One Against Four?

The way Bondrewd disappeared from Kizaru and Shining's sight was completely unexpected. There was no Flash, no air currents; he simply vanished into thin air.

The next second, he appeared in the airspace below, blocking the Great Angel and Mechanical King who were charging towards Garp and Sengoku.

Golden light projectiles poured out from Bondrewd's hands, and the barrage of Yasakani no Magatama covered the two's flight path.

The Great Angel dodged to the side, his white Wings folding in the gaps between the light projectiles, while his Holy Light Sword drew a semicircle in front of him.

The light projectile struck the sword's surface, deflecting into golden shards that scattered in all directions. The Mechanical King erected Electromagnetic Shield, and the light projectile exploded on the shield's surface.

Shining hovered next to Kizaru, Electric Arc expression flashing as he glanced down at the ground.

"Director, we need to go help out."

Kizaru didn't move immediately. He glanced down at the battle situation.

"I think it would be more appropriate to deal with the Golden Lion first."

In Kizaru's mind, the Great Angel and Mechanical King, working together, couldn't possibly lose to Bondrewd. So, while Bondrewd was being held back by these two, he decided to go and support 'Garp and Sengoku' first.

"If it can be done, I have no objection..."

Shining's face darkened.

Kizaru didn't immediately understand what 'can do' meant. His Observation Haki suddenly started flashing alarms.

The Oppression of being watched by a colossal being surged up from the base of his spine, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. Without hesitation, his body instantly elementalized, turning into photons and disappearing.

Bondrewd appeared abruptly, and an invisible wave emanated from the black mechanical armor on his right hand, making Kizaru very uncomfortable.

The mechanical arm swept across the spot where Kizaru had been, triggering a series of air explosions and creating a large fan-shaped shower of ion sparks.

"Blue Starters!"

Not far away, Shining raised his hands, and a dense beam of blue electrons swept towards Bondrewd.

Having missed his target, Bondrewd looked up at Shining, whose black Helmet glowed with a purple vertical light. He clasped his hands together in prayer.

"--Again!?"

Shining transformed into a bolt of Lightning, striking the sky in the opposite direction.

'Boom--!'

The Shockwave from the explosion spread in all directions. The explosion cloud contained some kind of fine powder.

... Of course, against Shining, it's fake. Against Kizaru, it's really just Seastone dust.

Kizaru reformed into human form more than ten kilometers away. Shining also transformed into Inazuma and followed, landing to Kizaru's side.

"That's terrifying, what is that?"

Kizaru frowned, looking at the 'ionized cloud' gradually dissipating in the distance.

"... That... is the 'Transmutation Decomposition everything.' Even if you have an elemental body, it's best not to be 'directly hit' by it."

The Shining 'stood' in the air and 'jumped' twice in place.

After hearing Shining's explanation, Kizaru remembered that it had indeed been mentioned in the intelligence, and coupled with his terrible experience on 'Hachinosu', Kizaru twitched his Delia.

"Battlefield depth is of little significance to us. It's the same for that guy."

Shining scratched his cheek, sending sparks flying.

Kizaru didn't reply immediately. He glanced at the location of the explosion, where Bondrewd teleported again, engaging in a Teleportation battle with the Great Angel and Mechanical King.

As the Devil Fruit User the 'Glint-Glint Fruit', Kizaru has always disregarded the depth of the battlefield.

Now it must be admitted that against the ability of 'Teleportation', pulling and mobility are of very limited use. No matter where he and Shining go, Bondrewd can immediately follow and join the battle.

Just then, a Zaku Soldier flew over.

"Resurrection will take time. First, destroy this body."

The deep, mechanical voice of the Mechanical King emanated from the mech's sound array system.

Kizaru understood. Dawn Bondrewd's Resurrection has a cooldown period. Concentrate your forces to kill him once, making him temporarily retreat, and then go deal with Golden Lion and Red Count.

"Oh, I understand."

Kizaru felt that they should listen to the 'professionals'.

The nearby Shining shrugged and transformed into a bolt of Inazuma, rushing towards Bondrewd.

Kizaru sighed softly, transformed into a 'particle of light,' and gave chase.

Two Extreme Speed- type Logia User entered the airspace of the siege battle site in the blink of an eye.

The Mechanical King and the Great Angel also cooperated tacitly, the four of them spreading out from four directions, maintaining a distance of several kilometers, surrounding Bondrewd in the center.

Bondrewd hovered in the center of the encirclement, his black Trench Coat swaying gently in the air currents. He glanced around, then clapped his hands.

"I see. You all made a wise decision."

The sound, though not loud, was clearly audible to Kizaru, causing Kizaru to narrow his eyes behind his Sunglasses.

"Further discussion is pointless."

The Mechanical King's voice was much more 'bold', the sound array system sounding like Broadcast.

His Mechanical Arms rose, deformed, and the Electromagnetic coil charged. Vermilion beam of light shot out from the muzzle, leaving a straight, bright line in the air.

Bondrewd dodged to the side in advance, and the beam of light passed through the spot where he had just been and struck a floating rock behind him. The rock was torn into pieces by the kinetic energy of the Electromagnetic Cannon and exploded in all directions.

Great Angel swooped down from above. A white Holy Light Sword materialized in his hand, its blade shimmering with a pale golden aura.

Enkidu, disguised as an 'Great Angel', may not have a 'Mythical Zoan Mode', but his 'appearance' is flawlessly disguised.

The technology can be Copy-Copy Fruit; Enkidu can also perform photoelectric conversion. With the support of the Artificial Heaven, the basic application of Electromagnetic Force is also without any problems.

He swooped down, his Holy Light Sword pointing directly at Bondrewd. Bondrewd's Dragon Tail popped out from under his Trench Coat, its black, segmented exoskeleton surface feigning 'Armament Haki' as it lashed upwards.

The Holy Light Sword struck the Dragon Tail, creating multiple diffused light spots.

The purple vertical light on Bondrewd's Helmet suddenly brightened, forming a 'cross' shape.

" --Ascend the Star."

The vertical light flashed, shooting out a dazzling Laser beam.

A semi-transparent white light shield appeared on the Great Angel, blocking the Laser, but Knockback a distance by the 'push'.

The moment the Great Angel and Bondrewd separated.

Kizaru raised his hand and fired two golden Laser, 'shattering' Bondrewd, 'distorting' his form, and shifting his vector a certain distance before returning to 'normal'.

According to Kizaru's Observation Haki, the 'Bondrewd' that was clearly hit was indeed a 'living being' before it was struck.

"--This is really tricky..."

Kizaru muttered under his breath.

He realized it was another 'illusion + Observation Haki interference'. He'd examined it before. He really wanted to say, 'Take it away.'

For Speedster like Kizaru, the unreliability of Observation Haki is a very troublesome situation.

" --Limit Spark!"

Almost simultaneously with Bondrewd's 'movement', Shining fired a bright blue Plasma beam cannon from the other side, traversing the airspace and leaving a fleeting ring of sparks in the Rail of the ionized air.

Bondrewd, as if standing on flat ground, took a step back in mid-air, walked into a semi-transparent door, and disappeared.

The Limit Spark was a step too late, passing through the already vanished door.

A 'door' suddenly appeared behind Shining, Bondrewd stepped out.

"--Will- Ghostfire Elf!"

Shining didn't turn around; his Silver Gray Trench Coat billowed, and swirling green Inazuma, like 'thousands of branches,' erupted backward.

"Arrow's Fate."

Bondrewd spoke softly, and the vertical lights on his Helmet flashed. Numerous 'Vector Arrows' emerged from his entire body, projecting in all directions.

The dense, green, Forked Inazuma was 'taken away' by the Arrows, spreading and diluting around Bondrewd.

The green Inazuma collapsed into red sparks, and bright blue Electric Arc formed a giant spindle-shaped 'cage,' exploding into a blinding burst of light.

The aftershocks of the light burst spread in all directions, and the intense lightning obscured vision. The high-energy fluctuations made Kizaru's Observation Haki only detect a 'piercing' sound.

Sephiroth, who attacked in his 'Shining' form, took the opportunity to deactivate his active elemental transformation.

Meanwhile, Praying Hands, acting as the 'Bondrewd,' entered Invisibility mode, becoming completely silent and merging into the 'Magnetic Field environment,' slowly falling. He prepared to circle back to the 'Flying Admiral.'

The light burst dissipated.

The unharmed 'Bondrewd' hovered in place, and the 'damage' on his black Trench Coat began to automatically repair itself.

Now, Sephiroth himself is playing the role of 'Bondrewd'.

The armor on the Mechanical King transformed in multiple places: its arms, sides, and shoulders, and two Electromagnetic Cannons, two Plasma cannons, and two rapid-fire Vulcan cannons popped out.

As Bondrewd emerged from the burst of light, two Vermilion beams of light shot towards him.

Bondrewd extended his Dragon Wings forward, forming a shield to block the two Electromagnetic Cannons.

After a violent roar, two bright white Plasma followed, illuminating the explosion cloud.

The Vulcan cannon fired a series of fire lines, tearing the explosion cloud into a swirling, distorted shape.

A bolt of Inazuma struck not far from the Mechanical King, coalescing into the shape of Shining.

As the 'terminal', the Mechanical King, in time with the Inazuma strikes, projects Shining's 'Holographic Projection'.

As a 'Thunder Elemental', I simulate 'The Shining' using 'Holographic Projection + Rigid Magnetic Field Shell'. Under the current 'interference environment', my Observation Haki cannot distinguish the difference.

The Holographic Projection of Shining stood next to the Mechanical King, his silver Trench Coat billowing in the air currents, and blue and white arcs of Electric Arc on the head of the black Ball Lightning outlined a 'Holy crap' expression.

"--Hey, hey, hey, Bondrewd, can't you use your own abilities a little bit!?"

Shining stomps her foot.

Amidst the deafening roar of the Mechanical King unleashing its full firepower, Bondrewd heard Shining's rant.

The explosion cloud was swept away by the 'Hurricane'. The Mechanical King's firepower was also suspended.

Diamond danced in the air, creating a dazzling, irregular rainbow. Some of the Diamond were ignited by the high temperature and fell through the air like clusters of Fireworks.

Emerging from the chaotic airspace, Bondrewd walked out as if on flat ground, looked at Shining, and pondered for a moment.

"This is really a dilemma. The 'base' of the Alchemy Fruit isn't very effective against intangible Logia attacks."

Bondrewd raised his right hand, unleashing Conqueror's Haki that swept across the entire area, and black and red Inazuma condensed in his palm.

"Well... although I don't really like using 'brute force,' I'll grant Reg's request anyway."

Bondrewd's figure vanished from its original spot and reappeared above Shining's head.

He conjured a seven-foot-long sword with an emerald-green arabesque pattern out of thin air— the Cursed Sword 'Seven Star Sword'.

The Seven Star Sword exuded astonishing 'malice,' carrying a Conqueror's Coating black and red Inazuma as it slashed towards Shining.

'--Bang--Buzz--!'

Shining retreated in her elemental form, Great Angel appeared in 'Holy Light'. The two 'took turns'.

The Great Angel, wielding a golden Knight Sword in both hands, blocked Bondrewd's Conqueror's Coating.

The two sides 'Conqueror's Haki clashed, Shockwave spread outwards.

... In reality, it was Sephiroth himself who unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, simultaneously incorporating 'mimicry Brain Waves signals' and 'Emotion Absorption signals'. Enkidu, appearing in his 'Great Angel' form, posed in coordination.

Kizaru 'Conqueror's Haki erupted, making him want to get closer. Just as he hesitated whether to go and support Sengoku and Garp...

The Great Angel 'slashed' the Bondrewd in two, and the two halves of the Bondrewd exploded on the spot. The huge fireball, like two converging small Sun, engulfed the Great Angel.

The raging fire dyed a large part of the sky red.

"--I did not ignore your meaning, 'Mr. Borsalino'."

Bondrewd appeared behind Kizaru like a ghost. The two stood back to back in the void.

The Dragon Tail swept behind Kizaru, leaving traces of Conqueror's Coating black and red Inazuma in the air.

The two were too close, and due to the influence of the Conqueror's Coating, Kizaru's elemental transformation was briefly interrupted. Unable to retreat in time, he could only draw the 'Ama no Murakumo' to defend.

You'd better just ignore me!

Kizaru thought to himself, his golden Lightsaber twisted and deformed by the tail strike of the Conqueror's Coating, his body covered in thick Armament Haki. He was still sent flying.

Given Kizaru's mastery of Armament Haki, even if he were to Conqueror's Coating in the head by Haki, it wouldn't be a big problem. But being 'spun away' would still be inevitable.

Kizaru was spun around like a top several times before finally regaining his footing in mid-air and seeing the reason why Bondrewd had her back to him.

The 'meteor shower' of Ball Lightning projected by Shining enveloped Bondrewd in a semi-circular, three-dimensional 'claw'.

The 'Great Angel,' surrounded by Ball Lightning, charged straight at Bondrewd.

The Ball Lightning did not interfere with the 'Great Angel' at all, acting as a wingman providing cover.

'--Whoosh!'

The two Conqueror's Coating repeatedly in short bursts, and the crisscrossing black and red Inazuma blew the Ball Lightning into pieces, breaking it into irregular atmospheric fragments.

The Great Angel was very 'refined'; he only unleashed his Conqueror's Haki when the swords clashed.

After a dazzling exchange of blows, the Great Angel adjusted his sword stance and unleashed a powerful horizontal slash.

Bondrewd parried with the Seven Star Sword, while simultaneously swinging the Dragon Tail's tail towards the Great Angel's side.

The Great Angel was forced to retreat, and a 'Barrier of Holy Light' appeared in front of him. The Dragon Tail struck the Barrier, exploding into a ball of black and red sparks. The Barrier cracked, but it could still maintain its shape.

The Mechanical King fired Electromagnetic Cannon from a distance to provide support fire.

" --Apocalypse!"

The Great Angel unleashed Flying Slash formed from black and red Inazuma.

Bondrewd dodged to the side, but Apocalypse severed his left Dragon Wings.

As Bondrewd spiraled Spiral, he threw a spherical 'Freezing Gas' with his right hand. The air it passed through created a slight 'snowfall' phenomenon as it headed straight for Mechanical King.

Kizaru recognized the object as Kuzan's 'Ice Time Capsule' and immediately intercepted it with Laser.

However, the Freezing Gas's shape was erratic, avoiding Kizaru's Laser barrage.

The vector nozzles on the Mechanical King adjusted its flight attitude, and the Electromagnetic Rocket propulsion avoided the firing Rail.

An Arrows appeared next to the Freezing Gas. Starting from this Freezing Gas, Vector Arrows line segment was drawn and arrived at the Mechanical King.

The moment the 'link' was completed, the Freezing Gas suddenly accelerated, striking the Mechanical King as if it were a guaranteed hit.

The Mechanical King's Gray Iron metal shell Extreme Speed frosted over and was gradually frozen. But then, steam began to rise from the Mechanical King's body, and the frost gradually melted.

"--Wide- Wide-Area Limit Spark!"

Dozens of bright blue Plasma beams erupted from Shining's location, covering the space where Bondrewd was situated.

Bondrewd grew new Dragon Wings and adjusted his posture. An invisible shield appeared in front of him, blocking the rays.

Seeing that the technique resembled the 'Barrier-Barrier Fruit', Kizaru seized the opportunity to cut in from behind.

The light trails from the Yata no Kagami refracted into several sharp angles, and four 'Kizaru's' simultaneously appeared in four directions on the fan-shaped surface behind Bondrewd, each raising the Ama no Murakumo.

"--Oh wow, you're getting better at coordinating."

Bondrewd was speaking, he suddenly 'self-destructed'.

The massive explosion left Kizaru unable to make a move for a moment.

As Bondrewd plummeted, tracing an upward arc, she began to flicker, leaving a trail of afterimages in her wake.

" --Yasakani no Magatama."

Kizaru immediately unleashed a barrage of energy blasts in the direction of Bondrewd.

Logically speaking, the light projectiles from the Glint-Glint Fruit should be virtually impossible to dodge or intercept once aimed.

But Bondrewd dodged the light bullets as if it were Game of shuffling. Even when he was 'hit', he 'shifted sideways' and turned it into a 'miss'.

... In reality, Sephiroth referenced the visual effects of a certain late 20th-century 'Musō Tensei'. While the shots did hit, the 'Superconducting Capacitor Armor' directly converted and absorbed the light energy. Even if a few hits occurred, there was no way to 'overload' the defense.

The Great Angel and the Mechanical King launched attacks from both sides simultaneously. Holy Light spears and Electromagnetic Cannon struck Bondrewd from different angles.

After a few brief encounters, Bondrewd 'disappeared'.

Kizaru activated his Observation Haki, even knowing it might lead to a misjudgment, but he had no choice but to use it. It was extremely difficult.

This time, however, he seemed not to be misled, and Kizaru looked up at the sky not far away.

Bondrewd spoke, his voice gentle.

"As expected, fighting four at the same time is still too much of a challenge."

He raised his hands.

"Domain Expansion - Imaginary Manifestation."

The landscape of a large area in the sky changed. An absurd filter covered the sky, and Nightmare buildings began to sprout from the suspended gravel: twisted arches, upside-down staircases, and giant hands emerging from the rocks.

The dark filter made the entire area dim, and an inexplicable Oppression filled the air, as if something was writhing in the shadows.

"Domain Expansion - Rational Cosmos."

The Mechanical King immediately deployed its domain. Numerous mechanical Creation rose up: floating platforms, rotating gears, and coils flashing with blue Electric Arcs.

The Aurora borealis pierced the dark sky, its pulsating, colorful curtain of light like a living, giant screen, twisting and tumbling, resembling the 'Color Out of Space'.

Dust and ions in the air align and condense along magnetic field lines, forming a transparent lattice structure that is visible to the naked eye, constantly growing and breaking apart. This creates a huge, ever-changing geometric framework.

"Lead... the Firmament Star-- "

Not to be outdone, Shining unleashed a massive arc of Electric Arc.

"--Major Giant Trunade!"

The blue-matte alloy armor was mounted on the Giant of Light, with Thunder leaping across its surface.

The Giant Trunade Spirit stood between the Nightmare architecture and mechanical Creation, as if it were standing on the earth itself.

Kizaru's lips twitched as he looked at Shining, who had transformed into Lightning Giants.

"Shining, are you the only one who doesn't know this area?"

Shining paused for a moment. Then, the voice, crackling with electricity, came from the Lightning Giants.

"It's not that I can't. I'll learn slowly, gradually, and efficiently—I'll learn in an orderly manner!"

There were really a lot of unexpected situations.

Struggling to update in the middle of the night. OTZ
