Kizaru squinted, glanced at Kadora, and said calmly, "Just wait!"
Then he turned his head and ignored Kadora and the others.
Weaklings, unable to even hold back the silver-haired one from the side, could only fight with Ah Hua and the others. They were completely useless to him.
Since they couldn't help him or share his burden, he naturally wouldn't be polite to Kadora and the others.
"We can only wait for Vice Admiral Garp to come."
He dared not act rashly.
Staring at the battle between the red and green figures in the distance, Kizaru stroked his chin, lost in thought.
He could feel that the green figure was clearly not using their full strength.
The Goro Goro no Mi was indeed worthy of being called the strongest Logia.
He could sense the violent lightning within Gu Yina's body, as well as that hidden sharpness.
Even though he already knew from Kuzan that Gu Yina was no longer the same as before, seeing it for himself still filled him with awe.
"Truly terrifying!"
...
Inside the auction house.
Kong Tai and Rayleigh stood on the stage with relaxed expressions, calmly watching Ah Hua and the other two overpower and slaughter the pirates.
"Hmm!"
At this moment, both Kong Tai and Rayleigh raised their heads and looked towards the outside of the auction house.
Even with the wall blocking their view, they could sense that golden light.
"Are they here?"
Recalling his gaze, Kong Tai turned his head to look at Rayleigh, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Old man, we'll have our spar later. I'll go deal with Uncle Pikachu first."
"Hahahahahaha!!"
As he spoke, he burst into laughter.
For some reason, the thought of Kizaru made him want to laugh.
The last time they were on Ore Island, he could only fight that guy to a draw even when using his full strength.
He didn't know if that guy used his full strength on Ore Island, but if this guy was the same as ore this time, he would have to suppress him!
"Hehehehe!!"
The thought of Kizaru's frustrated expression made him even happier.
"You think you can show off, but how can you show off this time?"
"Hmm!" Rayleigh nodded. "I'm not in a hurry. Be careful, Kizaru is still very strong, and we don't know if the Marines have any backup."
After speaking, he raised his wine bottle and took a gulp.
The wine was found in the auction house. Although it wasn't a particularly famous vintage, it was still good.
This guy was an old drunkard, and in terms of how much of a drunkard he was, he was no less than Kong Tai.
Seeing Rayleigh drinking with relish, Kong Tai licked his slightly dry lips and smiled faintly.
Then he untied the wine gourd from his waist, clinked it against the wine bottle extended by Rayleigh, and then tilted his head back and took a few large gulps.
"Hmm! CP0 is here too."
At this moment, both of them simultaneously stopped drinking, exchanged a look, Kong Tai nodded, and turned around, walking towards below the stage.
"Then, old man, you just watch the show. I'll go meet my old friend."
With one step, his body instantly disappeared from its original spot and appeared beside Robin and Brook.
He cast a deep look at Fiso, nodded to his companions, and then stepped forward again, his figure disappearing once more, appearing at the broken roof outside the auction house.
Raising his wine gourd, he looked at Gu Yina and Ace fighting, took a big drink, and stepped forward again, appearing in the middle of the battlefield.
*Bang—!*
The two sides fighting simultaneously stopped, then retreated a few steps. Gu Yina performed a sword flourish, and with a "ding," she sheathed her sword.
Then she took a step forward, grabbed Kong Tai's arm, and said gently, "Kong Tai, why did you come out?"
"Haha!!"
Kong Tai turned his head to look at Gu Yina and chuckled, "Didn't our old friend arrive?"
"Oh..."
Following Kong Tai's gaze, she also saw Kizaru standing on the roof in the distance, along with Kadora and the others wearing masks.
Although she hadn't used her full strength in her fight with Ace, she hadn't been too distracted, so she didn't know Kizaru had arrived.
She glanced at him and then ignored him.
If it were in the past, facing an Admiral, she might have been a little nervous.
But now that she had reached that level, although she would definitely lose after a prolonged battle, an Admiral could no longer put pressure on her.
Even Kizaru, who was the fastest.
"This guy said he came looking for you."
Gu Yina withdrew her gaze and looked at Ace, who was standing beside them, watching them warily.
"His strength is decent. I'll play with him for a bit."
"Hmm!"
Kong Tai nodded and looked at Ace.
"You must be Ace! I know you."
The moment Ace appeared, Kong Tai felt an invisible pressure that set off alarms all over his body.
Looking at Kong Tai's face, which was even younger than his own, and his sky-blue eyes that seemed like a starry sky, his pupils constricted, and he felt a wave of awe.
As far as he knew, this guy in front of him was a year younger than him.
This strength...
Even without fighting, just standing there made him feel a prickling sensation all over.
He had only ever felt this way from his own father.
"Hmm!"
Ace nodded. "I know you too, Silver Hair·Kong Tai." kanShuWu.ξà
His goal for this trip was Kong Tai, but when Kong Tai stood before him, he lost the urge to challenge him.
Having roamed the New World and challenged Whitebeard hundreds of times, he knew too well the gap between himself and peak powerhouses like Whitebeard.
If he hadn't seen Kong Tai in person, he might still have had the thought of challenging him, but upon seeing him, that thought vanished.
After all, he came for a spar, not to be beaten.
He could find enjoyment in fighting Gu Yina, but when he thought about fighting Kong Tai, all he could imagine was being passively beaten.
He wasn't stupid enough to engage in a fight that offered no enjoyment.
"Haha!!"
As if sensing Ace's rapidly changing mindset, Kong Tai smiled slightly, then withdrew his gaze, nodded to Gu Yina, "I'll go have some fun with Uncle Pikachu. You guys continue."
"Hmm!"
Gu Yina nodded and let go of Kong Tai.
Kong Tai looked up, nodded at Ace, and stepped forward, his figure disappearing from its original spot.
Ace stared at Kong Tai's silent disappearance and gasped.
Then he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the roof in the distance.
He knew Kizaru, and he knew CP0, but Kong Tai's figure had instantly crossed such a long distance to appear before Kizaru and the others.
Such speed, no, it wasn't speed.
When Kong Tai first appeared, he hadn't seen clearly, but this time, it was right before his eyes, and he saw it very clearly – he had simply vanished.
In such a situation, the only thing he could think of was "space manipulation."
No wonder this guy's bounty had skyrocketed like a rocket. If space manipulation appeared in the hands of a weakling, it would only be a life-saving skill, serving no other purpose.
But if this thing appeared in the hands of a strong person, it would be an incredibly terrifying ability.
Imagine if the Four Emperors, or even an Admiral, possessed such an ability, then one could understand Kong Tai's terrifying nature.
