Countless of me are traveling through time at the same time!

Chapter 90: Do we need to go to the Navy Headquarters to rescue people? It only takes a phone call!
"The third naval training camp ended successfully..."

Zefa stood in front of the training ground, looking at his students with a smile: "From the first session, I will invite a strong man from the navy to fight against the chief, to warn you that there is still a long way to go in the future."

"This time, I invited the monster and legend you all call me, Borsalino!"

The students burst into loud applause.

Why are Borusali and Sakaski called monsters?
One of the reasons is that at the end of the first training camp, the veteran vice admiral invited by Zephyr was severely beaten by Akainu and Kizaru.

As a result, the two were promoted to major general on the spot and promoted to lieutenant general within a year.

Kuzan, who is already a major general, will become a lieutenant general like Luke after graduation.

Candidates for general such as Jizono and Kake were promoted to major general.

"Oh my, Mr. Zephyr, it seems like we have a very troublesome opponent..." Kizaru said lazily, with a strange long tone:

"This can't be considered an ordinary graduate, right? Brother Luke is already a vice admiral like me, and is also responsible for managing those terrifying Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

Zefa smiled and said, "Borsalino, you always seem to be so at ease. I wonder if you have listened to my teachings and practiced Haki over the years."

"You're still so strict, Mr. Zephyr." Kizaru scratched his head. He and Zephyr had been at odds since the first training camp. The main focus was on the training of domineering aura and physique.

"You are the future admiral of the navy. The enemies you face will try their best to study your weaknesses..."

Zephyr shook his head: "I am worried about you... The mobility of the Pikachu Fruit is indeed powerful, but without enough Haki, if you encounter a troublesome fruit, you may also be hit."

“Don’t leave yourself with obvious shortcomings.”

Kizaru nodded in response.

He knew that what Zefa said was right...

But even so, he is a first-tier monster on the sea, and no matter what situation he encounters, he will always have no problem protecting himself.

The world is so ambiguous, even justice is so ambiguous...

It really made him lose interest in practicing hard in his early years!
"Brother Luke, please go first..." Kizaru seemed very relaxed.

Luke nodded.

Then, darkness covered his palm in an instant, and his palm was facing Kizaru!

Dark water!

An extremely terrifying suction force burst out from Luke's hands at this moment!

Kizaru's relaxed expression disappeared in an instant, and he flew towards Luke uncontrollably!

“Light also has a gravitational force that cannot be escaped…” Black gas came out of Luke’s palm, and he stomped his feet hard, rushing straight towards Kizaru!

Kuzan looked at this familiar scene and smiled consciencelessly.

A year ago, Luke, who had not yet undergone the devilish training, was in a very miserable state when someone approached him.

Now Luke's fists were learned from two monsters, Zephyr and Garp, and he also smashed eight seastone veins...

Kuzan didn't even dare to imagine what it would feel like if he was caught by Luke and punched hard.
Kizaru, who was captured by the suction force, suddenly exploded halfway and dissipated into golden light all over the sky!
Luke frowned.

Did they actually break away?

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved...

After all, Kizaru is a talented monster, and most of his energy is focused on the development of the Pika Pika Nomi. It is normal that his development of the Pika Pika Nomi is more advanced than his own development of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Even though Luke is extremely talented and has hardly had any rest in a year, there is a limit to his improvement.

The golden light behind Luke was silent and reorganized into a human form.

Kizaru's eyes were serious, and the surging golden light condensed on his fingers, blasting out a huge impact!

“What a strong observation Haki…” Luke’s heart moved.

The confrontation between two people with Observation Haki is like stacking boxes.

Each of them can sense the other's actions, so the competition is about who has the stronger observation Haki, and who will be the one who is predicted...

And Kizaru's observation Haki is obviously not at the weak level that allows Luke to easily predict.

When Luke turned around, the light had already hit his chest!
With a loud bang, Luke was enveloped by the explosion that soared into the sky!

"That's a bit too much..."

Kizaru was shocked, and explained to Zephyr beside him: "Oh my, Brother Luke's ability really shocked me. If he is caught, terrible things will happen!"

"I was so nervous that I rushed with all my strength. This is my fault. I'm sorry, Luke-san and Zephyr-sensei..."

Zefa laughed and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Borusalino, you should worry about yourself..."

Kizaru said nothing, looking at the smoke from the explosion worriedly.

He respects Zefa very much...

But the problem is that Zephyr's lack of understanding of the power of the fruit and his admiration for domineering really make him unable to agree.

Although the domineering power is powerful, the most cost-effective option is when the fruit is developed to the extreme!

And when the smoke cleared, Kizaru's eyes suddenly widened.

Luke, who had been hit by his full-strength attack, looked fine except for the grayness on his face.

"It hurts quite a bit, almost as much as Vice Admiral Garp's serious punch..." Luke stretched his muscles, and the two dark colors of the Dark-Dark Fruit and Armament Haki blended together, forming a dense armor on his body.

"I'm going to do it too, Kizaru-senpai."

Kizaru's elementalization is terrifyingly fast.

It is said to be elementalization, but it is more like teleportation formed by the light particles dispersing and reorganizing.

It's not just that his observation Haki is so strong that it's hard to predict...

"Hey, what kind of structure is this? Did our navy produce a Charlotte Linlin or Kaido?"

Cold sweat broke out on Kizaru's forehead. Can humans be so resistant to attacks?
Luke said nothing more, maintaining a strong suction force in his palm at all times, and rushed towards Borsalino!
The light bombarded Luke like rain!

But when it exploded on Luke's dark arrogance, it was like a drop in the ocean, and not even an explosion occurred...

It was actually absorbed forcefully!
"Troublesome ability!"

Kizaru began to panic. Although Luke's dark gravity could not control him instantly, it could slow down his speed to a certain extent.

For Kizaru who believes that speed is weight, when speed is restricted, strength will naturally be halved!

Especially since Luke is the user of the Dark-Dark Fruit and has outstanding physical skills.

In a fight, if I don’t have the bonus of the Pika Pika Fruit, wouldn’t that be courting death?
In a hurry, Luke was surprised to find that the light was not moving in a straight line!

The flash of light was like a floating car, drawing an amazing arc in the air and avoiding Luke's suction control!

"Hahahahahaha!" Luke laughed out loud when he saw this scene.

In the original time and space, Kizaru, who was responsible for killing Vegapunk on Egghead Island, once used an arc of light...

Luke couldn't help laughing when he thought about how Kizaru usually hides his skills and has to use the Yata Mirror to reflect in order to walk in a curve.

He is really good at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
"As expected of Senior Kizaru, he is as strong as a monster..." Luke exclaimed sincerely.

Kizaru narrowed his eyes: "Hey, hey, Luke-kun, you are using my words!"

"Senior Kizaru, I won this battle unfairly..."

Luke said slowly: "If we were in an open area, I would not be able to defeat you... Teacher Zefa has always regarded you as a disciple that he is proud of. He has praised your fruit development ability to me many times in private..."

"Teacher Zephyr once said that if someone else got the Pierce Pierce Fruit, the power they displayed would definitely not be as strong as you did. He just thought you could do better. After all, you will definitely be one of the future faces of the navy."

"After all, a general always has to take the initiative to attack the enemy, and sometimes he has to fall into an enemy ambush."

Zefa was a little confused.

Who praised Kizaru in private?

Didn’t I just say a few words that he is indeed talented?
Kizaru nodded thoughtfully and laughed:
"I have always had great respect for Mr. Zefa, but I didn't expect that he would praise me with his most proud disciple?"

"But brother Luke, you haven't won this battle yet, eh?"

A glimmer of fighting spirit flashed in Kizaru's eyes, and he became serious.

"No, it's over."

Without a sound, darkness suddenly erupted, forming a huge sphere that enveloped the training ground!

Kizaru turned into light, but the terrifying suction limited his speed. The spreading darkness and the double gravity released from Luke's hands still trapped him in this dark sphere!
"If we were fighting on the sea, with Kizaru-senpai's wisdom, he would definitely not get close to me... He would keep harassing me with light from a distance, and I would get hurt over time."

In the complete darkness, Luke's voice rang out: "Even if I develop the Dark-Dark Fruit a little more powerful, I can't catch you in a fair one-on-one fight."

Kizaru felt a chill in his heart.

He finally understood what Luke had just said...

Even though his Pika Pika Nomi makes him highly mobile, as a vice admiral of the navy, he is not a pirate who hunts on the sea. He always has to fight deep behind enemy lines!
So if you are ambushed by the enemy's fruit... at that moment, you will only have domineering to rely on.

After all, the stronger the domineering, the stronger the resistance to the power of the fruit.

"I really can't accept it. It has come to this point." Kizaru sighed, and his tone suddenly changed: "It makes my competitive spirit burn again!"

"The power of the fruit has been greatly suppressed... Brother Luke, I haven't used this move since I developed it!"

"You can't use it..." Luke said with a smile.

A huge amount of seastone powder spewed out from the darkness, forming a large amount of smoke that filled the Samsara Realm.

Kizaru, who had finally gotten excited, was originally thinking about proving the power of his fruit, but at this moment his eyes widened as he felt his physical strength draining away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

No. What kind of hellish fighting style is this, Luke?
The Dark-Dark Fruit and the smoke of seastone in a confined space...

You have a grudge against people with special abilities!

The darkness dispersed.

Luke walked up to Kizaru and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Kizaru, I agree with your ambiguous justice. This world makes me confused about what justice is..."

"Your development of the Sparkle Fruit has also benefited me a lot. I hope we can talk more and become friends when we have the chance."

Kizaru blinked, returned to his lazy look, and clasped Luke's hand tightly.

This gave him enough face and also released strong goodwill...

"Brother Luke, I have a good impression of you as well... Especially when you think that the Dark-Dark Fruit is in your hands, I feel much better."

Kizaru turned to look at Zefa, laughed and said: "Teacher Zefa! I made you worry about this terrible graduate. Thank you for your hard work. I will practice Haki seriously in the future!"

Zefa was startled, then laughed and scolded:
"You little brat! It's good to know! If you have any questions, come to me more often. I want to give you all the treasures I have!"

Kizaru and Zephyr smiled at each other, both of them were in a good mood.

It was supposed to be a tense battle, but after Luke's bonding, the relationship between the three people became closer, and the scene was even warm for a moment.

"No tea today, let's have some wine..." Kizaru flashed a few times, brought over a few bottles of sherry, and threw them to Luke and Zephyr:

“My heart feels so warm!”

Kuzan, who was standing by, looked at the scene speechlessly: "Hey, did you forget about it?"

"Hey, Major General, did you ask the Lieutenant General to get you some wine?" Luke made a joke, took out a bottle of wine from the dark space and threw it to Kuzan, then pursed his lips:

"Look, Borsalino and I are both lieutenant generals, not to mention Mr. Zephyr, he's an admiral!"

Kizaru stretched out his tone: "Well, Kuzan-chan is such a cute newcomer~"

Zefa took a sip of sherry and shook his head with a smile: "New recruit!"

Kuzan felt a chill.

But then he couldn't help laughing, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly: "I will be promoted to lieutenant general in two days! It's really hateful, you monsters and old-timers, just laugh at me as much as you want!"

"I will be the strongest one!"

Ji Yuan stared at Luke's figure, smiled charmingly, and thought to herself, "Interesting man, with such a hard fist, he must be quite good at relationships, right?"

"In such a short time, I have become friends with several monsters and become the center of communication..."

"Man, you got my attention!"

Luke and the others drank and chatted.

Kizaru's face turned slightly red, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but complain:
"Teacher Zefa, how did you teach Luke? How could he have such a sinister fighting style in this ocean?"

"Ah? Luke is still cunning..." Zefa shrugged.

Kuzan and Luke looked at each other and laughed, "Forget it, let's drink!"

Several wine bottles collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

--------

A month later.

Luke, who was sailing on the sea, received a call from Whitebeard.

"problem occurs!"

Whitebeard said in a very serious tone:

"I'm going to prepare to attack Impel Down! Marco went out for training, but he ran into Aokiji and got captured!"

"What just happened was seen by others in the large fleet."

Luke's head was full of question marks.

How come Marco is learning from Ace?
The War on the Top is going to be changed to the War on the Fortress, right?

"Go out to gain experience? How come Marco, this brat, learned from me..."

Luke cleared his throat and said, "You have to be more careful about this in the future. Let them go out and explore when they are really capable. Otherwise, if one gets caught, you have to rescue everyone at once?"

"Don't be offended by what I say. We are saved if we are caught, but isn't this our weakness? We should conduct strict quality inspections in the future. We can't go on like this."

Whitebeard was silent: "I know! But Marco must be saved..."

He also understands this truth.

Attack Impel Down, because of its geographical factors, it will definitely attract the attention of Marinford.

The power of the entire navy will be involved!
Once an exchange of fire occurs, there will definitely be a large number of casualties...

"Let's all be more alert and don't lose face!"

"The same is true for Marco. At his age, his strength has not yet reached the explosive growth period. Isn't it asking for trouble to go up against Aokiji who is a few years older than him?"

Luke shook his head helplessly.

If the fifty-year-old Kuzan faced the forty-five-year-old Marco, Luke believed that the Phoenix would be able to escape.

But it's hard to say whether the 23-year-old Kuzan will face the 18-year-old Marco...

"Alas!" Whitebeard sighed irritably, "Luke, I understand what you said. This time when I go back, I will seriously set rules with my sons!"

"When will you come back?"

Luke smiled.

His father was no less than anyone else throughout his life.

I wanted to ask myself if there was any way to save Marco, so I didn't make such a big fuss...

But I was just too embarrassed to speak up, and felt shy.

After all, although Whitebeard is the strongest man in the world, he is not stupid.

How could he, who loves his sons so much, want to take the initiative to jump into the navy base to fight?
Ace's situation in the original time and space involved the issue of face for public execution, which was another matter...

"Okay, I understand this."

Luke looked up at his watch and said, "Marco will be able to talk to you by phone tonight at the latest. I'll ask him to bring you some goodies then. We've been pirates all our lives, so we might as well try some of the navy's specialties."

"Let the brothers go away. I'll take care of it. It's a piece of cake."

"Don't worry about it. Let them practice well when they get back. Don't go out and mess with the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Whitebeard looked at the hung up phone.

The strongest man in the world blinked vigorously.

This kid is really capable. He can rescue Marco with just one phone call? He is even more arrogant than the Warring States!
Even the overlord of the sea wouldn't dare to say that...

"Hey, Major General!"

Luke answered Kuzan's call: "Are you still busy?"

"Vice Admiral, I am a vice admiral now!" Kuzan yelled in a feigned annoyance, then laughed: "We just caught a pirate, Marco from the Whitebeard Pirates..."

"Well, it's a bit of a headache. After all, I'm that man's crew member."

"If we anger him, it will be very troublesome... But it doesn't matter. After all, we are the navy of justice. There is no reason not to catch pirates when we see them!"

Kuzan, who was burning with justice, said so.

“It’s a bit troublesome indeed…”

Luke agreed and suddenly sighed, "How about this? You hand it over to Marco. I'm short of people among the Shichibukai recently. I'll talk to him!"

"Can you do it? I've made it clear, I'll throw this hot potato to you. I'll take the military merit, but I don't want the life!"

"No problem, at worst, Whitebeard Lao Deng will come to jailbreak and we'll just do it!" The filial son Luke said without any burden:
"Tell me your location, I'll come find you!"
