This time Kizaru held nothing back! He didn't dare hold anything back!
Facing Kai's terrifying offensive, even going all out, Kizaru couldn't guarantee victory—how could he afford to hold back?
At this moment, Kizaru realized!
Mitarashi Kai!
Absolutely! Absolutely! Was an Admiral-level powerhouse!
The ultimate photon attack—laser! Though it was light, the temperature was high enough! The center definitely reached several thousand degrees, which was why it could penetrate any material!
Kajō!!
Just as the laser was about to hit Kai, explosive flames surged from his body!
Kai wasn't an idiot. When Kizaru entered Yata no Kagami, he activated his Observation Haki, bringing everything around him into his perception.
He naturally detected Kizaru the moment he appeared.
Terrifying explosive flames scattered in all directions!
They instantly reached Kizaru's position, directly threatening to devour him!
Kizaru's expression looked grim, but he had no choice—he could only enter Yata no Kagami again to avoid the raging flames' might.
Moving through the light trails formed by Yata no Kagami, Kizaru continuously fired lasers to attack Kai!
But under Kai's dual perception of Kagura Mind's Eye and Observation Haki, every one of Kizaru's attacks became futile—either dodged by Kai's evasion or devoured by explosive flames.
They couldn't cause Kai the slightest harm!
A flash of frustration crossed Kizaru's face, though it was more annoyance than anything.
As a Marine Headquarters Admiral, he couldn't even take down a Marine Rear Admiral—if word of this got out...
Kizaru's face darkened. He didn't dare think further. Even with his thick skin, this was getting hard to bear!
No choice but to...
A hint of helplessness flashed in Kizaru's eyes!
"Kai-kun, sorry about this. When we get back to Marine Headquarters, I'll introduce you to some cute female sergeants," Kizaru said shamelessly, leaving Kai with black lines across his forehead.
Kizaru ascended along a light trail into mid-air!
Arms spread wide, his yellow coat fluttering behind him, Kizaru suddenly roared:
"Yasakani no Magatama!!!"
Immediately after, countless golden light bullets shot down from Kizaru's body toward Kai!
Each light bullet was photon energy compressed to its limit, each one containing enough power to shatter an entire mountain!
In just the time of a breath, endless light bullets poured down from Kizaru! The entire sky was densely packed with them!
How fast was the speed of light?
In an instant, the entire human auction house was buried under Kizaru's Yasakani no Magatama!
Bang, bang, bang...
With just the slightest contact with any obstacle, the light bullets exploded, and thick smoke and dust rose up, blocking Kizaru's vision!
But at this moment, Kizaru's expression had already relaxed.
As the one who released it, Kizaru knew better than anyone the power of Yasakani no Magatama—this was his strongest technique!
Even his fellow Marine Admirals Aokiji and Akainu couldn't withstand it!
In the end, they could only barely escape by relying on their natural Logia Devil Fruit elementalization abilities!
In Kizaru's thinking, since Kai was a Flame-Flame Fruit user.
And could release flames of such terrifying temperature, elementalization should naturally be no problem for him.
Even if he couldn't block his Yasakani no Magatama, preserving his life should still be manageable, though he might be in a sorry state.
Kizaru was certain he had Kai figured out!
The smoke gradually dispersed, and Kizaru could faintly see a figure standing.
"Not bad, you actually weren't knocked down by my Yasakani no Magatama," Kizaru's face returned to that punchable expression.
"Is that so? Admiral Borsalino, sorry to disappoint you!"
Hearing Kai's voice, even Kizaru was stunned: How could it sound so vigorous? Could he really be unharmed? How was that possible!?
But in the next moment, Kizaru's pupils contracted sharply—because not only was Kai uninjured, he was directly attacking!
Enkai!!
Scorching flames released from Ryūjin Jakka's blade, like a giant hand, enveloped Kizaru!
A prison of flames tightly confined Kizaru within!
Kizaru's body transformed into a golden stream of light, rushing toward one direction!
But the moment he touched the flame wall, he bounced back. Even an elementalized Kizaru couldn't endure flames over six thousand degrees.
"Kai-kun, this is..."
Forced by the situation, Kizaru had to lower his head and beg for mercy, but before he could finish speaking, Kai's next attack launched!
Kai was full of anger right now!
You just launched Yasakani no Magatama without a word, and now that things look bad, you want to stop fighting? Where in the world does that work?
Ennetsu Jigoku!!
The flame walls surrounding Kizaru instantly converged together, then exploded directly!
A heaven-reaching pillar of fire appeared on Island No. 1 of the Sabaody Archipelago, shooting straight into the sky, even higher than the Yarukiman Mangrove's canopy!
Far away on Island No. 13, at Shakky's Rip-off Bar.
Such commotion naturally caught Shakky's attention. Looking up at the sky with some confusion, Shakky's expression suddenly froze, her face growing increasingly strange:
"Island No. 1!? Could this have something to do with that Marine boy?"
She wasn't worried about Rayleigh's safety at all. Even though he had aged.
But the "Dark King" was still the "Dark King"—not just anyone could defeat him. Even facing Whitebeard, called "the World's Strongest Man," Rayleigh wouldn't necessarily lose!
Island No. 66, Sabaody Marine Branch.
"What happened on Island No. 1!? Quick... quickly find the Rear Admiral!" Johnson's face was full of panic.
"It seems... the Rear Admiral is currently on Island No. 1!" Vigona said.
Vaguely, the two had a guess!
Looking at each other... both saw shock in the other's eyes!
