Saving Nico Robin (2/2)

--- Chapter 135 ---

Minamoto no Raikou is the heaven-sent child of Gozu Tennou, allowing her to wield divinity and authority over lightning. Facing an opponent that literally turned himself into light makes her slightly excited.

She has slayed countless mysteries from her living era, but this person before her piqued her interest again. In the end, accepting Huo Yuhao's offer to join his side isn't a horrible decision.

"Huh..." Kizaru was speechless.

This woman acts all mighty without showing her presence or aura like the blue-haired young man. Something is weird about these people.

Weirdly, Kizaru couldn't gauge their strengths for some reason, with the blue-haired young man being so annoying. He hissed inside because the weird palm strike still hurt.

Raikou pulled out her katana from the sheath and said, "Be ready."

"That weapon... How dangerous." Kizaru felt a shiver in his spine.

BOOM!

Inside the half-destroyed factory, Nico Robin's eyes widened in shock because the lewd-looking woman actually fought on equal ground with the famous Admiral Kizaru. She doesn't even show a sign of nervousness when dodging those light beams.

'What kind of reflex does she possess to dodge light?' Robin thought to herself for a moment.

Even though Robin has trained her observation skill since the tender age of 8, the fight is still hard to view for her. She could only see some sparks and shadows under the falling snow.

"Do you want to see the fight?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.

"I have a convenient ability that would help you."

Huo Yuhao's blue eyes glowed dimly, sharing the spiritual vision with Robin. She was startled because a totally new world seemed to expand instantly, and much information flooded her mind.

Spiritual Sharing is one of the abilities Huo Yuhao obtained when forming a contract with Tian Meng. It shares what he experiences through the spirit's eyes, allowing someone to witness a whole new realm above mortal standards.

Everything within a 10 kilometers radius appeared so detailed in Huo Yuhao's vision. Even the fast-paced fight between Minamoto no Raikou and Admiral Kizaru couldn't escape his eyes.

"Amazing..." Robin mumbled in amazement.

Admiral Kizaru traveled at the speed of light and tried to pressure Raikou with his speed, but the purple-haired woman casually parried and countered his every attempt.

Her katana is durable, despite not using Haki against one of the strongest Admirals.

Yet, one small detail caught Robin's attention. When the two powerhouses exchanged a blow on each other, Kizaru gained cuts all over his light-elemental body.

"How is that even possible? She didn't even use her Haki."

"Logia Fruit user is invincible against someone without mastery over Armament Haki, but one slash from her injured Admiral Kizaru??"

"Pfft." Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh when hearing that. There is no such thing as invincible in this world, and Haki is just a manifestation of one's will.

Minamoto no Raikou is a famous warrior who has fought and slayed countless demons with her sword. She hasn't learned Haki, but every attack executed by her is imbued with a powerful willpower to win.

Clank! BOOM!

Raikou kicked the roof and smashed Kizaru's face with her fist. She aligned her katana and said, "Heavenly Ox's Crush."

Kizaru formed a light-concentrated shield and watched a bull made of purple lightning charging toward him. He couldn't dodge because the distance between them was merely 30 centimeters.

BAM!

"How annoying." Kizaru clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Raikou pushed her entire body and struck Kizaru like a mad bull, having the Admiral crash into the ground.

"Raikou-san, we have a limited time here. Can you finish him faster?" Huo Yuhao commented casually from the factory, leaving Robin and Kizaru speechless.

With a motherly smile, Raikou turned around and replied, "Hai, Honey~!"

"Huh?" Kizaru felt something dangerous awakening before his eyes.

The previously purple-haired woman got replaced with a raging beast that could destroy the world.

The admiral blinked just once. And He suddenly landed on the edge of the bridge with a dislocated shoulder.

CougH!

"What happened?" He covered his mouth and saw blood covering his hand.

Mad Enhancement is a skill that every Berserker possesses inherently.

Still, in Minamoto no Raikou's case, she doesn't lose in madness but enhances her maternal love for her master. She would do anything beyond the moral standard to satisfy her child(master).

In this state, her strength is insane.

Huo Yuhao could only smile when seeing this because his titles helped him summon Minamoto no Raikou. He's a Lucky Bastard with Ex-Ranked Luck and Milf Hunter.

"And she hasn't fully awakened her potential." He was amused as Scathach doesn't instantly become an adult like Raikou. It's probably because Raikou's vessel is an upgraded version of Demonic Calf.

A lightning flash sliced through the snow, and Kizaru's instinct jumped into action to survive. He covered his whole body with Armament Haki and dodged an incoming attack.

BOOM!

An energy slash and purple lighting sliced the ocean near Tequila Wolf into two, leaving a static wave that made the thunderstorm.

CRACKLE! BOOM!

Kizaru had never experienced something like this in his entire life. Even when facing "the Strongest Man in the world." Edward Newgate, or what people know as Whitebeard, Kizaru could still handle it somehow.

"Shit!" He cursed while releasing all his strength.

"YASAKANI NO MAGATAMA!"

Blinding yellow light escaped Kizaru's body, launching several orb-filled with destruction to face Raikou. It is one of his strongest attacks, which should be able to give him a moment to breathe.

"Biri~! Biri~!"

Kizaru pulled out his Den Den Mushi and secured the distance between him and the beast-like woman. "Sengoku, I don't have much time here." He didn't even wait for the other side to respond.

"I. No, a new trouble has arrived on the sea."

"The mission failed. Two individuals appeared out of nowhere and saved Nico Robin."

"First, a blue-haired young man named Jack Sparrow."

"And the other is a woman in Wano-based clothes. Their identities are currently unknown because I have never heard of them."

"Send a backup, quickly!"

Kizaru dodged a punch from Raikou and felt the wind blow in his ear. He breathed in and assessed the situation, having a hard time because the injuries from the Marineford War worsened with the new ones from this woman.

"HAAA!" Raikou let out a war cry, clenching her left hand.

"This is bad..." Kizaru's mouth twitched slightly. He left with no choice and released a massive energy beam from his right hand, creating all three attacks to even out Raikou's attack.

"Three Sacred Treasures."

Mirror, Sword, and Jewels appeared from the beam and clashed with Raikou's punch.

BOOM!

Raikou frowned and hissed because her right hand was "temporarily." crippled from that attack. The combined attack of Kizaru possessed something that her Demonic Calf's innate nature hates, refined light.

Still, Kizaru isn't in a better position. Raikou might cripple her hand, but the yellow-suited admiral lost his entire right arm.

"He ran away with a tail between his legs..." Raikou mumbled while shaking her body in discomfort. She observed the sky and noticed the yellow light escaped this place.

"That man knew his last attack would stun me for a moment."

"No, he didn't." Huo Yuhao commented while creating a bow from Eas.

He pulled the bowstring quickly and prepared to launch one attack to finish Kizaru, adding his Haki and the Concept of Nullification into an arrow made of Darkness.

SWOOSH!

Huo Yuhao released his finger and watched a spear-like arrow flying past the horizon, creating a screeching sound. He smiled and told Skye to bring a banana when Kizaru was dying.

Huo Yuhao doesn't have a problem with Kizaru, but the yellow-suited admiral has to die. Robin wouldn't return to this world for a while, so he must warn the group who chased her.

[30 minutes left before the System returns Host and his companions to Draconic Deus]

Kizaru left as quickly as he could, ignoring the pain of losing his limb. His Observation Haki was alerted because the danger was approaching him.

"Just a little bit more..." He could see the Marine's Branch a few kilometers away. Even with his light speed, everything appeared to be slower.

BAM!

A spear-like arrow struck Kizaru straight in the chest, making him cough blood profusely. He couldn't use his Logia's power for some reason and fell into the ocean.

"There is no way-!

Splash!

Skye hovered in the sky by flapping his wing and watched the banana his liege told to bring changes color into gold-like, having weird patterns all over it.

'Should I bring this back to my liege?' He noticed a corpse floating in the ocean.

Then, Huo Yuhao's voice entered the shadow general's mind. 'Let the corpse be, Skye. I detect no oceanic beast within 100 kilometers. His corpse will be my message toward the Marine and World Government.'

'Return to my side immediately.'

"Right away, my liege." The shadowy dragon flapped his wings and blew the sky away, returning to the Tequila Wolf.

...

...

"Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao descended from the sky with a worried smile.

Raikou was embarrassed and returned, "I-I'm okay, honey."

Huo Yuhao sighed and grabbed Raikou's right hand, checking it for a moment before giving the purple-haired Berserker a senzu bean. He also checked her forehead because the Mad Enhancement might increase her body temperature excessively.

"F-Fweh!" Raikou blushed because of Huo Yuhao's sudden action.

Robin approached them warily and asked, "Just who are you two?"

"I'm here to rescue and bring you to my world. You are "randomly." chosen to be my subordinate. Quite lucky, I had to say." Huo Yuhao answered casually.

He is too lazy to explain everything, so Robin receives information about Dragon Nest and his goal. The young archaeologist was speechless because another world exists out there. Robin hasn't uncovered this world's secret, and a new one is coming to her face.

"Is it hard to swallow?" He chuckled playfully.

Robin smiled in defeat and replied, "It is hard to swallow, Sir Jack."

"Ah, my real name is Huo Yuhao. Jack Sparrow is just someone's name I knew in the past." Huo Yuhao shook his head gently.

"Anyway, are you going to follow me, Robin?"

"I know you have a pirate crew and others to follow, but it doesn't matter to me. I offered you to join Dragon Nest and return to this world when you are strong enough."

"You still have two years before meeting with your friends, no?"

"How did you even know about that?" Robin sighed weakly.

"Can I think about it first?" Her hesitation somewhat amuses Huo Yuhao, but he doesn't have much time.

"You have 20 minutes." Huo Yuhao replied while disappearing with Raikou.

...

...

Huo Yuhao hovered above the cloud and expanded his lesser Divine Sense to the world. He could feel everything around this globe and noticed nothing existed outside this planet.

Only the Sun, Moon, and some stars surrounded this planet.

Beyond that, there is only dark space.

"This place is like a prison." Huo Yuhao commented while searching for something interesting.

He scanned the world and saw a small island hidden from all places, covering his mouth. "This island is Laugh Tales?" He created a wormhole and stepped onto the island.

This place is nothing special, having some cliffs and trees on it.

Huo Yuhao walked into the island's center and saw a treasure chest with a pointer made of unknown wood. The wood has "This is one piece." written on it.

He shrugged and opened the treasure box.

A piece of paper.

Yes, just a piece of paper.

Huo Yuhao picked it and was amazed because the Voice of All Things made him hear something beyond normal senses. He slapped his face in amazement and laughed loudly.

"HAHA!"

"HAHAHAHA~!!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!"

"One piece is indeed real." Huo Yuhao placed the paper back into the treasure box, staring at it with a smile.

"However, it's useless for someone else besides me, A World Traveler. The people of this world will never be able to realize its true value."

"Gather all the keys and open the gate to a higher dimension."

"The world of One Piece is just small collective dust under a greater realm."

"The Realm of Gods."
