# Chapter 505: Kizaru's Nemesis
"Oh, aren't you Hawkins?"
As soon as he landed, Ian spotted Hawkins lying on the ground clutching his wound, and couldn't help but pause, then recalled Hawkins' name.
Ian had a rather deep impression of Hawkins. Back when they met in the North Blue, Ian had been quite impressed by his fortune-telling abilities. The predictions Hawkins had made for Ian had almost all come true.
Hearing Ian call out his name, Hawkins wasn't surprised. Still maintaining his expressionless demeanor, he bowed his head slightly to Ian and said, "Lord Ian!"
This form of address was a shadow left from when they first met, when Ian had given him a thorough beating. Hawkins was still quite intimidated by Ian.
Ian noticed several motionless strawman puppets beneath Hawkins and immediately understood that Hawkins had been badly beaten by Kizaru earlier. Once his substitute puppets were used up, his real body would take damage. So Ian couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "What kind of grudge do you have with Kizaru anyway..."
Hearing the exchange between Ian and Hawkins, Kizaru reacted, squinting at Hawkins and saying, "Oh my, I didn't expect you to know a 'big shot' like Ian. Perfect timing, I'll just get rid of you as his accomplice!"
With that, he extended his index finger again and fired a laser at Hawkins!
The speed of the laser was extremely fast. Hawkins couldn't react at all, only seeing a sudden flash of light before his eyes.
However, the moment Kizaru fired the laser, Enel had already sensed his movement and acted as well. With a crackling sound, a bolt of lightning shot out from his hand, colliding with Kizaru's laser.
The two energies clashed not far in front of Hawkins. Lightning and light suddenly expanded countless times, then exploded with a roar. The massive shockwave instantly sent Hawkins tumbling backward.
Though he was blasted and covered in dust, Hawkins had at least escaped being pierced through.
"Hmph! You long-eared brat!" Kizaru snorted coldly, his figure vanishing instantly and reappearing behind Enel, delivering a light-speed kick aimed at Enel's waist.
Back during the Marineford incident, Kizaru had already taken a dislike to Enel. He felt this ruffian-like guy was extremely arrogant and insolent. Similarly, Enel also disliked Kizaru, seeing him as someone who hid a knife behind a smile. The two, who couldn't stand each other, now clashed head-on the moment they met!
Kizaru's light-speed kick was an unsolvable problem for most people. Even those with Observation Haki, who could sense Kizaru's movements, couldn't keep up with his speed and would still be kicked to death! When Ian had fought Kizaru before, he had only barely managed to match Kizaru's speed thanks to the massive attribute boost from his Thousand Cherry Blossoms Final Release.
Kizaru's strength was obvious. It could even be said that among the three Marine Admirals, Kizaru was actually the strongest!
Now facing Enel, Kizaru didn't think too much. He believed his light-speed kick would be enough to teach this little punk Enel a harsh lesson.
But unfortunately, he never imagined that if there was one person in the world he absolutely couldn't kick, it might just be Enel!
Just as Kizaru's light-speed kick was about to hit Enel, Enel's entire body suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from the spot!
Miss... missed!?
Kizaru maintained his kicking posture, staring dumbfounded at the empty space before him, unable to process what had happened.
Crackle! A flash of lightning appeared. Enel materialized over a hundred meters away from Kizaru, grinning with a mischievous smile, then swung his remaining left arm downward!
"God's Judgment!"
Boom! A thunderclap suddenly sounded above Kizaru's head. A massive bolt of lightning came crashing down toward him!
When he saw Enel's left arm move, Kizaru sensed danger. Even though he could elementalize his body, he didn't dare directly withstand such an energy attack. Energy against energy—he had once been injured by Ian's White Lightning spell, which had damaged his true body, causing conflicts between the energies. So as the lightning struck, he used Yata Mirror, slipping along a light path to evade Enel's attack.
When Kizaru's body reappeared, he was standing opposite Enel.
"Unbelievable!" Kizaru frowned, a rare expression for him. "You're actually a Logia Devil Fruit user too. I underestimated you!"
"Hmph!" Enel snorted with a cold laugh. "I am lightning, you are light. There's almost no difference in speed between us. But my movement is unrestricted, while yours has limitations!"
Ian had been standing nearby with his arms crossed, watching the show. Hearing Enel's words, for some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of amusement.
Because a song suddenly popped into his head: "You are lightning, you are light, you are the only myth... You are my superstar!"
Maybe Enel and Kizaru could form a duo someday, and they could use this song as their theme!
Oh man, just thinking about the two of them singing and dancing together, Ian almost burst out laughing.
Having Enel intercept Kizaru had been Ian's long-standing plan, and now it was finally paying off. Among the three Marine Admirals' Logia abilities—ice, fire, and light—the only one Ian had trouble with was Kizaru. Even with Armament Haki capable of harming Logia users, keeping up with Kizaru's speed was extremely difficult. Now, with Enel around, dealing with Kizaru could be left to him from now on.
It wasn't that Ian couldn't handle Kizaru, but he found it too troublesome. As they say, there are no wrong names, only wrong nicknames. Kizaru, the Yellow Monkey—this Marine Admiral Borsalino was indeed as agile as a monkey. With the speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit, anyone facing him as an opponent would have a headache.
Troublesome things should be minimized. Ian had captured Enel to use as a fighter specifically for dealing with troublesome characters like Kizaru.
Kizaru's advantage lay in speed. Light itself had no attack power, but when combined with speed and mass, it possessed unparalleled destructive force.
Enel was the opposite. Lightning itself was full of destructive power, while his speed was only used for movement.
While Ian was still thinking, the battle between Kizaru and Enel resumed. Neither was willing to concede to the other, both wanting to compete in speed. Their fight turned into a chase, with few actual direct clashes. Instead, they constantly used their own speed to evade each other's attacks and then counterattack.
This made their battle seem lacking in power but dazzling to watch.
Even Ian had trouble keeping up with them, let alone Hawkins and the others.
By now, Hawkins had gotten up from the ground. Red Flag Drake helped him stand, while Scratchman Apoo wiped blood from the corner of his mouth and moved closer. Along with Urouge, whose body had returned to normal size, the four Supernovas stood together, watching Enel and Kizaru's battle.
But what they didn't expect was that by standing up and gathering together, they attracted the attention of another person.
That was the Pacifista that had been on standby!
When Ian had arrived, the four Supernovas had already been beaten down by Kizaru. The Pacifista's program had judged the situation and stopped attacking, remaining motionless on standby.
When Ian and Enel descended, the Pacifista had scanned them.
But Ian was a Seven Warlord. Although the Pacifista's scan showed Ian's bounty, it listed him as a non-threat.
There was no helping it. Ian had only recently escaped from Marineford, and the Pacifista's data hadn't been updated with this new information, still treating him as an ally.
As for scanning Enel, the Pacifista's program output several question marks.
There was no data on Enel in the Blue Sea at all! No bounty, not even a way to confirm Enel's identity. So in the end, the Pacifista chose to remain on standby, even after Enel started fighting Kizaru.
However, when Hawkins and the others stood up again, and the Pacifista's program determined that Admiral Kizaru couldn't act at the moment, this Pacifista immediately made a judgment to continue carrying out its mission.
It opened its jaw wide, aimed at the direction where Hawkins and the others were, and prepared to fire a laser from its mouth!
At this moment, all four Supernovas were injured. When they noticed the flash of light appearing in the Pacifista's mouth beside them, they had no way to dodge!
They instinctively raised their arms in a defensive posture.
But just then, the flash suddenly disappeared!
Looking up, they saw that the Seven Warlord Black Dragon Ian had somehow appeared in front of "Tyrant Kuma." He floated in midair with his black flame wings spread, one hand pressed against "Tyrant Kuma's" mouth.
"Although I know you're not Uncle Kuma, seeing you like this really makes me..." Ian muttered to himself, and then in an instant, intense electrical flashes burst from Ian's body!
Crackle! The electric light traveled along Ian's arm and conducted into the Pacifista!
Then, Hawkins and the others watched as "Tyrant Kuma" began trembling abnormally all over. Before long, smoke suddenly poured from "Tyrant Kuma's" mouth, and then he collapsed limply to the ground. His massive body hit the earth with a thunderous sound, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This scene left Hawkins and the others completely stunned!
A current Seven Warlord had instantly killed a former Seven Warlord with a single move!? Wasn't that a bit too exaggerated!?
