Chapter 135: Saving Nico Robin (2/2)
--- Chapter 135 ---
Minamoto no Raikou is the heaven-sent child of Gozu Tennou, allowing her to wield divinity and authority over lightning. Facing an opponent that literally turned himself into light makes her slightly excited.
She has slayed countless mysteries from her living era, but this person before her piqued her interest again. In the end, accepting Huo Yuhao's offer to join his side isn't a horrible decision.
"Huh..." Kizaru was speechless.
This woman acts all mighty without showing her presence or aura like the blue-haired young man. Something is weird about these people.
Weirdly, Kizaru couldn't gauge their strengths for some reason, with the blue-haired young man being so annoying. He hissed inside because the weird palm strike still hurt.
Raikou pulled out her katana from the sheath and said, "Be ready."
"That weapon... How dangerous." Kizaru felt a shiver in his spine.
BOOM!
Inside the half-destroyed factory, Nico Robin's eyes widened in shock because the lewd-looking woman actually fought on equal ground with the famous Admiral Kizaru. She doesn't even show a sign of nervousness when dodging those light beams.
'What kind of reflex does she possess to dodge light?' Robin thought to herself for a moment.
Even though Robin has trained her observation skill since the tender age of 8, the fight is still hard to view for her. She could only see some sparks and shadows under the falling snow.
"Do you want to see the fight?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.
"I have a convenient ability that would help you."
Huo Yuhao's blue eyes glowed dimly, sharing the spiritual vision with Robin. She was startled because a totally new world seemed to expand instantly, and much information flooded her mind.
Spiritual Sharing is one of the abilities Huo Yuhao obtained when forming a contract with Tian Meng. It shares what he experiences through the spirit's eyes, allowing someone to witness a whole new realm above mortal standards.
Everything within a 10 kilometers radius appeared so detailed in Huo Yuhao's vision. Even the fast-paced fight between Minamoto no Raikou and Admiral Kizaru couldn't escape his eyes.
"Amazing..." Robin mumbled in amazement.
Admiral Kizaru traveled at the speed of light and tried to pressure Raikou with his speed, but the purple-haired woman casually parried and countered his every attempt.
Her katana is durable, despite not using Haki against one of the strongest Admirals. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
Yet, one small detail caught Robin's attention. When the two powerhouses exchanged a blow on each other, Kizaru gained cuts all over his light-elemental body.
"How is that even possible? She didn't even use her Haki."
"Logia Fruit user is invincible against someone without mastery over Armament Haki, but one slash from her injured Admiral Kizaru??"
"Pfft." Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh when hearing that. There is no such thing as invincible in this world, and Haki is just a manifestation of one's will.
Minamoto no Raikou is a famous warrior who has fought and slayed countless demons with her sword. She hasn't learned Haki, but every attack executed by her is imbued with a powerful willpower to win.
Clank! BOOM!
Raikou kicked the roof and smashed Kizaru's face with her fist. She aligned her katana and said, "Heavenly Ox's Crush."
Kizaru formed a light-concentrated shield and watched a bull made of purple lightning charging toward him. He couldn't dodge because the distance between them was merely 30 centimeters.
BAM!
"How annoying." Kizaru clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Raikou pushed her entire body and struck Kizaru like a mad bull, having the Admiral crash into the ground.
"Raikou-san, we have a limited time here. Can you finish him faster?" Huo Yuhao commented casually from the factory, leaving Robin and Kizaru speechless.
With a motherly smile, Raikou turned around and replied, "Hai, Honey~!"
"Huh?" Kizaru felt something dangerous awakening before his eyes.
The previously purple-haired woman got replaced with a raging beast that could destroy the world.
The admiral blinked just once. And He suddenly landed on the edge of the bridge with a dislocated shoulder.
CougH!
"What happened?" He covered his mouth and saw blood covering his hand.
Mad Enhancement is a skill that every Berserker possesses inherently.
Still, in Minamoto no Raikou's case, she doesn't lose in madness but enhances her maternal love for her master. She would do anything beyond the moral standard to satisfy her child(master).
In this state, her strength is insane.
'Return to my side immediately.'
"Right away, my liege." The shadowy dragon flapped his wings and blew the sky away, returning to the Tequila Wolf.
...
...
"Are you okay?" Huo Yuhao descended from the sky with a worried smile.
Raikou was embarrassed and returned, "I-I'm okay, honey."
Huo Yuhao sighed and grabbed Raikou's right hand, checking it for a moment before giving the purple-haired Berserker a senzu bean. He also checked her forehead because the Mad Enhancement might increase her body temperature excessively.
"F-Fweh!" Raikou blushed because of Huo Yuhao's sudden action.
Robin approached them warily and asked, "Just who are you two?"
"I'm here to rescue and bring you to my world. You are "randomly." chosen to be my subordinate. Quite lucky, I had to say." Huo Yuhao answered casually.
He is too lazy to explain everything, so Robin receives information about Dragon Nest and his goal. The young archaeologist was speechless because another world exists out there. Robin hasn't uncovered this world's secret, and a new one is coming to her face.
"Is it hard to swallow?" He chuckled playfully.
Robin smiled in defeat and replied, "It is hard to swallow, Sir Jack."
"Ah, my real name is Huo Yuhao. Jack Sparrow is just someone's name I knew in the past." Huo Yuhao shook his head gently.
"Anyway, are you going to follow me, Robin?"
"I know you have a pirate crew and others to follow, but it doesn't matter to me. I offered you to join Dragon Nest and return to this world when you are strong enough."
"You still have two years before meeting with your friends, no?"
"How did you even know about that?" Robin sighed weakly.
"Can I think about it first?" Her hesitation somewhat amuses Huo Yuhao, but he doesn't have much time.
"You have 20 minutes." Huo Yuhao replied while disappearing with Raikou.
...
...
Huo Yuhao hovered above the cloud and expanded his lesser Divine Sense to the world. He could feel everything around this globe and noticed nothing existed outside this planet.
Only the Sun, Moon, and some stars surrounded this planet.
Beyond that, there is only dark space.
"This place is like a prison." Huo Yuhao commented while searching for something interesting.
He scanned the world and saw a small island hidden from all places, covering his mouth. "This island is Laugh Tales?" He created a wormhole and stepped onto the island.
This place is nothing special, having some cliffs and trees on it.
Huo Yuhao walked into the island's center and saw a treasure chest with a pointer made of unknown wood. The wood has "This is one piece." written on it.
He shrugged and opened the treasure box.
A piece of paper.
Yes, just a piece of paper.
Huo Yuhao picked it and was amazed because the Voice of All Things made him hear something beyond normal senses. He slapped his face in amazement and laughed loudly.
"HAHA!"
"HAHAHAHA~!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!!"
"One piece is indeed real." Huo Yuhao placed the paper back into the treasure box, staring at it with a smile.
"However, it's useless for someone else besides me, A World Traveler. The people of this world will never be able to realize its true value."
"Gather all the keys and open the gate to a higher dimension."
"The world of One Piece is just small collective dust under a greater realm."
"The Realm of Gods."
