Tengu was a pure martial artist, and he was probably not inferior to Z. Nearly all of his attacks were deadly. He was also highly skilled in Six Powers, and his Haki has reached an advanced level. Any enemy that he had his eyes on would be bombarded with relentless attacks.
Even for Giotto, facing Tengu was a bad opponent. In his opinion, this guy called Tengu was an absolute battle maniac, showing no intention of defending. He wouldn't hesitate to trade blows whatsoever.
This opponent was quite troublesome for Giotto!
On top of that, the other guy named Okuri seemed to be a Devil Fruit user. Every time Giotto came into contact with him, he felt his strength diminishing while the opponent's strength suddenly increased. It was as if the opponent absorbed some of Giotto's strength during their clashes.
Giotto felt facing those two individuals was quite challenging, even in his Sun Tattoo. Giotto even felt that they were harder to deal with than Kong.
"Tsk tsk, is this all you got? You seem much weaker than before. You seem to be going all-out already against them. And now, with me joining..."
At this moment, Demon Spade had a sinister smile on his face as he held a long scythe. "Vongola Primo, abandon any notion of mercy and fight me with the intention to kill! That's your only way to win!"
Following those words, a majestic blaze of deadly flame was exuded from his ring. Unfortunately, he only possessed Varia's Mist Ring, which limited him from fully unleashing his power. However, this was sufficient. Even with just that ring, Demon Spade was more than a threat, because on top of Mist Flame, he possessed another Dying Will Flame...
Such as the Flame of Night!
In the blink of an eye, Demon Spade brandished his scythe and appears behind Giotto, delivering a fierce strike swiftly.
Giotto, who had his hands full with Tengu and Okuri, didn't have the luxury to defend against Demon Spade's attack. Without any hesitation, he aimed both hands directly at the two CP0 agents charging toward him.
"X-Burner!"
"Boom!"
Without conducting any calculation through X-Lens, Giotto blasted Sky Flame from his hands. Utilizing the propulsion force from Sky Flame, he propelled himself backward, narrowly evading Demon Spade's attack.
The sudden attack caught Tengu and Okuri off guard. If they took this attack head-on, even they would receive severe injuries.
Suddenly, Okuri placed his left hand in front of him, and a black vortex appeared on his palm, absorbing all of X-Burner! However, absorbing this attack was not so easy. Due to the Sky Flame that he absorbed, orange light radiated from his right arm. The orange light moved along his arm to his heart and then into his right hand. In the next moment, Okuri aimed his right hand at Giotto...
"I'll give you the taste of your own medicine, Vongola Primo!"
"Boom!"
A deafening sound echoed throughout the area as Okuri blasted Sky Flame from his right hand at Giotto.
Absorb energy, and then release it! This was Okuri's Devil Fruit ability. He ate Store-Store Fruit and became a Storage Human. Normally, consuming this Devil Fruit only allowed the user to store small items inside them, but he has taken this ability to the next level. However, it all added up. Without such talent and strength, he couldn't have become an elite CP0 agent.
However, using that kind of attack against Giotto proved ineffective...
As Giotto watched the approaching X-Burner that was directed at him, he was surprised but not panicked. Using X-Burner normally would consume a significant amount of Dying Will Flame. However, given the current situation, he might have to thank to his opponent.
He then made a certain hand gesture. The X-Burner hit him, but just like what happened to Okuri, X-Burner was absorbed.
Zero Point Breakthrough: Revised!
Not only did he evade Demon Spade's attack using X-Burner, he also got his Dying Will Flame back by absorbing X-Burner that his opponent threw at him.
No matter how you looked at it, he clearly came victorious in that exchange.
This scene even left Okuri momentarily stunned. There couldn't be another Store-Store Fruit user. However, what his opponent did just now felt awfully similar to his ability.
According to the intel, Vongola Primo possessed not only Dying Will Flame but also Flame-Flame Fruit.
"Release!"
At this crucial moment, he unexpectedly dispelled the Sun Tattoo state. At the same time, Sky Qilin materialized by his side.
In the upcoming battle, Sun Tattoo state wasn't the best option.
"Form Change!"
At this very moment, Sky Qilin suddenly bursts forth with green lightning, transforming into a formidable-looking spear in Giotto's hand. Lightning Flame's inherent characteristic was Hardening, making it both the strongest shield and the sharpest spear!
The Sky Qilin's current transformation clearly leaned toward the latter. The pointy aura emanating from Giotto's spear even caused Demon Spade to furrow his brow.
"It'd be safe if you don't underestimate me now. Since you've used the Flames of the Night, I have to respond accordingly. Although I'm not that skilled with this new power yet, your Flame of Night isn't the strongest."
Giotto was entirely covered by Dying Will Flame. About a third of the pores all over his body were releasing Dying Will Flame.
This was the peak of Dying Will Mode, Ultimate Dying Will Mode!"
