Kizaru patted the ice shards off his body and said with a relaxed expression, seemingly unaffected by the freezing.

"Was that invisible energy just now really domineering? It was indeed an interesting kind of energy."

Chen Xuan recalled the energy released from Kizaru's body when he was frozen, her eyes filled with the excitement of a researcher.

"Hey buddy, getting distracted on the battlefield is a big no-no."

As Kizaru spoke, golden light emanated from his right leg, and he delivered a light-speed kick towards Chen Xuan.

"It's alright. When dealing with an opponent of your caliber, getting distracted won't cause any problems."

As Chen Xuan spoke, a gust of wind swirled around her arm. With a parry, she sent Kizaru flying at the speed of light. Then, she clenched her right fist and threw a punch at Kizaru.

"Hey bro, it's no use. I'm a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. Unless you can use Haki..."

Seeing Chen Xuan's punch, Kizaru didn't even think about dodging. After all, he was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and apart from Haki and Seastone, there was basically nothing that could hurt him.

Before he could finish speaking, his Observation Haki issued a frantic warning, and a sense of crisis surged into his heart. Kizaru, sensing the abnormality, also reacted quickly, transforming into a streak of light and distancing himself from Chen Xuan.

"There's something strange about this kid."

Kizaru squinted at Chen Xuan, his previously lazy expression turning serious.

Yasakani no Magatama

When Kizaru got serious, he crossed his arms and his hands flashed with golden light. Several beams of light shot towards Chen Xuan like a torrential downpour.

"Uncle, is all you can do is use your abilities? I'm getting a little bored."

Chen Xuan felt bored watching the light bullets released by Kizaru. She waved her hand and summoned a gust of wind to deflect all the light bullets. At the same time, the magic array of the super-level spell Ragnarok was activated under her feet.

Chen Xuan made a grasping motion in the air towards Kizaru, and a card with a flashing pattern appeared in Chen Xuan's hand. This was the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit within Kizaru.

"How could this be? My abilities have disappeared."

Kizaru, whose powers had been extracted, felt as if something was missing from his body, and a sense of emptiness washed over him. At the same time, he could no longer use his Glint-Glint Fruit powers, which were as easy as breathing and as easy as wielding an arm.

"Kid, what did you do to me?"

Kizaru glared angrily at Chen Xuan and questioned her.

"It's just that I removed the ability you relied on too much, Uncle."

Chen Xuan waved the card in her hand.

"It can actually strip Devil Fruit users of their abilities?"

Looking at the scene before her, Robin felt that it was somewhat challenging the understanding of a knowledgeable scholar.

After all, once a Devil Fruit is eaten, it is absolutely impossible to remove it from the user unless the user dies. This is an ironclad rule regarding Devil Fruits. However, Chen Xuan removed Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit ability with just a light grip, which is simply mind-blowing.

"Kid, give me back my power."

Kizaru picked up a longsword from the ground beside him, a longsword belonging to a marine who had been defeated while chasing the Straw Hat Pirates. As he held it in his hand, thick Armament Haki, as dark as ink, surged from Kizaru's body and wrapped around the longsword.

Then, Kizaru's figure flashed, and a sound of air exploding rang out. In the blink of an eye, Kizaru rushed in front of Chen Xuan, and his long sword, carrying unparalleled power, slashed down at Chen Xuan with a whooshing sound.

"I see, so this is Armament Haki. It's quite an interesting energy."

Chen Xuan took out a metal cube and refined it into a sword. He met the longsword that Kizaru was slashing at him with. As soon as the two swords collided, it was as if Chen Xuan had run into a huge truck. The enormous force, mediated by the metal cube longsword, was trying to crush him.

At the same time, a strange energy emanated from Kizaru's sword, making the sword in Kizaru's hand even stronger and sharper, and continuously eroding and destroying the interior of the metal sword in Chen Xuan's hand, making the metal sword, which was originally comparable to rebar, become as fragile and brittle as paper.

"Yes, it's acceptable."

Chen Xuan sensed everything emanating from the sword, nodded, and smiled with satisfaction.

Chapter 85 A mere general was defeated in one move

Although Kizaru is not a master of physical combat, but rather a strong individual who relies more on his abilities and swordsmanship, as someone who, without any bloodline or special advantages, rose from humble beginnings to become one of the top fighters in the pirate world through sheer hard work, Kizaru's body is a very suitable data sample for Chen Xuan to study physical evolution.

After all, the more data samples the better. Chen Xuan came to the One Piece world this time not just to get a set of Admiral samples and run away. He didn't want to miss any of the current three Admirals, the Four Emperors, or rare samples like Garp and King. Their bodies can be said to be the ultimate display of the extraordinary system in the One Piece world.

Whether it's Big Mom's steel balloon or Kaido's incredibly high defensive capabilities, which allow him to withstand a fall from a great height without any damage, these are extremely rare examples.

"Kid, if you don't want to die, then obediently give me back my abilities."

Kizaru shattered the metal sword in Chen Xuan's hand with a single strike and spoke to her in a low voice.

"Repay? Why should we repay?"

"I got this through my own abilities. If you want to take it back, feel free to try."

Chen Xuan tossed aside the shattered metal longsword in her hand and waved it off indifferently.

"You brat, you'll regret saying those words."

Chen Xuan's words enraged Kizaru. Although he no longer possessed the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit, as one of the three admirals of the World Government's highest combat strength, Kizaru still possessed considerable fighting power. This was the source of his confidence to make Chen Xuan regret her words.

After all, the current three admirals were not chosen simply because they are Logia-type Devil Fruit users, but because they are strong enough even without Devil Fruits.

As for Logia-type Devil Fruits, the combined effect of the two is even greater than 1+1>2, which is why they have always stood at the pinnacle of the sea.

The Admiral's own strength, combined with the power of the Logia-type Devil Fruit, are complementary and indispensable. However, if the Devil Fruit were removed, it wouldn't mean that Kizaru would be weaker; he would simply drop from the first tier to the second tier.

"I don't know if you'll regret it, but I do know that you're definitely going to lose today, uncle."

Chen Xuan shook her head, not taking Kizaru seriously at this moment.

"Kid, then let me show you the strength of a Marine Admiral."

As Kizaru spoke, he exerted force in his arm, and his Haki surged out and wrapped around the longsword. Then, Kizaru swung it fiercely at Chen Xuan, and a crescent-shaped slash that was tens of meters long shot out of the air.

"A tiger without claws is nothing to fear. No, you're only a third-tier creature, not even a tiger. You're just a cat at best."

Chen Xuan conjured another longsword, and then an extremely hot aura emanated from his mouth and nose. The muscles on his entire body bulged and the veins appeared on his body as if he were playing with an explosion.

"All-Encompassing One-Sword Style Secret Technique: Cloud-Radiant Thunderclap!!!"

With a roar, Chen Xuan's figure rushed towards Kizaru like a thunderbolt. In just a moment, Kizaru's crescent-shaped slash was cut in two by Chen Xuan, and the air where Chen Xuan passed was faintly flashing with deep red arcs of electricity.

"So fast, I can't dodge it."

Armed Iron Block Steel

Because Chen Xuan was moving too fast, and because of the Glint-Glint Fruit, she rarely studied physical techniques like Shave anymore, Kizaru clearly had no way to dodge this incredibly fast attack.

Kizaru, being a seasoned veteran who had been through many trials and tribulations, sensed the danger and realized he couldn't dodge. The first thing he did was use one of the Six Powers, Iron Body, and cover his body with Armament Haki, seemingly intending to use it for defense.

Although Kizaru's defense was very strong, unfortunately, Chen Xuan's longsword was more destructive. Kizaru's strongest defense couldn't even withstand it for a second before being broken through by Chen Xuan. His upper body was slashed, and he almost died.

"A naval admiral, he was actually defeated just like that."

"You must be joking, defeating a general with just one strike."

"Amazing."

The Straw Hat Pirates, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed in shock at the sight of Kizaru lying on the ground.

After all, they had encountered two of the three current admirals of the Navy, and they were instantly killed the moment they met either of them. Therefore, in their minds, the admirals were an insurmountable mountain. But now, this mountain had been instantly killed by someone, and the person who killed it was their own teammate. This huge contrast made their minds a little overloaded.

"Armored bastard, I'm here to help you!!!"

"Sanji, Nami's best friend, has arrived."

"The ultimate technique of the Three-Sword Style!!!"

At that moment, thanks to Nami's healing with her memory recovery device, the Straw Hat Pirates' three main fighters, Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro, had fully recovered from their injuries. Without a moment's rest, they grabbed their weapons and charged aggressively toward Chen Xuan, clearly coming to her aid.

"That armored bastard, where's that lewd-looking general?"

Luffy rushed to Chen Xuan first and looked around.

"You must be Nami's friend. Thank you for your help. We're here to support you."

Following Luffy, Sanji also arrived in front of Chen Xuan, thanking her while searching for Kizaru's figure.

"How did everyone disappear in the blink of an eye? Luffy, you lecherous cook, where are you?"

Zoro, the last of the Straw Hat Pirates' three main fighters, held his swords in both hands with the backs of his hands facing the crowd and shouted.

"You directionally challenged green algae head, it's over here."

Sanji angrily roared at Zoro.

"???"

"Curly Eyebrows, Luffy, how did you end up behind me?"

Zoro turned around at the sound and asked in confusion.

"Green algae head, you've come the wrong way, you bastard."

Sanji yelled at Zoro.

"Curled eyebrows, what did you say?"

Upon hearing Sanji's words, Zoro angrily rushed towards Sanji.

"Alright, you two, go deal with that sleazy old man first."

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Luffy quickly stopped them and pointed out the key point.

"Yeah, I almost got so angry at you that I lost my mind."

"Each each other."
