Chapter 159: Clash of Light and Replacement
Hearing Mio's instructions, Mashi and Erica nodded. Knowing their husbands' abilities, they didn't hesitate and immediately ran off in one direction.
"Since you're here, don't leave," Kizaru said lightly, standing in the sky. A golden light began to emanate from his body. In the blink of an eye, he vanished—only to reappear instantly behind Erica and Mashi.
At the same moment, he launched a kick, golden light blooming from his leg with blinding brilliance.
"How could I let you hurt my partners in front of me?" Mio's calm voice echoed. As soon as Kizaru appeared, Mio's body materialized before him.
Clang!
Raikiri swung forward, intercepting the kick.
The impact rang out loudly as Raikiri blocked Kizaru's attack.
"Slash!"
With a low growl, Mio gripped Raikiri tightly in both hands. A fierce glint lit up his eyes as Armament Haki surged across the blade, coating it completely. In an instant, he slashed downward with immense force, unleashing a terrifying wave of energy.
Buzz!
Kizaru's body turned into light, vanishing just before the slash connected. He reappeared in the distance, easily evading the blow.
