Chapter 462: Deidara's Frustration
Above the sky, Deidara was flying on a giant clay bird over a sea area near the calm belt.
"Hey! Where is that guy you mentioned?" Deidara was high in the sky, and with the help of his special tactical glasses, he only saw the Perfume Serpent of the Nine Snakes Pirates sailing fast, as if chasing something, but he did not find any trace of the world destroyer.
Faced with this incompetent question, Kizaru, who was flying stealthily nearby, simply reached out and slapped Deidara on the back of the head.
Deidara was caught off guard and felt a sudden pain in his head. He leaned forward and almost fell off the giant bird.
Deidara rubbed his head and glared in Kizaru's direction, "You bastard! What are you doing?"
"Have you practiced your Haki on dogs? Where's your Observation Haki?" Kizaru mocked mercilessly.
"Me?" Deidara was speechless for a moment. He used his Observation Haki to sense downwards, but because he was flying too high and the distance was too far, his Observation Haki could only barely touch the sea surface below and reached its limit.
Deidara still hadn't discovered the World Destroyer, and didn't want to expose his lack of Haki training in front of Kizaru, so he pretended to have discovered an enemy, "This kind of guy, Uncle Deidara can handle it alone, you don't need to follow."
After saying that, he controlled the giant bird to rush downwards, trying to shorten the distance between himself and the sea and continue searching for the enemy.
Kizaru saw through Deidara's little trick at a glance. He followed closely behind Deidara and slapped him again.
“Damn it!” Deidara covered his head again, looked at Kizaru, and said indignantly, “If you hit me again, I will fight back!”
"Have you discovered Bondi World?" Kizaru asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Deidara replied stubbornly.
Kizaru raised his hand again, and this time the alert Deidara noticed it in time and hurriedly retreated.
"Tell me, where is Bondi World?" Kizaru put down his right hand and continued to ask.
"It's right in front of that ship." Deidara pointed at the Perfume Serpent which was sailing quickly below and inferred based on common sense.
"Idiot!" Kizaru yelled, but without moving, Deidara was slapped on the back of his head out of nowhere. This slap was delivered from mid-air by Kizaru using natural energy.
Deidara covered his head again and complained in frustration: "Then where do you say it is?"
Hearing this, Kizaru raised the corners of his mouth and laughed again, "There is no Bondi World here."
Deidara's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Kizaru with anger and frustration, as if he had been deceived. "You"
"I never said that Bondi World was here." Kizaru replied with a smile.
"You!" Deidara raised his voice, feeling depressed and wanting to explode, "You bastard, are you kidding me?"
"I brought you here to let you follow the Nine Snakes Pirates below. Bondi World kidnapped the two sisters of Empress Hancock, and Hancock is leading people to chase him." Kizaru explained with a smile.
After hearing the explanation, Deidara looked down at the pirate ship and shouted angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You didn't ask." Kizaru said as if it was a matter of course.
Deidara rubbed his head frantically, thinking that Kizaru was simply the worst existence in the world.
"In the final analysis, it's because your Haki is not well-trained. If your Observation Haki was up to standard, you would know that Bondi World is lurking in the sea thirty miles ahead." Kizaru taught.
Deidara was even more speechless at Kizaru's matter-of-fact tone. Who's passing score for Observation Haki is based on a perception of thirty or forty nautical miles?
"Don't use your perversion to ask others to do something like this. Who can sense such a long distance in less than three months after practicing Haki?" Deidara, who considered himself a genius, had no intention of comparing himself with a perverted monster like Kizaru.
"Oh wow! So that's it! It seems like you're just so-so! Deidara!" Kizaru deliberately emphasized and prolonged the tone of Deidara's name.
Faced with the ridicule, Deidara could only be angry. He was so angry that he simply didn't want to talk to Kizaru. He controlled the giant bird and chased after the Perfume Serpent that was going away.
Seeing this, Kizaru, who had had enough fun, did not stop him, but just followed slowly.
Deidara followed the Perfume Serpent all the way forward in pursuit, and an hour later, he finally witnessed the appearance of Bondi World and his pirate ship.
Unlike ordinary pirate ships, Bondi World's pirate ship was a giant battleship built by three of his former cadres over a period of thirty years.
This uniquely shaped warship is the size of a hill and is shaped like a giant turtle. The most eye-catching feature is the huge turret located on the turtle's head.
The size of this huge artillery battery is even comparable to many medium-sized ships. It was specifically proposed by Bondi World and his companions when they discussed building a new ship thirty years ago.
Such a huge artillery, combined with the power of the Bondi Worldmomo Fruit, can be called a destructive-level weapon. Not to mention destroying an island with one shot, it can also easily destroy any fleet.
This time, Bondi World, who escaped from Impel Down, was going to take this giant ship to the holy land of Marijoa to bombard the holy land in revenge for the conspiracy against him by the World Government agents.
The reason why he kidnapped the two sisters of the Empress was that after receiving the information that the World Government was summoning the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he was ready to strike first and eliminate some of the Seven Warlords of the Sea before they joined the Navy.
The Nine Snake Island where Empress Hancock was located was the closest to him and unfortunately became Bondi World's first target.
When the Empress sent her two sisters and some of the tribesmen on board the Perfume Serpent to visit and transport supplies to Luffy who was training on a nearby island, they happened to encounter Bondi World's attack.
Seeing the target appear, Deidara did not rashly choose to attack directly. Instead, he increased the flight altitude and watched from high in the sky as Empress Hancock and Luffy boarded Bondi World's giant ship and fought with Bondi World's cadres.
Kizaru, who was standing by, did not ask Deidara for support, but just watched the battle below calmly.
After the two of them watched for a while, Deidara noticed something and turned his gaze to look in another direction, saying, "Someone is coming."
Kizaru, who had already noticed it, reminded him, "There is more than one group of people."
Upon hearing this, Deidara continued to scout the situation around the sea, and sure enough, he found a swordsman sitting on a uniquely shaped coffin boat in the distance.
"What is that?" Deidara looked at the shape and felt that it looked familiar.
Kizaru glanced at Deidara, who instinctively became alert and quickly distanced himself from Kizaru, saying, "I remember now. That's Hawkeye, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the greatest swordsman on the sea."
After hearing the answer, Kizaru retracted his gaze and warned: "For the next battle, you decide for yourself, whether to attack or to take advantage of opportunities. I just want to make sure of one thing, that is, Bondi Wald is dead."
After saying that, Kizaru looked at Deidara, and after looking him up and down, his sight was fixed on the bamboo basket behind him. "As for the Momo Fruit, it depends on your luck, Deidara."
Hearing this, Deidara smiled with some confidence, "Didn't you say that the devil fruit will choose the right host for it? When it comes to the art of explosion and destruction, no one can compare to me!"
"Really? Then I'll wait for your good news!" Kizaru said finally, and after the words came out, his figure disappeared out of thin air.
The next moment, Kizaru appeared on the sea next to the coffin ship driven by Hawk. Kizaru stepped on the sea as if it were flat ground.
Hawkeye saw Kizaru suddenly appear, and stopped what he was doing. He looked at Kizaru as if he were an old acquaintance, and asked, "Is the World Destroyer related to you?"
"If I say yes, are you going to leave?" Kizaru asked with a smile.
"Let me fight you in swordsmanship. I can leave at any time." After confirming that Kizaru was not a devil fruit user, Hawkeye rekindled his strong interest in fighting Kizaru.
"If you lose, you will lose the title of the world's number one swordsman." Kizaru said jokingly.
"If you can defeat me, then take it." Hawkeye stood up and drew the black blade on his back.
Seeing Hawkeye eager to try, Kizaru had no desire to take action today. He came here this time just to say hello to Hawkeye.
"Forget it. You should leave your title of the greatest swordsman to that young man. If I take it away, that green algae-headed guy will probably have no hope." Kizaru said as a matter of course.
Hearing this, Hawkeye gripped the hilt of the sword even tighter with his right hand. Having experienced the Battle of Marineford, he knew very well how powerful Kizaru was, but that didn't mean he didn't have the courage to take action. Only by challenging stronger swordsmen could he constantly hone his swordsmanship and become stronger.
"Mihawk, your swordsmanship is indeed very strong, but for me, a simple swordsmanship comparison is meaningless. Because I have already reached the strongest in this world in any dimension." Kizaru continued, he spread his hands in the direction of Hawkeye and continued, "You can't ask me to compete with you only in swordsmanship, right?"
Upon hearing this, Hawkeye stared at Kizaru in silence. After a moment, he silently retracted his black blade.
He understood that what Kizaru said made sense. This guy was strong in all aspects, whether it was physical skills, domineering, or abilities that were not from a devil fruit, they were all above the sea.
"What's your purpose for appearing here today?" Hawkeye retracted the black blade and sat back on the boat.
Kizaru did not hide it and answered directly: "I came here for the power of Bondi World's fruit."
"Are you also tempted by such a fruit?" Hawkeye told the truth, feeling a little disappointed.
Kizaru shook his head, "I'm just preparing it for the younger generation. For me, devil fruits are only disadvantages."
After saying that, Kizaru walked to Hawkeye's boat and casually invited him, "Mihawk, I wonder if you are interested in coming to the East China Sea and the Kingdom of Light to have a look? In my country, there are also various swordsmanship schools and strong people who specialize in swordsmanship."
Hawkeye, who was originally ready to leave and not participate in this battle after hearing Kizaru's answer, instantly became interested after hearing the temptation thrown by Kizaru.
"The Kingdom of Light? If I have time, I will go to the East China Sea to take a look." (End of this chapter)
