The Acting Monkey! A Call from the Gorosei

The man was wearing a gray striped suit and a top hat; his face could almost be described as sleazy.

He emanated a faint light, and when he extended his right hand, his fingertips shimmered with a dazzling light.

"Laser!"

A blinding bright yellow light fell from the sky, heading towards the giants below like a falling meteor.

Meanwhile, the giants, immersed in their reunion, were completely unaware of this.

The blinding laser beam possessed extraordinary penetrating power; even the strongest bodies of giants could not withstand its slender rays.

Giants! Crisis is imminent!

But.

A brilliant golden ray came from afar and instantly collided with the Laser Beam.

Boom!!

A brilliant and intense explosion bloomed in the sky, like a dazzling golden rose, instantly illuminating the night sky.

"Oh oh!"

The man who had come from afar stared in astonishment, turning his head to look into the distance with a strange exclamation.

In the sky above, a golden figure spread its wings and took flight.

"What?"

The giants on the ground only then realized something was wrong.

Dorry and Brogy both looked up and noticed the figure floating in the sky.

Who is that?

They didn't know each other.

But that didn't stop them from instantly becoming serious.

Meanwhile, the navy and special agents on Enies Lobby were already cheering.

"It's Vice Admiral Borsalino!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Ian had already spread his wings and flown over the giants.

He had already entered Beastman Mode and looked down at the giants below.

"Dorry, Brogy, take your companions and go first."

He looked up at the man floating not far in front of him. "A rather troublesome fellow has arrived."

Kizaru.

Of the Three Admirals, he is the only one who has not yet fought against him.

Now it has finally appeared before me.

That's right, only this guy could get here in such a short time.

"Quite troublesome?"

Dorry and Brogy exchanged a glance.

I never expected this guy who suddenly appeared would receive such high praise from Ian!

That's Ian!

"Understood!"

Dorry nodded heavily, "I'm sorry to trouble you again!"

"Nothing."

Ian chuckled. "We're friends, aren't we?"

"Crackling sounds! That's right! We're friends!"

Brogy laughed heartily.

Without further hesitation, the two giants, along with their two henchmen, quickly ran towards the port.

Meanwhile, aboard the Golden Flying Dragon at the port.

"Borsalino, Devil Fruit User, the last candidate for Admiral."

Jack's expression was quite serious.

"This is no easy opponent."

Black Maria also had concerns.

Everyone on the high seas knows that the reason why the three candidates for Admiral in the navy have not yet become Admiral is simply because Sengoku has not yet been promoted to Admiral Fleet Admiral. The strength of the three of them is already at the level of Admiral.

This is a truly formidable enemy that even Ian must be wary of.

"Should we go help Lord Ian?"

Drake said solemnly.

"No need! Ian won't lose!"

Hancock shouted, "We just need to follow Ian's orders!"

Beside him, Yamato was still muttering something unpleasantly.

She wants to fight Kizaru too!

Before setting out, Ian instructed them to wait until the giants boarded the ship before leaving.

After all, the opponent is Kizaru, so numbers might not be of much use and would only leave openings in vain.

In the sky.

"Oh! Ian of the Scorched Sky!"

Kizaru exclaimed in a strange, slow voice, "So young, yet so strong, like a monster."

Ian sized up the guy.

The most enigmatic man among the Three Admirals.

You say he often holds back? When he wanted to kill Vegapunk Bonney on Warhead Island, he showed no mercy, not even a tremor in his hand.

You said he was completely cold-blooded and ruthless. His expression was complicated when he killed Zephyr, and after killing Vegapunk, he simply took the opportunity to lie down on the ship and refused to get up.

"Could you please not get in the way?"

Ian said calmly, "Our goal has been achieved, and we will be leaving now."

"Oh? Really?"

Kizaru's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with delight, "That's wonderful! I've been having a real headache fighting a monster like you."

However, the guy suddenly looked worried again, "But, having come all this way, if I don't get any results, I don't think I can explain myself."

"So, young Ian, can we make a deal?"

He said, "How about you hand over the heads of those giants to me?"

Ian sighed. "Then there's no point in talking about it."

Kizaru scratched his face. "I'm at a loss too."

In the next instant, Kizaru's body transformed into light; he was about to Elementalization and begin to refract.

Only.

Laugh!

A beam of fire shot out, instantly punching a hole in Kizaru's body.

The scorching rays fell obliquely, landing in the courtroom in front of the Tower of Law, causing a massive explosion that shattered the courtroom into pieces.

Ian raised an eyebrow.

This guy's reaction was pretty quick.

He instantly tore a hole in his body, avoiding the attack.

That attack wasn't just flames; the flames, which had gained physical form under the effect of Return to Life, were wreathed in Haki.

"Huh?"

Kizaru was somewhat surprised.

Ian's attack just now did not hurt him. After all, his Observation Haki is not weak, and he can certainly react to that level of attack.

But.

That beam of fire did indeed interrupt his Elementalization movement!

Kizaru narrowed his eyes slightly.

The next instant, his body transformed into light once more.

However, the fiery rays struck again, once more interrupting Kizaru's plan to deflect them downwards to attack the Titans.

Ian's expression remained calm.

Do you think I'm King Luffy? Without fast, long-range attacks, I can't stop you from dodging and weaving?

Elementalization also takes time.

Otherwise, Kizaru wouldn't have had his face slashed by Rayleigh's sword in the original work, and Red-Haired wouldn't have had a knife held to his neck.

High-speed long-range attacks, combined with the Observation Haki Future Sight, are enough to suppress Kizaru's mobility to a certain extent.

"Wow, that's truly amazing Observation Haki."

Kizaru scratched his head, somewhat sighing, "It seems like we can't get past this."

He glanced down and saw that in just a couple of seconds, the giants had reached the port area and were almost upon the Golden Flying Dragon.

We can't get close anymore.

There's no other way, let's use our ultimate weapon.

Kizaru crossed his arms in front of his chest, "Yasakani no Magatama!"

In the next instant, countless points of light rained down like a storm, completely engulfing everything in the harbor.

These laser projectiles possess extraordinary penetrating power; if they were allowed to fall, the giants and the Golden Flying Dragon would likely be riddled with holes in the next second.

"Flame Vortex!"

Ian made a grasping motion with both hands, and golden flames burst forth from between his claws, surging up like a waterfall flowing backward.

Then, with a flick of his wrists, flames, like molten gold, surged downwards, and golden waves swept across the sky in an instant, completely obscuring the entire night sky.

Golden light projectiles continuously struck the golden torrent, triggering wave after wave of violent explosions, but they were unable to break through the tide of flames.

The sky suddenly turned golden, and the intense heat made the entire Enies Lobby seem to melt.

The naval and government agents on the island below were struggling to breathe; with each breath, they felt as if their lungs were being burned.

"Hmm--"

Kizaru said with a worried look, "This is troublesome!"

I can't get past this.

Below, the giants have returned to the Golden Flying Dragon.

"Ready to set sail!"

Jack shouted as he looked up at the battle in the sky.

The massive ship slowly started moving and headed away from Enies Lobby.

If we delay a little longer, it should be about time.

Ian thought to himself.

In the next instant, he transformed into a shooting star and shot forward, with raging flames erupting to increase his speed.

This is a rare opportunity, so let's have some fun with Kizaru.

"This is really a headache."

Kizaru sighed, not having time to think too much. If his opponent was Ian, he dared not relax even slightly.

With a swift pull, a lightsaber materialized in his hands. "Ama no Murakumo!"

Boom!!

Seeing Kizaru draw his sword, Ian also drew a Flame Sword in return, and the two swords clashed together in the next moment.

Dark Inazuma suddenly flashed in all directions!

Accompanying this were leaping flames and flickering points of light.

Such powerful Haki!

This was Ian's first thought.

Kizaru's Armament Haki is incredibly strong!

They are all significantly better than me.

He's almost on par with that guy Ochoku.

In fact, although the Three Admirals are all famous for their Devil Fruit abilities, they are all masters of Haki.

While ability isn't the answer to every version update, they are actively following the updates themselves, so let's acknowledge their foresight in recognizing the current version.

"Wow! What amazing power!"

Kizaru's body transformed into light and shot backward.

He was also deeply moved.

Ian's Haki is already quite exaggerated, considering he's only fifteen years old.

But what's even more astonishing is his physical strength!

That's overwhelmingly powerful!

Ian flapped his wings in pursuit, and the next instant he clashed with Kizaru again.

The two engaged in a fierce battle in the sky, one wielding Flame Sword and the other a sword of light.

Haki Inazuma bolts shot out continuously, and gusts of wind swept across the sky one after another.

"It's completely deadlocked!"

Below, on the Enies Lobby Main Island, several CP9 members who had just left the battlefield observed the battle in the sky, their voices filled with amazement.

"Even Vice Admiral Borsalino couldn't handle Ian of the Scorched Sky?"

As the fight went on, a strange feeling stirred within Ian.

Kizaru probably wasn't holding back, otherwise he wouldn't have felt such immense pressure.

However, this guy seems to have completely given up on pursuing the Golden Flying Dragon.

It's like procrastinating here.

They fought very hard, but it was a real head-on confrontation between the two sides, with no intention of using any alternative tactics.

Continuing to fight like this will likely yield no results.

He can't possibly assume that his combat strength far surpasses his own, or that he can defeat him in a short time, can he?

This guy--

Ian narrowed his eyes.

"Oh dear, it's almost out of sight."

Kizaru glanced at the sea briefly, then made a show of admiration.

In the short time it took for the two of them to exchange blows, the Golden Flying Dragon had already sailed far away, almost disappearing at the edge of the horizon.

Are you reminding me?

Ian's lips twitched slightly.

Kizaru unleashed a powerful sword strike, the sheer force of which sent Ian flying. "I don't understand what you're saying, Ian."

"Yata no Kagami!"

Kizaru emitted a trail of light that extended towards the distant Golden Flying Dragon.

At the same time, his body had transformed into light, Luffy of light.

Ian's eye twitched.

You turned into Elementalization right in front of me? You really don't treat me like a human being.

The Flame Sword in his hand extended, then crashed down with a deafening roar.

Boom!

The path of that light was instantly severed.

Also struck was Kizaru, who was shrouded in the light.

"Oh!"

He screamed and transformed into a beam of light, plummeting onto Enies Lobby.

Boom!!

The light crashed to the ground, triggering a massive explosion.

Ian sighed.

That's what a veteran actor is like.

I understand, Vice Admiral Borsalino.

Pirate martial arts tradition emphasizes stopping short of causing serious injury.

Without further hesitation, Ian turned around, flapped his wings, and flew away like a shooting star across the sky, chasing after the Golden Flying Dragon.

Below, on Enies Lobby.

The edge of the huge crater created by the explosion.

Kizaru, whose clothes were spotless, took out Den Den Mushi and slowly dialed a number.

Borsalino, how's the situation on your end?

The urgent voice of the Marine Fleet Admiral came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Sora,"

Kizaru said apologetically, "Ian is as strong as a monster, there's nothing I can do about him."

"The Golden Flying Dragon has already left. Should I give chase?"

"Pursue?"

Kong paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said, "No need. Besides Ian, there are several powerful officers on the Golden Flying Dragon. What can you do by chasing after it alone?"

"Let's stay on Enies Lobby and organize the rescue work."

"Learn."

Kizaru hung up the phone.

He sighed softly.

Continuing to argue won't get us anywhere, so why risk our lives, right?

Wouldn't it be better to just go to work peacefully and without worry?

The Golden Flying Dragon.

Ian descended from the sky.

"Clap clap clap clap! Welcome back, Ian!"

The giant greeted Ian first.

"How are you Ian!"

Yamato rushed over as well, filled with curiosity, "The fight with that guy?"

Ian's expression was somewhat strange.

After a long pause, he finally said, "Well, I feel quite accomplished."

"A sense of accomplishment?"

Yamato tilted his head.

"After all,"

Ian exclaimed, "I've witnessed the birth of an Oscar winner."

Ian's friends were completely baffled by what he was saying, wondering what was wrong with him.

"But thank you so much this time, Ian!"

Dorry shouted, "Without you, I really don't know what would have happened!"

He knew very well that the shimmering figure who arrived later was someone they couldn't handle.

"Thank you, Boss Ian!"

The two giants Kashi and Oimo, also bowed respectfully to Ian.

Ian smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, like I said, it's just friends helping each other out."

"Crackling sound! That's right!"

Brogy shouted, "Ian, you are our friend, a friend of the Giant Warrior Pirates, a friend of our Giant tribe!"

Ian's lips curled into a smile.

"Oh, right,"

He suddenly remembered something, "About the outcome of your match."

"Oh?"

Dorry and Brogy immediately lowered their heads, their eyes gleaming with the same burning light. "Who won and who lost?"

Ian did a quick mental calculation, "Brogy killed a total of --"

"Brubrubru"

The Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

"Um?"

Ian was somewhat surprised and said to the two giants, "Wait a moment."

He took out Den Den Mushi).

Before the call even connected, his eyebrows had already risen.

Hold the Den Den Mushi away, then answer it.

"Ian! What the hell are you doing, you bastard?!"

An angry roar came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "Do you want to start a full-scale war with the government?"

Ian chuckled, "Don't get so worked up—"

"The Gorosei."
