Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 214 Bondi Wald!

This huge commotion immediately attracted the attention of most people on the battlefield.

Somewhere on the battlefield, Akainu's eyes narrowed as he gazed at the enormous glutinous rice pillar.

"Trying to run away?!"

boom--

Almost instantly, Akainu's entire right arm turned into rolling lava.

His gaze was fixed on the glutinous rice ball in the distance, and he suddenly threw a punch.

"A massive fireball!!"

The magma fist was unleashed, rapidly growing larger in a very short time until it became a gigantic magma fist, which continued to grow larger as it roared toward the distant glutinous rice pillar.

But just then, a figure blocked the magma fist, and a punch wrapped in crimson lightning suddenly slammed out.

Boom—

A powerful shockwave erupted from his fist, colliding with Akainu's massive magma fist.

In an instant, a terrifying aftershock spread, and countless magma splashed out. After a period of stalemate, a loud roar came, and the huge magma fist suddenly exploded, turning into huge magma balls that crashed to the ground.

Puffs of hot air rose up, sizzling as the candy layer melted instantly, and the biscuit layer inside was no match for the heat of the lava, melting away in the blink of an eye.

Eventually, pits appeared, from which seawater gushed out and filled them.

Akainu narrowed his eyes, staring at Barrett in front of him, and asked in a deep voice:

"Why help the Big Mom Pirates?"

"Aren't you pirates all narrow-minded and eager to see others suffer?"

"laugh!!"

Barrett scoffed dismissively.

"Red Dog, don't judge others with your narrow-minded perspective!"

Even in the brutal world of pirates, there is a code of honor!

"But I didn't intentionally save them; I just really don't like you!"

Who do you think you are?

"Fight me and then go after other people? If you succeed, won't I be the one who loses face?"

"So, you stay right here!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Barrett's figure darted out instantly...

Meanwhile, Kyle, who had already beaten Wang Zhi and Jin Shizi to a pulp, saw this scene and without hesitation transformed into lightning and rushed towards the giant glutinous rice pillar.

The two Golden Lions were already lying on the ground, unable to resist, and it was impossible for them to escape.

So what we need to do now is to stop Katakuri first.

In an instant, Kyle arrived not far from the giant mochi pillar, and almost at the same time, the top of the giant mochi pillar erupted again, the terrifying thrust sending the members of the Big Mom Pirates flying one by one.

Like a sniper rifle bullet, it moves incredibly fast.

Unfortunately, the Big Mom Pirates weren't very lucky; their ships were completely destroyed in the aftershocks of the attack during the battle.

That's why Katakuri had to do that; otherwise, simply boarding the ship and escaping would have been the best option.

Kyle narrowed his eyes, lightning crackling around him, and he prepared to stop those guys.

Trying to outrun him with speed is just wishful thinking, isn't it?

But just then, Kyle heard a sound of air being torn apart behind him.

"Glutinous Rice Ball Thrust!!"

The rapidly spinning Armament Haki Pyramid pierced through Kyle's body, exiting through his chest, but Kyle was unharmed.

Purple lightning flashed continuously at the pierced chest, but the attack did not hit Kyle's physical body.

Kyle turned his head and looked at Katakuri, whose face was solemn. His expression was blank. Suddenly, his body transformed into lightning and flashed to Katakuri's side, delivering a powerful whip kick.

Katakuri immediately wrapped his hands in Armament Haki and held them horizontally at his sides.

bang——

A dull thud followed, and a terrifying force erupted from Kyle's leg, instantly sending Katakuri flying like a cannonball as he plummeted downwards.

However, Kyle frowned slightly.

"Their strength has declined quite a bit!"

If he were at his peak—no, not even at his peak, but at about 80% of his strength—Katakuri wouldn't have been able to react to that kick just now.

Kyle slightly raised his hand, and amidst several explosions, several bolts of lightning struck Katakuri, engulfing him.

"I don't have time to play with you right now!"

Kyle shifted his gaze to the Big Mom Pirates members flying into the distance, and then prepared to transform into purple lightning to give chase.

Even though they had flown a distance away, he could easily catch up with that distance in the face of his lightning.

But often, accidents happen in droves.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Kyle, and a fist wrapped in Armament Haki slammed down on Kyle.

The speed was so fast that the air itself seemed to explode.

!!!

Kyle's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately stretched out an arm to block.

But the moment they made contact, Kyle's expression changed again, because an incredibly powerful force erupted from the newcomer's fist. The terrifying force instantly blasted him away, his body tearing through the air as he plummeted downwards like a meteor.

During this process, Kyle's body transformed into purple lightning and eventually fell to the 'ground' below.

Boom—

A tremendous sound rang out, cookie crumbs flew everywhere, and purple lightning surged continuously.

After a while, Kyle's figure re-emerged on the ground, with a trickle of blood flowing from his mouth.

The injury then began to heal, but the recovery was much slower than it had been initially.

Kyle's recovery speed is linked to his stamina. Now that his stamina is almost depleted, his recovery speed has dropped to almost zero.

But Kyle didn't care about any of that; instead, he looked ahead.

A tall, robust man stood in front of him, with broad shoulders and thick arms, but rather slender legs.

Of course, what stands out most is his green beard and light green W-shaped mustache.

Kyle narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke, word by word:

"World Destroyer... Bondi Wilder!!"

"Huh?! You brat, you actually know me?!"

Bondi Wald's face showed a hint of surprise. He could tell that Kyle in front of him was no more than twenty years old, but he had been imprisoned in Impel Down and kept in a state of frozen death for more than twenty years.

Theoretically speaking, Kyle shouldn't know about him.

"I just happen to know!"

Kyle spoke calmly, then asked:

"Why didn't I sense your presence at first?"

"That's because I'm getting used to my body! I've been frozen for over twenty years, I need to adjust! I'm not used to it anymore!"

"We grabbed a bite to eat in Impel Down before leaving, which made it take a little longer!"

"Hey kid in the navy... have you ever seen a bullet a hundred times bigger than that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bondi Wald pulled out a pistol.

boom--

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet shot out of the barrel, rapidly increasing in size during its flight, growing a hundred times its original volume in the blink of an eye.

Like a giant cannonball, it hurtled towards Kyle at incredible speed...
