

Akainu did not hide his thoughts and stated quite straightforwardly:

"Correct, Vergo must occupy one of the Admiral positions."

After understanding Vergo's strength, Akainu had already placed Vergo in the position of a Marine Admiral.

Green Bull shrugged and said:

"Then, between me and Brother Fujitora, who should step down?"

"Or should we say, let me and Brother Fujitora fight again, with the victor becoming an Admiral?"

There are only three positions for Marine Admirals.

The veteran Admiral Huang Yuan occupies one, and now Vergo occupies another, leaving only the last one remaining.

This means that between Green Bull and Fujitora, only one can rise to the position.

Akainu suddenly turned toward Green Bull and said seriously and solemnly:
