Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Luffy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you really think you can leave so easily? The real war is just beginning."

Kizaru's voice rang in my ears.

"Also, it's not good to be distracted when you're fighting me."

Kizaru extended his finger, and light rapidly condensed before shooting out in an instant.

So fast, and without any obvious energy fluctuations.

Luffy's pupils contracted, and he immediately swung the black sword upwards. The black sword unleashed a muffled sonic boom, and the trajectory of the blade completely displaced the air, creating a brief vacuum!

The laser beam was cleaved in two, and an explosion rang out, engulfing most of Luffy's figure!

The shockwave sent dozens of nearby marines and pirates flying!

"Straw Hat Boy!!"

Ivankov gasped in shock.

He didn't even notice when Kizaru attacked!

That light was too fast, faster than the warning signal of ordinary Observation Haki.

Luffy, whose attention was clearly drawn to Ace just moments before, was able to react at the last second.

The admirals are all monsters, and Straw Hat Boy is no less so.

Ivankov's expression remained grim.

This is troublesome. That guy from the Divine Knights is only troublesome because he's immortal; in terms of strength, he's no match for a general.

He originally thought that Kizaru was just fast, after all, he was all about light.

However, those who truly pay attention to Kizaru's battle will realize that this laser beam can be incredibly fast, and Ivankov felt that his Death Eyes were completely ineffective in blocking it.

If we let him play, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long.

The smoke was quickly dispersed by the chaotic airflow.

Luffy's figure appeared, and he once again unleashed a flying slash with his sword.

It carries an air of dominance and is even faster.

But it missed in mid-air.

Kizaru seemed to be getting serious, his body transforming into light as he swiftly flew around Luffy, continuously shooting laser beams from his fingers.

Luffy assumed a sword-wielding stance, and with a whooshing sound, the black sword swiftly deflected the laser beam.

"Oh, how terrible, Straw Hat Boy."

Kizaru pouted, saying, "That's terrifying."

"Don't joke around, you still look like you're handling it with ease, don't you?"

The black sword in Luffy's hand shrank, then he sheathed it. He twisted his neck and made a few sounds. With a boom, the Haki patterns all over his body spread outwards.

Kizaru doesn't want to see Luffy transform again.

He raised his hand and unleashed a rapid-fire barrage.

Luffy charged straight at Kizaru, unleashing a powerful Haki attack imbued with black and red light.

"Rubber, Thunderfire Fist!"

The overwhelming aura quickly engulfed Kizaru's body, and the black and red light almost pierced the sky, dispersing the originally gloomy clouds.

Beside the black and red light, Kizaru's figure coalesced again, raising his hand and reaching out to Luffy.

Laser beams poured out.

click!

Luffy raised his hand to block, letting the laser hit his arm.

Simple Haki cannot defend against elements, but after Luffy enters Dark Lord form, his already powerful physical body becomes even stronger, further enhanced by Haki.

"Even lasers can't penetrate it? This is really troublesome. But you can't hold on for long, can you? You seem to be exhausted."

Kizaru emitted an even more intense light from his index finger. With a whoosh, all that was visible to onlookers was a blinding flash of light before an explosion erupted around Luffy.

It hit, and it went through; he increased the power of the shot.

"Developing Devil Fruit abilities isn't as simple as it seems," Kizaru said with a chuckle.

"Not so great either," Luffy muttered.

Bang!

A white shockwave suddenly appeared from the smoke created by the laser beam explosion.

The ice beneath Luffy's feet shattered completely, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Kizaru.

Kizaru could see that the wounds on his body were healing at an alarming rate.

What's wrong with this guy's physique?

It should be a mythical beast, right?

Luffy punched Kizaru right in the face!

"Yata Mirror, Shield".

The fist slammed into the golden light shield.

The light shield vibrated violently, emitting a humming sound as if it could not bear the strain.

Kizaru's expression changed slightly. "Has the speed become this exaggerated?"

"It's not over yet!"

Luffy forcefully flung Kizaru's light shield aside and soared into the sky.

The light shield suddenly exploded, turning into countless light particles.

Kizaru's figure disappeared again.

"Don't forget, I am light, and speed is my forte."

Kizaru's voice came from above and behind Luffy.

However, Luffy's fist, when extended, can also bend and grab at the air that was originally empty in front of him!

"But I saw it!"

Luffy grinned wildly, "Get down here!"

boom!

A pure and extreme burst of brute force!

The stream of light particles that Luffy had grabbed was pulled, and in mid-air, Kizaru's figure, which had just begun to solidify, suddenly froze, and for the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

His elemental dispersion and condensation are not entirely unaffectable.

When the opponent's strength and domineering aura reach a certain level, and their movement trajectory can be predicted, this process can be disrupted.

Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Luffy!

Using the recoil from that grab, Luffy twisted his body, and his right foot, covered in Haki, swept out like a battle axe, striking Kizaru squarely in the waist and abdomen area where he had just gathered most of his strength.

boom!

A muffled thud was heard.

Kizaru's body bent into an exaggerated arc, turning into a golden light, and crashed into the ice below like a meteor.

Boom!

The ice shattered, sending smoke, ice shards, and golden light soaring into the sky.

This attack finally made this admiral, who always seemed to have it all figured out, suffer a real loss!

"Admiral Kizaru?!"

"How is this possible?!"

The nearby naval commanders were horrified.

But before their exclamations could subside, golden light shone brightly again from the deep crater where the impact occurred, and Kizaru's figure shot out as a beam of light, instantly appearing high in the sky behind and to the side of Luffy.

There seemed to be a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly wiped it away, his face darkening.

"What an utterly unlovable brat," Kizaru remarked.

"Are you prepared to risk your life to stop me?" Luffy said coldly.

Kizaru pushed up his glasses, a cold glint flashing in the lenses. "I am, after all, a Marine."

He slowly raised his hands, palms facing upwards, and endless light particles began to converge from all directions, condensing between his hands.

"Rubber, White Giant, Hegemony!"

Luffy stretched his arms back, his rubber body creaking as it stretched to its limit. A surge of Haki, like tangible flames, coiled around him. Then, he suddenly brought his arms together and slammed them forward, unleashing a terrifying shockwave infused with Conqueror's Haki.

A black and red beam of light, more than five meters in diameter, instantly engulfed the airspace where Kizaru was located!

A faint golden light could be seen, and Kizaru's figure appeared, looking somewhat disheveled. Without pausing, he pointed his finger at Luffy.

"Yasakani no Magatama - Rapid Fire Type".

"Rubber White Giant Machine Gun - Chaos!"

No punches were seen being thrown; instead, countless white fist shadows suddenly erupted from Luffy's position in all directions!

The rain of light and the white fist shadow collided wildly in mid-air, and the ice below shattered in large areas in the terrifying aftershocks.

Kizaru's figure flickered, constantly changing positions. Luffy twisted his body to avoid the attack, then suddenly stomped through the ice to rush forward a distance, closing the distance with Kizaru.

In the sky and on the earth, the figures of the two chasing and fighting transformed into a storm of light and white, with the domineering aura of black and red intertwining and colliding with the blazing golden laser.

Each strike was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, sending chills down the spines of onlookers and causing them to instinctively move away from the area.

If you're not careful, you'll be swept away and die.

Kizaru is very fast, and he has developed his Devil Fruit ability to a very high level.
