"Oh, my bad, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Borsalino, and I'm a Marine. Currently, I'm a Marine Admiral~" Borsalino's face showed an apologetic expression~"
"..."
[Upon hearing Borsalino's self-introduction, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths~]
[How can it be so coincidental???]
[You're already by the pier, can't you just wait a little longer to appear!!]
[If you came just a little bit later, we wouldn't have to face him directly~]
Luffy laughed bitterly, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Forget it... You didn't pretend not to see us...?!"
["Well... that's certainly not a bad suggestion~"]
[Hearing Luffy's words, Borsalino actually thought about it seriously~]
[But he thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, if I let you go, I wouldn't be able to explain it to the Celestial Dragons~"]
["So, I'd still rather you die~"]
[Saying that, Borsalino pointed forward with his finger!!]
[A golden beam of light instantly charged towards them~]
["Let me handle this!!"]
[Franky immediately shouted, spread his palm, and also unleashed a beam of light~]
[Whoosh! Whoosh!]
[The two beams of light intersected. Franky's beam of light landed on Borsalino, dealing 0 damage.]
[...And the beam of light from Kizaru passed by Franky, piercing through Kaku's shoulder~]
"I say... you were so proactive in attacking, I thought you were going to stop his light beam..."
[Kaku's shoulder was gushing blood, and his whole body was twitching~]
[Because just now, Zoro proactively attacked and blocked the light beam fired by the pacifists, so Franky was supposed to defend against this one~]
[The result... in an instant, he was pierced by the light beam...]
["Oh?"]
[Franky grunted, a look of embarrassment on his face: "Sorry! Actually, I was thinking that, but I didn't expect the two light beams to not easily align..."]
[Nani??]
[The Straw Hat Pirates collectively wore an expression of bewilderment~]
[So... you're actually both weak and love to play around??]
["Hmph... is this the old man's light beam? How did you produce it??"]
[Seeing Franky unleash a light beam, Borsalino also felt surprised~]
[However, as his words fell, Luffy's large hand instantly stretched out!]
[The palm spread open, wrapped in Armament Haki, and directly grabbed Borsalino's head!!!]
Gecko Moria: "Heheheh! It's here!! This classic scene!"
Sir Crocodile: "Even an Admiral is just one hit?"
Donquixote Doflamingo: "Fufufufu...! Are you saying even an Admiral will be instantly defeated?"
Capone Bege: "If that's the case, then it's not that we over there are too weak, but that Red-Haired Luffy is too strong!!"
[Seeing Luffy once again use his classic move, the onlookers all widened their eyes, staring intently at this scene~]
[As Luffy's arm instantly retracted, his knee also thrust forward!]
[Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki were all wrapped around his knee, and with a swift move, it struck Borsalino's face~]
[Nani!?]
[Borsalino hadn't even reacted yet, when his head was suddenly grabbed by someone...]
[It was also at the same instant that he vaguely sensed a familiar threat instantly approaching him!!]
["Scatter, Fireworks! ——"]
[Just as he was about to be knee-capped by Luffy, his face blooming like peach blossoms, Borsalino reflexively used his Glint-Glint Fruit ability~]
[His entire body instantly entered an elemental state, and then, like a water balloon that was filled to the brim, it was suddenly pierced by a needle~]
[Pop!]
[Borsalino's body instantly exploded into countless light particles, scattering in all directions~]
[Although Armament Haki can capture elementalized bodies, this does not mean that Armament Haki is invincible when facing Logia users...]
[To put it plainly, when you use Armament Haki and manage to hit a Logia user, then you can inflict substantial damage!]
[But... Armament Haki is not Seastone. It cannot prevent a Logia user from using their ability!]
[Just like at this moment, Borsalino, Luffy had bound him with Armament Haki, which allowed Luffy to hit him!!]
[And Borsalino, who actively dispersed into countless light particles, could not be stopped by Luffy!!]
[The target that was originally controlled in his hand instantly vanished. Luffy's knee strike naturally struck Borsalino!]
[But... Luffy did not retract his attack. Instead, he simply continued the momentum forward, fully unleashing his signature knee strike~]
[Thud!——]
[From where the light had converged, a muffled impact sound instantly came!]
[Borsalino's body was directly sent flying from the pile of light that had begun to gather...]
["Ughhh..."]
[Borsalino spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!!]
[He looked at Luffy in shock: "Nani?! You clearly didn't touch me!"]
[Luffy nodded: "Yeah! This move of mine can still produce the effect of hitting even if I don't touch you..."]
["Hitting from a distance..."]
Hearing this, Borsalino's brow furrowed. He looked at Luffy in confusion. "Damn it... This wouldn't be Conqueror's Haki, would it...?"
"Yes! But you're truly strong. To be hit by my Conqueror's Haki and still be able to stand! You're worthy of being the Marine's highest combat power~"
[The enemies he had encountered before, no matter who they were, if hit by this move, were all instantly defeated!]
[And the Marine Admiral before him, after taking a Conqueror's Haki-infused knee strike, was still able to communicate normally. This was something Luffy hadn't expected~]
["Well... you say that you are a powerful Admiral, yet you don't even bother to hide your pride!!"]
[Borsalino, this brazen man, could not help but be enraged by Luffy's words~]
[Instantly, Borsalino raised his hand again, and another beam of light instantly condensed~]
["Don't even think about it!!"]
[Zoro instantly drew his black blade Shusui. His figure instantly closed in on Borsalino!]
[He sliced towards Borsalino with a single sword~]
[Clang!!——]
[A golden light sword instantly appeared in Borsalino's hand, clashing with Zoro's sword~]
[The immense power instantly made Kizaru feel shocked beyond belief!!]
[Although he liked to use Ama no Murakumo, he was not a regular swordsman!]
[Facing the sudden attack from Zoro, he originally thought it was just a small fry, but this opponent's attack power, precision, and speed were all at a terrifyingly high level!!]
[After Zoro joined the fray, the other two swords also joined the battle. Two new blades, like flashing sword light and shadows, instantly forced Borsalino to go all out!!]
[And at this moment, Luffy shouted loudly:]
["Everyone, let's go!!"]
[Saying that, he was the first to rush forward~]
["Gomu Gomu: Double-Headed Snake King Gun!!——"]
[Luffy's hands instantly stretched, covered with dense black Armament Haki!]
[His two fists were like two ferocious snake heads, striking towards Kizaru from a sharp angle~]
["Moonwalk!!——"]
[Sanji stepped off the ground, jumping onto Kizaru's head~]
["Black Leg: Meat Head!——"]
[The Armament Haki covering his leg had almost infinitely approached the advanced Armament Haki!!!]
[A fierce kick suddenly descended towards Borsalino's head~]
["Sniper Star!!——"]
[Usopp pulled his slingshot to full draw. An ordinary round pebble was covered with Armament Haki, aimed at Borsalino~]
[Franky continuously shot Borsalino with his laser beams!]
[Although it seemed to have no effect, the laser beams seemed to have some kind of effect...]
[Buggy took a look, seemed like there was no room for him, so he didn't make a move~]
["Six-Flower Bloom: Dislocating Joint!"]
[Robin crossed her hands, activating her Flower-Flower Fruit ability~]
[Six hands covered in Armament Haki instantly appeared on Borsalino's body, pulling his hands and legs backward!!]
[Nani!?]
[Borsalino was startled by such a surprise attack. He quickly struggled to break free with immense power~]
[However, how could the Straw Hat Pirates let go of such a good opportunity?!]
[Sanji's foot suddenly descended!!]
[Borsalino dodged in time, barely avoiding his head, but Sanji's foot still landed on his shoulder!]
[Charge!!]
[Borsalino's right shoulder suddenly sank!]
[At the same time, Luffy's fist also landed on his stomach!!!]
[Charge!!——]
[The immense power instantly made Borsalino feel his internal organs churning~]
[Under this immense power, his entire body was instantly shot backward, leaving behind a trail of smoke~]
["Hey! Stupid Luffy, you hit him too far!! Otherwise, I would have sliced him with one sword!!"]
[Whoosh!!——]
[Usopp's Sniper Star shot out, but he didn't know where it hit Borsalino. He only heard a "hmph" from him; it seemed very painful!!]
["Gomu Gomu: King Kong Gun!!——"]
[Luffy stepped on air, using both Moonwalk and Soru, instantly rushing towards Borsalino, his fists covered in a horrifying Conqueror's Haki!——]
[It's covered with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki~]
[Borsalino was suffering greatly at this moment. Not only was his arm throbbing with pain, but his stomach was also incredibly cramping~]
[And Usopp's Sniper Star hit his butt, causing blood to flow~]
[At this moment, seeing Luffy rushing over with his fist covered in Conqueror's Haki, Borsalino was horrified~]
["Damn it!! Before coming here, I also thought I was a top-tier powerhouse...]
no one told me these guys were so strong...!!"
[Borsalino secretly greeted Sengoku's ancestors in his heart~]
Sengoku: "Even Borsalino can't take down Red-Haired Luffy and his crew?"
Kuzan: "Not only did he not take them down, but his butt also got busted open~"
Sakazuki: "Simply an eyesore!"
Garp: "Don't mock Kizaru over there. If you two were to face the Red-Haired Pirates alone, you might not even make it back!!"
Sakazuki: "Hmph! Impossible! I'd directly destroy them!!!"
Borsalino: "Well... who doesn't talk big?? In comparison, even if I lose, at least I can retreat safely! Let me tell you two, it might really be as Vice Admiral Tsuru said, you might be directly intercepted~"
[Before coming, the intelligence Borsalino received from Sengoku clearly stated that they were just an ordinary small pirate crew, with the captain's highest bounty being no more than 200 million Berries~]
[The two combatants each had bounties of 50 million Berries!!!]
[The others were even less noteworthy~]
[But now...]
[Borsalino could confirm that both the opponent's swordsman and captain possessed the strength to fight him one-on-one!!]
[...]
[As for the others, none of them are weak!!!]
[The key is that there are still a few people who haven't made a move...]
[It seems that to deal with him, a Marine Admiral, the Straw Hat Pirates don't even need to use their full strength~]
["Yata no Kagami!!——"]
[Seeing Luffy closing in, Borsalino put his right hand up, left hand down, palms facing each other!]
[A thick golden light shot out from his hands, instantly reflecting several times between the buildings!!!]
[Hmm??]
[Luffy charged forward, but he didn't dodge~]
[He anticipated that Borsalino would dodge this attack!!]
[Since that's the case, why waste effort??]
[Luffy turned his head and saw that Borsalino had already appeared in mid-air!!!]
[In terms of direct combat power, Borsalino might not be the strongest among the Three Admirals...]
[...But in terms of escape ability, he ranks second, and absolutely no one can rank first!!!]
[This is not an exaggeration...]
[As long as Borsalino wants to escape the battlefield, unless a net of heaven and earth has been set up in advance, no one can keep Borsalino...!!!]
[And at this moment, Usopp's Sniper Star shot towards Kizaru~]
["You want more?"]
[Seeing Sniper Star's bullet approaching, Borsalino instantly dispersed his body into countless light particles!!!]
[Then, he gathered himself in high altitude~]
["Yasakani no Magatama!!——"]
[In the light and shadow, Borsalino reformed into human shape. He crossed his hands, then suddenly opened them!!!]
[Countless golden light particles instantly rained down...!!!]
["Let's see what you guys will do now!!"]
[Since close combat isn't his strong suit, he's just using his Devil Fruit ability to kite them directly!!]
[Borsalino is a smart guy too~]
[Boom!!——]
[Just then, the ground suddenly flew up with countless tiny fragments!!!]
[Luffy turned his head to look at Buggy. This was Buggy's awakened ability.]
[Originally, Luffy was going to make a move, but since Buggy made his move, he unconsciously stopped~]
[Then, countless tiny fragments almost instantly flew into the air, then formed into a large bowl shaped like a crescent moon...]
["Nami! Lend me a hand!"]
[Buggy shouted~]
["Alright!!"]
[With Nami's intelligence, she naturally understood what Buggy wanted in an instant~]
[She gripped her fingers, activating her Slip-Slip Fruit ability~]
["Slippery-Slippery: Zero Friction Mirror Surface!——"]
[Her Flower-Flower Fruit ability instantly attached to the large bowl Buggy created!!!]
[One could only see the mouth of this large bowl facing the direction from which Yasakani no Magatama was firing, like a large mouth, swallowing all of Yasakani no Magatama's light beams....!!!]
[And then...]
[Swish swish swish swish swish...]
[!!!!!]
[All the light beams slid around inside this large bowl, then shot back in a circle along the bowl's wall towards Borsalino's direction...]
