Among the crowd below the large screen in the Sabaody Archipelago, a silver-haired old man wearing a worn white coat and glasses had a smile on his face, but Rayleigh's eyes flashed with admiration and emotion.
"You've really grown a lot, Ron kid."
……
An island in the New World.
Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, was drinking with his companions in a bar, watching the screen inside.
Beckman stared at the boy in black on the screen and exhaled a smoke ring.
"Captain, what do you think?"
"What do you think? Hmm...not a bad prediction."
Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, laughed as he drank his wine.
Lucky Roux, who was eating, nodded: "His dodging speed is also very fast."
"The attack isn't fast enough."
Yasopp laughed, "Dealing with that guy Kizaru will probably be quite difficult."
……
137, Kuina's Thunderous Flash, A Desperate Situation (Part 2)
Drum Island.
On that severed Drum Mountain.
The battle between Ron and Kizaru intensified.
Ron used the power of the Float-Float Fruit to control the other three famous swords, which were tinged with purplish-black by Haki. He quickly drew up countless sword lights and auras, forming a crisscrossing sword array that could cut through everything, enveloping both of them and preventing Kizaru from turning into photons and running around at that terrifying speed.
Kizaru raised his hand, and his glowing fingers fired beams of laser light at Ron, each beam possessing immense penetrating and destructive power.
The downside is that it's easy to dodge.
Ron used his Float-Float Fruit powers to control a large amount of blizzard, which transformed into several giant ice dragons that attacked Kizaru. However, they were also cut down by Kizaru's Ame-no-Murakumo sword, which was formed from photons.
In the repeated clashes of their abilities and strikes, the remaining half of Magnetic Drum Mountain was gradually shaved away.
On the other side of the battlefield.
The battle had reached its most intense stage.
After Xiaoqi and Robin dealt with the elite marines, they began attacking the besieging Doberman.
Although Doberman was able to block most of the attacks with his Armament Haki that hardened his entire body, he still found it difficult to retaliate under the continuous attacks of the group, and he also needed to be wary of the pink-haired young woman.
Her abilities are very troublesome; once you are touched by her, you may lose your ability to fight.
Keng!
As Kuina's twin swords clashed with Onigumo's six swords, crisscrossing sword energies flashed and intertwined.
The ground beneath them instantly transformed into a spiderweb-like structure, cleaved into countless pieces.
After this fierce clash of strikes.
Both of them retreated, standing more than thirty meters apart.
Onigumo's helmet was shattered, and there were several slash wounds on his ferocious face and chest, while blood was oozing from Kuina's shoulder and the base of her hand.
Evenly matched?
No, but judging from her trembling arms, Guina is still slightly inferior.
"Come again!"
The Onigumo, now brimming with ferocity and burning with fighting spirit, shouted at Kuina.
Guina glanced at Connie's side out of the corner of her eye.
It seems like it's about time...
She thought to herself, then exhaled a long breath and, under the puzzled gaze of Onigumo, she sheathed her twin swords.
"call……"
Kuina took a deep breath, gripped the hilt of the Wado Ichimonji sword at her waist with her right hand, and bent her body slightly, assuming a drawing stance.
Her sword aura and sword intent frantically converged towards the blade, and crackling golden lightning began to appear around her.
A sense of danger rose in Onigumo's heart.
But a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
"So you want to decide the victor with a single sword strike... Interesting!"
He also assumed a sword stance, and his dark Armament Haki instantly enveloped the eight swords, unleashing a violent and ferocious sword aura that soared into the sky from his body.
One is outward-looking, the other is inward-looking.
The two people, with their completely opposite styles, clashed, creating an unsettling atmosphere.
A gust of wind blew.
With a stomp of his foot, Onigumo shattered the ground. He wielded eight black swords hardened with Armament Haki, slicing through the air. His entire body was enveloped in sword energy, forming a giant black spider exuding an aura of death as he charged toward Kuina.
"Eight Spiders - Death Slash!"
Wherever you go.
The ground and the air were torn apart by the sword energy.
"Breathing of Thunder, First Form".
With her eyes closed and golden lightning crackling around her, Kuina stomped her right foot heavily on the ground, causing the ground beneath her to sink and then crumble outwards inch by inch.
It was accompanied by a deafening, thunderous roar that tore through the air.
Her figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
A golden bolt of lightning flashed through the air and sliced through the body of the giant spider.
Kuina appeared where Onigumo had been, and slowly sheathed the Wado Ichimonji in her hand, which was imbued with Armament Haki.
"A flash of lightning."
Concentrate on one point, and reach the pinnacle.
The ultimate form of Iaido swordsmanship is unparalleled in its explosive power.
Swish!
Besides the swords in his hands, the swords in the other six of Onigumo's hands were all broken.
A slash ran from his shoulder down to his waist, and blood gushed out.
He gradually lost consciousness and collapsed, leaving countless people in front of the screen in stunned disbelief.
Kuina, the vice-captain of the Sky Calamity Brigade and a renowned female swordswoman, became famous throughout the seas from that very slash!
"Hiss! What a terrifying Iaijutsu! It's astonishing that such power resides within that slender body!"
"I think I saw a golden bolt of lightning..."
"The Vice Admiral...was defeated?!"
"That female swordswoman from the Sky Calamity Clan is so strong!"
"What will happen next? Will the Navy lose?"
"Don't talk nonsense, how could the navy possibly lose to criminals!"
"That's hard to say, those guys aren't just ordinary criminals..."
Just as the people in front of the screen were shocked by Kuina's victory and the vice admiral's defeat.
The next second, something completely unexpected happened!
A massive figure appeared beside Kuina as if by teleportation, and a bear paw swung down at her.
Although Kuina had reacted, the full force of the previous strike left her with no chance to dodge, and she could only watch helplessly as the bear paw came crashing down on her.
The moment the bear paw struck her.
Swish!
Kuina vanished from her spot in an instant.
This sudden turn of events left everyone in front of the screen speechless, staring blankly at the bear holding the Bible on the screen.
"It's... Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"Has he finally made his move?"
"With just one strike, that female swordsman vanished..."
"Dead?"
"No way……"
On the other side of the battlefield, Robin and his friends were still working together to deal with Doberman and hadn't noticed what was happening with Kuina.
