When time went back, the bodies of Saint Rosward and his people immediately fell to the ground.
The only survivor who was conscious was David, a servant who had been trained by the Rosward family.
"Ugh! How is that possible?" David knelt down with difficulty while looking at Vermillion with a horrified gaze. There was no trace of blood at all, only a tiny hole that appeared on his chest.
David clearly knew that something had pierced his heart, but he did not know when the enemy had started attacking them. Not even a second had passed!
In his confusion, David's consciousness slowly began to fade.
"This ability is very satisfying." Vermillion nodded in satisfaction after finishing trying out Dio's ability.
Looking towards the bushes, Vermillion said. "Do you still want to hide? Show yourself."
Moments later, a man with a hideous scar on his face came out. The man walked out, holding his sword.
'Fujitora the Gravity user? It seems he hasn't joined the Marines yet.' Looking at his interlocutor, Vermillion thought to himself.
"Are you planning to avenge them?" Looking at Fujitora, who had prepared with his sword, Vermillion asked while crossing his arms.
"No, I do not intend to avenge the World Nobles." Fujitora smiled as he shook his head. At the same time, he used his Kenbunshoku Haki to look around.
"Your ability is so strange, even with Kenbunshoku Haki, I still don't know how you did it. Can you tell me what that ability is?"
"Do you think that I would explain how my abilities work to a stranger? Especially to strangers who are ready to draw their swords?" Vermillion looked at the man with a playful smile.
"Also, if you really have no desire to avenge them, then why are you exuding killing intent towards me?"
From the moment Fujitora appeared, the man's ferocious aura had been directed at him.
"Although I do not intend to avenge the World Nobles, you are still an enemy of the Marines who disturbed the order of the sea. Therefore, I must get rid of you."
Smiling, Fujitora pointed his sword at his opponent.
"Are your actions driven by a sense of justice? Your character has never changed." Hearing Fujitora's reasoning, Vermillion smiled.
"Hmm? Do you know me?"
"Just some gossip, we've never met before." Vermillion shook his head.
"If you really want to do it, then hurry up, I need to meet my friends on the ship soon."
"Don't worry; I will hand you over to Marines today." Fujitora drew his sword quickly. Moments later, a purple-colored light shot toward the sky.
"Want to catch me?"
"Honestly, I quite admire your intentions. But are you really sure you can catch me with your current strength?" Vermillion tilted his head.
"Even though I am a blind person, I am quite confident in my strength." Fujitora replied.
"By relying on the meteorite you pulled?"
During their conversation, a large meteorite appeared from the sky.
"If one meteorite can't knock you down, then I won't mind sending a few more." Fujitora stood tall as he eyed Vermillion warily.
Although he was quite confident in his strength, Vermillion's abilities could not be underestimated.
"You really like meteorites, don't you?"
"I hope your favorability won't fade after this one." Vermillion looked at Fujitora with amusement.
"Huh?" Fujitora was puzzled; what exactly did the man mean?
But before long, he knew what his opponent meant. Using his Kenbunshoku Haki, Fujitora instantly realized that a meteorite nearly ten times larger was falling toward the island they were on.
The Meteorite slammed straight into Fujitora's Meteorite, shattering it.
"You pulled it down?!"
Not receiving his opponent's response, Fujitora immediately drew his sword into the sky. Purple light rushed out, trying to stop the Meteorite's movement with its power.
*Boom!*
The collision between Fujitora's abilities and the Meteorite caused a massive explosion. Fujitora, who tried to endure it was so overwhelmed. Blood began to flow from the corner of his lips.
"Are you going to stand still? Even if it's a meteorite that you pulled down, the impact will affect you too." Fujitora with a hoarse voice.
"Not really, I have many ways to get off this island."
"Worry about yourself, it must be hard to handle that meteorite, right?"
"Focus on that Meteorite, I won't attack you when you're busy. After all, I have no bad feelings toward you."
Fujitora paused, then focused all his power on the Meteorite. Soon the Meteorite would hit the island; if it wasn't stopped, the island would explode!
Even if he wanted to escape, the explosion would still affect him!
"Mouko!"
Growling, Fujitora swung his sword toward the sky. This time he slashed with more gravity.
The Meteorite that was initially in freefall slowly began to slow down. The Meteorite finally stopped when it was only a few hundred meters above the island!
