91 Round One: Kizaru
Festival island.
Neither Whitebeard nor the Marines knew that something big was happening outside, and that Big Mom and the Revolutionary Army were coming here.
Certainly..
Even if they knew, they wouldn't have time to pay attention to it.
Because after the horn of battle was blown, the battle between the two sides had already begun.
"Last time I let you run away, but this time I will send you to Impel Down!"
Vice Admiral Onigumo shouted and rushed towards Marco.
"Then it depends on whether you have the strength!"
Marco showed no fear.
"Everyone! We will stop these Vice Admirals, and we must not let them interfere with Pops' fight!"
Jinbei shouted and rolled out with one powerful palm strike.
"Although I am not a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, after spending so many days on the ships, I can't run away when they're in danger!"
Crocodile, with a dangling cigar, rushed out, using his sand ability to roll up a sandstorm.
"I'll help too!"
Luffy exclaimed, joining the battle.
But as soon as he rushed out, Vice Admiral Momonga kicked him.
"You get back to the ship! This kind of battle is not something you can participate in!"
Ace caught Luffy and said seriously.
Although Luffy is one of the Supernova, the rising star pirates from the first half of the Grand Line...
But the strength of Vice Admiral Momonga is not weak. It wouldn't be too hard for him to crush the Supernova before the time skip.
With Luffy's strength, he can't be of any help at all.
"I don't want to!"
Luffy yelled and refused, clenching his fist: "Gramps Whitebeard has been teaching me Haki! How can I run away when he's in trouble now!"
Breaking away from Ace's arm, Luffy continued to rush forward.
"This guy!"
Ace looked helpless.
"Don't worry, just take care of him during the fight,"
Vista reassured him.
Ace heard and could only give up trying to forbid Luffy and joined his attack at the same time to help him
The Whitebeard Pirates strength are very strong, including 'Phoenix' Marco, 'Fire Fist' Portgas D. Ace, 'Diamond' Jozu, 'Flower Sword' Vista, 'Knight of the Sea' Jinbei, Izou, 'Sand' Sir Crocodile, and other crew members.
But the Vice Admiral's strength is not weak either.
Marines have more key personnel.
There are not only five Vice Admirals who usually handle Buster Calls, but also many other Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals like 'Great Advisor' Vice Admiral Tsuru, Momonga, Onigumo, Doberman, Comil, Strawberry, Yamakaji, Dalmatian, Cancer and others
The division commanders and crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Basically, there were more than a dozen division commanders and crew members, but they were completely blocked by the Marines' lineup since there was no fleet captain to open up a way
"Next is my battle!"
Aokiji appeared cold and indifferent, as if he wanted to test their strength.
If it was before, he might not have given his best effort.
But now things have changed.
Before coming, Sengoku hinted that if he could display more strength than Akainu in this live broadcast battle...
Sengoku can withstand the pressure from the Five Gorosei and promote him to the position of Fleet Admiral.
This doesn't mean that he wants to be a Fleet Admiral too much.
But he doesn't want Akainu to become one either.
Because Akainu is too extreme, especially after being beheaded by Whitebeard, he hates pirates even more.
If he lets Akainu become the Fleet Admiral...
There are bound to be countless tragedies similar to Ohara.
"I couldn't stop the Ohara incident, but I, who bear the name of justice, can't stand by and watch more tragedies happen!"
With a cold demeanor, he walked towards Whitebeard.
"Your opponent is me!"
Before Aokiji could take the shot, Bullet blocked his path.
He was defeated by Whitebeard when the steel giant was beaten to pieces. Feeling that there was no hope of winning, he gave up.
He was not seriously injured by Whitebeard.
Actually.
He was hiding inside the body of the colossal giant, and he wasn't injured at all. So, dealing with an Admiral is not a problem for him.
"Devil Heir – Douglas Bullet!"
Aokiji's face changed slightly.
Faced with such a person, even as an Admiral, he dare not underestimate him.
"It's too scary"
"It seems that we can only deal with Whitebeard~"
Kizaru said in his laid-back tone.
As he spoke, golden light flashed.
Yata no Kagami!
He appeared behind Whitebeard in the blink of an eye.
With his hands together, a golden lightsaber appeared.
Ama no Murakumo!
Zhiing
The violent sound of breaking through the air exploded.
The long sword was suddenly swung down.
But Whitebeard's reaction was faster than expected. With a swing of his arm, his Naginata, Murakumogiri, blocked Kizaru fast attack
clang!
The sound of steel clashing spread.
Invisible energy burst, sweeping in all directions.
The surrounding ground couldn't bear this kind of force and shattered directly.
Seeing something amiss, Kizaru quickly retreated.
Coming to the right side of Whitebeard, he said slowly, "It's really scary. You are obviously more than 70 years old, but you're still not weak. I can still see your peak existence with this kind of strength."
"Guurarara~"
"Kizaru kid, are you scared?"
Whitebeard laughed calmly.
"Of course, after all, you are the strongest man in the world~"
Kizaru's tone remained weird.
But despite that, there was no fear in his actions.
Vigorously shaking his Ama no Murakumo, he launched a series of fierce attacks.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A series of sword clashes filled the air.
The speed of the two of them was extremely fast, becoming undetectable with the naked eye.
"It's amazing, your swordsmanship is superb!"
Kizaru couldn't help but exclaim.d
"Guurarara~"
"Kizaru boy, the Naginata in my hand is Murakumogiri!"
Whitebeard said, and the Naginata cut across, bringing up a sharp light.
Don't just look at his usual abilities and Haki.
But his proficiency in swordsmanship is also superb.
Murakumogiri is one of the twelve Supreme Grade swords. In his hands, this weapon is not just for display!
Stabbed!
The sword slashed straight towards Kizaru's head.
"It's scary~"
Kizaru eyes condensed, the long sword in his hand disappeared, and his body jumped up.
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
With both hands squeezed, he placed them in front of his shoulder.
Many golden balls of light appeared, blasting down like bullets.
But is the attack power just average?
"Um?"
Akainu, who hadn't attacked yet, was taken aback.
Seeing Kizaru's signature skill, Yasakani no Magatama, raining from the sky, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
But he couldn't pinpoint where the problem was.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The balls of light blasted down, shattering the ground, and numerous stone chips splashed around.
And brought up dust.
And at this moment.
A sharp sound came from within the dust.
The heavy smoke was broken through, and Whitebeard's figure went straight into the sky.
BOOM!
His strong fist slammed down.
The terrifying vibration wave spread and slammed into Kizaru.
Kizaru didn't react for a while, and the attack reached him, making his body fly back, crashing to the ground.
Boom!
The ground cracked, and smoke covered the area.
When the smoke disappeared, Kizaru was already on his knees, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Just in a few minutes.
As an Admiral, Kizaru was injured by Whitebeard!
Many Vice Admirals were shocked.
The division commanders and crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates were also shocked.
Even Admirals Aokiji and Akainu were surprised.
The confusion grew as they couldn't comprehend why Kizaru, known for his speed and have extreme means to retreat, got injured so easily when facing Whitebeard.
