The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 296 Kizaru

"Who is it?"

The sailors' expressions conveyed vigilance and questioning.

As the government's most valued scientist, Vegapunk's importance is self-evident. Protecting him is not only a duty, but also a mission to monitor this genius scientist.

However, Weiss ignored these questions.

His gaze fell directly on the research institute, and he thought to himself, "Vegapunk is there."

Without hesitation, Weiss strode towards the research institute.

"Stop!!" The navy men were extremely anxious when they saw that Wess had no intention of stopping.

In their view, Weiss's actions were undoubtedly a serious threat to the island's security and a blatant provocation against their mission to protect it.

Without further ado, they launched their attack.

In an instant, gunfire erupted, the deafening sound echoing across the entire island. The flashing flames and billowing smoke instantly shrouded the once peaceful and tranquil Aeghed Island in a tense atmosphere of war.

When the smoke cleared, a scene that astonished the Navy and agents appeared: Wes was standing there unharmed.

He frowned slightly and uttered two words: "Gets in the way."

With a gentle wave of his hands, the navy and agents who had just been attacking him were instantly enveloped in a strange red light. Then, their bodies were melted down and transformed into Philosopher's Stones in the blink of an eye.

"Kouwa yin ne~~" Just then, a strange tone rang in my ears, the voice carrying a unique laziness and playfulness.

Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?

This iconic line.

Kizaru had already appeared on the scene. He raised his right leg and kicked towards Wes's head with lightning speed. The speed was so fast that a golden light streaked across the sky.

"Whoosh~" However, unexpectedly, Kizaru's seemingly sure-fire kick seemed to have hit an invisible wall. Instead, he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, smashing several houses.

A moment later, Kizaru slowly stood up from the ruins, dusted himself off, and muttered, "Strange ability, wow~~".

This time, however, his eyes were noticeably more serious, no longer as playful as before.

"Don't get in Kizaru's way, I'm here to see Vegapunk."

Wes didn't stop; he continued walking straight toward the research institute, his brief encounter with Kizaru having no effect on him whatsoever.

"That won't do. My mission is to protect Dr. Vegapunk from being harassed by anyone."

As Kizaru spoke, a golden longsword suddenly appeared in his hand.

"The Kusanagi Sword!"

Kizaru swung his longsword, and a sharp sword aura swept towards Wes.

A longsword instantly appeared in Wes's hand, and he charged forward to meet Kizaru's sword aura.

"Ding~"

"Ding~"

"Ding~"

In an instant, their longswords clashed, producing a series of crisp sounds. Their figures disappeared and reappeared repeatedly in the fierce battle, their speed dazzling to behold.

However, after this fierce battle, Wes was clearly at a disadvantage.

"This guy's swordsmanship is terrible." Kizaru said while suppressing Wes, his smug smile only making people angrier.

Wes ignored him, knowing that if he got too entangled in swordsmanship with Kizaru at this moment, he would probably find it difficult to achieve his goal.

"Gravity Tenfold!"

In an instant, a powerful gravitational force emanated from his body, instantly creating a large crater in the ground, and everything around him seemed to be tightly bound by this gravity.

Kizaru's movements were also greatly affected, becoming noticeably slower.

Just as Kizaru paused, a clone of Wes suddenly appeared behind him, wielding a longsword and thrusting it toward Kizaru's heart without hesitation.

Kizaru possesses powerful Observation Haki, and instantly sensed the danger behind it. His body immediately transformed into elemental form, becoming a beam of light.

After all, light has no weight and is unaffected by gravity, so it flew into the air and reformed into human form.

"Yasakani no Magatama"

After Kizaru stabilized himself in mid-air, he waved his hands, and countless light bullets shot towards Wes.

The light projectiles, like dazzling meteors, hurtled towards Wes at incredible speed, their light blinding.

However, to Kizaru's surprise, none of his shots hit Wes.

All the light projectiles landed in the surrounding area, instantly triggering a series of explosions.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The deafening explosions echoed one after another, and no building was spared; all were destroyed by the energy blasts. In an instant, the island was filled with ruins, smoke, and utter devastation.

"Oh no, I'm going to get another lecture from the professor. But is my ability completely useless?"

Kizaru frowned, filled with frustration. He never expected that his series of fierce attacks would fail to cause any real damage to Wes, and instead leave the island's buildings in ruins.

Just as Kizaru was pondering to himself, suddenly, beams of light converged from all around, quickly forming a huge cube-shaped barrier that completely trapped him inside.

When Kizaru first saw the barrier, he didn't take it too seriously. In his opinion, it was wishful thinking to think that he could be trapped as a Marine Admiral with such a thing.

However, when he subconsciously reached out his palm to touch the barrier and see if he could easily break through it, a sense of powerlessness suddenly overwhelmed him.

The feeling was as if his palm was touching seawater.

"What's going on?" Kizaru's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

He simply couldn't understand what was so strange about this suddenly appearing barrier.

"You ability users are countered by the PYROBROIN factor, so I purified it and incorporated it into the barrier. This move was indeed effective."

Wes stood a short distance away, explaining calmly.

People with Devil Fruit powers are powerful, but they also have corresponding weaknesses. He happened to have grasped the key factors that could overcome them and cleverly used them in this barrier.

"Wow~~ Even a professor couldn't do something like this."

Although Kizaru was trapped, he still wore that ambiguous smile on his face and couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

However, he knew in his heart that his current situation was not good.

Although he is invincible in battle thanks to the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit, he has also cultivated his Armament Haki and Observation Haki to an extremely high level.

He couldn't have become a Marine Admiral just by relying on the power of a Devil Fruit; his own strength was also quite formidable.

"This barrier is enough to trap you for a few minutes."

After speaking, Wes ignored Kizaru, who was struggling inside the barrier, and turned to walk straight towards the research institute.

His purpose in coming to Egherd Island was very clear: to find Vegapunk.

"This is bad." Kizaru looked at Wes's departing figure and scratched his head in distress.

He knew very well that if Wes were to meet Dr. Vegapunk, it would cause a lot of trouble.

But he's trapped in this barrier now, and he really can't break free for the time being, which is giving him a real headache.
