Click... Click... Click...
Every clash and dodge in the close-quarters battle between Rorschach and Kizaru became prime news material for the reporters.
These fearless news service members refused to leave, even after witnessing the aftershocks from the collision between the two powerhouses.
The fight between the two was simply too spectacular — the clash of swordsmanship, the evasion speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit, their game of seeking and creating openings, and the Haki-infused attacks.
Even though, in their eyes, the two often turned into afterimages or golden light, making it impossible to capture their figures clearly.
Each strike seemed to hammer directly into the hearts of the news service reporters.
Watching two powerhouses fight at such close range was truly shocking.
"’Golden Lion II’ Rorschach, the successor of Golden Lion Shiki, is actually a great pirate capable of matching a Navy Admiral!"
"And he even killed Celestial Dragons, planning to train a female Celestial Dragon into a dancer for his own enjoyment."
"This sea is about to become even more chaotic."
"Hahahahaha, this is way too interesting! It’s an unprecedented scoop!"
"..."
The constant sound of camera shutters filled the air. The reporters’ eyes glowed as they stared fixedly at the battle, unwilling to miss a single moment.
Their hearts surged like turbulent waves. They were genuinely looking forward to the massive storm this big news would cause once published.
On the other side.
Nami had already finished dealing with the ordinary Marine soldiers. Most of the Marines lay on the ground with black smoke coming from their mouths. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
The kind-hearted Nami hadn’t killed them outright like the surrounding pirates. She had spared these unrelated Marines.
Vivi, Kaya, and Reiju were facing off against several Headquarters Rear Admirals that Onigumo had brought with him.
These Rear Admirals, who had followed Onigumo for many years, had been trained to considerable strength.
However, the three girls who had trained for two years in the training room were even stronger. The Rear Admirals could only barely hold off the girls’ attacks.
It looked like they wouldn’t last much longer.
Onigumo was struggling to block or dodge attacks from Reiju and Robin, while also having to watch out for Perona’s negative ghosts from time to time.
His gaze occasionally swept over the fallen Marines on the ground, and a sense of anxiety rose in his heart.
The Navy Admiral still hadn’t finished off Golden Lion II Rorschach after so long, which meant he probably wouldn’t be returning anytime soon.
That meant, before naval reinforcements arrived, he would have to hold off all of Rorschach’s crew by himself.
Thinking this, Onigumo felt his heart turn cold. After dodging one of Reiju’s attacks, he found an opportunity to jump back.
He was now covered in sweat and breathing heavily. Being surrounded and attacked by several people had consumed a large amount of his stamina.
Among them, several girls had strength comparable to his own, making it even harder for him to hold them off.
"Have the naval reinforcements not arrived yet? If this continues, I’m really going to die at the hands of these little girls."
Onigumo looked at the girls in front of him with a serious expression and sighed inwardly.
At his age, to end up losing to a group of young girls — this was simply a great humiliation.
Crackle... Crackle...
The sound of lightning cutting through the air rang beside Onigumo’s ear. He suddenly turned his head and saw that Nami had fired a massive lightning bolt toward him without him noticing.
"Thunder Light Cannon!"
Nami shouted sweetly as she fired a huge beam of light from her hand, similar to God’s Judgment.
With the raid suit’s enhancement, Nami’s "God’s Judgment" had greater power and more intense electricity.
Onigumo’s pupils shrank. The Thunder Light Cannon was already right in front of him. His speed was completely unable to dodge this attack.
Now he could only gather all his strength and use Tekkai to block it. He wasn’t sure if he would have any strength left to continue fighting after that.
However, the battlefield gave him no time to think. He could only helplessly choose to use Tekkai to endure it.
Whoosh.
Just as Onigumo was feeling some despair, a figure appeared in front of him.
Clang.
The Thunder Light Cannon struck the sword of the person in front of Onigumo.
Powerful Armament Haki blocked the lightning’s impact, and the electricity scattered wildly.
Once the Thunder Light Cannon dissipated, the person slowly sheathed his sword. There were a few crackling sparks of electricity on his body surface, but they had no effect on him.
"Vice Admiral Onigumo, are you alright?"
After the person turned around, Onigumo clearly saw his face and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"I’m fine. You came at just the right time, Vice Admiral Hozan."
Onigumo panted, relaxing a little and speeding up his stamina recovery.
The newcomer was one of the Headquarters Vice Admirals, Hozan. Among the many Vice Admirals, Hozan was one of the strongest.
He also had a very gentle personality and was a role model for new Marine recruits.
Whoosh.
Two more figures appeared in the field.
They were Headquarters Vice Admirals Onigumo and Doberman.
All of them were Vice Admirals who had received Sengoku’s orders to come for support. After abandoning their primary mission objectives, they had rushed at full speed toward Sabaody Archipelago.
The latter two had arrived almost simultaneously, with only Hozan arriving one step earlier, coincidentally saving Onigumo from being hit by the Thunder Light Cannon.
"Vice Admiral Onigumo, what is the current situation? Are the targets these young girls?"
"Where is Admiral Kizaru? He should have arrived much earlier than us. Why isn’t he here?"
Onigumo and Doberman scanned the scene and asked.
"Admiral Kizaru is currently fighting the criminal ’Golden Lion II’ Rorschach over there. They haven’t been able to determine a winner yet."
"As for the current objective... per the Five Elders’ orders, we are to prioritize killing the Celestial Dragon Shalria Palace to prevent the criminal Rorschach from taking her away."
Seeing two familiar faces arrive, Onigumo sat on the ground with relief to recover his stamina and then explained the situation.
Having worked together for so long, he was very familiar with the strength of these three Headquarters Vice Admirals, so he felt reassured.
"What?!"
"Kill a Celestial Dragon!"
"Why would the Five Elders issue such an order?"
All three Headquarters Vice Admirals looked at Onigumo in shock, then exchanged glances and asked in confusion.
"Yes. The criminal Rorschach not only killed the other two Celestial Dragons, but also plans to take away the remaining Shalria Palace and train her into his slave dancer.
The Five Elders do not allow such a thing to happen, so they ordered the priority execution of Celestial Dragon Shalria Palace, followed by the full arrest of the criminal ’Golden Lion II’ Rorschach."
Onigumo slowly explained the reason.
The three Headquarters Vice Admirals were all shocked by the information Onigumo provided.
Hozan’s squinting eyes opened wide, the cigarette in Onigumo’s mouth fell to the ground without him noticing, and Doberman’s mouth twitched.
"To turn a Celestial Dragon into his slave... Has his brain been eaten by bugs? This Rorschach really dares to think big!"
All three had the same thought in their hearts, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
