One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 196 In the end, someone has to die [First Update]

"What a scary brat."

Kizaru narrowed his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, and smacked his lips. "However..."

Boom!
He had barely begun to say a sentence when his face suddenly became sunken and distorted.

Xia Nuo appeared before him without him noticing, and his right fist, like a meteorite, slammed into Kizaru's face, which had just put on a frivolous smile, causing his cheekbone to cave in and his nose to become crooked instantly.

Kizaru instinctively raised his Ama-no-Murakumo sword to defend, but Xia Nuo roughly brushed it aside with his left hand, grabbed his hair with his right hand, and delivered a powerful elbow strike to his face with his knee!
Click!

Kizaru's nose was completely broken, blood spurted out, and he was sent flying backward by the knee strike.

However, before he could regain his footing, Xia Nuo's figure had already approached again like a ghost!

Arriving directly above Kizaru in the air, he raised his right leg high like a battle axe, with black and red lightning crackling around it, and then slashed down fiercely!

boom! ! !
This kick landed squarely on Kizaru's chest!

The terrifying impact instantly pierced through his body, and the ice field collapsed with a roar centered on the point of impact, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading hundreds of meters away.

Kizaru coughed up blood and embedded himself deep into the ice like a cannonball.

But just as it was about to fall into the sea, its body suddenly transformed into countless golden specks of light, which then scattered.

Along those fine cracks, so fine that even ants would have difficulty passing through, they gathered on the ice surface and reformed into the shape of Kizaru.

He looked even more disheveled, and his breathing had weakened slightly.

However, that's all there is to it.

Really?
Xia Nuo narrowed his eyes, snorted, and had expected this; he was not surprised at all.

He had been fighting Kizaru for quite some time now, but it was getting dark, so it must have been at least six or seven hours.

in this period.

I've seen this scene countless times.

That's really tough!
As a user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, coupled with that slender physique...

No matter how you look at it, he should be a fragile character who focuses on agility.

The results of it?
The sheer size of her body, while not quite on par with Kaido or Big Mom, is not far off!
Chicken, Dog, and Monkey—these three veteran generals are all like this?

Even right now, Kizaru, whom Zephyr described as "overly reliant on his Devil Fruit ability," is ridiculously strong in terms of physical strength and hand-to-hand combat skills!
"This is really troublesome, old monkey!"

Xia Nuo laughed loudly, "My hands are a little numb from beating you, but I still haven't been able to take you down?"

Such a tricky method?

Kizaru took a deep breath; he was so angry his nose was practically crooked... even though his nose had already been crooked for a while.

If the other person's hands are just numb from typing...

What about me, who was completely dominated the whole time?
God knows how they did it!
This kid's physical strength is incomparable to what it was back in Enies Lobby; it has increased many times over!
Add to that the extremely high quality, thick and hard domineering aura, and the extremely strange fist technique that seemed to enhance defense out of thin air—

Most of his most proficient ranged attack moves are like tickling the opponent, causing little to no effective damage.

Using the Kusanagi Sword, in close combat and prolonged battles, one can occasionally take advantage of speed to seize openings and leave wounds on the opponent.

But the problem is...

That's a huge loss!
The victory I gained by sacrificing some of the fruit's properties could be easily... devoured and digested by the opponent!
That's right, it's about devouring and digesting!
Those skin-tearing wounds will be completely repaired in just a few breaths as the muscles wriggle like living things, as if nothing had ever happened.

...It's as if there's an insatiable beast hidden inside this boy's body, satisfying his greedy appetite amidst the attacks of external enemies!
Such powerful recovery ability...

And despite possessing extremely powerful sword skills, he rarely uses them, preferring to rely entirely on his domineering aura and physique to constantly suppress his enemies and wear down their will and spirit.

This fighting style... he seemed to see a familiar figure.

A terrifying guy I've fought before.

"Kaido..."

Kizaru's voice was hoarse, "You brat, you're starting to feel a lot like Kaido, whom I ran into at Enies Lobby."

"Kaido?"

Xia Nuo was taken aback at first, then clenched his fists and revealed a ferocious smile, "Don't compare that kind of guy to me!"

A surge of air rose from beneath his feet, propelling him upwards from the ice. He was about to charge at Kizaru, but the latter abandoned maintaining the form of the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, crossed his arms over his chest, and hissed:

"Yata no Kagami - Amaterasu!"

hum!hum!hum!
Countless golden mirrors simultaneously appeared densely in the sky within a radius of a thousand meters, each mirror reflecting a dazzling golden light directed at Xia Nuo.

Xia Nuo's eyes closed instinctively.

call out!
At that moment, those light mirrors also unleashed giant lasers almost as thick as the mirrors themselves, attacking Xia Nuo from every angle!
"Oh? So you finally couldn't resist pulling out your trump card? Things are starting to get interesting!"

Xia Nuo raised an eyebrow. Although he could no longer see it, his powerful Observation Haki allowed him to penetrate the interference and clearly sense the changes in the outside world.

boom!
He laughed wildly and threw a punch, his Conqueror's Haki materializing into a black and red torrent that surged outwards, instantly shattering the dozens or even hundreds of thick laser beams that had attacked first.

The spreading aftershocks directly engulfed and shattered many of the golden light mirrors.

But more optical mirrors still exist, and more large lasers are coming one after another.

laugh!
A golden laser beam finally pierced through the domineering defense, leaving a scorch mark under Xia Nuo's armpit.

Immediately afterwards, his right leg bent backward and his back was hit in succession, blood spurting out in a series of spurts. Kizaru's trump card had achieved an unprecedented effect at this moment!
"So, what's the price?"

Despite being covered in smoke, Xia Nuo continued to laugh heartily, completely ignoring his wounds and showing no intention of increasing his defensive strength. Instead, he reached behind his head with his right hand.

After exchanging greetings upon meeting, Masamune, who had not drawn his sword since, once again held it horizontally in his hand and unleashed a slash!
"Gods, sir!"

A crimson sword aura roared out, like a blood moon across the sky, instantly tearing through beams of light and heading straight for Kizaru, who was hiding behind a mirror somewhere.

"Got you!"

The price is that while maintaining Amaterasu, which is even more terrifying than the Yasakani no Magatama, one's body is completely unable to move!
Kizaru's pupils suddenly contracted.

He never expected that Xia Nuo's Observation Haki was so powerful that he could still accurately lock onto his true location even under such a dense barrage of beams of light!
"Oops……"

The crimson sword energy was extremely fast, and it arrived in front of us almost in the blink of an eye.

But in that extremely limited reaction time, Kizaru instantly released Amaterasu and suddenly transformed into a laser beam, flashing to the right!
Dodged!
To be able to dodge "divine evasion" unscathed under such circumstances is something probably only someone as a Flash could do.

Kizaru felt a slight sense of relief as cold sweat dripped down his forehead, but then he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Before him, and in the distance, in the direction from which the sword had slashed, there was no sign of Xia Nuo, nor any follow-up attacks.

Is this a feint?

The real attack was...

“Up there!”

Xia Nuo's sinister laughter rang out from above. Before Kizaru could even raise his head, he was struck hard on the back of the neck by a knee strike wrapped in black and red lightning!
Click——!
His spine groaned in agony as he coughed up a mouthful of blood and crashed to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

The direction it fell was towards the ice surface.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will once again transform into specks of light and scatter in all directions within the gap between the ice and the sea...

But this time, Xia Nuo had already anticipated the landing point. He flashed forward, arriving there first, his arm muscles bulging like coiled dragons, tightly embracing the falling Kizaru like an iron clamp, and then…

His entire body erupted with a terrifying, excessive, flood-like Conqueror's Haki, completely surrounding Kizaru and forcing back the light spots that had already been mostly elementalized.

Oops!

Kizaru's escape attempt failed, and he finally realized Xia Nuo's intentions, his expression immediately changing drastically! The next instant!
boom!
He was completely locked up by Xia Nuo, and the two of them smashed through the ice and sank into the sea amidst the surging hundred-meter water column!

……

at the same time.

Under the moonlight, in the southeast corner of the vast battlefield, a burst of azure lightning suddenly exploded on the ice surface, gradually coalescing into a human figure.

Or rather, it could barely be considered humanoid.

Enel knelt on the ground, his body covered in wounds, his chest heaving violently. His golden trident was already broken, and the ring of thunder drums behind him was also completely destroyed.

He stared intently at the tall figure that emerged step by step from the icy mist, and a hint of fear finally surfaced in his eyes.

"Damn Qinghai people, damn Qinghai people!!!"

He gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse, "Do you know that this is blasphemy! Blasphemy!"

navy……

Where exactly did they find this guy and recruit him to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

Xiong was speechless for a moment, then shook his head and said sincerely, "Stop talking nonsense. Your strength is not worthy of your arrogance."

"Shut up, mortal!"

Enel roared in fury, but when he saw the bear take another step closer, his body trembled and he involuntarily crawled backward on his hands.

He glanced subconsciously in the other directions out of the corner of his eye.

Kizaru and Shano were nowhere to be found, the two female swordsmen were still locked in fierce combat, and the remaining Marine forces, despite their overwhelming numerical advantage, were showing signs of exhaustion and were on the verge of collapse...

Gotta go!

He wasn't part of that navy group, so there was no need for him to risk his life for some unrelated mortal.

The reason he agreed to come was because Kizaru promised to help him contact the world's best shipbuilder as payment.

With this in mind.

Enel no longer hesitated, and suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning, soaring into the sky!

Did they just run away?

The bear raised its head, looked at the rapidly receding lightning, and frowned, clearly not expecting this turn of events.

Just run away.

Xiong shook his head slightly. He was not familiar with this newly appointed Shichibukai and had not heard of any bad reputation of him, so he naturally did not have much killing intent.

Since you're willing to just quit like this...

The bear ignored him, turned around, and strode away to support the rest of the people on the battlefield.

Finally, they can free up their hands. With their addition, the already defeated navy will only collapse and be destroyed at an even faster pace.

call out--!
Enel transformed into lightning and sped through the night sky, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. The humiliation and anger in his heart burned like wildfire.

Just wait, that big guy. Gods are not to be profaned; sooner or later...

Ok?
He suddenly noticed something and his gaze swept to the lower right.

There, on the giant rocks and walls of Dressrosa, a large number of people were gathered, and almost all of them were looking up at him.

"It's because of these mortals that we're so ashamed..."

Enel gritted his teeth.

If I remember correctly, this war was started by these people, right?

But now?

Why is it that these guys can stay here and watch the show peacefully, while I can only desperately run away, and they can see my miserable state clearly?
A wicked thought suddenly arose in his mind, and he abruptly changed direction, arriving high above Dressrosa. He spread his arms, thunderclouds gathered above his head, and violent currents surged wildly.

"Still looking? Still looking?"

"You lowly ants from Qinghai, since you dare to blaspheme the gods with your filthy eyes, then feel the wrath of the gods!"

"Thunderous Welcome - Heavenly Punishment!"

boom! ! !
A terrifying pillar of lightning, hundreds of meters in diameter, descended from the sky and struck Dressrosa!

However, just as the lightning was about to strike—

"Bonnie!"

The enraged bear suddenly appeared directly beneath the lightning pillar, thrusting its palms upwards.

A nearly transparent, bear-claw-shaped shockwave erupted instantly, colliding head-on with the lightning pillar!
Boom! ! !
The entire sky seemed to be torn apart, shockwaves and lightning intertwined to form a massive energy storm, completely dispersing the thunderclouds above Dressrosa, and moonlight once again shone upon the earth.

The remaining shockwaves poured onto Enel's chest.

With a dull thud, Enel, who had been laughing wildly, suddenly rolled his eyes back and fell from the sky, his consciousness fading.

Snapped.

The bear caught him with its large hand, then gripped Enel's throat. The bear's furious expression gradually calmed down, and a cold glint flashed in its eyes.

He could have spared Enel's life.

And that's already been done.

The results of it?
In return, the other party's malice grew again, and they went so far as to want to take their anger out on innocent civilians, including their own daughter Bonnie.

Such behavior has crossed his bottom line.

Just like the king in his hometown...

Unforgivable!!!

……

Boom!
dong dong!

Boom boom boom!
In the deep sea, Xia Nuo released Kizaru and used both fists to relentlessly rain down punches on Kizaru's body like a storm.

His punches grew faster and faster, each strike accompanied by black and red lightning, exploding into dazzling light in the dark seawater.

There were many fish swimming around, and even a few small sea monsters, but they were so frightened by what they saw that they swam away quickly.

Some can escape, but some cannot.

As a Devil Fruit user, Kizaru was completely powerless to resist in the deep sea.

He was like a broken sandbag, constantly being bombarded by immense force. His bones gradually cracked under the strain, and blood gushed from his mouth and nose, spreading a crimson stain in the seawater.

"Gululu..."

As they remained in the sea for longer and fell deeper, Kizaru struggled to exhale a string of bubbles, his eyes rolling back slightly.

Consciousness is gradually starting to fade...

　I finished writing this a few nights ago in the early hours of the morning; I almost worked myself to death. It's the beginning of the month today, and I was thinking of taking a break to rest, but I think I should finish this battle first. There will be another update around midnight tonight.

　　Also, a genius appeared in the book review section, and I was just wasting my time patiently explaining things to everyone. I should have just written more for everyone.
