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

Chapter 384 Human Spirit: Kizaru and Aramaki
The power of flashes and lightning in the sky continued to clash and rage, and the extreme speed that was so fast that people could not react illuminated the entire sky.

The speed of flash is faster than that of lightning, but light can only go straight and cannot turn in the middle, while lightning can change direction more freely. After all, the flexibility of electric arc is very strong.

The confrontation between Kizaru and Faraday was fierce and fast. Kizaru has always relied on his speed to bully his opponents. With the Shimmer Fruit, he is undoubtedly the fastest person.

But now after meeting Faraday, he realized that there was someone in this world who could catch up with him, and that the other party's Observation Haki was stronger than his, and he had predicted his actions many times, so that in the confrontation Kizaru was suppressed by the opponent many times.

This was the first time that he, who had never been defeated in terms of speed, suffered a loss, as his observation Haki was not as good as that of his opponent.

Even though he was faster, his Observation Haki was not as good as the opponent's, the opponent was not much slower than him, and the opponent was more flexible, so he was hit by the opponent several times.

"Hahahahaha, Kizaru, your Flash Fruit is not as powerful as my Thunder Attack!"

Farady taunted as they fought.

In Kizaru, he saw his former self.

I used to be arrogant and complacent because of the speed of the Thunder Fruit, and I was proud of my extreme speed advantage.

But when he fought with his father, and they were fighting in the air, no matter how fast he was, he would be chopped down from the air by his father's sword. After being chopped to the point of doubting his life, he finally came to his senses and tried his best to train his Observation Haki, just to avoid being chopped down by his father!
"How horrible, how horrible! The Thunder Fruit lives up to its reputation. I'm running away first!!"

Even though Faraday mocked him, Kizaru didn't get angry. He took advantage of an opportunity to run away and didn't continue fighting with Faraday. After all, he had received the retreat signal from Aramaki, and it would be dangerous to continue fighting.

"This guy really runs away when he says he will!"

Watching Kizaru running away, Faraday had no intention of chasing him. He couldn't stop Kizaru anyway, and chasing him would be a waste of time.

"Hey, isn't this Aramaki who vowed to complete the mission? Why are we retreating before we even get the surgery fruit?"

After Kizaru arrived at the warship parked next to the island, he looked at Aramaki who was already on the warship with a teasing look on his face.

"Ahem, there is a reason for this. I met Doflamingo and Esdeath of the Infinite Pirates on the island. Doflamingo did not stand by me at the critical moment. In addition, there were cadres of the Infinite Pirates ambushing in secret, so I had no choice but to retreat strategically."

"Speaking of which, as the user of the Pikachu-Pikachu Fruit, you have super speed, so why didn't you get the Surgery Fruit?"

When Huang Ma was asked this by Kizaru, Huang Ma was a little panicked inside, but he appeared calm on the surface. He had already thought of a plan at the moment of retreat.

"You can't blame me for this. Faraday, the president of the Quicksand Guild, came here in person this time. He is the strongest natural-type user of the Thunderbolt Fruit, and he got here faster than me. When I arrived, I didn't see the surgeon there. I guess he had already been captured by the Infinity Pirates."

Hearing Aramaki's question, Kizaru answered slowly. Kizaru, who was used to slacking off, had already mastered the skills of quibbling and shifting the blame to perfection.

"In that case, let's each report to our superiors."

Aramaki said.

"no problem!"

When Kizaru heard what Aramaki said, he nodded with great satisfaction.

Both of them are smart guys. Since the mission failed, they have to find a good excuse. The conversation between the two just now can be regarded as a good confession.

Anyway, the mission failed because the enemy was too strong and they arrived too late, which ultimately led to the mission failure. They are responsible for this, but they cannot be blamed entirely.
The Promise Pirates:
"Dad, I got the surgery fruit back."

After Esdeath and the others returned to the Wuji Sea, they immediately gave the Surgery Fruit to Li Yuan.

"Thank you for your hard work. Prepare well. In the next war, we will unite with other pirates in the New World, cross the calm belt, attack and occupy the South China Sea!" Li Yuan said with satisfaction after getting the surgery fruit.

"Dad, should I take action this time?"

Faraday asked excitedly.

Faraday's current public identity is the Quicksand Guild, and he has nothing to do with the Infinite Pirates. Even if the World Government suspects that the Quicksand Guild is related to the Infinite Pirates, it is just a suspicion. No one in the outside world knows Faraday's identity at all.

"You can handle this operation as you wish. Just take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits. It's best not to reveal your identity."

Li Yuan waved his hand.

"That's great. The Quicksand Guild is planning to expand."

Faraday said excitedly.

After Esdeath and the others left, Li Yuan took the surgery fruit to Lazli's laboratory, and happened to see Luo here.

"captain!"

When Luo saw Li Yuan coming, he ran over immediately.

"Luo, here, this devil fruit is the surgery fruit. Only after a powerful doctor eats it can the power of this fruit be fully developed."

"And it allows you to perform extremely powerful surgical skills, which greatly increases your chances of performing surgeries. It's just right for you to take."

Li Yuan handed the surgery fruit to Luo and said.

"Thank you, Captain. I will definitely not let you down!"

Hearing that the surgery fruit was so powerful and particularly suitable for him, Luo happily took the devil fruit.

"It tastes so bad!"

When Luo took a bite, his face suddenly turned black and he almost vomited it out, but Luo held back and swallowed it directly.

"Develop this devil fruit well. I hope that the next time I see you, you will be able to use the power of this devil fruit to perform surgery."

Li Yuan looked at Luo who had eaten the devil fruit with satisfaction and then went to find Lazili.

Holy Land Marijoa:

"What? The operation failed? Or was the Operation Fruit stolen by the Infinite Pirates?"

After Aramaki and Kizaru reported the information of the mission respectively, the faces of the Five Elder Stars suddenly turned dark when they heard the news.

The Infinite Pirates, the Infinite Pirates again, how come most of the failures of their world government are due to the Infinite Pirates?

If they remembered correctly, the Wuji Pirates had already obtained the Millennium Dragon's bones, and now they had obtained the Opexia Fruit. They were really afraid that Li Yuan would eventually obtain the power of the Immortality Surgery.

If that happens, it will be a disaster for their world government!
