175 Kizaru did it Again

"Go for it~" 

Kizaru said with a drawn-out tone.

The words dropped, and a golden light flashed.

He suddenly appeared right behind Whitebeard.

When the hands clasped, the light spread and transformed into a long, golden sword.

Ama no Murakumo!

The arm went up, and the long sword came slicing down.

The deafening sound of the sword slicing through the air burst forth, showcasing its terrifying power.

However, 

Before this strike reached Whitebeard, he reacted.

With a quick step and raised arms, he swung his Naginata horizontally, perfectly blocking Kizaru's attack path, neither more nor less.

Clang! 

The metallic clash echoed.

A powerful energy burst forth, sweeping in every direction.

The ground beneath them couldn't handle such force, shattering instantly. Small gravel pieces flew, leaving behind white marks.

"Did you block it?" 

Kizaru asked, his expression unchanged as he swiftly moved away.

Flash~ 

Another flash of golden light.

By now, Kizaru had positioned himself to Whitebeard's left.

With a touch of amazement, he remarked: "It's truly exceptional to witness such advanced Observation Haki that can keep up with the speed of light through intuition."

"Guurarara~"

"Are you scared, Kizaru?" 

Whitebeard smirked.

"Facing the strongest man in the world and the one who hold title of the king of the world, I doubt there's anyone who isn't afraid" 

Kizaru replied slowly.

But that being said, there was no trace of fear in his actions.

The golden longsword drew out the afterimages as it struck at Whitebeard.

Clang! Clang! Clang! 

The sharp sound kept ringing out.

Their exchange of blows reached an incredible speed, becoming too fast for the naked eye to follow.

"Observation Haki that can even keep up with the speed of light!"

Kaido couldn't help but catch his breath as he watched their battle.

In his memory, Whitebeard's most strongest haki were Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki.

Compared to those two, his Observation Haki is less formidable.

But this battle has entirely changed his perception now.

"It can track my every move with precision, down to the millisecond!" 

Kizaru couldn't help but exclaim.

Whitebeard didn't respond but swiftly swung his naginata, creating a sharp gleam.

Zhhhinng!

The naginata made a swift, straight slash towards Kizaru's head. It was lightning-fast.

Even though Kizaru is an Admiral, he felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and didn't dare to push it.

"That's a scary fellow~" 

Kizaru muttered as his eyes narrowed, and he transformed into a beam of light, vanishing.

When he reappeared, he was already in the sky, pinching a beam of light between his two fingers.

"Yasakani no Matama!" 

The light suddenly emerged and waved vigorously.

Numerous golden light orbs materialized and rained down like bullets.

"Borsalino!" 

Akainu's expression soured as he watched from a distance.

Despite Kizaru's aggressive onslaught, he appeared to be giving it his all.

However, upon closer inspection, it's evident that the various moves executed by Kizaru lack significant power.

In other words, it appears that Kizaru, despite his appearance of going all out, is actually restraining his power.

In essence, Kizaru wasn't ready to give it his all from the start; he seemed more interested in putting on a show.

"This bastard!"

Akainu cursed under his breath, but he couldn't do anything about it.

After all, Kizaru is an Admiral, and even if Akainu is a Fleet Admiral, he can't meddle too much.

Feeling frustrated, he could only direct his anger towards Whitebeard.

"Dark Hound!" 

The scorching magma swirled and eventually transformed into a massive column of lava, surging toward Whitebeard.

Due to the high temperature, the sun's rays distort from the heat.

"What are you waiting for? Let's attack together!"

Momousagi warned Kaido and Golden Lion and swiftly swung her katana in her hand.

Zhhing~

The sword gleamed, and a chilly breeze filled the air.

A horrifying sword thrust through a significant portion of the island, tearing through the ground and sending rubble flying, as if it aimed to take down Whitebeard in a single blow.

"Damn Marine!"

Kaido snorted with a cold expression, his eyes flashing.

Being one of the Four Emperors, he naturally has his own unique temperament.

But with the continuous scolding from the Marines and his growing frustration with Whitebeard, his anger had reached its peak.

As a result, he decided to attack the Marines right after the war ended.

Even if he couldn't kill them, he aimed to inflict severe injuries on a few of them.

At this moment, his body surged forward with great force.

His huge body quivered on the ground, and gravel shot up and scattered around.

"Eight Trigrams Thunder!" 

He shouted, swinging the mace.

"Jieehahaha~"

"Give your best fight; the ultimate victor in this battle will surely be me!" 

Golden Lion in the air sneered repeatedly.

After the Marines landed on the island, he was thinking about what to do next.

After all, the alliance between the Marines and them is only temporary. Once the Whitebeard Pirates are defeated, the Marines' next target will definitely be the pirate alliance.

In this situation, he had to remain vigilant.

After pondering for a while, he finally came up with a plan.

His plan was to make the Marines and Kaido work hard to exhaust the four individuals, and after Whitebeard's death, he could then capitalize on the situation.

So now, he only needed to be on the sidelines to assist, without exerting much effort himself.

With this in mind, he initiated an attack.

*Zhinng~* 

With a single sword strike, a massive slash cut through the world.

While this sword's power is impressive, it appears to be slightly weaker than Momousagi's.

Once again, the five people force, causing a great movement..

Whitebeard cast a quick look around, likely discerning the source of the attack.

So he planted his Naginata into the ground and swung it down with force.

He raised his fists and struck heavily from the side.

Boom! 

A shockwave with a great force erupted, sweeping in every direction.

After the collision, thick smoke billowed, completely obscuring Whitebeard's figure.

Whitebeard took advantage of this moment and leaped into the air.

Shabu~

The smoke cleared, and Whitebeard shot straight up into the sky.

He instantly closed the gap between him and Kizaru. His fist was coated with Armament Haki, and he brought it down forcefully.

"Uh-oh!"

 Kizaru's eyes squinted.

Surprisingly, Whitebeard was so resolute, locking onto him directly.

For a moment, he didn't react, and then he was instantly struck, sent flying, and crashed to the ground heavily.

The sturdy ground shattered, and a cloud of smoke billowed, forming a crater.

As the dust settled, Kizaru knelt on the ground, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth.

Surrounded by the five of them!

Whitebeard effortlessly defeated and injured Admiral Kizaru!

"This..." 

Akainu, Momousagi, Kaido, and Golden Lion were taken aback, their eyes fixed on the injured Kizaru, their faces showing shock and disbelief.

Whitebeard's power once again exceeded their expectations!
