Chapter 508

Kizaru states that he is bored, and when he gets bored, he cannot just leave a bounty like Hawkins’ lying around. Kizaru then asks him if he has ever been kicked at the speed of light. Hawkins is suddenly kicked into a building by the admiral, and at the same time, a pirate at Grove 27 collapses without reason. Meanwhile, Kizaru fires a laser into the same building, creating a massive explosion, while Scratchmen Apoo watches in amazement. Again, at the harbor, another man collapses from an unknown injury, and Hawkins walks out of the building’s wreckage unharmed much to Kizaru’s apparent surprise.

Hawkins states that facing an Admiral with just ten “bodies” is unwise, as two straw voodoo dolls appear out of his body and fall to the ground. Urouge then appears flying down the street and comments on the strength of the Pacifista. When he notices Kizaru close by, Urouge states how unfortunate he is, as he is trapped by a Warlord and an Admiral. Hawkins tells Urouge that he does not see death on the latter, and Urouge states that he is grateful for it, even if it is a joke. X Drake then appears and hits the Pacifista with a four-headed axe, damaging it, and Kizaru refers to Drake as a former rear admiral.

Drake states that he never intended to run into Kizaru, but at that time, Urouge activates his ability and grows in size to match the Pacifista. Apoo notices how interesting the situation has gotten, while his crew members tell him to run. Meanwhile, at Grove 12, the Straw Hat Pirates have encountered another Pacifista. Sanji warns Luffy of a shockwave attack, but the Pacifista shoots a laser at Luffy instead, much to the crew’s surprise. Luffy dodges, but he and Chopper are fascinated by the beam. Luffy realizes that this was the enemy who attacked his crew on Thriller Bark, and Franky fires a Coup de Vent at the Pacifista, sending it flying. Luffy then activates Gear 2, saying he will go all out from the start, and his crew mirrors him. Zoro notices that the atmosphere seems to be off, but is unable to identify the cause. At Grove 36, a large figure with a battleaxe is sitting on top of a building. He states that Kizaru is late, and wonders why the admiral has not contacted him. He continues by saying that if they do not hurry, they will all be wiped out.
