One Piece: I, a scum of the navy, became an admiral Chapter 195

“Why haven’t I seen Allen?!”

As the voice fell, countless light particles suddenly condensed into a human form at the bow of the ship.

In just a moment, a Marine wearing a Marine Justice coat and sunglasses appeared before everyone.

Hearing the voice behind him, the Marine Lieutenant Commander quickly turned his head.

Seeing the newcomer’s appearance, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, and he asked in disbelief:

“Vice Admiral Borsalino, why are you here?!”

Looking at Borsalino, who had appeared out of thin air, the Marine Colonel quickly stepped forward and respectfully saluted.

“Did Fleet Admiral Sengoku send you to carry out the rescue?”

Borsalino nodded, looking around at the somewhat damaged warship.

“It seems that the warship has also experienced a battle…”

Then Borsalino looked at the Marine Lieutenant Commander and continued to ask:

“Where’s Allen? Why haven’t I seen him?”

The Marine Lieutenant Commander quickly replied:

“Vice Admiral Allen and Mr. Mihawk are holding back “Hundred Beast” Kaido, allowing us to evacuate first.”

Borsalino sighed helplessly upon hearing this, spreading his hands.

“Sigh~ I thought Allen had safely evacuated, and I could continue my peaceful vacation~”

“As expected, it’s a worker’s life!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Borsalino had already transformed into a golden beam of light, shooting towards Wano Country.

“…He is?!” The somewhat uneasy Kozuki Toki slowly asked.

The Marine Lieutenant Commander explained: “He, like Vice Admiral Allen, is a ‘Fleet Admiral Candidate’ from Marine Headquarters, and also a monstrous existence!”

When the Marine Lieutenant Commander said this, he carried the same reverence for Allen.

After all, if nothing unexpected happened, the other party would definitely become the highest combat power in Marine Headquarters.

“Don’t worry, Madam Toki, with Vice Admiral Borsalino going to support, Vice Admiral Allen will be fine!”

Kozuki Toki’s hanging heart slightly relaxed upon hearing this.

But she still clasped her hands tightly, looking in the direction of Wano Country, and whispered softly.

“Allen, please don’t let anything happen to you…”

On the other side, Wano Country, unknown island.

The island, turned into scorched earth, was already shattered and in ruins.

Charred tree stumps emitted wisps of smoke, giving off a pungent burnt smell.

The island was impacted by immense energy, creating bottomless ravines, and the ground was twisted and deformed, its original topography long gone.

On the sea, a tsunami tens of meters high surged, furiously pounding the coast, stirring up a spray of water.

Potholes and hideous cracks were visible everywhere, all telling of the brutality of this battle.

With a dull “boom,” a thick spiked club slammed onto the scorched earth, sending debris flying.

Kaido leaned on his spiked club, panting heavily, his voice weary but still majestic.

His mountain-like body was covered in large and small hideous wounds, which even his Devil Fruit and racial talent’s recovery ability struggled to heal.

“I didn’t expect you two to force me to this extent. I… I really underestimated you!”

Across from Kaido, Allen and Mihawk were in no better condition. Several of their ribs were broken, and their bodies were covered in reddish-purple bruises.

In the beginning, their fight could rely on Observation Haki and Armament Haki, but as the battle progressed, physical fatigue made it impossible to sustain the use of Haki.

Mihawk stuck “Yoru” into the ground, his body weight resting on the blade.

His breathing became rapid and heavy, but his sharp eyes still stared at Kaido without the slightest slack.

“Kaido, continuing this fight won’t yield any results!” Allen shouted, enduring the pain in his body.

“It’s better for everyone if we leave now!!”

Kaido wavered upon hearing Allen’s words.

To be honest, with his current state, he couldn’t guarantee that he could take down the other party.

If he hadn’t taken Allen’s “Blazing Hell” head-on, Kaido wouldn’t have been afraid of a prolonged battle, but now his body felt like it was constantly being scorched by flames, severely reducing his recovery rate.

But how could Kaido be willing to just go back?

Thinking this, Kaido suddenly remembered something.

“Damn it, I came out this time to save Queen!”

“I got too engrossed in the fight and forgot…”

Queen: Thank you, Mr. Kaido, you finally remembered me after so long…

Then Kaido suddenly looked up, his eyes fiercely fixed on Allen.

“Marine brat, as long as you hand over Queen, I’ll let you off this time!!”

What do you mean, you’ll let me off?!

Now everyone is low on health, and we still have two people on our side. Do you think you can gain an advantage?!

But then again, continuing the fight was not a wise choice.

Just as Allen was about to agree to Kaido’s terms.

“Oh my, it’s so scary, to have beaten this island into such a state…”

Hearing this lazy voice, Allen couldn’t help but smirk, and said to Kaido:

“You’re Kaido, right? Now, I’m sorry, but the offense and defense have switched!”

In just a moment, countless light particles gathered beside Allen, forming Borsalino’s figure.

He slowly surveyed the surrounding environment, finally fixing his gaze on Kaido.

“Oh my, it’s so scary, this is the legendary great pirate Kaido!” he said with a hint of mockery in his tone.

Kaido frowned upon seeing the newcomer, his expression becoming exceptionally grim.

“‘Kizaru’ Borsalino, I didn’t expect your Marine reinforcements to arrive so quickly!!”

Borsalino had been a well-known Marine Admiral for a long time, so Kaido naturally recognized him.

If he still had a chance to win just now, with Borsalino’s appearance, if he wanted to continue fighting, the outcome might be very bad.

Borsalino scratched his ear with his pinky finger, his voice lazy as he said:

“I don’t want to either, but the higher-ups just paid me, and it wouldn’t be right not to do some work.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Borsalino had already elementalized, transforming into a golden light and shooting towards Kaido.

Instantly, he appeared in front of Kaido, his right leg raised high, shimmering with dazzling golden light.

“Kaido, have you ever been kicked by light?”

“What?!” Kaido exclaimed.

The next second.

A leg shimmering with golden light kicked directly at Kaido.

“—Light Speed Kick!”

Kaido immediately felt as if a warship had crashed into him.

“Hmph!” Kaido grunted, surprisingly enduring the blow.

Seeing this, Borsalino maintained his posture and couldn’t help but rub his chin.

“He really is a monster, that move didn’t cause any damage~”

Kaido gritted his teeth, his large hand coated in Armament Haki, and smashed it towards Borsalino.

Just as it was about to hit Borsalino, he had already elementalized, transforming into light particles…
