One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

……

The following day, Abel ate at the same Chinese restaurant again.

Not long after, a man dressed entirely in white, including white hair, walked into the restaurant.

Then, ignoring the boss's question, he sat down directly opposite Abel.

"I am Arima Kishou, I have arrived."

"Very punctual, they didn't make me wait long."

Abel finished off the remaining food, then wiped his mouth with a tissue. "Gustavus Abel, the one who is about to take away your title of 'Strongest'."

"You seem very confident. Have we met before?"

"Never."

As a half-human born from the White Day Garden and the CCG's top combatant, what Arima Kishou really wanted to ask was whether the person in front of him was also a half-human like himself.

The so-called half-humans are those who do not possess the regeneration or kagune of ghouls, but can eat human food normally and have superhuman physical strength, but have a very short lifespan.

Arima Kishou, who is 29 years old this year, is actually approaching the 'old age' of his life, and his physical functions will decline with the passage of time.

But the man named Abel in front of him gave him a completely different feeling.

"Do we need to wait a little longer?"

"No need, let's finish this quickly. Maybe we can still make it back in time for afternoon tea."

Arima Kishou nodded, then led Abel into a carriage.

The CCG has prepared a battleground for them, ostensibly to avoid harming innocent people.

The real purpose was to collect data on this battle and to assess Abel's combat strength.

Arima Kishou only agreed because he saw the surveillance video of Abel's previous actions at headquarters.

Before long, the two arrived at a place that resembled a research base.

"Are you sure you want to choose this Oni Yamada No. 1 instead of your own Quinque?"

Before going in, Arima Kishou gave the other party a heads-up, probably because he didn't want to take advantage of them.

"I find this knife very handy."

The implication is that it's not needed.

Arima Kishou didn't say anything more. He had a feeling that today's battle might bring him a surprise.

So the two of them walked into a spacious, enclosed space.

"The walls here have been reinforced with the latest alloy materials, so you and I can fight with all our might without any worries. Besides that, you can make any other requests now."

Abel shook his head, pressed the button on the suitcase, gripped the large machete, and used this posture to tell the other party that he was ready, so stop talking nonsense and start fighting.

Seeing this, Arima Kishou also picked up the briefcase next to him, which contained his current favorite weapon, the Quinque: Narukami!

After the transformation, a white hand cannon appeared in his right hand, which he then aimed directly at Abel.

Four metal blades extended outward from the muzzle, and yellow lightning rapidly gathered within them...

The next moment, a bolt of lightning flashed out.

This Quinque: Narukami can actually concentrate Rc cells and release energy in the form of electric shocks!

Abel only had time to raise his broadsword in front of him before he was struck instantly.

Most people would probably be paralyzed and at the mercy of others by now.

However, with Armament Haki as his defense, Abel seemed to be completely unaffected.

Then, from a distance of more than ten meters, he also swung the long sword in his hand.

The dazzling, colorful flying slash flew directly towards Arima Kishou.

Swish!

Arima Kishou's pupils contracted, but he managed to dodge in time thanks to his superhuman speed and explosive power.

But the flying slash still crashed into the metal wall behind it with undiminished momentum.

And then it just passed right through...

Just a few minutes ago, Arima Kishou said something like, "It's been reinforced with the latest alloy materials," and "Fight with all your might, don't worry about anything."

This slap in the face came so suddenly!

"Even an SSS-rank ghoul would have a hard time blocking such a powerful slash."

"This guy's really troublesome..."

Arima Kishou's eyes suddenly sharpened, and the Quinque: Narukami in his hand began to change form once again.

Chapter 351 The Third Quink: Owl!

boom! ! !

The alarms inside the base had already sounded, and the personnel inside were being evacuated urgently.

Before this, no one could have imagined that a battle between two humans could be this terrifying.

Not long after it began, the alloy walls that the researchers were so proud of were destroyed, and as the battle inside intensified, the entire base was at risk of being destroyed.

By then it was too late to stop them, and no one would listen to them.

Therefore, left with no other option, the higher-ups had to issue an order for everyone inside the base to evacuate immediately.

As for surveillance equipment, less than one in ten remains; most were destroyed in the aftermath of the battle.

Although the entire battle between the two was not recorded, it confirmed that the man named Abel indeed possessed strength comparable to Arima Kishou.

Knowing just this much is enough!

The next thing CCG needs to discuss is how to win this person over and make him work for them.

After all, such terrifying combat power is like a human missile. If it cannot be controlled, one might not be able to sleep soundly.

Therefore, regardless of their stance, the CCG members all hope that Arima Kishou can defeat his opponent.

This outcome will also make their subsequent work more convenient.

At this moment, inside the enclosed space, which had become somewhat dilapidated.

Wielding the Oniyama-no-Ichi, Abel slashed wildly at Arima Kishou like a madman, completely suppressing him.

Arima Kishou's Quinque: Narukami has three forms, including the cannon form, which can release electricity over a long distance and a wide area.

In its pincer form, it can release many small electric balls.

And in its final sword form, it concentrates its power into a single point, possessing extremely high electrical tracking capabilities, making it very difficult to evade its attacks.

This is also the Narukami form that Arima Kishou is currently using.

In addition, Arima Kishou is also a rare 'dual-wielder', and Quinque: IXA is held in his left hand.

Quinque: IXA can transform into a spear for attack, a shield for defense, or a multi-segment spiral spike to strike enemies, making it an invaluable weapon for both offense and defense.

It was precisely by relying on this method that he was able to withstand Abel's continuous and powerful offensive.

Logically speaking, Arima Kishou is at the pinnacle of human strength and swordsmanship, so calling him the strongest is not an exaggeration.

But then he encountered Abel, who had surpassed him in every way!

In terms of physique, Abel's body has undergone several evolutions and has been strengthened multiple times by special drugs and breathing techniques, far exceeding human limits.

This doesn't even take into account his almost freakish talent bonuses.

In terms of swordsmanship, Abel absorbed all of White Yaksha's swordsmanship and combat experience, Diamanti taught him the basics of swordsmanship, Koushirou made him understand what the realm of swordsmanship is, and 'Hawkeye' Mihawk awaits him to surpass.

From soaring slashes to sword illusions, from sword intent to the realm of swordsmanship!

Abel had already reached a level that most swordsmen could never achieve in their entire lives.

Compared to him, Arima Kishou is like a child learning swordsmanship for the first time. He has only reached the peak of skill, and has not even grasped what the next level of swordsmanship is.

Abel could end the fight at any time if he wanted to.

Conversely, for Kishou Arima, Abel brought him unparalleled and immense pressure.

The onslaught, like a raging storm, left him in despair. He could only barely parry using IXA's shield form, but his Quinque was already riddled with wounds and could be destroyed at any moment.

"Where did this monster, which is even more monstrous than a real monster, come from?"

Arima Kishou couldn't understand it.

However, he knew that if he didn't find a way to retaliate, he was likely doomed to lose.

Even though he now knew that his opponent was probably stronger than him, he was not prepared to admit defeat so easily.

As the CCG's White Reaper, an undefeated ghoul investigator, he also has his own pride.

Go, Narukami!

Arima Kishou was completely focused, concentrating all his strength on this one strike.

A dazzling bolt of lightning condensed into a single point at the tip of the sword, then shot out at breakneck speed toward Abel.

This sword strike was as fast as lightning!

Got it!

Under Arima Kishou's watchful gaze, the sword precisely bypassed the opponent's weapon, piercing directly into the opponent's chest while avoiding the vital heart.

Because he did not intend to kill the other party.

This battle may determine who is superior, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a matter of life and death.

Moreover, he was aware of CCG's attitude, and it was still possible that the two of them might be able to fight side by side in the future.

But when the sword in his hand pierced the other person's body, he suddenly realized that something was wrong!

Because the feel was wrong, it was as if I had pierced nothing.

"Afterimage?!!"
