"Eh? Wait… his speed increased?!"
Kizaru's expression changed drastically.
His eyes widened in shock as he stared at the blond boy rushing toward him.
"How is this possible? His speed… it's several times faster than before!"
There was no time to think—Kizaru quickly lifted his leg to counter the incoming strike.
Their legs collided in an instant.
BOOM!!!
Flames and golden light clashed fiercely.
The shockwave from the impact shattered the surrounding ground, and the raging fire engulfed the area, turning everything into a sea of flames.
Golden light transformed into laser beams, sweeping out wildly in every direction.
"Damn… that hurts…"
Kizaru's face twisted.
"Armament Haki… and that Doa Doa no Mi ability…"
He watched the green blur dashing around the battlefield and felt an ominous chill.
"That sudden speed burst… and he's combining it with Rokushiki techniques too…"
"So fast… so fast…
My chakra is bursting out!
This is my body—one with even greater potential than Might Guy!"
Naruto's eyes burned with intensity as green chakra flames flared around him.
Having lived in the One Piece world for so long, his body had already adapted and transformed into that world's constitution.
Now, using Hachimon Tonkō (Eight Inner Gates), the enhancements were leagues above what Lee or Guy could achieve—
Because their physical bodies were simply on a different level.
"Now I can keep up with him…"
Naruto's eyes sparkled. Without hesitation, he charged toward Kizaru again:
"Fūton: Rasenshuriken!" (Wind Style: Rasenshuriken)
A spiraling, sky-blue shuriken formed in his left hand.
"Chidori!"
His right hand crackled with blinding lightning.
Then Naruto laughed boldly.
"Kizaru, have you ever been hit by wind and lightning together?"
As he spoke, he infused both techniques with Armament Haki—
Making them effective even against Logia users.
"Wind… and lightning?!"
Kizaru's pupils shrank.
"This is what ninja are… the ability to control multiple elements beyond their Devil Fruits…"
He quickly retreated, photons erupting from his palms:
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
Zing! Zing! Zing!
Countless photon blasts rained down like heavenly arrows.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The deafening explosions shook the very roots of the Yarukiman Mangrove tree.
But Naruto, with his new speed, dodged every beam with ease.
Like a streak of lightning, he shot forward and closed the distance.
Left hand: Rasenshuriken.
Right hand: Chidori.
He launched both at Kizaru without hesitation.
Kizaru didn't flinch.
He swung his right hand, forming a glowing golden blade from condensed photons.
From above, he looked down at Naruto—
"Ame no Murakumo!" (Sword of the Gathering Clouds)
The sword clashed with Naruto's Chidori.
Golden light and blue lightning split the battlefield in two.
"That's real lightning… and it's infused with Haki too…"
Kizaru's face turned grim.
Then—Naruto brought the Rasenshuriken toward Kizaru's chest.
"Wind…?"
Kizaru frowned, unsure of what the technique did.
He covered one hand in black Armament Haki and tried to grab it.
The moment their hands met—
Kizaru's expression shifted dramatically.
"How many wind blades are in this thing!?"
He felt countless minuscule wind blades slicing into his Haki-protected hand.
Had he not reinforced it, his body would've been shredded from the inside.
"Ugh!"
Kizaru retreated at high speed.
Naruto frowned, watching him pull back.
"Tch. Why are you running? Aren't you a Marine Admiral?
Don't you even have the guts to fight?"
Kizaru's lips twitched.
"I've never met a kid as terrifying as you."
"Hmph!"
Naruto snorted.
He formed hand seals—
"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" (Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu)
Poof! Poof! Poof!
A cloud of white smoke burst out, and hundreds of Narutos emerged.
In Kizaru's stunned gaze, the clones launched all kinds of attacks simultaneously—
"Hiken!" (Fire Fist)
"Rasengan!"
"Chidori!"
"Fūton: Dai Toppa!" (Wind Style: Great Breakthrough)
"Shigan!" (Finger Pistol)
"Rankyaku!" (Storm Kick)
"Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!" (Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet)
Fire, wind, lightning, water—
All kinds of elemental attacks rained down like a divine punishment.
Many clones even charged at Kizaru with taijutsu.
"This is what ninja are…"
Kizaru's pupils dilated.
"Clone techniques… combined with these skills…
This is a one-man Buster Call!"
—
Everyone on Sabaody Archipelago was stunned.
From far away, people stared at Tree #36 of the Yarukiman Mangroves.
It looked like the end of the world.
Explosions shook the island.
Various elemental attacks painted the skies—so much that the air itself seemed flooded with light.
It was visual overload.
Light pollution.
They could faintly make out dozens of identical blond boys chasing streaks of golden light.
"A 400 million bounty pirate…
Is Uzumaki Naruto really fighting a Marine Admiral?!"
A pirate stared in disbelief.
"No way… no one should be able to match an Admiral like that…"
"But he's not just matching him—he's actually winning!
What the hell are these attacks…?"
"He's going to tear the sky apart…"
"He's a monster.
He's not even losing ground—he's pushing back an Admiral…"
Everyone on the island—pirates, Marines, bounty hunters—
All felt a chill deep in their souls.
They were pirates of the Grand Line.
To them, Marine Admirals were walking disasters—just hearing they were coming could make entire crews surrender.
But now—
A 400 million bounty pirate was fighting one of them head-on.
"Unbelievable…
I didn't expect a legendary ninja to have this kind of power."
In Shakky's Rip-off Bar, Shakky stood at the door, calmly watching the distant lightshow.
Even from far away, she could see golden beams clashing with fire, and all kinds of strange elemental bursts.
Dark King Rayleigh, a true monster in his own right, used Kenbunshoku Haki to sense everything.
"That boy… Uzumaki Naruto…
Every single one of his clones has the power of a pirate with over 100 million bounty…"
Rayleigh took a deep breath.
"He's terrifying.
He alone is equivalent to an entire pirate crew."
"Do you think he'll win?"
Shakky asked.
Rayleigh shook his head and turned toward another part of the archipelago.
"No. Marine Headquarters reinforcements… have arrived."
