Chapter 251: Vivi vs Kizaru

"Ah…this?. Well, you see. It was the only armor available for female gladiators at the arena." 

"Hold on. You were fighting at the arena? We thought you were being held at the castle." Nami interrupted her.

"I was." 

"So, you escaped the castle and instead of coming to meet us, you decided to spend time with a fighting competition?" Nami gave her an irate face.

"Wait!, you are making me sound bad but I had a good reason to enter the competition before meeting you." Clarified Vivi.

"And that is?..."

"They were giving a devil fruit as a reward. And not just any devil fruit…they had the lighting logia. " 

Nami became surprised. "You mean?...the guy from the Sky Island? Enel?"

Vivi nodded solemnly.

"I don't know how it ended up here. I guess after his death, the fruit reincarnated somewhere in Grand Line and it eventually made its way into the Doflamingo black market."

"And did you get it?, that thing must be worth hundreds of millions!" Exclaimed Nami.

Vivi could see her eyes turning into money symbols.

"No…and I would never sell it if I did. You know how dangerous that fruit is. Especially to me" 

Nami chuckled.

"I was just joking, of course…so, where is it then?"

She wasn't joking though.

"I gave it to someone trustworthy." 

Nami raised an eyebrow. She knew there were few people that Vivi trusted outside their crew.

"Who?"

"You are not going not going to believe this!, back at the coliseum I encountered…"

Vivi closed her mouth, her eyes became sharp and she looked behind them.

Nami noticed her girlfriend's change of attitude and was alarmed. Vivi would usually remain very casual even in the face of danger. She would only become this serious when the enemy was a real threat. 

Vivi grabbed Nami and moved her out of the way just in time as something shiny landed on the roof of the building, destroying it and leaving a big hole in it.

"Ohoho, you managed to detect me…quite impressive, and unfortunate. Now I will have to work harder to get you." Admiral Kizaru raised his eyes to meet Vivi's.

"Unless you want to come without resisting, of course."

Nami gasped and her body started to tremble. The Admiral's appearance may look casual and inoffensive. But she had already encountered this man twice and knew how dangerous he was.

Vivi said nothing, she grabbed Nami and flew away, leaving one clone behind to attack Kizaru.

"I guess not…"

She heard him say as she moved at her highest speed possible.

"Where are we going!" Cried Nami, not able to open her eyes as they flew over the city.

The busy streets were soon left behind and they landed on an empty beach.

"Nami, listen to me!" Vivi said with urgency.

"Chopper and Brook were left with the ship, right?"

Nami nodded quickly.

"Good…they are located a short distance that way. you will have to swim a bit." She pointed towards the calm sea.

"You want me to run away and leave you to fight that man?" Nami asked with incredulity.

"Yes!, I want you to-"

"Amaterasu."

Vivi was hit on the back by a beam of light that burned her and sent her tumbling on the sand.

"Vivi!" Cried Nami in alarm. 

"That was not nice,  to run away like with answering my questions."

Kizaru floated in the air for a bit before turning into a ball of light and moving next to Vivi.

He lifted his leg in the air and brought it down on her head.

Vivi reacted and moved out of the way.

"Model 3… shotgun."

The ice weapon formed extremely fast in her hands and she shot without hesitation. 

Kizaru turned into light particles and moved to one side before any of the ice bullets could touch him.

Vivian used this chance to remove the burning cloak of her back.

"Okay, what about this." Vivi sent one clone to him. The clone turned her right arm into a blade and disappeared with a 'soru'.

"Model 4…" Two small spheres of ice emerged next to her hands and transformed into two handguns.

"Peacemakers."

Kizaru strongest point was no doubt his speed. So her strategy was to use a clone to distract him at close range while she shoots at him with her guns. The short handguns had a lot less potency than the larger weapons but they compensated it by allowing her more mobility.

Ice bullets flew all over the place.

Kizaru moved quickly to avoid the ice blade and when a bullet got close, he would turn into a mass of light and disappear from the spot.

"Tsk!" Vivi was starting to get frustrated.

"Yata no magatama." Kizaru crossed his arms and fired a shower of deadly light particles that disintegrated her clone from a safe distance. 

Vivi reabsorbed that water while wasting no time. She had already lost one-third of her mass. Most of that went away with the first clone she made back in the city.

'I can't afford to waste a single drop of water…' She looked at the sea. All of that water...but she was not able to control even a tiny bit of it.

'If only…' there was no point in thinking about that now. She will have to fight this oponent with the tools she has at hand.

'Is not like I'm out of ideas.'

"Model 6…frost gauntlets." 

Great fists made of clear ice were now reinforcing her hands.

Her eyes started to shine brighter and brighter as she focused on enhancing all her physical abilities as much as possible.

"Let's go!"
