Admiral Kizaru

On a street somewhere in the Sabaody Archipelago.

A tall man wearing a slave collar crawled along the ground, almost naked.

On his back sat someone dressed in strange clothes.

This strangely dressed person was a Celestial Dragon, one of the world's nobles.

The Celestial Dragon swung his whip, lashing the slave as he said:

"Crawl faster!"

At the sight of the Celestial Dragon, the people on the street hurriedly cleared a path in terror, kneeling on either side with their heads lowered, afraid of angering him.

Even unruly pirates who had killed countless people obediently knelt on the ground.

Anyone who saw a Celestial Dragon and failed to kneel would be executed. If someone angered a Celestial Dragon, a Marine Admiral would descend upon them!

But in the Celestial Dragon's path, two people still hadn't knelt.

Instead, they swaggered toward him.

They were Sasuke and Enel.

"Hmm?!"

Seeing that Sasuke and Enel hadn't knelt, the Celestial Dragon said angrily:

"You two commoners dare refuse to kneel before me!"

Enel said, "Huh? Never mind that you haven't knelt before this god-you actually dare demand that I kneel!"

Sasuke said, "Idiot! You think you're worthy of making me kneel?!"

"What insolent commoners! Kill them both!"

The Celestial Dragon gave the order to his men.

His bodyguards immediately raised their guns and aimed at Sasuke and Enel.

Rumble!

But before they could pull their triggers, several thunderclaps rang out, and destructive lightning engulfed the Celestial Dragon and his bodyguards, killing them outright.

Lowly mortals dared demand that a god kneel! They were courting death!

"Oh my god! A Celestial Dragon's been killed!"

"Do they have a death wish?"

"Run! A Marine Admiral's coming!"

The entire street descended into chaos at the sight of the Celestial Dragon's death. Everyone was terrified. That was a Celestial Dragon!

The residents of the Sabaody Archipelago scrambled home and shut themselves inside. The pirates turned and fled as well, because a Marine Admiral was coming!

The culprits, Sasuke and Enel, continued strolling along the street without fear.

Marine Headquarters.

Ring, ring! Ring, ring!

"Hello, Sengoku speaking. What is it?"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku answered the phone.

"Reporting, Fleet Admiral! A Celestial Dragon has been killed on Sabaody!"

"What did you say?! A Celestial Dragon's been killed? Which bastard did it?!"

"It was someone from the Jujutsu Pirates!"

"Bastards! The Jujutsu Pirates again! If I don't capture them, how am I supposed to answer to the people in the Holy Land?!"

Bang!

After hanging up, Sengoku slammed his fist onto his desk.

Kizaru, who had been sitting nearby drinking tea, quietly stood up upon hearing that a Celestial Dragon had been killed and slipped toward the door.

If I don't leave now, I won't get to slack off!

"Stop! Kizaru, where are you going?"

"Oh, I just remembered that I still have an unfinished assignment. I was about to go take care of it."

"Whatever your assignment is, forget it. Go to Sabaody immediately and bring back every last bastard involved in killing that Celestial Dragon!"

"But my assignment..."

Kizaru still wanted to fight for his chance to slack off.

"Get going!"

Sengoku's tone brooked no argument.

"All right! I'll head over right away! When something happens to a Celestial Dragon, an Admiral has to be dispatched!"

Seeing that he couldn't slack off, Kizaru "readily" agreed.

A short while later.

Boom!

The first boom was followed by a series of explosions, and shouts of battle filled the island.

Inside the bar.

Listening to the commotion outside, Satoru Gojo asked:

"What happened? Why is it so noisy?"

Rayleigh said indifferently, "Probably pirates causing trouble!"

Just then, a pirate burst through the door and said:

"Captain, a Celestial Dragon's been killed, and a Marine Admiral's here! We need to run!"

"What did you say?! A Marine Admiral's here! What idiot killed a Celestial Dragon?"

"Apparently, it was someone from the Jujutsu Pirates!"

"What?! The Jujutsu Pirates!"

The Pirate Crew captain glanced at Satoru Gojo, then turned and left. These big shots were all beyond his ability to cross!

Hearing that the person who had killed the Celestial Dragon belonged to the Jujutsu Pirates, Rayleigh laughed.

"Hahaha! Your crew members certainly have personality!"

"They just cause trouble! But Celestial Dragons deserve to die anyway. If he's dead, he's dead!"

Satoru Gojo spoke indifferently.

"A Marine Admiral's coming. Aren't you going to help?"

"You're right. I should go see which Admiral the Marines sent!"

Satoru Gojo spoke without a care, showing no regard whatsoever for the Marine Admirals.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Destructive beams kept blasting from the Pacifistas' mouths.

Sentomaru had arrived with several Pacifistas.

"Damn it! How did Marine reinforcements get here so quickly?!"

Watching beams pierce his men’s bodies, a Pirate Crew captain roared.

The pirates' weapons and attacks couldn't inflict the slightest damage on the Pacifistas. All they could do was dodge.

"Everyone, split up and run! Once you escape, regroup at our pirate ship!"

Another Pirate Crew captain spoke to his crew.

But the moment he finished, a golden light flashed to his side.

"Have you ever been hit with a Light-Speed Kick?"

A devilish whisper exploded beside the Pirate Crew captain’s ear, making his scalp prickle.

"Marine Admiral, K-Kizaru!"

Bang!

Before he even had time to reel in shock, the captain was sent flying.

"Captain! Damn you!"

Seeing his captain kicked away, a pirate roared and aimed his gun at Kizaru.

"Die!"

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and a hole appeared in Kizaru's body, but no blood flowed. It was Elementalization!

"How frightening!"

Though Kizaru said it was frightening, his face showed not the slightest trace of fear.

Boom!

The next instant, the pirate who had fired at him was kicked away before he could even react.

"The people who killed the Celestial Dragon are over there! Why are you chasing us around and attacking us?!"

A pirate pointed toward a distant street.

"Oh, thank you for the information. As thanks, I won't arrest you!"

With that, Kizaru flashed off into the distance.

"Arrest every last one of them!"

After Kizaru left, Sentomaru gave the order to the Pacifistas and Marines.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't arrest me? Why are you arresting me now?!"

The pirate Kizaru had spared protested indignantly.

"Admiral Kizaru was the one who said he wouldn't arrest you. What does that have to do with me, Sentomaru?!"

"I..."

On the other side of the street.

"Hmm? Someone seems to be heading toward this god. He's fast enough to rival me!"

Enel's Observation Haki had detected Kizaru.

"It looks like the Marine Admiral those pirates mentioned has arrived."

"A Marine Admiral? Is he strong?"

"Why don't you fight him and find out? Don't you call yourself a god? Are you scared?"

Sasuke deliberately goaded Enel with a mischievous edge.

He had already used his Mangekyō Sharingan to ascertain Kizaru's strength.

He was an opponent Enel couldn't possibly defeat as he was now, making this the perfect chance to let him teach that inexplicably confident fellow a lesson!

"Hahaha! Scared? Who has this god ever feared?! This is the perfect chance to show him my power!"

"Then I'll be watching your performance! Don't come begging me for help too soon!"

With that, Sasuke leaped back, leaving room for the imminent battle.

Saying this, Sasuke leaped backward, leaving space for the coming battle.
