Kizaru, Have You Heard of the Yellow Flash?

Ivan's aura was like a clear blue sky, pressing down on Kizaru. In a daze, he seemed to see his younger self.

What he once upheld was not an ambiguous sense of justice; who hasn't been young, and who hasn't been passionate?

But when his power is insufficient, he has no choice but to compromise with evil. Even the purest justice will be tainted, becoming messy and unrecognizable.

Aokiji is like this, he is like this, and even Akainu's extreme sense of justice has changed somewhat.

Is he always this unreliable?

That's not true!

But insufficient power is insufficient; these young people simply cannot comprehend the power of the World Government!

He is said to be one of the Three Admirals of the Navy and one of the World's Strongest fighters, but there are more than ten of the World's Strongest fighters in that holy land high in the Sky Manipulation alone.

Ha, the strongest fighting force, how laughable!

Because of ignorance, there is fear; because of knowledge, there is reverence. Therefore, Kizaru will do everything in his power to capture the Tanuki and maintain the stability of the ocean!

This is the best option!

Kizaru stretched out a finger and scratched his weathered cheek. "This is really troublesome, kid. Since you won't listen to reason, I have no choice but to take you back. You know, to uphold justice, you can't do without power!"

Ivan showed no fear. "So you're quite confident you can catch me?"

Kizaru slowly raised his foot, his entire sole enveloped in golden light. He answered with his actions, "Speed is power. Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

A dazzling light shone before Ivan, transforming into a brilliant cross, which would be used to judge the Tanuki.

An unprecedented sense of oppression, like a mountain pressing down on him, made Ivan feel immense pressure.

Faced with such a powerful aura, even before engaging in combat, his instincts told him that he was no match for Kizaru.

However, he did not dodge. He believed he could withstand Kizaru's attack and wanted to see just how big the gap was between himself and Admiral!

A flash of light, and the high-ranking cross finally unleashed divine punishment upon Ivan.

In an instant, the beam collided with Ivan, who crossed his arms in an attempt to block it.

The unstoppable force struck Ivan, and his arm was immediately burned by the scorching beam of light.

The next moment, he was also sent flying, turning into a blur as he crashed through buildings and disappeared into the ruins.

Kizaru strode towards Ivan, extremely satisfied with the result of his kick.

He delivered this kick based on Ivan's previous performance, aiming to knock Ivan unconscious but not kill him.

"How terrifying, young man. It seems I have no choice but to teach you a lesson."

Just as Kizaru thought he had easily defeated Shadow Garden with a single kick, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Suddenly, a fist burst from the ground in the distant ruins, instantly blasting away the surrounding rubble.

Ivan's figure also appeared before Kizaru. He had a charred footprint on his chest, but other than that, he was not seriously injured.

This scene clearly caught Kizaru off guard, but he quickly realized, "How terrifying. So, your fight with Lucci just now wasn't even your true strength?"

As Ivan emerged from the rubble, his chest wound healed rapidly; at his level, Life Return was almost instinctive.

Once his physical condition had returned to its peak, Ivan stretched and burst into laughter.

"So this is what Admiral is like? Nothing special! If you can't defeat me instantly, then you'll have no chance to stop me!"

Kizaru was taken aback. "What are you talking about?"

Ivan didn't explain, but grinned and said, "Kizaru, have you ever heard of the Yellow Flash?"

"Yellow Flash?" Kizaru, somewhat bewildered. "Are you talking about me?"

"Perhaps... Kizaru, let's see who's faster!"

The next moment, Kizaru realized that Ivan's figure had vanished from his sight in an instant.

He quickly used his Observation Haki to sense Ivan's presence and was astonished to find that Ivan's figure was actually in the home of an official several hundred meters away.

He rushed over, but by the time he arrived, it was too late.

The official's head had already been torn off by Ivan, and when Kizaru appeared, the bloody head rolled right at Kizaru's feet.

Kizaru stopped posing and directly gathered a flash of light, kicking it towards Ivan.

But Ivan's figure disappeared from sight again, only to reappear a hundred meters away.

In this way, every time Kizaru arrived, he was a step too late. In the constant pursuit, he might be able to hit Ivan with one blow, but Ivan was equally powerful and would never lose the ability to fight back.

With his Life Return, Ivan's injuries healed rapidly, and he was back to peak condition within seconds.

In just a few dozen seconds, the two figures intersected within Water 7, circling the Water 7 dozens of times!

Once he was certain his plan had succeeded, under the intense pressure of Kizaru's pursuit, Ivan's expression became almost ferocious with excitement.

He laughed heartily and used Flying Thunder God Technique again to dodge Kizaru's attack, "Kizaru, it's said that the fate of speedsters is always to be late. In battles between speedsters, even a slight difference in speed can make a world of difference."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an incredibly thick beam of light struck where Ivan had been standing, completely destroying the buildings within a radius of tens of meters!

Ivan appeared atop the clock tower in Water 7, his clothes torn and even burning with flames, his appearance utterly wretched.

But no matter who it is, upon seeing Ivan at this moment, every cell in their body will tremble involuntarily, experiencing an unconscious sense of horror.

At that moment, Ivan stood atop the clock tower, his voice incredibly arrogant, proclaiming to the scattered navy Water 7, the News Coo in the sky, and the common people of Water 7:

"From this day forward, the fastest man in the world will no longer be Admiral Kizaru, but me, the Dark Night Garden Tanuki!"

We are those who lurk in the Shadow, hunters of the Shadow. Today, we thoroughly cleanse the sins of Water 7 and warn the darkness of the world!

Ha ha ha, my friends in darkness, beware of the deepest depths of darkness, where a scythe is held to your necks!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ivan disappeared again, and the clock tower was destroyed by the laser that followed.

Even now, Kizaru has been pursuing Ivan with all his might, but how can light compare to Teleportation?

Just as Ivan said, as long as Kizaru cannot defeat him in an instant, then Kizaru can only watch helplessly as Ivan does everything he wants to do and wipes away all the darkness in Water 7!

The battles of speedsters are battles of speed; a mere hair's breadth can make all the difference!

When Ivan's announcement ended, everyone in Water 7 knew that Admiral Kizaru was currently fighting Tanuki.

Countless people watched this scene in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

This is a rare defeat for Admiral, and it also signifies the end of the myth of the Navy's speed by the Dark Night Garden!

The fastest at sea has officially changed hands!
