#1465 - Chapter 1475: The Battle of Marineford (Eighty-Seven)

At that same moment, a massive ice shield materialized, protecting everyone behind it.

A deafening boom echoed as the fierce lightning bolts slammed into the sturdy ice shield.

Instantly, flashes of lightning mingled with the spray of ice shards, forming a dense cloud of icy mist.

Behind the ice shield, Aokiji stood firm, unmoving, like an indestructible iceberg.

However, Tesla had no intention of continuing the fight.

He swiftly grabbed Law, his figure flashing as he planned to speed towards the open sea.

He wasn't acting out of fear or to escape; this battle was utterly meaningless to him.

Tesla mused inwardly: What is the Fleet Admiral thinking? To go to war with me over Law.

This situation was entirely unexpected.

In his initial plan, he would simply come to the Marine Headquarters to demand a person, and the Marines would obediently hand him over.

He never imagined the Marines would be so stubborn and unyielding.

Just as Tesla was about to slip away, Fleet Admiral Sengoku wouldn't let him off so easily.

Sengoku roared, "Kizaru!"

Immediately, Kizaru's somewhat lazy yet teasing voice echoed from the sky: "Understood, understood. But…hehe, you'll have to give me a raise after this. Working at such a high intensity every day is a bit much, even for me!"

No sooner had Kizaru spoken than a golden light flashed, and Kizaru's thick leg appeared like lightning in Tesla's path.

Seeing this, Tesla's eyes narrowed. Without hesitation, he raised his right hand, which instantly crackled with dazzling lightning and was coated in a layer of powerful Haki.

In the blink of an eye, his right hand transformed into an incredibly sharp claw, seizing Kizaru's right leg with lightning speed.

This sudden change caught Kizaru, who was about to utter some harsh words, completely off guard.

In that instant, two figures sped towards each other like lightning, colliding with tremendous force.

A deafening explosion, like the earth splitting, reverberated through the sky.

The immense impact tore through the surrounding air, creating a massive mushroom cloud in the sky, resembling the end of the world.

Kizaru and Tesla were both sent flying backward.

However, even amidst such intense impact, Tesla tightly protected Law to his left, using his solid body to shield him from the terrifying aftershocks of the explosion, ensuring Law was unharmed.

Meanwhile, Kizaru demonstrated his powerful Logia Devil Fruit ability, quickly transforming his body into a golden beam of light, deftly dodging the explosion's aftershocks.

Despite this, his calf was unfortunately left with five deep claw marks, blood seeping from them.

However, these minor injuries didn't hinder Kizaru's movements, and he successfully stopped Tesla from escaping.

Kizaru said lazily, "Hmph, you won't escape. If I let you get away, the Fleet Admiral will blame me!"

He glanced at the wounds on his right calf, which began to emit a faint glow.

As the light intensified, the gruesome wounds began to heal at a visible rate.

Tesla keenly noticed this change, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Kizaru also noticed Tesla's micro-expression.

Then smiled.

"Light can also be used to heal wounds, it seems I learned that trick from you."

Kizaru said languidly, puffing out his chest as if showing off a rare treasure.

Faced with Kizaru's provocation, Tesla remained expressionless, but his eyes grew colder.

Then, his tone remained as calm as water: "I've said it before, anyone who dares to stop me will only meet death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tesla's entire body suddenly erupted with intense lightning power. Countless thick currents of electricity, like dancing silver snakes, surged from his body, instantly engulfing most of the sky.

The entire space was filled with this violent lightning power, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Extreme Lightning Chidori!"

With Tesla's roar, he swung his right arm violently, and in an instant, lightning flashed across the sky. Countless birds formed from lightning, like arrows released from a bow, hurtled towards Kizaru with unparalleled momentum.

Faced with such a surging offensive, Kizaru dared not be negligent. He quickly retreated, crossing his arms in front of his chest, and shouted, "Yata no Kagami!"

Immediately, his arms swung rapidly like windmills, and dazzling light bullets shot out from his hands, like a group of meteors streaking across the sky,迎击迎击迎击迎击迎击迎击迎击迎击迎击迎击 towards those lightning birds.

The attacks collided in mid-air with a deafening roar of thunder and explosions.

Blinding flames shot into the sky, as if to ignite the entire heavens.

However, Tesla was now somewhat overwhelmed, as he was holding Law tightly with one hand, unable to fully concentrate on the battle.

In contrast, Kizaru had no reservations. He keenly noticed Tesla's weakness and immediately seized the opportunity, launching a torrential barrage of attacks.

Kizaru's figure flickered, each move aimed directly at Law, clearly intending to disrupt Tesla's rhythm by exploiting his protective instincts.

This tactic of attacking where the enemy must defend made Kizaru's offense exceptionally fierce, leaving Tesla struggling to cope.

However, Tesla was ultimately an extraordinary individual. Despite needing to divide his attention to protect Law, he remained calm and composed, fighting fiercely with Kizaru.

The two exchanged blows, fists and palms colliding, electricity crackling, and the surrounding air rippled with waves of energy.

This fierce battle was breathtaking, and the spectators watched with bated breath, anxiously observing the development of the battle.

In this fierce confrontation, who will ultimately emerge victorious?

Everything is still unknown.

While Tesla and Kizaru engaged in an earth-shattering battle, war raged and smoke filled every corner of Marine Headquarters.
