One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

Chapter 78 Dive Bombing! Heading to the New World

"finally!"

Seeing that Ymir was about to collapse, Kizaru let out a long sigh.

He had fought other giants before, but he was certain he had never encountered one as powerful as this!

"Siss, well done."

Kizaru gave a thumbs-up to the young, battered marine next to him.

When he was condensing the second Kusanagi sword, he relied entirely on Sith to tank and deal damage in front of him, so Sith also suffered a lot of injuries.

"Ha, Admiral Kizaru, you should attack a little faster next time."

Sith chuckled and made a sarcastic remark.

Kizaru's Devil Fruit is top-tier, even surpassing Akainu and Aokiji. With just a little effort, it wouldn't be impossible for him to become the strongest Admiral in history.

"Ah, well, I'll definitely practice more when I get back."

Kizaru awkwardly offered an explanation, and the Giant of Light took a step forward, standing in front of Ymir.

"Put down the hostages; this is your last chance!"

He spoke slowly.

Epper Saint was still firmly held in Ymir's grasp, and success was on the horizon. Kizaru didn't want to see him suffer a devastating defeat.

Furthermore, he had a vague premonition that this Ymir was probably not an ordinary giant slave, and that she might be hiding some secret. He couldn't kill her immediately; he had to capture her and interrogate her thoroughly in Impel Down.

Ymir's face was covered in thick blood, yet he wore a wild, arrogant smile.

"Don't even think about me surrendering to you lackeys."

"If you want to arrest me, then do it yourself!"

Kizaru shook his head helplessly.

"Why do I always have to do the troublesome things?"

Before he could finish speaking, the Giant of Light had already thrown a punch in the blink of an eye.

He wanted to take advantage of Ymir's inattention and defeat the giant completely!

boom.

A muffled sound like a fire explosion came, and to Kizaru's astonishment, Ymir firmly grasped the Giant of Light's fist.

"impossible!"

Kizaru was startled. He had absolute confidence in his speed, and unless one possessed top-tier Observation Haki, it would be impossible to defend against his attack.

The problem is, during that battle just now, he didn't see Ymir demonstrate any Observation Haki!

"Kizaru, you rely too much on Devil Fruits!"

Ymir chuckled, his eyes gleaming with cunning.

He didn't rely on the fruit; he simply used the powerful perception of a professional assassin.

Kizaru is fast, but no matter how fast he is, he can't avoid the pre-charge animation, and Ymir can't escape his eyes.

"What?"

Just as Kizaru was about to pull his fist back, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The guy gripped his fist tightly, the terrifying strength making it seem as if Kizaru was welded there, unable to break free at all.

"Admiral Kizaru, run!"

Sith shouted a warning from the side while charging towards Kizaru.

Kizaru's Observation Haki was also frantically issuing warnings, and he quickly ended his maintenance of the Giant of Light, his body transforming into a golden light as he prepared to leave the area.

"Ice Breath!"

Ymir was already prepared. She opened her huge mouth and a burst of extremely intense icy breath gushed out, forcefully pouring into Kizaru's body.

"Ugh!"

Kizaru immediately felt as if his internal organs were frozen, his body stiffened like a puppet, and even his brain slowed down, making it impossible for him to escape quickly using the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit.

"Damn it, I should have trained my cold resistance more with Kuzan!"

Kizaru was filled with regret and his body fell limply to the ground.

At the critical moment, Sith caught him in mid-air.

"Let's go!"

Sith let out a low cry, picked up Kizaru, and ran away as fast as he could.

"Goodbye, world! My brothers will avenge me!"

Ymir put down Epper, burst into wild laughter, and secretly activated a Hextech Gunblade she had never used before.

[Dive bombing]!

"Useless navy, finally rescued me?"

Amber slowly woke up, feeling excruciating pain all over her body, but her first reaction was still to curse.

To his delight, he found himself back on the ground. Didn't this mean he was finally free from that damned slave?!

At that moment, Epper Saint suddenly realized something was wrong.

He had no guards around him, and the giant's condition seemed rather abnormal!

"No, I have to get out of here right now!"

Despite the excruciating pain, Amber struggled to her feet, her body riddled with broken ribs. With unprecedented willpower, she began to move, gritting her teeth as she ran outside.

"Where's the Navy?! Where's the CPO?! Help!"

He ran and cried, his face covered in snot and tears, completely disregarding his dignity and self-respect.

"You cannot abandon me! I am a Celestial Dragon! I cannot die!"

Amber Saint let out a final shout, his body enveloped in a burst of intense light.

Boom!

A huge column of black smoke rose up and quickly turned into a spectacular mushroom cloud, which could be clearly seen even from the distant sailboats.

Half an hour later.

The sea breeze dispersed the smoke and dust, but the towering mushroom cloud lingered, refusing to dissipate.

This once bustling island of Sabaody has been reduced to a wasteland. The once rows of luxurious buildings, along with the Celestial Dragons and nobles who were once entitled to patronize them, have all vanished.

Of course, the huge amount of baiji stored in the island's banks, as well as the treasures in the shops, were all destroyed in the explosion.

At least that's what the Navy thinks.

after a while.

"Sis, I'm sorry."

In the marshal's office, Zhan Guo bowed to his subordinates, a rare occurrence for him.

Sith quickly helped him up, sighing regretfully, "Marshal Sengoku, I understand you. You've already said as many good things as you could for us."

"It was indeed my dereliction of duty not to protect the Celestial Dragons."

Looking at Sith, whose body was wrapped in bandages, Sengoku felt even more guilty.

That was the injury Sith sustained when the giant detonated explosives while trying to save Kizaru.

After the great incident in Sabaody Archipelago, the Five Elders immediately called to question him, and it wasn't just Saint Satan, but all of the Five Elders.

Undoubtedly, they were very dissatisfied with the Navy's performance, especially Kizaru and Sith. One was a Navy Admiral, and the other was a Navy genius. Even when they joined forces, they still failed to protect the Celestial Dragons. The Five Elders demanded that the two be severely punished!

Sengoku argued his case logically, and after a heated debate, he finally convinced the Five Elders that this was an unforeseen incident that Kizaru and the Sith bore no responsibility.

Rather, it's fortunate that two people were there, otherwise even greater losses could have occurred.

In the end, the Five Elders reluctantly accepted Sengoku's explanation, since they couldn't really fire powerful fighters like Kizaru and the Sith just for the sake of two Celestial Dragons.

As for Huoshaoshan, he has been demoted several ranks and reassigned to the Sihai branch.

Sengoku comforted Sith and said slowly, "Sith, I plan to send you to the New World and hear your thoughts."

Upon hearing this, Sith immediately understood that this was Sengoku protecting him.

Although the Five Elders did not punish him, the World Government was certainly quite dissatisfied. Sending the Sith to the New World at this time was a way to avoid trouble.

Furthermore, the battle between Whitebeard and Kaido is imminent, and the two sides have already had several minor skirmishes recently. The Navy will definitely need to send some powerful personnel to keep an eye on them and gather intelligence.

"Marshal Sengoku, I've been wanting to go to the New World on a mission, so this opportunity would be wonderful!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo smiled with satisfaction.

If the Sith were to go, the pressure on the Navy in the New World would be greatly reduced!
