Borsalino's Speed

I don't know when it started, but the wind stopped, the sound disappeared, and the scorching lava on the ground began to cool and solidify.

Borsalino flashed with golden light and appeared directly on the ground from the air, bowing deeply as he looked at the unconscious Sakazuki.

Did I go too far?

However, he quickly lost interest in Sakazuki, straightened up, and turned to look at the distant oasis jungle, where the commotion seemed to have subsided.

He had actually considered joining forces with Sakazuki, waiting for Vidal and Dragon to be both severely weakened, and then teaming up to counterattack the winner.

However, considering Sakazuki's furious gaze and the fact that this guy was indeed in a terrible state.

He is now unable to release large amounts of lava, and can only barely maintain his elemental form to resist his own attacks.

Therefore, they abandoned the idea and simply blew him unconscious.

Just then, Vidal, who was sitting cross-legged on the leafy layer, suddenly opened his eyes. This was not only because most of his Photosynthetic Energy had been restored, but also because Dragon had finally run out of strength and was bound.

Anyone who has exercised knows that physical strength is not a standalone concept; it affects every aspect of the body.

Difficulty breathing, muscle tremors, decreased strength, slower speed, and sluggish reaction time are all real changes.

Although Dragon hasn't fainted yet, it's impossible for him to break free of his restraints in the short term.

The outcome is decided!

Their first encounter ended in victory for Vidal, but he still had a formidable opponent waiting for him in the distance.

Borsalino, a top-tier Logia Devil Fruit User and the future Admiral Kizaru!

Vidal, enveloped by the green light, flew away from the jungle and slowly landed about thirty meters away from the other side.

Just as he glanced at Sakazuki on the ground, about to say something, Borsalino asked with a smile, "Where's Dragon?"

This is a question that everyone watching the live stream wants to know.

Vidal didn't even bother with Sakazuki, replying directly, "It's hanging on the tree; it'll be taken down naturally when it's over."

"Huh?"

Borsalino looked puzzled. "Wasn't it over? We're the last three, oh no, the last two!"

"No, we haven't decided the winner yet, and I don't want this battle to end in regret," Vidal laughed.

"That's too much trouble~" Borsalino said with a look of refusal, as he was the type of person who preferred to avoid fighting if possible.

Being competitive has never been his style.

"Look, Zephyr hasn't declared the melee over, so he probably wants us to have a match too."

Vidal pointed in a direction outside the central area, his Observation Haki clearly sensing that Zephyr was standing there watching.

"Moreover, the main purpose today is to understand the difference in strength between us, so you can't refuse to fight."

As he spoke, the two Wood Clones that had been created earlier rushed out of the jungle, quickly lifted Sakazuki, and ran back to the oasis.

It's too dangerous for him to continue sleeping here; after all, he's a companion.

This scene also earned him more favor among all the high-ranking naval officers watching the live broadcast; no one dislikes a comrade who cares about his partner.

"Okay, okay~"

Borsalino helplessly shrugged. If he wanted to fight, he should. Refusing further would make him seem like a coward. Did they really think he was afraid of Vidal?

The next moment, a familiar yet still dazzling golden light emanated from his body, and he appeared in front of Vidal in the blink of an eye.

"Speed is weight. Have you ever been Light-Speed Kick, Vidal-- "

Since Vidal isn't a Logia user, he shouldn't need that kind of power called Haki, so he directly chose close combat, which could quickly determine the winner.

We've been using too many Glint-Glint Beam lately, and we're getting a little tired of it.

[BIU----]

"It's definitely a bit dazzling, that flash." Vidal was forced to squint, and eventually even closed his eyes altogether.

With a backbend and a backbend, he dodged the Flash Kick aimed at his head with incredible precision.

It looked like an incredibly fast beam of light flashed past in front of us!

"Huh?"

Borsalino was stunned. Was this a coincidence?

[BIU! BIU! BIU!]

But after Vidal easily dodged several of his Flash Kicks, he realized that this was no coincidence, but some kind of ability or power that he was unaware of.

[Bang!]

Vidal naturally wouldn't let it attack at will. After dodging the fourth Flash Kick, he raised his long leg, which was glowing with a faint green light, and kicked it away heavily.

His leg wasn't as fast as Borsalino's, but it still left a beautiful green afterimage, and the force was extremely heavy. Borsalino felt pain in his calf as soon as he regained his balance.

"You really are as strong as a monster." Borsalino dropped his nonchalant expression.

He felt an immense pressure.

"Can you tell me how you dodged my Flash Kick?"

"This is also a kind of Haki, Observation Haki. It allows me to sense your movements, further predict and evade your attacks."

"Why didn't you mention this before?!" Borsalino asked with a sneer, as if to say, "You're a bad influence."

"Oh, I forgot," Vidal chuckled, "And it's not too late for you to know now."

"So I advise you to calm down and fight me properly!"

"Perception, anticipation, evasion, but..." Borsalino activated his Devil Fruit ability again, his body rapidly turning into photons.

"There must be some kind of upper limit, right, Vidal?"

[BIU!]

A flash of golden light appeared behind Vidal, and a beam of light attacked at an absurdly fast speed. Vidal's expression changed, as this time the speed was much faster than before.

This guy is finally getting serious!

"Konoha Great Whirlwind!"

Just before the beam of light touched him, Vidal managed to block the attack with his legs using a spinning kick. The two legs, of similar length and emitting golden and green light respectively, clashed head-on in front of him.

[Bang!]

A deafening roar reverberated through the recently quiet central area, the result of the collision between two powerful forces, accompanied by a surging shockwave that swept in all directions.

But this is just the beginning.

Amidst a series of sharp BIUBIU sounds, before the shockwave had completely subsided in the air, golden light reappeared behind Vidal.

[Boom!]

A bare tree trunk, too young to even grow branches and leaves, rose from the ground, shielding Vidal from the beam of light.

The tree snapped, the wood cracked, and the flames and explosion shattered it in an instant. The tree didn't even have a moment to survive before it became a pile of charred, burning pieces.

[Bang! Bang! Bang!]

Having adapted somewhat, Vidal stood still and fiercely fought against the rapidly flashing golden light. His fists and legs had long since transformed into streaks of green, deflecting the beams of light that attacked him time and time again.

Fast, really fast. Borsalino's speed when he gets serious is astonishing. So fast that even with his Observation Haki, he has to concentrate all his energy to deal with him.

What he said earlier was correct; Observation Haki also has its limits, or rather, those limits refer to this person.

When the speed reaches a certain level, even if you sense his movements, you still can't dodge or avoid any attacks.

Otherwise, if simply having Observation Haki could render Borsalino helpless, he wouldn't have become a top-tier fighter in the future!

By the way, have you noticed that there is no word biu in Chinese characters? There is obviously the word , but there is no word biu. This is very troublesome.

There's a character online with the "mouth" radical on top and "again" on the bottom; it looks really good. Everyone, try writing it!
