"How could this be…"
Amid the shocked gazes of the Worst Generation pirates below, Kizaru looked gloomily at the golden flash streaking toward him once more.
"I'm the one who ate the Glint-Glint Fruit… so how come he looks more like the real 'man of light' than me?"
As he spoke, another Rasengan slammed into him, sending him crashing downward in a straight line like a blazing aurora, smashing into the Yarchiman Mangrove.
Despite the impact, Kizaru emerged unscathed, though more frustrated than ever.
"I can't even track his movements. This isn't just speed—it's more like a space-based Devil Fruit ability…"
Kizaru had always boasted the fastest speed in the world thanks to his light-based powers. But if there was anything faster than light—it could only be space itself.
"Is it through those things he's been throwing?" Kizaru expanded his Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) and caught sight of the Hiraishin kunai Naruto had scattered across the battlefield.
But at this point, Naruto had already thrown out over a hundred thousand of them.
"What a troublesome guy. This is exactly why I didn't want to come. Why couldn't you have just disappeared for a few more days…"
Kizaru sighed again, and after being pummeled a few more times, he finally started taking things seriously.
"You're finally getting serious, huh?"
Seeing the shift in Kizaru's expression, Naruto's gaze sharpened.
He hadn't held back just now—and for Kizaru to tank that many hits without much damage, it proved his Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) was extremely advanced.
In terms of combat power, Kizaru was no weaker than Aokiji or Akainu.
"But…"
Naruto's lips curled into a smirk. A Fūton: Rasenshuriken (Wind Style: Rasenshuriken) formed in his hand.
He vanished, reappearing in front of Kizaru.
"You can block frontal attacks… but what about this?"
He hurled the Rasenshuriken.
Kizaru didn't seem too concerned. After all, he had already tanked multiple Rasengans earlier. As long as his Armament Haki held, they wouldn't truly injure him.
He turned into light and hovered mid-air, forming a circular shape with his palms.
A golden mirror appeared between them.
"Yata no Kagami!!"
Zzt!
From the circular mirror, thousands of golden light beams burst forth like lasers, meeting the incoming Rasenshuriken head-on.
BOOM!!!
The jutsu exploded mid-air, releasing countless microscopic wind blades with terrifying intensity.
A violent blue windstorm erupted—each hidden wind blade sharp as steel, slicing the battlefield into deep cracks.
Several pirates who failed to dodge in time were instantly slashed, their limbs bloodied, some even losing arms.
"What!?"
The pirates of the Worst Generation turned pale, stunned that the residual shockwaves alone had caused such carnage.
And it wasn't over. The golden lasers smashed into the ground, creating thunderous explosions.
Each blast was as powerful as heavy artillery.
Caught between the fury of lasers and wind blades, even the "devil" pirates could only run in a panic.
Even the Worst Generation had no choice but to avoid the overwhelming onslaught of laser beams and slicing winds.
"If I can destroy those thrown weapons… maybe Uzumaki Naruto won't be able to use that insane speed anymore?"
Kizaru muttered to himself while blasting lasers across the ground.
Naruto sneered.
He didn't bother answering. For one, the Hiraishin kunai were made of steel and not easily broken. And even if they were, he could still flash through markings of his technique.
Instead, Naruto's eyes gleamed. Gazing at the close-by Kizaru, he activated a unique Kekkei Genkai and declared:
"Kongō Fūsoku!" (Adamantine Sealing Chains!)
From Naruto's back, four golden, shining chains burst forth—snaking through the sky like divine dragons.
Clatter… clatter…
The golden chains screeched as they twisted and coiled in the air, rapidly closing in on Kizaru.
Kizaru narrowed his eyes.
"What the hell is this now?"
This was why he hated fighting ninjas.
Their powers were so unpredictable and varied, it was impossible to plan ahead.
He remembered all too well from their previous encounter: just when you thought you understood Uzumaki Naruto's powers, he'd pull out another technique that shattered your worldview.
All Kizaru wanted to do was stall him until Aokiji and Akainu arrived.
But seeing the golden chains rushing toward him, Kizaru hesitated for a moment… then lashed out with a glowing kick.
Swish!
His light-infused leg slammed into the golden chain.
"Gotcha!" Naruto's eyes lit up.
Without hesitation, he infused the chains with his Kenbunshoku Haki and manipulated them like serpents, coiling up Kizaru's leg.
Kizaru's expression changed.
"No way—is this… Seastone!?"
The moment the golden chain wrapped around his leg, he felt his Logia powers begin to fail.
His body refused to turn into light.
But soon he realized:
"…No, it's not Seastone. I don't feel any weakness. What the hell is this!?"
Once he figured that out, Kizaru nearly screamed in frustration.
Another new ability!?
Why did he even bother testing that chain!?
He cursed his carelessness and raised both arms in surrender.
"Uhh… can I surrender?"
Naruto grinned.
"Nope!"
A dangerous gleam filled his eyes.
"Admiral Kizaru—follower of 'unclear justice,' king of slacking off… I don't trust your surrender."
As sweat trickled down Kizaru's face, Naruto manipulated the golden chains.
They began to spin violently mid-air.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The chains spun faster and faster, their whirling speed producing sonic booms.
From the ground below, they appeared as a massive golden disc.
Wind howled, golden light flashed, and Kizaru's complexion went from green… to purple… to black.
"W-wait, wait! Uzumaki Naruto—stop spinning! I'm gonna hurl—BLEUGHH—!!"
A Marine Admiral… vomiting in the sky.
Then he realized in horror—because he was the one being spun around, he was about to crash into his own vomit.
Splatter.
Kizaru's face darkened—green, then purple, then pitch black.
"Urrghhhh…"
After who-knows-how-many revolutions, and just as the spinning reached maximum speed, Naruto smiled and brought the golden chains crashing down.
BOOOOM!!!
The earth cracked in massive rifts.
The mangled golden figure was smashed deep into the island.
