Simultaneously traversing from the beginning of the rampage in Konoha

"Come on, take another punch from me!"

Lightning suddenly flashed behind Kizaru, and the mad owl's incomparably powerful fist slammed into his back.

Kizaru, of course, would not sit idly by and wait to die. He activated his Observation Haki to its fullest extent, making everything around him crystal clear, and every move of the mad owl was crystal clear.

Before the fist, encased in black armor, could reach him, Kizaru immediately transformed into a beam of light and swiftly dodged.

Before he could transform back into human form, the mad owl had already read his mind, and lightning once again appeared in front of him.

Not daring to take the hit head-on, Kizaru naturally dodged again. He didn't want to experience just how painful it would be to be struck by Armament Haki, which was so terrifying it could transform into armor.

Thus, in this dim world shrouded in the Overlord's Mist, the two beams of light kept dodging and chasing each other.

Finally, under the constant erosion of Conqueror's Haki, Kizaru was a step too slow.

"Oh no!"

Kizaru stared in horror at the mad owl that had appeared before him, and at the punch that was coming with tremendous force.

With a loud bang, the jet-black armor slammed into Kizaru's chest and abdomen, which were covered in Armament Haki.

The mad owl's punch was so heavy that Kizaru could hardly believe it. His eyes rolled back slightly in pain, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood that shimmered with golden light.

Then, a barrage of heavy punches rained down on all parts of Kizaru's body.

However, in this world where everyone is a blood cow, these blows, though heavy, are not fatal in an instant.

But if a dozen or so punches won't kill him, then a hundred or a thousand punches will do.

However, the first priority is to prevent him from escaping, since Kizaru, who ate the Glint-Glint Fruit, is too slippery.

Simply blocking his last escape route is clearly not enough.

"Imperial Garden - A Flock of Butterflies!"

Countless bolts of lightning flashed in this dim world.

Palm-sized, purplish-black butterflies fluttered about, almost filling every space on the battlefield.

Each butterfly is shaped and compressed by lightning, and unstable lightning still emanates from the tiny insect.

Once touched, they would explode one after another in an instant, creating a deafening roar.

While each attack might not be fatal to Kizaru, it would at least slow him down and prevent him from moving freely.

Suddenly, Mad Owl's heavy punch struck Kizaru's chin from below, sending him flying upwards.

Immediately afterward, a flash of lightning appeared, and the figure of the Mad Owl appeared on the path of his backward flight.

"Imperial Garden - Leaf Veins!"

Mad Owl raised his right hand and shook it from a distance at the charging Kizaru.

Instantly, a winding bolt of lightning encircled his body, with countless thick veins extending and spreading along it.

Just like a leaf that has lost its leaf tissue and is left with only reticulated veins, it is about to completely envelop Kizaru.

"Heavenly Sword from the Clouds!"

In this critical moment, Kizaru drew a golden lightsaber from his hand, and then the sword wind danced wildly, slicing the leaf veins that were about to close and encircle into lightning fragments.

"The Eight-Foot Jewel!"

Before they could catch their breath, countless golden light bullets rained down, blasting the Thunder Butterflies to pieces.

Each explosion of a Thunder Butterfly is equivalent to the detonation of a cannonball, and these exploding Thunder Butterflies in turn detonate their companions nearby.

The terrifying explosion swept through every inch of space, and Area 28, already ravaged by the growth of the Thunder Tree, was now completely reduced to scorched earth.

Kizaru, having swept away all the obstacles, did not choose to engage in close combat, nor did he dare to directly cross the boundary defined by Conqueror's Haki.

Instead, it transformed into a beam of light and rushed into the still-lingering lightning, then began to dodge and weave erratically in all directions.

"It runs pretty fast, and it's still so slippery."

The jewel that had been shining on his chest dimmed a little, and the mad owl, who had intended to kill him with a single blow, couldn't help but feel troubled.

At this point, even Kizaru himself didn't know where he would go next.

He had completely abandoned thinking, relying solely on instinct to dodge in all directions, without lingering anywhere.

Even so, the premonition of death, like a leech clinging to a bone, did not diminish in the slightest.

"Thunder Tree Reaching the Sky!"

The enormous thunder tree grew again, once more encroaching on every inch of space.

However, this time, the ever-present fear of death made it impossible for Kizaru to stop, and he could only endure the lightning and smash the lightning trees to pieces.

At the same time, Kizaru also discovered that the Conqueror's Haki that had sealed off the battlefield was gradually shrinking.

Within that translucent black and red light barrier, the power of the lightning was also rapidly increasing.

"Much more terrifying than it was eighteen years ago!"

"Ugh, what a chore!"

At this moment, Kizaru only regretted that he had been so foul-mouthed. He could have just said something to make it clear, but he actually provoked them instead.

Besides, even if we do our duty and capture the mad owl, what good will it do? It won't earn us an extra bet.

Now he can only pray that Aokiji and Akainu arrive in time, otherwise they might not even be able to collect his corpse.

As if hearing Kizaru's inner longing, a black and red light barrier suddenly turned icy white.

"It's Kuzan! He arrived just in time!"

Not only were there extremely cold ice blocks, but also scorching explosions that followed, with magma slamming into the frozen light wall like cannonballs.

The crackling and hissing sounds of shattering mingled together, and even the lightning within was completely extinguished by the ice and fire.

The materialized light barrier formed by the Conqueror's Haki instantly shattered, creating a hole with a diameter of over thirty meters.

"A massive fireball!"

A massive fist of lava burst forth from the void, hurtling straight toward the mad owl floating in mid-air.

"Ice Cube - Fierce Pheasant Beak!"

The giant ice bird followed closely behind, adding a layer of cold air to the scorching heat, and stood behind Kizaru.

"That was close! I almost died..."

Upon seeing his two colleagues arrive, Kizaru felt relieved, and his tense nerves relaxed.

But it was this moment of ease that gave the mad owl his opportunity.

click!

It sounded like a piece of iron lightly tapping on glass.

There was no other sign except for that soft sound.

A massive, ten-meter-diameter beam of red light, interspersed with red and white particles, tore through space, obliterating the giant lava fist and completely engulfing Kizaru's figure.

The undiminished light pierced through the overwhelming green barrier erected by the mad owl.

It flew until it passed through three Yarchiman mangroves, and then, with no further obstacles in front of it, it flew towards the horizon and disappeared from sight.

The light appeared for an extremely short time, less than half a second.

Even so, the yellow light never appeared again, completely annihilated into nothingness by the Shugril Ray.

"It feels so refreshing, both physically and mentally!"

The jet-black armor, crackling with purplish-black lightning, slowly landed, and a satisfied sigh came from beneath the menacing mask.

"So, shall we continue fighting?"

The lava surged and rolled, but did not erupt; the ice was frigid and extremely cold, but did not spread.

The two men stared at the mad owl and fell silent for a moment.
