Vongola Primo in One Piece - Chapter 412
Axe’s expression turned icy, and his aura rose dramatically, far more potent than when he faced Levi and the others. As a CP0 officer and a guardian for the Gorosei, his strength was indeed at the level of an Admiral, not just any Admiral, but a formidable one. The World Government’s 800 years of heritage is for more than just show.
If Imu, the person behind the Gorosei, the one sitting on the Empty Throne, willed it, producing Admiral-level powerhouses is a possible task. CP0 officers are typically chosen by the Gorosei and reported to Imu for approval. After Imu’s endorsement, these geniuses are trained with the total resources of the World Government, ensuring they become exceedingly powerful.
Hence, their strengths are formidable, whether they have previously encountered Geno, Tengu, and Gaki or the current Axe and Aimu.
Of course, some CP0 officers have risen through the ranks purely through their efforts, such as the one who was instantly defeated by Arnold earlier…
“Kill me? Haha, it’s been a while since I’ve met someone as arrogant as you. If you’re so confident, why not give it a try? But your end will be just like that guy earlier, blasted to pieces by me!”
Xanxus laughed angrily, the scars on his face becoming more pronounced: “Belphegor!”
The modified Varia Ring.VG immediately summoned Xanxus’s previous Box Weapon, the Sky Storm Lion-Tiger!
However, the current Sky Storm Lion-Tiger looked much fiercer and sharper, clad in platinum armor—a new power of the Vongola family after Talbot’s enhancement. Xanxus’s power lies in the Sky Storm Lion-Tiger: Platinum Armor!
“Form Change!”
After Talbot upgraded the Box Weapon and ring, Xanxus’s Sky Storm Lion-Tiger could also change forms like the Vongola Box.
With a low shout, the Sky Storm Lion-Tiger: Platinum Armor transformed into particular dual fists, replacing Xanxus’s usual weapon, now named… Beast Emperor Cannon!
Provoked by the earlier words, Xanxus immediately entered a state of full power without hesitation. The flames of rage infused the Beast Emperor Cannon, and as he pulled the trigger, a massive lion’s head formed from the fire of rage rushed towards Axe with lightning speed.
Even the entire corridor, wherever the Beast Emperor Cannon hit it, turned to ash instantly!
Such a powerful and dangerous aura was too unmistakable. Even those deprived of sight, hearing, and touch could sense the intense danger with their weak Haki and fled with all their might. Anyone who managed to escape considered themselves lucky!
From the beginning, they hadn’t wanted to alert Xanxus, nor did Levi and the others, because once Xanxus got angry, he wouldn’t care about friends or foes!
“Boom!”
The deafening roar echoed throughout the area. The terrifying explosion engulfed everyone, leaving poor Levi and the others unable to feel pain, utterly unaware of the extent of their injuries.
But with Xanxus’s attack, the entire mansion was swept through, turning a once intact corridor into ruins, with a clear sky view through the destroyed roof. This area had become a true wasteland.
Repairing and rebuilding would undoubtedly cost a fortune…
As the area turned into ruins, a massive ice sculpture appeared. Through the ice, one could see Kaido, who had been sealed there after being dealt with earlier.
Kaido’s resilience makes it nearly impossible for him to kill, so Giotto chooses to freeze him with Zero Point Breakthrough.
That was many years ago, and now the Vongola family might have the power to kill Kaido. But to do that, they’d have to release him first, and no one in their right mind would do that just for a fight.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a powerful attack. If I had taken it head-on, I would have been seriously injured, if not killed. But unfortunately, I can perfectly dodge your attack, so I’m not hurt at all!”
At that moment, a teasing voice spread out. Axe still stood in his original spot, a cold smile on his face, his eyes fixed on Xanxus.
As he said, there wasn’t a scratch on him. However, his appearance had changed dramatically, with blue tiger stripes glowing faintly on his body, his eyes turning into a tiger’s eyes, and a unique “?” symbol appearing on his forehead.
A Devil Fruit user of the Mythical Zoan type!
Even for a Zoan user, completely dodging Xanxus’s all-encompassing attack seemed impossible.
But the fact remained: Axe was unscathed!
Seeing Xanxus frown, Axe laughed: “Confused, aren’t you? Well, it’s understandable. My Devil Fruit isn’t listed in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia—Mythical Zoan: Ghost Tiger! Haha, with this power, I’m invincible. Not even Vongola Primo could defeat me!”
Ghost Tiger?
A Devil Fruit unseen and unheard of before. Indeed, the CP0 officers’ abilities are often unrecorded in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, possibly hidden by the World Government.
If you want to understand the methods, just look at the Ohara Incident. For the World Government, hiding information is simple, and in 800 years of rule, Ohara wasn’t the only one.
“Huh? Why am I buried? Did something happen just now?”
Suddenly, Aimu stood up from the rubble, looking around in confusion, unaware of why he ended up like this. He had some injuries, but nothing serious, just his clothes were tattered.
“He survived my Rage Flames head-on?”
Xanxus’s expression changed, realizing that facing Axe and Aimu would be challenging.
