Chapter 152 - Chapter 152 Kicking an Admiral Flying! Akainu's Fury!

Seeing Vivi attack again, Akainu covered his fist with Armament Haki and punched towards her.

But what annoyed him was that Vivi's speed was too fast.

The moment he threw his punch, Vivi had already pulled back, dodging his attack.

Even if he could predict Vivi's movements using Observation Haki, he simply couldn't keep up with her speed.

Of course, Vivi's fighting style certainly couldn't hurt him.

But as long as she didn't want to, he couldn't hurt Vivi either.

The main point was to constantly pull back and forth, messing with his mentality.

While Akainu's attention was drawn by Vivi, Zoro, who had caught his breath, attacked again.

After this went on twice, Akainu finally couldn't take it anymore.

He suddenly aimed at another battlefield, at Usopp who was standing in the distance sniping Aokiji.

He immediately abandoned his attack on Zoro and instead rushed towards Usopp.

Seeing Akainu suddenly change targets, Vivi and Zoro immediately wanted to stop him.

But while Akainu's speed wasn't as fast as Vivi's, it wasn't much slower than Zoro's.

For a moment, Zoro couldn't catch up to intercept him.

He swung a slash towards Akainu.

But it was easily dodged with Observation Haki.

Vivi released a firebird to try and intercept him.

But it was directly blocked by Akainu with Armament Haki, giving Vivi no chance to absorb the ability.

Just when it seemed neither of them could do anything about Akainu for the moment.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Akainu.

Akainu had just turned around and blocked Vivi's firebird with a punch.

He then felt a dangerous aura suddenly appear behind him.

As he immediately turned to look, he saw Uta kick towards him with a foot covered in Armament Haki.

Akainu instinctively wanted to turn his body into magma, dodging the kick while trapping Uta with lava.

This way, he could directly counterattack.

But to Akainu's surprise, just as Uta was about to kick him, a red glow suddenly appeared around her foot.

Ryuo!

Just as it touched Akainu, Uta's foot retreated like a dragonfly touching water.

But the power of Ryuo exploded in an instant.

Akainu was kicked flying backward, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.

Uta had trained with Luffy the longest, so her physical foundation among the Straw Hat was the strongest, second only to Luffy.

This solid foundation allowed her to improve and master more when Luffy used his heaven-defying Satori to help her gain Haki through combat.

So even though Uta's Devil Fruit ability couldn't help her improve in combat, her Observation Haki and Armament Haki were already top-tier.

For the current Uta, her strength had already surpassed that of an average Yonko Commander, rivaling an Admiral.

Uta's kick not only intercepted Akainu but also stunned everyone present.

Kizaru and Aokiji were still fighting, but they could spare attention to observe the situation on other battlefields.

When they saw Akainu kicked flying and even sustaining significant damage, both of them simultaneously showed expressions of disbelief.

Kizaru's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but open his mouth, revealing a look of terror.

"Oh! How terrifying!"

"That little girl actually managed to hurt Sakazuki!"

"This is truly unbelievable!"

Aokiji also looked shocked, his expression becoming more solemn, and he wondered in disbelief.

"What exactly is the Straw Hat…?"

"The combat power that woman displayed seems to be not much worse than ours, the Admirals, right?!"

"Could it be that we still underestimated the Straw Hat at this point?"

While the two Admirals were shocked by this kick, Kid and Law's crews were already dumbfounded.

Every one of them had their mouths wide open, with expressions of extreme disbelief on their faces.

They had initially thought that the Straw Hat would immediately flee when faced with the Three Admirals leading the forces.

But the Straw Hat stood their ground.

And not only did they stand their ground, but their Captain had not even made a move.

It was in this situation, where everyone thought the Straw Hat was seeking death, that the combat power they displayed slapped everyone in the face.

And now, what was even more unbelievable to these people was that a Marine Admiral was kicked flying and injured!

At this moment, all of them showed extreme disbelief, exclaiming one after another.

"Hey, hey, hey! This can't be true?!"

"Just give me a break! There has to be a limit to how absurd things can get?!"

"A supernova should act like a supernova! Is it reasonable for you to kick a Marine Admiral flying?!"

"You guys are just a bunch of rookies! It's completely unreasonable for rookies to send a Marine Admiral flying, hey!"

"These guys… are too monstrous!"

Although these people said such things, their hearts were all deeply impressed by the Straw Hat's strength.

Even Kid and Law had completely recognized the reality at this moment.

Kid sighed in despair and helplessness, thinking to himself.

"Is it really possible for a rookie to kick a Marine Admiral flying?"

"Phew… I have no comparison with these guys at all!"

Law also sighed in despair in his heart.

"As fellow supernovas, there can really be such a huge gap!"

"I am still… too weak!"

...

Everyone else was deeply shaken by Uta's kick, and Akainu, as the person involved, was also surprised.

He hadn't expected that besides Luffy, there was such a powerful existence in the Straw Hat.

But his shock only lasted for an instant.

The next second, it turned into endless fury.

Akainu got up from the ground, blood at the corner of his mouth, frowning, and said in a very serious, deep voice.

"We can't play around anymore!"

"We don't have that much time!"

"Don't forget there's still Straw Hat!"

"If the three of us together can't even force Straw Hat to make a move, then we shouldn't be in these positions!"

Akainu's tone was extremely angry, and his entire aura became terrifying in that instant.

Everyone on the field could hear that his words were directed at Aokiji and Kizaru.

Upon hearing Akainu's words, both of them immediately became serious.

Kizaru put away his previous shock and feigned fear, then continued Akainu's words.

"That's right!"

"If this gets out, I'll lose a lot of face!"

Aokiji also adjusted his emotions and said seriously.

"Indeed, we can't drag this out any longer!"

"These guys are growing too fast in combat!"

"Dragging it out will only make our mission more difficult!"

The Three Admirals spoke one after another, and then an unparalleled aura burst forth from each of them in an instant.

At this moment, Luffy knew that they were going to use their full power.

Seeing this, the Straw Hat also became serious one after another, also preparing to fight with all their might.

Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and Nojiko all planned to unleash their ultimate moves, and even Vivi was preparing to sacrifice her first life to use her strongest form.

But just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the field, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Kuma!

Although he looked like a Pacifista, Luffy, the Straw Hat, and the Three Admirals and Sentomaru, all recognized him immediately.

"Dad!"

Bonney was the first to cry out.

Her familiarity with Kuma made her recognize him instantly.

Her voice was mixed with surprise, sadness, excitement, and many other emotions.

After leaving Vegapunk, she had never seen Kuma again.

She had also become a pirate to search for Kuma.

Now finally seeing him in person, her eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Kuma looked at Bonney, his eyes also moist, but he was not in a hurry to speak to her.

Instead, he flashed to Luffy's side and whispered to him.

"You can't stay here any longer!"

"The Gorosei are determined to eliminate your crew this time."

"If you drag it out too long, Mary Geoise might even dispatch forces to deal with you!"

"This place is too close to Mary Geoise and Marineford. If they continue to send troops, your crew will eventually be unable to hold on."

As a Shichibukai, Kuma now had some Government intelligence.

For example, the CP0 organization and the God's Knights in Mary Geoise, these combat forces were extremely powerful.

If the Gorosei sent them, the Straw Hat would definitely not be able to stop them.

Another thing that worried Kuma was that the combat power displayed by the Straw Hat was too exaggerated.

When he first learned that the Gorosei had dispatched the Three Admirals to deal with the Straw Hat, he was extremely shocked.

In his mind, the current Straw Hat would not be able to withstand the Three Admirals.

But after he arrived here and observed for a while in secret, he was deeply shocked by the Straw Hat's combat power.

He never imagined that without Luffy making a move, the Straw Hat could temporarily hold off the Three Admirals' offensive and even injure Akainu.

But precisely because of the exaggerated combat power they displayed, Kuma worried that if the Three Admirals did not send back news of eliminating the Straw Hat for a long time, the Gorosei might become impatient and dispatch other forces early, to collectively deal with the Straw Hat alongside the Three Admirals.

In short, Sabaody Archipelago, being so close to Mary Geoise and Marineford, was definitely not a suitable battleground.

Luffy had actually considered Kuma's concerns.

After all, the Gorosei had even dispatched the Three Admirals at such a critical moment, so it wasn't impossible for them to send CP0 or even move themselves.

However, because he initially wanted to test the Straw Hat's current combat capabilities, Luffy wasn't in a hurry to lead them away.

After the battle just now, he had already seen the Straw Hat's performance.

And he was extremely satisfied with this performance.

At this moment, hearing Kuma's reminder, Luffy suddenly thought of something and asked,

"Are you here to help us escape?"

Kuma nodded slightly and then said,

"I know there's an island nearby."

"It's not very far from Marineford, enough to give you plenty of time to go save Ace."

"And the Marine and World Government people will definitely not set foot on that island."

"I can temporarily send your crew there."

Hearing Kuma's words, Luffy thought about it and felt it was quite good.

Now that his goal had been achieved, there was indeed no need to stay here any longer.

It just so happened that they hadn't found a suitable foothold yet.

So Luffy agreed to Kuma's suggestion.

"Alright!"

"But if you do this, you won't be able to return to the World Government, otherwise they'll hold you accountable, right?!"

Kuma nodded slightly and said,

"After helping you this time, I plan to leave the Shichibukai!"

"But before going to your father, I want to spend some more time alone with Bonney."

"I'll come find you later!"

Luffy nodded at his words and said no more.

Seeing Kuma suddenly appear and run over to Luffy, seemingly chatting with him, Akainu couldn't help but ask in confusion,

"Kuma! Why are you here?"

Kuma turned to look at Akainu and said indifferently,

"When I haven't received orders, what I do and where I go, I don't need to report to anyone!"

Seeing Kuma being so disrespectful, Akainu immediately gritted his teeth in anger.

Just then, Luffy suddenly spoke to the field,

"Everyone stop fighting!"

"Karu! Pick everyone up and come back here!"

"Hurry!"

Hearing Luffy's words, the Three Admirals all frowned.

Akainu was the first to roar in anger,

"Hmph! Trying to escape?"

"I won't let you go!"

With that, he immediately clenched his fist and slammed it towards Zoro, who was closest to him.

However, just as he charged towards Zoro, he saw an air door appear out of nowhere.

Zoro was instantly pulled into it and then disappeared.

Akainu's punch only hit empty air.

At the same time, the Straw Hat disappeared one after another from the battlefield in this manner.

The Three Admirals had all intended to stop them the moment Karu appeared.

However, because the attacks were only temporary reactions, their power was not particularly strong, and they were all blocked by the Straw Hat.

Then they successfully disappeared in front of them.

In just a few seconds, all members of the Straw Hat were taken to a different dimension.

Then Karu, following Luffy's instructions, appeared from the different dimension and came to Luffy's side.

Seeing this, the Three Admirals immediately all moved out, charging towards Luffy's side.

Kizaru shot a flash of light, Aokiji released a blast of ice, and Akainu spewed a mass of magma.

The three extremely powerful attacks instantly approached Luffy's side.

However, at this moment, the three of them saw Kuma suddenly take off his glove.

He swung it hard.

Poof!

Karu's figure instantly disappeared from his original spot.

And just as Kuma slapped Karu away, Luffy's figure quickly flashed forward.

As he clenched his fist, a black aura had already appeared on it.

Then, countless terrifying purplish-black lightning bolts burst forth.

The entire Sabaody Archipelago was instantly enveloped in darkness.

Boom!

Luffy unleashed an earth-shattering punch forward, meeting the attacks from the Three Admirals.

Suddenly!

The entire island seemed to be about to be overturned, falling into violent tremors.

Terrifying explosions echoed through the heavens and earth, shaking the hearts of everyone on the island.

And at the point where Luffy collided with the three attacks, brilliant flames erupted.

As if in an instant, they completely engulfed Luffy and Kuma's figures, making their shadows indistinguishable.

However, when the Three Admirals arrived here and broke through the explosion smoke, Luffy's figure had already disappeared.

Seeing this, Akainu completely lost control, angrily questioning Kuma,

"What exactly are you doing, you bastard?"

Akainu naturally understood Kuma's abilities.

At this moment, Kuma's actions were undoubtedly helping the Straw Hat escape.

But he was very confused as to why Kuma would help the Straw Hat.

The other two Admirals had the same expression, their faces filled with doubt.

Sentomaru, who was relatively close to Kuma, suddenly shouted loudly at this moment,

"Kuma! What are you doing?"

"Why are you letting the Straw Hat go?"

"They are our enemies!"

Kuma ignored Akainu, instead turning to look at Sentomaru, and then said to him,

"Thank Dr. Vegapunk for me!"

"Thank him for curing Bonney!"

Hearing Kuma say such words, Sentomaru immediately thought of something.

But his thought was spoken first by Akainu.

Akainu roared in a deep voice,

"You… are you betraying us?!"

Tears glistened in Kuma's eyes as he slowly said,

"I just want to see my daughter again!"

Just as Kuma spoke these words, Akainu's punch had already slammed towards him.

However, Kuma's figure also disappeared from his original spot after finishing his words.

Law and Kid's crews had already taken off running when they heard Luffy tell the Straw Hat to gather.

At this point, all enemies on the field had disappeared.

Only the Three Admirals remained, standing in place with a severely depleted group of Marines, the air extremely quiet.

Just then, the sound of a den den mushi suddenly rang out, sounding extremely harsh!
