Chapter 191: Kizaru and the Straw Hat Crew
"Kakarot! Today, we must settle the score!"
Yo, it’s the tragic Prince Vegeta, the eternal number two, making his appearance.
"Vegeta, how about we don’t fight today?"
Son Goku calmly rejected Vegeta’s challenge. Who knew if this planet could withstand a battle between the two of them? If they blew it up, who knows if the Dragon Balls could even restore a planet from another world.
Kenji could feel that Son Goku’s strength was being suppressed by some kind of power. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t destroy a star.
"There’s a competition, isn’t there? How about we see who can get the Carat Sizzled Cattle first?" Son Goku suggested.
"Oh? A little interesting. Then that’s what we’ll compete on," Vegeta said after a moment’s thought. Changing up the competition style once in a while was acceptable.
"Hey! That meat is mine!" Luffy said seriously. He had already decided he was going to eat it.
In this competition, you couldn’t fly. Even if you could, you had to rely on your own two legs to run on the ground and climb cliffs. It was a test of whose legs could move faster.
Kenji didn’t really care about the taste of the Carat Sizzled Cattle. As someone who had eaten the king of ingredients, GOD, he was just here for the fun of it. Toriko and the other participants were also just here for the spectacle; they had no strong desire for the prize.
"Yo, Tina! Long time no see!" Kenji saw an old acquaintance. Wherever there was an event that could be broadcast, Tina’s figure would appear.
"Kenji, long time no see! I heard you captured GOD. What a shame I couldn’t be there to record it myself," Tina said, greeting him with a smile.
"Uh... it’s safer for you that you weren’t there, in the Human World."
Kenji didn’t think Tina’s Food Luck could compare to Zongeh’s. Toriko and the others were just background characters at that time, let alone an ordinary person like Tina. A single stray shockwave could have killed many people.
"That’s true. Are you also participating in this competition, Kenji?"
"No, Toriko is here. I’m just here to watch the fun."
Tina nodded. She had business to attend to and left. There were so many people to film and record.
"Straw Hat boy... it’s been two years. You’ve really gotten even more kowai ne~"
Kizaru, having received Kenji’s invitation, had arrived at the competition site. He recognized the familiar straw hat at a glance. So he’s learned Haki. I wonder which teacher taught him.
"Kizaru?!"
Hearing the catchphrase "kowai ne," Luffy and the others instantly turned their heads and saw the tall, lanky Kizaru. Their spirits were instantly on high alert.
Hiss—
Clang—
Luffy instantly activated Gear Second. His blood flow quickened, white steam billowed from his body, and his skin turned a reddish color. Haki dyed his fists jet black. Zoro drew his katanas. The other crew members prepared for battle.
They hadn’t expected to meet Kizaru here. They didn’t know how big the gap between them and him was now. Having learned Haki, they wouldn’t be like they were two years ago, unable to even touch a Logia user.
"Kowai ne~ What a bunch of monsters," Kizaru said in his signature lazy drawl.
His words said "scary," but there was absolutely no seriousness or apprehension in his tone. Learning Haki just got you a ticket to the New World; it didn’t mean you could punch a Marine Admiral and kick a Yonko.
Luffy and the others were speechless. Kizaru wasn’t taking them seriously at all. Can’t you be a little more serious?!
Kizaru: Are you sure you want me to be serious?
"This isn’t our world, so don’t be so nervous. My status here isn’t a Marine Admiral," Kizaru said with a yawn. He was in another world; he had no intention of working overtime, especially without pay.
Luffy and the others looked at each other. It was true, they couldn’t feel even a hint of a desire to fight from Kizaru. An aura of pure slacking washed over them.
"Kizaru is just here to watch the fun. You don’t have to worry," Kenji said. If Kizaru really had the intention of arresting pirates, not a single one of them would be able to escape. After two years of training, the gap between them and Kizaru was still not small. It wasn’t as if they had trained for a million years.
"Alright. Kizaru, if you lay a hand on my friends again, don’t blame me for sending you flying," Luffy said seriously.
Kenji: Is that how you talk to your uncle?
"I’m on vacation right now. I have no intention of continuing to work during my vacation time," Kizaru said, exasperated. Back at Marine HQ, he always clocked out on time and never chose to work overtime. Unless... they paid him extra.
The competition began. For some of the background characters, the starting line was also the finish line. A giant sandworm emerged from the beach and directly eliminated them.
If they were to be categorized by their affinities:
Pervert Group: Brook, Master Roshi.
(As expected, they were kicked away.)
Freak Group: Brook, Master Roshi, Franky.
(Calling them freaks was probably a compliment to them.)
Problem Child Group: Zebra, Zoro, Vegeta.
(Hot-tempered, liable to start a fight at the drop of a hat.)
Brains Group (in the audience): Coco, Robin, Piccolo.
(The intellectual powerhouses of the three main crews. Definitely the ones with brains and rationality.)
Protagonist Group: Toriko, Luffy, Son Goku.
(Besides the "protagonist" label, all three were the big eaters of their respective worlds, with incredibly deep stomachs.)
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Zoro’s performance is as stable as ever."
Kenji was flying in the sky, since he wasn’t participating in the competition.
As Zoro ran, he broke away from the group and started running in another direction. He himself hadn’t even noticed that there was no one around him anymore.
In the domain of getting lost, only Acheron could compare.
"Can you get lost even when you’re following others?" Atashino’s eyebrow rose. She could also see it clearly.
"If it were anyone else, then it would indeed be impossible. But if it’s Zoro, it’s a basic operation," Kenji said with great solemnity. If someone were leading Acheron, she wouldn’t get lost. But Zoro... he could get the person leading him lost with him. If he were by himself, a crazy move like getting lost and ending up at Laugh Tale would be completely within reason.
"Unbelievable," Atashino’s mouth twitched. He had a Congenital Lost Saint Body.
Before long, the Problem Child Group, unsurprisingly, met. A higher-dimensional suppressive force was at work. Although their power levels were vastly different, they still fought back and forth.
"Aren’t you afraid of dying?"
Kenji used an attraction palm to pull the war reporter Tina up to him. Although their strength was suppressed, they could still easily hit her with a stray blast.
"Thanks for that," Tina said, wiping her sweat. Her camera was toast. Who would have thought that a marathon-like competition would devolve into a passionate beam struggle at the drop of a hat?
"Are they going to continue fighting?" Tina asked. They showed no signs of stopping.
"Generally speaking, when they no longer wish to fight, they will naturally stop."
Hearing Kenji’s words, Atashino and Tina were speechless. Wasn’t that just stating the obvious? Who did he learn that line from?
Zhongli: Yes, who indeed? It’s so hard to guess.
"Then please take me somewhere else," Tina requested.
Kenji nodded. He didn’t want to watch the three of them passionately trade blows. They could fight for a whole day.
As expected of Vegeta. He’s so skilled in the prince’s fighting style.
