Chapter 485 Kizaru: I fight Lu Li? Me alone?

Chapter 485 Kizaru: I fight Lu Li? Me alone?
On Egg Head Island, after Lu Li released his killing move to clear out the Seraphim, a warship docked at the port from the opposite direction from which Lu Li and the others came.

On the deck at the bow of the warship, Kizaru, wearing a cloak of justice, felt the negative hot wind, smelled the smell of burnt flesh and blood, and frowned slightly.

"Plu~Plu~Plu~"

After the Den Den Mushi rang, he answered the call, "Moshi Moshi, this is Kizaru."

"Kizaru, Egghead Island is under attack by the Beasts Pirates. Vegapunk's life is in danger. Please make sure to repel the pirates."

The order from the Navy Admiral's superior came again, emphasizing Kizaru's mission.

Kizaru looked leisurely and unmotivated, mainly because Aokiji retired and fled some time ago, which dealt him a great blow.

"We just received an order to set sail urgently. The signal is not good. May I ask what the combat power configuration of the Beasts Pirates is like?"

Kizaru asked as a routine question. To be honest, he didn't want to fight the Beasts Pirates at all. Not to mention Kaido and Lu Li, the other big bosses were not so easy to deal with. It was totally inconsistent with his philosophy of doing as much work as he was paid.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Rafar spoke: "...According to intelligence, there were only three intruders."

"Oh, three people."

As Kizaru spoke, he was already walking towards Egghead Island, ready to finish this job as soon as possible.

But at this moment, the voice on the phone followed up, "Hawkeye Mihawk has joined the Beasts Pirates and is in this attack lineup, and Kaido's daughter Yamato is also there, and the leader is the natural disaster Lu Li."

Kizaru paused on the dock, "What did you just say!?"

"The three people I said were Hawkeye, Yamato, and Lu Li."

Rafael emphasized again, "Hawkeye, Yamato and others will handle it, you just go and kill Lu Li."

"what?"

Kizaru's face was full of question marks, "I fight Lu Li? All by myself? Is that true?"

If Rafar wasn't already the Admiral of the Navy, he really wanted to yell at Den Den Mushi right now, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
During the last war at the top, Akainu, Aokiji and I surrounded Lu Li but we still couldn't take him down, and Akainu was even killed in the process. Now you want me to fight Lu Li in a one-on-one duel?
Moreover, Lu Li is accompanied by the world's number one swordsman. Is he easy to mess with?

"Dr. Vegapunk is in imminent danger..."

Rafar emphasized in Den Den Mushi that he was more skilled in deploying troops than the original navy of this world and knew how to transmit information.

If Kizaru is asked to kill Vegapunk, he can only exert 10% of his combat power, and he will also act badly.

But if Kizaru is asked to protect his friend Vegapunk, and if the enemy he faces is Lu Li, who has killed his comrade-in-arms from the same period, then Kizaru's combat power will definitely be able to be exerted to more than 80%.

As for Vegapunk, he now has no means to contact Kizaru, and in Rafael's view, Kizaru is just a consumable.

As long as Kizaru can work hard in the battle with Lu Li, Rafar doesn't think Kizaru can survive after the battle. By then, both Lu Li and Kizaru are dead, and he doesn't have to worry about Kizaru causing trouble.

The only regret is that Kizaru’s Shine Fruit is very good, and if they play like this it may fall into Lu Li’s hands, and they will miss the chance to get it.

"Really..."

Huang Yuan sighed, looking like he had a headache, "Marshal, you are not using this battle to eliminate dissidents, are you?"

"Admiral Borsalino, you are joking. You are the backbone of the navy and the last admiral. If even you are lost, what is the meaning of my existence as a marshal?"

Rafael said politely, he didn't expect Kizaru to be so alert.

"Forget it. I can't just leave Vegapunk alone. Reinforcements must come quickly."

Kizaru said, hanging up the Den Den Mushi and saying hello to Zhan Taomaru behind him, "Let's go save the doctor."

He built Egghead Island together with his friends like Vegapunk and Sentaomaru, and they have a deep friendship, so even if Kizaru thinks that Marshal Rafael is unreliable, it is impossible for him not to help at this time.

This is even more true for Zhan Taomaru, who was almost raised by Vegapunk. When his adoptive father is in trouble, how could he sit on a warship and watch the show?

At this time, on Egghead Island, Lu Li's observation Haki combined with the electric current had roughly figured out where the instructions to the Seraphim came from, and he was walking towards the control room.

He came to Egghead Island not only for the grand strategic purpose of conquering the world, but also to complete the second part of his main mission.

[Main Quest. Second Ring: The Mystery of the Huge Kingdom]

Mission content: Pioneers are requested to fully analyze the secrets of the ancient great kingdom, obtain the ancient kingdom's technology, and master the operation of at least two ancient weapons.

Mission difficulty: Easy ~ Must die
Mission Reward: Upgrade the Conqueror's Haki and unlock the final stage of the main mission.

Failure penalty: -10 to all attributes
This mission is honestly pretty tricky, with difficulty ranging from easy to certain death.

Of course, Lu Li felt that this certain death was not a threat to his life, but the key to unlocking the technological secrets of the ancient kingdom lay in Vegapunk. If Vegapunk was killed by the World Government before he could "rescue" him, then he would have failed.

In fact, with his observation Haki combined with his electric current perception, he could no longer find Vegapunk's clone, which meant that he had been killed by the explorer of the rune space or the world government.

The only thing that made Lu Li feel relieved was that the mission had not been declared a failure, which meant that Vegapunk might still be alive, or that Vegapunk had left behind information that could reveal the truth, and he still had a chance to complete the mission.

This is also why Lu Li did not bother to slowly increase his aura and directly and roughly cleared out the Seraphim, because he noticed that all of Vegapunk's clones were destroyed and thought that this was a time of every second.

If you try to show off, you might get into trouble, so you'd better find Vegapunk as soon as possible.

At this moment, at the port behind Egghead Island, when Kizaru and Zhan Taomaru landed on the island to stop Lu Li, Kizaru suddenly turned his head and looked at the sea level.

He saw a familiar ice-blue color appear at the end of the sea level, and then the ice-blue color extended forward in a line. A man was sliding towards this side at a high speed on a skateboard. In just a few seconds, he approached the port of Egghead Island.

Kizaru saw the strange expression on the newcomer's face, so he stopped Zhan Taomaru who was about to take action, and signaled with his eyes to let Zhan Taomaru go to the island first and enter the secret base they knew to observe the situation, while he faced the approaching Aokiji.

"Kuzan, it's not a good idea for you to come here at this time."

Kizaru greeted Aokiji, but since the other party had left the navy, he could only call him by his name now.

"I'm just trying to figure out what justice is and what the truth is."

Kuzan said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt your friends." Kizaru was a little embarrassed, thinking that Kuzan came at a really bad time. If Kuzan came when there was nothing to do, he would turn a blind eye and let him in.

But now Eggman Island is in a state of war and is being invaded. The eyes of the World Government are all on this side, and there are also navy officers watching on the warships. How could he let in Kuzan, who is defined as a traitor to the navy?

But if we talk about fighting, not to mention that Lu Li inside Egghead Island may threaten Vegapunk's life at any time, he doesn't want to fight with Kuzan at all.

"General Aokiji..."

When the navy on the warship saw Kuzan, some of them shouted out the admiral's code name in surprise, which shows that Aokiji is very popular in the navy.

"Watch your words."

There were also navy officers from the old city who reminded those people not to shout randomly. After all, Aokiji had retired and had been removed from the team because of the previous incident. Even if they admired Aokiji in their hearts, they could no longer call him that.

"Why, are there other guests on the island?"

Kuzan smelled blood and burnt smells in the air. He looked up at the smoke rising into the sky from Egghead Island, asking the question as if he knew the answer already.

After a fierce psychological struggle, Kizaru said: "To be honest, Egghead Island has been invaded by a natural disaster. The situation is urgent. If you are willing to fight the enemy with me, I can arrange for you to meet Vegapunk afterwards."

What he said was against the rules. Having his salary deducted was a small matter, but he might even lose his position. However, he did not want to fight with Aokiji.

Moreover, he felt that it was too much pressure for him to resist Lu Li's attack alone, so it would be better for him to team up with an old comrade who had a tacit understanding with him to defend.

"A natural disaster?"

Kuzan seemed a little hesitant, but it didn't seem to be because of Lu Li's fighting ability. He looked back at the navy on the warship and nodded, "Then I will fight side by side with you once more."

At this time, Rafar, who was observing the situation on Egghead Island through a remote reconnaissance tool, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. Aokiji's arrival was something he had not expected.

I can only say that today is really a coincidence. The completion of the fire, the invasion of natural disasters, and the arrival of Aokiji all came together.

Fortunately, Aokiji still took into consideration his friendship with Kizaru and had no intention of fighting with the navy here. After all, he hated Rafael, and it had nothing to do with Kizaru and the marines.

Rafar gave Kizaru a thumbs up in his heart. He didn't expect that Kizaru could temporarily pull Aokiji to their side. Now they would be more confident in surrounding and killing Lu Li.

After the agreement was reached, Kizaru and Aokiji did not waste any time and went straight to the island, rushing towards the place where they sensed a strong aura.

After Kizaru locked onto Lu Li, he fired a series of Yata no Ninja Magatama, blocking Lu Li's escape route.

But this time it was not Lu Li's turn to attack. Hawkeye, who was beside Lu Li, had already slashed out with a reverse blade light. The blade force collided with the light bullet, making a series of explosion sounds.

"How terrifying... Even the world's greatest swordsman has joined the Beast Pirates?"

In this situation, even with Kizaru's personality, he couldn't speak in a yin-yang tone.

Because there are no World Government spies in Wano Country, the news of Hawkeye joining the Beasts Pirates has not yet spread, and the top leaders of the World Government are currently setting a new bounty for Hawkeye.

"Ice Age!"

Aokiji's voice sounded, and a burst of ice mist surged, freezing the entire surface of Egg Head Island. When the ice was about to extend to Lu Li, a snow-white phantom beast attacked, with ice mist also flashing on its body, controlling the cold air in the opposite direction and forcing it to retreat.

Aokiji looked at Yamato who had landed beside Lu Li and entered the fruit awakening state, and was a little surprised, "This really frustrates me. Is my ice fruit ability not rare now?"

Lu Li was a little surprised to see Aokiji and Kizaru arriving together. He thought to himself, could it be that the World News lied to him and Aokiji didn't leave the navy at all?
But when he looked carefully, he found that Aokiji's arms and legs were indeed broken, but they were just prosthetic limbs made of ice and wrapped in clothes, so they were not easily visible.

He didn't think Aokiji could still sincerely work hard for the current twisted World Government after being beaten so badly. He just thought the current situation was very strange.

"Mihawk, Yamato, go find Vegapunk down there."

Lu Li made a judgment, "I will deal with them."

He was sure that there were explorers from the Rune Adventure Group on this island. Without knowing the other party's strength, he thought it would be safer for Hawkeye to act with Yamato. It would also be convenient to ensure Vegapunk's safety after finding the person.

Hawkeye has fighting power and Yamato has charm, so they should be able to stabilize Vegapunk's emotions.

As for him, it would be better for him to be responsible for the battle. If he scares the old man into having a heart attack, his main mission will be over.

Through the high-altitude reconnaissance props, Rafar remotely followed the battle situation on Egghead Island. Seeing that Aokiji and Kizaru really joined forces to fight the enemy, a smile appeared on his face.

So far, everything has been almost perfect, and his real killer move against Lu Li has just begun.

From a high-altitude perspective, at this time, on the left side of Egg Head Island, a whale-shaped submarine docked and a sturdy man jumped onto Egg Head Island.

He held a Den Den Mushi in his hand, "Rafael, you better not lie to me, otherwise those weak guys in the Navy Headquarters can't protect you."

“Don’t worry, you will get what you want after this battle.”

Rafar's voice came, his tone was humble, and it was hard for outsiders to imagine that he was the admiral of the navy.

And if there were any older generation sailors here, they would probably be terrified when they saw this man landing.

In the center of Egghead Island, Kizaru and Aokiji did not dare to be careless because of their previous experience, and directly used the power of the awakened fruit.

In order to prevent the two from destroying the island and accidentally injuring Vegapunk if they continued to fight using their abilities for a long time, Lu Li prepared to end the battle quickly and directly activated his Bankai.

Just as purple mist was entwined around him and murderous intent was rising to the sky, making Kizaru and Aokiji look grim, a figure flew across the sky.

As he soared in the air, countless technological buildings, the wreckage of Pacifists and Seraphim on the ground gathered towards him, turning him into a steel giant.

The surface of the steel giant was wrapped with top-level armament color and domineering aura, and he punched Lu Li.

Lu Li's Demon Prisoner cut sideways and collided with the punch. The force of the shock made him retreat several steps in the air before he could steady himself.

Kizaru and Aokiji saw the newcomer but instead of waiting for the joy of reinforcements, they called out the other's name in shock, "Barrett!?"
