Chapter 354: Kizaru: If Garp is Here, Things are Easy
"Like I’m crazy..."
Reiner shook his head, stood up, and touched his forehead. His entire palm was covered in blood, which he flicked onto the ground.
I got a little heated just now. Almost turned into Luffy. A decent person doesn’t fight like that.
Reiner twisted his neck, his bones making cracking sounds. His blood-stained clothes sticking to his body felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply tore them off.
He dismissed his battle-axe, and when he summoned it again, it had turned into a pair of tightly fitting arm guards. Their shape was simple, like white bandages, wrapping around Reiner’s fingers, fists, and all the way up his forearms.
"—Phew!"
Reiner let out a long, turbid breath. He slammed his fists together in front of his chest, bent down, and propped one hand on the ground. His leg muscles tensed as his gaze locked firmly onto Kaido.
"Again!"
Bang!
With an explosive roar, Reiner pushed off the ground, creating a dense web of cracks, and his entire person shot out!
"I hope you don’t die too quickly, Black Snake!"
Rumble!!
Kaido laughed wildly. He drew lightning from the sky to coil around his spiked club and, with a swish, he quickly charged in front of Reiner.
"Hōrai Hakke!!" (Roaring Thunder Bagua!!)
A scarlet, ferocious glint flashed in the depths of Kaido’s eyes. He raised his spiked club high with both hands, purple lightning shooting out as he smashed it down fiercely from above!
Bang!!
Reiner crossed his hands above his head to block. The terrifying force that smashed down caused his legs to bend, and he plunged directly into the earth. The ground collapsed outwards in layers, and the powerful Haki madly impacted his body.
With his old strength spent, Kaido fiercely whipped his tail. His thick dragon tail, covered in layers of hard azure scales, whistled through the air as it lashed out!
Bang!!
Reiner jolted his arms, sending the pitch-black iron club flying. He grabbed the sweeping dragon tail, and a fiery pain came from his chest. His internal organs were sent churning by the shock.
He turned, took a step with his left foot, and pulled the tail with his hands. With a twist of his waist and shoulders, he swung Kaido in a violent shoulder throw and smashed him into the ground!
Bang!!
The scene spun in Kaido’s eyes, and his back smashed a deep pit into the ground.
Reiner leaped directly into the air and dived rapidly towards the deep pit.
Kaido shook his head, propping himself up with his elbows, just as he was about to stand up...
Bang!
Reiner’s feet stomped fiercely on Kaido’s chest, embedding his entire body into the ground again. His two fists, wrapped in a ball of white energy, smashed down on Kaido’s face with the ultimate power of vibration and Haki!
Boom!!
Boom!!
Boom!!
In an instant, gore flew in the deep pit.
Reiner went left and right. Every punch he threw made the entire land of Udon tremble!
The violent tremors, combined with the Haki impact, made Kaido’s brain grow heavy. Under the repeated sharp pains, his consciousness seemed to be gradually leaving his body.
"You bastard!"
Bang! Kaido found an opportunity and gritted his teeth, punching back. He smashed Reiner in the face and sent his head flying to the side.
With blood seeping from between his gritted teeth, Reiner’s eyes turned fierce. He clasped his ten fingers, and with his two hands clasped, he brought down a heavy hammer on Kaido’s face!
Bang!!
With a loud bang, the deep pit caved in another layer, and the earth around it shattered and collapsed!
"Urgh—!"
Kaido tilted his head back, his eyes rolling back as a spray of blood flew from his mouth.
Just as Reiner was preparing to continue...
Slap!
An azure tail wrapped around Reiner’s neck, locking it tightly, and pulled him, sending him flying into the wall of the pit.
Reiner felt a sense of suffocation. He gripped Kaido’s tail tightly with his hands, his ten fingers almost digging directly into it, and blood seeped out from under the scales.
"Did you enjoy hitting me just now!"
The intense pain forced the tail to release. Kaido was exposed, his gaze fierce. He grabbed Reiner’s head and smashed him into the ground!
Bang!!
Kaido grabbed Reiner’s head and brutally pressed it down. His vision went black. His entire person was smashed into the ground in a headstand. He bent his knees and pushed out forcefully!
Bang!
His two feet violently kicked Kaido in the face, leaving footprints, and sent him staggering back a few steps.
Reiner propped himself up with both hands and pulled himself out. Light appeared before his eyes, and he had just taken a breath of fresh air when Kaido’s massive fist violently pierced his abdomen, sending him blasting out!
Bang!!
Bang!!
Bang!!
Reiner crashed through several mountain peaks in a row and finally smashed into a mountain.
The few bare hills were pierced with a hole. A dense web of cracks spread out from the hole, and then the mountain collapsed with a roar!
Kaido’s body was like a swimming dragon. He pushed off the ground repeatedly and flew like a beast, dragging his spiked club as he flew close to the ground, weaving through the stone forest at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, he had charged up to the mountain where Reiner was buried.
Just as he swung his spiked club and was about to smash it forward, countless rubble exploded from the mountain, and Reiner’s figure broke free.
"Raimei Hakke!!"
Kaido’s eyes hardened. He swung his spiked club, wreathed in lightning, and smashed it!
"Annihilating Rush Fist!!"
Reiner puffed out his chest, his body leaning back slightly. He drew back his arm and punched out.
Boom!!
The fist and the spiked club collided. Haki sparked black lightning. The ruins behind Reiner were swept clean by this powerful impact!
Soon, the two began a new round of clashes.
Wherever they went, the land was devastated. Gusts of wind from their impacts blasted out, and the earth was pockmarked.
While the fierce battle was breaking out everywhere, on the edge of the Wano Country sea...
Several massive steel warships broke through the turbulent waves, like ferocious beasts crossing the sea, their pure white sails and flags bearing a blue seagull symbolizing justice.
On the leading warship, a man in a yellow-striped suit stood tall at the bow. Kizaru lowered his head, gently lifting his orange sunglasses with his finger, his gaze fixed on the island rising high from the sea in the distance.
"To be able to feel the clash of two waves of Conqueror’s Haki from so far away... how scary."
Kizaru said lightly, his expression teasing.
Compared to the surrounding Marines, whose nervousness and unease were written all over their faces, his performance could be said to be a bit too calm.
Kizaru turned around, and with his hands in his pockets, he strolled back onto the deck. He came to a small wooden table and sat down. Besides Fujitora, who was sitting beside him with his eyes closed, there was also a man with white hair but a still-sturdy figure sitting opposite him, drinking tea from a teacup.
"I say~, Garp-san, you’re semi-retired~. Why are you still interested in matters at sea?"
Kizaru had a slightly sleazy expression on his face, his tone instinctively carrying a hint of sarcasm.
"Hahaha! You guys just do your mission. Don’t worry about this old man."
To this, Garp just threw his head back and laughed loudly. He tossed a donut into his mouth, chewed, and said casually:
"Compared to going to Mary Geoise to protect that trash, this old man would rather come out and breathe some fresh air."
"..."
Kizaru didn’t know how to respond for a moment. The surrounding Marines all consciously turned their faces away, pretending they hadn’t heard anything.
"The Straw Hat crew and Kaido have started a war. And it just so happens to coincide with the newly passed plan to abolish the Warlord system. After tonight, the power structure of the New World will probably undergo another massive change."
Fujitora’s voice was steady as he slowly placed his teacup back on the table.
Kizaru scratched his head, his expression a little troubled.
"Yare, yare~. How troublesome. Sakazuki told me to take the opportunity to annihilate the losing side. What if the Straw Hat crew loses..."
Kizaru intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Garp.
If I were to make a move on Straw Hat, and was stopped by Garp... or if Straw Hat was let go by Garp...
Emmm...
Not bad. I’ll just use that excuse to deal with Sakazuki.
