Chapter 134 A Navy Admiral, Actually Not a Match for One Strike?! (Third Update, 12 Words, Please Subscribe!)

"Breaking news! Big news!"

The World Economic News, headquartered on a strange, teapot-shaped spaceship connected to a hot air balloon.

"Big News!" Morgans, with an arrogant, bird-like gait, paced back and forth in his president's office, his right hand, which had seemingly transformed into bird wings, deftly grasping a fax letter delivered through secret channels.

"Imperial City under attack?"

"The attacker is suspected to be—King Shiki II?"

"This is huge news! It'll definitely shock the entire ocean! Hahaha!"

Morgans gripped the fax tightly in his hand, closed his eyes, craned his neck, and involuntarily shivered.

The feeling of revealing "big news" to the world was simply irresistible to him.

But at that moment, Morgans's "instinct" as a journalist surged into his mind.

"Imperial City was attacked... The word 'attacked' is really unappealing!"

"Although Impel Down is known as an impregnable fortress, there have been several prisoners who have escaped from it."

"So, 'attack'... should be changed to 'destruction'? 'ruining'? 'collapse'? 'Collapse' is definitely better!"

In a short moment, a brand new news headline appeared in the mind of the big news bird Morgans.

The world's largest prison collapsed! The culprit was—

"Hmm! This title is excellent! It makes you want to read it right away!"

After Morgans returned to his president's office, he took out his quill pen and began to write furiously.

With a series of swishing sounds, Morgans wrote a news report that was both ornate and eye-catching.

Even now, the World Economic News has not yet confirmed the veracity of this news.

But this is big news!

Timeliness is even more important!

Morgans could no longer tolerate the situation he had encountered before.

The World Government inexplicably issued a bounty on a man named Edward Teach.

Even more outrageous is...

The World Government not only set a terrifying bounty of nearly two billion Berries for this man, but also called him "Whitebeard Jr."

What was the most terrifying thing about this incident?

The World Economic News is completely unaware of the earth-shattering events that "Whitebeard II" has actually accomplished!

The dignity of journalists has been trampled underfoot by world governments!

How terrifying!

Morgans quickly sent the press release he had written to the printing department, and then had his subordinates polish and format the manuscript, adding more pictures of Impel Down.

"President! Is this news true?"

Just then, the editor in charge of proofreading knocked on the door of the president's office and asked, slightly nervously.

"Why do I only see textual information and nothing else—"

"Of course, it's because I haven't filmed Impel Down yet!"

Morgans interrupted the editor abruptly, urging him on.

"Get this big news out there! I want everyone in the entire ocean to see my report!"

"But, President..."

The editor hesitated again.

"If this kind of big news were reported, it would definitely provoke dissatisfaction from the government, wouldn't it?"

"Um?"

Morgans was taken aback as he looked at the editor who had taken the initiative to offer advice.

"Are you from the newspaper?"

The editor, confused, replied, "Yes, President!"

"very good."

Morgans nodded first, then said coldly.

"You're fired!"

The editor was instantly dumbfounded.

"This is the World Economic News Agency, not the press department of the world government!"

Morgans stood up and straightened his bow tie.

"I am the president of the World Economic Daily!"

"I'll report whatever I want!"

Before the editor could react, Morgans suddenly spread his wings, nimbly flew to the editor's side, grabbed the latter's collar with one hand, and then flew with him to the window of the president's office.

"Get lost! You cowardly coward with no guts whatsoever as a journalist!"

Morgans threw the editor out of the spaceship, leaving him to plummet into the vast ocean below.

Followed by.

Morgans also quickly ran out of his president's office.

The "Destruction of Impel Down" news series could be a long-term report.

In its initial reports, the World Economic Daily could still manage to deceive the public with plain text articles.

But you absolutely must provide some real substance later on!

"Breaking news! Breaking news!"

Morgans issued orders within the World Economic News office.

"Send out all the news birds that are near the Navy Headquarters and the area around Enies Lobby."

"Let's attach a few more camera Den Den Mushi to them!"

"I need firsthand news from Impel Down!"

……

Impel Down, above the sky.

The battle between Shiki II and Kizaru continues.

After engaging in battles and encounters with top-tier experts.

The Golden Lion II has gradually digested his eight-star Observation Haki and mastered the new ability to "read people's minds".

This combat ability to "read minds" can provide excellent support, whether in battle or in other aspects.

With the help of this "reading people's minds" [Observation Haki], Shiki II was able to handle the battle with ease.

Every move Kizaru makes, every battle idea he has, will be detected in advance by Shiki Jr., who will then react accordingly.

In terms of specific manifestations, the Golden Lion II's "reading people's minds," while not "predicting the future," can achieve a similar effect.

Kizaru was very uncomfortable with an opponent who could see through people's hearts.

However, his "Glint-Glint Fruit" is no joke either.

After experiencing the initial attack by the "Seastone Wood Spikes," Kizaru became extremely vigilant and no longer blindly relied on the physical immunity provided by the "Glint-Glint Fruit."

If those "sea stone and wood spikes" attacks happen a few more times, Kizaru is really worried he'll be in trouble...

In the ensuing battle, Kizaru chose to play it safe, relying solely on the extreme speed and powerful attacks of the Glint-Glint Fruit to keep the Golden Lion Jr. entangled with him.

The Golden Lion II can read his inner thoughts.

However, Kizaru's own speed is fast enough.

Even if King Shiki II made some very fancy changes.

Kizaru can also use the extreme speed of the [Glint-Glint Fruit] to forcibly avoid the opponent's attack damage.

"Lion's Might - Sea Spinach!"

King Shiki II raised his right hand, summoning endless seawater, which he formed into towering, massive waterspouts that blasted towards Kizaru.

Kizaru didn't even try to take the seawater's attack head-on, nor did he even think about releasing a beam of light to destroy the seaspouts. He simply dodged them in an instant.

Before the seawater completely closed in, Kizaru slipped away from the encirclement.

After retreating to a safe position, Kizaru unleashed the "Yasakani no Magatama," bombarding the sky with a barrage of golden light bullets at Shiki II.

However, Shiki II had already sensed Kizaru's thoughts. He moved at lightning speed through the sky, nimbly avoiding the range of the "Yasakani no Magatama".

After the most ferocious round of attacks from the "Yasakani no Magatama" ended.

King Shiki II swung his [Sakura Ten] sword, shattering the last shining light bullet aimed at him; the sharp sword sliced ​​the bullet in two.

The two-part light bullets continued flying backwards, then exploded in mid-air with a deafening roar, their power no less than that of ordinary naval cannons.

"Kizaru".

Golden Lion II floated freely in the sky, calling out to Kizaru on the other side.

"If we continue fighting like this, neither of us will be able to determine a winner."

Golden Lion Jr. can read Kizaru's thoughts, and can prepare in advance no matter what the other party does.

Kizaru's Observation Haki doesn't have any special abilities, but he does have the Glint-Glint Fruit.

For any other non-speed user, Kizaru's [Glint-Glint Fruit] gives him an invincible advantage.

From this perspective.

Kizaru agrees with the statement that the match was "a draw".

After the battle just now, Kizaru has realized the strength of Shiki Jr.

His Observation Haki was unexpectedly powerful, combined with his Float-Float Fruit and his swordsmanship...

It looks like a combination of "The Lone Red" and "Shiki the Golden Lion".

monster!

An absolute monster!

But the admirals are also monsters.

It's a little embarrassing to say that...

However, Kizaru was prepared for a protracted battle.

The Golden Lion II used Devil Fruit abilities at a high frequency during the battle just now, which definitely took some toll.

Moreover, the opponent is constantly releasing advanced Observation Haki, which will only increase their stamina consumption.

Kizaru only needs to wait until his opponent is exhausted before he can easily capture him.

The advantage lies with me!

"That kind of thinking is truly shameful, Kizaru."

Although Kizaru didn't say anything, Shiki Jr. had already caught his thoughts.

"Didn't you see the flock of newsbirds around here?"

"The Marine Headquarters Admiral forcibly stalled for time, which is how he defeated a rookie pirate..."

"Wouldn't this completely tarnish the reputation of the 'World Government's Supreme Military Force'?"

"A newbie? Don't be ridiculous."

Kizaru glanced indifferently at the newsbirds in the distance; he had naturally noticed the presence of this flock of seagulls as well.

However, he also noticed the camera Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped insects) on the other person's body.

This is definitely a "reporter bird" specially dispatched after that "big news" received the news!

This time.

What happened in Impel Down cannot be easily covered up by the government like it did last time.

Kizaru merely glanced at the group of "reporter birds" before looking away.

"As for the general's dignity..."

Kizaru said in a deep voice, showing none of his usual slick and flippant manner.

"If I let you escape, I'll lose face!"

"What a nuisance. I hate enemies as fast as you the most."

"Golden Lion II said casually."

"You can't cut it down, and you can't drive it away."

"What a pity~"

Kizaru made a delicate gesture with his fingers, and another burst of cross-shaped light bloomed at his fingertips.

"This is my [Glint-Glint Fruit]!"

The mocking words of the Golden Lion II still seemed to echo in Kizaru's ears.

Is it really that amazing that Observation Haki can read people's minds and predict the future?

Why should we look down on people like them who only rely on their Devil Fruit abilities to make a living?

That wretched brat!

Who do you think you are?!

"The Eight-Foot Jewel!"

"That trick again!"

The Golden Lion II's lips twitched slightly. He reached out and grasped at the surrounding seawater, not bothering to reshape it, but simply grabbing a handful of seawater.

However, this mass of seawater is only a tiny fraction of a billion in volume.

King Shiki II fully utilized his speed, weaving through the saturation barrage of light bullets formed by the "Yasakani no Magatama," while the sea below continuously roared.

Whoosh—whoosh—

The seawater in the Calm Zone, pulled by the [Float-Float Fruit], flew directly into the sky.

The most outrageous thing is...

The volume of this mass of seawater is in no way inferior to that of Impel Down next to it!

King Shiki II floated the seawater into the sky and then manipulated it to crash down.

"Underwater Hell!"

The seemingly endless seawater transformed into a massive, almost cloud-covering "sea island," surging towards Kizaru as if to bury the Marine Admiral along with Impel Down below.

Kizaru's expression changed slightly.

Having fought with Shiki II for so long, he had somewhat overlooked the fact that the Float-Float Fruit was a terrifying fruit capable of causing natural disasters at any time!

Kizaru can easily dodge this "sea island" that fell from the sky using his [Glint-Glint Fruit] ability, but he can't do that with Impel Down below.

If Impel Down is destroyed, all of Kizaru's previous efforts will be in vain.

Kizaru took a deep breath and instead of dodging away as before, he concentrated his Devil Fruit power in his feet, and his right leg once again transformed into a golden thigh.

"Ama-Iwato!"

A high-energy beam containing terrifying power burst forth from Kizaru's right leg, blasting through the entire "sea island" with unstoppable force, and causing a series of explosions the moment it touched the seawater.

boom!!!--

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

The "Undersea Hell" summoned by Shiki II was instantly destroyed by Kizaru's "Heavenly Rock Cave".

Ordinary seawater was no match for the high-energy bombardment of the [Glint-Glint Fruit], and was directly blasted into water vapor that filled the sky.

Water vapor constantly rises from the sea surface into the high atmosphere and then accumulates.

The environment around Impel Down also became gloomy and dark.

Rumbling--

Accompanied by several dazzling bolts of lightning, thunder rumbled in the air.

Just a second ago, Kizaru, who had expended a great deal of energy to completely destroy "Underwater Hell," breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But in the next second, Kizaru's expression turned extremely serious.

The sudden clap of thunder reminded him of another old friend.

Kizaru suddenly looked at Shiki Jr., only to find that a burly and robust figure had appeared beside him at some point.

"Whitebeard II..."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Kizaru's forehead as he uttered the name with difficulty.

"Edward Teach!"

"Kizaru, don't say we're ganging up on you. You're a Marine Admiral."

Standing beside Whitebeard Jr., King Shiki chuckled as he looked down at Kizaru.

"Now, let's change players."

Boom!

The moment the Golden Lion II finished speaking.

Whitebeard Jr. transformed into lightning, streaking across the air like lightning bolts, and arrived directly in front of Kizaru.

Electric Current Propulsion - Lightning Kick!

Whitebeard Jr.'s right leg emitted dazzling lightning, carrying the momentum of thunder, as it slammed towards Kizaru in front of him.

[MoMo Fruit - 100x Power]!

Kizaru quickly raised his arms to protect himself.

boom!

Whitebeard Jr.'s right leg struck Kizaru's arms directly, and the collision between their bodies instantly created a shockwave that spread outwards in all directions.

Kizaru only managed to hold out for a very short time.

The astonishing power emanating from Whitebeard II's right leg transformed him into a beam of light, shooting directly into the sea below.

boom!

In the astonished gazes of Magellan and Shiryu.

A towering current suddenly erupted from the sea surrounding Impel Down.

Kizaru plunged directly into the sea, his fate unknown.

A naval admiral was no match for Whitebeard Jr.?!

Magellan shuddered and unhesitatingly unleashed the power of the [Venom-Venom Fruit], immediately entering [Awakened] state and transforming into a towering and terrifying "Venom Giant Soldier".

On the other side, Shiryu of the Rain also drew his famous sword, Thunderstorm, from his waist. Powerful Armament Haki wrapped around the blade of Thunderstorm, temporarily forging it into a "black sword".

The two walls of Impel Down were prepared for defense almost simultaneously.

But Whitebeard II merely glanced at the "Great Wall" and "Second Wall" of Impel Down before transforming into lightning and returning to the side of Golden Lion II.

Magellan and Shiryu kept replaying Whitebeard Jr.'s arrogant gaze in their minds, and both Impel Down wardens felt extremely ashamed.

Even though Whitebeard II had just casually struck out a bolt of lightning.

Magellan and Shiryu wouldn't feel that embarrassed yet.

But the enemy didn't even have the intention of attacking them...

In Whitebeard II's eyes, the "two walls" of Impel Down seemed to be nothing more than two wisps of air.

Whitebeard II returned to the side of Golden Lion II.

A magnificent and dreamlike eight-star grand prize trophy leaped out from the void.

[Moonlight Trophy: Kizaru Borsalino]

[Tournament Rating: ★★★★★★★★]

King Shiki II piloted the few warships that hadn't been completely destroyed in the battle and flew towards the vast sky.

They watched as those flying warships disappeared completely into the distance.

Magellan then exited the "Poison Giant Soldier" state, but he was still terrified.

However, in the next instant...

Magellan suddenly realized something.

"Shiliu! Save him!"

Shiryu of the Rain's lips twitched slightly before he reluctantly jumped into the sea.

Several streaks of blood-red light flashed from the depths of the sea.

Shiryu, carrying Kizaru, flew out of the sea.

"Admiral Kizaru!"

Magellan quickly went to Kizaru's side, raised his hands, and pressed on the latter's chest a few times.

Kizaru coughed up a few spurts of seawater, then opened his eyes.

"Magellan... I'm so glad I opened my eyes and you were the first person I saw."

Magellan paused for a moment, then pointed to the few black dots on the horizon that were almost disappearing from view.

"Shall we go?"

"You'll die."

Kizaru lay sprawled out on the floor of the first level of Impel Down, completely lacking any semblance of decorum.

"Whitebeard II and Golden Lion II joined forces."

"Let's leave this problem to the bigwigs in the government to figure out!"
