...

The Holy Land Mary Geoise, the sacred ground of the Celestial Dragons, its magnificent jade-tiled floor, was now blackened by fire, scarred by lightning strikes and laser blasts.

Kizaru's form flickered in and out of existence as Noir relentlessly pursued him, clinging to his shadow, his blade a blur of motion.

After narrowly dodging Noir's hand yet again, the usually laid-back Kizaru finally lost his patience. His body blazed with light as he levitated into the air.

His shadow remained on the ground, leaving Noir unable to follow him into the sky.

Kizaru gathered golden light, radiating like a miniature sun, unleashing a barrage of laser beams that rained down like a meteor shower.

"Yasakani no Magatama!"

Noir's heart pounded. He dove into the shadows to escape.

Jokes aside, Kizaru's power as an Admiral was undeniable.

The laser beams from Yasakani no Magatama were growing increasingly ferocious. If Noir hadn't been so quick, he would have been riddled with holes.

Compared to Luffy, I'm definitely more like a distant nephew in terms of connections...

Noir emerged from the shadows, his body encased in a black, box-like structure formed from shadow, shielding him from the laser fire.

Multiple black spears shot out from the surrounding shadows, aimed at the airborne Kizaru.

Kizaru twisted and dodged the shadow spears. The light from his Ama no Murakumo intensified, the blade extending into a massive greatsword.

The colossal blade of light, carrying enough force to cleave the sky, sliced through the shadow box.

The dark purple box split in two. A figure, enveloped in a black, shadowy stream, charged forward. Noir's eyes turned completely black, his speed surpassing anything he'd shown before.

Kizaru feigned an opening, enticing Noir to strike. Then, in a flash, his light-speed kick connected with Noir's head.

"Hmm?"

The sensation beneath his foot was wrong. Kizaru looked up in surprise to see that the "Noir" he had kicked had transformed into an intangible shadow.

At the same time, Noir's hand plunged into the ground, precisely where Kizaru's shadow lay.

Noir's body began to melt, turning into a purple liquid that flowed into the ground, merging with Kizaru's shadow.

At the other end of this shadowy connection stood the real Noir, emerging from the shattered remains of the shadow box.

"Since my Shadow Clone is essentially another me, it can also use my mimicry ability. This is quite a useful technique for combat."

Noir pondered the practicality of the move as he charged towards Kizaru once more.

He knew that restraining the light-man through his shadow would only be a temporary measure.

Seeing Noir's relentless assault, Kizaru transformed his entire body into light, escaping the shadow's grasp.

Just as Kizaru was about to vanish, Noir's fingers reached out, barely grazing the Admiral.

Kizaru reappeared a short distance away, his expression darkening.
