Izo felt immense pressure.
A red gleam flashed in his eyes and his Kenbunshoku Haki activated.
But even with Kenbunshoku Haki, he couldn't capture Lin Yan's afterimage.
"How fast is this guy?" he thought, eyes widening. For the first time, he was shocked.
Earlier, he might have complained about Lin Yan always dodging. But now, seeing his true speed, Izo understood what a true quality difference meant.
"Lin... he's too fast! How can someone be this fast?"
Izo's shock grew as Lin Yan displayed an advanced Devil Fruit ability. He became even more cautious, but it was futile. Lin Yan moved like lightning, kicking at Izo with near-light speed. Instinctively, Izo crossed his arms to defend his chest, but it was in vain.
"Rumble!!"
Thunder roared, tearing through the sky. Lin Yan's speed was astonishing, and Izo was blown away, crashing to the ground, creating a long trench.
Lin Yan, hands in his pockets, asked grandly, "Oh, have you been kicked at the speed of light?"
Izo felt extremely uncomfortable. "Cough, cough!" Lin Yan's speed was so fast he couldn't react at all, leaving him in shock.
The other members of Squad Sixteen were stunned.
"He's so fast." "No way, he injured Captain Izo with just one move?"
They exclaimed, unable to believe their eyes. Izo wiped blood from the corner of his mouth, shocked by Lin Yan's strength.
"Lin, you really surprised me!" Izo climbed up, holding his guns tightly. His desire for battle was ignited. Who wouldn't want to compete against a strong opponent? His eyes sparkled as he looked at Lin Yan.
The battle began. Izo ignored his injuries and attacked first, raising his guns at Lin Yan. "Bang,Bang,Bang!!" Countless bullets burst from his hands, but Lin Yan calmly turned his body into elements, letting the bullets pass through him.
Seeing this, Izo's heart tightened, but he smiled slightly, taking out a magazine filled with seastone bullets, a trump card against Devil Fruit users. Izo's hand speed was almost comparable to a certain white-haired ninja from a certain village.
"Bang,Bang,Bang!!" Three shots in a row.
Seeing Lin Yan unmoved, Izo's eyes brightened. Elemental transformation cannot block seastone. If you don't dodge, seastone bullets are guaranteed to hit. Just as Izo thought Lin Yan was going to get hit, three bullets passed through Lin Yan's body as if they hit cotton.
"What??" Izo was stunned. The seastone bullets... passed through his body? Elemental transformation doesn't work like this!
Seeing Izo's shock, Lin Yan remained calm. Elemental transformation cannot block seastone bullets, but was he using elemental transformation? A flash of tomoe appeared in Lin Yan's eyes.
"Kamui!"
