"Was it you who killed the Celestial Dragons?"

Arriving above Enel and Sasuke, Kizaru asked the question.

"Huh? What the hell are Celestial Dragons? Still, I did just kill some mortals who dared to scorn their god! There seemed to be Celestial Dragons among them!"

As he spoke, Enel flew up from the street until he was level with Kizaru.

Sasuke unfastened his Kusanagi Sword and sat down on a rooftop to watch the fight.

"So you were the ones causing trouble and making this old man come all this way!"

"Surrender, pirates!"

Whoosh!

The moment he finished speaking, Kizaru extended his index finger. A beam of golden light shot from his fingertip at tremendous speed, hurtling toward Enel.

Sensing no Armament Haki, Enel did not dodge and let the beam pierce his body.

"Hmm? You're not even dodging?"

Kizaru was somewhat surprised by Enel's reaction.

Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!

But a moment later, Kizaru understood why.

As several blue sparks flickered around the hole in Enel's body, the wound vanished instantly, leaving no sign that the spot had just been pierced.

"So it's the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit? How frightening!"

"Lowly mortal, you dare attack a god! I shall punish you!"

"But who are you?"

Possessing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit alone was enough to warrant the Marines' attention, so Kizaru asked.

"I am god! God is me!"

Kizaru: "..."

Sasuke: "..."

Enel's grandiose declaration left both Sasuke and Kizaru speechless.

Is there something wrong with this long-eared fellow's head?

That was what Kizaru suspected.

Whoosh!

"Light-speed kick!"

In an instant, Kizaru flashed above Enel's head, his golden, glowing foot about to swing down.

"Heh! Lowly mortal, you still refuse to give up? Your attacks can't hurt me!"

Still sensing no Armament Haki, Enel taunted him fearlessly.

"Is that so?"

"Armament Haki!"

In a flash, Kizaru activated his Armament Haki.

"Wha-"

Boom!

By the time Enel sensed the Armament Haki, he had no time to react. He was kicked straight into the ground, smashing out a huge crater.

"Sigh..."

"I told you! That's what blind confidence gets you!"

Watching Enel get kicked down, Sasuke sighed and gloated, showing no intention of helping.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Damn you! You dare wound your god! I'll kill you!"

Rising from the crater, Enel raised his Golden Staff and struck the drums behind his back hard.

"Thunder Bird!"

With Enel's roar, a giant bird formed entirely of lightning flew toward Kizaru.

"So this is the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? How frightening!"

Kizaru's dismissive attitude deeply provoked Enel.

"Hmph! Ignorant mortal, let's see how you keep mouthing off once you've been electrocuted to ash!"

Boom!

The Thunder Bird engulfed Kizaru completely.

When the lightning faded, Kizaru was nowhere to be seen.

"Hahaha! Not even ashes left? That's what happens when you challenge your god!"

Seeing that Kizaru had been killed by his Thunder Bird, Enel laughed arrogantly.

"Sword of the gathering clouds of heaven!"

Golden light immediately coalesced into a human figure behind Enel.

It was Kizaru, holding a golden sword of light, about to pierce Enel's heart from behind.

I can't dodge! I'll die!

That was the information Enel's Observation Haki conveyed to him.

"Sigh! I have to step in already!"

Though Sasuke complained, his movements were not slow.

He had already revealed his Rinnegan and locked onto Kizaru, ready to activate "Heavenly hand power."

"Hmm?"

"They're here. Looks like I won't have to do anything!"

Sasuke hid his Rinnegan beneath his hair again.

Clang!

The sound of clashing strikes rang out, but Enel was not impaled.

The sword of light stopped in front of a white-haired man.

The newcomer was Satoru Gojo. He had activated Limitless and blocked the sword of light with one hand.

No matter how hard Kizaru pushed, the sword could not advance an inch.

"What?! How is that possible?!"

Unable to believe the sight before him, Kizaru cried out in shock.

My strength might not match Vice Admiral Garp's or Fleet Admiral Sengoku's, but as a Marine Admiral, how could I possibly be weak?!

This man stopped me effortlessly with just one hand! And he looks completely relaxed! Even Vice Admiral Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku couldn't do that, could they?!

"Well, well, that's dangerous! Did my subordinate do something he shouldn't have? You're actually trying to kill him?"

Still holding the sword of light at bay, Satoru Gojo asked his question.

Whoosh!

Rather than answering, Kizaru immediately put some distance between himself and Satoru Gojo.

This man is far too strange!

"Phew! Captain, you're here!"

Having just brushed against death, Enel let out a breath.

"Are you Satoru Gojo, captain of the Jujutsu Pirates?"

After retreating into the distance, Kizaru recalled the man on the bounty poster, recognizing Satoru Gojo's distinctive attire.

"Oh? To think a famous Marine Admiral would recognize someone as ordinary as me!"

"If someone who can easily block a Marine Admiral's attack counts as ordinary, then there's no one in this world who isn't ordinary!"

"You flatter me, Admiral Kizaru!"

"So, may I take my subordinate and leave?"

Satoru Gojo chatted casually with Kizaru, showing no defensive posture whatsoever, as though the man before him were not an enemy.

"Do you think a Marine Admiral can let pirates leave unharmed?"

"Fair point. You still have to report back!"

"Indeed! It would be ideal if you would surrender!"

Kizaru's voice came from far away, but the next moment, he suddenly appeared before Satoru Gojo.

"Light-speed kick!"

A golden, glowing foot lashed toward Satoru Gojo. This was Kizaru's full-powered strike!

Satoru Gojo had already tracked Kizaru's movements. He extended his palm and blocked Kizaru's attack once again.

Boom!

An earth-shattering roar rang out in the sky. Dazzling golden light instantly illuminated the nearby streets and covered the entire island.

Pirates, Marines, and civilians alike looked up at the distant sky in horror.

"What happened over there?!"

When the golden light faded, two tall figures appeared in the sky: Satoru Gojo and Kizaru. Neither was injured, and neither looked as though he had just emerged from the center of that explosion.

"Unfortunately, I'm not going to surrender!"

"I'm in a hurry to set sail! So I'll have to show a little of what I can do next!"

The next moment, Satoru Gojo stepped on thin air and, without hesitation, used Teleportation to appear directly before Kizaru. Cursed Energy surged around his fist, wrapped in Armament Haki, as he smashed a punch into Kizaru's abdomen.

He was too fast for Kizaru to dodge. Kizaru could only use Armament Haki to defend himself.

Thud!

"Urgh!"

Even with Armament Haki protecting him, taking Satoru Gojo's powerful strike head-on could not leave him unscathed.

Kizaru instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. His stomach churned, and he felt as though he was about to vomit up all the tea he had drunk in his office that day!

"My god! Are my eyes playing tricks on me?!"

Watching the scene in the sky, the distant pirates and Marines could not help stopping their battles and exclaiming.

What had they just witnessed?!

Marine Admiral Kizaru had been punched by a rookie pirate so hard that he spat blood!

Steadying himself in midair again, Kizaru said to Satoru Gojo:

"Rookie pirates these days really are monsters!"

"Are you still going to stop us? I've already killed a Marine Captain. I wouldn't mind cutting down a Marine Admiral too!"

In the calmest of tones, Satoru Gojo declared that he would slay an Admiral.

But instead of answering Satoru Gojo, Kizaru shouted:

"Huh? What? You're saying you didn't kill the Celestial Dragons? The people who killed them have already escaped?!"

"You damned bastards! Don't run!"

Kizaru shouted in the opposite direction, deliberately raising his voice so those nearby could hear. Then he turned into golden light and shot off into the distance without hesitation.

After that brief exchange, Kizaru already understood how terrifying Satoru Gojo was!

With Sasuke and Esdeath also watching him like hawks nearby, Kizaru decided it was best to leave first!

I really don't know how a monster like this came to exist!

Satoru Gojo: "He actually ran away. As captain, I wanted to look cool in front of my crew!"

Watching Kizaru flee so brazenly, Satoru Gojo was instantly left helpless.

He really is an acting monkey! What acting skills!

Sasuke: "So that's a Marine Admiral? He actually ran away."

Esdeath, who had only recently arrived, also said, "He ran so fast. I wanted to test a Marine Admiral's strength!"

Enel: "Bastard! Don't run if you've got the guts! Fight your god for three hundred rounds!"

Sasuke mocked him from the side:

"Save it! If it weren't for the captain, you'd already be dead!"

Enel: "Huh?! What did you say?"

Sasuke: "What? Got a problem with that?"

"You..."

Enel glared at Sasuke.

Sasuke rested his hand on his Kusanagi Sword and said:

"Want to fight?"

"Hmph!"

Enel snorted and stopped looking at Sasuke.

When you're weaker than someone, you have to bow your head!

Satoru Gojo paid no attention to Sasuke and Enel, because he had something more important to deal with.

The system had suddenly issued a reward!

Ding! Congratulations, host! You have driven back Marine Admiral Kizaru and unlocked the Blue Star shop feature!

"Blue Star shop? What does that feature do?"

Host, as long as you pay enough Beli, you can purchase any item from Blue Star in the Blue Star shop!

"You mean I can buy things from the planet of my previous life?"

Yes, host! Furthermore, to better suit this world, this system has given some items special modifications. They will have unexpected effects!
