----------
Borsalino was lounging on a sun lounger with his legs crossed, the sunlight casting a particularly bright glow on his short black hair.
His fingertips danced rapidly across the phone screen, moving so fast they were almost a blur.
The hero he controlled weaved through the canyon like a flash of lightning, always managing to dodge incoming enemy skills with incredible speed just before they hit.
"Oh my, another missed skill," Kizaru said, a hint of amusement playing on his lips as he watched Daji's frustrated expression.
He leisurely took a sip of coffee, as if all of this was just a way to pass the time.
Suddenly,
Three big guys jumped out of the bush. Kizaru's lips curved into a smile. "Too slow." His hero instantly teleported to a safe position, fought back with a combo, and secured a triple kill in an instant.
On the screen, the enemy heroes fell one by one, his movements smooth and flawless.
"How scary," Kizaru said, winking at the live stream camera with a hint of teasing in his voice. "Almost got ambushed."
This highlight video quickly topped the trending searches,
#LightSpeedKizaru, Eighteen Keys in One Second!
Internet users marveled, the comment section instantly flooded with various jokes and praises:
"That hand speed was definitely trained by being single for a hundred years!"
"Suggest a test!" another comment joked, questioning if such moves were even humanly possible.
"Only the hard crowd control combo of Donghuang + Liang + Daji can counter him, right?"
On the training ground,
Kizaru was still lying on the sun lounger, a confident smile on his face.
On his phone screen, likes and comments from fans poured in like a tide, but he seemed indifferent; being older meant being calm about both praise and criticism.
Soon,
A mysterious team began specifically targeting Kizaru.
When he saw the opposing team pick the lineup of Donghuang , Liang, and Daji, Kizaru's sunglasses finally slid down his nose.
He frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "These young people nowadays really have no fighting honor~~"
Kizaru leaned lazily on the sofa in the Marine Headquarters office, his finger gently swiping across the phone screen.
The bright words "Defeat" flashed on the screen, his famous ninety-nine win streak coming to a sudden halt at this moment.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, unable to believe it was real.
"Oh dear, oh dear," Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses, the lenses reflecting the detailed information of the opposing team.
When he saw the ID [Sweet Commander Katakuri], his mouth twitched slightly.
What surprised him even more was the uniform team name prefix of all five opponents: [Big Mom Pirates].
"This is really... scary," Kizaru slowly sat up, his finger gently tapping the screen, a hint of thought in his eyes.
He recalled the details of that game: the perfect bush ambush by the opponents, the precise skill chaining, and that damn Katakuri, who could predict his movements every time.
Looking back now, this was clearly a planned ambush!
"No wonder they used the hard crowd control combination of Liang, Donghuang, and Daji..." Kizaru pouted, a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice. "They even specifically banned the hero I'm best at..."
He clicked on the match history and found that all five opponents were newly registered accounts, with a perfect record of 0 losses.
All win streaks???
A bit crazy.
"They really went to great lengths to target me," Kizaru's fingertip gently slid across the screen, bringing up the replay of Katakuri's final perfect engage.
That predicted flash ultimate directly shattered his dream of a hundred-win streak.
He watched the screen, Katakuri's skill usage was incredibly precise, every detail seemed carefully calculated.
Kizaru couldn't help but nod, a complex smile appearing on his face: "This kid, he really has some skill."
He leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes slightly, recalling every detail of the match in his mind.
The opponent's teamwork was incredibly coordinated, every skill seemed like it had been carefully practiced.
Although Kizaru was powerful, under this carefully planned ambush, he had to admit that he had been a bit careless.
"Oh dear, oh dear, it seems I can't underestimate these young people too much." Kizaru muttered to himself.
He put down his phone, stood up, and walked to the window, looking at the Marine Headquarters training ground, the sunlight shining on him, looking particularly bright.
"Perhaps, the world of this game has also become increasingly interesting."
...
The next day,
The entire Sea was in an uproar over a video.
This video was released from Big Mom's official account and instantly caused a huge stir on the TikTok platform, exploding like a depth charge.
The video's views skyrocketed in a short period, and countless people flooded into the comment section, leaving messages one after another.
At the beginning of the video, Katakuri's distinctive scarf fluttered slightly in the wind. He sat on a luxurious pirate ship, the sunlight falling on his face, making him look particularly stern.
He looked at his phone, and his deep voice slowly sounded, as if carrying unquestionable authority: "I heard... someone claims to be 'Invincible'?"
Right after, the video cut to game highlights, the scenes switching rapidly, each shot precisely capturing Kizaru's "miserable state":
The hero controlled by Kizaru was ambushed by the five members of the Big Mom Pirates in the bush as soon as he left the fountain, instantly destroyed.
On the screen, Kizaru's hero's health bar instantly emptied, turning into ash.
Katakuri predicted Kizaru's every movement, perfectly chaining controls.
His skills were used with incredible precision, each time as if he had calculated Kizaru's positioning in advance, leaving Kizaru with no ability to fight back.
Finally, the scene where Kizaru's 99-win streak mark was heavily stamped with "Defeat".
On the screen, those two bright red words seemed to declare Kizaru's failure, leaving countless viewers shocked.
"This game... is too simple." Katakuri said coldly at the end of the video, his eyes filled with disdain. "Anyone is welcome to challenge. One loss, one billion Berry."
The video instantly ignited the entire internet, and related topics quickly topped the trending list:
