"That's all story. So can you let me go now." Blue Scout said in a tone as if he was Kizaru's father.
"Is that all?" Kizaru asked Scout who was lifted by him.
"Yes. That's all. Stupid yellow monkey" Despite being in a dire situation, Scout still had the mood to taunt Kizaru.
"The story is a bit" Kizaru stopped in the middle before continuing. "stupid and silly"
Kizaru didn't know whether this story was credible or not. Two brothers fighting over 1 piece of land lasted for many decades. They spent all the money to hire them, Mercenaries.
Mercenaries had been fighting each other for many years. They fought a battle which is unwinnable since both sides were unkillable.
Blue Scout didn't tell a lie. He did tell who was his boss. It's a pity that he told the old boss.
"Alright, since you won't say it then I don't have no choice but to kill you."
"I know you will say it." Scout took out a mini nuclear bomb. "That's why I prepared this little boy for this case."
Pressing the button, the mini nuclear bomb started to count down.

"Farewell. Cruel life." Without waiting for Kirazu to send him to the other side, Blue Scout ended his life by biting his tongue off.
Holding the lifeless body, Kizaru tossed it aside and looked at the bomb that was left behind by Scout.

Seeing the bomb countdown, Kizaru felt that wasn't a good thing so he quickly kicked the bomb with the speed of light.
Unfortunately for him, this bomb was designed to explode immediately after receiving the strong impact.
As soon as his leg touched the bomb, the bomb brightened violently. Blinding everything in a 4 km radius.
Kizaru's eyes opened widely as if he realized the incoming danger.
Accompanying with the light, the violent sound reverberated through the sea.
A huge mushroom cloud appeared and it eradicated anything in its path.
A light dashed from the dispersing cloud carrying a person on it. The light started to form into a humanoid shape.
Holding the already passed-out Gion, Kizaru looked at the aftermath.
After the mushroom cloud dispersed, a big hole in the middle of the ocean was revealed and the sea water gradually filled the hole.
After waiting for a bit, the hole was filled and the sea returned to its calm state.
"I know it was dangerous but I didn't think it would be dangerous to this degree," Kizaru said.
He was an Admiral with rich experience. However, he never met such a destructive weapon with the size of the arm.
"That bomb reminds me a little bit of Buggy." Although it was a short moment, Kizaru could see it.
Just like the moment when he saw Buggy split the atom into halves.
That means this weapon uses the same principle that Buggy used.
This experience refreshed his worldview.
"Look like I have to be serious about this matter." Kizaru was aware of the danger if this weapon was mass-produced.
It will push the Marines to a disadvantage. Just imagining the pirate somehow managed to buy this weapon, he knew the future would be very hard for Marine.
Putting this matter aside, Kizaru needed to bring Gion back to the fleet so that she could get treatment from the medical team.
With the speed of light, he moved in a certain direction.
Moving far a bit, he could see another Marine fleet making their way towards Arabasta.
Not like the previous fleet, this fleet of marine ships was their main force.
Kizaru could spot Akainu standing on the deck. He landed on the deck and handed Gion over to another of the navy.
The doctor came and inspected Gion's injury. After checking, the doctor nodded to confirm Gion's condition and beckoned another navy to come.
Without saying anything, navy quickly brought her to the clinic room.
"What have you engaged" Looking at the Gion's injury and mushroom clouds from afar, Akainu asked.
Kizaru looked at Akainu before shifting his gaze toward the masked man standing behind him.
That man just stared at him without saying any words.
Realizing CP agent trying to measure him, Kizaru could only heave a sign before giving an answer.
"It's just a group of ruthless Mercenaries this time. They are pretty crazy."
"Mercenaries."
"Yes. You are not hearing wrong. Mercenaries attacked Marine." Kizaru said again so that they could load what he said.
After done with loading, an angry emotion appeared on Akainu's face.
"Those nuisance bastard." He grunted. His complaint was so loud that the CP agent behind him could hear it.
However, none of it mattered to CP since it didn't relate to the World Government so he ignored it.
"Alright. That is just a small matter. How is the situation of the front fleet?" Akainu asked about the situation of the first fleet.
"Except Gion. I am afraid that others won't survive." Kizaru said in a sad tone.
"I see. What a dreadful death. At least, they die for justice." Akainu said and turned to leave.
Looking at Akainu's leave, Kizaru was surprised. He thought Akainu would ask more since there were mushroom clouds behind but he just turned and left after asking a few questions.
The CP agent who stood silently all the time nodded and left immediately.
Leaving only Kizaru standing on the deck.
"Yare yare. I hope this Buster Call won't meet any problem." Only after they left, Kizaru said what he thought.
The second fleet had 100 warships and was led by 3 Admiral and some CP agents.
Kizaru looked in the direction where Alabasta was and muttered.
"Artifact Devil Fruit. This is indeed a world-breaking change."
It's just he didn't know if this change was good or bad.
"But. To attract the World Government's attention. You may bring a disaster to your own house, Fontaine." Kizaru took out a deep breath. Although he knew the dark side of World Government, he was powerless to do anything against them. Even Sengoku felt the same as him.
Although they knew, that didn't mean that they accepted the World Government's action.
In fact, Sengoku wanted to do something to punish those Nobles who breached the rule but he couldn't do anything since it would anger the World Government.
And World Government was their main resource and money.
The dream is always a dream.
Although Kizaru didn't know what Sengoku thought about Fontaine, at least he knew Sengoku didn't like Fontaine.
Fontaine, the black horse of this year. Kizaru didn't know how to comment.
Maybe Fontaine is bad for the world. At least, that was what he thought.
Until he read a book named "The Road to OlymWibu".
At first, he didn't want to read it since this book affected some people who read it. Both outside and inside.
That was until the World Government banned that book because of reactionary content. It aroused a sense of curiosity inside him.
His curiosity didn't stop until he read it.
Only after reading it, Kizaru understood why Aristocracy and the World Government didn't like it.
Because the book criticized the Aristocracy system.
Of course, the book gave out evidence very clearly and explained it in a simple way that the commoner could understand.
Although the book did a good job of explaining why, Nobles and the World Government didn't like it.
As a result, the book was banned. Even Big New Morgan couldn't do anything.
"Then it's gone the second volume." Kizaru let out a deep breath. He wasn't a Noble so he didn't care too much about the Aristocracy system.
Ignoring the fact that the book criticized the Aristocracy system, the book is very interesting to read.
While Kizaru immersed himself in the sea of thought, he spotted a black dot in the sky.
The black dot suddenly brightened.
[ Detect: Hostile intention ]
A mechanic voice sounded in his head.
Immediately, a vision of the future loaded into his brain directly.
That energy beam shot toward the marine fleet. Upon contacting the sea, it exploded and engulfed all warships in white dazzling light.
After the light disappeared, the fleet also disappeared along with it.
He could see himself surviving from the attack but without suffering. From the vision of the future, he lost his left arm.
After that, there was someone with a sword floating right behind him.
[ Game Over ]
The vision of the future ended.
And the black screen appeared.
It gave him some advice, rate of success, and rate of risk.
Looking at it, he made a fast choice.
Returning back to reality, Kizaru immediately sprang into action.
Calculating the time, he realized he didn't have enough time to stop the attacker from accumulating the energy ball.
Without much choice, he had to redirect the attack to ensure the safety of his comrades and warships.
Flying to the sky while gathering light in his palms, he created a ball of light.
He didn't have experience doing this before so he met some difficulties while maintaining the ball shape and pouring his power into it at the same time.
As time passed, the ball enlarged and brightened.
When his light ball reached the climax, it spread countless radiant yellow rays.
This phenomenon attracted the Navy's attention.
When they looked at the sky, there were 3 suns shining.
Suddenly, one of the 3 suns moved towards them.
As soon as they saw the sun moving towards them, they realized something was very wrong.
"We are under attack." A voice rang out. Immediately, the whole fleet turned into panic.
Kizaru saw it in one of the future scenarios, he immediately hurled his ball of light towards it.
The ball was spinning and it collided with the energy ball.
From the navy's perspective view below, the second sun suddenly moved towards the first Sun. The collision caused a violent dazzling light.
The spin of the ball of light gradually changed the trajectory of the energy ball.
Kizaru knew that wasn't enough to completely change the future so he formed a sword of light on his hand.
He teleported near to it and hit it with the speed of light.
The trajectory of the energy ball was completely changed and it flew far away from the marine fleet.
The energy ball fell into the ocean.
No longer after that.
The energy ball exploded and a huge explosion appeared on the sea.
Like what he saw, the ball exploded upon contacting the surface of the ocean and it eradicated anything in its path.
The dazzling light blinded everything including Kizaru.
Kizaru raised his sword of light towards a certain direction and swung.
A loud sound rang out.
"Nice to meet, Admiral Kizaru. I have learned about your feat and achievement." A girlish voice rang out.
Kizaru turned. His face couldn't hide his surprise.
"Yamato. I also hear a lot about you. My friend always told me about you."
"Oh my. I don't know how to reply to your enthusiastic friend."
Kizaru couldn't help but sweating profoundly on his back.
When he saw Yamato floating in the sky, he immediately thought about the Golden Lion, Shiki.
He was a famous pirate back then.
Shiki was believed to be the person who was close to Roger, the Pirate King. And he is also the first person to escape Impel Down.
Flying pirate wasn't a good sign in the past.
"Look like you eat a good thing," Kizaru said and he completely forgot the energy ball that was created by Yamato. He thought Yamato ate Fuwa Fuwa no Mi which could make non-living beings float and she threw something similar to the mini nuclear bomb.
Kizaru vigilantly observed Yamato's expression and body.
"Yeah. I eat a lot of good things." Yamato misinterpreted Kizaru's words. When Yamato interpreted Kizaru's words, she thought about the time when she was at Wano. She indeed ate a lot of good food after Kaido's death.
After receiving a sincere reply from Yamato, Kizaru's hands were a little bit trembling.
Kizaru knew Yamato's swordsmanship from Akainu. Akainu was cut by Yamato without knowing when and how.
Looking at his shaking hands, he knew he would lose in a long fight.
"Funny." Kizaru's corner mouth slightly raised.
Facing this situation, he remembered his teacher's words.
Zephyz: "Don't rely on your devil fruit too much."
And the entity called a system living inside his head.
System: "I recommend you should improve other aspects."
"This is karma for my lazy." Kizaru's eyes turned seriously.
He swung his sword with the speed of light. Yamato intercepted his attack easily.
"The success of this campaign relied on me too much" Except for Kizaru who can fly, the other navy didn't have any air attack.
Even Akainu was bad at air attacks. His lava will be slow and fall down when reaching a certain height.
Aokiji was out of the question since his ice could freeze the entire ocean into ice. Although he could shoot an ice spike, Kizaru doubted such an attack like that was effective.
In addition to that, Kizaru had some understanding of Yamato's devil fruit. It made him prevent Yamato from touching warships.
Or else, the navy warship would float to the sky without stopping like a balloon.
"Your personality changes so fast. Did something knock into your mind?" Yamato smiled and said.
"Nothing. It's just my salary will be deducted after this."
