Chapter 155 Garette's Declaration, A Firm Stance!
"Oh~"
"Looks like my method is working quite well after all~"
Looking at the vast body of water below, which had shrunk by more than half, Kizaru smirked and said, "Let's see what you can do after the water disappears."
As he spoke, Kizaru increased the frequency of his attacks, intending to dry up the water as soon as possible.
cut.::
west Yan, who was in the water, glanced at the water that was now less than half its original size and took a sip.
Light and stuff... it's really annoying.
The intense heat shrunk his water area to this extent!
It's much harder to dodge the laser now than before; you could easily get hit by it if you're not careful.
west Yan knew very well that at this point, continuing to maintain the water area would only be a waste of chakra.
"It seems... there's no need to maintain this anymore," west Yan murmured to himself.
Thinking of this, west Yan looked up at Kizaru high above, his eyes narrowed, and he launched an attack!
"boom!!"
The circular body of water trembled, then transformed into several water dragons that shot into the sky and pounced towards Kizaru!
"roar!!"
"Oh~"
"So, you're finally going to come out of that water sphere?"
Watching the water dragons draw closer, Kizaru chuckled and said, "They really are... quite clever~"
If this guy had been just a little later, he was confident he could cripple him through the water!
As he thought this, Kizaru transformed into a streak of light and swiftly rushed upwards, dodging the bites of several water dragons in an instant!
Then, Kizaru pulled with both hands, drawing out a slender lightsaber!
"The Kusanagi Sword!"
"Metaphor"
He raised his longsword and swung it fiercely at the water dragon below!
"Clang!"
"boom!!"
With a single strike, it actually shattered several water dragons!
The seawater, having been defeated by Kizaru, seemed to lose its power and rushed in all directions, turning into countless water droplets!
"Splash!"
Xi Yan, his head drenched in seawater, frowned as he looked at the Heavenly Cloud Sword in Huang Yuan's hand.
"You're actually a swordsman?"
That wasn't a laser attack, it was a swordsman's flying slash!
This was indeed somewhat unexpected for west Yan.
"Whoosh~"
"Click~"
Kizaru, who landed steadily on the rock, said with a faint smile, "Is there anything strange about the fact that I am a swordsman?"
Although Zephyr often said that he was someone who relied on Devil Fruit abilities, ... after so many years of training, he no longer has any weaknesses!
Even if he only uses swordsmanship, his strength is still considerable!
"Yes, that's true."
west Yan nodded, without refuting the other party.
Ultimately, the other party is also the Navy Headquarters' top combat force, a figure known as a monster, so it's normal for him to know swordsmanship.
"Kid, right now... you don't have any tricks up your sleeve yet?"
Looking at Xiyan with water droplets on his face, Kizaru chuckled and said, "If there are any, I wouldn't mind playing with you a little longer."
The methods of ninjas are quite interesting, but I wonder if there are any even more interesting ones.
Kizaru's effortless demeanor annoyed west Yan.
"Releasing such a high-intensity laser attack must have taken a toll on you."
"Don't underestimate a Marine Admiral, kid!" Kizaru said. "This old man... can fight you for days and nights!"
"Of course, that's assuming you have the ability."
"Tch, is their stamina monstrous too...?"

west Yan took a sip; it seemed unlikely that he could wear down his opponent.
but..
"So much time has passed, Luffy and the others should be almost there by now," west Yan murmured to himself.
As long as they reach Xia Qi, even if he can't beat this guy, his life won't be in danger.
After all... Kizaru's initial statement was that he wanted to capture him alive!
"Not going to continue the attack?" Kizaru tilted his head and said, "Then I'll make my move."
First, break the brat's limbs; that will also calm him down completely.
"Then let's give it a try!"
"bump!"
As soon as west Yan finished speaking, the ground beside Kizaru suddenly exploded, and west Yan's shadow clone rushed out from underground at an extremely fast speed, throwing a punch at Kizaru!
"As I said, sneak attacks are useless against me."
"That's not necessarily true!"
"Earth Release: Iwate Technique!"
"Bang!"
An arm made of rock burst forth from the ground and grabbed Kizaru in one swift motion.
The next moment...
"bump!"
The clone's fist, imbued with Haki, struck Kizaru squarely in the face.
"Um?"
Seeing this, west Yan himself was stunned for a moment.
Did it actually hit?
Isn't this guy supposed to be Hikari? Why does he sometimes seem... a bit slow?
"What an impolite brat."
"Clang!"
A flash of golden light, and the rocky hand that was grabbing Kizaru shattered instantly!
The rushing out Kizaru arrived in front of Xiyan almost instantly, raising the Heavenly Cloud Sword and pointing it directly at Xiyan's face.
"you..
"stop!!"
"Um?"
Kizaru, who was interrupted, was stunned. Who would dare to come here and join in the fun at a time like this?
Thinking of this, Kizaru immediately turned around to look.
"Looking at this unfamiliar woman, Kizaru frowned."
Who is she?
"Galette?!"
west Yan stared at Jia Lei Te in disbelief. Why was she here?
Didn't she see the admiral?
Or perhaps...: Is this also her first time meeting a Marine Admiral, just like me?
"Oh~"
"Oh, we know each other!"
Kizaru said, "So...she's a pirate too?"
If this woman is also a pirate, he wouldn't mind capturing her as well.
"That's right, I'm a pirate," Galette readily admitted.
west Yan: ? ? ?
"Galette, you idiot!!" west Yan exclaimed, dumbfounded. "Don't you recognize him?"
What's wrong with this guy admitting he's a pirate in front of a Marine Admiral?
"They're pirates, that makes things easier."
Kizaru nodded, then glanced at Xiyan and said, "This person seems to be your friend... In that case, why don't you two keep each other company!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow light flashed around Kizaru's body, making it look as if he was about to rush over and attack Galette.
"Idiot, run!"
"How could I possibly abandon you and run away?" Garrett said. "I came here specifically to rescue you!"
After saying that, Garette glanced at Kizaru who had come up in front of her and said, "Kizaru, my name is Charlotte Garette, and I am a member of the Big Mom Pirates. Think carefully before you mess with me."
"Um?"
Kizaru, who was about to use a light-speed kick to send Galette flying, immediately stopped.
"The Big Mom Pirates...:..." Kizaru scratched his head and said, "Are they members of one of the Four Emperors?"
"Really... wow~"
Charlotte... ...That is indeed that woman's surname, so this guy is that woman's daughter.
Well... we really can't touch this guy.
Even if he is a Marine Admiral, he cannot take the initiative to attack one of the Four Emperors without permission.
Moreover, the navy is currently in a very sensitive period!
If we were to provoke one of the Four Emperors at this point... then the Marine Headquarters would truly be doomed.
If Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin team up, they can definitely wipe out their Marine Headquarters.
Thinking of this, Kizaru lowered his long legs.
This also relieved Garrett.
"So the Four Emperors are this powerful?"
west Yan looked at Kizaru with some surprise. He really didn't expect that Kizaru could be intimidated by Garette's mother's name.
"Kid, don't talk like I'm afraid of the Four Emperors," Kizaru said irritably. "It's just that I didn't get permission."
If a fight really broke out, he believed he wouldn't lose to those guys.
He was quite confident in his abilities.
"That's because I'm afraid," west Yan said, pursing his lips.
Kizaru: ....
I suddenly really want to beat this brat to a pulp!!
Thinking of this, Kizaru's eyes immediately turned hostile.
west Yan: ? ? ?
west Yan looked at Kizaru with surprise. So this guy cared about this kind of thing?
"Kizaru, you can't touch him!"
"Um?"
"Why can't I touch him?"
Kizaru glanced at Galette and said, "Don't think you can be so arrogant in front of me just because you're that woman's daughter!"
We can't touch him yet... This little girl probably thinks that the title of one of the Four Emperors means she can do whatever she wants!
Forget it, I can't be bothered with this guy. I'd better just take this brat away quickly.
At that moment, Garrett said without hesitation, "Because he is my man!"
Kizaru: ? ? ?
Kizaru, who was just about to attack Xiyan, suddenly knelt down.
Then, looking at Garrett in disbelief, he said, "What did you say?"
"I said, he's my man!"
Kizaru: .....
Wait, is this kid actually a member of one of the Four Emperors' crews?
So what was his motivation for joining the Straw Hat Pirates?
Could it be... that it's to get closer to Straw Hat Luffy?
But what is the other party's purpose in doing this?
He didn't understand.
Looking at the silent Kizaru, Galette grinned and said, "He is my husband and a member of the Charlotte family, so... you can't touch him."
"To harm him is to declare war on us!"
"You...you'd better think this through, Admiral!!"
Kizaru's silence gave Galette hope.
This time... maybe we really can take Xiyan away completely!
Seeing Galette's smiling face, Kizaru suddenly laughed.
Then, he glanced at west Yan and said, "Ninja brat, are you really the son-in-law of the Charlotte family?"
"Does that mean... you betrayed the Straw Hat Pirates?"
west Yan didn't answer Kizaru's question, but instead glanced at Galette.
He noticed that the woman was frantically giving him meaningful glances, as if to say: "Agree first, and we'll talk about the rest later!"
west Yan paused for a moment, then smiled at Jia Leite. This smile sent a chill down Jia Leite's spine.
Could it be...?
"Galeette, I appreciate your kindness," west Yan said, "but I cannot betray the Straw Hat Pirates."
"Oh~"
"So it was fake after all~" Kizaru said with great interest.
He really saw something interesting. When Charlotte Linlin's daughter said those words, her expression didn't seem fake, which meant... she really did consider him her husband.
Does this mean that Charlotte Garrett came on Charlotte Linlin's orders?
That's really... interesting!
"Thinking about it carefully, that woman does have a habit of finding men for herself or recruiting sons-in-law," Kizaru thought to himself.
If that's the case, then that woman also coveted the bloodline of the Blood-Eyed Ninja.
That's true. Who wouldn't want a ninja who has mastered Water Release techniques?
Even the navy is quite interested in this kid.
"You idiot!" Garrett said, somewhat exasperated. "Even if you're going to reject me, you should consider the timing!!"
What's wrong with agreeing first?!
Surviving the admiral's clutches is the most important thing, isn't it?!
We can discuss other things with her later!
Even if she really doesn't go with her, she'll accept it.
But at the very least... we have to survive first!
That idiot!
"Pfft, this little girl is right, it would be better if you agreed first~" Kizaru said with a smile.
"Stop talking like that." west Yan glanced at Kizaru and said, "You never intended to let me go from the beginning, did you?"
"Oh~"
"You've been seen through~"
Kizaru asked with great interest, "How did you discover that?"
He really had no intention of letting this guy go, after all... this guy killed three Celestial Dragons, and was someone the Five Elders specifically wanted to capture alive!
In that case, even if the other party is Charlotte Linlin's son-in-law, he still has to take him away!
In the end... he's not Charlotte Linlin's blood relative. Garette was stunned after hearing their conversation. So... Kizaru has been wanting her all along?
"Is there even a need to think about that?" west Yanpi chuckled and said, "I killed three Celestial Dragons. If the World Government lets me off so easily, you'll lose all face."
"Moreover, the World Government is very interested in my abilities."
Given these preconditions, even if he were truly the son-in-law of one of the Four Emperors, the World Government might not necessarily let him go.
"That's right." Kizaru nodded directly and said, "I have to take this kid with me, and no one can change that."
After saying that, Kizaru paused for a moment, then looked at Galette and said, "Little girl, you'd better leave before I change my mind."
"Otherwise... I wouldn't mind taking you all with me."
If he could, he wouldn't want to lay a hand on Charlotte Linlin's daughter.
Because...that's too much trouble!
Garrett did not answer, but remained silent.
After a moment, he said, "I see. It seems that relying on Mother's name won't be enough to take Xiyan away."
Kizaru simply smiled and didn't say anything.
"If that's the case..."
,
As Galette spoke, she walked step by step towards Xi Yan. Once she stood beside him, she turned to look at Kizaru and continued, "Then take me down too!"
Kizaru: ? ? ?
west Yan: !!!
Kizaru looked at Galette with a puzzled expression. Wasn't his explanation clear enough?
Does the other party really think I wouldn't dare to make a move?
If a member of one of the Four Emperors were to challenge his Marine Admiral, he... wouldn't mind beating them half to death!
west Yan stared at Jia Lei Te in shock, never expecting her to say such a thing.
Is this a plan... to live and die with me?
"Hey, you idiot, what nonsense are you spouting?" west Yan said, "Let's get going! The Admiral isn't joking!"
Garette isn't even as strong as him!
A monster like Kizaru fighting her... would probably be like fighting a Supernova—one kick and the battle would be over.
He certainly didn't want this woman to die here.
"I'm not talking nonsense!"
"We've only known each other for a short time, and you already want to live and die with me?"
"So what?" Garrett said seriously, "Once I, Garrett, have made up my mind about you, there's no way I'll change it."
"I can't bear to watch the husband I've chosen die here!"
If west Yan really dies in battle, her mother might marry her off to someone else.
However, Galette, who had already decided on Xiyan, could not accept such a proposal.
At that time... there's a chance I might get killed by my angry mother.
Since that's the case... let's give it our all!
If she were to die here alongside west Yan, she would have no regrets.
Seeing Garrett's serious expression, west Yan felt he was deeply moved.
This woman actually...
"Oh~"
"You've really put on an interesting melodramatic show~" Kizaru said with a smile. "But you two, I don't have much time to play along with your act here."
"If you don't leave, I'll get physical!"
"Click~"
Garrett's face immediately contorted with rage, and a round butter ring instantly appeared in her hand.
Then, she glared angrily at Kizaru and said, "Do you think I'm acting?"
"You bastard, don't underestimate my resolve!!"
"Whoosh~"
Having already made up her mind, Galette attacked Kizaru without hesitation!
The butter ring, spinning in the air, flew towards Kizaru at an extremely fast speed and finally landed in his hand.
Seeing this, Garrett was immediately overjoyed.
Once you're caught in her butter ring, you're at her mercy!
"We've got him, Xiyan, quick...!"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Kizaru raise his hand, take the butter ring off, and then toss it aside like trash.
Shgarette's pupils contracted. Was her Devil Fruit ability really that insignificant in front of a Marine Admiral?
Can't you even control it for a second?
Are naval admirals really that terrifying?
"They've made their move..."
Kizaru's smile faded as he said, "Then... I will take this as a provocation!!"
"Little Charlotte, are you... ready?"
Since the other party has already made a move against him, he doesn't need to be polite anymore.
As a Marine Admiral, facing a member of one of the Four Emperors' crews who challenged him...: He has the right to retaliate!!
With that thought in mind, Kizaru raised his hand without hesitation and condensed a laser in it.
"Laser beam!"
"Whoosh~"
"boom!!"
