The deep sea!
"That bastard!" Kizaru was disgusted by Haku's act of unleashing a powerful attack before leaving!
The main point is that, faced with this kind of attack, he himself has the ability to instantly escape the attack range of the super-sized Getsuga Tensho!
However, the Marine warship and Marine on board next to him are about to suffer.
With no other option, he could only conjure an even thicker and larger Heavenly Cloud Sword in his hand.
Fujitora couldn't see Haku's attack, but he could sense the energy contained in the slash Haku unleashed before disappearing.
He sheathed his Walking Stick Sword and assumed a stance for using iaido!
"Yasakani no Magatama!" Kizaru roared, and the Heavenly Cloud Sword in his hand instantly released countless golden light waves. These light waves were like dense arrows, heading towards the Getsuga Tensho released by Haku.
Fujitora, his eyes tightly closed, seemed to be engaged in some kind of mysterious communication with the surrounding Gravity Field. He could sense the powerful energy wave approaching, but he couldn't see it directly at the moment. However, this didn't prevent him from reacting.
"Gravity Sword - Fierce Tiger!" Fujitora roared, and the invisible Gravity Field in his hand instantly condensed into the shape of a fierce tiger, which pounced forward. This tiger seemed to be made of gravity, with astonishing power, and together with Kizaru's beam, it met Haku's Getsuga Tensho.
The two attacks collided in mid-air, instantly unleashing a dazzling light and a powerful shockwave. The entire Sabaody Archipelago seemed to tremble under this force.
After these three forces canceled each other out in the air, the entire Sabaody Archipelago returned to calm.
Kizaru smirked and said, "That bastard's pretty fast!"
Fujitora sheathed his Walking Stick Sword and said to Kizaru, "Admiral Borsalino, what should we do now? Should we continue towards the island?"
At that moment, Sentomaru, carrying his giant axe, approached from the Sabaody Archipelago at the Harbor.
He had already heard Fujitora's question, so he said directly, "There's no need to go to the island; the Straw Hat Pirates has already entered the sea."
Kizaru, feigning indifference, said, "What a pity! If it weren't for Haku stopping us, that Straw Hat Kid might have been arrested by us."
Sentomaru had already discerned the hidden meaning in his uncle's words; Kizaru had already decided to pin everything on Haku.
"How are we going to explain this to the Fleet Admiral?" Kizaru and Sentomaru both turned to look in Fujitora's direction.
Fujitora's straightforwardness at this moment surprised both uncle and nephew.
Kizaru thought for a moment, then looked at Sentomaru and said, "It's too early to go back now. Why don't you take some men into the island and arrest some Pirates to bring on board? That way, we won't return empty-handed!"
Fujitora thought it made sense and nodded in agreement. So he volunteered to go and help.
After Sentomaru and Fujitora left, Kizaru took out Den Den Mushi and communicated with Akainu Fleet Admiral Akainu, who was still in G1.
Hundreds of meters underwater!
It had only been a short time since Haku finished her battle, and Luffy and the others had just descended to this position.
Their goal was to reach Fish-Man Island. Although they had just escaped from the Navy's encirclement, Luffy's eyes were still full of determination and excitement, as if no difficulty could stop them from moving forward.
"Luffy, is Haku alright? If I'm not mistaken, he's being fought by two equally strong opponents." Sanji unconsciously took out a cigarette, wanting to take a puff, but suddenly realized that it wasn't appropriate to do so in the coated ship.
At most, he'd just put the cigarette in his mouth!
"Yes, I believe him." Luffy nodded without hesitation.
Nami observed the underwater scenery outside and said, "I don't think we need to worry about Haku! You know, this guy can even beat Four Emperors). I don't know what he ate to grow up like this. He's not that much older than us, yet he's ridiculously strong!"
"You, as the person in question, are making them worry about you like this?" Robin, sitting in the chair, said with a smile to Haku had been standing in front of him for a while.
Haku shrugged and said, "I'm more curious about when these slowpokes will realize I'm here than whether they'll worry."
After Haku spoke, Luffy and the others all turned to look in the direction Robin was pointing. They saw Haku sitting leisurely in a transparent bubble chair, with some snacks and drinks beside her, which Haku had taken out from her System Space! It made it seem as if Haku was enjoying a picnic underwater.
"Haku! When did you get here?" Luffy exclaimed in surprise, then smiled happily. "Thank goodness, you're alright!"
Haku smiled and waved her hand, saying, "How could I possibly be in trouble? I'm very strong."
"But I'm still curious? You clearly didn't board the ship, and you were fighting far away when we went out to sea. How did you end up here?" Sanji asked curiously.
Haku smiled slightly and explained, "This is one of my special abilities, allowing me to teleport to any place for a short period of time. Of course, it requires some preparation and has limitations, but it's not difficult for me."
"That's amazing!" Luffy and the others exclaimed in admiration.
Haku shook her head and said, "Instead of focusing on me, you should focus on the Sea! You know, the deep sea is countless times more dangerous than land! Some timid people are prone to developing thalassophobia in the deep sea!"
Chopper, being a doctor, asked curiously, "Haku, what is thalassophobia? Is it a medical condition? And what in the deep sea do we need to be especially careful about?"
Haku took a deep sip of her drink and then said leisurely, "The first question is about thalassophobia. It's a type of phobia, and generally it's closely related to the patient's past fearful experiences. People with this phobia often feel fear because they are afraid they cannot escape their situation."
"The second problem is that the deep sea is teeming with unknown creatures and dangers, the most terrifying of which are the enormous creatures known as 'Sea King.' They are massive in size and incredibly strong, some even capable of destroying entire islands. Moreover, the water pressure in the deep sea is another challenge you will face; without specialized equipment, it will be difficult for you to remain in the deep sea for extended periods."
Luffy blurted out without thinking, "They're just Sea King! I'll just blow them all away!"
Haku chuckled and said, "Are you sure you only encountered one Sea King? And have you forgotten that you can drown in the Sea!"
