Taking advantage of this moment, the bear stopped and displayed an agility that belied its size, disappearing into the shadows of the passage in a few flashes.

In the center of the battlefield, only Kane remained, facing alone the remaining elite forces of the entire Punk Hazard base, including Admiral Aokiji Kuzan.

"bring it on!"

Kane stood still, raised an eyebrow provocatively, and extended four fingers, beckoning to Kuzan and the Seraphim who were waiting in full battle array opposite him.

This action undoubtedly angered some of the Seraphim.

The halos of flames behind their heads suddenly blazed up intensely.

Surprisingly, when faced with Kane's provocation, Empress S- did not show any anger on her cute and delicate face. Instead, two shy blushes appeared on her face. She unconsciously cupped her cheeks with her hands, her gaze darting away but unable to resist secretly glancing at Kane.

The Laboratory of the Holy Mother's Flames.

This place has long since been transformed into a raging realm of light and electricity.

Kizaru and Enel's figures flashed, collided, and separated in the spacious but already chaotic space as if they were teleporting, leaving behind a sky full of afterimages.

Both are Devil Fruit users known for their speed, and now they are going all out, making the battle scene resemble a Dragon Ball movie, with flashes of light appearing all the time.

It's so fast it's dazzling.

After another fierce clash between the Kusanagi Sword and the Raiden Staff, the two separated, facing each other across the mess on the ground.

"Within the mouth~"

Kizaru shook his slightly numb wrist and drawled, "Are all the newcomers these days monsters? I remember you've only been in the industry for less than two years."

He really did meet a rare opponent.

His previous enemies were either too strong to defeat or too fast to outrun, but Enel was the only one who could truly be described as an evenly matched opponent.

Enel even mastered Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, a technique he didn't know.

If it weren't for his greater combat experience and superior Armament Haki, the outcome of the battle would have been very uncertain.

"Hmph, I, the god, should be saying that."

Enel snorted coldly, his body crackling with electricity: "A mere Marine Admiral possesses such strength."

He originally thought that after a year of hard training, having mastered the top-tier technique of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, even if he couldn't beat Kane, he should have no rivals on the high seas.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly lazy and sleazy old man in front of him was not an opponent he could defeat quickly.

"A mere general? Quite the boastful one~ No wonder you're the infamous Lightning Disaster~"

Kizaru chuckled, deliberately pronouncing the last two words with extra clarity.

"That wretched monkey!"

Enel's forehead veins bulged, and lightning surged once more.

Just as he was preparing to engage in another round of "physical exchange" with Kizaru using even more violent lightning, a tall and composed figure barged in.

It was the big bear that had arrived.

The moment he saw him, Kizaru's heart sank.

Things seem to be going badly for Punk Records.

The next second, Big Bear's words confirmed his prediction.

"The Punk Records have been safely transferred. We can now evacuate."

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, Vegapunk's main body and the remaining clones present immediately showed a relieved and joyful expression.

Unexpectedly, the crucial step in this thrilling breakout was completed so quickly.

"Go? Where do you want to go? Have you asked my opinion?"

Kizaru's voice suddenly turned cold, his usual languor replaced by a substantial sense of oppression.

"Hmph! Your opponent is this god!"

Enel reacted with lightning speed, and in a flash of lightning, he stood between Kizaru and Kuma, his long staff pointing straight ahead, his fighting spirit reignited.

Big Bear seemed oblivious to the confrontation between the two.

He opened his arms wide, his broad palms facing each other, and the unique fleshy ball began to vibrate at a high speed at a peculiar frequency.

With the vibration, the visible air was frantically pulled and compressed, gathering in his arms between his palms.

A cloud of air shaped like a bear's paw quietly took shape.

The bear slowly pressed its palms together inward, compressing the energy ball to its limit. It trembled slightly, emitting a heart-palpitating wave.

"Bear Paw Impact!"

Both palms thrust forward and upward with a sudden force!

Boom! ...

The air cannon blasted straight into the thick alloy ceiling of the laboratory!

There were no flying fragments, only a dull, deafening roar. The center of the ceiling was as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, instantly twisting and deforming before being brutally torn apart and blown away, revealing the azure sky above and the shattered building structure, forming a huge gap large enough to pass through.

Without the slightest delay, Kuma flashed to Vegapunk's main body and said in a deep voice, "Let's get ready to go."

Before he finished speaking, his hand had already lightly patted Vegapunk's body.

Boo!

The translucent bubble instantly enveloped Vegapunk, transforming into a stream of light that was about to shoot out of the newly opened hole and disappear into the blue sky in the blink of an eye.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Kizaru's fierce shout and a laser beam arrived almost simultaneously.

Just as the laser was about to hit the bubble, a bolt of lightning shot out at the critical moment, precisely intercepting it and shattering the laser in mid-air!

Enel's figure appeared amidst the lightning, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Your opponent hasn't changed yet!"

In that split second of delay, the bubble carrying Vegapunk's true form had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

The bear continued its attack, striking Vegapunk's clones.

"Honestly, can't you understand the helplessness of office workers? We also have KPIs that we have to meet!"

Kizaru sighed as he watched yet another bubble about to float away.

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

Kizaru's body suddenly transformed into countless dazzling golden particles of light, like exploding fireworks or fireflies filling the sky, instantly spreading and filling the entire laboratory.

In an instant, Kizaru's figure materialized in every corner of the laboratory.

The numerous Kizaru completely surrounded Enel, Kuma, and the remaining Vegapunk clones!

"what?"

Enel's eyes widened, and he unleashed his full Observation Haki, only to be shocked to discover that the auras of these clones were almost identical.

In a short period of time, it is impossible to distinguish which is the real entity and which is the clone.

"I don't have time to play with you guys anymore."

All the "Kizaru" spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping and echoing in the laboratory with an eerie resonance.

The next second, they simultaneously raised their arms, their fingers pointing at the few remaining Vegapunk clones.

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

Hundreds and thousands of fine yet deadly golden light bullets, like a golden rainstorm, poured down on the target from all directions, from every angle, leaving no blind spots!

"not good!"

Enel was startled and unleashed unprecedented lightning around himself in an attempt to intercept.

Big Bear immediately waved his paw, knocking away a large number of light bullets that were close by, triggering a series of explosions.

However, this saturation attack was not primarily aimed at them.

"Sizzle" "Sizzle"...

Pythagoras, Edison, and other Vegapunk clones, although their bodies were also modified, were ultimately not known for their defensive capabilities.

It lasted for less than two seconds in the face of the storm of light bullets.

Amidst the continuous explosions and flashes of light, they emerged one after another from thick smoke, their eyes quickly dimmed, and finally collapsed heavily to the ground, motionless.

The golden rain of light gradually subsided, and the countless Kizaru clones vanished like phantoms, regrouping into a single figure standing in the center.

He glanced at the smoldering, dysfunctional remains of his clone on the ground, then looked up at Enel, whose face was ashen, and the silent Kuma, slowly adjusting his glasses:

"It seems that I have barely managed to complete part of the task targets."

Chapter 200 Kidnapping the Little Empress

Meanwhile, in the Punk Records storage hall.

Kane, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Kuzan, suddenly hesitated for a moment.

Did it succeed...?

It was faster than expected.

"You dare to be distracted while fighting me?!"

Kuzan, having caught this fleeting opening, suddenly became serious.

He clenched his right fist, and the extreme freezing air instantly enveloped his fist completely.

"Ice Gloves!"

Kuzan charged forward like an arrow released from a bow, his right fist, wreathed in freezing air and domineering aura, slamming into Kane's wide-open chest!

boom--!

A dull thud rang out, and Kane took the full force of the punch, his body sliding backward under the impact.

At the same time, a burst of bone-chilling cold air erupted, attempting to engulf and freeze him.

A thick, hard layer of ice spread and thickened at a visible speed, freezing Kane inside in the blink of an eye, turning him into a lifelike ice sculpture, maintaining the posture he had just been knocked back.
