Chapter 889

The aged Bai Huzi, whose strength had declined with age, still felt far less oppressive and heavy than the hero Captain Kapu before him.

"Come on!"

Suppressing all thoughts in his mind, Hong Fa did not retreat or falter.

Even though he knew full well that the hero Captain Kapu's strength towered far above his own.

Yet, he still did not retreat!

Clenching his blade Griffen, black Armament Armor clung tightly to its edge.

Hong Fa took a deep breath and prepared himself.

In an instant,

Captain Kapu moved.

Raising his iron fists,

He stepped on Moon Step,

Treading through empty air.

Each step seemed to shatter space, emitting sharp, piercing sonic booms.

Boom! Boom! Boom! …

The piercing sonic booms rang in Hong Fa's ears.

Captain Kapu's speed was too fast.

With pure physical speed, he moved so swiftly that Hong Fa's naked eyes could not perceive or track him at all.

He could only use Kenbunshoku Haki to sense Captain Kapu's figure.

"Soru!"

Using the Six Powers' Soru, Captain Kapu's figure vanished into thin air as he stepped through empty space.

"Huh?!"

Seeing this, Hong Fa's pupils shrank slightly.

He pushed his Kenbunshoku Haki to its limit.

Trying to detect and pinpoint Captain Kapu's location.

His eyes spun wildly as Hong Fa searched for Captain Kapu's figure.

Unfortunately,

Captain Kapu had vanished as if erased from the world.

Leaving not the faintest trace behind.

"Are you looking for me?"

A faint voice sounded behind Hong Fa's head.

The words fell.

In an instant,

Hong Fa felt a chill run down his back.

A coldness surged from his soles straight to the crown of his head.

His hair stood on end,

He was seized by icy dread.

"When?!"

Hong Fa's pupils shrank, his face turned pale.

He did not need to turn—his Kenbunshoku Haki had already precisely sensed it.

A life force of terrifying magnitude had appeared behind him as if out of nowhere.

The speed was too fast!

So much so that…

It was like teleportation.

Leaving Hong Fa utterly unable to react.

To Hong Fa,

This might be even more terrifying than teleportation!

Teleportation still left traces.

At least,

At the moment the teleporter appeared,

Hong Fa could use his superior Kenbunshoku Haki to precisely sense the exact location of their emergence.

But,

Captain Kapu's pure physical speed made even Hong Fa's Kenbunshoku Haki struggle to catch him.

This speed was horrifyingly terrifying.

"Is this what a top-tier great sea powerhouse is like?"

"Strong! Absolutely terrifyingly strong!"

Hong Fa's spirit trembled violently.

He had no time to think further.

Captain Kapu had appeared,

Like a teleportation!

Leaving Hong Fa completely unprepared.

But, at this point.

He could only prepare for the worst.

Clenching his right fist,

Armored in Armament Color, his blade Griffin was instinctively and without hesitation swung backward.

Shh!

An incredibly sharp slash was about to erupt instantly from the blade.

This slash was a terrifying strike capable of splitting the sea.

The slash from Red Hair was naturally no weak attack.

Moreover...

Red Hair knew better than anyone else.

Today,

just how terrifying the enemy he faced truly was!

Precisely because he understood this too well.

Therefore,

he dared not slacken or grow careless.

The moment he struck, he gave it everything!

If he held back...

Then

the one who would die would surely be him!

Even so,

even if he gave his all, he had no absolute guarantee he could escape unscathed.

Under these circumstances,

unless Red Hair had lost his mind, he would never hold back.

Otherwise,

he would exert every ounce of his strength!

But before Red Hair's slash could land,

Captain Kapu's right hand had already firmly gripped Red Hair's arm.

He forcibly intercepted the slash about to be unleashed from Red Hair's blade Griffin.

At this moment,

the intercepted blade...
