Chapter 44
Kizaru wanted to say that this was just a nightmare he had when he was vacationing on an uninhabited island in the East Blue.
However, the pain and injuries he was suffering from were so real! Kizaru, who had never experienced this strange thing in his entire life, became even more confused.
Apart from meeting a person with the same appearance and abilities, he also meets other people who can use the same powers! All of this seems absurd!
In response to Kizaru's surprise, Vermilion wanted to laugh. Turning into light, Vermilion appeared above Kizaru.
"Yasakani no Magatama..."
Kizaru hastily dodged the attack while breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Hey, hey! Isn't this an exaggeration? Why are there so many [Pika Pika no Mi] in the world?!"
"Haha! Kizaru, even though I always find the expression you always show very funny, but your expression now is much more interesting to look at!" Vermilion chuckled.
"But this fun must end now."
Disappearing into light, Vermilion immediately controlled his swords to attack Kizaru.
Swords from [Unlimited Blade Works] and [Ama no Murakumo] are used to their full potential!
Tsunade and Borsalino also mustered their strength. Today is the day when Admiral Kizaru will lose!
If Kizaru were to face regular pirates, they would be easy to beat. Even if he encountered a group of Yonko, he could still escape with his [Devil Fruit] ability.
However, both Vermilion and Borsalino had the same speed as him. Therefore Kizaru's defeat was only a matter of time.

"To be honest, seeing a battered face like this makes me feel complicated." Borsalino sighed heavily when he saw Kizaru lying on the ground with a swollen nose, face, and tattered clothes.
But what's weirdest is, why is Fleet Admiral always targeting Kizaru's face? Turning towards his Master, Borsalino stared with a confused expression.
Feeling Borsalino's gaze, Vermilion couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.
"Sorry, couldn't help it. Seeing the expression he had, this made me want to punching him in the face so bad, sorry."
Hearing his Fleet Admiral's reply, the corners of Borsalino's mouth twitched. Then he realized, isn't the expression Kizaru showing precisely the same as he always shows?
"Fleet Admiral, I didn't expect you really want to punch me in the face so much." Borsalino said.
"No, this applies to my opponent. You are my partner. Instead, I really like your style, you know, this feeling is a bit strange." Vermilion explained in an easy tone.
Hearing his Fleet Admiral's confirmation, Borsalino finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So what are we going to do with this guy?" Borsalino pointed at Kizaru, who was currently unconscious.
"Should we kill him?"
"Well, since he survived, it's better to let him live. After all, I don't have any grudges or bad feelings towards him myself." Vermilion shook his head.
That's true; Vermilion himself doesn't really hate Kizaru or the Marines.
"Tsunade, can you seal him?" Turning to Tsunade, Vermilion asked.
"Of course! Even though I'm known as a medical expert, that doesn't mean I don't know seal Jutsu." Tsunade answered while puffing out her chest.
Seeing Tsunade's cute demeanour, Vermilion couldn't help but be tempted, then jabbed his index finger into the tender melon.
"Then I'll leave him to you. After sealing him, throw him into the [Shikkotsu forest] as a precaution."
"Leave everything to me, Little Master." Blushing, Tsunade nodded with a smile.
After Vermilion and Borsalino moved some distance away, Tsunade took out a scroll and placed it in front of Kizaru.
"Don't worry, Kizaru. When the time comes, I will release you. I hope you understand our current situation."
Kizaru's body was suddenly wrapped in bandages, and then his body was pulled into the seal.
When the time comes, Kizaru will play a role in helping Drake's Pirate handle the World Government. As for how it would be, Vermilion would see it in the future.
Even if Kizaru didn't want to, he would definitely do it. Why? Since Borsalino would play a role in replacing him, when he rebelled, the real Kizaru would automatically become the target of the World Government.
"Tsunade, use [Shadow Clone] to imitate the masked man's appearance. After that create a dummy outfit for Borsalino, we'll tie him up with Seastone chains." Vermilion said.
"Borsalino, take your time getting changed. After that we'll bond you with Seastone."
"I know Seastone has no effect on you anymore, but try to pretend to be weak. We'll pretend to keep you hostage." Vermilion continued.
"Don't worry, Fleet Admiral; I have some acting experience." Borsalino nodded.
"Good. When you are ready, we will return to the real world. Besides, I am very curious about the battle outside."
Vermilion firmly believes that Li Shuwen, Drake and Emiya can deal with Garp. Their combined strength shouldn't be a problem defeating that old man.
But what he saw after returning greatly shocked him!
