Kizaru: I Seem to Have Arrived a Little Early
Jhin, Queen, Jack the Drought; Shiryu, Weevil, Gizas Jesus Burgess, Ape King Burns, Katrin Démi, Jinbe; Ashura Doji, Denjiro, Kawamatsu.
The twelve people in total have assembled.
Ichisho, Yamato, and the others stayed behind to oversee the situation.
These twelve people are now considered Moke's strongest fighting force.
Clearly, Moke is really going to go all out this time.
Meanwhile, the Weapon Collector, namely Gyukimaru.
At that moment, he stretched out his hand, and a giant mirror was created. Then, the twelve people walked inside one by one...
That's right, he has become Paramecia Devil Fruit User. This is one of Moke's trump cards; the mirror he gave Jewelry Bonney was created using his ability.
As long as he carries the mirror he creates, he can lead people to find the corresponding mirror within the Mirror-World and walk directly out of the mirror... even if that mirror has already been taken to some corner of the world.
This is why Moke was so determined to obtain this Devil Fruit power. Because with this power, he could simply carry the mirror created by the user with him.
So it wasn't just on his territory; it was directly linked together, forming a unified offense and defense...
Furthermore, this ability can be used to take people to any place in the world and launch large-scale wars.
"Brush"
In the Sabaody Archipelago, a beam of light appeared in the sky, then transformed into a human figure, standing before Moke, Jean Bart, Xiangxianggu, Xiang Xianggu Morley Karasu, Sabo Lindbergh.
All eyes turned to that direction.
Kizaru: "..."
There was an unusual silence. After a long while, he touched his nose and said, "It seems I've arrived too early!"
At the same time, his gaze swept back and forth between the two groups of people: Moke, Jean Bart, Xiang Xianggu, and Sabo, Karasu, Morley, and Lindbergh.
The more Kizaru looked at him, the more serious his expression became. He thought to himself, "The Moke Pirates and Dragon's Revolutionary Army have joined forces?"
Both the Moke Pirates and Dragon's Revolutionary Army are major threats to the World Government. If these two were to join forces, the world would likely be turned upside down.
"Wrong!"
Kizaru's expression changed again.
Neither Moke nor Long are brainless. They are both incredibly shrewd and calculating. It's hard to believe they would act impulsively and cause such a commotion.
It just doesn't seem likely.
Would it have been such a coincidence that Moke and Sabo's groups met on the Sabaody Archipelago if they hadn't planned it beforehand?
They even came together???
What are the odds of this happening?
In contrast, premeditation is more convincing.
Moke looked at the Karasu: "Keep him occupied, don't let him use the telegram to notify the others about the situation here."
The Karasu looked at Sabo, Sabo nodded in agreement. At this point, there was really no other choice but to stand on the same side as Moke.
Regardless of what they are thinking.
"The Crow Link Soul!"
The Karasu transformed their bodies into soot, forming thousands of Karasu that flew rapidly toward Kizaru.
"Karasu? You must be the Logia -type Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User with the Smooth-Smooth Fruit in the Revolutionary Army!"
"I've heard about it before, but this is the first time I've ever seen it... It looks terrifying!"
Kizaru still had that sleazy look, and his tone was laced with sarcasm, making him incredibly irritating.
"The Yasakani no Magatama!"
However, his hands moved swiftly. He immediately activated his ability, and under its influence, the photons flew into the air, transforming into countless dazzling light projectiles.
Kizaru pointed with his finger one last time.
The light blasts in the air seemed to have eyes, heading straight for the Karasu flying towards him.
"Rumble..."
Soon, the ball of light and the Karasu collided violently, creating wave after wave of explosions in the air. These explosions generated strong gusts of wind that swept outwards.
The wind made the clothes on the people present rustle loudly.
The area where the explosion occurred had already been reduced to a sea of fire, demonstrating just how fierce the attacks from both sides were.
When everything returned to calm, the Karasu had returned to human form and was standing on the roof of a small building, facing Kizaru.
At this Karasu, the Kizaru.
"Yo... yo... such fighting spirit, it's a bit scary for this old man!" Kizaru still had that cocky attitude.
Finally, his gaze fell on Moke and Sabo: "What exactly are you two plotting here?... This old man has a real headache!"
"You didn't set a trap here, just waiting for the World Government to send people, did you?"
As he spoke, Kizaru began scanning his surroundings, simultaneously maximizing his Observation Haki, attempting to locate those lying in ambush... After all, in his view, these few people alone were probably insufficient to ambush the World Government's reinforcements.
After all, these two groups used three Celestial Dragons bait.
"Crackling and popping..."
Just then, arcs of electricity crackled across Moke's body, and he transformed into a bolt of lightning before vanishing from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was already in front of Kizaru.
"???"
Kizaru turned his head and looked over, his face wary. He could maintain his usual nonchalant attitude towards Karasu. But Moke... he had to take him seriously; this wasn't their first time fighting.
He was very clear about Moke's strength.
"Captain Moke, you wouldn't be thinking of keeping this old man here, would you!"
Moke waved his hand. "It's not that bad, it's not that bad..."
Kizaru is a slippery guy. So he's never been Moke's target. After all, unless he's willing to fight to the death, you can only stall him at best.
Killing him is extremely difficult.
So, I'm too lazy to bother.
Kizaru: "So what do you mean by this?"
Moke was very frank. "Have you ever heard of 'luring the tiger away from the mountain'?"
"Luring the tiger away from the mountain? What does that mean?" Kizaru, somewhat puzzled.
Moke: "If we bring all of you here, won't the Holy Land be empty?"
Upon hearing this, Kizaru's expression changed drastically.
That's right!
As far as he knew, not only Sora, Sengoku, Garp, Gion, Tokikake would be coming this time, but three of the Five Elders would also be coming in person.
They even brought along the two strongest CP0 teams and the newly developed Seraphim.
At this moment, the Holy Land is at its weakest in terms of defense. It only has two of the Five Elders, some CP0 members, and the ground forces.
Even so, this lineup is still terrifying to other forces.
However, this was the time when the Holy Land's defenses were weakest in hundreds of years.
If we really want to touch the Holy Land, then now is the best time.
Therefore, not only Kizaru, but also Sabo, Karasu, Morley, and Lindbergh were shocked.
The four exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "This guy isn't really going to attack the Holy Land, is he?!"
