"That monster is really terrifying. Do you think Admiral Sengoku will be taken down?" Borsalino couldn't help but speak up, watching the massive fire dragon that continued to radiate terrifying heat even from tens of thousands of meters away.
"I didn't expect Kaido to still have such a terrifying move up his sleeve," Nicholas glanced at him, then suddenly appeared above Borsalino, bringing down his Haki-coated right leg like a battle axe.
"How dare you get distracted while fighting me?" Just as Kizaru was about to block, Nicholas's figure turned into lightning and instantly created a distance of a thousand meters, looking at him warily.
"You're really a cautious little guy, aren't you?" A calm voice suddenly sounded in Kizaru's ear, making his expression change instantly.
He hadn't expected someone to appear silently on a battlefield of this level without being noticed. He turned abruptly toward the source of the voice.
He saw a tall figure standing not far behind him, wearing a mask that seemed to be both crying and smiling, looking particularly eerie.
When did this person appear?
Kizaru hadn't sensed anything at all! If it weren't for Nicholas's sudden unusual behavior and the figure revealing itself, wouldn't that mean if this person had wanted to attack him, he wouldn't have realized until it was too late?
Feeling an unprecedented threat, Kizaru's body instantly turned into light and appeared thousands of meters away. Once he believed he had reached a safe distance, he reformed his body.
He looked at the figure with a solemn expression.
Who is this person?
He couldn't believe someone could approach him so silently, but considering Nicholas's reaction, Kizaru suddenly thought of something.
"Borsalino, what happened?" Fujitora, who couldn't see, was also puzzled. He sensed through his Haki that Nicholas had suddenly abandoned his attack and distanced himself.
"What!?" Kizaru turned to look at Fujitora incredulously.
Despite Fujitora's exceptional Observation Haki, he hadn't sensed the figure at all!
That person seemed like a ghost, appearing silently.
What the hell!
Is this person really that terrifying? Or do they have some special ability?
Soon, Kizaru noticed something else was wrong.
Why couldn't his own Observation Haki sense this person's presence?
They were clearly standing there, and he had heard their voice, but his Haki couldn't detect them, as if they were non-existent.
Nicholas's brow furrowed. He hadn't expected to see this person here.
Based on previous information, shouldn't this person be a minor figure at this point in time? Why were they here, and likely coming for him?
The situation suddenly became unfavorable.
"Albert Nicholas," the masked figure spoke, "I originally didn't plan to take action against you, but your fate seems to be completely shrouded in mist, making it impossible for me to see clearly. However, I am certain you are not that guy, Joyboy. I..."
Boom!
Before the figure could finish speaking, a thunderous sound rang out, and Nicholas's figure had already disappeared, reappearing tens of thousands of meters away.
Nicholas's sudden escape left the masked figure momentarily stunned, clearly showing that centuries of solitude had dulled her reactions. But she quickly regained her composure, and an intense, terrifying aura emanated from her, putting Kizaru Borsalino and Issho on high alert.
Especially Issho, who couldn't believe someone had managed to bypass his Observation Haki. Even a slight release of this aura made the two of them realize how terrifying this figure was.
Noticing the alertness of Borsalino and Issho, the figure only glanced at them before instantly vanishing. Her target was clearly Nicholas.
Meanwhile, on another battlefield, Sengoku, Kaido, and Sakazuki all looked in the direction where Nicholas's presence had vanished.
Their Observation Haki sensed that Nicholas had fled, leaving them puzzled since this was out of character for him.
At Mary Geoise, in the Pangaea Castle, in the Room of Authority.
The Five Elders were all gathered, but today's meeting had a particularly somber atmosphere.
"It's hard to believe that the Great One has personally intervened," the tall, thin elder with a long white beard remarked, looking out the window at the rebuilding of Mary Geoise. "When was the last time the Great One left Mary Geoise?"
"Who knows? It's been so long," the elder with a black hat and a sinister scar across his forehead said gravely. "But we had no choice. Nicholas is an anomaly in fate, one that even Im-sama cannot ignore."
"Indeed, it's just a pity we discovered him a bit too late, allowing Nicholas to grow to this extent," the blond elder sighed, then said seriously, "One mistake is enough. From now on, CP must strictly monitor the world for the appearance of that fruit. Since the Great One has taken action, the time for their full recovery will be delayed."
"And we must keep an eye on that scoundrel Roger. He brought something out from Laugh Tale," added the elder with two tufts of mustache and a receding hairline.
"We should be thankful that neither Joyboy's reappearance nor the awakening of Poseidon and Uranus is imminent. We still have time to set everything up," said the elder with glasses and a sword coldly. "Once those things appear, we'll eliminate them again. After all, those who haven't grown up are as fragile as roadside weeds."
"But can the Great One really handle Nicholas?" the elder with short blond hair and no tie asked with concern.
"Rest assured, if it's the Great One, there is no problem," the slender elder with a long beard turned around, smiling. "The only difference lies in whether they want to or not. Since the Great One has decided, no one in this world can defy their will."
[AN- Anyone angry because of Nicholas running like a rat, its call a tactical retreat😂😂😂 Do not drop this LN coz of this lol I know some of ya will😂😂]
