Chapter 1354 The Battle of the Shambodian Islands (15)

However, what is puzzling is that such a once prosperous and majestic pirate group suddenly disappeared, as if it had evaporated from the world.

Many of its crew members set up new mountains and created their own hegemony.

As for the reason, even Kizaru, as a navy general, knows little about it.

All signs indicate that there seems to be a mysterious force behind the scenes that manipulate everything, intentionally concealing certain key information.

This made the whole incident more confusing and full of endless mysteries.

Kizaru's face, which always had a calm smile, lost its iconic expression at this moment. His eyes tightly locked on the woman in front of him, and a hint of unconcealed surprise and solemnity were revealed in his eyes.

I saw Kizaru floating in the air as light as a swallow, holding the extremely sharp sky conglomerate in his right hand, and the blade flashed with a terrifying cold light.

He said to Xia Qi in a slightly threatening tone: "Madam, are you really determined to stop my actions?"

Xia Qi, who was standing on the ground, seemed extremely calm. She raised her head slightly and welcomed Kizaru's gaze without fear. She responded firmly in a tone: "As long as you are willing to let the straw hats go, let them be safe If I leave this place, I will naturally choose to give in."

Hearing this, Kizaru couldn't help but sneer, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of contempt.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a soft murmur: "Haha, since that's the case, let's learn your skills carefully, senior!"

Before he finished speaking, Kizaru's figure disappeared without a trace like a ghost.

In just a blink of an eye, Kizaru appeared in front of Xia Qi at an astonishing speed.

The Tiancong Yunqi in his hand was wrapped in a sharp sword energy and slashed down from top to bottom.

This sudden fierce offensive caught Xia Qi off guard, but the combat experience accumulated over the years still made her react quickly.

Xia Qi quickly dodged to one side to avoid it. At the same time, she lifted her feet without hesitation and covered them with a layer of hard armed domineering aura.

Then, she exerted force suddenly, and her legs kicked towards Kizaru like a storm.

For a moment, her legs kept flying in the air, causing a strong wind to launch fierce attacks on Kizaru.

Dangdangdangdangdangdang! Accompanied by the crisp and harsh collision sounds throughout the sky, Xia Qi's feet, wrapped in armed domineering spirit, collided violently with the lightsabers in Kizaru's hand.

Unexpectedly, when the two collided, they burst out with sparks and deafening roars like the crackling of metals.

Kizaru quickly retreated, and in the blink of an eye it retreated into the air.

His eyes were tightly locked at Xia Qi, who was solemn in his heart, and he thought to himself about the information he had obtained from the brief and intense fight just now.

With just one encounter, Kizaru had already figured out the opponent's fighting path.

"It turned out to be the physical skill of Jiushe Island. It seems that you are from Jiushe Island without a doubt!"

Kizaru's mouth raised slightly and he spoke slowly.

However, what responded to him was Xia Qi's angrily shout: "What are you talking about!"

Xia Qi's legs suddenly bent downward, like a spring compressed to the extreme, and then she soared into the sky.

This leap was as high as dozens of meters, and its speed was as fast as lightning.

In the air, Xia Qi's legs turned into phantoms, kicking towards Kizaru like a storm.

Faced with such a fierce offensive, Kizaru did not dare to be careless at all and immediately stopped retaining his strength.

The long sword in his hand flashed with a cold light and instantly slashed towards Xia Qi.

In an instant, the sword legs intersected, making a deafening sound.

A huge force was transmitted along the sword body. Xia Qi felt a numbness in her legs, and her body was involuntarily slashed backward by this huge force.

She forced herself to stabilize her body in the air and then landed heavily on the ground.

Due to the excessive impact force when landing, the land under Xia Qi's feet was smashed into a deep pit.

At this time, Xia Qi's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but her eyes were still firm and full of fighting spirit.

"I am worthy of being a general of the Navy headquarters, and my strength should not be underestimated!"

Xia Qi gritted her teeth, her face as ugly as if it could drip out of water.

Kizaru slowly fell from the air, holding a long sword in his hand, pointing directly at Xia Qi, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"If you only have this ability, I'm afraid you will be unable to escape today!"

Hearing Kizaru's provocative words, Xia Qi's anger became stronger.

"Bastard, don't underestimate people too much! This is just the beginning!"

With a soft shout, Xia Qi exerted force again, and her legs kicked up like a powerful thruster, bringing up a burst of smoke and dust, and rushed towards the Kizaru with a speed of lightning.

At this moment, Kizaru slowly raised a finger expressionlessly.

In an instant, a dazzling wave of light shot out from his fingertips like lightning.

This sudden change caught Xia Qi, who was charging forward with all his might, completely off guard.

She widened her eyes and complained secretly in her heart. She never expected Kizaru to use such a fierce killing move.

There was only a crisp "whoosh" sound, and the light shot straight towards Xia Qi at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, she hit her shoulder accurately.

Because the incident happened suddenly and without any defense, Xia Qi had no time to make any effective defensive moves, and her shoulders were instantly pierced by this powerful light.

Xia Qi's body, which suffered severe damage, suddenly trembled, and the charge that had been moving forward suddenly came to an abrupt end.

At the same time, wisps of bright red blood flowed out from the wound like a fountain, dyeing her clothes red.

Xia Qi gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain and let out a low muffled groan. She quickly covered her injured shoulder with her hands, her eyes full of vigilance and anger, staring at Kizaru not far away.

On the other side, Luffy, who was fighting fiercely with the pacifists, was shocked when he heard Xia Qi's muffled groan.

He quickly turned his head to look at it. When he saw Xia Qi's injury and bleeding, he couldn't help but feel angry and shouted loudly: "Senior!"

However, before he could take action, several deadly lights shot up quickly behind him like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

Faced with this critical situation of attacks from front to back, Luffy knew that he could not be distracted at this moment, so he had to temporarily put down his worries about Xia Qi and concentrate all his energy to deal with the difficult enemies in front of him first.
