From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 88 Conqueror's Haki

"Whoosh."

Just as Rodnaz and the CPs were filled with doubt and surprise, Kevin disappeared on the spot with the mermaid.

How could that be?

Just like that, he left?

The middle-aged man was stunned. How could they just leave like this? Everything was ready, how could they?!

A mixture of annoyance and relief rose in my mind; if I left, it wouldn't be my responsibility anymore.

However, before he could even catch his breath, it got stuck in his airway and wouldn't come down.

That bastard has shown up again.

……

Having just led all the slaves away from the auction, Kevin's gaze fell upon Saint Rodnaz.

If he were to rely solely on Seastone to limit himself, then he would gladly accept this huge bait.

"ah!!"

A scream loud enough to pierce eardrums rang out, and Rodnaz Saint, who had just been kicking CP, once again faced the fear of the Celestial Dragons.

The gruesome sight of Summit's corpse flashed by.

Saint Rodnaz knew very well that the demon in front of him would never care about his Celestial Dragon identity and would kill him cruelly without hesitation.

"The Navy! Where's the Navy?"

"Why isn't their incompetent general here yet?!

"Protect me! Protect me! Otherwise you will all die!"

At this moment, Kevin had also arrived in front of Rodnaz.

The CP members in front of them stood ready, their trembling hands gripping their guns tightly, but for a moment they dared not pull the trigger.

"Once you get used to being a dog, you can't go back to being a human."

The agents roared in anger as soon as they finished speaking.

"attack!!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Lead bullets came at us like a dense rain.

The long sword slashed horizontally, black Armament Haki protecting the body as it cut in at an angle.

A flash of light disappeared in an instant, blood splattered, and all of them collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Kevin stepped forward. An agent clutched his throat, desperately trying to get air into it, as if he wanted to say something.

"leave."

Kevin frowned, somewhat puzzled.

These guys have always been loyal lackeys of the Celestial Dragons. Is this a reminder to myself?

"Bang!"

The head fell to the ground, and the man who had just spoken had unfocused pupils; he was already dead.

But this scene made the hidden middle-aged man tense up instantly. It had come to this point. If the cloaked man sensed something was wrong and left, then he would die if the problem lay with CP!

Damn it, an orphan climbed so hard to get to where he is today, and yet he reminds the enemy at the very end.

Fortunately, it seems the other party didn't hear clearly.

Finally, Kevin faced Rodnaz Saint directly.

"It's been eighteen years, you probably don't even remember me. You and Summit, back then, almost made me want to start over."

Rodnaz Saint looked at the corpses scattered on the ground and trembled all over, as if he were facing a giant sea king.

"Don't kill me, please don't kill me."

"Please! I don't remember, I'm trash, I'm trash!"

"That bastard Summit, he's even worse! Please!"

The trembling Rodnaz Saint kept retreating, but there was a wall behind him, so he could only shrink into a corner.

However, this scene contrasts sharply with what had just happened on the street, which is quite ironic.

Kevin raised his longsword, pressing it against the man's neck: "Before this, you must have heard many pleas, right? So, back then, did you let them go?"

Rodnaz Saint dared not move, fearing that the slightest movement would result in his throat being slit.

He didn't want to die; Samit's tragic state made death too painful.

"Can't answer? That's because you've never considered ordinary people as your own. In that case, why should I let you go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin brought his longsword down with a sudden thud.

"Whoosh..."

"Bang!"

A golden light flashed, and the longsword in Kevin's hand was shattered.

Kevin paid no attention to the standard longsword without any Armament Haki, and instead looked at Borsalino, who had appeared at the door.

"It's been a long time. You've been a bit late this time. I heard you've been stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago. You shouldn't have arrived so late."

Borsalino reached out, and a golden flash shot out, shattering all the specially made kunai that Kevin had placed around him.

However, at this moment, the black spatial coordinates climbed up and attached themselves to Rodnaz's back.

"You're really audacious. This is the third time already. If you succeed again, our navy will lose all face."

Borsalino's eyes remained languid, but in fact, his Observation Haki had been at its maximum from the very beginning.

The bait is, after all, a true Celestial Dragon. If he dies, the group in Mary Geoise will cause trouble again, and the Navy might have to find a scapegoat.

Kevin glanced at the trembling Celestial Dragon behind him and chuckled, "If those ejected Seastone handcuffs were your trump card, then I think it was pointless for you to come or not. Coming would only mean taking responsibility afterwards. What do you think?"

Borsalino, who was not far away, sighed, but the light gathering at his fingertips did not go out, ready to attack at any moment.

"navy!"

"Help me, Navy!"

"Quickly, kill him!"

Rodnaz let out a couple of shouts, but when Kevin looked over, he immediately shrank back and returned to his corner.

"He can't save you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin vanished from his spot, only to reappear as a flash of light streaked past.

"boom!"

The roof of the auction house was blown open, and in the instant the debris fell, Kevin reappeared beside Rodnaz.

The specially made kunai was thrown out, but was precisely pulverized.

However, Kevin, who reappeared, threw a punch directly, and Borsalino's laser was a step too slow.

"Click."

It was a soft sound, but it sounded so pleasant in Borsalino's mind.

It's over... Cloaked Man.

Whether it's teleportation, appearance transformation, or freezing abilities similar to Kuzan, it doesn't matter whether this combination of three makes one a Paramecia or Mythical Zoan.

Even if a Devil Fruit user has adapted to the P substance in Seastone, they still cannot use their abilities; this is the most basic point.

Without that instantaneous mobility, it's nothing special.

World Government CP0, Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, codename Chameleon.

This is the real reliance.

Even though he knew of the other party's existence beforehand, he still subconsciously ignored CP0 when entering the venue.

Furthermore, starting from the killing of the second Celestial Dragon, whether it was a fake decoy or a real one, the lining of their clothes always contained Seastone.

This is also why the longsword and kunai were destroyed first. To kill a Celestial Dragon, you have to touch them. At the moment of contact, the teleportation ability cannot be used, and this moment is CP0's opportunity.

……

"puff!"

Amidst the sound of blood splattering, a voice emerged from the dust.

"Help...help me...you idiot."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Celestial Dragon's aura within his Observation Haki gradually diminished and finally dissipated.

A hand was pulled from Rodnaz's chest, and Kevin shook it off with disgust, glancing at the sea stone handcuffs on his left hand.

Behind him, a middle-aged man's long sword was stuck in the ground. The previous slash had even split the arena in two, but it still missed Kevin and did not even stop him.

"How...is this possible?"

The chameleon turned around: "You're not a Devil Fruit user? No, with the Teleportation Fruit, the ability to change appearance, and the use of freezing ninjutsu, how could you not be a Devil Fruit user?"

Not far away, Borsalino, who was responsible for ensuring Kevin's weapons were damaged, also had a furrowed brow.

The premise for this setup to capture the cloaked person is that the other party is a power user, as Seastone can completely seal their abilities.

But the other party isn't a power user, how is that possible!?

With three abilities—teleportation, appearance alteration, and freezing—at least one of them must be a Devil Fruit ability!

"So this is still the final killing move?"

Kevin shook the sea stone handcuffs on his hands, giving them a nonchalant shake, showing no sign of weakness whatsoever.

"Whoosh!"

A golden flash streaked across the sky, and the laser detonated the dome of the venue once again, but it did not harm Kevin in the slightest.

Beside the Celestial Dragon's corpse, Kevin, who had been moved there, looked over with interest: "You want to try again, right?"

"boom!"

A cold glint flashed by, and the CP0 chameleon, wielding a long sword, looked grim.

The mission failed; it failed from the very beginning.

The opponent is not a Devil Fruit user, so Seastone has no effect on them!

Through the broken dome, Kevin checked the time; the Revolutionary Army probably wouldn't be here so soon.

We need to stall for time a little longer. As long as I'm here, the World Government won't be focusing on those five outposts for the time being.

Compared to the fledgling Revolutionary Army, I, with my teleportation ability, naturally pose a greater threat to Mary Geoise.

The cloaked figures with established bases and organizations are different from the cloaked figures who are unrestrained and cannot be controlled even by Seastone, and who specifically target the Celestial Dragons.

"You bastard...wouldn't it be better to just obediently accept your death? A stinking rat like you from the gutter, your fate was sealed the moment your nest was discovered, Revolutionary Army!"

Enraged, the chameleon gripped its longsword, and as it uttered the last three words, the sharp blade struck down.

"boom!!"

They attempted to provoke him into launching a sneak attack, but failed.

"By opposing the World Government, you've been on a path to destruction from the very beginning. From today onward, CP and the Navy will be your targets. How long can someone like you hide?"

With the power of a great swordsman, each strike further destroyed the venue.

But even when the auction venue was reduced to ruins, he still didn't touch Kevin at all.

Borsalino, who had been observing from the side, showed a slight change in expression.

Since entering the arena, he has been able to confirm that whenever the opponent's special weapon appears, he will destroy it.

Including the long sword at the beginning.

However, the opponent is still using his teleportation ability, and each time he appears consecutively, he does not leave the area of ​​the venue.

It's a corpse!

"Buzz..."

A golden flash exploded, and Borsalino destroyed everything, including the corpses that had been killed at the very beginning of the battle.

Only the Celestial Dragon, Rodnazar, remained.

The mission had essentially failed; now it was merely a matter of verifying the limitations of the opponent's abilities. He dared not touch the Celestial Dragon's corpse.

Borsalino's actions made the chameleon realize what was happening, and its gaze returned to Kevin.

"Your abilities have been seen through."

Kevin swung the handcuffs at his wrists again: "You've seen through me? That's really a headache. But can you catch me?"

"boom!"

As the slash swept past, Kevin appeared behind Borsalino in an instant, only to be greeted by a long, golden leg.

"Bang!"

"boom!"

With his arms crossed and covered in Armament Haki, Kevin stomped two grooves in the ground when he was first hit, barely managing to stop the force.

However, the next moment, a golden blade followed closely behind.

Kevin flashed behind CP0, only to be met by a longsword.

But this time he learned his lesson and vanished instantly, reappearing beside the Celestial Dragon's corpse.

The ground shook, and the two generals' forces missed their targets several times, turning the auction venue into ruins.

"They really don't hold back, do they? Two Celestial Dragons' dogs."

Kevin stared intently at the two of them with an air of dominance, yet deep down he seemed to yearn for a clash.

He had faced admiral-level opponents several times, and Borsalino was already an old rival.

Previously, he relied more on the Flying Thunder God Technique to avoid attacks and rarely had direct confrontations, but that doesn't seem to work today.

We need to buy more time. If we don't back down or fight back, these bastards will definitely realize it soon.

The image of the little girl's bloodshot pupils on the street flashed through my mind once again.

When he was one year old, scenes of his parents' wailing, his uncle's pleading, and the backs of all the people of God Valley falling down flashed through Kevin's mind.

Borsalino is a future admiral, but there will be three such admirals in the future navy, above him are Sengoku and Garp, a series of vice admirals.

The World Government only knows of one person: the Army Commander on the Red Line, the dark horse of the Criminal Investigation Department, and the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Kong.

Five immortal old men between powers, the Knights of God, and Im, who delivered the final blow to destroy the Kingdom of Lulucia.

Not enough...

How could such power be enough to overturn the world?

The treasure chest yielded the strongest fire-type Zanpakuto, yet he couldn't use it. This was a warning, a warning to relax his mental will.

Perhaps I was wrong from the beginning. The attribute card of mental will can enhance Haki and awaken Armament Haki and Observation Haki, but Conqueror's Haki requires one's own firmness.

Zanpakuto are weapons of Shinigami, and Shinigami are spiritual beings whose spiritual pressure is not replaced by physical strength. There are similar things in this world.

Conqueror's Haki!

"boom!"

A black lightning bolt exploded in the center of the venue, and a surge of emotion rose from the depths of their hearts, causing CP0 and Borsalino to narrow their eyes slightly.

"That's truly terrifying. The aura of a king, the Conqueror's Haki that only one in a million possesses—it's incredibly powerful."

"With such domineering presence, you must hold a high position in the Revolutionary Army, perhaps even being its leader. Someone like you must die here."

Kevin looked at the two of them: "Let's give it a try. Maybe someone will survive here today!"
