The huge sea surface, apart from the aftermath of the explosion, caused the raging waves to roll back.
The opposing sides suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Even Byrnndi, who had been full of momentum the moment before, suddenly had a gloomy expression.
He really didn't care about the Shichibukai.
But the guy in front of him, who could detonate Impel Down, still made him feel apprehensive.
"Skeletal Demon, thank you for rescuing Byrnndi. This is all a misunderstanding. We didn't know that Empress Hancock and you, Skeletal Demon, were old acquaintances." Byojack took the lead to smooth things over.
The oppressive atmosphere in the field eased a little.
Byrnndi glanced at Byojack and said, "Hmph, those escaping guys really wanted to meet you. I didn't expect that I would meet you here."
"However, I, Byrnndi, am not someone who is ungrateful. Since you helped me escape from that ghostly place, then I won't make things difficult for your people, but I hope you don't hinder me."
After dropping these words, Byrnndi turned around and planned to leave.
"Byrnndi, stop. This is no longer your era!" Kai said faintly.
The not-loud words, at this moment, seemed to have been infused with magic sounds and echoed on the sea surface for a long time and couldn't be dispelled.
Byrnndi's steps that he had taken stopped in mid-air at once.
"Byrnndi, don't be impulsive!" Byojack's face changed, and he hurriedly spoke to persuade him.
Byojack didn't have any complaints about Kai's words.
It could be said that he and Kai had the same thoughts.
In his eyes, Byrnndi's appearance looked the same as it had been thirty years ago, only 46 years old.
However, in the frozen state, the body's functions were also declining.
It could be said that the current Byrnndi was no longer the valiant one he had been in the past.
The changes in this era right now had even led to the Pirate King Roger being executed.
Just as Kai had said, this was no longer Byrnndi's era.
"Not impulsive?" Byrnndi's face darkened, and he roared angrily.
"Just a mere brat dares to point fingers at me here. You're challenging the majesty of the World Pirates."
Bang! With a big step, Byrnndi directly used Shave and disappeared in place out of thin air.
Appearing again, he had already arrived in front of Kai.
As the pitch-black Busoshoku Haki spread quickly on his fist, his five fingers clenched suddenly and smashed towards Kai head-on.
"Kid, others are saying that you have many cunning tricks. I want to see what ability a mere Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit ability user has to be a lobbyist for me!"
Bang! As a punch was thrown out, the air seemed to have been pierced through.
Although Byrnndi was a Paramecia Devil Fruit ability user, he was also proficient in the Six Styles of the Marine and was a martial arts powerhouse.
In his eyes, Kai was young and being able to develop his Devil Fruit ability to this extent was already very good.
As for martial arts, he was simply no match for him.
Watching the fist about to smash onto Kai's body, a trace of playfulness flashed through the depths of Byrnndi's pupils.
"More More Tenfold Speed!"
Buzz! The air ripples that had been stirred up were torn apart in an instant.
The explosively increased punch speed was simply like teleportation and appeared on Kai's nose.
This sudden attack method was Byrnndi's tried and tested routine attack.
In his eyes, there were very few people who could dodge it.
What's more, under this close-range distance, Kai simply didn't have the advantage to dodge.
However, just as this thought had just sprouted, the scene that entered his eyes made Byrnndi's pupils contract suddenly.
Endless lightning rose up without warning on Kai's body.
The next moment, before his fist landed, he disappeared in place first.
Bang! A heavy punch landed directly in the air.
The fist strength that was stirred up was like a hurricane and instantly rushed into the sea below.
The huge impact force directly smashed a big wave out of the sea, and even the sea kings that were lurking in it were killed with one punch.
The sudden scene made Byrnndi's expression change drastically. Not having time to think more, he hurriedly raised his Kenbunshoku Haki to the extreme.
Behind him!
The figure that he had captured flashed through Byrnndi's mind. As the Busoshoku Haki in his right hand wrapped around crazily, he used his waist as a support point and swept out directly behind him.
Faced with the fleeting glimpse of the scene just now, he now eagerly wanted to verify one thing.
However, the words that fell into his ears instantly made his nerves tense to the extreme.
"Have you ever tasted what it's like to be struck by lightning?"
"Divine Punishment!"
Boom!
The golden thunder, like a tide, vented down from the nine heavens.
The speed was so fast that only the dazzling golden light flashed across the sky and earth. The next moment, the violent lightning took the lead and struck Byrnndi's body.
The huge lightning pillar was a full seven or eight meters thick.
Faced with this sudden scene, Byrnndi had already been mentally prepared.
But faced with the lightning that descended from the sky, with his weakened body and having consumed a lot of physical strength from chasing the Kuja Pirates just now, he simply didn't have time to dodge.
Bang! The lightning instantly poured down on his body, and with a posture like ten thousand jun, it struck across the sky towards the sea below with undiminished power.
Byojack's face changed drastically at once. Before he could say anything more, a black shadow rushed out quickly on the deck and took the lead to land on the sea.
"Captain Byrnndi, I'll be your stepping stone!" Sebastian, as the only remaining crew member of the World Pirates, was also a scorpion fish giant and possessed extraordinary swimming talent.
Although he had lost his eyesight in countless battles in the past, the Kenbunshoku Haki he possessed had become faster and stronger because of this.
It could be said that Sebastian had taken the lead to land on Byrnndi's falling point in an instant.
"Sebastian, you've come at the right time!"
Byrnndi, who was in the middle of the endless lightning, reacted suddenly.
In the instant just now, he had used the Busoshoku Haki all over his body to raise his defensive ability to the extreme.
However, faced with Kai's sudden attack, he was still a step too slow, causing his body to have a trace of paralysis.
He had almost been rushed into the sea by the endless lightning.
Right now, Sebastian's sudden help had undoubtedly made Byrnndi find a foothold.
Bang! With one foot on Sebastian's back, Byrnndi's falling momentum was directly slowed down.
Not having time to think more, he hurriedly used Geppo and rushed towards the Groseade.
It wasn't until his feet stepped on the deck that Byrnndi could catch his breath a little.
However, watching Kai, who was floating in the sky, his face became iron-blue.
"Byrnndi, you're old!" Kai's deep eyes, the soul fire surged violently.
As the lightning on his body surged, he swept across the void in a lightning-like posture, just like a ghost, and also landed on the deck.
Meeting Byrnndi's gloomy gaze, he said, "This sea can no longer tolerate you. If you still want to continue sailing, I might be able to provide you with shelter."
