Rediat's Astonishing Kick

"We knew you would make a move, but you don't have the ability to save these marines." Xiouyapufu smiled at Borsalino, though he could feel immense pressure from him and knew there was a significant gap between them.

After all, he is destined to become a candidate for Admiral in the navy, and he likely already possesses Admiral combat capabilities.

However, they were officers of the Night Pirates, and they were prepared for Borsalino's attack. Given their disadvantageous position, would the Marine Headquarters simply stand by and watch all the Marines present be wiped out if they did nothing?

This is enough to make the navy wince. With so many troops lost, it will take at least two or three years for them to recover to their original state.

"Is that so?" Although he didn't quite believe it, Borsalino was very wary and felt a great deal of pressure.

Borsalino wouldn't feel this much pressure facing the five officers of the Night Pirates. If he were facing five Marine Vice Admiral from within the Navy, he wouldn't be under such pressure.

However, these are the officers of the Night Pirates, and five of them are Devil Fruit users. With them working together, he cannot afford to be careless.

The situation on the battlefield has become interesting. Borsalino has directly joined the battle. The sea acknowledges Borsalino's strength. With Teach and Rediat gone, how will the Night Pirates cope?

No one in the Night Pirates could match Borsalino.

The navy's intervention was not surprising; otherwise, these naval forces would have been completely annihilated, and it would have been foolish to watch them die.

The Night Pirates were also prepared, with their five officers directly targeting Borsalino, intending to unite against Borsalino. This battle instantly piqued the curiosity of others.

On the other side, "Is that Borsalino? It really is him." Observation Haki the powerful aura that appeared, Rediat glanced at his eyes and saw a golden light in the distance.

Rediat raised an eyebrow, unsurprised.

"Haha, Rediat, now that Admiral candidate has made his move, your Night Pirates can just wait to be wiped out." Atchison, who was fighting Rediat, also noticed Borsalino and, knowing that he had joined their battle, couldn't help but laugh.

"Heh! Where does your confidence come from, Mr. Atchison?" Rediat sneered. His Observation Haki was far superior to Atchison's. Atchison's Observation Haki couldn't even cover the battlefield, while Rediat could clearly sense it.

"Didn't you ever wonder why Vice Admiral Borsalino made a move? I could feel that your navy was utterly powerless against the attacks of our members."

Rediat's words caused Atchison's expression to suddenly change, turning somewhat ugly. He knew the Marine Headquarters' style; if everything was normal and the two sides were evenly matched, the Marine Headquarters would absolutely not allow Borsalino to make a move like this.

Even if they were to intervene, it would be at the very end of the war, when both sides would be exhausted.

This is only the beginning of the war, and it has only been a short time since it started. Given Borsalino's personality, he certainly didn't take the initiative to attack. Since it was an order from the Marine Headquarters, it means that their navy is at an absolute disadvantage and has suffered heavy casualties.

It was precisely because the Night Pirates so powerful that the Navy was unable to withstand them, that Borsalino had to step in to change the situation.

Of course, this was just Atchison's idea; what he didn't expect was that Borsalino's mission was simply to keep more naval soldiers alive.

Therefore, Atchison smiled and said, "So what? With Vice Admiral Borsalino on the other side, the situation on that battlefield will definitely turn around. You pirates will eventually be destroyed by justice."

As he spoke, Atchison transformed into his elemental form and moved rapidly towards Rediat, unleashing a powerful punch imbued with Armament Haki, slamming it down upon Rediat.

The surrounding air was already filled with thick miasma, but Rediat was shrouded in shadow, which shielded him from the miasma. The miasma that had always been effective against Atchison had no effect on Rediat.

Rediat remained unfazed, seemingly anticipating Atchison's punch, and instead raised his foot, sweeping it directly into Atchison's abdomen. Atchison's eyes widened as he flew backward.

The next moment, a terrifying purple slash followed. Rediat swung his sword, unleashing a Great Swordmaster's strike.

Rediat's swordsmanship has not yet reached the level of Great Swordmaster who can cut through anything, but it is very close. Before long, after a few more battles, Rediat will be able to perfect his swordsmanship and break through to become a true Great Swordmaster.

However, such a terrifying slash was enough to make Atchison change color. The sharpness made him feel the danger to his life and knew that he could not withstand it.

Miasma Fruit, Atchison's combat strength is probably at the level of an elite Vice Admiral, perhaps even slightly stronger, but how could he possibly be a match for Rediat?

This is also why Rediat chose Atchison as his opponent. Apart from the fact that Atchison's ability is troublesome and he needs to prevent Atchison from using it on the Night Pirates, a Logia Devil Fruit User alone is not enough to put him under much pressure. Others are no problem for Rediat.

The battle began the moment Nelson teleported the two, but Atchison, who was initially confident, felt immense pressure facing Rediat. With his powerful physique, superior physical skills, overwhelming Haki, and not to mention his powerful Devil Fruit ability, Rediat was strong in every way, without any weaknesses.

Having the ability to easily see through Atchison's thoughts and read minds, Atchison was defeated from the very beginning.

However, Atchison was unaware that Atchison was still struggling to hold on while being suppressed by Rediat, searching for a chance to turn the tables. Little did he know that Rediat knew everything about him and was just toying with him.

The miasma, containing toxins, shrouded the entire forest, which is why the Reporter Bird could not approach the battlefield. Furthermore, the purplish-green miasma also obscured the view, making visibility very low.

This is Atchison's invincible technique, which can easily take down a pirate crew. Most of the pirates who fight him will be poisoned by inhaling miasma during the battle, resulting in a significant reduction in their strength, and then they will die at his hands.

Even Rediat's shadow couldn't completely block out the miasma; after all, Rediat still needed to breathe, especially in battle.

Rediat didn't want to waste time with Atchison, so he unleashed a powerful slash, a massive strike tens of meters high, which split the enveloping miasma in two, causing it to scatter to both sides.

This powerful slash instantly startled the Reporter Bird outside the miasma. Morgans also quickly noticed the scene, stretched out his hand, and pressed a button. The scene then shifted to this side.

Viewers who were eagerly anticipating the battle Night Pirates' executives and "Flash Man" Borsalino were involuntarily tempted to curse when the scene shifted.

But in the next instant, he was captivated by the entire scene. A dazzling, massive purple slash cleaved through the miasma, split the earth, and left a deep ravine in the ground.

The relentless forward slashes landed directly on Atchison had no way to dodge them, even in his elemental form. The sharp impact forced Atchison to immediately unleash his Tekkai, his taut muscles making his body as hard as steel. Simultaneously, Armament Haki covered his body, creating a double defense – Atchison's most powerful defensive measure.

Rediat's slash moved forward rapidly like a bulldozer, and the Reporter Bird quickly shifted its position to resist the terrifying power of the slash.

These Reporter Bird are elites selected by Morgans over the past two years, chosen from among many Reporter Bird. They possess strong professional skills and resilience; each one is a "top-notch pilot."

The camera pans to the massive slash, and some sharp-eyed viewers have already spotted Atchison, who is passively flying backwards while enduring Rediat's attack.

Others were amazed by the strike. Hawk Eyes Mihawk, who was honing his swordsmanship by challenging powerful swordsmen, was immediately struck by the attack and remembered the name Rediat, hoping to challenge him again in the future.

In the South Blue, the Red-Haired Pirates, who had already traveled there, thought, "Haha, I really want to fight him." Shanks touched his Straw Hat, his eyes fixed intently on the sword in the image, his hand unconsciously gripping the hilt of his Famous Sword, "Griffin."

"That won't do. The Night Pirates have risen too quickly, and their overall strength is now so formidable. We should take advantage of the time while the Night Pirates are drawing the Navy's attention to quickly become stronger." The vice-captain, Ben Beckman, looked at the video with a serious expression. "As a pirate crew formed around the same time, 'Dark Emperor' Teach is truly a terrifying man. He started looking for powerful and potentially promising allies very early on."

Those powerful Great Swordmaster, watching this sword strike, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, realizing that a young Great Swordmaster would soon be born.

In their eyes, it was obvious that Rediat's swordsmanship was only half a step away from becoming Great Swordmaster, and it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the level of Great Swordmaster.

Rediat moved again, his speed incredibly fast, transforming into a shadow, instantly surpassing the strike he had unleashed, and appearing behind Atchison.

A powerful whip kick, imbued with Armament Haki and the Shadow Power, struck. Atchison tried to dodge, spitting out blood as he withstood the impact of the strike, attempting to shift his position.

However, Rediat had anticipated all his actions, and this kick, which was almost like blasting the air, suddenly struck Atchison directly in the back.

The immense force seemed to vibrate and distort the air itself; the intense wind pressure caused Atchison to cough up blood and his face to contort in pain.

Caught between two attacks, Atchison was severely injured. The air exploded, the ground trembled, cracks appeared, and air currents surged.

With a deafening roar, the earth shattered, and massive boulders rapidly rose up. Under Rediat's powerful kick, Atchison's defenses were completely breached.

The flowing, domineering Haki and monstrous power shattered Atchison's spine. Atchison's face contorted in pain as he let out a scream, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, three of Atchison's ribs broke in his chest. Atchison was powerless to resist, blood flowing from his mouth, and his body covered in wounds.

Rediat's kick was incredibly powerful.

Atchison's body was kicked away by Rediat, along with the slash that Atchison Rediat had unleashed.

Rediat's slash was kicked directly into the sea nearby. The massive slash landed on the ocean, instantly splitting the entire sea surface in two, extending more than a kilometer.

Atchison's body flew a thousand meters in an instant, crashing through countless trees along the way. His body sank into the ground, but he continued to fly backward for a hundred meters before slamming hard into a mountain.

With a loud bang, dust billowed up, and Atchison smashed a hole in the mountain.

This scene stunned everyone.

"What just happened?" Some people stared wide-eyed, swallowing hard as they tried to suppress their shock.

Was the Admiral candidate instantly killed?

Aside from the powerful figures, even Marine Vice Admiral could only catch a glimpse of Rediat 'Rediat shadow as he made that move.

Those ordinary people, those who weren't strong enough, couldn't see it at all. They only felt a blur before their eyes, and Atchison was sent flying backward by the huge slash.

However, that doesn't matter, they have high-tech cheat codes.

"Don't rush, let's watch the replay." Holding the microphone, Morgans made his move at the crucial moment. He hadn't seen it clearly either, only catching a glimpse of Rediat's figure, which left him somewhat unwilling.

As the President, Morgans was already very proficient in using this new function, and he had already adjusted it in a short time. If it took too long, it would delay the viewing of the upcoming battle.

The replay, combined with slow motion—a full ten times slower—showed Rediat's movements, faster than his own slash, a powerful kick landing on Atchison from both sides.

This kick not only sent Atchison flying, but also deflected his own slash.

Such a terrifying slash, and it was just kicked away like that? Some Swordmaster couldn't help but shed tears upon seeing it.

What's even more terrifying is Rediat's speed—true top speed. Rediat moves like a shadow, encountering no resistance whatsoever.

Only then did they truly realize Rediat's power, a monstrous strength on par with Teach.

The scene returns, the smoke and dust gradually dissipate, revealing Atchison's disheveled figure. As Marine Vice Admiral, he did not collapse, but his body was severely injured, and miasma emanated from him.

His entire body was embedded in the rock, feeling weak and panting heavily.
