Recalling how Uya had been hit by his laser but remained unharmed, a look of realization dawned on Kizaru's face.
"I see. You're not Logia Devil Fruit user, but rather a user of some kind of space-time fruit. You used spatial abilities to evade my attack..."
There are many types of space-type Devil Fruit, such as Dracula's Op-Op Fruit, and CP9's Blueno's Door-Door Fruit, etc., so they are not too rare.
Apart from the Space Fruit located at the source of all branches, the other spatial fruits are not particularly strong, or rather, the people who possess them do not develop them particularly well.
In the original work, Law's use of the ability to swap positions within a certain range with no cooldown was actually quite good. It was practically a version of Sasuke's Amenotejikara with unlimited release and an expanded effective range, not to mention his other abilities.
Even Law is not yet at the level of a Navy Admiral.
In this world, to stand at the top with just one Devil Fruit, besides the fruit itself being powerful, it also depends on who uses it.
Without a doubt, Uya is the strongest and most monstrous one among all the people with spatial abilities that Kizaru has ever seen!
He was completely focused on Uya. Even if he underestimated her, he wouldn't let his guard down. He kept using his Observation Haki, but he still couldn't dodge Uya's attack!
"Wait, it's not necessarily Logia..." Kizaru seemed to have thought of something else, looking at Uya with some disbelief, and said, "Could it be that you ate the Space-Space Fruit?!"
If we're talking about the two most extreme fruits in this world, existing only in legends, then without a doubt they are the most original Space Fruit and Time Fruit.
Various branches of the Time Fruit have emerged one after another, such as the Slow-Slow Fruit, the Return-Return Fruit, and so on. The same is true for the Space Fruit, but the most original Space Fruit and Time Fruit only exist in legends.
The Space Fruit is not Paramecia Fruit; legend has it that it is one of the Logia fruits. After eating it, it is said that, like the Ice-Freeze and Glint Devil Fruit, the body can be transformed into a void, and the user can directly manipulate space.
As for the Time Fruit, it's unclear whether it's Paramecia or Logia.
In that Devil Fruit encyclopedia compiled by an unknown author, the Space Fruit at least had a few words of description, but the Time Fruit didn't have a single word of description.
" Space Fruit... Hey, does such a Devil Fruit really exist?"
Hearing Kizaru's words, Uya's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "Unfortunately, I am not a user of the Space Fruit."
"I see..."
Kizaru seemed slightly relieved upon hearing Uya's words. If it really was the legendary Space Fruit, it would be terrifying. No one knew what kind of power that mysterious fruit, which only existed in legends, contained.
If Uya only possessed one type of Devil Fruit, that would be fine. It seems that Uya has developed the Devil Fruit's ability to an almost supernatural degree, which is why she had that effect just now.
"Should we continue fighting...?"
Kizaru, who originally had no desire to fight Uya, now found himself wanting to continue, because he wanted to figure out Uya's abilities.
The unknown is often the most terrifying thing.
But unfortunately, Uya's move had startled him, making him hesitant to continue Uya. What if Uya could add an extra Haki to that attack?
Kizaru didn't want to lose his life for no reason.
Kizaru initially thought Uya's swordsmanship wasn't particularly strong, but the addition of a space-time Devil Fruit that even terrified him made him somewhat unsure of what to do with Kizaru.
Only then did Kizaru believe that the claim that Uya and Hawk-Eye had fought to a draw was probably true; they had genuinely fought to a draw, and Uya might even have had a slight advantage.
"Forget it, let's not fight anymore. Let's go check out the Marine Headquarters."
Seeing Kizaru's expression, Uya had already lost interest in continuing the fight. He had fought enough; he already knew Kizaru's abilities pretty well, and it wouldn't serve any further purpose in sharpening his skills.
Considering that Kizaru, despite his carefree attitude, had at least served as a whetstone, Uya decided not to bother arguing with him.
And this guy is actually quite interesting...
If Kizaru knew that his evaluation of Uya was actually "interesting," he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.
Who dares to speak of a naval admiral like that?!
Even the Four Emperors take the Marine Admirals very seriously. Even if they say they don't care about the Marine Admirals, they would never underestimate or belittle them.
Not far from the island, a naval warship is anchored here.
There were some naval personnel on the shore, and also some on the warships. They were all gazing into the distance. After the roar and explosions subsided, they swallowed hard and exchanged glances.
Is it finally over?
"This is truly terrifying. If the fighting continues like this, this island might be shattered."
Even the rear admirals on the warships showed expressions of awe. As expected of Marine Headquarters admiral and the highest combat force of the Marine Headquarters, such strength was truly awe-inspiring.
In their view, since Uya, this 'pirate,' had provoked Kizaru to take action personally, he was probably either dead or crippled by now.
Whether the person is dead or crippled, they all have to go and carry them over; it's impossible for Admiral Kizaru to personally carry them over.
"Hurry, let's go over there."
Once he realized what was happening, the rear admiral immediately spoke in a deep voice, and then led a squad of marines to charge towards the battlefield between Kizaru and Uya.
However, before they could even begin to act, they saw a flash of light in the distance, and after a few blinks, Kizaru's body landed in front of them.
" Admiral Borsalino!"
Kizaru is a title. In general, the Navy will use a rank or "sir" after the name as a respectful form of address, rather than calling someone by their title directly.
Seeing Kizaru return unharmed, the rear admiral and the other marines showed no surprise, or rather, they dispelled the last trace of surprise in their hearts.
"You're back. I wonder how the prisoner is doing now? Is he dead? We'll go and clean him up right away." The Rear Admiral saluted Kizaru and spoke respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Kizaru's face immediately showed a strange expression, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Although he knew these guys had definitely misunderstood something, he had almost died just now, so his question sounded as if he were asking if he was dead.
"No need to go."
Kizaru was frustrated, but shook his head helplessly.
"I see... You fought too fiercely, are they completely reduced to ashes?" Upon hearing Kizaru's words, the Marine Rear Admiral immediately showed a look of awe. (To be continued.)
