As soon as he said those words, an overwhelmingly powerful aura surged from within Alaudi. This overwhelming aura swept across the entire area, making Sengoku and Aokiji, who were standing on the icy surface, feel an intensifying cold. Some weaker individuals at this moment even found it difficult to breathe.
"This is the strongest Guardian of Vongola Family!"
Feeling the incredibly dreadful aura emanating from Alaudi, Aokiji's expression changed, and his eyes were filled with seriousness. Even within the current Marines, finding someone who could contend with it was no easy task. Perhaps only Vice Admiral Garp could stand a chance against him.
Of course, if Alaudi didn't possess such tremendous power, he wouldn't be known as the strongest Guardian.
Sengoku also looked at Alaudi with a complex expression. He really wanted to know where Vongola Primo had found these monsters. Was the intel that Akainu relayed to him back then was true? that Vongola Family, along with Millefiore Family that had appeared in the North Sea, were both powerful forces from long ago that had hidden themselves this whole time? If that were true, why did they hide? And since they had emerged, what were their goals?
Sengoku felt that this era was getting more and more troublesome compared to the last era.
"Darn it!" Sengoku also let out his Color of Supreme King Haki, ripples of pressure surged towards Alaudi. Such an overwhelming aura could even strike fear into some ordinary Vice Admirals' heart.
However, this kind of pressure had no effect on Alaudi. He enjoyed facing strong opponents. But the moment he exhibited his true strength was not when facing strong opponents; it was when he protected his Family. When his sense of justice aligned with that of Vongola Primo's, he became the truly strongest Guardian.
"Color of Supreme King Haki? As a Marine who possess Color of Supreme King Haki, I must admit that you indeed have the potential to rule the world with the Marines. However, in front of me, all of this is... meaningless!"
Alaudi said coldly with unchanged expression.
"Don't underestimate my justice!"
At this moment, Sengoku's face became grim, and then he took a step forward. Radiant golden light surrounded his massive buddha form as he rushed with lightning speed, and his fists were suddenly sent crashing forward.
"Buddha Fist!"
Majestic power erupted from Sengoku's fists, generating an intense gust of wind filled with pressure, which was directed toward Alaudi.
At the same time, Aokiji didn't hesitate either and immediately molded an Ice pheasant and sent it towards Alaudi.
Seeing the rapidly approaching Buddha Fist and Ice pheasant, Alaudi made no attempt to dodge. Instead, he used Cloud Flame, which ignited fiercely. Although Cloud Flames were extremely fragile, Alaudi's flames were exceptionally potent. After imbuing his handcuff with Color of Arms Haki and threw a punch.
There was nothing particularly fancy about this punch; it was just an ordinary punch!
"Boom!"
A deafening roar echoed as the Ice pheasant created by Aokiji was crushed shattered by the tremendous force of Alaudi's punch. Simultaneously, Sengoku's Buddha Fist clashed head-on with Alaudi's punch.
After their punch collided, both fighters instinctively distanced themselves. But compared to Alaudi's calm expression, Sengoku appeared noticeably more serious. Although he was known as a strategy genius, as a Mythical Zoan user, his close combat prowess was incredibly high. The fact that Alaudi could go toe-to-toe with someone like him suggested that Alaudi was truly a formidable opponent.
However, Alaudi already crushed Aokiji's Ice pheasant before clashing with his punch. In other words, did Alaudi's strength surpassed his?
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku. With such strength, even I can't defeat you in a short time. However, I don't plan to let this battle drag on for too long, after all..."
As Alaudi spoke, he glanced at a Marine warship. The person he truly feared was standing on the deck of that warship, but it seemed like that person had no intention of intervening.
It was Demon Spade!
Vongola Family Mist Guardian, this guy was the real headache for Alaudi.
"After all, what?" Fleet Admiral Sengoku was quite perceptive. His brows furrowed suddenly, and he asked.
"Never mind..."
Alaudi shook his head and then pulled out a purple box with Vongola Family emblem engraved on it from his coat pocket. "Let me show you something good. I just got this not long ago, and this is the first time I use it."
The Cloud Box Weapon!
It was a Box Weapon that Verde developed not too long ago, and members of Varia had delivered it to Alaudi. Until now, he hadn't used it. After all, ordinary opponents didn't deserve such a treatment. Originally, he had planned to use it during the battle against that guy named Geno. However, considering the current situation, using the Box Weapon was the best choice. After all, the current battle was not favorable for their side!
In the next moment, Alaudi infused Cloud Flames into the box, and the Box Weapon... activated!
Cloud Flames surged out of the box, and emerging alongside them was Alaudi's Box Weapon—a massive, eight-headed serpent!
