Playing with Supernovas
---
Urouge clenched his fist, charging it with power, "You really roughed me up, but the me now is a whole different beast!"
"Kuma!!!"
He struck Kuma's body, punched his face, and landed one final blow to the stomach.
Boom!!!
Kuma crashed into the wall, but before Urouge could celebrate…
Zap——!!
Splat!
A laser shot through the wall, piercing Urouge's shoulder.
Boom——!!!
The laser continued past Urouge's shoulder, blasting apart a house behind him.
"Aghhh! It's scorching hot!!" Urouge writhed on the ground, wailing in agony.
"This is getting out of hand!"
"Even if they're all pirates with bounties over 100 million, taking on a Shichibukai and an admiral is a death sentence!"
"Let's get outta here! We gotta escape the island!"
Many pirates, who had been watching secretly, began preparing to flee.
Drake's expression grew darker; he hadn't expected Kuma's body to pair so well with Kizaru's lasers. The World Government had really perfected the Pacifistas.
Kizaru, noticing Drake's expression, mocked, "Rear Admiral Drake—ah, I mean former Rear Admiral—you're scouting this place, right? Why not test things yourself? The more you know, the more despair you'll feel!"
"All of you rookies better watch yourselves… because I'm here."
Urouge fell as the Pacifista targeted Drake, charging forward to throw a punch.
Drake's body transformed rapidly, becoming a dinosaur-like creature that grabbed the Pacifista's wrist and bit down on its head.
The Pacifista expressionlessly pressed its hand against the dinosaur's shoulder.
Zap——!
A laser beam shot from the hand.
Boom——!!
"Graaaahhh!!" Drake screamed in pain.
Returning to human form, Drake muttered, "What is your plan?."
Urouge, grinning, remarked, "That was eye-opening. And I have no plan."
Suddenly, Kizaru's voice sounded behind Urouge.
"Didn't I tell you? I'm right here!"
Startled, Urouge turned, only to receive a brutal kick from Kizaru, sending him flying through multiple buildings.
Hawkins wrapped himself in a thick layer of straw, transforming into a massive straw doll.
"Demon Conquering Phase !!"
Hawkins jabbed ten nails at Kizaru with his fingers.
"These guys over 100 million are all like monsters. So scary." Kizaru said in a mocking tone.
Swish!
Kizaru vanished, dodging the attack, and reappeared with his fingers inches from Hawkins's eyes.
Shing——!!
A dazzling golden light shone from his fingers.
"Aaaahhh!! My eyes!! I can't see!!" Hawkins screamed.
"After so much trouble getting here, you've done well." as Kizaru was going to end him.
Suddenly, a rhythm of beats sounded from above. Everyone looked up to see Apoo playing his body like an instrument.
"Sound Slash!!"
Slash!
Kizaru's arm was cut off.
"Explode!!"
Boom——!!
Kizaru's body exploded, blowing into two parts on the ground.
"Aw, man! If you're so fragile, you don't deserve to be called the Mariner's top power. But hey, this was enlightening! Time for me to bolt! Bye-bye!" Apoo shouted as he fled, having dealt his blow.
Kizaru's lower body stood up as his upper body reassembled from light particles, reforming without a scratch.
"Oh… that gave me a fright."
Kizaru formed a golden mirror in his hand, shimmering with light.
"Yata no Kagami!!"
Zap zap zap——!!
A golden beam reflected off nearby buildings, eventually striking Apoo.
"Hmm?!! What's going on? So bright!!"
Swish!
Kizaru entered the beam path and instantly appeared before Apoo.
The sight of Kizaru up close left Apoo stunned.
Boom——!!!
Kizaru kicked Apoo, sending him crashing down, destroying the building below.
Zap!
In mid-air, Kizaru disappeared, reappearing in front of Drake before Drake could react, his leg already swinging.
Boom——!!
Drake's body smashed into the wall.
Buzz——!
Kizaru pointed his finger at Hawkins.
Zap——!!
A laser pierced Hawkins's abdomen.
Kizaru, taking things seriously, needed only seconds to take down all four rookies with bounties over 100 million.
Just as he was about to finish Hawkins off, suddenly——
Crack——!!!
A massive bolt of lightning struck down on the Pacifista.
Boom———!!!
"Whoaaaa!!"…
The powerful explosion sent everyone scrambling in terror.
As the smoke cleared, the once-indestructible Pacifista lay wrecked, sparks flickering from its damaged circuits.
"Didn't I tell you all to leave? Why are you still lingering here?"
Two figures appeared on the rooftop—it was Shisui and Itachi. They had been on another part of the island but had hurried over when they noticed the commotion.
"That's... the captain of the Uchiha Security Division's First Squad, Uchiha Shisui!" someone recognized him immediately.
Many pirates recognized Shisui's identity. He had recently appeared on the bounty list with an unprecedented bounty of 1.1 billion berries—a record-breaking sum at the time.
Shisui stood with one foot on the roof, looking down at Admiral Kizaru below and shouted, "Hey, Kizaru! Last time, Akira stopped us from fighting. How about we settle things once and for all today?"
