One Piece Space Fruit - Chapter 37
A beam of golden light cut through the sky, shooting straight toward Evan and his companions.
“ROOM: Barrier!”
Evan hastily expanded a spherical space, forming a spatial barrier to block the golden laser’s attack.
The dazzling golden light arrived in an instant, shattering the still-forming spatial barrier and then hitting Crow directly.
The golden laser exploded on Crow’s armored body, causing him to howl in pain. He was knocked back and fell from the sky.
Evan, along with the others on Crow’s back, tumbled down as well.
Snow’s feet emitted black flames, allowing her to step on the air and gradually lower herself while carrying Evan and Night Emperor.
“Tsk tsk, have you ever experienced being kicked by light?”
A man draped in a Marine coat stood in the air. He was tall and lean, with black curly hair, and was wearing a yellow and white striped suit. His face was adorned with a circle of beard, and his lips curled slightly upward, giving him a somewhat sleazy appearance.
But Evan couldn’t muster a smile.
“I didn’t expect the Marines to react so quickly.”
Evan sighed deeply. Most importantly, the Marines had sent Vice Admiral Borsalino (at this time, Kizaru had not yet been promoted to Admiral).
Borsalino, a Logia-type user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, would become one of the Marines’ top forces, code-named “Kizaru.”
His strength was on par with contemporaneous Admirals (Aokiji and Akainu), and no one could match his speed, making him an absolutely top-tier fighter.
With Borsalino here, escaping would be difficult.
Evan hadn’t expected the prison break to be this arduous. With Borsalino arriving, along with Magellan and Shiliew of the Rain from Impel Down, they were facing the combined power of nearly three Admirals!
And Evan was almost out of strength, making it hard to continue fighting.
All circumstances were against him!
It was as if even the heavens didn’t want him to leave Impel Down!
“Disciple, give me the sword.” Night Emperor sighed his aged voice firm. “I’ll hold off the Vice Admiral for you. Use the time to escape!”
Evan’s heart trembled as he looked at Night Emperor.
Night Emperor’s eyes were bright, showing none of the decrepitude of his old, sickly body. His gaze was sharp and spirited.
Evan understood that Night Emperor was ready to die in battle.
“As long as you can pass on the Dark Night Flow, I will have no regrets in this life!” Night Emperor said, reaching for the sword in Evan’s hand.
Evan gently shook his head, stepped forward with the sword, and walked forward.
“Disciple!”
Night Emperor’s voice trembled as he watched Evan’s back.
“Master, your era has passed. Let me fight now.”
Evan smiled, pointing the tip of his sword at Borsalino in the sky, showing no fear.
“If you want to fight, then let’s fight!”
His fighting spirit surged, the plant tattoo on his chest resonating, channeling life force into his weary body.
“My, my. Young man, your tone is quite frightening!”
Borsalino in the sky glanced at him in surprise, his left foot turning into a blinding golden light.
“Light Speed Kick!”
Borsalino’s body transformed into a golden beam, falling at terrifying speed, as fast as light itself.
“So fast!”
Evan couldn’t catch Borsalino’s figure, only seeing golden flashes before the light-speed kick was about to land.
Evan teleported to dodge, and the light-speed kick hit the ground, exploding with golden light, shattering the earth and sending debris flying.
“Hmm? Teleportation?”
Borsalino reappeared, scanning the surroundings in confusion, then turned into golden beams of light to chase the now-airborne Evan.
The speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit was unmatched in the world!
“Dark Night: Night Shine!”
Evan swung his sword toward the golden light,
The blade emits black lightning that tore through the sky. “Light Speed Kick!”
Borsalino’s body emerged from the golden light in mid-air, delivering a light-speed kick that clashed with the black sword’s energy.
Sss!
The black sword energy and golden light burst, scattering like sparks, dispelling the surrounding mist.
“Radiate!”
A golden beam shot from Borsalino’s fingertip aimed at Evan.
Evan blocked with his sword. The golden light hit the black blade, causing it to vibrate violently and explode, forcing Evan backward.
Evan quickly stabilized himself in the air but saw another golden light nearby. His Observation Haki alerted him, but the light speed was too fast to avoid.
“Light Speed Kick!”
Borsalino appeared behind Evan, his foot glowing with golden light, kicking into Evan’s back at light speed.
Boom!
Evan was kicked down from the sky and landed on the ground. Stones scattered as he rolled, leaving a long mark on the concrete floor.
Evan took a sharp breath, the light-speed kick nearly hitting his injured back, the pain spreading throughout his body. If not for his advanced body, that kick would have knocked him out.
“Poison Dragon!”
Magellan finally arrived, hands forming venom, entering the battle to deliver a finishing blow.
The dragon-shaped venom surged from his body, attacking the fallen Evan.
“Stop right there!”
Snow, transformed into a hell wolf, roared, black flames burning from her body.
The black flames formed fireballs to block the venom, burning and destroying all the poison.
“Sky Piercer Sword.”
Borsalino landed on the ground, a golden light sword formed in his hand, shining brilliantly.
“Young man, care to test your sword skills?”
He looked at Evan, swinging the Sky Piercer Sword, its light dispersing the surrounding mist.
Evan struggled to stand, gripping his sword, and covering it with Armament Haki.
If he were in peak condition, he might stand a chance. But now, exhausted and injured, he had little strength left.
“Here I come, young man!”
Borsalino stepped forward, raising the light sword, slashing down as if to cut everything.
Evan gritted his teeth, swinging his sword to clash with the light sword.
Ding!
Light exploded, Evan staggered back but stood firm, stepping forward to strike again.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Their swords clashed fiercely, sparks flying, the battle intense.
Meanwhile, Snow fought fiercely with Magellan in her hell wolf form.
She was pushed back by the venom, quickly falling into a disadvantage.
Though her hell flames could burn the venom, Magellan couldn’t kill her immediately.
“Poison Dragon!”
Magellan’s massive body released venom, forming three venom dragons poised to attack Snow. But the ground beneath him collapsed, forcing him to step aside with Moonwalk.
Magellan glanced down, seeing a deep hole where the ground had collapsed.
“Hmph, just a small trick.”
His voice turned cold, the three venom dragons plunged into the hole.
The concrete ground trembled violently, then settled, becoming still.
