Chapter 119: Three Admiral Vs Yuichi
The Zanpakutō held at the Vice Admiral's throat glinted coldly in the moonlight. Yuichi looked down at the man, who was now sweating profusely. The officer's previous bravado had vanished, replaced by sheer terror. One inch forward, and his life would have ended.
Yuichi turned his head slightly to look at Aokiji. "Why ask me to stop?"
Aokiji frowned deeply. "Kill a Marine Vice Admiral, Yuichi, and you know the consequences."
In the Pirate World, killing a Vice Admiral was a line that could not be uncrossed. Even powerful pirates rarely did it because it triggered an automatic, relentless retaliation from Marine Headquarters to protect their prestige. It would mark Yuichi not just as a rogue, but as a priority target for extermination.
Yuichi understood. If he left now without killing a high-ranking officer, he might just be a wanted man. But killing a Vice Admiral made him an enemy of the institution itself.
"Yuichi! You raise your sword against Marines... There is truly no justice in your heart!"
A stern, gravelly voice cut through the tension. Yuichi sneered and turned to look in the other direction.
Admiral Akainu stood there, arms folded, glaring at Yuichi with contempt.
"Do you also think I should have stood still and let them execute me?" Yuichi asked.
"With your Haki, their attacks couldn't have hurt you," Akainu retorted.
Yuichi laughed. "Interesting. So I must be forced to defend passively and never fight back? Is that your absolute justice?"
Akainu didn't argue the philosophy. He stepped forward, magma dripping from his fist. "Hand over the Tailed Beast and leave the Marines. This is my last warning."
"Or what?" Yuichi squinted at him. "Do you think you can beat me?"
Akainu's eyes bulged with rage. "We'll find out." He glanced at the hostage. "Let him go."
"And if I don't?" Yuichi said coldly.
"You can try..."
Puff!!
The blade thrust forward, piercing the throat. Blood burst along the edge of the steel.
Aokiji opened his mouth to shout but fell silent. He watched as Yuichi slowly withdrew the Zanpakutō and swung it casually to clean the blood.
The corner of Akainu's mouth twitched violently.
Plop!
The Vice Admiral's body collapsed to the ground.
The surrounding soldiers took several steps back in horror. He actually did it. Without hesitation, right in front of Admiral Akainu. Yuichi had completely disregarded the threat.
Yuichi's gaze remained fixed on Akainu, his eyes piercingly cold.
Akainu gritted his teeth so hard they might crack. "Yuichi! If you hadn't killed him, I might have let you live. But now... you are unforgivable!"
Boom!
Hot magma erupted from Akainu's body. A scorching heatwave swept across the street, forcing the soldiers to retreat further.
Yuichi remained calm in the face of the magma storm. "Are you going to fight me? Are you really ready for that, Akainu?"
"I should be asking you that!" Akainu roared.
Shua~
A rapid breaking sound echoed.
In an instant—less than a blink—the tip of the Zanpakutō appeared right between Akainu's eyebrows.
Yuichi's slender fingers gripped the hilt, the snow-white blade emitting a freezing aura. Yuichi smiled coldly. "Are you sure?"
Akainu felt the cold steel against his skin and shivered involuntarily. Despite his power growth from the World evolution, compared to Yuichi, the gap was terrifying. He had only seen a blur before the blade was at his skull.
Akainu swallowed silently. He's fast.
"That's scary... Mr. Yuichi's current strength is truly monstrous..."
A strange, drawn-out voice drifted from behind. No one needed to look to know who it was.
"Kizaru," Yuichi said without turning around. "You want to block me too?"
Standing behind Yuichi, Kizaru had his hands in his pockets, but his right leg was raised, glowing with blinding light.
"I don't intend to block you, but if you kill an Admiral, I'll be in trouble too. Put down the sword, and I won't shoot."
The tension was suffocating. First Akainu, now Kizaru.
Yuichi glanced back sideways. "Really? Let's try then. Let's see who is faster."
The moment he spoke, Kizaru's leg snapped forward.
Light Speed Kick!
Simultaneously, Yuichi's Zanpakutō thrust forward. Akainu desperately leaped backward, barely escaping death, knowing his speed didn't match Yuichi's.
However, just as Yuichi moved, the air froze. Aokiji flashed beside him, grabbing his arm. "Yuichi, you can't kill Akainu!"
Bump!!
Kizaru's kick slammed into Yuichi's waist.
Boom!!
Yuichi was launched like a cannonball. He smashed through several houses, demolishing them one by one until he finally skid to a halt in the rubble.
Dust billowed into the air.
Kizaru retracted his leg, frowning as he looked at his colleagues. "Oops. I really hit him hard. I might have overdone it."
Rustle.
Yuichi stood up from the debris, patting the dust off his shoulder. He walked out of the ruins, back into everyone's sight.
The spot where Kizaru had kicked him... didn't even have a wrinkle on the clothes.
Aokiji sighed. Akainu's face was grim.
Kizaru looked genuinely surprised. "Are you alright? That defense is too amazing."
