One Piece: Starting with God Valley, intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

Before Roger could respond, Giggs sneered, waved his arm, and the wolf in the sky moved above the pirate fleet. Then he deactivated his ability.

The wolf's massive body descended from the sky like a mountain crashing down. Roger's pupils contracted, and he immediately flashed into the air, releasing his domineering aura from a distance, which struck the wolf's body and pushed it towards Gigg.

Swish!

The demon sword Muramasa appeared in Giger's right hand. A black light flashed in his eyes, and as Muramasa swung, a jet-black sword aura that swept across the sky and sea was unleashed.

The next second, to the astonishment of the world, the mountain-like giant, before it even reached the airspace above the fleet, was cleaved in two by sword energy as easily as cutting tofu. A waterfall of blood, mixed with enormous internal organs, poured down, instantly turning the seawater blood red.

This bloody scene is enough to make anyone want to vomit just by looking at it on screen, let alone the people actually there.

Pfft!

The wolf's body, split in two, was slammed into the sea, creating several towering waves. Roger's face turned ashen, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, wishing he had pushed the wolf to the back earlier.

If this thing can emerge from the sea unexpectedly when the main naval forces are deployed, it can at least capsize a few warships.

But now, besides being disgusting, it hasn't done anything useful at all.

Giger looked down at the large amount of entrails and the wolf carcass floating on the sea surface and said calmly,

"Truly marine debris."

After saying that, Giger looked up at the person opposite him and said,

"You too."

Upon hearing this, the pirates all showed anger on their faces, but no one dared to utter a sound. They all unconsciously turned their gazes toward Roger, who was on the flagship.

Roger's face was ashen. He gripped Ace, pointed at Giggs opposite him, and uttered a single, chilling word.

"kill!!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the pirates immediately began to move, and a large number of pirate ships rushed towards the warships ahead under the cover of cannon fire.

Wildgrass released dense vines that stretched into the sky, quickly weaving a large green net that blocked all the incoming shells.

At the same time, Akainu roared and raised his arms, which had turned into magma, spraying a large amount of magma into the air.

"Meteor Volcano!!"

Amidst a rain of lava, Aokiji flashed into the air, his body radiating a chilling aura, and with a single Ice Age attack, he instantly froze the seawater.

The pirate ship, which was sailing along, was frozen in place and became a target for Akainu's Meteor Volcano. In the end, the ship was destroyed and the crew perished, and the cries of the pirates could be heard everywhere.

The Jackson remained at its initial position. Roger's expression remained calm as he witnessed the pirates' tragic state. To him, those pirates were hardly his companions; their deaths were no big deal.

During this time, he at most destroyed a few clumps of lava that were heading towards the Jackson.

Around the Jackson, there were also many pirate ships. The pirates on these ships were intelligent and much stronger than the cannon fodder who had charged forward earlier.

At this moment, they looked mockingly at the cannon fodder being ravaged by lava and extreme ice in front of them, showing no intention of sending reinforcements.

They understood that rushing in before the people on the Jackson took action would be tantamount to suicide.

If you're going to be a pirate, you need to use your brain!

Across from him, Kizaru stood with his hands in his pockets, watching Akainu and his two companions wreaking havoc, and spoke with measured intonation,

"Oh, everyone's so motivated, I have nothing to do."

After saying that, Kizaru turned his gaze to Roger, who was standing at the bow of the Jackson, and said softly,

"To catch the thief, first catch the king..."

Chapter 239 Crimson Gold Combination vs. Barrett!

Kizaru slowly pulled his hand out of his pocket, and his body transformed into countless photons that flew into the sky, converging into a dazzling golden flash.

When the light faded, Kizaru appeared in mid-air, his arms crossed in front of his chest, with two cross-shaped beams of light emanating from his hands.

Seeing this, Rayleigh, who had fought Kizaru before, frowned and said...

"It's that guy again. It seems like this is his target."

As he spoke, Conqueror's Haki crackled from Rayleigh's body. He drew his sword and fixed his eyes on Kizaru in the air.

At that moment, Kizaru swung his arms, and with a shout of "Yasakani no Magatama," a barrage of light bullets rained down on the Jackson.

Rayleigh was about to make a move, but Roger grabbed him and held him back. In that brief moment, Barrett activated his Demon form and charged towards the rain of light.

After a series of explosions, Barrett fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ice below.

His skin, which had turned pitch black due to his domineering aura, was covered with golden spots of light, and wisps of black smoke rose from them.

Upon seeing this, Kizaru in the air once again transformed into photons and dispersed, eventually coalescing in front of Barrett.

Barrett shook his thick, barrel-like neck, making a series of crisp cracking sounds, then looked at Kizaru opposite him and grinned maliciously.

"They dared to attack the Jackson? The Navy has some nerve!"

Kizaru curled his lip and said,

"A monster has arrived! Kowa-nee~"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in front of him, and a lightsaber formed from photons appeared in his hand.

Barrett crouched down slightly, placing his hands on the ice. Then, he activated the power of his Fusion Fruit, absorbing large chunks of solid ice into his hands. After being recombined and compressed, they formed a pair of extremely hard ice crystal knuckle dusters.

That wasn't all. He then wrapped his Haki around the pair of ice crystal brass knuckles. Seeing this, Kizaru's expression also became serious, and the light on his lightsaber became even more solid.

The next second, Barrett shot towards Kizaru like a cannonball, cracking the ice along its path, creating a terrifying spectacle.

When Barrett appeared in front of Kizaru, he immediately slashed down with his sword.

boom!

The lightsaber and the brass knuckles collided, and the powerful aftershocks spread out, mixed with golden beams of light shooting in all directions, causing a series of violent explosions on the ice surface.

Immediately afterwards, Kizaru and Barrett emerged from the light, and the two were already locked in combat. However, against a physical prowess monster like Barrett, this kind of battle was clearly not an advantage for Kizaru.

He had no choice but to fight and retreat, trying to find an opportunity to create distance. Once the distance was sufficient, he could unleash his most powerful light-speed kick or long-range beam attack.

But Barrett clung to Kizaru like a leech, giving Kizaru no time to even use the Yata Mirror.

At this moment, Kizaru couldn't help but recall Zephyr's teachings: don't rely too much on Devil Fruit abilities! Focus on training your physical skills and Haki!

This is also the sentence that Kizaru finds most annoying. In his opinion, his physical skills and Haki are not weak at all. Although they are weaker than Akainu, compared to Gigantomachia... well, that's a supermodel, there's no need to compare.

Putting those two aside, he is definitely several levels better than his peers in these two areas!

But now, facing a pure martial arts monster like Barrett, he finally realized his own shortcomings in this area.

He made up his mind that he would definitely strengthen his training in this area after he returned this time!

But thoughts may exist, the battle continues.

After a fierce battle, Kizaru and Barrett had exchanged dozens of blows.

Suddenly, Kizaru's movements slowed slightly, and Barrett seized the opportunity to punch him in the abdomen. The overwhelming force sent Kizaru flying backward.

Barrett was about to give chase when a sudden rumble came from beneath the ice. Immediately afterward, a scorching column of magma burst through the ice, blocking Barrett's path.

In that short time, Kizaru had already adjusted his posture, performed a graceful flip in mid-air, and landed steadily on the ice.

He raised his hand to wipe away the trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the still-spraying lava, and said softly,

"Sakazuki, you're punctual too."

Kizaru clearly remembered that during the battle between the Navy and the Whitebeard and Roger Pirates, when he arrived, Akainu said the same thing to him in the same tone.

Akainu slowly emerged from the pillar of magma. Upon hearing Kizaru's words, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This movement was extremely subtle, and since his face was covered by crimson magma, even Barrett, who was closest to him, did not notice it.

Of course, even if Barrett noticed, he wouldn't care, since he didn't know much about Akainu's personality and didn't know that the person in front of him was the famous "coffin face" in the Navy, who rarely smiled genuinely throughout the year.

Barrett only cared about the opponent's strength. He looked at Akainu and grinned.

“I know you. Rayleigh really respects your strength and that of that shiny monkey from earlier.”

Akainu snorted coldly and said disdainfully,

"To be recognized by pirates is a disgrace to me!"

Swish!

Kizaru flashed to Akainu's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

His eyes, hidden behind his tinted glasses, narrowed slightly, radiating a dangerous aura.

"That's very rude of you..."

Barrett tilted his head and chuckled wickedly.

Do pirates even need to be polite?

"makes sense."

No sooner had Kizaru finished speaking than Akainu suddenly attacked without warning, sending a massive magma fist hurtling towards Barrett's face.

Before Barrett could even wipe the smile off his face, he was covered in scorching lava. If he hadn't been in his demon form with his face protected by a domineering aura, this might have been the death of him.

Although it didn't cause Barrett a fatal injury, his face was still scalded by the lava and blistered. The blisters were then covered by the aura, making them look like some blackish-purple lumps of iron, which was truly terrifying.

Seeing Barrett's miserable state ahead, Kizaru blinked. He had just seen a shadow of Giggs in Akainu.

That's right, it's this kind of behavior where they're talking one second and then attack the next. Akainu has truly learned the essence of this from Giggs.
