Chapter 111
Kizaru’s eyes scanned left and right as his mind raced, trying to figure out how to rescue the two Celestial Dragons from Rorschach’s grasp.
According to the intelligence, there was a Barrier Fruit user in Rorschach’s crew. If he couldn’t take her down immediately, there would be no chance later.
Just as he was about to pick out a seemingly weaker girl to take as a hostage...
Crack... Crack... Crack...
"Uwaaaaah~~~"
As Rorschach tightened his grip, the immense force caused Rosward’s skull to crack audibly. The pain jolted the man awake.
"What... happened? Why does my head hurt so much? My face hurts too! Aaaaaah!"
Rosward’s continuous screams echoed.
Shalria covered her mouth in shock, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
But the next second, remembering that a Navy Admiral was present, she shouted anxiously:
"Hey! Aren’t you a Navy Admiral?! Hurry up and save my father!"
Shalria’s shouting gave Kizaru a headache. At this point, there was no other choice — he had to act.
If he let Rorschach continue harming a Celestial Dragon right in front of him, it would be extremely difficult to explain later.
Kizaru quietly glanced at the unremarkable Kaya in the crowd. According to reports, this frail-looking girl was the first one Rorschach had taken aboard, and Rorschach doted on her.
Kizaru locked onto her as the target.
The next instant, Kizaru turned into light and shot straight toward Kaya.
Whoosh.
When he was about five meters away from Rorschach’s group, a bolt of lightning flashed toward the streak of light, blocking Kizaru’s advance.
From Kizaru’s perspective, a slender leg appeared before his eyes. This familiar feeling... frёeωebɳovel.com
Bang.
Kizaru instantly raised his hand to block the kick. The light reformed into his human shape, crackling electricity dancing across his body.
"What do you think you’re doing to our ship’s doctor? Do you think we don’t exist?"
The lightning gathered into Nami’s form, followed by her confident and energetic voice.
"Oh my, a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user? How scary~~ That kick almost hit me just now."
Kizaru cautiously took a small step back, speaking in his usual playful tone.
However, he couldn’t help but feel that Nami’s kick earlier resembled his own Light Speed Kick, and she had even infused it with lightning impact and electricity.
"Hehe, what a shame. I didn’t manage to kick away the guy who was trying to target our crew’s precious member."
Nami stood in front of Rorschach and the others, now wearing her futuristic combat suit.
The moment Rorschach had made his move, Nami had already activated her raid suit. She had seen through Kizaru’s intended attack trajectory and intercepted him.
In her raid suit state, Nami could now briefly hold off an Admiral. Her current strength was enough to fight on par with the Commanders of the Emperors’ crews.
With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, she could even easily toy with someone like Jack the Drought by using lightning teleportation to unleash God’s Judgment.
However, if she fought an Admiral-level opponent for too long, Nami would gradually fall behind. Her current stamina wasn’t yet at the level of those monsters.
Karina also slowly lowered her hand that was about to release a barrier. Even if Nami hadn’t acted, she would have deployed it at top speed to protect everyone.
Kizaru’s light couldn’t pass through her barriers and would only crash into them.
The next second, all the girls activated their bracelets. Futuristic combat suits materialized on their bodies.
Since Kizaru had made his move, they would face him in their strongest forms. Even the usually non-combative Kaya and Nojiko stood ready.
"Oooh~ Jerma Kingdom’s technology? What stylish combat suits~ As a World Government affiliate nation, has Jerma already sided with pirates?"
Kizaru’s gaze turned to Reiju, his tone sounding both puzzled and questioning.
"Well~~ After all, as the princess of Jerma, I was taken onto Captain Rorschach’s ship. Father had no choice but to obey Captain Rorschach’s orders. Plus, Captain Rorschach gave me an incurable poison that prevents me from leaving this ship. There’s nothing I can do about it."
Reiju spoke with a gentle smile, her words sounding half-true, half-false.
The suits had been traded for, and as for the "poison"... Reiju felt that Rorschach had indeed given her plenty.
"Oooh~~ I see. What a convenient poison, able to keep a kingdom’s princess from escaping your grasp. Rorschach, young man, could you give me some too?"
Kizaru acted as if he understood, speaking in an envious tone.
However, his words left Rorschach with a face full of black lines.
"Hahahahaha." The girls covered their mouths and giggled.
This left Kizaru somewhat confused. Had he said something wrong?
As a single, workaholic old man who had never been in a relationship, Kizaru clearly didn’t understand the implication.
Still, he could tell there was some hidden meaning he wasn’t aware of. He shook his head and simply changed the subject.
"Well~ Let’s get back to the main topic. Rorschach, young man, what will it take for you to release Rosward Saint and Shalria Palace? If you keep squeezing, Rosward Saint’s head in your hand is going to explode. At that point, the World Government won’t let you off easily~"
Kizaru pointed at Rosward in Rorschach’s hand. The man had already been squeezed to the point where he couldn’t speak and could only let out muffled whimpers.
"Hehe. The World Government? You talk as if letting these two Celestial Dragons go means you won’t chase us afterward. Don’t forget, I already killed one earlier."
"But I’ll be honest with you. From the very beginning, I never intended to spare them," Rorschach said with a ferocious grin.
His words struck everyone present like thunder. The entire venue fell silent for a moment.
"What do you mean by that?" Kizaru slightly lowered his head. The light reflecting off his sunglasses hid his eyes, but his tone was calm.
"Exactly what it sounds like."
"The World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons, have stood at the pinnacle of world power for far too long. Their authority has corrupted the powerful genes and strength left behind by their ancestors. Having a bunch of pigs sitting on top of everyone’s heads really pisses me off."
"I, Rorschach, hereby declare that I will overthrow the World Government, rule the entire world, and become the King of the World!"
The corners of Rorschach’s mouth stretched wide, his expression turning arrogant and domineering.
A powerful aura burst forth from his body. Rorschach’s Conqueror’s Haki had once again grown stronger, breaking through to Grade S-. His presence had now stepped into the realm of the world’s top figures.
"And this guy’s head will be my declaration of war against you Marines and the World Government!"
As Rorschach spoke, his hand tightened.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, his immense strength crushed Rosward’s skull.
The headless body of Rosward collapsed to the ground. His fingers twitched as if still struggling, but it was useless.
