“Vice Admiral Borsalino!”
“It’s Vice Admiral Borsalino!”
When the Marines saw the man who had spoken, their eyes filled with joy.
Although Borsalino was still only a vice admiral right now, he already possessed the strength of an admiral.
This arson incident at Mary Geoise was under his responsibility.
After receiving Strawberry’s report, Borsalino had rushed over here.
If he had not appeared in time, perhaps Strawberry would have already been killed by Morin.
Borsalino was one of the very top powerhouses on this sea.
The Marines believed that no matter how strong Morin was, he could not possibly be Borsalino’s opponent.
“So this is the future Marine Admiral Kizaru?”
Morin looked at Borsalino before him and felt that things were becoming more and more interesting.
The current Borsalino was dressed differently from how he would be ten years later.
Right now, he wore a gray hat and a white striped suit, with a ring of facial hair around his face and a tall, thin build.
He was only forty years old now, but the sleazy air in his eyes was not any less than when he would become an admiral.
“Vice Admiral Borsalino, this guy named Morin is a monster!
You absolutely cannot let him go!”
Even with Morin’s sword pressed against his neck, Strawberry’s tone remained forceful.
As a Marine, from the day he joined the Marines, he had already cast life and death aside.
Morin was the most terrifying person he had ever seen.
If someone like him could not join the Marines, then he would definitely become an enemy of the World Government.
When that time came, he would become an enemy even more terrifying than Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world.
“Hmm, so your name is Morin.
I didn’t expect such a frightening fellow to appear on this sea.”
“Join the Marines.
No matter what you want, I’ll do my best to satisfy you!”
The moment Borsalino said those words, both the Marines and the three Boa sisters were stunned.
Morin had clearly killed so many Marines.
Even Rear Admiral Strawberry had almost died at his hands.
Instead of thinking about taking back the Marines’ dignity, Borsalino actually wanted to recruit Morin?
“Sorry, but I don’t like serving under other people!”
Morin directly refused Borsalino’s request.
What a joke.
With this fruit, along with the abundant resources of this sea, Morin could sweep across this entire world.
How could he possibly become a dog for the Celestial Dragons?
“What a headache.
Fighting monsters like you is exactly what I hate the most.”
Borsalino scratched his head, looking rather troubled.
Seeing him like this, Morin remained completely unmoved.
Because Morin knew that everything before him was an illusion.
Morin’s Observation Haki could sense it clearly.
Borsalino had already locked tightly onto him.
Before Morin could kill Strawberry, Borsalino’s attack would strike Morin first.
After all, Borsalino’s fruit was one of the fastest Devil Fruits on this sea.
“Let’s fight, Borsalino!”
Morin kicked Strawberry toward the Marine warship and spoke to Borsalino, who was standing on the ship.
Borsalino was a top-tier powerhouse on this sea.
Fighting someone like him would allow Morin’s martial arts to improve at a tremendous speed.
For the past few years, Morin had been developing quietly.
Although his physique might have already reached the peak of this sea, his martial arts and battle awareness were still a blank sheet of paper.
Morin could easily crush opponents of Strawberry’s level, but against someone like Borsalino, whose mind, body, and technique had all been trained to the peak of the sea, his combat experience was simply not enough.
Strawberry’s body smashed straight into Borsalino, and Borsalino instantly scattered into golden light.
Boom!
Strawberry’s body crashed into the warship, causing the entire vessel to tremble.
Seeing this scene, even Borsalino’s somewhat sleazy expression stiffened for a moment.
Morin’s strength was too terrifying.
He was definitely not an ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit user.
“I’m a Logia-type Glint-Glint Fruit user.
What Devil Fruit do you have?”
Borsalino asked Morin.
“I am the user of the Zoan-Type Bug-Bug Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Meruem!”
Morin directly told Kizaru about his fruit ability.
“A Mythical Zoan.
What a troublesome fruit ability.”
Hearing Morin’s words, Borsalino could not help sighing.
Mythical Zoans were animals or figures from myths and legends, and they were even rarer than Logia types.
The current Mythical Zoan users were all top powerhouses on this sea.
After learning Morin’s fruit ability, Borsalino took Morin even more seriously.
A Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user who also possessed Conqueror’s Haki.
Morin already had the potential to become a Pirate Emperor.
“Morin, have you ever been kicked by light?”
Borsalino looked at Morin and asked the catchphrase he always used before battle.
“He’s coming!”
Almost the instant Kizaru’s voice fell, Morin’s Observation Haki predicted Borsalino’s landing point in advance.
A dazzling golden cross-shaped laser beam appeared on Kizaru’s left foot.
Just as he was about to kick Morin, Morin vanished from before his eyes.
Morin had now appeared on Borsalino’s right side.
He swept one leg toward Borsalino’s right leg.
Borsalino was a Logia user, so Morin’s leg had already been coated in Armament Haki the moment he swept it out.
When Morin’s leg collided with Borsalino, Borsalino once again scattered into golden light.
Armament Haki could grasp the real body of a Logia ability user, but that saying did not apply in front of an expert like Borsalino.
As golden light gathered in the sky, Borsalino’s figure appeared high above.
“You can actually keep up with my speed?”
Borsalino looked down at Morin from above.
The Morin before him had given him a surprise.
Borsalino could turn any part of his body into light.
At the same time, he possessed the speed of light, allowing him to launch light-speed attacks and move at light speed, using that speed to create heavy blows.
When he fought, parts of his body would release intense flashes of light, and in the blink of an eye, his enemies would be defeated.
Aside from Whitebeard and other top combatants of the sea, Morin was the first Zoan-type ability user who could keep up with the speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit.
“Borsalino, I’ve already seen your fruit ability.
Now let me show you mine!”
Morin smiled at Borsalino as his body began to change.
