Admiral Kizaru's eyes narrowed slightly.
While saying how terrifying it was, his fingertip was already accumulating a terrifying laser.
A cross-shaped beam of light, more dazzling than the sun, lit up from his right index finger.
This attack could definitely easily pierce through the earth.
Facing Admiral Kizaru's terrifying laser.
Roland, however, neither dodged nor avoided.
He pulled out a gold coin with a flick of his wrist.
Sizzle sizzle~
Golden electric light surged.
Whoosh!
Admiral Kizaru's charged laser beam shot out suddenly.
Boom!
Roland flicked his fingertip lightly, and a terrifying Railgun pierced through the atmosphere.
Laser beam and Railgun.
Two similar terrifying forces met and clashed at the central point.
Boom!
Rumble!
Extremely violent energy shockwaves raged and spread in all directions.
The main island of Enies Lobby shook violently, and buildings within several hundred meters were all razed to the ground.
"So... so strong! What terrifying power is this!"
"Traveler Rolin, with a bounty of one billion, truly lives up to his reputation!"
Kashi and Oimo, the giants, both exclaimed in shock.
"Ga ba ba ba, Rolin really held back during the battle at Little Garden back then!"
Red Ogre Brogy said.
"That's right, at that time Rolin only used his martial arts, if he had unleashed this power, we probably wouldn't have lasted three seconds!"
Dorry the Blue Ogre nodded solemnly.
"This is just the initial warm-up!"
Thor spoke casually.
His words instantly left the four giants speechless.
Wha... what do you mean?
Such a terrifying confrontation was just a warm-up!
If they were to get serious, how much more... terrifying would it be!
Clang~
Swish~
Two clear sounds of swords being drawn rang out.
Flashes of golden light and electric arcs, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.
That was Rolin and Kizaru clashing their swords in the explosion's smoke.
However, the sword was not an iron sword, but a lightning sword.
And the sword was not an iron sword, but the Ama no Murakumo light sword.
Admiral Kizaru could condense a light sword with the power of light.
Rolin could naturally construct a lightning sword with the power of lightning.
And Rolin did not imbue the lightning sword with advanced Armament Haki.
Because this was a battle of light and lightning.
During the Sky Island incident, Rolin obtained the max-level Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic.
However, the so-called God Enel was simply too weak.
In that battle, Rolin didn't get to fight to his heart's content.
The most he used the max-level Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic for was to devour lightning.
Now, he had finally met a rare Admiral-level sparring partner like Kizaru.
Rolin naturally wanted to make good use of him; it would be boring if it ended too quickly.
Moreover, Rolin also wanted to see whether light or lightning was stronger.
"This is truly terrifying!"
Admiral Kizaru swung his Ama no Murakumo light sword, again uttering the word 'terrifying'.
Only this time, there was no lewdness on his face, only solemnity and shock.
The brief exchange was enough for him to understand Rolin's strength.
If he underestimated him because he was a newcomer this year, he would definitely suffer a great loss.
"You are indeed the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user who appeared in the South Sea. In the battle of Treasure Island, you saved the young generation of the Marines. Sister Tsuru has always wanted to thank you!"
Admiral Kizaru said.
"You've got the wrong person. I didn't make a move in that South Sea incident. If you want to thank someone, find someone else!"
Rolin said indifferently, his lightning sword slashing mercilessly, sending Admiral Kizaru flying to the horizon.
"Oh oh oh, Mr. Rolin is amazing! That Kizaru was directly sent flying out of sight!"
Kashi, the giant, cheered excitedly.
"No, that monkey-like man probably flew out on his own!"
Thor saw through the truth.
And that was indeed the case.
The next second.
A brilliant cross-shaped light appeared on the distant horizon.
"Speed is power. Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
Admiral Kizaru whispered faintly, his figure suddenly accelerating to the extreme.
In an instant, Admiral Kizaru traversed the distance between heaven and earth, returning to Enies Lobby.
A light-speed kick, imbued with extreme speed and power, was aimed at Rolin.
"Then let me try it!"
Rolin still didn't dodge.
His right foot, wreathed in lightning, struck out horizontally.
Thunder Dragon's Claw!!!
Boom!
The collision of the light-speed kick and the Thunder Dragon's Claw caused the atmosphere to ripple with visible rings of power.
Rumble!
Buildings affected by the power ripples instantly collapsed and shattered.
"It seems I have the upper hand this time!"
Admiral Kizaru's lips curved into a slight smirk of triumph.
With a whoosh and a bang, Rolin spun and landed, his feet shattering the ground of Enies Lobby.
By relying on a long-distance charged light-speed kick, Admiral Kizaru gained a slight advantage in this collision.
"Don't be in a hurry; it's still just the warm-up stage!"
Rolin said nonchalantly, unconcerned.
"Still a warm-up? You sure are bold!"
Admiral Kizaru's expression darkened; he was already giving his all.
"Then let me see your full power next!"
Yasakani no Magatama!!!
Admiral Kizaru shot into the sky.
The dazzling light attack that had previously defeated the two giant soldier captains exploded once again.
"Thunder Light Bullet!"
Rolin spread his fingers wide, and countless lightning orbs shot out from his palm, colliding with Admiral Kizaru's laser beams, creating terrifying chain explosions.
Laser beams and violent lightning, the most destructive forces in the world, filled the entire area.
The entire main island of Enies Lobby became the battlefield for Rolin and Kizaru.
Thor was unharmed, but the four giants had no choice but to continuously retreat to the front island to observe the battle.
This level of combat was truly unprecedented in their lives.
Just watching from the main island could result in being accidentally injured by the residual attacks of the two.
"Thunder Burst!!!"
Violent electrons condensed in Rolin's palm.
The moment it fell, a mushroom cloud seemed to rise slowly from the main island of Enies Lobby.
Whoosh!
A golden light, like a sharp arrow, pierced through the mushroom cloud and ascended high into the sky.
"Let's stop here today. With our abilities, we won't be able to determine a winner!"
Admiral Kizaru forced down the churning blood in his body, feigning nonchalance.
"Can't determine a winner? Who decides that!"
Rolin grinned.
Looking at his smile, Admiral Kizaru's heart thumped, and an ominous premonition grew stronger.
"Well, since you've said so, then the warm-up ends here!"
Rolin said indifferently.
The moment his words fell.
The brilliant golden lightning swirling around his body completely retracted.
What burst forth instead was surging crimson-black lightning.
Thunder Dragon King Mode, activated!!!
