Chapter 125.1 : Hong Hong vs Big Mom!

Golden List Live Room.

A brief introduction to Kizaru is also suggested.

[Borsalino, codenamed Kizaru, one of the Marine Admirals, possesses the Glint Fruit ability.]

[Tsunade: Another Marine Admiral. This battle won't be easy!]

[Hyuga Hiashi: There are many formidable individuals in the pirate world. Without the enhancements of our ninja world's Golden List, apart from Yasao and his summoned beasts, no one else could match these opponents if we were to compete from the start!]

[Kakashi: I wonder who dares to challenge them this time!]

[Fourth Raikage: Glint Fruit... reminds me of Namikaze Minato's title, the Yellow Flash. This Kizaru must be incredibly fast!]

[Fourth Hokage: Perhaps the opponent's speed is truly remarkable.]

[Sun Wukong: I will join this battle!]

[Beerus: Monkey King, wouldn't it be unfair if you joined?]

[Sun Wukong: Master has already made a move, so why can't I?]

[Garaga: These Otherworldly individuals seem quite weak. If Big Brother Sun Wukong joins, they'll be easily dealt with.]

[Yasao: Then let's proceed!]

[Sun Wukong: See, the master has spoken!]

[Hyuga Hiashi: Sun Wukong is joining! I formally invite you!]

Soon, Hyuga Hiashi extended the invitation to Sun Wukong.

In no time, a radiant Monkey King appeared in the arena.

Kizaru observed Sun Wukong, dressed in luminous attire but concealing his face, seated cross-legged in the air, and felt a twinge of nervousness.

Under ordinary circumstances, he would jest and jest, but now he had to be vigilant.

"Kizaru from the world of pirates, take action, or else, if I must intervene, you won't stand a chance," declared Sun Wukong.

"Very well, you seem quite formidable. Then allow me to make the first move!"

Kizaru concentrated the power of the Glint Fruit into his feet, launching a kick at lightning speed.

In an instant, a laser hurtled towards Sun Wukong.

Though the speed of the light-speed kick was immense, Sun Wukong merely swung the Aolai Ruyi stick in his hand, effortlessly dispersing the laser.

"This won't do!" Sun Wukong chuckled.

In response, Kizaru photonized, leaping into the air and unleashing a barrage of light bombs towards Sun Wukong.

Boom! Explosion after explosion reverberated!

Yet, after the dust settled, Sun Wukong remained seated cross-legged in the air, completely unscathed.

Kizaru broke into a cold sweat. His opponent not only withstood his assault without flinching but emerged unharmed. Such strength was truly formidable.

"It seems like utilizing the advantage of speed and Haki is necessary to confront Sun Wukong!" Kizaru pondered.

Instantly, he deployed the Yata Mirror, forming a corridor of light through which he swiftly darted towards Sun Wukong at remarkable speed.

However, regardless of the direction of his assault or the swiftness of his movements, Sun Wukong effortlessly parried his attacks with the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

After exchanging blows for a while, Kizaru retreated.

He ceased his onslaught!

Instead, he awaited Sun Wukong's offensive, scrutinizing for openings.

"Why not make a move? I'm right here!" 

Sun Wukong promptly utilized his Senjutsu golden light to phase through Kizaru's form, closing in on him.

"So agile!" Kizaru's eyes narrowed.

Before he could evade, a golden staff hurtled towards him, striking and exploding upon impact.

Subsequently, Sun Wukong continuously launched strikes, each blow connecting with Kizaru.

Yet, Sun Wukong regulated his strength, ensuring Kizaru suffered injuries but remained alive.

"Hahaha, quite entertaining!" Sun Wukong roared with laughter, as if toying with Kizaru.

In the midst of this, Kizaru grew vexed.

He unleashed his full might, charging desperately at Sun Wukong.

"Behold my Monkey King's Cosmic Body!" Sun Wukong's form suddenly expanded, resembling a deity or demon, and Kizaru collided with him, akin to a mortal crashing into a boulder.

Then, Sun Wukong seized Kizaru, rendering him immobile.

At this juncture, denizens of the pirate world stood stupefied, witnessing Marine Admiral Kizaru utterly powerless against Other Worlds powerhouse.

"I surrender!" Kizaru promptly conceded.

Fearing Sun Wukong might crush him if he didn't yield!

The chasm in strength between them was insurmountable; he was no match at all.

"That's, conceding defeat, how mundane." Sun Wukong released his grip on Kizaru, withdrawing from the confrontation. He resumed his cross-legged position in mid-air, radiating a formidable aura in all directions.

Subsequently, the arena declared the outcome.

[Sun Wukong emerges victorious, stripping Kizaru of his Armament Haki and bestowing it upon Sun Wukong.]

In an instant, Kizaru's Armament Haki vanished.

Though for Sun Wukong, an additional Armament Haki held little significance, it served as a token, offering occasional study opportunities that might yield something worthwhile.

Thus concluded the eleventh bout.

[Hyuga Hiashi: Sun Wukong's might is truly overwhelming; his enemies stand no chance whatsoever!"

[Tsunade: Indeed, Kizaru's strength is formidable. Sadly, he's been outmatched in speed, strength, defense, and every other aspect!)

[Fourth Hokage: That's another victory, just two more matches to go!]

[Uzumaki Naruto: I'm itching to give it a shot!]

[Nara Shikamaru: Naruto's already operating at a Six Paths-level combat power. If he jumps in, even against formidable foes, he's got a solid chance at winning!]

The pirates nominated their representatives for the twelfth face-off. With only two contenders remaining, they had little choice.

[The twelfth challenger was Charlotte Linlin, known as Big Mom, hailing from the One Piece World and one of the Four Emperors, possessing the Paramecia Soul Soul Fruit ability.]

[Tsunade: So, she's one of the Four Emperors, but this size…]

[Terumi Mei: Why's this woman so ghastly looking?]

[Jiraiya: A character at the level of the Four Emperors must be incredibly formidable!]

[Hyuga Hiashi: Who's stepping up this time?]

"Master, I'll take this one!" declared Honghong.

"Go ahead," nodded Yasao.

"Thank you, master!" Honghong expressed gratitude.

Immediately, Honghong made her intentions known in the live broadcast room.

[Fox Demon Hong Hong: Hyuga Hiashi, I accept your invitation to face Charlotte Linlin!]

[Hyuga Hiashi: It's settled then, Miss Honghong will take the stage!]

Hyuga Hiashi promptly extended the invitation, which Honghong promptly accepted.

In the arena, Honghong appeared, drawing immediate attention from Big Mom, who charged forth.

"Soul Deterrence!"

Big Mom unleashed her Soul Soul Fruit ability, a power fatal to those who succumbed to fear.

But it had no effect.

"This woman isn't afraid. Looks like I'll have to show her firsthand the terror I'm capable of," muttered Big Mom.

At that moment, Thundercloud Zeus and Flame Prometheus materialized beside Big Mom, unleashing thunder and flames towards Honghong.

Yet, Honghong, with her insulated claws, effortlessly warded off the onslaught.

Insulated and impenetrable.

Then, Honghong invoked her Senjutsu, enveloping herself in a golden aura, her speed becoming unprecedented.

Big Mom, taken aback by Honghong's sudden burst of speed, commanded Zeus and Prometheus to intervene.

But what ensued left them stunned.

Honghong reached out, seizing the souls within the thundercloud and flames, holding them in her grasp and sealing them away effortlessly.

"How… how can you hold souls in your hands?" Big Mom was dumbfounded.

Only by possessing the Soul Soul Fruit could one control souls. But how did Honghong manage to do it, enabling her to grasp Thundercloud Zeus and Flame Prometheus directly with his hands?

"It's the hands!" Big Mom reacted quickly..

Immediately, Big Mom cloaked herself in Armament Haki and lunged at Honghong with a massive blade.

"Ikoku Sovereignty!"

The immense sword energy tore through everything in its path but was effortlessly evaded by Honghong.

After all, bathed in the Sage golden light, her speed was unparalleled!

Honghong then unleashed another Senjutsu technique – the Golden Light Wave!

Boom!

The colossal golden wave surged toward Big Mom, who had no means of escape and could only brace herself.

The wave crashed against her Armament Haki, shattering it instantly. Despite her formidable resilience, Big Mom couldn't withstand the force of the golden wave.

She was sent hurtling backward, crashing into a shield before tumbling to the ground.

Now severely wounded, Big Mom coughed up blood uncontrollably.

In a desperate attempt, Big Mom emitted a peculiar sound, trying to influence Honghong, but to no avail.

Honghong proceeded to relentlessly pummel Big Mom, driving her into a berserk state. However, her efforts were futile as she continued to endure a merciless beating.

Ultimately, Big Mom lay motionless on the ground, grievously injured.

Of course, Honghong didn't kill her but awaited the announcement of the result.

"[The fox demon Honghong emerges victorious, stripping Big Mom of her Conqueror's Haki and bestowing it upon the fox demon Honghong!]"

The Conqueror's Haki of Big Mom transformed into a ray of light, merging into Honghong's body.

With that, the confrontation between Big Mom and Honghong concluded.

The defeat of Big Mom left the pirate world in disbelief. Another of the Four Emperors had been vanquished, and in such a humiliating manner.

This day would go down in infamy in the pirate world, witnessed by all who sailed the seas.
