Kizaru's crushing defeat

"What?!"

"Akainu lost too!"

The only ones who still count as fighting strength now are me and the five Vice Admirals, but Satoru Gojo has Onigumo and the others pinned down. They can't get away at all.

The Jujutsu Pirates' fighting strength is intact. There's no chance of winning if we keep fighting. I'd better return to Marine Headquarters first and report the situation here.

After all, Kizaru was just a Marine Admiral collecting a paycheck. He would coast for as long as he could. He had long since lost the hot blood of his youth. He wasn't Akainu!

With that thought, Kizaru stopped hesitating. He positioned his hands in a special stance, and countless light projectiles gathered behind him.

"Yasakani no Magatama!"

As his words fell, the densely packed yellow light projectiles rained down on Enel like a torrential storm. The range was the most terrifying of any attack Kizaru had used so far. Clearly, this was a full-power strike.

"Two Hundred Million Volts: Amaru!"

Enel's Observation Haki also sensed the power of this attack.

He immediately began striking the drums on his body with the Golden Staff, stimulating the release of the lightning within him.

The released lightning coiled around Enel. When it reached a certain quantity, Enel transformed directly into a gigantic thunder god, sweeping a sky-blotting hand toward Kizaru.

This was Enel's strongest move.

In the blink of an eye, their attacks collided. Brilliant, blinding light erupted, forcing everyone to look away.

Boom!

A deafening roar followed, resounding through heaven and earth.

As the light faded, Enel reverted from his thunder god form. His aura was somewhat weakened. Clearly, he had suffered considerable injuries in that exchange.

"Cough! Cough!"

"That bastard Marine Admiral actually managed to hurt this god!"

Enel looked ahead with fury in his eyes, but Kizaru was long gone.

"Damn you, Kizaru! You hurt this god and then run away!"

Watching Kizaru, who had already become a yellow dot in the distance, Enel unleashed a string of curses.

Now that he was injured, he couldn't catch Kizaru. He could only watch him escape.

"Good grief. A Marine Admiral running away again?"

"But I won't let you off so easily this time!"

As his words fell, Satoru Gojo vanished.

"The Jujutsu Pirates really are monsters among monsters. I'm afraid no one will ever be able to stop their rise!"

Kizaru sped through the sky, feeling powerless against the strength of the Jujutsu Pirates.

"Hey, Admiral Kizaru. Where are you off to?"

"What?!"

As he traveled at high speed through the sky, a voice actually reached his ears. Kizaru instantly broke out in a cold sweat, because it was Satoru Gojo's voice!

And now Satoru Gojo was less than fifty meters to his right, flying at the same speed as him.

How is that possible?!

He possessed the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit. No one on the seas could surpass his speed. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the fastest in the world.

That was what had allowed him to remain composed even in such a disadvantageous situation earlier.

It was also what had allowed him to slack off so often at work in the past, because he could escape unscathed no matter what happened.

Yet Satoru Gojo had actually caught up after he had already spent some time fleeing!

How did he do it?!

Seeing that Kizaru hadn't answered, Satoru Gojo asked him again:

"Admiral Kizaru, are you in a hurry to get back to Marine Headquarters?"

"Yes. It's almost mealtime. I should head back to eat."

Kizaru tried hard to calm himself.

"Wouldn't it be exhausting to travel all that way back for a meal? Why not eat in Dressrosa? I'll treat all Three Admirals! You won't turn me down, will you?"

"You're too kind. Who would dare turn down White-haired Satoru Gojo? But I have something to do, so I'll have to pass. Just treat Kuzan and Akainu!"

With that, Kizaru immediately pushed the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit to its limit, raising his speed to the maximum. In an instant, he put distance between himself and Satoru Gojo, and the gap kept widening.

Watching Kizaru pull away, Satoru Gojo remained unruffled and used Teleportation again.

Whoosh!

Satoru Gojo appeared right beside Kizaru and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"What?!"

"What a terrifying spatial ability!"

Satoru Gojo's spatial ability frightened Kizaru.

"A good host doesn't let his guests leave!"

Satoru Gojo's devilish whisper sounded in Kizaru's ear.

The next moment, Satoru Gojo brought Kizaru back above the frozen sea off Dressrosa.

"This is Dressrosa!"

"I'm back here again!"

"What kind of Devil Fruit ability is this? How can it be so terrifying?!"

I should have escaped several dozen kilometers away just now, yet I came back here in an instant.

Satoru Gojo must have obtained some kind of spatial Devil Fruit, and developed it to a considerable degree.

But his guess was wrong. This wasn't a Devil Fruit ability, but Teleportation, a derivative application of "Blue."

In Dressrosa's urban district.

The civilians watched the two figures that suddenly appeared on the screen.

"That's Lord Satoru Gojo!"

"And the other one is Marine Admiral Kizaru!"

"Did Lord Satoru Gojo capture Admiral Kizaru and bring him back?"

"Lord Satoru Gojo is amazing!"

"Lord Satoru Gojo is so handsome!"

Marine Admiral Akainu had been defeated by Sasuke, Marine Admiral Kuzan had been defeated by Esdeath, and now Admiral Kizaru, who had fled, had been captured and brought back by Satoru Gojo.

The civilians of Dressrosa, who had witnessed all of this with their own eyes, were deeply shaken. The members of the Jujutsu Pirates already held a lofty place in their hearts. The Jujutsu Pirates were their saviors!

"All right, time to send you off to eat!"

Satoru Gojo spoke calmly.

"And how do you intend to send me there?"

"By giving you a beating first, of course!"

With that, Satoru Gojo kicked Kizaru straight in the back.

Boom!

Even with his attention fully focused, Kizaru couldn't react in time. Satoru Gojo kicked him out of the sky and onto the ice.

A huge crater instantly blasted open in the ice. The entire frozen surface shook from the impact, and the Marine warships nearby began rocking.

"Pfft!"

"Cough! Cough!"

Kizaru spat out a mouthful of blood and coughed continuously.

Immediately afterward, Satoru Gojo appeared in front of Kizaru again. His right hand, coated in Armament Haki, clamped around Kizaru's throat. He pinned him against the ice and shoved him along it, using Kizaru's body to break through the frozen surface.

Satoru Gojo's immense strength prevented Kizaru from prying his hand away. The intense suffocation and the crushing pressure of the ice against his body proved too much even for the battle-hardened Kizaru, and he passed out.

Satoru Gojo lifted the unconscious Kizaru high, carrying him into the air.

Standing high in the sky, Satoru Gojo surveyed his surroundings and said:

"Victory belongs to us, the Jujutsu Pirates!"

Satoru Gojo declared their victory.

"Ooooooh!"

"Jujutsu Pirates! Jujutsu Pirates! Jujutsu Pirates!"

The civilians of Dressrosa cried out as they watched the handsome figure holding a Marine Admiral on the screen!
