Chapter 318

Kizaru curled his lips: "Whatever. Anyway, there were only two when I arrived. The other two can go wherever they want."

"Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about the Holy Knights. You've been watching for a while, what do you think of their strength?"

"One is more terrifying than the other. Every one of them is a monster!"

"In your mouth, everyone is a monster. Can you be serious?"

Hearing this, Kizaru smiled Move Move Like a chrysanthemum: "Well, let's see. That burly guy is no worse than Sakazuki. Those two over there are slightly inferior, but they can still be called Admiral-level combatants."

"As for the others, they're just average, a bit stronger than Vice Admirals."

Karl raised an eyebrow: "Admiral candidates?"

Kizaru shook his head: "That depends on who you compare them to. If compared to Momousagi and Chaton, they're still a bit lacking, but they're about the same."

Karl rubbed his chin and sighed: "That's also terrifying. Three Admiral-level combatants and six Admiral-candidate-level combatants. They truly are the Celestial Dragons' trump card!"

"Trump card? Not really, they're far worse than you, kid. You're the real monster. No, wait, Navy Heroes are all monsters."

"Dragon's Breath!!!"

Staff Staff Sabo released Dragon's Breath once again, forcing the Holy Knights to stop. Then Staff Staff Sabo quickly said to Karasu: "Mr. Karasu, a Navy Admiral has arrived. This is no place to stay. Let's fight and retreat!"

"Mm!"

Karasu backhanded a pile of coal ash, and the entire area was instantly shrouded in it, making it impossible to see one's own fingers.

"Not good, they want to run!"

The leader of the Holy Knights narrowed his eyes, slowly closed them, and used Observation Haki to sense the movements of Staff Staff Sabo and Karasu.

"Flame Dragon Claw Fist · Flame Dragon King!"

Swish, swish~ Following Staff Staff Sabo’s movements, a fire dragon roared toward the front, igniting everything around it.

And this move also created a strange chemical reaction with the coal ash Karasu had scattered.

As everyone knows, coal is a combustible material.

Boom, boom~

A heatwave struck, and the entire area was instantly ignited. A massive amount of heat erupted, causing the air to expand instantly.

Boom~

With a loud bang, a small black mushroom cloud rose from Mary Geoise.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~ The sound of howling wind struck. Karl snapped his fingers lightly, and a pale golden protective shield blocked the shockwave and heat in front of him and Kizaru.

Kizaru patted his chest: "That was close. I almost died from that."

Karl: ......

When the mushroom cloud dissipated, the Holy Knights at the center of the explosion were all covered in soot. Although none of them died, they were quite seriously injured. At least their sacred uniforms had become tattered, losing all the demeanor of Holy Knights.

"Damn it, where are they?"

Nonsense, after causing such a big commotion, did they expect them to stand there and look at their results? Of course, they would run away directly!

The leader of the Holy Knights brushed the dust off his body and took a deep breath: "No need to chase. They have already escaped far away."

"This mission... failed."

Hearing the leader say this, the other knights fell silent.

Then they saw Karl and Kizaru walking over with smiles on their faces.

"As expected of the Celestial Dragons' strongest trump card, too strong. Even such an attack couldn't kill you. Truly worthy of being Holy Knights. I admire you, I admire you."

Kizaru immediately followed up: "Who says it isn't! If I hadn't been standing far away just now, the aftermath of this explosion alone would have been enough to burn me to death!"

One old and one young, singing in harmony, made several knights' lips tremble slightly, wishing they could fight these two bastards for three hundred rounds on the spot.

"Are you here specifically to make sarcastic remarks? If so, please leave! We still have to pursue the Revolutionary Army."

The leader of the Holy Knights glanced at Karl coldly, then walked past him, and the others followed.

"Good luck!"

After they walked far away, Kizaru pouted and shouted: "Hey, do you really not need help?"

"My speed is very fast, you know! Maybe I can help you find that group of revolutionaries!"

The Holy Knights ignored Kizaru and just quickened their pace and left.

Kizaru curled his lips: "These people are really Move Move Like Sakazuki!"

"Karl, you saw it. I offered to help, but they didn't want it. When Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan brings it up later, you have to testify for me!"

Karl gasped. It really is you, Kizaru!

"Hoo~ Finally escaped."

Staff Staff Sabo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still feeling lingering fear. When he saw Karl and Kizaru in Mary Geoise just now, his heart skipped a beat.

Kizaru, the fastest man in the world. If he got entangled with him, that would be very troublesome.

Karl, known as the strongest man in the world after Whitebeard’s death. His strength was unfathomable. Since becoming famous, he had never been defeated. Even the Four Emperors couldn't take advantage of him.

Although the Revolutionary Army had an unclear relationship with this Navy Hero, those were all hearsay. Mr. Dragon had never said that Karl was on their side.

"Morley, how is Mr. Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma?"

"Still the same. No emotional fluctuations, no consciousness."

Staff Staff Sabo sighed, unable to forget about Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma.

"Let's talk about it when we get back! Everyone is waiting for our safe return!"

Swish~

"In such a hurry to leave?"

A flash of golden light, and Karl made a brilliant entrance.

Staff Staff Sabo’s pupils constricted instantly, and the others were no better, immediately preparing for battle. Everyone around held their breath, their hearts pounding.

"Haha, don't be nervous. I'm not here to cause you trouble."

Staff Staff Sabo clenched his fists and asked cautiously: "Then what does your Excellency want? If you want Mr. Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma back, that's impossible. He is our comrade, and I will never watch him become a mount for the Celestial Dragons again!"

Karl waved his hand: "I have no interest in Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma. On the contrary, I'm here to give you a big gift."

Karl reached into his pocket, took out something black that looked Move Move Like a USB drive, and threw it to Staff Staff Sabo.

"This is a standby chip. Plug it into the port on his neck, and it can terminate all of Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma’s missions, putting him in a standby state."

"Missions? What other missions does Mr. Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma have?"

Karl spread his hands: "I don't know about that, but he does have some unknown secret missions. If you take him back Move Move Like this, once the mission is activated, he will return to Mary Geoise regardless of anything."

"So, this thing can keep him quiet for a while, until you retrieve his memories as a human."

Staff Staff Sabo stared intently at the black chip in his hand and bowed to Karl: "Thank you, Mr. Karl. Although I don't know why you would do this, thank you."

"Quite polite. Alright, no need to say these things. You should leave quickly! By the way, say hello to Dragon for me."

Staff Staff Sabo’s pupils constricted, looking at Karl in disbelief.

But Karl had already turned into a stream of light and disappeared......
