Chapter 167 Hunting for Admiral Kizaru (Ch 167)

Durant slowly raised his strong and powerful arms and grasped the dying Kizaru’s head tightly like an iron clamp.

At this moment, a dazzling white ball of light quickly condensed in his hand, like a bright moon hanging in the sky, and this is the powerful power contained in the Zhenzhen Fruit that is feared by the world!

Luo Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold and ruthless smile, and said softly: “Yellow Monkey, Yellow Monkey, let me use the terrifying power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to send you off today. I believe that such an ending is also a different kind of relief for you.”

“Hahahahahaha… What a great irony! I never thought that I, a dignified admiral of the navy, would end up like this.” Kizaru laughed wildly in self-deprecating tone, but his laughter was filled with endless sadness and despair.

He slowly closed his eyes, as if he had accepted the arrangement of fate, quietly waiting for the final arrival of death.

For Kizaru at this time, losing the ability of the Pika Pika Nomi, which he relied on for survival, was like an eagle breaking its wings or a tiger losing its fangs. He no longer had the slightest ability to fight back against the devil-like Durant in front of him.

What’s more, even when he possessed the power of the Pika Pika Nomi, he was defeated by Durant and was completely unable to compete with him.

Now, Kizaru has no choice but to face death calmly, because there is only one path before him – to leave this world full of strife and killing forever.

Looking back on his life, Kizaru was filled with emotion. However, what he never expected was that the greatest disaster in his life was encountering Durant, a peerless strong man who seemed to come from the underworld.

All I heard was a loud bang that shook the earth – “Boom~~”

As the light ball of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit suddenly exploded, the entire space trembled violently. In an instant, the wind howled and the waves surged, as if the end of the world was coming. In this chaos, Kizaru’s body also turned to ashes, completely losing all signs of life.

Durant looked at everything happening in front of him with an expressionless face, and casually threw Kizaru’s already cold and stiff body into the vast ocean.

Then he carefully put away the sparkling Sparkling Fruit that he had just extracted from Kizaru’s body.

On Fujitora’s side, his observation Haki was like a sharp radar, accurately capturing the disappearance of Admiral Kizaru’s aura.

His face instantly became extremely gloomy, his brows knitted tightly, and he said to Inspector Sengoku worriedly: “Lord Sengoku, the situation is not good! I just noticed that Admiral Kizaru’s aura has completely disappeared. I’m afraid he has met with an accident.”

Hearing Fujitora’s words, Sengoku’s heart sank, but he still tried to stay calm and responded uncertainly: “It shouldn’t be the case… You know, Kizaru is a strong man who possesses the magical ability of the Flash Fruit. Even if he encounters danger, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to escape.”

Indeed, in this vast and mysterious world, almost no one can stop Kizaru who is determined to escape from the battlefield.

Because of the ultimate speed granted by the Pikachu Fruit, even the battle-hardened and experienced Sengoku is ashamed of himself. The key lies in whether Kizaru will go all out and choose the path of escape.

Otherwise, if he decides to stay and confront Durant head-on on impulse or out of hope, the consequences will be disastrous.

With the terrifying strength and ruthless methods shown by Durant, it is very likely that Kizaru will be killed in a short time.

What’s even more incredible is that Durant killed a general so quickly that it was beyond imagination.

If he could really kill a general so quickly, then how strong is Durant? It is really hard to estimate, and even terrifying.

Thinking of this, a layer of sweat broke out on Zhan Guo’s forehead unconsciously, and his eyes were filled with worry and uneasiness.

Zhan Guo’s eyes widened, and he muttered to himself in disbelief: “How is this possible? Durant actually possesses such terrifying strength that he can easily wipe out a general! If this is true, then our navy will be doomed to failure? Facing such a powerful enemy, there is absolutely no chance of winning!”

Fujitora, who was standing by, keenly caught the suspicious look on Sengoku’s face and couldn’t help but ponder in his heart. In fact, even he himself was skeptical about Kizaru being killed by Luo Chen.

After all, Kizaru’s breath suddenly disappeared, and it is really difficult to determine whether the real cause of his death was indeed caused by Durant.

At this moment, Fujitora and Sengoku were both full of confusion, but time was running out and they couldn’t afford to think too much.

Sengoku’s expression froze, and he quickly warned, “Fujitora, we must evacuate this place as soon as possible! If Durant comes back, the consequences will be disastrous.”

To be honest, Kizaru’s act of running away from the battlefield really made Zhan Guo very angry. But the situation was critical at the moment, and his own safety was the top priority.

“As you command, Inspector Sengoku.” Upon hearing this, Fujitora nodded solemnly in response.

Just as Fujitora was concentrating his energy and using all his strength to try to lift the huge warship out of the sea, a black shadow appeared quietly in the sky above their heads like a ghost.

Fujitora’s heart tightened, and he turned to look at Sengoku beside him with a worried look on his face, and said in a deep voice: “Mr. Sengoku, the situation is not good. I’m afraid we are going to be in big trouble this time.”

Zhan Guo frowned, nodded solemnly and responded: “That’s right! The most urgent thing is to think of a way to escape from here! Moreover, this place is located on the vast ocean, which is extremely unfavorable for us.” He was well aware of the dangerous environment he was in at the moment. If he could not get away in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

After all, being in the vast ocean put the two of them in an extremely disadvantaged position.

Once the military ship they depend on for survival is destroyed, what awaits them will be the boundless and bottomless ocean.

Durant’s figure was like a dark cloud, slowly descending towards where Sengoku and Fujitora were.

When he was close enough, he stopped and said coldly: “I have already dealt with Kizaru. Now, there are only two of you left.” There was a chilling murderous intent in his words.

“What?” When Sengoku and Fujitora heard this, they both showed disbelief on their faces. They widened their eyes, as if they had heard the most absurd thing in the world. Sengoku couldn’t hold back his astonishment and immediately asked back:

“Durant, how on earth were you able to kill Kizaru so quickly? You know, no matter how sloppy Kizaru is on weekdays, the speed granted by his Shining Fruit is definitely top-notch!”

However, in response to Sengoku’s question, Durant simply replied lightly: “As for how Kizaru was killed, you don’t need to know that, Sengoku.” His voice was as calm as water, and it seemed that there was no fluctuation at all because of the feat he had just accomplished.

At this time, Luo Chen on the side gave orders: “Hancock, Rain Shiryu, next you two will go to contain Fujitora, and the old man Zhan Guo will be dealt with by this captain personally.”

“Yes, Captain Durant!” Hancock and Shiryu of the Rain responded in unison, their words full of respect.

Upon seeing this, Fujitora couldn’t help but laugh at himself helplessly: “Back then, I was hailed as a monster, but today, when I face Durant, I know what a real monster is…” His words revealed endless emotion and sigh.

“That’s true!” Even Zhan Guo couldn’t help but sigh, thinking back to when he had been the Admiral of the Navy for more than a decade and was once so majestic, but now he has become a prey in the hands of others who can be manipulated at will. It is really sad that fate plays such a trick on people.

“This is where you will die, Zhan Guo!” Durant’s cold and murderous voice exploded in Zhan Guo’s ears like thunder.

At this moment, Zhan Guo secretly complained in his heart. He knew very well that if he rashly activated the Great Buddha form, the heavy burden brought by his huge body would cause him to lose the Moon Step skill that he relied on for survival.

Helplessly, Zhan Guo had to suppress the fear and anxiety in his heart and face the extremely terrifying enemy in front of him, Durant, in a normal state.

Durant’s mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a creepy evil smile, and he said coldly: “Zhan Guo, ah Zhan Guo, today I will use this world-shaking Zhen Zhen Fruit to send you to the abyss of hell from which there will be no return!”

When hearing the words “Tremor-Tremor Fruit”, Sengoku’s heart was filled with an indescribable complex emotion. After all, that was the powerful power that once belonged to the legendary pirate Whitebeard Edward Newgate!

However, this is not the time to reminisce about the past. Zhan Guo knows clearly that the most urgent task is to think about how to withstand Durant’s fierce attack like a storm.

In a flash, Durant had already swung his fists that contained endless power, and quickly condensed two dazzling light balls of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability. Then, he smashed towards Zhan Guo without hesitation.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Zhan Guo did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly used all his skills to defend himself…

As time passed, this thrilling battle continued, but Zhan Guo was at an absolute disadvantage from beginning to end and was firmly suppressed by Durant.

When he actually fought Durant, Zhan Guo deeply felt how amazing the power this guy possessed! He widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment, and thought to himself: “I really can’t imagine how Durant got such a terrifyingly powerful power? This is simply beyond common sense and unbelievable!”

Just as Zhan Guo was lost in thought, Durant took advantage of the opportunity. Durant swung his fist with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and smashed it hard on Zhan Guo’s head like a storm.

There was a loud “bang” and Zhan Guo suddenly felt dizzy, stars appeared in front of his eyes and he could not help but let out a dull groan, followed by large mouthfuls of blood gushing out.

Zhan Guo gritted his teeth, enduring the severe pain, and regretted deeply in his heart: “Oh my, I was so careless! Facing a terrifying monster like Durant, even a moment of distraction could lead to fatal consequences!”

It was a pity that it was too late to regret now, because once Durant caught the flaw, he would never let go of this great opportunity easily. Then, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food, he launched a violent and violent attack on Zhan Guo.

Fujitora was extremely anxious, but helpless. He knew that he had a great responsibility on his shoulders. On the one hand, he wanted to go to help Inspector Sengoku, but on the other hand, he was tightly entangled by Shiryu and Boa Hancock, making it difficult for him to get away and help.

Faced with such a difficult situation, Fujitora couldn’t help but sigh: “Alas! This operation is probably a life-or-death struggle. I hope the navy can withstand this heavy pressure!”

At this moment, he has already realized the seriousness of the situation. If he fails to break out successfully, not only will he be in danger himself, but it will also bring immeasurable negative impact to the entire navy.

At the same time, Zhan Guo was covered in wounds, and his robe was stained red with blood. Despite his serious injuries, he gritted his teeth and thought to himself: “If this continues, I will surely die at the hands of Luo Chen. Even if I die on the battlefield, I will make Durant pay a heavy price!”

This firm belief supports Zhan Guo to continue fighting, and he never retreats even when the road ahead is difficult.

In the next moment, Durant suddenly displayed the mysterious and terrifying ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit. A strange black light suddenly flashed, like an invisible powerful force, tightly binding Zhan Guo.

Zhan Guo felt as if his body had lost control, and he flew towards Durant involuntarily. He widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment and disbelief, and tried to struggle and resist, but to no avail.

In the blink of an eye, Durant had already reached out and firmly grasped Zhan Guo’s head. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, and said: “Hey, Zhan Guo, everything is over. Now, you so-called generals are just so powerful in my eyes, and you are simply vulnerable!”

Zhan Guo was extremely anxious. He knew that the situation was extremely critical and he had to use the Great Buddha form as soon as possible to get out of the predicament. However, no matter how hard he tried, he found that his body was completely out of control. Even the powerful devil fruit ability in his body seemed to be sealed and could not be mobilized at all.

At this moment, Sengoku’s heart was already in turmoil. He finally understood why Kizaru was defeated and killed by Durant so quickly. It turned out that the problem was here – this Durant actually had a terrifying method to block the devil fruit ability of others!

This is really too scary! Durant in front of him is like a peerless beast from the abyss, and the breath emanating from his body makes people shudder. Facing such an unfathomable enemy, Zhan Guo felt unprecedented despair and helplessness…
