Pirate: I'm an admiral now, what's wrong with taking a little extra money?

"Wow~ That's an incredible speed~" Borsalino pushed up his sunglasses, his tone still lewd, but a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. "Only by becoming an elemental can I keep up with this pace... That Kane guy..."

“It’s not just speed.” Sakazuki stared intently at the battlefield, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. “It’s that reckless, insane energy! He’s enjoying the fight!”

The center of the battlefield.

The Red Earl grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.

He was astonished to find that Kane could always anticipate his movements by half a step, either by using the Moon Slash to block or by dodging at the last second.

"This Observation Haki...can it predict the future?" The Red Earl's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

The moment the thought arose, he no longer hesitated and activated another ability he was truly proud of—mind reading!

As soon as the opponent has the idea of ​​attacking, he can see through all their motives and trajectories in advance, making all predictions impossible to hide!

however……

When he tried to read Kane's mind, he didn't hear "left slash," "right stab," or "defend," but a bunch of noises that almost made his brain crash!

'If this is a serious violation, wouldn't it be considered excessive enforcement? It could easily rack up 200 disciplinary points!'

'What's that guy's umbrella made of? If we stole it and sold it to Vegapunk, how much funding could we get?'

'No, I need to vandalize some more public property! Make the commotion even bigger! Ideally, I'd like to completely alter the seabed topography!'

What the hell is all this nonsense?!

Just as the Red Earl was momentarily stunned by these absurd thoughts, Kane's blade was already upon him!

"You dare to lose focus while fighting me?!"

Kane laughed wildly, and Tensa Zangetsu showed no mercy. The jet-black Haki on the blade surged wildly as he slashed down furiously at the Red Earl's head!

Red Earl hastily raised his umbrella to block.

boom--!!!

The immense force slammed him directly into the sea, shattering the ice and creating towering waves hundreds of meters high, along with a shower of ice shards.

[Ding! Host has been detected maliciously damaging the marine ecosystem during combat; the act of blasting fish is egregious!]

[Disciplinary Value +500!]

"That's right!" Kane felt his blood boiling and his fighting spirit soaring to its peak as he listened to the sweet notification in his mind.

"Again!!"

The ice surface suddenly exploded, transforming into countless sharp arrows that shot in all directions.

The Red Earl soared into the sky, stepping on shattered ice; his pale face was now covered in frost.

Elegance? Composure?

They were utterly destroyed in the face of this madman's navy!

"You bastard..."

This time, the Red Earl's aura completely changed. A Conqueror's Haki far more terrifying and profound than before surged into the sky, and black and red lightning tore the sky apart.

"That's enough, kid!"

His speed was even three points faster than before! The tip of the umbrella drew a strange arc in the air that was impossible to detect with the naked eye or Observation Haki, instantly breaking through the limits of Kane's "foresight" perception!

Pfft!

Blood splattered!

Kane's pupils dilated violently. He hadn't even fully seen the attack before the tip of the red umbrella pierced his chest!

"Humph!"

Kane groaned, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

However, instead of retreating, a triumphant glint flashed in his eyes.

"caught you!"

His chest muscles, which were like steel, suddenly contracted and hardened, and then infused with a high density of Armament Haki, tightly clamping the tip of the umbrella that had penetrated deep into his body!

"what?!"

A flicker of surprise flashed in Count Red's eyes once again.

"You were careless!"

Kane clenched his empty left hand into a fist instantly, and Armament Haki covered it up in an instant. The pitch-black Haki was as thick as ink, wrapped with the powerful Ryuo power, and slammed solidly into the Red Earl's astonished face!

Boom! ...

Time seemed to slow down at that moment.

The Red Earl's high, straight nose collapsed in an instant with a visible arc, his handsome facial muscles twisted in a wave-like manner under the terrifying force, and teeth mixed with blood and foam spurted from his mouth.

Immediately following was a deafening explosion!

The Red Earl transformed into a streak of crimson light, flying backward at speeds several times faster than sound!

boom! boom! boom!

His body crashed through more than a dozen exposed reefs on the sea surface before finally slamming into the mountainside of a medium-sized island five kilometers away.

boom!

The entire mountain let out a painful cry before collapsing with a deafening roar, billowing dust obscuring the moonlight.

"Life returned."

With a thought, Kane's muscles at the wound began to twitch, stopping the bleeding and forming a scab. In a short while, the wound had mostly healed, leaving only a hideous scar.

With the dual boost of 90 points in monstrous physique and life restoration, his recovery ability has long surpassed the norm.

In the distance, the Red Earl slowly emerged from the pile of rubble.

His face grew even paler, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth. He moved his jaw, the bones cracking, clearly indicating that he was also in pain from Kane's reckless punch.

"cough……"

Count Red spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, looking at the proud figure standing in the distance with a knife in his hand.

"A decent physique, a decent calculation... It's been a long time since anyone could hurt me!"

The Red Earl's eyes no longer held any contempt, but were replaced by an intense fighting spirit of meeting a worthy opponent.

"Kid, state your name."

Kane flicked the blood off his sword, the blade pointing at the Red Earl, his voice booming and echoing throughout the entire sea:

"Remember this, I'm Kane, the commander of G-5!"

"In addition, the bill has been updated."

Kane held up four fingers, looking serious.

"Medical expenses, toll fees, compensation for emotional distress, plus the workers' compensation for the umbrella you just poked me with."

"A total of four billion Berries!"

"Even if we sink the G-5 today, you won't leave here without paying a single penny less!"

"Again!"

Before he finished speaking, Kane flashed and transformed into a black lightning bolt, rushing towards the Red Earl once again.

With a swing of his sword, Zangetsu unleashed a dense, impenetrable barrage of black blade light, each strike carrying the power to cleave mountains.

The Red Earl's umbrella danced like the wind, sometimes blocking, sometimes counterattacking, as he engaged in a frenzied battle with Kane.

The battlefield between the two was completely out of control.

They fought from the sea to mid-air, and from mid-air to distant desert islands.

boom!!

An uninhabited island was torn apart by the aftershocks of the two people's clash of Conqueror's Haki. After a violent shaking, half of the island sank into the sea, creating a huge wave!

Click!

Kane cleaved the mountaintop of another island flat with a single stroke. The Red Earl retaliated with the tip of his umbrella, slicing a deep, bone-revealing gash across his shoulder.

"Crescent Moon Sky Slash!"

Kane fought with increasing ferocity, his fighting spirit and domineering aura reaching their peak. He wielded his sword with both hands, unleashing a massive black crescent-shaped slash over a hundred meters long, carrying an extremely compressed domineering aura, roaring straight towards the Red Earl!

"Humph!"

Count Red snorted coldly, neither retreating nor dodging. He suddenly spun the umbrella in his hand, and a more concentrated crimson crescent moon slash fiercely met the attack!

Rumble—!!!

Two terrifying slashes collided in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar! The devastating shockwave completely leveled the third deserted island, turning it into ruins!

Kane's domineering aura was constantly sublimated in these collisions that pushed him to the limit, and the power of the Storm-Storm Fruit was unconsciously incorporated into his every move.

The black light of Zhan Yue's blade almost obscured half the sky.

"This madman...this monster...is his physical strength limitless?!"

The umbrella in the Red Earl's hand trembled slightly from Kane's slash. His breathing also began to become somewhat rapid.

Chapter 74 The so-called one-on-one fight is just the four of us against you!

Dawn breaks, then dusk falls.

A full day and night of fighting.

The sea area where the G-5 branch is located has been completely reshaped.

The frozen sea was pierced, only to be refrozen by Kuzan watching from afar, repeating this process more than ten times. The distant, desolate islands had long since sunk to the bottom of the sea, turning into new reefs.

The entire sea area was permanently altered by the clash between the two monsters.

when--!

The Moon Slasher and the Red Umbrella collided once more, and sparks exploded like fireworks.

The Red Earl's breathing was no longer steady. His signature burgundy suit was soaked through with sweat, blood, and seawater, clinging to his body in tatters. The muscles in his arm, gripping the red umbrella, trembled slightly uncontrollably.
