Journey to One Piece

252. I told you to stop

The others straw hats were very far and there was a reason for that. These two had been fighting in extreme fast speed and there were none who could keep up with that speed. Even the CP agents could moon walk in such long distances like Sanji and Kizaru. They even fought in air.

Zoro was trying his best on Shunpo and even Ussop was using his arrows to stop the progress of Kizaru but he was proving to be too fast.

But as the fight went on, Sanji's Adolla Burst surged within him, a fiery core of strength that refused to be quenched. He could feel the power, the connection with the power that had been evading him for such a long time.

The Adolla Burst.

The more he fought, the more he could feel the connection and with each kick he could feel it close. . With a fierce roar, he tapped into his Adolla Burst's unique ability, using his connection to flames to propel himself forward at blinding speed.

Sanji's feet lit up flames and this time with blue flames and his speed started to rise suddenly.

"You are surprising one, Vulcan feet." Kizaru said as he kicked Sanji and threw him off the air. Sanji crashed on the ground while forming a crater. But he landed on his feet which continued on the blue flames. He again burst out of the ground to meet Kizaru. In an instant, Sanji's form became a streak of light, his movements surpassing the boundaries of human capability. Kizaru's eyes widened in surprise as Shinra's speed matched his own light-speed attacks.

And not only Kizaru, everyone around looked at the fight between Kizaru and Sanji with wide eyes. One yellow and one blue.

"He is as fast as Kizaru-san."

"How is this possible? Did he also consume a light fruit?"

"Idiot, Devil fruits can't be replicated."

"Are you sure about that? Haven't Vegapunk been able to copy fruits in the New World."

The discussion and whispers were rampant in the battlefield and everyone was in awe. Sengoku and others were more surprised about this speed of Vulcan feet. Each one of them was proving to be a monster. The battlefield erupted in a symphony of sparks and flames as the two forces clashed with cataclysmic intensity.

Sanji's feet ignited with roaring flames as he unleashed his signature move, "Rapid Inferno Shot" Each kick struck like a meteor, leaving trails of searing heat in their wake. Kizaru's light-based defenses faltered against the onslaught, and for the first time, doubt flickered across the Admiral's usually composed expression.

Though the haki was there along with the Observation, but the attack speed was more than he anticipated. This was troublesome.

But Kizaru was no ordinary opponent. With a luminous grin, he retaliated with his own attack,

"Yasakani no Magatama,"

Conjuring blazing orbs of light that hurtled toward Sanji like celestial projectiles. Sanji's Adolla Burst allowed him to anticipate the trajectory, and with a swift spin, he unleashed his "Scorching Tornado Kick." The fiery vortex clashed with the light orbs, creating a brilliant explosion that sent shockwaves across the battlefield.

As the dust settled, the combatants faced each other once more. Sanji's breathing was ragged, his body battered but his spirit unbroken. Kizaru's expression had shifted from nonchalance to respect, recognizing the fire within the young man's heart.

Kizaru didn't engage with Sanji and backed off because he had landed right beside Zoro and Jozu had also appeared near Sanji. His window of killing Sanji was closed as any further attack would be met by the weird attacks of Zoro and Jozu's diamond body.

It was nigh impossible to kill Sanji at this point. Sanji was panting as he was almost on his knees. Going light speed, disintegrating his body and then reintegrating was too much stress and strain. He was exhausted. But he finally could get hold of the Adolla Burst.

"Baka, you would have died you know."

"But I can say I faced an Admiral, can't I?"

"But we are not a match for him yet."

"Yes, but one day we will."

Ussop meanwhile was a bit angry that his shots were not capable at all from stopping Kizaru and soon a bone mask on his right eye appeared. He unleashed a furry of shots on the battlefield and each shot was followed by a huge explosion. And no matter how many marines got close to him, he would evade them with sonido or stand on the air.

As the battle went on the marines were not in a very good position and they were being taken down by the straw hats pretty easily. But for the Whitebeard pirates, it too wasn't a very good experience. Whitebeard had already being stabbed or shot at by this point and the wounds have started to build up slowly.

Thankfully Sabo and Luffy were reaching the platform fast. Oz had gone forward to take down the platform but Doflamingo was having none of it and cut one of his leg which made him trip and land. Akainu was also involved in this. But his fall helped Luffy and Sabo as it stalled the emergence of the huge wall, which would have separated the platform from the rest of the battlefield.

As they crossed the wall, Sengoku got scared a bit seeing how fervent and powerful they were and knew something had to be done.

"Execute Portgas D. Ace." Sengoku shouted as two executioners had already been brought and they were new. They were the backups of the executioners and unlike the original story, there was no Mr. 3 here and so the executioners didn't hesitate at all.

The moment the order was given. Both of them took their blade and swung at Ace.

"ACE!!"

"No.."

"My son."

"Stop it."

Everyone seeing from far shouted at the top of their lungs. Luffy looked at the platform and shouted.

"I told you to stop it, didn't I?"

Sabo who was ready to open a portal and send Luffy over stopped and looked at Luffy with wide eyes.
