Chapter 158

Then, just as Naito said, even concentrated Haki couldn't completely withstand it, so now that the Haki was dispersed, it was even more vulnerable!

The massive, Earth Heavy Fist was cleaved in two, and the Radiant Sword swept across Jiaji's right arm, which he couldn't retract in Tokikake.

"Forehead!"

Tokikake let out a muffled groan.

Another gash appeared on my forearm.

Damn it, why didn't I realize Borsalino's sword was so terrifying before?

The lightsaber has already given chase again.

Tokikake doesn't even dare to use his abilities anymore.

Ultimately, the soil strength is still too low!

If he were on the ground, he could use the soil, but now he's in the air!

He could only swing his fists and use his Haki to fight back.

So, naturally, in the short exchange, he was left with charred sword wounds all over his body.

Tokikake.

What a terrifying guy!

This guy's swordsmanship was utterly clumsy, but with his overwhelming speed and power, coupled with the sharpness of his lightsaber, he forced the other to only parry with difficulty.

At that very moment, a dazzling light shone in Tokikake's eyes.

After Tokikake Kaji back with another sword strike, the light from Kamen Rider's left arm was poised to strike at almost zero distance.

"Oops--"

There wasn't enough time to build another Earth-Style Wall!

Boom!!

The violent explosion once again shook the sky.

Another ball of light illuminated the night sky, and wave after wave of gale-force winds spread out, transforming into white waves that were almost visible to the naked eye.

A figure plummeted downwards like a cannonball.

Boom!

He slammed heavily onto the wide plaza in front of Pangaea Castle, shattering the thick stone slabs into pieces. The ripples spread outwards, causing the entire plaza to undulate like the surface of a sea, until large cracks left the plaza in ruins.

"Call--"

Naito let out a relaxed sigh of relief.

That feels good.

I've indeed become very strong.

Although it was just a clone, by not creating too many projections and instead using all its physical and mental energy to strengthen itself, it was already easy to Tokikake, who was at the level of a Yonko vice-president.

However, to be fair, Tokikake to proper Yonko vice-presidents like Jin, Katakuri, and Marco, Kajiri still lacks some unique skills.

Jhin's racial advantage, Katakuri's Future Sight, and Marco's regenerative abilities are all top-tier troublemakers.

In comparison, Tokikake is just an ordinary Imperial Vice-President; he has no distinguishing features.

Suddenly, light converged in front of Naito.

"Oh, this is the first time I've encountered someone using a similar tactic to mine."

A gleaming lightsaber slashed towards him.

Without any hesitation, Naito swung his sword with his right arm to meet the attack.

Two gleaming blades clashed, scattering dazzling sparks.

This time, it was Naito's turn to be cleaved away by a sword.

However, it didn't fly very far.

The gap in strength is not insurmountable.

If it were the original body, with the enhancement from projection, it would be perfectly capable of putting up a fight.

Naito steadied himself, thinking to himself.

"Oh!"

The men who came to provide support, Kizaru, who was floating lightly in the sky, was even wearing pajamas and his hair was a bit messy.

His gaze turned serious as he looked at the figure not far away. "You're as strong as a monster. Where did someone like you come from?"

They are very strong, an enemy that even he has to take seriously!

"It's probably another world."

Naito shrugged.

Another world, huh?

Kizaru smirked. "Seriously, even lying should have some logic."

"Hmm... Borsalino, you've finally arrived..."

Below, Jiaji, his body tattered and his face Tokikake, crawled out of the huge crater. He looked up and said, "Watch out, this guy's left-hand armor can fire a beam cannon!"

"A beam cannon?"

Kizaru narrowed his eyes.

Besides Dr. Vegapunk, who else possesses lightsabers and beam cannons?

"Okay, I've vented enough."

Naito casually pressed his hand to his belt, "That's enough for today."

"Is this the end?"

Kizaru clasped his hands together at his waist. "Your word doesn't count, Yasakani no Magatama!"

The light refracted in the air and reached Naito's side.

The next instant, Kizaru appeared beside Naito. "You were kicked at the speed of light—what?"

Kizaru, who was already poised to deliver a lightning-fast kick to this mysterious enemy, was completely stunned.

They've disappeared.

The enemy vanished instantly before his eyes.

It's not invisibility, and it's not rapid displacement.

Rather, it truly disappeared.

"Could it be,"

Cold sweat beaded on Kizaru's forehead. "Is that Instant Transmission?"

Vegapunk possessed a similar technique, but it required a specific area and special arrangements to be made!

What is going on!

At the same time, figures rushed out of Pangaea Castle.

Naito, also dressed in pajamas, followed behind Zephyr, his previously listless eyes regaining their sparkle.

Although I didn't get to visit Pangaea Castle, I still had a very pleasant evening overall.

Chapter 110 Heart-to-Heart Talk, The Five Elders, The Empty Throne, and Vivi

When the first collision with Tokikake produced a loud bang, Naito's main body had already rolled off the bed.

As it turned out, the timing was perfect.

"What on earth happened?!"

Garp the Hero charged ahead, his clothes also in disarray. He first looked up at Kizaru floating in the sky, then quickly rushed to Tokikake, who was slumped on the shattered ground.

"Tokikake, who were you fighting just now?"

"Oh my, Tokikake was injured to this extent in such a short time?"

The lingering weariness in Admiral Aokiji's eyes, who was closely following Garp, had long since disappeared, and his gaze was extremely solemn.

"He's a very troublesome guy."

The light converged, Kizaru had been high in the sky just moments before, was now standing right beside them. He sighed helplessly, "Not only does he possess extraordinary strength, but he also seems to have some kind of unique movement ability. I couldn't stop him either."

"Tokikake, let's start from the beginning!"

Zephyr's eyes were grave. "What exactly happened just now!"

"It's embarrassing to look like this in front of Gion- chan, but I guess I can't hide it anymore."

Covered in dust Tokikake in sword wounds, Jia Ji sighed helplessly.

He began to recount what had just happened.

There's not much to say, really; he just accidentally discovered an invisible, mysterious person during his patrol.

Without any hesitation, Tokikake his men to report the news, he himself chose to engage in battle.

Then he got beaten up.

"Invisibility, laser weapons, and what appears to be the ability to teleport?"

Zephyr immediately frowned.

"It was probably all achieved through his armor."

Kizaru added, "Before disappearing, he patted his belt."

"So, technology?"

Aokiji scratched the back of his head. "Borsalino, does Dr. Vegapunk possess such technology?"

"That's something I find hard to believe too,"

Kizaru sighed again, "Even the technology on the professor's side is still far from perfect."

"Technology of this level could not possibly be created by a single scientist in a small laboratory!"

Garp's expression turned grave. "There's probably an even greater power lurking behind that guy!"

"That's right!"

Zephyr nodded in deep agreement. Technology, personnel, funding, equipment—scientific research is extremely expensive. The government allocates astronomical sums of money to the Science Unit every year.

The technology displayed by that attacker was definitely not something an ordinary person could create.

"There are still too few places in this world that we can see with our eyes!"

"Is deliberately choosing to infiltrate during the Reverie some kind of provocation?"
