One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 381 Esdeath blocks the way
"Lightning Sword Drawing Technique!"

The moment Kizaru dodged Kizaru's attack, Faraday did not continue to transform into an element. At such a close distance, he suddenly exerted force with his feet and rushed in front of Kizaru in an instant. The supreme sword Raikiri at his waist was instantly unsheathed and slashed towards Kizaru's head.

Kizaru's pupils shrank, and he immediately dodged Faraday's sword at the fastest speed, then turned into a ray of light, broke through the roof and rushed into the sky.

"What a fast sword!"

Kizaru touched his cheek which was numb and a little painful. A sword mark of neither deep nor shallow appeared on his face, with a few drops of blood.

He had only heard of the name of Faraday, the president of the Quicksand Guild, before, and knew that he was the one who possessed the most powerful natural thunder fruit, but his exact combat power was unknown. He did not expect to meet him today!
Faraday also knew that now that Kizaru was watching, it was impossible for him to get the Operation Fruit. He could only defeat the opponent first. Otherwise, if the opponent destroyed the Operation Fruit without getting it, then he would be in trouble.

"Tian Cong Yun Sword!"

Watching Faraday turning into lightning and rushing up with a sword from below, Kizaru also condensed a lightsaber and slashed over.

"boom!!!"

The power of light and lightning collided in the air, but it was obvious that the power of lightning was superior, and Kizaru was knocked back hundreds of meters by Fara's first sword.

This was of no importance to Kizaru. When Faraday caught up, the two started fighting in the air again.

"Crack!!!"

However, after Kizaru's Ame no Murasaki sword collided with the opponent's sword a few times, it was immediately defeated and turned into a light spot and dissipated in the air. Even Kizaru was slashed by Faraday, leaving a charred sword wound on Kizaru's abdomen.

"When it comes to swordsmanship with me, you're far inferior!"

"Thunder Slash!"

Faraday sneered, and then the lightning above the lightning flashed violently and compressed, and struck forward with the force of thunder.

Suddenly, the heaven and earth roared, and the sky was flooded with thunder and lightning. Even light could hardly penetrate this layer of thunder and lightning.

“Yata Mirror!!”

Seeing Faraday using his ultimate move, Kizaru didn't dare to confront him head-on. He condensed a light mirror with his hand, and the next moment the light mirror split and flew in all directions. Kizaru turned into a ray of light and quickly shuttled through these light mirrors, and finally avoided Faraday's Thunder Slash.

Kizaru subconsciously looked behind him. The huge thunder slashed through the sky and rushed straight into the clouds. The clouds in the distance were instantly broken by the huge thunder, and the clouds split into two pieces. The whole sky seemed to be split by this sword.

"Luckily I dodged it, otherwise I would be in trouble!"

Kizaru swallowed and said to himself that his frontal explosive power could not match that of this sword, and he would be the only one to suffer if he faced it head-on.

Just as Faraday said, his swordsmanship was not that great at all, and was simply not good enough in front of Faraday's Thunder Swordsman. So Kizaru simply stopped using his weakness to fight the enemy, and chose to use his best speed to deal with it!
“Lightning Flash!!”

Fara's first sword missed, and the next moment he turned into thunder and rushed towards Kizaru, but Kizaru also turned into flash to dodge, and then waited for an opportunity to counterattack with the flash energy.

Both of them were nature-type, and both were very fast. In the blink of an eye, they had fought for hundreds of rounds. The sky was filled with thunder and lightning, and endless flashes of light, as if two gods were fighting in the sky.

Even just the aftermath made Barrerus below feel a deadly sense of suffocation.

He never expected that the Operation Fruit would attract two such powerful monsters, and each of them had no martial ethics. They came here just to snatch the Operation Fruit from his hand, and even Berry was unwilling to give it to him.

This made Barrerus angry and sad at the same time. Now he finally understood what role he played in the eyes of those people. He was just an insignificant ant who could be tortured to death at any time.

The person in the sky would unscrupulously attack to snatch the surgical fruit.

"No, you must not hand over the surgery fruit!"

Barrerus gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, then went to a tree outside the house and dug out the buried devil fruit.

He buried this devil fruit here, and no one knew about it except him. Now he just wanted to take advantage of the fact that the two monsters were fighting and had no time to pay attention to him, and quickly escape from the island with the devil fruit.

Next time, even if I have to sell the surgery fruit again, I will never take risks again.

On the other side, after seeing Kizaru start a big fight with others, Aramaki and Doflamingo rushed towards the island even faster.

However, after Aramaki discovered Doflamingo, he stopped him directly.

"Doflamingo, I have accepted the order from the Five Elders to seize the Operation Fruit. As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you should cooperate with my mission, right?"

Aramaki said while looking at Doflamingo.

“Fufufufufu, since this is an order from the Five Elders, then I will naturally cooperate. Now let’s hurry over and see what’s going on. Don’t let anyone get there first!”

Doflamingo suppressed his dissatisfaction and said that now there was no sign of the Operation Fruit and he didn't want to turn against the guy in front of him, but when he really saw the Operation Fruit, whether to turn against him or not would be another matter!
"Very good, you know what's going on!"

Aramaki said, before flying to the center of the island with Doflamingo.

However, they had to stop before they reached the center of the island because someone stopped them in front of them. It was a woman wearing an ice-blue outfit and emitting a cold aura. The woman standing there made people feel colder than the entire winter.

"Princess Esdeath, the leader of the Promise Pirates!!!"

The moment they saw this figure, both Aramaki and Doflamingo recognized each other at the first time. They didn't expect that the person was Esdeath, the famous Ice Witch.

In seven years, Esdeath had made a great name for herself. Almost all the pirates in the New World were famous. It was Esdeath who killed people with the sword in her hand. Since her debut, at least hundreds of thousands of people had died in her hands!

More importantly, Esdeath became a core cadre of the Promise Pirates five years ago. Becoming a core cadre at the age of 21 represents unlimited potential.

No one knows how strong Esdeath is now, but everyone knows that Esdeath’s future is limitless, and she may become the next Li Yuan!
The moment he saw Esdeath, Doflamingo shuddered in his heart, and the heat of the Ope Ope Fruit seemed to be frozen by Esdeath's ice.

Although his strength has continued to increase with the development of the Devil Fruit over the years, he has long given up the idea of ​​chasing monsters like Esdeath. They are simply not something that a human can catch up with!
