After that,
there were no surprises.
Once he received the mission, even with Kizaru's usual personality—someone who was always slippery and loved slacking off—
this time,
because it involved a Celestial Dragon,
Kizaru was also fully aware of how serious the situation was.
Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, he hummed a little tune and turned to leave.
Very quickly, he boarded a warship!
As an admiral, he led a punitive fleet, departed from Marine Headquarters, Marineford, and rapidly headed for the Sabaody Archipelago!
And at that moment,
right as the scene changed,
new live comments once again appeared at the very top of the transparent light screen—
[Ichimaru Gin: Tsk tsk tsk, another admiral has been dispatched? But this guy looks a bit sleazy. His appearance really doesn't match the words "highest combat power" at all.]
[Grimmjow: Tch… Kizaru, was it? He doesn't seem that strong! He probably wouldn't even be a match for us Espada, right?]
[Yammy: A Navy punitive fleet? Toy ships like that—I could blow one up with a single punch.]
Mockery.
Contempt.
Utter disdain.
At this moment, the upper half of the screen was densely packed with real-time viewing reactions from experts of the Bleach world as they drifted past.
And when he saw those comments,
inside the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku's face instantly turned livid.
"Damn it…"
"The Espada… them again!"
"Every single time they open their mouths, they're always that arrogant. It's infuriating!"
At the seat of honor,
Sengoku gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger.
The long-distance ridicule from Grimmjow and the others made him feel as if all dignity had been stripped away.
And moreover,
the authority of the Marines
was also severely damaged at this moment.
Because the Espada's mockery had directly made them lose face in front of the entire world's audience!!!
As for Kizaru himself,
being an old hand, he actually did not care all that much.
It was just that
he was somewhat bothered by the attack on his appearance, that was all!
"Oh my…"
"So even the strong people from the Bleach world are waiting to enjoy the show!"
"In that case, the future me absolutely cannot mess this up…"
Straightening his posture,
Kizaru's expression became serious for once.
Beneath those black sunglasses, his eyes stared fixedly at the screen with a grave look.
Because the Sabaody Archipelago
was an event that had not yet happened in the future!
Therefore, even Kizaru himself had no idea how things would develop next!
So,
in truth, he was not much different from the other viewers.
He could only honestly keep watching and silently pray over and over in his heart, hoping that his future self would perform a little better!
When the scene started playing later,
and switched to the plot on the island,
he absolutely must not slack off during the arrest and casually let the pirates go!
Especially the Straw Hat crew!
And especially that brat Straw Hat Luffy!!!
As long as he caught him, or knocked him down on the spot, that would be enough to report back!
At the very least,
he had to avoid
repeating the same fate as the colleagues before him.
Otherwise, because of this ranking video, he would end up disgracing himself before the world!
And if that happened,
then for Kizaru, it really would be too much to bear!!!
"This time, your title as the Background King should finally come to an end, right?"
Staring straight at the screen,
Kizaru then muttered softly to himself.
