Chapter 166 Durant raises his hand to suppress Kizaru (Ch 166)

Fujitora concentrated on mobilizing his powerful Observation Haki, which spread out in all directions like an invisible net.

He closed his eyes tightly and concentrated on sensing all the movements around him, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not catch any trace of Durant’s figure or breath.

Not only that, he didn’t even notice any signs of anyone else’s presence.

After a moment, Fujitora slowly opened his eyes and said to Sengoku with a serious look: “Mr. Sengoku, after my careful investigation, I can confirm that there is no trace of Durant and his companions in this area.”

“This place seems like a dead place, without any breath of life. Perhaps they have already left here, or they are hiding so cleverly that even my Observation Haki can hardly find them. But in any case, it seems that we need to further expand the search range to find their whereabouts.”

After saying that, Fujitora closed his eyes again and continued to extend his Observation Haki outwards, hoping to gain something.

“That’s good, let’s keep moving forward at full speed!” After hearing that there was no ambush set by Durant and other enemies ahead, Zhan Guo immediately issued an order, requiring all personnel to maintain the highest speed and advance forward.

At this moment, they had no idea what the future island was like. Because of this, they had to rush to their destination as fast as possible to get to know the real situation at the first time.

However, the three generals, Sengoku, Fujitora and Kizaru, did not know the reason: Fujitora failed to detect the trace of Durant and his companions’ breath because Durant used some mysterious means to completely conceal their breath, making it difficult for Fujitora to detect it with his own keen perception.

Not only that, even all the information about the entire Future Island has been firmly blocked by Durant. It was this move that caused the naval forces led by them to completely lose all channels of communication with the Future Island, and fell into an isolated and helpless situation.

At the same time, Durant, who was hiding in the sky, slowly opened his deep and sharp eyes like a giant beast that had been sleeping for a long time, and said in a low voice: “The navy has entered the established range.”

“Finally here!” Rain Shiryu’s face instantly blossomed with an irrepressible excitement, his eyes flashing with fanaticism, as if he saw a group of lambs to be slaughtered. He couldn’t wait to say: “If we can annihilate all the navy that came this time in one fell swoop, then even a powerful navy headquarters will probably suffer heavy losses, or even be seriously injured!”

Hancock on the side raised the corners of her mouth slightly, outlining a charming arc. Her beautiful face was full of confidence and expectation at the moment, and she seemed to be confident about the upcoming battle.

However, Sengoku, Fujitora, and Kizaru, who were all capable of fighting at the level of admirals, were the first to keenly sense the terrifying aura that spread in the sky. This aura was like an invisible mountain pressing down on one’s heart, making it hard to breathe.

In contrast, the ordinary naval soldiers were completely unaware and were still immersed in a tense state of preparation for battle, unaware that danger was quietly approaching.

Yellow Monkey widened his eyes, staring at the sky above his head, his body shaking uncontrollably, his voice filled with fear and despair: “It’s over… It’s over, we have been secretly targeted by Durant for a long time, maybe this is a carefully planned conspiracy, specially used to deal with us, the naval reinforcements!”

In fact, it is not unreasonable for Kizaru to be so worried. After all, with his always cautious character, he would naturally consider the worst case scenario.

Moreover, if the situation really develops to a point where it is irreversible, in order to save his own life, he might really abandon Sengoku and Fujitora without hesitation and choose to escape alone.

Durant’s eyes were as cold as ice, staring at Sengoku, Kizaru and Fujitora without any ripples. His voice was as cold and calm as if it came from the Netherworld:

“So it’s you three! I’ve gained something by forcing you into such a desperate situation. However, since you are at the end of your rope, do you have any last words to say?”

“You bastard! Durant, what on earth do you want to do? Aren’t you afraid that the world government will use all its strength to completely wipe you out?” Zhan Guo was furious and shouted at Durant.

With his extremely sharp observation Haki, Fujitora clearly felt that Durant was like an unfathomable, heart-pounding bottomless black hole. A chill instantly surged up his spine, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead involuntarily. He lowered his voice and muttered to himself:

“I didn’t expect… Durant’s current strength has reached such a terrifying level! It’s really beyond our reach. I’m afraid there’s really no escape this time.”

“Oh my! This is so scary! Brother Fujitora, I haven’t enjoyed life enough, and I don’t want to go to see the King of Hell so early!” Seeing this, Kizaru’s face suddenly changed, and then he put on an extremely obscene look, quickly raised his hands and shouted loudly.

Sengoku was already used to Kizaru’s absurd behavior, so he naturally had no reaction. As he was blind, Fujitora could not see Kizaru’s ridiculous expression, so he was not moved at all.

Just like that, Kizaru’s performance became completely for his own entertainment, leaving only embarrassment and silence.

Luo Chen ordered with a firm look in his eyes: “Rain Xilu, it’s up to you to entangle Fujitora from now on; Hancock, you are responsible for restraining Sengoku. As for me, I will take the lead in solving the troublesome Kizaru!”

“Yes, Captain Durant!” Hancock and Shiliu of the Rain answered in unison and respectfully.

Durant made such an arrangement, in fact, he had far-reaching considerations. He knew very well that if Kizaru, who possessed the power of the Shining Fruit, was allowed to escape with all his strength, then even someone as strong as himself would probably have to go through a lot of trouble and find it difficult. After all, that was a powerful ability that could teleport instantly!

“Be careful, they are approaching!” Fujitora in the navy camp immediately and loudly warned.

Just as Fujitora’s words hadn’t completely fallen, a terrifying Domineering Aura suddenly swept over like a raging sea, sweeping across the three warships with overwhelming force. In an instant, all the navy soldiers on the warships fainted as if they had been hit hard.

However, only three battle-hardened warriors, Sengoku, Fujitora and Kizaru, were able to barely withstand the fierce attack of Durant’s domineering aura with their tenacious will and outstanding strength.

Fujitora was filled with astonishment, and he muttered to himself in disbelief, “This… just what kind of terrifying Domineering Haki is this? Even I, a great general, can’t help but feel fear and panic at this moment.”

The faces of Sengoku and Kizaru were equally ugly, with cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.

Rain Shiryu and Hancock rushed forward without hesitation and restrained Fujitora and Sengoku respectively.

At the same time, Kizaru, who was hit hard, was suddenly knocked away like a cannonball.

His body flew backwards rapidly in the air, and after several hundred meters, he finally managed to stabilize his body with difficulty. However, at this moment, he only felt that his abdomen was churning like a surging ocean, and the indescribable pain almost made Kizaru faint.

For Kizaru, this was definitely a unprecedented time – he only took one attack from the enemy and instantly fell into the predicament of serious internal injuries.

Facing such a terrifying opponent, Kizaru knew that staying any longer would be tantamount to seeking his own death. Especially when he realized that he had become Durant’s main target, his heart was filled with endless fear.

There was no doubt that if he could not escape from this place as soon as possible, he would be doomed. At this moment, escape had become his only hope of survival.

The fear in Kizaru’s heart became more and more intense, so that he had no time to care about the safety of Sengoku and Fujitora. In his eyes, once they were locked by Durant, Sengoku and Fujitora would have no chance of survival.

In this case, Kizaru thought that preserving his own life was the most important thing. So, without hesitation, he gathered all his strength into one point, transformed into a dazzling stream of light, and rushed towards the distance.

It was as if there was a ferocious beast chasing him from behind, and Kizaru tried his best to get rid of the deadly threat.

Yellow Monkey stared at Durant’s unusually calm face, and a deep feeling of helplessness surged in his heart. He shook his head gently and sighed, “I never thought that I, a general with the highest combat power in the Navy Headquarters, would fall into such an embarrassing situation. Even wanting to escape has become a luxury, and I have been given such an ignominious name.”

“Kizaru, there are only two choices before you. Either you commit suicide, or I will send you off myself.” Durant’s tone was so calm from beginning to end, as if he was stating something very ordinary.

When Huang Yuan heard this, his face, which originally looked somewhat wretched, froze instantly, almost turning into an expressionless face. He gritted his teeth and responded firmly: “Humph, how can I sit and wait for death so easily! No matter what, I will do my best to win that glimmer of hope!”

“Oh? Is it really like that?” Durant’s body floating in the air moved slightly, and he slowly raised one arm and pointed it straight at Kizaru.

Kizaru widened his eyes, staring at Durant’s every move, secretly wondering what the other party was intending to do.

Could it be that he could defeat himself just by raising his arm? What a joke! Kizaru would not believe such a ridiculous statement. He concluded that Durant must be secretly planning some sinister and cunning conspiracy.

“Dark water!” As Durant uttered in a low voice, a strange and powerful dark force suddenly emerged.

The yellow ape, which was originally shining with golden light and moving freely, suddenly lost control of its shining body and rushed towards Durant involuntarily like a kite with a broken string.

“What! What is going on?” Kizaru’s face was full of astonishment and fear. He tried desperately to use the ability of his Pika Pika Nomi to break free from this mysterious restraint.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not resist the huge suction force that seemed to come from the bottomless abyss. This feeling of powerlessness made Kizaru feel unprecedented despair and panic.

In a flash, Kizaru’s shoulder fell into Durant’s strong and powerful grip. At this moment, Kizaru suddenly realized that the ability of the Shining Fruit that he had always been proud of disappeared without a trace!

He stared with eyes wide open, looking at the seemingly ordinary man in front of him in disbelief, and muttered in a trembling voice: “The ability of my Pikachu Fruit is actually…”

However, before Kizaru could finish his words, Durant threw a punch without hesitation.

What was shocking was that this punch quickly transformed into a hot lava fist in mid-air, piercing through Kizaru’s abdomen with a devastating force. The whole process was as fast as lightning, leaving Kizaru no room for resistance or struggle.

Kizaru’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, staring at Durant, his voice trembling with extreme shock: “You…how could you possess the abilities of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Magma Fruit at the same time? This is simply unbelievable!”

There was a storm in his heart, as if he saw an unprecedented monster standing in front of him.

“Could it be… Could it be…” An extremely terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Kizaru’s mind. This thought made him shiver all over, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He realized that if Durant could really successfully master these two powerful devil fruit abilities, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the entire navy and even the world government.

Kizaru is well aware of the devouring properties of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the destructive power of the Magma Fruit. If the two are combined, the power will definitely be beyond imagination.

By then, I am afraid that no force will be able to contend with it, and the Navy and the World Government will also be on the road to destruction. When he thought of this, Kizaru couldn’t help but feel a deep fear and powerlessness in his heart.

Durant’s mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes revealed a hint of confidence and greed, and he slowly said: “Okay, Kizaru, your ability of the Pika Pika Nomi will be mine from now on!” His voice seemed to carry an irresistible magic, which made people shudder.

Hearing these words, Kizaru’s originally bright eyes instantly became dim, as if he had lost all vitality and hope.

He raised his head with difficulty, looked at the smug Durant in front of him, and responded in a trembling voice: “I had expected this day to come… It seems that our navy has been defeated this time and there is no recovery!” His words were full of despair and helplessness.

In fact, all of this is under Durant’s control. This action is undoubtedly a conspiracy he carefully planned, the purpose of which is to lure these powerful navy out of their holes and take away their devil fruit abilities.

After all, as admirals of the Navy Headquarters, their own devil fruit abilities are the pinnacle of devil fruit. Once they are successfully absorbed by Durant, the consequences will be disastrous.

As time goes by, if Durant can continue to acquire more devil fruit abilities, then no one in the world will be able to compete with him.

By then, he will become a truly invincible existence, dominating this vast world. And those who have tried to resist him can only tremble in fear and despair, waiting for the judgment of fate.

Thinking of this, Kizaru couldn’t help but feel a deep chill rising up his spine, and sighed in his heart: Is there really no justice in this world anymore?
