With a loud bang, a figure slammed fiercely into a nearby building.
Bang bang bang bang!
After smashing through at least ten buildings, the figure flew an unknown distance.
All the buildings that were smashed through collapsed, dust swirling everywhere, filling the surroundings.
"That was truly exhilarating..."
Ye Jia retracted his foot, looking contentedly at where Kizaru had been kicked away.
"No way... Kizaru actually got... kicked away?"
Scratchmen Apoo's mouth hung open, his eyeballs nearly popping out.
"Nii," along with his subordinates, stared dumbfounded at Ye Jia, completely unaware that the drumstick in his hand had fallen to the ground.
"What an exciting scene I just witnessed... Death God Ye Jia, that title is extraordinary!"
Capone Bege's pupils suddenly constricted, his expression becoming more serious and tense than ever before.
"Captain Drake, where are you going?"
A subordinate saw Drake turn to leave.
"This war between Whitebeard and Marine Headquarters could very well be overturned because of this guy... The outcome is decided, it's time for us to go."
Drake said without looking back.
But no one saw that Drake's hands, which had put away his weapons, were unconsciously trembling faintly.
That was a reaction that only appeared instinctively when one felt fear towards a certain power.
"Is this the power a newly appointed Warlord of the Sea should possess?"
"To be able to suppress an Admiral with sheer strength... I've never heard of his name before, how could such a terrifying monstrous talent suddenly appear?"
"Death God Ye Jia... What a powerful guy!"
Zoro looked at Ye Jia with shining eyes.
According to his judgment, even if he went all out, he would probably find it difficult to match him... This was a powerful existence that transcended common understanding!
He hadn't even clearly seen Kizaru's speed just now... And for Ye Jia's kick, he saw nothing at all, only hearing a deafening sound before realizing that Admiral Kizaru was no longer in his original spot.
Death God Ye Jia... Truly awe-inspiring in his power!
"If I get the chance in the future, I'd really like to spar with him."
Unlike the other Supernovas, Zoro looked forward to encountering Ye Jia.
As the future World's Greatest Swordsman, how could he retreat just because an opponent was strong?
"We must never meet him on the high seas again... We'll lose our lives!"
Urouge looked terrified, Ye Jia's figure turning into fear, burned into his eyes, impossible to shake off.
"Right, you can't meet him on the sea... Including me, all Supernovas who encounter him have a 'battle' failure rate of... 100%.
"'Escape' success rate... 0!
"'Defense' evasion rate... 0!
"'Survival' death rate... 0!"
Basil Hawkins calmly put away all his cards. "Pray. If we meet him on the high seas, we can at least beg for mercy. From his appearance, perhaps we still have a slim chance of survival."
All the other Supernovas, hearing Hawkins' words, said nothing, but their hearts already agreed.
How terrifying was this guy?
The one he kicked away... was one of Marine Headquarters' highest combat powers, Admiral Kizaru!
And he did it with such ease... Is this something a normal human could do?
"Basil Hawkins... you're too pessimistic!"
Suddenly, Kizaru's figure reappeared next to Hawkins at some unknown point, drawing the Supernovas' vigilance.
But when they looked closely, they immediately noticed faint traces of crimson blood still lingering at the corner of Kizaru's mouth.
Admiral Kizaru was injured!
"Death God Ye Jia, your strength has truly opened my eyes... As a Warlord of the Sea, this is an incredible achievement! But as a Marine Headquarters Admiral, if I were to be so easily defeated, Fleet Admiral Sengoku wouldn't let me off the hook..."
Kizaru extended his hand, and a shimmering yellow laser longsword materialized.
[Sword of Kusanagi]
"I hate trouble the most... But some troubles, if not dealt with, will only become more troublesome!"
"So today... even as a Warlord of the Sea, you will fall!"
Kizaru's figure flashed sharply, a fierce intent bursting from his eyes, as he swung the Sword of Kusanagi in his hand and attacked!
As an Admiral, he had been kicked away by a newly famous punk.
If this matter got out, where would Kizaru put his face?
How could he continue to happily show off in the future?
So, whether for his reputation, for showing off, or for his wounded anger, Kizaru had to defeat Ye Jia and prove himself!
"Admiral Kizaru... To be honest, I admire you quite a bit. Despite being an Admiral, you always like to scare children, and you completely disregard your position and rank... You're quite the oddball in the Marines!"
"If your stance today wasn't on the side of the World Nobles, I truly wouldn't fight you."
"But unfortunately... Today I have a reason not to lose, and the World Nobles you represent must lose!"
Ye Jia's eyes flashed, a corner of his mouth curving up, and he casually drew a laser sword as well.
[Sword of Kusanagi]
"I haven't properly challenged an Admiral yet... Don't disappoint me!"
Ye Jia laughed loudly, the laser sword in his hand humming and vibrating.
Chii~~~
The two laser swords collided with a crash, producing no great heavy impact, nor earth-shattering power fluctuations. Yet, all the Supernovas present could feel the power of their collision!
Specks of photons burst forth, leaping and falling from the two laser swords.
"It really is my ability... Incredible! Death God Ye Jia! You can actually replicate my ability!"
Like Doflamingo and others, Kizaru also believed Ye Jia had eaten a Copy-Copy Fruit and was a copycat who could replicate others' abilities.
Kizaru used Light Speed Kick, Ye Jia also used Light Speed Kick.
Kizaru used the Sword of Kusanagi, Ye Jia also used the Sword of Kusanagi.
What else could it be if not the Copy-Copy Fruit?
"But a copy can never surpass the original... Try this!"
Kizaru pulled back, his body suddenly soaring into mid-air.
He brought his hands together, and a brilliant light erupted.
