Chapter 182: Thunder VS Flash (Part 1)
From the moment Mu Chong spotted the distant yellow flash that alerted Slad, to the silver-blue lightning meeting the yellow flash, and then to Slad's explosive retreat back onto the city wall, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
call!
A gentle breeze swept across the sky above Steel Island, and the two beams of light that met in the air finally revealed their true forms.
One of them was Admiral Kizaru, a Marine with a white justice cloak over a yellow striped outfit, and a buzz cut, his face showing a look of utter astonishment.
One was Enel, the shipwright of the Liberty, who was wearing a white robe with blue lightning patterns, over which he wore a white long-sleeved shirt and white harem pants, with a headscarf tied around his head. He was beaming with excitement.
The two clashed briefly in mid-air before separating, their bodies falling backward to the ground. They then gazed at each other from a distance, leaving only Kizaru and Enel on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Slade, who had returned to the city wall, looked at Kizaru with slight nervousness, the Marine Admiral he had known and heard about since childhood.
"Captain! He's here! Admiral Kizaru!"
"Alright! Get ready, Slard! Leave the battlefield to Enel for now; it's his turn to fight!"
Mu Chong stared intently at the two people on the ground, gave Slad some instructions, then turned to look at the people from the Kingdom of Derigos beside him. Seeing that they showed no intention of leaving, Mu Chong ignored them.
On the battlefield, Kizaru was somewhat surprised, his eyes scanning Enel up and down.
"Oh my~ This young man's ability is quite unique, it's even somewhat similar to mine, is it lightning?"
Kizaru felt a slight tingling sensation in his hand and curiously asked Enel...
"Admiral Kizaru! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Now I'll be your opponent!"
Enel didn't directly answer Kizaru's question; instead, he was even more eager to fight.
"Oh? I've come here to capture the pirates who stole the Heavenly Gold. Are you that person, young man?"
As Kizaru spoke, he glanced at Enel again, then his eyes fell on Mu Chong on the city wall. From the beginning, he had felt that Mu Chong looked somewhat familiar.
"Tch! Whether it is or not is not that important! Come and fight, Kizaru! Only by defeating me will you be worthy to see my captain!"
Stab it!
As Enel spoke, lightning crackled around him, the silver-blue lightning sparking. At the same time, Enel unleashed his full Observation Haki, having already adjusted himself to his optimal state to face Kizaru.
"Oh my, what terrifying fighting spirit! It seems this battle is unavoidable. What a nuisance. I thought you would surrender as soon as I arrived?"
At this moment, Kizaru slowly abandoned his lazy demeanor, but the nonchalance in his tone remained undiminished.
"Tch! Come on then!"
Stab it!
Enel completely ignored Kizaru's attitude, his body blazing with lightning as he vanished from the spot.
Swish!
The next moment, Enel's sweeping attack appeared on Kizaru's side, but it missed Kizaru and passed right through the yellow flash.
"Hey buddy! Have you ever been kicked by light?"
Suddenly, a rather casual voice rang in Enel's ear, followed immediately by Kizaru's leg sweep appearing right in front of Enel.
Stab it!
"Oh? Logia type? That's a terrifying ability!"
Seeing Enel, who had escaped his kick and distanced himself from him, Kizaru's eyes widened in surprise. His own kick had also passed right through Enel.
call!
Enel and Kizaru faced each other, exchanging extremely brief glances before their mutual probing ended.
"Oh dear~ I don't have time to play any fighting games with you. Marshal Sengoku is pressing me hard; capturing the ringleader is the most important thing... Hmm?"
Swish!
As Kizaru spoke, his body transformed into a beam of light and soared into the air, aiming directly at the wooden rampart on the palace wall. However, his path was blocked midway by a jet-black spear.
"I told you! You'll only be qualified to face my captain if you defeat me!"
In mid-air, Enel, wielding his spear, pointed the tip directly at Kizaru, and spoke in a chilling tone.
"Armament Haki? But you're really stubborn, buddy!"
"Heavenly Cloud Sword!"
In mid-air, Kizaru saw the black spear in Enel's hand, his brow twitched slightly, and as he spoke, a golden longsword appeared in his hand.
Swish!
The two launched their attacks simultaneously, their figures vanishing into thin air as they continued their relentless exchange of blows at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
when!when!when!
For a moment, only the sounds of violent impacts echoed in the sky, and ordinary people couldn't even see the figures of Kizaru and Enel.
At this moment, only three people could "see" the battle between the two in the air.
"Hiss! Enel can actually keep up with Kizaru's speed? Damn it, this guy has been holding back his strength during regular sparring training!"
Slard, fully utilizing his Observation Haki, watched as Enel and Kizaru fought evenly in the air, a smile appearing on his face while not forgetting to make a sarcastic remark.
"captain……"
Aisha, standing to the side, looked tense; her Observation Haki allowed her to sense Enel's emotional changes.
"It's alright! Aisha! This is just the beginning. Enel won't be defeated so easily!"
Mu Chong was also watching the battle between the two in the air. With his Observation Haki, he could easily see the scene of their fight.
If you look closely, you'll notice that in each clash between the two, Enel's black spear is deflected slightly by Kizaru's Heavenly Cloud Sword.
"Enjoy this battle! Enel! Perhaps this is your chance to transform!"
Throughout the Freedom's voyage so far, Enel has encountered virtually no one who could force him to fight at full strength. The dragon on Rilishi Island was merely a friendly spar, not a fight to the death.
This time, facing Kizaru, Enel can finally have a proper fight, since he'll die without even using his full strength.
when!
boom!
In the air, Kizaru, wielding the Heavenly Cloud Sword, and Enel, wielding the Golden Spear, clashed once more. The clash of immense power, along with the overflowing light and lightning, raged wildly across everything around them.
boom!
After exchanging a punch, the two landed back on the ground, bringing their aerial clash to an end.
"Oh my~ What an amazing young man! He's still so adept at handling the Heavenly Cloud Sword! And he even possesses impressive Armament Haki. He's really giving this old man a headache!"
At this moment, Kizaru abandoned any slight of his contempt for Enel, and holding the Heavenly Cloud Sword, he looked at the unharmed Enel before him and spoke.
"Tch! I'm the one with a headache! Kizaru! The captain is right, as expected of a guy with Admiral-level strength. But this is just the beginning. In any case, I have to make you stop underestimating me!"
Enel's eyes were fixed on Kizaru, his mind racing. The battle had seemed evenly matched, but only Enel knew the true gap between himself and the man before him.
However, it's impossible for him to admit defeat so easily. All that training, day and night, was for this moment of world-renowned fame.
"Oh my gosh~ This kind of thinking is terrifying! Following a captain who dares to challenge a naval admiral, are even the crew members this arrogant and conceited?"
Swish!
"Laser beam!"
Kizaru seemed to have lost his patience. As he spoke, he sheathed his Heavenly Cloud Sword, and immediately, a yellow beam of light shot through the air.
"Tch! A mere trifle!"
"Divine retribution!"
The moment the laser beam appeared, Enel's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his Observation Haki instantly spread out. After dodging Kizaru's attack, he raised his hand and unleashed a lightning bolt.
"Oh? Your mastery of Observation Haki is quite impressive! That's terrifying, buddy!"
Kizaru's offensive continued unabated. As he spoke, his entire body flashed with light, and the next moment, a golden, bare leg appeared above Enel's head.
"Light Speed Kick!"
"There's no way to avoid it!"
boom!
Enel sensed Kizaru's approach with his Observation Haki, but his feet couldn't react, so he could only cross his arms to block.
Stab it!
Enel blocked Kizaru's light-speed kick, but his body was instantly transformed into lightning, which spread around him.
"So what if it's the speed of light! Lightning isn't slow either!"
"Lightning Strike"
Amidst the swirling thunder, Enel's soft voice echoed. The next moment, a flash of lightning appeared, and Enel's straight leg materialized in front of Kizaru.
