Super Card System - Chapter 507

Chapter 507: Rematch with Kizaru

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone!

Ian had been watching as Urouge knelt down and bowed to the ground, thinking that Urouge, like the four priests, was a worshiper of Enel. However, suddenly, everything changed!

Well, a surprise attack was somewhat understandable to Ian. Perhaps it was Urouge’s way of lowering Enel’s guard. But what surprised Ian the most was how the hell could Enel be hit by that massive stone pillar all of a sudden!?

“Damn it! Urouge, what are you doing!?” Hawkins and Scratchmen Apoo snapped back to their senses and, seeing Urouge trying to pursue and continue to attack Enel, they moved together to block him. Hawkins shouted at Urouge, “Our enemy now is Admiral Kizaru!”

Enel was Ian’s subordinate, which Hawkins and the others had just realized. This long-eared guy could match Kizaru’s speed, which was quite a rare feat. Hawkins and the others were afraid that Urouge’s attack on Enel would lead to Ian retaliating and eliminating them as accomplices. How could they not panic?

“Well, well, what a surprise!” Kizaru descended from mid-air, with a mocking grin on his face. “Pirates will always be pirates; they’re having an internal conflict at a time like this?”

“Step aside!” Urouge swung his massive stone pillar at Hawkins and Scratchmen Apoo, who were in his way. He seemed somewhat frantic, and after two clashes with Hawkins and Scratchmen Apoo, Scratchmen Apoo was accidentally hit by the tip of Urouge’s stone pillar. Suddenly, he lost all his strength and was sent flying by Urouge!

“Hmm!?” Ian noticed this anomaly and quickly focused his gaze. It was then that he discovered that the tip of Urouge’s stone pillar had a section that appeared even darker and sturdier.

“Sea… Sea Stone!?” Ian immediately realized, his eyes widening.

My goodness, where did this peculiar monk Urouge find such a large piece of Sea Stone? And he even embedded it into his weapon!?

No wonder Enel had been struck solidly earlier. His Mantra must have detected Urouge’s attack, but Enel had probably underestimated him, thinking that Urouge’s attack couldn’t harm his elemental body. Who would have expected that Urouge’s weapon was equipped with Kairoseki, the natural enemy of Devil Fruit users?

Having noticed the Kairoseki, Ian also realized that the black gloves Urouge wore on his hands were not ordinary boxing gloves. They likely had the function of reducing the impact of the Kairoseki on Urouge himself.

Regardless of the enmity between Urouge and Enel, they couldn’t allow this guy to continue going berserk.

Ian’s figure moved swiftly, and he suddenly appeared in front of Urouge. Urouge, caught up in his emotions, swung his stone pillar toward Ian as soon as he saw a figure appear before him.

However, Ian raised his hand and directly caught Urouge’s stone pillar. The position he held was precisely where the Kairoseki was located.

Ian grasped the stone pillar, intending to wrest the weapon from Urouge. Naturally, Urouge wouldn’t allow Ian to succeed, and he exerted all his strength. The muscles in his arms bulged, and the veins on his arms became prominent.

The two of them entered a brief deadlock. Just at that moment, X Drake made his move, delivering a powerful kick to Urouge’s face from the side, sending him flying.

This time, Urouge naturally couldn’t maintain his grip on the stone pillar, and Ian managed to seize it.

However, as Ian had just obtained Urouge’s stone pillar, he suddenly swung his arm, sending the stone pillar with the Sea-Prism Stone end straight toward Kizaru!

At this moment, Kizaru stood where Scratchmen Apoo had been positioned. When Scratchmen Apoo had been flung into Kizaru’s location by Urouge during the internal dispute, Kizaru took advantage of the opportunity to deal with a Supernova first.

He raised his foot, and the sole emitted a piercing flash as he aimed to stomp on Scratchmen Apoo!

If Kizaru succeeded in this, Scratchmen Apoo would be severely injured, if not killed. It was precisely at this moment that the stone pillar Ian had thrown came hurtling toward Kizaru!

Not only had Enel failed to anticipate the Sea-Prism Stone on the stone pillar, but Kizaru was equally taken by surprise!

Furthermore, the fact that Ian had directly grabbed the stone pillar with his bare hand, unafraid of the Sea-Prism Stone, was something Kizaru was not aware of.

He made a mistake identical to Enel’s. Initially, he had observed the stone pillar Ian had thrown without detecting Haki around it. He had considered relying on his elemental body to let the stone pillar pass through. Yet, at the moment when the stone pillar approached him, he too fell victim to it!

Boom! Kizaru was sent flying, crashing into the ground.

Hawkins and the others watched this scene with their eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets!

In the previous encounter between Enel and Kizaru, it could only be described as a stalemate. However, the moment Ian, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, intervened, Kizaru was injured directly!

After being sent flying, the stone pillar inserted itself straight into the ground, not far from where Scratchmen Apoo lay. The end of the Sea-Prism Stone was embedded in the ground, to the extent that even when Kizaru stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, he still hadn’t fully grasped what had just happened.

“What on earth just happened?” A wave of confusion swept over Kizaru. This was the second time he had been injured by Ian, the first being on Salamis Island when he was struck by Kairoseki bullet. Now, he had been wounded again, and he couldn’t make sense of it!

Poor Kizaru, he doesn’t know, actually this second time is…

Kizaru was a cautious individual, even within the ranks of the Marines. He preferred to assess the situation before making decisions. Now, his adversary had swiftly shifted from Enel to Ian, and Kizaru had been injured right off the bat, which left him on high alert.

Hawkins, Drake, and Scratchmen Apoo all stood up at this point, positioning themselves behind Ian. Scratchmen Apoo clutched his chest and spoke to Ian, “I never expected to be saved by one of the Seven Warlords. It seems I owe you a favor!”

“Let’s fight side by side!” Drake held a rapier and said, “In our current predicament, we won’t escape unless we can push Kizaru back!”

Hawkins nodded and emotionlessly stated, “Lord Ian, we shall be responsible for containing him!”

Ian glanced over his shoulder and noticed that Enel had already risen to his feet. He stood beside the fallen Urouge, apparently engaged in a conversation with him. From the look of it, Enel seemed temporarily unable to engage with Kizaru.

Although Ian had serious doubts about whether the three Supernovas, Hawkins, Drake, and Scratchmen Apoo, could effectively hold back Kizaru, he didn’t want to refuse their help. He chose not to say anything more.

“Let the battle rap begin!” Scratchmen Apoo began playing his arm, as he was part of the Longarm Tribe, and he seemed to possess a musical Paramecia Devil Fruit ability. Various parts of his body functioned as instruments to create music. As a highly rhythmic rap started resonating, Ian suddenly felt his blood flow accelerating, and he became energized.

Not just him, but even Hawkins and Drake felt the same way. Both had rapidly transformed; Hawkins assumed his demonic form, while Drake became a massive Allosaurus. Under the influence of Scratchmen Apoo’s music, their speed appeared to increase significantly. With one on the left and the other on the right, they swiftly charged towards Kizaru.

“Did you think that teaming up could handle me?” Kizaru observed their approach without any signs of nervousness. When both Hawkins and Drake initiated their attacks, he used his Geppo technique to leap high above them.

His foot emitted a bright flash as he kicked in mid-air, releasing a more powerful laser beam that struck the positions where Hawkins and Drake stood. A thunderous explosion echoed, and the two transformed Supernovas were instantly blasted away.

However, at this moment, Ian had already reached Kizaru’s rear. He spread his Flames of Wrath wings and flew in the air, delivering a downward slash towards Kizaru.

Kizaru swiftly twisted his body, summoning his Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven. Yet, when he attempted to parry Ian’s strike, he realized that Ian’s attack had been a feint. The Senbonzakura was retracted, allowing Kizaru’s Ama no Murakumo to slash into Ian’s shoulder.

Oddly enough, after taking the slash, Ian remained completely unharmed. Instead, his arms shook violently.

In the next instant, a bloody gash appeared on Kizaru’s body.

“What… What happened!?” Kizaru exclaimed. He hadn’t seen Ian make a move at all, so how had he suddenly been injured?

Moreover, the location of the slash wound was on his shoulder blade?

Only Ian understood what had occurred. He had just utilized Orochi’s ability: “Rolling and Redirecting.” It could directly rebound one attack from the opponent.

Kizaru’s Ama no Murakumo was, in essence, a manifestation of his Glint-Glint Fruit’s light-based power. To match physical swords, it undoubtedly had to be imbued with Haki. Consequently, this was akin to Kizaru injuring himself!

During the battle on Salamis, Ian hadn’t obtained Orochi’s Card, so these new abilities were entirely unknown to Kizaru. Their immediate application had proven highly effective!

Seizing the moment when Kizaru was distracted by the injury, Ian immediately flapped his wings and plunged into Kizaru’s embrace. He extended his left hand and thrust it toward Kizaru’s chest.

However, Kizaru was still Kizaru. The moment Ian crashed into his embrace, Kizaru sensed the impending danger. He instantly drew the Celestial Cloud Sword horizontally to block Ian, simultaneously using Geppo to retreat.

He retreated swiftly, and Ian’s hand grazed him, just missing Kizaru’s striped suit.

Nonetheless, while Ian’s hand had missed its mark, his posture remained unchanged. He continued to point ahead at Kizaru. In the next moment, an entirely unexpected burst of thunder and flames suddenly surged from the ground, directly hitting Kizaru.

Flame Descent! It released a burst of flame with lightning speed, an attack that Kizaru was unprepared for.

As a result, Kizaru was engulfed in flames and plummeted from mid-air.
