Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Followed by.

Morgans also quickly ran out of his president's office.

The series of news stories about the destruction of Impel Down could be a long-term report.

In its initial reports, World Economic Daily could still manage to fudge the issue with plain text articles.

But you absolutely must provide some real substance later on!

"Big news! Big news!"

Morgans issued orders within the World Economic News office.

"Send out all the news birds that are near the Navy Headquarters and the area around Enies Lobby."

"Let's attach a few more camera Den Den Mushi to them!"

"I need firsthand news from Impel Down!"

……

Impel Down, above the sky.

The battle between Shiki II and Kizaru continues.

After engaging in battles and encounters with top-tier experts.

The Golden Lion II has gradually digested his eight-star Observation Haki and mastered the new ability to "read people's minds".

This ability to "read minds" can provide excellent support, whether in combat or in other aspects.

With the help of this "reading minds" [Observation Haki], Shiki II was able to handle the battle with ease.

Every move Kizaru makes, every battle idea he has, will be detected in advance by Shiki Jr., who will then react accordingly.

In terms of specific manifestations, the Golden Lion II's "reading people's minds," while not "predicting the future," can achieve a similar effect.

Kizaru was very uncomfortable with an opponent who could see through people's hearts.

However, his "Glint-Glint Fruit" is no joke either.

After experiencing the initial attack by the "Seastone Wood Spikes," Kizaru became extremely vigilant and no longer blindly relied on the physical immunity provided by the "Glint-Glint Fruit."

If those "sea stone and wood spikes" attacks happen a few more times, Kizaru is really worried he'll be in trouble...

In the ensuing battle, Kizaru chose to play it safe, relying solely on the extreme speed and powerful attacks of the Glint-Glint Fruit to keep the Golden Lion Jr. in check.

The Golden Lion II can read his inner thoughts.

However, Kizaru's own speed is fast enough.

Even if King Shiki II made some very fancy changes.

Kizaru can also use the extreme speed granted by the [Glint-Glint Fruit] to forcibly evade the opponent's attacks.

"Lion's Might - Sea Tornado!"

King Shiki II raised his right hand, summoning endless seawater, which he formed into towering waterspouts that blasted towards Kizaru.

Kizaru didn't even try to take the seawater's attack head-on, nor did he even think about releasing a beam of light to destroy the sea tornadoes. He simply dodged them in an instant.

Before the seawater completely closed in, Kizaru slipped away from the encirclement.

After retreating to a safe position, Kizaru unleashed the "Yasakani no Magatama," bombarding the sky with a barrage of golden light bullets at Shiki II.

However, Shiki II had already sensed Kizaru's thoughts. He moved at lightning speed through the sky, nimbly avoiding the range of the "Yasakani no Magatama".

After the most ferocious round of attacks from the "Yasakani no Magatama" ended.

King Shiki II swung his [Sakura Ten] sword, shattering the last shining light bullet aimed at him; the sharp sword sliced ​​the bullet in two.

The two-part light bullets continued flying backwards, then exploded in mid-air with a deafening roar, their power no less than that of ordinary naval cannons.

"Kizaru."

Golden Lion II floated freely in the sky, calling out to Kizaru on the other side.

"If we continue fighting like this, neither of us will be able to determine a winner."

Golden Lion Jr. can read Kizaru's thoughts, allowing him to prepare in advance for any actions the other party may take.

Kizaru's Observation Haki doesn't have any special abilities, but he does have the Glint-Glint Fruit.

For any other non-speed user, Kizaru's [Glint-Glint Fruit] gives him an invincible advantage.

From this perspective.

Kizaru agrees with the statement that the match was "a draw".

After the battle just now, Kizaru has realized the strength of Shiki Jr.

His Observation Haki was unexpectedly powerful, combined with his Float-Float Fruit and his swordsmanship...

It looks like a combination of "Lone Red" and "Shiki the Golden Lion".

monster!

An absolute monster!

But the admirals are also monsters.

It's a little embarrassing to say that...

However, Kizaru was prepared for a protracted battle.

The Golden Lion II used Devil Fruit abilities at a high frequency during the battle just now, which definitely took some toll.

Moreover, the opponent is constantly releasing advanced Observation Haki, which will only increase their stamina consumption.

Kizaru only needs to wait until his opponent is exhausted before he can easily capture him.

The advantage is mine!

"That kind of thinking is truly shameful, Kizaru."

Although Kizaru didn't say anything, Shiki Jr. had already caught his thoughts.

"Didn't you see the flock of newsbirds around here?"

"The Marine Headquarters Admiral forcibly stalled for time, which is how he defeated a rookie pirate..."

"Wouldn't this completely tarnish the reputation of the 'World Government's Supreme Military Force'?"

"A newbie? Don't be ridiculous."

Kizaru glanced indifferently at the newsbirds in the distance; he had naturally noticed the presence of this flock of seagulls as well.

However, he also noticed the camera Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped insects) on the other person's body.

This is definitely a "reporter bird" specially dispatched after that "big news" received the news!

This time.

What happened in Impel Down cannot be easily covered up by the government like it did last time.

Kizaru merely glanced at the group of "reporter birds" before looking away.

"As for the general's dignity..."

Kizaru said in a deep voice, showing none of his usual slick and flippant manner.

· ········Requesting flowers····· ·····

"If I let you escape, I will lose face!"

"What a nuisance. I hate enemies as fast as you the most."

"Golden Lion II said casually."

"You can't cut it down, and you can't drive it away."

"What a pity~"

Kizaru made a delicate gesture with his fingers, and another burst of cross-shaped light bloomed at his fingertips.

"This is my [Glint-Glint Fruit]!"

The mocking words of the Golden Lion II still seemed to echo in Kizaru's ears.

Is it really that amazing that Observation Haki can read people's minds and predict the future?

Why should we look down on people like them who only rely on their Devil Fruit abilities to make a living?

Damn little devil!

Who do you think you are?!

"Eight-foot beautiful magatama!"

"It's this trick again!"

The Golden Lion II's lips twitched slightly. He reached out and grasped at the surrounding seawater, not bothering to reshape it, but simply grabbing a handful of seawater.

However, this mass of seawater is only a tiny fraction of a billion in volume.

King Shiki II fully utilized his speed, weaving through the saturation barrage of light bullets generated by the "Yasakani no Magatama," while the sea below continuously roared.

Wow - Wow -

The seawater in the Calm Zone, pulled by the [Float-Float Fruit], flew directly into the sky.

The most outrageous thing is...

The volume of this mass of seawater is in no way inferior to that of Impel Down next to it!

King Shiki II floated the seawater into the sky and then manipulated it to crash down.

"Underwater Hell!"

The seemingly endless seawater transformed into a massive, almost cloud-covering "sea island," surging towards Kizaru as if to bury the Marine Admiral along with Impel Down below.

... 0

Kizaru's expression changed slightly.

Having fought with Shiki II for so long, he had somewhat overlooked the fact that the Float-Float Fruit was a terrifying fruit capable of causing natural disasters at any time!

Kizaru could easily dodge this "sea island" that fell from the sky using his [Glint-Glint Fruit] ability, but he couldn't do the same to Impel Down below.

If Impel Down is destroyed, all of Kizaru's previous efforts will be in vain.

Kizaru took a deep breath and instead of dodging away as before, he concentrated his Devil Fruit power in his feet, and his right leg once again transformed into a golden thigh.

"Ten-Iwa-do!"

A high-energy beam containing terrifying power burst forth from Kizaru's right leg, blasting through the entire "sea island" with unstoppable force, and causing a series of explosions the moment it touched the seawater.

boom! ! ! ——

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

The "Underwater Hell" summoned by Shiki II was instantly destroyed by Kizaru's "Heavenly Rock Cave".

Ordinary seawater was no match for the high-energy bombardment of the [Glint-Glint Fruit], and was directly blasted into water vapor that filled the sky.

Water vapor constantly rises from the sea surface into the high atmosphere and then accumulates.

The environment around Impel Down also became gloomy and dark.

Rumbling--

Accompanied by several dazzling bolts of lightning, thunder rumbled in the air.

Just a second ago, Kizaru, who had expended a great deal of energy to completely destroy the "Underwater Hell," breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But in the next second, Kizaru's expression turned extremely serious.

The sudden clap of thunder reminded him of another old friend.

Kizaru suddenly looked at Shiki Jr., only to find that a burly and robust figure had appeared beside him at some point.

"Whitebeard II..."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Kizaru's forehead as he uttered the name with difficulty.

"Edward Teach!"

"Kizaru, don't say we're ganging up on you. You're a Marine Admiral."
