One Piece: My Uncle Is Kizaru

###

The intense flames flashed, followed by a deafening explosion!

The stone harbor gate shattered under the power of the two explosive tags, crumbling into pieces and sinking into the sea.

The once bustling Marine base, ready to set sail and capture pirates, fell silent after the explosion.

"What... what just happened!?"

The Marines stared in shock at the dust and smoke at the gate, exchanging bewildered glances as they sensed something was wrong.

At that moment, a roaring gust of wind swept through, clearing a wide path through the chaos at the gate.

The *Diga*, riding the wind, slowly sailed into the base's harbor through the newly opened channel.

"Good morning, Marines."

Standing at the bow of the *Diga*, Kyle raised his head, revealing a devilish smile!

Beside him, Tashigi had already completed her incantation the moment he finished speaking!

"Ruler of the skies! Mask of flesh and blood, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of man! Inferno and conflict, surging across the seas to the south, march forth!"

"Hadō #31: Shakkahō (Red Fire Cannon)!"

Boom!!!

With a soft shout from the girl, a crimson beam of light, like lightning, shot across the sky, striking the base of a cannon on the harbor.

The massive shockwave was unstoppable, instantly destroying the cannon.

But the powerful energy beam didn't stop there. Under Tashigi's control, it swept across the other cannons with a flick of her fingers!

Against the power of the Red Fire Cannon, the cannons, made of ordinary bricks, were as fragile as a house of cards!

In just a few seconds, all the cannons at the harbor were destroyed!

"Well done!"

Seeing Tashigi so efficiently neutralize the threat to the *Diga*, Kyle nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he suddenly drew Frost from his waist and leaped into the air, jumping off the *Diga* and landing at the harbor.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

In an instant, over a dozen rifles were aimed at Kyle.

A Marine who seemed to be a squad leader shouted in fear:

"Y-you... who are you!?"

"This is Marine Base G-153! If you don't want to die, surrender now!!!"

"Surrender? To you?"

Hearing the Marine's shout, Kyle smirked disdainfully.

The next second, his blade flashed, and he shot into the Marine formation like a cannonball.

With immense strength, he struck the Marine's abdomen with the flat of his blade!

The powerful impact sent the Marine flying, crashing into a wall and leaving a spiderweb of cracks.

"M-monster!!!"

"Shoot! Shoot!!!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Seeing the power Kyle had unleashed, the Marines panicked.

They raised their rifles and fired wildly at Kyle, not caring if they hit him or not.

For a moment, the harbor was filled with the sound of gunfire.

However...

Facing the hail of bullets, Kyle simply smiled calmly.

His Super Intuition had already foreseen this!

The moment the bullets flew toward him, he sidestepped, dodging most of them.

The few that slipped through were deflected with a swing of his blade.

"Looks like I'm getting further and further down the path of being inhuman!"

Seeing how easily he could pull off such insane moves, Kyle muttered to himself.

But his hands didn't stop moving!

Taking advantage of the lull in the gunfire...

Kyle swung Frost, his figure flickering like a ghost as he moved behind several Marines.

The next second, all gunfire ceased.

Thud~

Like dominoes, as the first Marine fell unconscious, the others followed, collapsing to the ground one by one.

"So... so strong!"

On the *Diga*, Koby watched in awe as Kyle knocked out over a dozen Marines in an instant. His eyes sparkled with admiration, fantasizing about one day becoming just as powerful.

"Koby!"

At that moment, Kyle's voice abruptly interrupted his daydream.

"Yes!"

Koby instinctively straightened up, responding like a soldier.

Kyle smiled and pointed to the battlefield:

"Later, strip them of their weapons and ammunition and load everything into the empty room on the second floor of the *Diga*."

These weapons and ammunition were money!

The mayor of Will Town was still waiting for him to return and complete their deal!

"Yes, Captain Kyle!"

Koby shouted seriously, then immediately ran off the *Diga* to carry out Kyle's orders.

Meanwhile, Kyle turned his gaze to Tashigi, who had just disembarked, and said with a smile:

"The rest is up to you."

"Please rest assured, Captain Kyle!"

Tashigi's eyes flashed as she scanned the Marine base building.

By now, many had heard the commotion outside and were rushing out of the building with their weapons and equipment.

"Pirates!"

"Pirates are attacking the base!"

"Hold on, Captain Morgan will be here soon!"

"..."

"..."

The Marines hurried out, but before they could assess the situation at the harbor...

The quiet Tashigi suddenly let out a shocking shout, her hands aimed at the incoming Marines as spiritual energy surged forth!

"Bakudō #21: Sekienton (Red Smoke Escape)!!!"

Boom!

With a soft explosion, a thick red smoke enveloped all the Marines, obscuring their vision!

"Dammit! I can't see!"

"Watch out for enemy attacks!"

The Marines shouted warnings to each other in the smoke.

But the next second, another shout from the girl rang out:

"Bakudō #37: Tsuriboshi (Hanging Star)!!!"

A transparent net made of spiritual energy appeared above the Marines and then dropped down.

The edges of the net extended into elastic ropes, like Spider-Man's webs or squid tentacles, embedding themselves into the ground and firmly securing the net.

Along with the red smoke, the spiritual net trapped all the Marines, pinning them to the ground and rendering them immobile.

"It's a Devil Fruit user!!!"

A Marine shouted in panic.

But the next second, he was forced to the ground, his face rubbing against the floor.

"Sorry, soldiers."

Kyle stepped on a Marine's head through the spiritual net and said with a smile:

"For your own safety, just stay quiet for a while."

With that, he continued walking over the Marines toward the base building.

To avoid harming the soldiers, Kyle had Tashigi use Bakudō to temporarily isolate them.

The real battle was about to begin!

Entering the base building with Tashigi, Kyle and she encountered scattered, slow-moving soldiers.

Without exception, all these Marines were knocked unconscious by Kyle and Tashigi's strikes.

The two moved unimpeded, reaching the top floor of the base.

Creak...

The sound of old hinges echoed as Kyle pushed open the door to the rooftop.

There, standing on the edge of the rooftop, was the highest-ranking officer of G-153, Morgan, glaring fiercely at Kyle.

"So, you're the ones causing trouble in my territory!?"

"Hey~ hey~"

Seeing Morgan standing on the rooftop edge, Kyle's expression turned strange.

"You weren't just standing here watching us defeat your men, were you?"

"My men? Hmph!"

Morgan, with his artificial metal jaw, raised his head, his eyes cold.

"Those useless fools who couldn't even stop pirates don't deserve to be called my men!"

"I don't need incompetent subordinates!!!"

"What did you say!!!"

Seeing Morgan's arrogant and tyrannical behavior, Tashigi, who cared deeply for her soldiers, turned icy.

But before she could draw her Zanpakutō, Kyle's arm stopped her.

"You're more of a pirate than I am."

Kyle chuckled as he looked at Morgan:

"Hey, big guy, I'll give you two choices..."

"Either surrender and join my pirate crew, or I'll expose how you captured the fake Kuro!"

"Choose one!"
