Chapter 104: The Fierce Battle with Kizaru (Part 1)

Ding!

As the system's prompt echoed in Chu Yi's mind, the awakening material collection task for the Light Fruit was announced.

Task Name: Who is Faster.

The task's content was...

To successfully dodge Kizaru's twenty attacks!

It was obvious that this was an extremely difficult task, because the task content referred to dodging rather than defending.

If it were defending, Chu Yi could rely entirely on the Shura Demon Statue's sturdy defense to directly clash with Kizaru. Other people might not believe it, but Chu Yi firmly believed that the Shura Demon Statue's defense, which even Whitebeard could not shatter with his fruit power, Kizaru could not easily destroy. This was something Chu Yi was very confident in.

But since it was dodging, it was a bit tricky!

Who was the fastest person in the pirate world?

Naturally, it was Kizaru, the user of the Light Fruit ability!

When using the fruit ability, Kizaru's speed could be compared to the speed of light. With Kizaru's mastery over his own fruit, Kizaru's speed could now surpass the speed of light. Chu Yi believed this.

Meanwhile, characters like Whitebeard and Shanks, the powerhouses of the seas, why were they not at a disadvantage in their clashes with Kizaru? It wasn't because of speed, because their speed couldn't be faster than Kizaru's.

They could clash with Kizaru relying on Observation Haki!

Using Observation Haki that was faster than Kizaru's to detect Kizaru's attack position a step ahead, preparing to block Kizaru's attack before it was launched, and then counterattack.

This could be said to be the only way to defeat Kizaru.

In other words, without cultivating Observation Haki to an extremely high level, Kizaru could easily kill them!

What he relied on...

Was precisely that Light Fruit that was a headache for those who were not proficient in Observation Haki!

Then, to what extent had Chu Yi's Observation Haki been cultivated now?

Was his Observation Haki also sufficient to confront Kizaru head-on?

Let's see Chu Yi and Kizaru's exchange!

"Shoo!"

In an instant, Akagami and Aokiji were locked in battle with Whitebeard, and Kizaru's figure suddenly appeared before Chu Yi, dropping to one knee with a light-speed kick.

Before the clash, relying on his knowledge of the original pirate story, Chu Yi knew that Kizaru was a very troublesome opponent, and among the future three Admirals of the Navy, Kizaru was the most threatening to him.

So, before Kizaru's "light-speed kick" arrived, Chu Yi had used Observation Haki in a "returning to its original state" mode.

But just as Chu Yi's Observation Haki spread out, and at the moment when it had locked onto Kizaru's figure in the previous second...

The next second!

With Kizaru using the fruit ability, Chu Yi discovered in shock that his Observation Haki actually... couldn't keep up with Kizaru's speed!

"What a terrifying fruit ability!"

"Utilizing the characteristics of the Light Fruit, Kizaru's movement speed was actually faster than my Observation Haki's perception speed. This... what kind of Light Fruit is this?"

"Truly the nemesis of those without Haki mastery!"

Chu Yi thought to himself secretly, then he didn't even give himself time to react.

"Bang!"

Kizaru's "light-speed kick" landed squarely on Chu Yi's jaw. However, the scene that followed immediately made Kizaru's eyes reveal a look of disbelief.

"Oh? It was completely fine?"

"His physical quality is really... monstrous!"

Yes.

In the original manga, Kizaru's "light-speed kick" that could kill all the pirate Supernovas had no effect at all in front of Chu Yi!

A heavy kick landed on Chu Yi's jaw. When Kizaru saw the scene before him, he discovered that under Chu Yi's cold gaze, his toe was being firmly pressed down by Chu Yi's jaw.

Looking at Chu Yi's expression, it seemed there was no pain at all!

Such terrifying physical quality, how could Kizaru not be shocked?

However, although Kizaru was shocked by Chu Yi's extraordinary physical quality, when facing Chu Yi, he couldn't feel happy.

"How should I proceed with the next step in cultivating Observation Haki?"

"Why after cultivating so close, it has become a perfected Observation Hagi, yet there seems to be no progress?"

"Damn it, if I had known earlier, I should have taken Rayleigh's notes from Tiger, carry them with me at all times, so that I at least know what the next stage of Observation Haki cultivation results in, to allow... to allow me a target to advance!"

In the first round of the clash, Chu Yi first understood the horror of the Light Fruit, then discovered that his supposedly sufficient Observation Haki was rendered utterly useless in front of Kizaru.

Especially, the notes left by Rayleigh were not carried on his body.

At this moment, Chu Yi didn't even know what the subsequent cultivation of Observation Hagi was, what the milestone for advancing was. To complete the awakening material collection task purely with Observation Hagi was simply delusional, not to mention truly defeating a future Navy Admiral while Whitebeard was entangled with Akagami and Aokiji!

But while secretly regretting his insufficient Observation Hagi cultivation, Chu Yi did not abandon fighting Kizaru.

Because...

When he could not lock onto Kizaru's high-speed moving figure with only Observation Hagi, Chu Yi had another method to deal with Kizaru!

That was "Gravity Domain!"

"MAX!"

"Three hundred times! Gravity Domain!"

Boom!

In an instant, his hands were clasped together.

At this moment, Kizaru was still maintaining the posture of his toe kicking on Chu Yi's jaw. Instead, Chu Yi quickly clasped his hands together, directly pressing the entire three hundred times "Gravity Domain" onto Kizaru.

There was no doubt Chu Yi didn't believe it!

Even if Kizaru's speed was fast, could he still maintain a movement speed that even his own Observation Hagi couldn't lock onto under the pressure of three hundred times "Gravity Domain"?

Holding this thought, facing Kizaru, Chu Yi's mouth curled up with a faint cold smile.

But just when Chu Yi was full of confidence, thinking that under the three hundred times "Gravity Domain", the fruit effect must be greatly discounted...

Chu Yi discovered that in front of him, Kizaru first grinned.

Then!

A brilliant golden light lit up in his palm!

"Shura, what an interesting ability."

"Sorry, your ability... cannot restrict me!"

Kizaru's words had just ended.

"Shoo!"

From the brilliant golden light condensed in his double palms, suddenly a golden light pillar shot out.

That light pillar did not receive any influence in Chu Yi's "Gravity Domain", still flying out at light speed under the pressure of the "Gravity" domain.

Moreover, just a second before that light pillar, when it just refracted the range where Chu Yi used "Gravity Domain", it suddenly "shooed" again!

Kizaru's figure actually completely merged into that golden light pillar, smoothly escaping from the range of Chu Yi's "Gravity Domain" oppression.

This move...

Was precisely one of Kizaru's commonly used moves in the original manga!

Named...

Eight-Figure Mirror!
