The Miscellaneous Fish Usually Can't Last a Round

### Chapter 6: The Miscellaneous Fish Usually Can't Last a Round

"I don't have anyone named Sig... Damn it, are you kidding us?!"

Scarface had initially taken it seriously, but after seeing the sly smile on Kizaru's face and catching the word "arrogant" from him, he immediately reacted.

"As expected of powerful seniors, they react quickly~"

Kizaru smiled slightly, dripping with sarcasm, and then changed the subject. "But now... Sakazuki, lower your head!"

——In the world before Kizaru journeyed through, brightness was considered a physical quantity that measured the intensity of luminescence (reflection) on the surface of a luminous body (reflective body). When the human eye observes a light source from a certain direction, the ratio of light intensity in that direction to the area of the light source "seen" by the human eye is defined as the brightness per unit area of the light source, that is, the luminous intensity per unit projected area.

Although the range of brightness perceivable by the human eye is extremely wide, under different brightness conditions, the relative brightness perception of the same actual brightness produced by the human eye differs. To give a simple example, for the same electric lamp, the relative brightness perceived by the human eye is different during the day and at night. During the day, it may appear moderately bright, or even unusually dim under sunlight; but at night, it may seem unusually bright and too dazzling.

In the face of excessive brightness, our genetic instinct tells us that the light is too bright and irritates the eyes. Therefore, when confronted with strong light, our bodies instinctively close our eyes immediately to protect our visual system.

During the day, in order to demonstrate to Brother Edun in the simplest way that he was a user of the Shining Fruit, Kizaru performed a special elemental transformation in front of him.

In reality, it only slightly increased the brightness of photons...

But even with just a slight increase, Kizaru's effect was remarkable. Even in a bright room with interference from sunlight, Brother Aton was still dazzled by him. Even as he hurried to find Colonel Malvern, his eyes were still watering.

So, how much more effective would the same or even more powerful moves be against these unsuspecting fools at night?

——Kizaru narrowed his eyes to slits.

"One hundred thousand lumens!"

Kizaru transformed into a humanoid sun without warning, emitting a brilliant glow. Simultaneously, those fools who had come to cause trouble cried out in pain, covering their eyes.

"Ah! My eyes!!"

"What is this!!"

"Damn it, it hurts so much! I can't see anything!!"

"Ah!!"

None of the idiots who had angrily kept their eyes wide open were spared. They all experienced intense pain as Kizaru flashed their eyes. Sakazuki, prompted by Kizaru to lower his head instinctively, adeptly avoided this indiscriminate attack.

Of course, there was no time to ponder why or what had happened. Filled with fighting spirit, Sakazuki swiftly seized the opportunity and rained down his fists as big as casseroles on the foolish men.

"Think you can pretend to be seniors!"

"Whoa – damn it!"

"Think you can take a stroll!"

"Ah! You guy..."

"Think you can collect 10,000 Beli!"

"Ah! Stop, stop fighting..."

"I think you should visit mtlfanfic.com."

"Are you happy? Are you satisfied? Still pretending?!"

"Ah! Ah!"

Caught off guard, the fools received a severe beating. Some tried to resist, but blinded by the stinging pain, they could only shield their heads and endure the blows. Several ended up with bruised noses and swollen faces, especially the leader, Scarface, who bore the brunt of Sakazuki's wrath and lost several teeth.

However, Sakazuki exhibited considerable restraint. Had he not, his magma-infused fists the size of casseroles would have inflicted more than mere bruises and knocked-out teeth.

Once Sakazuki ceased his assault, these individuals, unable to see due to the pain, hastily fled. None dared to utter a harsh word. The last man running even tripped in his panicked escape.

In response, Kizaru could only shrug and remark, "We sure had an eventful first collaboration, Sakazuki~"

...

On their way back to the dormitory building, Sakazuki, who had always maintained a cold demeanor, finally couldn't resist and initiated a conversation with Kizaru:

"Was that light just now a Devil Fruit ability?"

"Well, although I'd love to tell you I might be a descendant of a super ancient giant of light, I doubt you'd believe it," Kizaru smiled and nodded. "Yes, it's a Devil Fruit ability, specifically the Glint-Glint Fruit."

"Glittering Fruit... of the natural variety?"

Even with Sakazuki's stoic temperament, he couldn't help but be taken aback. He never expected that his roommate Kizaru was also a Devil Fruit user, and of the natural type, like himself.

At that moment, he finally understood why Colonel Malvern had assigned them to the same dormitory. Fundamentally, their situations were equally exceptional.

Despite his surprise, Sakazuki hesitated for a moment before divulging, "I, too, am a Devil Fruit user. A natural-type, Magma-Magma Fruit."

Hearing this, Kizaru smiled. "No wonder I thought you were strong when we first met... By the way, your timing was impeccable just now."

"Hmm... your sparkle wasn't bad either."

Though the atmosphere between them was somewhat peculiar, Kizaru was relieved to see the older troublemaker's attitude gradually thawing. When facing formidable foes in the future, he could ascend into the sky and radiate as brightly as possible, leaving the rest to this tough guy.

Young Sakazuki didn't realize that from this moment onward, he was embarking on a path known as "Kizaru's Enforcer"...

...

Although Sakazuki's attitude toward Kizaru had softened, after washing up that evening, Kizaru refrained from engaging in conversation with the older man.

Firstly, Kizaru was prudent. He recognized that their relationship had not yet reached a point where they could converse freely. Given Sakazuki's demeanor, engaging in casual conversation might cause his slightly improved attitude to backslide in an instant.

Secondly, Kizaru needed to conserve his energy. Assuming nothing intervened, Colonel Malvern, known as the "Devil", would likely begin their rigorous training tomorrow – and until he had solidified his standing in the Navy, he didn't wish to come across as overly arrogant.

(I wonder what astonishing feats Colonel Malvern will unveil for us tomorrow? I'm truly eager to find out!)

***Author's Note***

Among the Navy's three admirals, Sakazuki takes on the role of DPS, Kuzan as control, and Kizaru as support?
