Fall and die in pain?
Alaudi sure was quite surprised since his opponent was so arrogant. Usually, it was he who would say those words, but it was the other way around this time.
"I admit that you are very strong, but why do you think I am here?" Alaudi intimidatingly said as he let out some killing intent.
"I can't think of any other reason for a traitor like you, who lay low most of the time to come back to Mary Geoise just to die other than saving your leader!"
Although Jenuo knew that Alaudi had extraordinary strength, he was confident in his own strength. It was a kind of blind confidence. He believed that aside from the Five Elders, to whom he was loyal, no one in the world was capable of defeating him, including Whitebeard, who was hailed as the "strongest" man in the sea.
Had it not for his duty as a CP0 to protect the Celestial Dragon, he thought that he could even prevent One Piece from being discovered!
It was this kind of confidence that gave him that condescending attitude no matter who he faced!
Although his confidence was indeed a bit too much, he did have enough strength to back it off.
"Primo doesn't need my help. Even without me stopping you here, my boss will be fine."
Alaudi casually taunted Jenuo. He then added, "the reason why I am here now is that I acknowledge your strength. And defeating a strong person like you is a good enough reason for me to come here."
He was eager to challenge a strong person. If he could save his colleague while he was at it, then why not?
Giotto might have mixed feelings if he knew that was Alaudi's reason for helping him.
Jenuo's figure suddenly disappeared. In less than a blink of an eye, he reappeared behind Alaudi.
Jenuo elbowed Alaudi after covering his elbow in Color of Arms Haki. The power contained in this blow was difficult for even a Vice-Admiral to resist!
Alaudi didn't even bat an eye. He simply raised his right hand...
"Bang!"
Shockwaves spread out in all directions. Jenuo's elbow hit Alaudi's palm. However, at this moment, he frowned slightly under the mask. Even if he put more power into his blow, it was as if Alaudi's hand completely blocked his attack.
After the attack, Jenuo immediately distanced himself from Alaudi. He stared at him and said in a deep voice, "Excellent strength and reaction speed. I can see why Al and the others die at your hands. Being able to block my attack just now goes to show that you're stronger than them."
"But from the looks of it, you're only superior in terms of reaction speed. Judging from the level of power you just demonstrated, Al should not be weaker than you. That guy is also an Ancient Zoan user."
Alaudi said with a faint smile, "If that's all you got, then you may see them soon. After all, it doesn't pose a threat to me at all."
"Is that so? It seems that I have been underestimated. However, I will not show mercy next. I hope that your body is as spunky as your mouth. Don't die too fast, Alaudi!"
As he spoke, cold air condensed on his hands. The surrounding temperature began to drop because of this cold air. As the strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons, he was also Devil Fruit user, and his ability was quite powerful.
"Extreme Cold Shigan!"
Jenuo thrust his finger towards Alaudi like a sharp sword. The moisture in the air was frozen at this moment.
Alaudi was not stupid enough to take such an attack without preparation. Color of Arms Haki and Cloud Flame instantly covered his handcuffs. He used it like brass knuckles. Then, he threw a punch that set off a gust of wind, hitting Jenuo's Extreme Cold Shigan.
"Boom!"
A loud sound echoed, and the strong wind blew away everything in the surrounding. Even Alaudi himself felt an extreme chill. Even if he did not hit Jenuo's Shigan directly, he felt that the blood in his body had stopped circulating. A thin layer of ice was also seen forming on his handcuffs.
Hadn't Alaudi himself been a skilled fighter, his fist would have been frozen.
The ability of this CP0 agent in front of him was similar to the person called Aokiji, but this was even colder than Aokiji!
When Alaudi saw that the chill showed signs of trying to creep into his body, he didn't hesitate to release more Haki. He then jumped back, creating a distance between him and Jenuo.
"Oh, right, you don't know yet, huh? Then again, among your group, only Al knows about my ability. After all, someone like you was not worthy of interacting with people like me back then."
He sneered below the mask and then added, "I ate a Paramecia Devil Fruit called Cold-Cold Fruit. Dropping the temperature to below zero degree celsius is very simple for me. You may have fought a Vice-admiral who eats Ice-Ice Fruit, but he's nothing compared to me."
This might be an exaggeration. After all, Aokiji was a future Admiral, and that alone spoke volumes about his strength.
But it was clear that Jenuo's Cold-Cold Fruit was very powerful!
"That's more like it! Otherwise, it won't be interesting!"
Alaudi's words made Jenuo's expression change. The ring on Alaudi's hand suddenly glowed brighter. "If that wasn't the case, then you can't even make me get serious!"
