Kaido Is Troublesome? Shui Di Is Even More Troublesome!

Kizaru stepped on the Droplet, stopping steadily mid-air, completely silent!

This was the characteristic of the Droplet's recoil-driven flight, and coupled with the fact that Kizaru was a light-element human, it didn'Golden Divine Punishment stir up any air currents at all.

Yet the actions of Aokiji, Garp, and the others looking up also caught the attention of the marine soldiers, Kaido, and Akainu.

The focus of attention instantly gathered on Kizaru's side.

"It's Admiral Kizaru!"

The gathering of the Three Admirals immediately sparked cheers among the marine soldiers.

In the past, such an occurrence of the Three Admirals gathering was extremely rare since they each had their own responsibilities to attend to. During Kaido's provocations in the previous few instances, the Three Admirals had not been present at the same time. Now that Kizaru had appeared, the marines were naturally excited.

Meanwhile, Aokiji, Garp, Sengoku up in the fortress loft, and the Vice Admirals in the know all wore expressions of joy.

It wasn'Golden Divine Punishment because of Kizaru's arrival, but rather because of the Droplet at Kizaru's feet!

Droplet-shaped, with a rounded head and a very sharp tail, its surface was an extremely smooth, total-reflection mirror, pure and ethereal, like a glittering sprite!

"The Droplet! Kizaru brought the Droplet back!"

Garp said somewhat excitedly with a grin.

A magical weapon like the Droplet left too deep an impression on everyone, especially its super-strong exterior defense. Garp believed that even he himself couldn'Golden Divine Punishment break it.

Yet news of the Droplet wasn'Golden Divine Punishment known to everyone. The marine soldiers didn'Golden Divine Punishment know, and neither did Kaido, who was curiously gazing at Kizaru's feet, assuming it was just liquid.

"The Three Admirals are all gathered... then this will be even more fun. All of you come on together!"

Afterwards, Kaido didn'Golden Divine Punishment take the Droplet to heart. Upholding violence, he instead continued to show off his infuriating, provocative swagger.

"Oh? Drunk and coming to make trouble again, huh, Kaido."

Kizaru touched his head, somewhat surprised. He hadn'Golden Divine Punishment expected to encounter such a thing the moment he returned.

"Borsalino, have the Droplet attack!"

At this moment, up in the Marine Fortress loft, Sengoku narrowed his eyes and decisively chose to let the Droplet make a move.

The Three Admirals making a move against Kaido? Or directly letting the Droplet test whether it could go toe-to-toe with a Four Emperors in combat.

"The Droplet?"

Kaido felt perplexed in his heart, hearing this name for the first time. Without even thinking, he knew it referred to the thing at Kizaru's feet.

Because it really looked like a falling drop of water!

Yet what on earth gave Sengoku the notion that using this kind of toy could counter him?

Thinking this, Kaido felt somewhat disdainful. To him, only one's own might was true strength, and any external objects were not worth fearing; otherwise, the Beasts Pirates wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment have gone without vigorously searching for the so-called "Ancient Weapons" to this day.

The marine soldiers down below were suddenly all curious, looking at each other in dismay, not understanding what was going on.

As for Kizaru, he directly transformed into light, arriving beside Sengoku and Garp, pointing at a small circular ring above his head and raising the corners of his mouth.

The Droplet floated in the air, not yet making a move.

Akainu Sakazuki knew that Sengoku wanted to test the power of the newly forged Droplet, so he silently retreated a bit, crossing his arms and staring at Kaido.

Looking at the actions of the Navy High Command, as well as Akainu's retreat, Kaido, who was holding his Kanabo, felt somewhat astonished. He thought to himself, Are they serious?

They were really going to let the so-called Droplet fight him?

Thus, Kaido looked up at the Droplet mid-air, a cold smile pulling at the corner of his mouth as he prepared to hurl a few words of mockery.

Suddenly!

The head of the Droplet pointed straight down at Kaido, accelerating from zero in an instant!

From a standstill to transforming into a black blur was merely a matter of that exact moment, so fast that the disdain in Kaido's eyes hadn'Golden Divine Punishment even had time to shift.

"Pretty fast speed!"

Drawing close to him, Kaido's pupils transformed into crosses. Cyan scales emerged on the back of his hand and parts of his body as he simultaneously caught the trajectory of the Droplet.

Yet with this sudden onset, Kaido had already underestimated his enemy. Furthermore, even though he had reacted, his arm was too late to fully swing the Kanabo to swat the Droplet away.

He simply brought it up to block in front of himself.

Bang!

The muffled sound of a collision!

A look of astonishment flashed across Kaido's face, and the strength in his arm increased in time, holding his ground against the Droplet, yet the powerful thrust transmitted through it was truly startling.

The moment of the collision caused the ground beneath Kaido's feet to suddenly shatter and cave in!

"Not simple!"

With just such a simple collision, Kaido immediately straightened his mindset amidst his shock. This droplet-shaped thing was bizarre!

At close-range collision, one could see its ultra-smooth surface. More importantly, despite having Armament Haki as his invisible armor, Kaido still sensed the absolute-zero chill on the surface of the Droplet!

Above the fortress, Kizaru, Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, and Aokiji all wore excited expressions.

The Droplet truly didn'Golden Divine Punishment disappoint them. In its head-on clash with Kaido, its exterior defense hadn'Golden Divine Punishment budged a bit—simply peerless.

The rest of the marine soldiers were left completely dumbfounded at the sight.

"What on earth is that thing Admiral Kizaru brought back? It looks like a drop of water, yet it can actually go toe-to-toe with the Four Emperors Kaido?!"

Indeed, those who were unaware couldn'Golden Divine Punishment help but guess with astonishment, their gazes shaking.

"This is a technological invention, the Droplet! It's a completely new weapon!"

Onigumo and the other Vice Admirals who knew about the Droplet excitedly told the marines who didn'Golden Divine Punishment understand.

Only then did everyone realize that this item was actually manufactured by technology!

Technology possessed such a means to clash with one of the Four Emperors too!

Yet before their shock could even finish, a roar rang out!

Kaido, locked in a contest of strength with the Droplet, turned ferocious and forcefully pushed back the recoil-driven Droplet by a fraction!

Kizaru didn'Golden Divine Punishment control the Droplet to continue wrestling with Kaido either, instead having the Droplet back off to open up distance.

"What's formidable about the Droplet is its speed and hardness. According to Figarland, utilizing distance and acceleration can take the Droplet's ramming force to yet another level..."

Recalling his conversation with Lynn when discussing the Droplet, Kizaru immediately controlled the Droplet to ascend toward the sky, widening the distance and continuously increasing its speed!

Kaido took a deep breath, puzzlement lingering in his pupils. At this moment, he desperately wanted to know what on earth this thing was.

Yet right at this moment, as the Droplet accelerated and sprinted within his field of vision, it suddenly made an acute-angle turn, changing direction very incongruously and charging at Kaido once more!

The environment warped beneath the mirror-like surface of the Droplet, and an extremely bright blue halo appeared at its tapered tail tip! It rapidly closed in on Kaido!

"Here it comes!"

Hot air exhaled from Kaido's nose as he raised his Kanabo high with his arm.

He now knew the extraordinary nature of the Droplet, but so what? He would smash it to pieces with a single club!

"Roaring Thunder Bagua!"

An enhanced version of Thunder Bagua!

Wisps of lightning coiled out around the Kanabo. Kaido swung the Kanabo, roaring as he fiercely smashed it toward the Droplet!

The surging momentum billowed out in all directions with the motion!

The marine soldiers were all startled by this scene, instantly feeling that something might go terribly wrong. Could this thing really be smashed to pieces by Kaido with a single club?!

Even Sengoku, Garp, and the Three Admirals narrowed their eyes. At this point, stopping was certainly out of the question, and Kizaru hadn'Golden Divine Punishment stopped either!
