I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

It's still a self-destruct bomb.

Aside from the two monsters Kaido and Big Mom, even Roger and Whitebeard would not fare well if they were hit at close range.

“For the World Government!” Guernica cried out, trying to see panic in Dick’s eyes.

But he was disappointed.

Dick's eyes showed not only no panic, but also seemed to hold... mockery?

Is it...

Guernica opened her eyes wide.

boom.

“I’m a natural science major,” Dick said, twitching his ears.

A laser beam from afar reached Dick's chest at the same time the bomb exploded.

With a whoosh, it passed through and caused an explosion.

"I see, so it's a Natural type." The lewd voice and the lewd person were none other than the lewd Kizaru.

"This is really troublesome," Kizaru said, scratching his head.

Not only are they natural-type, but their physical skills and Haki are also incredibly impressive.

It’s really, really horrible.

"Judging from your attack, you were here the whole time. Why didn't you make a move?" Dick asked curiously.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I just arrived myself. Don't frame me." Kizaru shook his head.

“Hmph, whatever,” Dick drew his knife. “I’ve heard you’re quite skilled with a sword; I’d like to test my skills.”

“Kouwaina!” Kizaru exclaimed.

Not only is he skilled in physical combat, domineering aura, and natural magic, but he's also proficient in swordsmanship.

It’s really, really horrible.

stab.

The large sword and the Kusanagi sword officially clashed.

Bang bang bang.

In the rapid exchange, the movements of the two men's hands were completely invisible; only their upper bodies, with their movements slightly less pronounced, were vaguely discernible.

Dang Dang Dang.

The sound of their collision, growing louder and louder, gradually carried into the distance.

200 meters, 1 kilometer, 5 kilometers, 10 kilometers—that's pure collision of power.

"Did you get kicked by the light?"

As he spoke, Kizaru raised his leg and delivered a light-speed kick.

"The wind is invisible and traceless." A faint, ethereal voice.

It came from all around.

The beam of light passed right past the afterimage, slammed into the ground, and kicked up a cloud of rubble.

Kizaru swung his sword backhand, barely managing to block the incoming large blade.

"That's really fast," Kizaru exclaimed.

This time it's for real.

“Same to you, you’re really fast,” Dick said.

No matter how fast the wind blows, it can't outrun the light.

In terms of straight-line speed, Kizaru should be the fastest in the world.

Kizaru didn't say anything, but his eyes reflected light.

"Unfortunately, you've dragged down the Glint-Glint Fruit."

Kizaru: (ˉ▽ˉ；)

"Isn't that right? If it's really the speed of light, you wouldn't be able to react at all. Aren't you just slowing Gilgamesh down?"

Kizaru: ...

That sounds nice, like you can react at the speed of light.

"If I were the user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, I would be invincible in the world."

Kizaru: (ˉ▽￣～)

"Oh ho ho ho, you've really angered this old man," Kizaru chuckled.

However, the air pressure dropped even further.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing the true strength of the Admirals."

Dang Dang Dang.

The two began their sword duel.

Both are natural-type beings, and both are masters of swordsmanship.

Dick's swordsmanship was honed through countless trials, with extremely solid fundamentals. It was concise, efficient, and without any weaknesses in power, speed, or technique.

Combined with fire damage, it has a wide range of destructive power.

As for Kizaru, thanks to his Devil Fruit ability, he possesses incredible speed, unleashing a barrage of attacks. And speed is power.

Light-speed kick.

The beam of light collided with the Great Sword, causing another explosion.

Before the aftershocks had subsided, Kizaru had already charged forward again.

That's the good thing about the natural system.

As long as you don't possess overwhelming power, you can attack at will.

One-Sword Style, Gale.

After the Nine Nether Wind Flame awakened, Dick developed a new sword technique.

The combination of Nine Nether Wind and Flame with swordsmanship, the sharpness and speed of the wind, and the attack of the flames are all integrated together.

A fierce wind howled, sending sharp, dagger-like blades flying, whipping up snow and obscuring vision. It served both as an attack and a means of disrupting the opponent's vision; the powerful pulling force also interfered with Kizaru's movements.

What followed was a fatal blow carried by the wind.

shoot.

Kizaru's figure vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away.

"Oh my god, I almost got taken down just now." Kizaru opened his mouth wide and looked away.

Dick: (ˉ▽ˉ；)

"Consider yourself lucky. I almost managed to take you down. What a pity," Dick smacked his lips.

Kizaru: (ー`ー)

I was just saying it casually, but you actually took it seriously.

Kizaru felt he had met his match, in every sense of the word.

He usually gets really good at showing off, so why is the guy on the other side acting so unpredictably?

"By the way, how old are you?"

"Ah, 19 years old."

"Hiss." Kizaru suddenly gasped.

There was only one thought in my mind.

So terrifying.

Looking at Dick's face, he already knew that the other party was not old, but was this age a bit too young?

"You're not wrong?" Kizaru asked doubtfully.

She's only 19.

Pousalino was already 26 years old when he joined the Navy, and he was a monster recruit from the start.

Kizaru was quite proud of this.

But look at 18-year-old Dick.

Kizaru remained silent.

Suddenly, I realized that my talent wasn't anything special.

“Of course that’s right.” Dick was still a little unwilling.

There was no way around it; when Wang Luffy was 19, he had already defeated Kaido.
