"A bunch of petty pirates, do you think you can laugh at me, a dignified Marine Admiral?" Kizaru said with a serious expression, and immediately transformed into a flash of light, appearing behind Yasopp in an instant.
"Have you ever been kicked by light?" Kizaru said casually in Yasopp's ear, raising his right leg and turning it into a flash of light, about to kick Yasopp away.
Upon seeing this, Yasopp immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He was originally a long-range sniper, and his close combat ability wasn't particularly good. If he were kicked, he would be rendered unable to fight. Kizaru really knew how to pick on the weak.
"Bang!"
Just as Kizaru kicked out, Tianqi grabbed his foot with even greater speed. Seeing the captain help him, Yasopp quickly gave way.
"You dare to attack me right in front of me? Kizaru, you're really taking me less and less seriously!" Tianqi disdainfully flicked his hand, sending Kizaru's leg flying. Although Kizaru was known as the Flash Man, he was only fast at most; he didn't actually reach the speed of light.
If Kizaru really had the speed of light, he would be invincible long ago. How could he still be an admiral in the Navy? He would probably have floated into the sky by now.
Seeing Uchiha Tenki's disdainful gaze, Kizaru completely abandoned his contempt. The speed that Tenki unleashed in that instant was no less than his own. Kizaru was both angry and helpless. With Uchiha Tenki being so powerful, it would be difficult for him to take revenge.
"Captain, you don't need to personally deal with Kizaru. Let me teach him a lesson!" Shanks adjusted his hat and grabbed the sword at his waist. This act of attacking Yasopp had already enraged him.
"Shanks, step aside. As a newcomer, I need to make some achievements too!" With that, Ryoma Nagata slowly stepped forward. As a powerful samurai, he was not afraid of people with Devil Fruits at all. In his view, Devil Fruits were just external forces, and he had the utmost contempt for people who used tricks to increase their strength.
Seeing Shanks and Ryuma fighting over him, Kizaru's face darkened completely. When did he become so weak that pirates were fighting over him? It was one thing for Shanks to be a rising star among pirates, but for this samurai-dressed guy to dare to jump out was simply outrageous.
"Aaaaah... you despicable pirates, die!" Kizaru roared, leaping into the air and pointing his index finger at Tian Qi and the others, a golden flash shooting out.
"You despicable villain, how dare you launch a sneak attack!" Seeing the golden light attack already upon him, Ryoma was furious. He had truly misjudged the supposedly righteous Marines to be so despicable.
"Shameless!" Tian Qi cursed under his breath, then unleashed a sword aura that instantly shattered Kizaru's golden attack.
"Huh? How could this be!" Seeing his attack so easily thwarted, Kizaru's eyes widened, and the feeling of invincibility he had felt six years ago returned.
"It's been years since I last saw you, and you dare to dance in front of me? It seems it's time to teach you the consequences of offending me!" Tian Qi instantly activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, his Armament Haki covering his right leg. He activated Kamui and vanished instantly, appearing behind Kizaru. He then kicked him directly.
"Bang!" Admiral Kizaru, known as the Flash Man, was kicked away by Tian Qi at an even faster speed and crashed into the oncoming warship.
"What kind of generals are they? They're worthless to me! Brothers, charge up and kill these despicable bastards!" Tian Qi shouted and took the lead in rushing onto the nearest warship.
"The captain is right. Our Conquer Pirates are not afraid of these hypocritical marines. Brothers, follow me!" Shanks, as the vice-captain, was the first to jump onto the warship, followed closely by Beckman, Ryūta Ryūma, and others.
The marines on the warship watched as Tian Qi boarded the ship, while Admiral Kizaru was knocked to the ground. They were all in a panic. As Shanks and other great pirates followed, these ordinary marines dared not act rashly.
"I never thought that after all these years of hard work, I would still be slower than you. It's ridiculous!" Seeing Uchiha Tenchi glare at the warship, Kizaru knew that he was no match for him.
"Heh, it's too late to realize this now!" Tian Qi chuckled coldly and raised his hand to manipulate the power of time.
"Time Imprisonment!" The power of time instantly imprisoned Kizaru in place. Kizaru, who had wanted to resist, found himself unable to move and was filled with terror. When he tried to say something, he found that he could not open his mouth either, and could only stare blankly.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you so easily. I'll deal with you two together after I catch Akainu!" Tianqi said to the stunned Kizaru with a disdainful look.
It has to be said that these marines were really not tough. Apart from a few marines who tried to resist being killed, the rest surrendered without resistance. With the admiral under their control, their resistance was meaningless. They might as well lay down their weapons and save their lives. Tian Qi did not kill these surrendered marines. Since they knew what was good for them, he was too lazy to waste time on them.
After subduing the Marines, Tianqi suddenly came up with a fun idea. He activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and appeared in front of Kizaru. Staring into Kizaru's eyes, he launched a powerful genjutsu. As Kizaru's eyes emptied, Tianqi also released the time restraint.
"Get up, Kizaru!" As Tianqi called out, Kizaru slowly rose and stood beside Tianqi with a blank look in his eyes.
Shanks, Ryoma, and the others were all puzzled. They couldn't understand why Kizaru, who had been so arrogant before, was suddenly so obedient to Tianqi.
Then Tianqi directly ordered the marines to set sail towards Akainu's warships, which were fiercely attacking Amazon Lily. Shanks and the other marines just watched Kizaru, not knowing what he meant.
"Come on, Kizaru, let Akainu taste your power!" Tianqi said arrogantly, his hands outstretched. Today, he wanted to see what Akainu's own men's attacks were like.
"Laser Beam!" Kizaru raised his finger and fired a golden beam directly at the warship in front of him.
"Bang! Bang!..."
Seeing Kizaru attack the Navy's warship, everyone was even more dumbfounded. A Navy admiral attacking a Navy warship was simply too fantastical. Was Kizaru out of his mind?
Akainu watched as a warship was destroyed, and he was very familiar with that ability: as soon as the marines fell into the water, some Sea Kings appeared and ate several marines in one bite.
"A bunch of beasts, get out of my way!" Akainu unleashed a magma fist that instantly killed the Sea King. He was furious; Kizaru dared to attack a warship, and he wanted to see what was going on.
When Akainu returned, he saw the warship that had gone to destroy the pirate ship earlier sailing over. Kizaru was standing on the deck, gathering golden light in his hand in preparation to attack the warship, which was his own. Akainu initially thought he was seeing things, but when the golden light was launched, he realized that he was not mistaken.
"Damn it, has Kizaru betrayed us? Attacking a warship is suicide! Lava Spray!" Seeing this, Akainu didn't hesitate any longer and unleashed a magma attack that collided with Kizaru's golden light.
"Bang!"
"Kizaru, you actually attacked a warship! Are you trying to betray... Uchiha Tenki!" Just as Akainu was about to berate Kizaru, he suddenly saw Uchiha Tenki and Shanks and other members of the Conqueror Pirates.
"Akainu, you Marines have really grown bold, haven't you? Daring to attack my crew!" Tianqi said, looking at Akainu with a gloomy expression.
"Hmph! The Amazon Lily isn't your territory. It's none of your business where the Navy attacks. What happened to Kizaru? What did you do to him?" Looking at Kizaru's empty eyes, Akainu roughly guessed that attacking the warship was probably not his intention. Although Kizaru was a bit slippery, it was unlikely that he would betray the Navy.
"From today onwards, Amazon Lily and the entire Amazon Island belong to my Conquest Pirates. Anyone who dares to attack here is going against me!" After declaring Amazon Lily his territory, Tianqi patted Kizaru on the shoulder and said, "As for Kizaru, he said he really wants to have a contest with you to see who is the strongest Marine Admiral!"
"Hmph! You think I'd believe that nonsense!" Akainu didn't believe a single word Uchiha Tenki said. He knew Kizaru better than anyone, and if they wanted to have a match, they could have gone back to the training grounds at headquarters. Why would he jump out to fight at this crucial moment? There was definitely something fishy going on.
"Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant; what matters is that Kizaru is here!" As soon as Tian Qi finished speaking, Kizaru transformed into a golden light and charged towards Akainu, and the two Marine Admirals instantly clashed.
"Kizaru! What are you doing? Do you know how serious the consequences are of helping the Conqueror Pirates fight against the Navy? Kizaru! Kizaru!" Akainu kept calling Kizaru's name while fighting, but Kizaru ignored him and just kept fighting.
"Captain, what's going on? Why did Kizaru suddenly switch sides with us?" Shanks finally voiced his doubts, while Ryoma and the others waited with curiosity for Tianqi's explanation.
Upon hearing this, Tian Qi's lips curled up slightly, and he explained calmly, "Kizaru didn't defect; he was controlled by my illusion technique!"
"Illusion? What kind of ability is that?" Ryoma Nagata asked, puzzled.
"Illusion is an ability that targets the enemy's five senses to induce illusions. I can manipulate the flow of energy in the enemy's brain at will, which means that Kizaru is actually fighting Akainu against his will!" Tianqi explained to Ryoma Nagata calmly as he watched the two fighting.
