The reasons for the conflict between Capone Bege, the mafia don, and Kid, the hot-tempered captain, were far too many.
Perhaps just a single word, or even a re glance, was enough to create a grudge between the two captains.
Urouge, the monk, had always adhered to a monk's principles, trying to calm the two ill-tempered captains.
However, he overlooked the fact that he himself wasn't a particularly patient individual.
Even if Bege hadn't clashed with Kid, Urouge might have just picked a fight with so lawbreaker on the island anyway.
When it ca down to it, how many of those called the [Worst Generation] were easy to deal with?
These Supernovas had almost simultaneously gathered on Sabaody Archipelago.
Right here, besides the three captains, X. Drake and [Roar of the Sea] Scratchn Apoo were already observing from the shadows.
anwhile, another who always liked using cards to divine his fate, looking sowhat like a charlatan, Hawkins, sat openly on the edge of a fountain, using straw to hold his cards in the air.
"Hmm... The probability of our defeat today is… one hundred percent. If we do nothing, the survival rate is also one hundred percent."
This was why he dared to sit so close to the battlefield.
Hawkins had great confidence in his divination results.
"Hey, who threw the cannonballs?"
At that mont, three young, unfamiliar faces appeared in the center of the battlefield.
Karin looked at the groups, no, it should be said none of the three sides looked like good people, and raised an eyebrow.
Sasuke, anwhile, looked at Kid and Killer not far away. In his perception, these two posed a relatively greater threat.
-But only relatively.
"Kids, get lost!"
Although Bege also had a fiery temper, he upheld the so-called 'mafia chivalry' ideology. His idol was even [Whitebeard] Edward Newgate.
While a bit impatient, his intentions weren't entirely wrong.
"Huh? Mister, were you the one who fired those cannonballs just now?"
Karin followed the voice and saw the gunports exposed on Bege's body as he used his ability.
She had misunderstood him.
In fact, the cannonballs had been aid at Kid the whole ti. It was just that Kid, as a Jiki Jiki no Mi User, had casually swatted them away in another direction.
"Blah blah blah, so annoying! I'll take you all out too!"
Kid, already irritated by Sasuke destroying his scrap-tal arm, imdiately categorized the three newcors as enemies.
Bzzzt-
The weapons on the surrounding pirates flew up under magnetic force, attaching themselves to Kid's arms, forming new 'limbs' for him.
"Magnetism? A bit like that guy."
Sasuke just shifted his gaze slightly and understood the nature of Kid's ability.
The 'that guy' he referred to was Sasori, who controlled the puppet of the Third Kazekage.
That human puppet, made from the Third Kazekage's corpse, could also use the dead's Kekkei Genkai Ninjutsu: Magnet Release.
But the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release was clearly more refined, capable of controlling fine iron sand on a large scale for attacks.
In comparison, Kid, who just roughly bundled weapons together to form crude arms, seed sowhat lacking in brainpower.
This couldn't be blad entirely on Kid. Given his background, being literate was an achievent. Could he really be expected to learn deep applications of magnetism?
However, Kid wasn't without advantages.
As one of the stronger mbers among the Supernovas, even disregarding his Devil Fruit's Ability, his combat skills and physical prowess were quite remarkable.
"Die!"
One arm smashed towards Sasuke, the other towards Bege.
Seeing this, Bege directly entered his [Big Father] form. His entire body instantly grew dozens of tis taller, truly standing erect like a castle.
"n! Full firepower!"
"Yes, Father!"
At Bege's command, cannons and bullets erupted from within the castle.
Kid couldn't manipulate the magnetic arms and deflect the cannonballs simultaneously, but he didn't need to now.
The giant tal hand simply tanked the cannonball barrage, smashing towards Bege.
Bege t it head-on, using his own arm, transford into castle masonry, to block.
In front of them, [Massacre Soldier] Killer clashed with the underlings under the 'Father'.
But compared to Killer, another Supernova, Bege's lieutenants like 'Gotti' and 'Vito' were outmatched and quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Watching the approaching giant arm, Sasuke's expression didn't change at all.
He simply made a vertical chopping motion with his hand, lightning and flas coiling around it simultaneously.
It was the [Lightning Fire Sword].
An attack combining his Devil Fruit's Ability and Lightning Chakra Mode.
The tallic torrent was instantly sliced in two by the electric light, falling away in other directions.
"Are the people in this world always like this?"
Konohamaru, watching the lee, asked Karin beside him.
First the elephant-man, now these guys who could turn into castles and scrap tal-
Each one seed ready to explode at the slightest spark.
"Who knows?"
Karin just shrugged, then a hint of a smile appeared on her face.
"So, what should we do?"
Konohamaru was still sowhat at a loss facing this situation. Back in the village, at most he'd fought beasts or sparred with other Ninjas. He'd never seen a large-scale brawl like this.
"Anyway, let's make them stop fighting first. What do you think?"
Her words sounded peaceful, but the way she cracked her knuckles and showed a highly combative expression made them less convincing.
Sasuke, whom she asked, just nodded lightly.
"Fine."
"Konohamaru, take care of yourself. Don't get caught in the crossfire-"
The next mont, a golden, shining Valkyrie appeared in the center of the battlefield.
Thud! Thud!
That speed, surpassing the eye's ability to track, was truly startling for the Supernovas who hadn't yet learned Haki.
"So fast!"
"When did she-?!"
Before Bege could react, his castle body was sent flying by a trendous force.
Seizing the opportunity, Urouge, the Mad Monk, struck Bege with an iron pillar, sending him crashing down heavily.
But then Urouge himself was punched back by a casual swing from Bege.
However, Urouge showed no sign of pain from the injury. Instead, the muscles on his body rapidly bulged up because of that hit.
"Karma!"
Using his Devil Fruit's Ability to absorb the opponent's attack and convert it into strength, Urouge's return punch also sent Capone Bege in his Big Father form flying.
On the other side, Sasuke didn't even enter his human-beast hybrid form. With a few quick movents, he appeared in front of Kid.
Then, with a single-handed palm strike, he hit Kid's abdon before the other could react.
Hasshoken: Shockwave.
The seemingly ordinary palm strike nearly made Kid spit up.
But the kid's willpower was surprisingly tenacious. Despite the heavy blow, he endured the pain and controlled several blades to attack Sasuke's position.
His arm being destroyed again had freed up more slots for manipulation.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sasuke simply leaped back lightly, then, with a bit of Haki wrapped around his fingertips, precisely shattered those blades.
Seeing this, Kid's eyes turned fierce, and he prepared to press the attack further.
At that mont, another figure leaped over silently, a rotating scythe aid at Sasuke's neck.
Decapitation Whirlwind!
Killer was incredibly fast, and his attack angle was very tricky, aiming for the mont Sasuke was evading Kid's attack for a sure-kill strike.
Unfortunately, this level of attack was completely insufficient against Sasuke, who possessed Observation Haki.
The two horizontal scythe slashes were precisely dodged, and simultaneously, another hand pressed against Killer's abdon.
"Try this instead."
[Chidori!]
Zzzzt-
Electric light instantly enveloped the Massacre Soldier's entire body. The usually silent, attack-from-the-shadows guy was suddenly screaming from the electrocution.
"Ahhhhh!!"
Kid was also shocked seeing this.
"Lightning, fire... What kind of Devil Fruit user are you?!"
Tossing the smoking Killer towards Kid, Sasuke spoke calmly.
"Just a Ninja."
