"Idiot! Run! That's Marine Admiral Kizaru, one of the Navy's top combatants. You attacked Celestial Dragons, and now it's time to settle the score!"
Kizaru didn't speak to Luffy, but rather to a pirate who was passing by while fleeing. He had been scared away by another android, but unexpectedly ended up with this combination of Marine Admiral and an android.
This pirate harbored resentment towards the Straw Hat Pirates Marine Admiral. He revealed Kizaru's identity to see Straw Hat Pirates despair and scare them away. Kizaru and the androids would then prioritize chasing the Straw Hat Pirates Straw Hat Pirates, allowing him to escape unscathed.
"That's very true, but there's no reward!"
The pirate who spoke had a good plan, but he didn't expect that the Straw Hat Pirates wouldn't scatter and run away. Only his figure was particularly conspicuous as he fled. After Kizaru said those words, he kicked a laser beam first.
I don't know what happened to that pirate, but the place was completely destroyed. A Yarukiman Mangrove was broken and collapsed, and a lot of smoke and dust blocked the view. Its power was comparable to that of a giant cannon.
"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light? Now it's your turn to try!"
Kizaru finished kicking Luffy and continued Luffy towards him, as if the massive destruction he had just caused wasn't his doing.
Kizaru was actually showing off when he said that. Although he has the Glint- Devil Fruit User and is related to light, his speed is definitely not at the speed of light. Otherwise, who could hit him? Who could dodge his attacks?
Even if you foresee the future, what then? Your body still can't keep up. Unless you rely on your deep Armament Haki to act like a turtle and let it attack you, everything else has weaknesses. But in the end, when your Armament Haki is exhausted, the outcome is the same. The speed of light represents invincibility!
However, whether in the original work or now, Kizaru's performance has never been this abnormal. It can only be said that Kizaru's speed is indeed very fast, but it is still far from the speed of light, unless he can fully comprehend the Law of Light and become a God of Law God.
Kizaru's speed is even slower than Vic's. Vic's Speed-Speed Fruit ability is specifically designed for speed. If Vic were to say that to his face, Kizaru would never dare to say such a thing. He's just bullying a newcomer who hasn't been to the New World yet.
" Luffy! Run!"
Kizaru's only target was Luffy; everyone else was secondary and not worth his attention. Franky, who had freed his hands from the androids, removed his grip, revealing multiple gun barrels like Gatling guns. After shouting at Luffy, he fired at Kizaru's body.
Franky's bullets rained down on Kizaru's chest and head as if they were free, but Kizaru didn't stop moving at all, and his expression remained unchanged. It was as if Franky wasn't shooting at him at all.
" Franky! Don't waste your bullets! This guy, like Aokiji, is a Logia Devil Fruit user! You can't hurt him!"
Sanji was the first to realize the problem. They had already been through a lot and knew about the existence of the three types of Devil Fruit abilities. Now, seeing Kizaru's reaction, they had no other choice!
Despair has spread through the Straw Hat Pirates. Last time they encountered the invincible Aokiji, Rebecca helped them stop him. Who will come to their rescue this time?
Faced with an enemy they couldn't defeat, they were truly desperate. Only Robin's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope. On Ruluka Island, she saw Vic transform into Inazuma and leave. But not long after descending from the Sky Island, they encountered Marine Admiral Aokiji, and then Rebecca appeared just in time to save them!
She knew Rebecca's identity very well; she was Vic's partner. Combined with what Vic had told her in Alabasta, Robin had the idea of asking for help. This enemy was too powerful and too invincible; only a strong person like Vic could save them!
"This young man is truly wise! So, are you going to surrender?"
Kizaru continued Luffy. He walked very slowly, but the pressure he exerted on everyone was increasing. Every step he took felt like he was stepping on their hearts, trying to crush them!
This person is not only Logia Fruit user, but the power of his attacks is also terrifying. With just a casual kick, he broke such a thick tree trunk and caused such a huge explosion. Such an attack is simply not something a human could produce.
"No one's going to surrender! Everyone split up and escape. Meet at the beach in three days!"
For the first time, Luffy felt so powerless. He couldn't think of a way to defeat Kizaru, so he could only let his crew escape first. As long as they could survive these three days, their pirate ship would be coated, and they could leave for Fish-Man Island.
"You're the captain! Our pillar of strength, you can't afford to get hurt!"
Luffy shouted and tried to stop Kizaru by himself so that the others could escape. However, someone was faster than him. Sanji kicked him away with one kick, then lit the cigarette in his mouth with a carefree look, as if he were facing a tragic death!
Sanji's cool demeanor didn't last more than a few seconds before he was sent flying by a black sword hilt. The one who hit him was Zoro. Zoro didn't say a word, and after hitting Sanji, he charged towards Kizaru.
" Zoro!"*7
"Damn Moss Head!"
Ignoring his companions' shouts, Zoro, with Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, unleashed the Three-Sword Style technique!
Zoro's attack was quite fast, instantly passing through Kizaru's body and leaving two clear wounds on Kizaru's chest, almost cutting Kizaru in two!
However, Kizaru's wound did not bleed; instead, a golden halo emanated from it, similar to the bullet hole left by Franky's bullet. Kizaru did not turn back and continued Luffy, his broken skin visibly healing under the glow.
"Hateful!"
Zoro turned around and saw this scene, his face extremely solemn. He felt even more powerless than when he faced Doflamingo on Thriller Bark. He had been training very hard, but he felt that his speed of becoming stronger could not keep up with the increasingly powerful enemies. With a roar, Zoro charged towards Kizaru again.
This time, however, Kizaru didn't give up. With his hands in his pockets, he dodged Zoro's Sandai Kitetsu with a quick movement, then used a single leg to perform a powerful looping motion, instantly kicking Zoro in the side of the face with his other leg. Zoro's three swords flew out of his hand, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"Since you want to be the first, then I'll grant your wish!"
Kizaru stepped on Zoro's back with one foot, raised his other leg high, and aimed at Zoro's head with a dazzling golden light on his sole. This kick was guaranteed to blow Zoro's head apart!
Zoro's swordsmanship is indeed very fast, almost like teleportation, but in the eyes of Kizaru who excels in speed, it's just a snail's pace. He was just too lazy to dodge just now, but this guy under his feet keeps talking, so he has no choice but to attack him first. He can deal with the Straw Hat Boy next!
