The moment the voice fell!
A golden leg quickly kicked towards Yamato.
And Yamato, in an instant, quickly turned around.
Swinging her kanabo, she smashed it towards Kizaru!
Boom!
The long leg and the kanabo quickly clashed.
For a time.
Countless black and red lightning bolts exploded.
Circles of golden energy waves spread out.
A violent gust of air勁 (qìjìn) also swept out!
"Hmph!! Is this the so-called kick at the speed of light?? To be honest, it's not that great!"
Yamato glanced at Kizaru and grinned.
"What a terrifying little girl, to actually block my kick at the speed of light!!"
Although Kizaru was talking nonsense, this time, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
It seems this daughter of Kaido.
Has some strength.
"It's my turn to attack!"
Yamato laughed.
She quickly withdrew her kanabo and smashed it at Kizaru again!!
"Monstrous Strength: Thunder Bagua!!"
"Thunder Bagua??"
Kizaru raised an eyebrow and smiled wryly.
"Let me test if your Thunder Bagua is proper or not, little girl."
As a Marine Admiral.
Kizaru had naturally fought Kaido before.
And quite a few times at that.
He naturally knew that Kaido had a signature move called Thunder Bagua.
This move of Kaido's could be considered a true test of a powerhouse.
Only those who could take this move.
Were qualified to fight him.
And were considered to have entered the ranks of the world's powerhouses.
If they couldn't take this move!
They could only be considered a relatively large miscellaneous fish.
Far from stepping into the class of the world's powerhouses.
Kizaru quickly condensed an orange-gold light sword!
"Ama no Murakumo!"
Kizaru held the hilt with both hands and swung it without reservation.
In an instant.
The light sword and the kanabo, wrapped in blue lightning, clashed fiercely.
Boom!
For a time, countless black and red lightning bolts appeared.
Kizaru's entire body was sent flying like a cannonball.
"Such strong power!!"
The moment Kizaru was sent flying, his entire face changed.
He didn't expect this delicate little girl to have such terrifying power.
The difference in power between them was so huge.
Should I say, as expected of Kaido's daughter!
How would he know.
That what truly made Yamato's power increase so much was not because she was Kaido's daughter.
But because she had learned the Monstrous Strength technique.
Allowing her to burst out with dozens, or even hundreds of times her power in an instant.
"Narukabura!!"
The moment Kizaru was sent flying, Yamato directly used her Observation Haki to lock onto Kizaru's figure, and at the same time, swung a fierce blow.
After receiving the chakra shared with her by Uchiha Shin.
This move of hers had undergone a huge change.
The club's aura contained a large amount of chakra.
One plus one, the power was far greater than two.
Kizaru swung the orange light sword in his hand, trying to knock it away.
As a result.
The moment he blocked this club's aura.
His entire body was pushed back rapidly.
Smashing through more than a dozen houses before stopping.
"Yamato is so strong!!"
"She can actually suppress an Admiral!!"
Uchiha Shin and the others watched the situation outside through the window.
Seeing Yamato actually suppressing Kizaru.
Ulti couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"This is only temporary."
"Kizaru is at a disadvantage because he doesn't have enough information about Yamato."
"So he was caught off guard by Yamato."
"But in terms of strength, Kizaru is still stronger."
"Next, it won't be so easy for Yamato to continue suppressing Kizaru."
Uchiha Shin shook his head and said.
On the other side!
After Yamato sent Kizaru flying with Narukabura.
She used her Observation Haki again to lock onto Kizaru.
Using the Lightning Release mode, she flew towards Kizaru's location.
Meanwhile!!
In the ruins.
A golden light rushed out.
All the ruins and broken walls were instantly sent flying.
An orange-gold light shot out.
Stabbing straight at Yamato!
Yamato stopped abruptly.
She raised the kanabo in her hand to block.
Clang!
Yamato was pushed back several steps. Kizaru turned into a flash of light.
Instantly arriving behind Yamato.
Another fierce slash.
Yamato quickly turned to counterattack.
Boom!
The moment the sword and club clashed.
Both retreated at the same time. Yamato retreated three steps.
Kizaru retreated dozens of steps. Kizaru turned into a flash of light again.
But the moment he adjusted his posture.
He flashed to Yamato's side. Attacking Yamato's vital points.
Yamato had been using her Observation Haki to lock onto Kizaru.
Plus the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
In terms of speed, she could barely keep up with Kizaru's speed. However, it was only barely keeping up. When Kizaru went all out.
And specifically attacked Yamato's vital points from different angles, Yamato completely lost control of the battle's rhythm. She was being led by the nose by Kizaru!!
Even though.
Yamato entered the Okuchi no Makami mode.
She couldn't turn the tide.
However, Yamato integrated the Lightning Release Armor and Armament Haki.
Her defense was somewhat ridiculously strong. Kizaru had the upper hand many times.
But he could never pierce Yamato's Armament: Lightning Release Armor.
Ultimately, it forced Kizaru to enter his awakened state.
With a storm of attacks.
He attacked Yamato.
After entering the awakened state, Kizaru's speed and attack became abnormally terrifying.
Yamato couldn't keep up at all.
Her Armament: Lightning Release Armor was also constantly being pierced.
The two fought for about thirty minutes.
Dozens of wounds were cut on Yamato's body.
Although these wounds were not serious.
They more or less affected her fighting.
Then, under Kizaru's fierce attack.
She made a major mistake.
The experienced Kizaru instantly seized the opportunity.
And severely injured Yamato with one blow.
Pfft!!
The Ama no Murakumo in Kizaru's hand, with the speed of lightning, broke through Yamato's Armament: Lightning Release Armor and pierced her right shoulder at the same time.
Fresh blood frantically dyed Yamato's miko outfit red.
"Little girl, you are really terrifying. You actually forced me into my awakened state, and it took me thirty minutes to defeat you. But this battle ends here."
Kizaru withdrew from his awakened state, panting as he spoke.
"Did I lose!!"
Yamato glanced at the light sword piercing her shoulder, somewhat disappointed.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't show such an expression, okay? The one who's really surprised is me!! You fought against me in my awakened state for half an hour before being defeated. Not everyone has such strength. It's already something to be proud of!"
Kizaru said in his strange tone.
Although he could also fight a protracted battle, he was not that kind of fighter.
He was a speed-attack type.
No matter who he fought.
He always went for a quick victory.
If he couldn't take down the opponent in a wave of speed attacks.
It meant that the opponent was someone he couldn't defeat.
And if the enemy couldn't withstand his fastest attack.
It meant that the opponent's strength was either inferior to his or was countered by him.
Yamato being able to hold on for half an hour.
Under his full-speed attack in his awakened state.
Was already very remarkable.
At least, few among the Seven Warlords of the Sea could do it.
And the substitute Admirals Momousagi and Chaton also couldn't do it.
Therefore.
In Kizaru's view.
The current Yamato also had the strength of an Admiral.
If Admirals were divided into three levels.
The three of them were late-stage Admirals.
Then Yamato at least had mid-stage Admiral strength
