One Piece: Started by Catching Dragon Maid Tohru

Chapter 138 - 138 Hey hey hey, Admiral... could the Admiral be...?

"Hey hey hey, Admiral... could the Admiral be...?"

"Don't say such foolish things, Mr. Kizaru is one of our Navy's top combat forces!"

"Oh oh oh, look over there, something seems to be coming!"

Amidst the noisy clamor of the Marines, a dim golden light, like an arrow, fell straight onto the deck of one of the warships.

"Admiral! It's Admiral Kizaru!"

"That's great! It's really great!"

"Admiral... Mr. Borsalino is still alive!"

"Hahaha, I told you, how could our Navy's top combat force just die so easily!"

Upon recognizing the charred figure on the deck as Admiral Kizaru, some Marines immediately shouted excitedly.

But...

Even more Marines had faces filled with even greater shock and horror.

"Ah ah ah."

"Hey hey hey, this this this... you're kidding!"

"This... how could something like this happen!"

"Our Navy Headquarters' top combat force was actually..."

"Admiral Kizaru was actually..."

All the Marines widened their eyes, and extreme shock, disbelief, and... fear appeared on each of their faces!

Navy Headquarters Admiral!

This title represented the pinnacle of the Navy!

The highest combat power of the Naval Headquarters!

He was practically invincible!

However, now...

The strongest combatant was beaten like a dead dog.

"What are you still doing standing around here? Get the ship doctor over here, quickly!"

Vice Admiral Doberman shouted sternly.

"Mr. Borsalino, are you alright?"

Vice Admiral Stroberry's voice trembled.

Admiral Kizaru covered his eyes with one hand, not speaking, unwilling or unable to speak.

Are you alright?

It was practically asking the obvious.

Anyone with eyes could see that he was in a very bad state at the moment.

If he hadn't been a Logia Glint-Glint Fruit user today,

He would have been completely finished here, no matter what other ability he had.

Even though he escaped, his body was clearly severely injured.

At this moment, having barely escaped from the interwoven net of crimson-black lightning, large areas of his body were charred from electrocution, and all his limbs were broken. His left hand, the least injured, only had a bone fracture, while his right foot was not only shattered but its flesh was also mangled beyond recognition by the lightning.

This was the most severe injury Admiral Kizaru had suffered since birth.

It was also the first life-or-death crisis he had faced since birth.

Relying on his Logia Glint-Glint Fruit ability, he had countless times toyed with new pirates who had just set sail.

Even legendary giant soldier captains like Dorry the Blue Ogre and Red Ogre Brogy were only fit to be walked like dogs by him.

However...

Karma returned.

In today's battle with Roland, his Glint-Glint Fruit was suppressed by Roland's lightning from beginning to end.

Especially after the crimson-black lightning appeared, he was beaten without any ability to retaliate.

Not only was his proud speed matched, but his strength and attack power were also far inferior.

Even his long-range charged light-speed kick was easily countered by Roland, who in turn kicked his leg off.

This man's terror far exceeded the world's expectations, and he was even above the Four Emperors.

In this battle, he lost!

A crushing defeat!!!

...

...

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

Headquarters Building, Fleet Admiral's Office.

Buruburu Buru~

The Den Den Mushi rang incessantly.

Gagaga~

Fleet Admiral Sengoku put down his work and immediately answered the Den Den Mushi.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

Vice Admiral Doberman's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Doberman, how are things at Enies Lobby?"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku pressed for answers.

Vice Admiral Doberman took a deep breath.

"Fleet Admiral, Enies Lobby has permanently disappeared from the map!"

"Oh, well, that can't be helped, after all, it was a Demon-Slaying Order!"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku murmured softly.

"No! It's not! Mr. Sengoku! Enies Lobby was not razed to the ground by the Demon-Slaying Order's gunfire, but completely collapsed and sank into the sea under that man's attack!"

Vice Admiral Squirrel's loud shout rang out.

After a moment of silence.

"What? What did you say? Say it again?"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku's eyes widened, he shot up in surprise, his voice almost cracking.

"Mr. Sengoku, we just arrived at Enies Lobby. Admiral Kizaru, who departed earlier, and Traveler Rolin's battle destroyed Enies Lobby. Admiral Kizaru is severely injured and is currently receiving treatment..."

The seasoned Vice Admiral Fire Mountain narrated this terrifying fact in as calm a tone as possible.

After listening to Vice Admiral Fire Mountain's report, Fleet Admiral Sengoku slumped back into his chair, looking utterly distraught.

Ever since the Enies Lobby incident was reported, he had been restless, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

As expected, the ominous premonition came true.

That man, who could blow up the Door of Justice, was even stronger than the Naval Headquarters' highest combat power.

To severely injure a Naval Admiral and sink an island in such a short time, this was already at the level of a top Emperor!!!

...

...

Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Five Elders' Meeting Hall.

Since this morning, the Five Elders had been here and had not adjourned.

Because today was a special day, with battle situations they cared about in both Enies Lobby and Water 7.

Now...

The battle report regarding Enies Lobby arrived first.

"What? You said Enies Lobby was completely destroyed, no longer existing!"

Mars Gorosei Marcus Mars's eyes widened in anger, unable to believe what he was hearing.

"Nani! Kizaru... That Kizaru was severely injured, the Naval Headquarters' highest combat power couldn't even defeat a newcomer!"

Venus Gorosei Nasujuro suddenly stood up, shouting in shock.

"He's clearly just a mere newcomer who only appeared this year... How could he possibly rival an Admiral, or even... severely injure a Naval Admiral... This kind of thing..."

Jupiter Gorosei Pete murmured unconsciously, shaking his head, unable to accept this terrifying fact no matter what.

"Severely injuring the Naval Headquarters' highest combat power, an Admiral, and sinking an island in battle—this level of combat power is undoubtedly that of an Emperor. It seems we have underestimated that man until now!"

Saturn Gorosei Saturn said faintly.

"The Alabasta Incident Report mentioned that the Shichibukai-level Crocodile was utterly helpless before that man. Now it seems that might not have been an exaggeration. Before an Emperor, a Shichibukai is nothing!"

Mercury Gorosei Wochury said in a deep voice.

"Fi... Five Elders sirs."

Just then, another World Government intelligence agent arrived, shouting in a panic.

"Wa... Water 7 has news... The Air Force... The Air Force actually..."

...Maru...
