A golden light shot towards Dressrosa at lightning speed, and moments later, a lewd figure materialized in the sky above Dressrosa.

"Honestly, I finally got a vacation, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku called me over again..."

"Tangle the Four Emperors Four Emperors? Are they so easy to deal with? After this mission is over, I definitely want a vacation and a raise!"

Muttering to himself, the Marine Admiral named Kizaru glanced down and saw Charlotte Linlin charging forward like a wild boar, knocking down all sorts of corn-shaped buildings in Dressrosa.

In addition, there was a fragmented stone giant lying on the ground, whose human shape could still be barely discerned. Its entire lower body had been smashed to pieces, and it was currently recovering.

That was Pica, struggling to recover. The stone giant created from the Stone-Stone Fruit was no match for Charlotte Linlin's Steel Balloon; it was no better than cotton and was easily crushed to pieces.

If Charlotte Linlin hadn't been in a frenzied state and hadn't used her Observation Haki to lock onto her target, Pica would have been turned into mincemeat long ago.

Even so, in the process of constantly rebuilding the stone giant and then constantly being shattered, the Stone-Stone Devil Fruit User exhausted his strength and could only hide in the stone to eke out a living.

As for the Sugar he had high hopes for...

"I won't go, I'd rather die!! I'll be eaten!! That monster woman will eat me!! Waaaaaah! I don't want to go, I don't want to be eaten!"

Lao G, Jora, Buffalo, and Baby 5 all looked helpless as Sugar rolled on the ground, crying and throwing a tantrum.

Sugar is Devil Fruit User ate the Hobby-Hobby Fruit- Hobby-Hobby Fruit, which is a Devil Fruit with incredibly powerful abilities.

Its function is to turn any person or animal it comes into contact with into a toy and erase everyone's memory of it, even its existence, somewhat reminiscent of the Unrestricted Spell in Shakugan no Shana.

However, although this near-rule-based ability is powerful, it is similar to most rule-based Devil Fruit. This Devil Fruit does not enhance the user's combat power at all. In fact, because its ability is too abnormal, it actually reduces it quite a bit.

For example, Sugar, who ate the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, remained around ten years old in age and mentality. Naturally, a ten-year-old girl could not be expected to have the courage to confront Charlotte Linlin, the Queen of Horror who could terrify even ordinary people.

Of course, it was also fortunate that these people didn't bring Sugar along. Otherwise, given Sugar's mental fortitude—she could faint from Usopp's exaggerated facial expressions—she would probably have fainted without saying a word upon seeing the crazed Charlotte Linlin, which would have caused Dressrosa, which was already in complete chaos, to collapse.

Just then, the ground behind them rippled with water, and Pique, the Devil Fruit User, emerged from it:

"What are you all still doing here? The Young Master just gave the order for everyone to get on the Flamingo Ship and leave Dressrosa immediately!"

"Leave?! Are you suggesting we abandon the entire Dressrosa?"

Lao G was stunned for a moment, then asked incredulously.

Pique nodded, then spoke:

"That's right, the Young Master has already requested reinforcements from the Navy! Soon, Marine Admiral will arrive here. With the combined fighting power of the Marine Admiral and the Four Emperors, Dressrosa will likely be difficult to defend. Those of us staying here will all be in great danger!"

As he spoke, Pique glanced around, then frowned:

"Where's Violet!? Without her Glint-Glint Fruit ability, it'll be hard to find her other family members!"

"Violet? I don't know her! Isn't she with the Young Master?"

The Donquixote Family members looked at each other in bewilderment, only to realize that none of them knew anything about Violet's whereabouts.

"There's no other way, let's ignore that for now and head to the Flamingo Ship! Buffalo, you come with me. The Young Master is seriously injured, so you'll be in charge of transporting him!"

Just as everyone was discussing this, a loud bang was heard, and a golden flash descended from the sky, like Deity thunderbolt, crashing down on the roaring demon king on the earth.

A violent shockwave spread outwards, and the various buildings in Dressrosa were blown about like pieces of paper in a storm, the earth trembled continuously, and the entire island seemed to be experiencing an earthquake.

"Oh no! Everyone, let's get out of here! The Marine Admiral has already engaged that monster woman!"

The violent shockwave, mixed with small pebbles, left the group covered in dust and dirt. Seeing the situation, they didn't say anything more and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

At the entrance to the underground prison of the royal palace, after finally clearing away the rubble and ruins, Violet saw the opening in front of her and a smile appeared on her face.

Then a violent tremor came. Looking at the cracked ground and the crumbling, almost collapsing underground prison, Violet's smile changed drastically, and she rushed inside.

As for Vegapunk and his group, who were almost at the center of the battlefield, they were quite surprised to see the suddenly appearing Marine Admiral.

"It looks like there might be some unexpected gains this time!"

Looking at Kizaru, who had transformed into a golden light and was flashing everywhere in the sky, Vegapunk smiled.

Compared to a certain Flying Thunder God ninja, this guy might truly deserve the title of Yellow Flash... well, the sleazy version.

In some ways, Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit is the closest to Vegapunk's Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

However, Vegapunk rarely uses the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit- Rumble-Rumble Fruit, often using it as a supplement and power source for the Electromagnetic Fruit.

This is unavoidable. As a scientist, it's perfectly normal for Vegapunk to choose the Electromagnetic Ability, which has greater potential, more comprehensive abilities, and even direct access to the fundamental forces of the world, over the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which has a strong direct attack power.

Vegapunk, who has developed Electromagnetic Ability to a certain extent, could even imitate the Glint-Glint Fruit and use laser attacks. Of course, compared to other methods, it would not be cost-effective and would not be very meaningful.

Regardless, as light is a form of electromagnetic wave, Vegapunk was quite interested in this user of the Flash ability.

"I was originally thinking of waiting until later, but now it seems like I can get my hands on this test subject ahead of time!"

"Hancock, I'll take care of this guy! My Devil Fruit ability is perfect against him!"

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Glint-Glint Fruit are not much different, but Electromagnetic Ability developed to an extremely high level is a natural counter to the Glint-Glint Fruit. Kizaru can be said to be Vegapunk's best test subject.

"Honey, are you going to deal with this lewd monkey?"

Hancock looked up at Kizaru with a disdainful expression.

"In that case, I'll take care of that fat pig!"

As Kizaru shifted through the sky, unleashing golden lasers at Charlotte Linlin, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

To be honest, although Kizaru was initially quite resistant to this mission, after arriving here, he found that Charlotte Linlin didn't seem to be anything scary.

Although Charlotte Linlin seems to have recovered quite well now, she actually suffered a near-fatal injury just two days ago.

Even with her strong recovery ability, she can only recover about 70-80% at most, and she still has a lot of hidden injuries accumulated in her body.

Furthermore, due to the rapid recovery from her injuries, Charlotte Linlin's stamina has been largely depleted. To someone of Doflamingo's caliber, she appears as an unstoppable demon god, but to someone of similar strength like Kizaru, her current condition is far too poor.

Moreover, the Charlotte Pirates are not currently with Charlotte Linlin, all the Homies around her have been wiped out, and she has completely gone mad due to Hancock's provocation. It can be said that now is the best time to deal with her.

The destructive power she displays now may not be much different, but in the eyes of experts of the same level, the threat has dropped by more than half.

Kizaru even believed that if he just dragged this out for a day or two, he was absolutely confident that he could wear down this Soul Queen until she was completely exhausted.

At this point, Kizaru got excited too. If he asked me to fight the Soul Queen in her prime, I would definitely shake my head and refuse. But if he asked me to fight the mentally unstable Big Mom is now isolated, seriously injured, and mentally ill, then I, the Admiral, would definitely strike hard!

If I can defeat this Four Emperors, I'll get tons of vacation time and bonuses! It will also make me famous. Nobody will care how I actually defeated this Four Emperors; they'll just see that I, a Marine Admiral Four Emperors, easily slew him!

Just as Kizaru was feeling smug, his Observation Haki suddenly sensed a silver Inazuma appear, Inazuma then came behind him and condensed into a human figure.

With a whoosh, intense lightning was condensed into a sword blade, mixed with strong Armament Haki, and slashed straight at Kizaru's back!

Despite his surprise, Kizaru remained calm. Although he was incredibly slippery in battle, bullying the weak and backing down when faced with tough opponents, it didn't mean that he, as Marine Admiral, lacked combat experience!

Faced with the lightning blade infused with Haki, Kizaru immediately transformed his body into his own element in an attempt to dodge the attack. However, the lightning blade, infused with Haki, rapidly expanded, almost forming the shape of a large cleaver, and crashed down.

Even more terrifying, Kizaru could feel his elemental transformation becoming incredibly slow, as if some special force was interfering with him, making it impossible for him to react for a moment.

Pfft!

"Ugh!"

With a painful groan, the lightning blade struck Kizaru's back, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound. Kizaru, his face contorted in agony, managed to escape being cleaved in two thanks to his superhuman reflexes at the last moment, but he still suffered a considerable injury.

"Who are you?! What kind of ability is that? Why are you blocking my elemental transformation?"

Standing on the rooftop, Kizaru's lewd old face finally revealed a serious expression.

Kizaru doesn't care if another Marine Admiral or Sea Emperor- level powerhouse appears in the world. That's a problem for Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the World Government to worry about. He can just focus on being a soldier and living off the government's salary.

But he cares that there are opponents in this world who can restrain his Devil Fruit abilities!

The former might threaten the situation at sea, while the latter could threaten his own life! Therefore, Kizaru, who was usually glib and unwilling to take on tough challenges, showed a serious expression for the first time, and even unleashed a terrifying killing intent.

"I won't tell you my name. As for why I prevented you from transforming into your elemental form? That's because I'm Devil Fruit User!"

"Don't you understand? Light is also a type of electromagnetic wave! Naturally, when you become elemental, I can directly manipulate your physical body!"

Don't let Kizaru's seemingly ignorant appearance fool you. In the original story, he was the leader of the Marine Science Unit. Although the most important thing for the Marine Science Unit was to be good at fighting, being able to become the leader of this unit shows that Kizaru did have some understanding of scientific knowledge.

Kizaru was well aware of the relationship between light and electromagnetic waves, but he was also very clear that those who could develop Electromagnetic Ability to this extent were extremely rare, practically nonexistent.

After all, this is different from ability Awakening. Every Devil Fruit user develops their Devil Fruit ability in a completely different way. Only those with extremely high scientific literacy would develop the Electromagnetic Fruit's ability in this direction.

If it were some ignorant and incompetent guy, he could basically only develop the Electromagnetic Fruit into a Metal Control Fruit. Even if he was a little smarter, he could only develop something like an electromagnetic cannon. Even if the fruit's power Awakening, it would only have a higher power and a wider range.

Knowledge that you didn't know in the first place can't be instantly understood just because you 'Awakening to it. If you don't even know the direction, then no matter how much you develop it, it's meaningless.

"Have the top scientists eaten this fruit, which is most suitable for scientists to develop and utilize?"

Kizaru's eyes gradually sharpened, and his killing intent surged.

"And... you actually used elementalization just now? Could it be that you can develop the Electromagnetic Fruit to the point of self-ionization?"

"You guess!"

Vegapunk, holding the Inazuma sword derived from the Raikiri Ninjutsu, smiled faintly and spoke to Kizaru.

"Phew... Looks like I need to find a new target!"

Kizaru glanced at Charlotte Linlin, who had now quieted down, and at Charlotte Linlin Smoothie, Katakuri, Hancock standing in front of her, and muttered to himself.

Not knowing the relationship between these people, nor seeing Charlotte Linlin's slightly trembling body, Kizaru thought that Charlotte Linlin's mind had recovered somewhat after seeing the arrival of the two Charlottes, which was why she calmed down.

Moreover, judging from Charlotte Linlin's quiet appearance, she seems to have lost all will to fight, which makes it easier for me to take action against this Devil Fruit User can restrain me!
