One Piece - Life Choice Ask Me to Kiss Marine Goddes Hina

Chapter 168: 168 Empire War, Kizaru vs Gion



With dozens of different buffs layered on him, Moria felt unstoppable, even daring to think he could beat Kizaru alone! 

Seeing his muscles bulge with newfound power, his confidence increased greatly. 

He imagined himself punching through the Three Admirals and kicking down the Five Elders with ease.

Of course, this was just Moria's illusion.

Meanwhile, after empowering her allies, Gion drew her sword, Konpira. She open her warm red lips and blew a breath of colorful orchid-scented mist onto the blade. 

From that moment, it became a deadly, poisoned sword.

The sword now had seven deadly effects, including paralysis, poison, dizziness, and weakness. 

Just a single touch from its tip could flip a three-thousand-meter-long Sea King upside down.

"Kizaru, long time no see."

After doing all this, Gion held Konpira in her hand and smiled at Kizaru. The powerful aura on her body was terrifying.

"Is that really you, Gion-chan!?" 

Kizaru blinked in disbelief, rubbing his eyes as he felt the immense power huge from her. He could hardly recognize the powerful presence standing before him in the sky.

It had only been three years since they last saw each other, yet Kizaru couldn't shake the feeling that Gion was now just as strong as he was. 

How was that possible?! There must be something wrong with this world. 

First, there was that cat wielding the skills of a master swordsman, and now Gion reappeared with Admiral-level strength. 

It was like the world had turned upside down in the years he spent slacking off.

"Although I don't want to fight you, for the sake of my husband, I have no choice but to beat you up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gion appeared in front of Kizaru, and Kimpira struck down at lightning speed.

Gion moved with such speed that even Kizaru, the wielder of the Light Fruit, almost couldn't keep up.

"Ama no Murakumo!" 

Kizaru quickly summoned a lightsaber, clashing with Gion's Konpira. The impact sent sparks flying everywhere.

Despite Kizaru wielding his lightsaber with both hands, Gion—now empowered by dozens of buffs—held her own effortlessly with just one arm. 

Inheriting the full strength of the first female Admiral in history, Gion was now a match for Kizaru in every way.

This was like a competition between two athletes of equal strength—except one of them was suddenly boosted with performance-enhancing drugs, leading to a surge in all their stats. 

Thanks to her Paramecia-type Perfume Fruit, Gion's physical abilities momentarily rivaled those of an Ancient Zoan user.

"Eh~ What a frightening little Gion," Kizaru joked out of habit. But then, a sweet fragrance reached him, and a wave of dizziness clouded his mind. 

His expression changed instantly. Realizing the danger, he quickly held his breath, sealed his pores, and retreated at full speed.

"The air... it's poisonous!" 

Kizaru swiftly backed away, putting a hundred meters between them before taking a deep breath to clear his head. 

"Kizaru-senpai," Gion called out with a teasing smile, "my husband always says, 'The more tempting something is, the more dangerous it can be.' Haven't you heard that before?"

In an instant, Gion and Kizaru transformed into streaks of light—one white, the other golden. 

They clashed in mid-air, exchanging thousands of blows in just ten seconds. 

After sensing the effects of Gion's Perfume Fruit, Kizaru was extra cautious, avoiding any contact with the rainbow-hued aura surrounding her.

Both fighters focused purely on speed, reaching near-Ultimate levels. Unlike other battlefields where every clash is like a thunderous mountain or crashing tsunami, there was only one word to describe their fight: fast!

In a single second, they exchanged hundreds of blows.

Below, the expanded Moria was a little dumbfounded, feeling completely out of place. It seemed impossible to intervene in their lightning-fast duel.

With each clash, Kizaru found himself drenched in sweat.

Strength, swordsmanship, Haki... and now, even in terms of speed—the very thing he prided himself on—the opponent was his equal!?

"Are all the youngsters today complete monsters?"

First Lynch, then Gion, one by one, putting a lot of pressure on old men like them.

"Yasakani no Magatama!"

Realizing he was outmatched in strength, speed, and Haki, Kizaru decided to rely on his Logia advantage. 

In a split-second decision, he broke away from the clash and flew up into the sky. Spreading his arms wide, he gathered a brilliant golden light in front of him, ready to unleash his next attack.

"Boom!"

A torrent of dense, golden light bullets rained down from the sky, blanketing the battlefield. Kizaru unleashed his attack with full force, covering several kilometers to ensure he hit Gion.

This "Yasakani no Magatama" was different from his usual attacks—denser than raindrops, faster than lightning.

Seeing there was no way to dodge, Gion quickly grabbed Moria, using him as a shield against the onslaught.

As hundreds of thousands of dazzling light bullets rained down from above, Moria's high-pitched voice turned into a panicked scream.

"Shadow Mage!"

Using his Shadow Fruit ability, Moria quickly swapped places with his Shadow Mage, letting it take the brunt of the attack as a shield in front of them.

...

The Yasakani no Magatama bombardment lasted for five minutes, destroying the surrounding islands for kilometers with blasts dozens of meters thick.

Moria tremblingly moved the Shadow Mage away, revealing the two people inside who were unharmed.

At that moment, Moria was really afraid that the Shadow Mage would be penetrated.

Fortunately, the Shadow Mage proved its indestructible nature. 

No matter how powerful the attack was, it left no wounds on the Shadow Mage.

"Not bad, big man, I think you can be of some use." Gion stretched out her hand and patted Moria's knee.

There was nothing she could do about it. Although Gion was not short, she still looked like a child compared to Moria, who stood nearly seven meters tall.

If it were anyone else using him as a shield, Moria would have scolded them. 

But considering Gion's identity and strength, he smiled and said, "As long as you're happy."

Gion gave Moria a knowing look, then vanished from her position and appeared in front of Kizaru in an instant.

"That's scary," Kizaru muttered, surprised by Gion's sudden appearance. 

He quickly thought, "It seems the Shadow Fruit saved you."

"Kizaru, my husband always says it's rude to come without reciprocating. Take this!" Gion replied with a smile.

"One-sword style: Whirlwind of the World!" 

Gion pointed her sword, drawing it across Konpira. The blade erupted in dazzling light, creating the illusion of a divine paradise floating within the glow.

She stood tall with the sword at her back, golden light shining around her, her figure radiating a heroic, goddess-like presence.

Kizaru felt an overwhelming sense of danger, as if a warning was screaming in his mind. 

He sighed quietly, a trace of frustration in his voice. "I really don't know if I owed you or your wife in my past life. Every time I see you two, something bad always happens."

He grinned wryly. "I'm afraid my waist will hurt tonight."

Kizaru shrugged off his coat, signaling he was ready to fight with everything he had. As he elementalized, the yellow light on his body was overtaken by darkness.

He became the center of death.

On the ground, Moria swallowed hard as she looked at the scene of the two fighting.

Well, he felt that he was still a few hundred million points away from punching Three Admirals and kicking Five Elders.

It turns out that Kizaru is so serious when he takes it seriously.

Moria estimated that if Kizaru had been so serious when fighting him, he would have died a long time ago.

Before today, no one had ever seen Kizaru fighting seriously.

Because anyone who did... didn't survive.
