Kizaru looked thoughtful. "How interesting."
He had barely finished speaking when Sabo suddenly appeared to his left, striking fast and hard at Kizaru's chest with a Dragon Claw.
But just as before, he caught nothing but Kizaru's afterimage.
Having missed his target, he concealed himself again and waited for another opening.
After all, brute force would never work against someone like Kizaru.
"That won't do," Kizaru said with a smile. "No matter how well you hide, I can still sense your presence. Your attacks have absolutely no effect on me."
"Is that so?" Sabo sneered. He appeared again and kicked at Kizaru, then slipped back into the sand haze he had created when his kick missed once more.
Kizaru seemed to be growing bored. He crossed his hands, dazzling light shining from his fingertips. "Let me take you down a peg."
Under Kizaru's control, the points of light on his hands shot into the sky. In the blink of an eye, countless densely packed lights filled the air before raining down like a hail of bullets.
Kizaru's Yasakani no Magatama was a wide-area attack.
The countless light bullets instantly scattered the sand haze Sabo had stirred up.
Sabo darted nimbly through the rain of light bullets, but they were so densely packed that they left numerous cuts across his face and body. Fortunately, almost all of them were superficial.
Seeing that Sabo was still alive, Kizaru gave him a thumbs-up. "You survived even that? How frightening."
Sabo glared at Kizaru, his expression grim. Without a word, he spun the pipe in his hand and charged at him again.
Kizaru raised a hand and leisurely fired light bullets at Sabo, using his finger as a gun barrel.
Sabo dodged left and right, avoiding every shot, until he came within three meters
