The air in Grove 12 didn't just vibrate; it 'Ionized'. To Amine's violet-tinted vision, the atmosphere was being 'Overwritten' by a blinding, yellow 'Code' that moved faster than his system could 'Buffer'. He stood in front of the cowering Straw Hats, his Golden Stylus glowing with a frantic, overcharged violet light that was beginning to crack the very air around it.

"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?" A calm, lazy voice echoed, but it didn't come from any specific direction. It was 'Omnipresent'.
Suddenly, a tall figure in a yellow striped suit materialized in a burst of 'Golden-Pixels'. Admiral Kizaru. He wasn't just standing; he was 'Rendering' at a refresh rate that made Amine's system look like a 'Legacy-Computer'.
"Admiral Kizaru..." Amine whispered, his teeth gritting as he drew a massive, layered 'Hyper-Dimensional Firewall'. "Your 'Light' is fast, but it's still just 'Data'. And all data... has a 'Route'!"
Kizaru tilted his head, his sunglasses reflecting the violet 'Logic-Shield' Amine had created. "Oh? A 'Scholar' who thinks he can 'Lag' the light? How scary..."
Without moving his body, Kizaru raised his leg. It wasn't a kick; it was a 'Direct-Memory-Access' attack. The yellow light gathered at his foot, reaching a 'Density' that threatened to 'De-render' the entire mangrove forest.

"I can't block it!" Amine roared, his stylus etching a 'Time-Dilation-Patch' in the air. "Everyone! Move! I'm going to 'Invert' the local 'Frame-Rate'! I'm going to make 0.1 seconds last for 10 seconds!"
Amine slammed his stylus into the ground, and a wave of violet 'Clock-Cycles' exploded outward. The world turned into a 'Slow-Motion Partition'. The falling leaves froze in mid-air. Luffy's scream was stretched into a low-frequency rumble.
But Kizaru... Kizaru was still moving.
"Your 'Time-Patch' is interesting, boy," Kizaru said, his voice slow but steady. "But 'Light' is the 'Constant' of this world's 'Source-Code'. You can't 'Lag' the universal 'Clock-Speed'!"
Kizaru's foot connected with Amine's violet shield. The collision didn't make a sound; it created a 'Total-System-Whiteout'. The firewall shattered into a billion 'Data-Shards', and Amine was sent flying through three mangrove trees, his system 'Screaming' in agony.
