Kizaru remained silent, his expression solemn. He clasped his hands together and pulled them apart to both sides, and a golden light sword was instantly grasped in his hand.
Kizaru then transformed into a stream of light particles, moving at a speed imperceptible to ordinary people.
But Ye Chen could clearly see a golden flash streaking across the sky.
In an instant, Kizaru had crossed dozens of meters and approached Ye Chen, wielding the Sword of Kusanagi directly.
At this moment, Ye Chen swiftly pulled up his katana, holding it in front of him to block.
"Clang clang clang."
The two swords clashed, sparks flying. The ground immediately collapsed, and a massive wave of air surged out, sweeping in all directions like a hurricane, rolling up layers of sand and pushing them far away.
"Kizaru, your swordsmanship is not good enough," Ye Chen murmured.
Immediately, Ye Chen's katana radiated light, and a massive sword aura, infused with skilled Armament Haki, erupted.
Upon seeing this, Kizaru's pupils instantly constricted. His body transformed into a stream of light particles, dodging to Ye Chen's side. In an instant, Kizaru's figure appeared over twenty meters away.
"Can you escape?" Ye Chen mocked with a smile, abruptly twisting his hands to change direction.
The sword aura immediately burst forth, raging like a storm and sweeping with powerful tearing force. Even everything on the ground was swept up.
"What?" Kizaru, who had just stopped, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
But at this moment, there was no time for him to speak. The sword aura storm had already engulfed him.
"Damn it." Kizaru's face changed. He directly slashed with his Sword of Kusanagi.
A sword aura three meters wide cut towards the sword aura storm.
But Kizaru's sword aura did not destroy the sword aura storm; instead, it was swallowed by it.
Seeing the sword aura storm right in front of him, Kizaru's mind went blank at this moment. He had only one thought: "Escape."
Almost instinctively, Kizaru's right foot stomped dozens of times on the ground in an instant.
"Soru."
One of the Marine Six Powers: continuously kicking the ground dozens of times or more to generate a strong rebound force for high-speed movement.
Zefa had just used this very technique to dodge Esdeath's attack. Otherwise, even if Zefa wasn't severely injured, he would at least have bled.
Using the rebound force generated by Soru, Kizaru swiftly dodged to the right.
After all this exertion, even Kizaru felt a little tired. Each consecutive evasion was a life-or-death situation, and his entire body and mind were focused, in an extremely tense state.
"As expected of an Admiral-level fighter." Ye Chen looked at Kizaru with a half-smile, unsure if it was praise or mockery.
Kizaru heard this, his face dark, and he gritted his teeth, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Admiral Kizaru is actually at a disadvantage. Who exactly is this Ye Chen?" Ain, hiding not far away, her beautiful eyes filled with shock, her face full of disbelief.
After Esdeath and Zefa began their battle, Ain had already hidden far away.
But Ain, hiding to the side, felt more powerlessness than surprise.
This level of battle was beyond her intervention. If she carelessly joined, she might be torn to shreds.
The longer she watched, the more she hated and admired Ye Chen, who was her age.
She admired Ye Chen's strength.
She hated Ye Chen's reckless actions, disturbing the world's peace.
Ye Chen, who had been watching Kizaru the entire time, caught a glimpse of Ain hiding behind the trees in the corner of his eye.
One could say Ain was too conspicuous; with her sea-blue curly hair, it was hard not to notice her.
"The blue-haired little girl in the distance, quickly run far away. Otherwise, you'll die." Ye Chen chuckled softly.
Kizaru heard this and turned abruptly, his expression somewhat surprised as he looked at Ain.
He knew Ain. She was a student Zefa-sensei had taken on this year, and she had strong talent. She had always been Zefa's proud genius.
At this thought, Kizaru said, "Ain, go far away. It's best if you leave this area."
"Yes."
Ain heard this and quickly left. She understood that if she continued to stay here, she would only drag Kizaru and Zefa-sensei down.
Watching Ain's figure gradually disappear, Kizaru secretly let out a breath.
Kizaru turned, gazing at Ye Chen: "She's just a little girl."
The implication was that he shouldn't attack Ain.
It was strange to say, Ye Chen was only fourteen years old, not far from Ain's age, but Kizaru spoke to Ye Chen as if facing a peer, clearly having placed Ye Chen on an equal footing.
"Don't worry, I have no need to attack her." Ye Chen shook his head and said.
Kizaru immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If Ye Chen truly intended to pursue Ain, to be honest, he wasn't entirely confident he could protect Ain.
Kizaru believed Ye Chen's words and didn't doubt him. At their level, there was no need to lie about such things.
"Instead of worrying about her, you should worry about yourself."
Ye Chen sheathed his katana. His left hand gripped the scabbard, his right hand gripped the hilt. He squatted down, his eyes sharp as sword light.
"Don't underestimate me, Ye Chen." Kizaru showed no fear. He held his Sword of Kusanagi and stared at Ye Chen, not wanting to be outdone.
Ye Chen said nothing. In an instant, a cold light flashed in the air. His katana was drawn instantly.
"Iai Slash."
