'A Berserk-type power increase. I have to be serious with this.'
Sanji thought to himself as his eyes suddenly shrank rapidly. He saw a figure next to him.
In an instant, he split himself into two parts of lightning bolts as a sharp figure passed through his body.
"Damn! That was fast."
Sanji returned to his normal self by connecting those two bolts of lightning as he muttered. But it didn't take Silent Agent long enough to return.
He used a similar path, and the speed was almost untraceable. However, Sanji was still able to perceive him through the electromagnetic waves surrounding him.
As soon as the Silent Agent rushed near him, Sanji would turn into lightning and use his Observation Haki to dodge the attack from the Silent Agent.
This worked for a few attacks, but the Silent Agent was like a beast. When it realized his straightforward attacks weren't working, it instantly changed the tactics while still in Berserk Mode.
It started following Sanji and shooting a powerful blast of condensed air. These air blasts worked like bullets, making it harder for even Sanji to dodge.
Because the Berserk beast was still using Haki.
In fact, in this mode, his haki had grown significantly stronger, making his attacks even more devastatingly powerful.
Facing so many of these bullets, Sanji tried using his lightning powers to counterattack.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The area where they were fighting shattered like glass. Everywhere Sanji went, explosions would destroy the surroundings.
The buildings fell, but the battle continued.
'How is he following me? Did it increase his Observation? No, more like he can't use Observation Haki. No matter how big that boost might be, it is still affecting his mind.'
'Once his mind is affected, he can't use Observation Haki. But he can still find me. Why?'
Suddenly, Sanji puffed out some smoke while staying in the air. Only then did his eyes fall on the cigarette.
'So, that's why. He can smell my cigarette. His Berserk mode makes him work like a beast. I thought he didn't have this kind of ability because he wasn't a Zoan Devil Fruit user, but I forgot about the boost.'
'It's not one part of his body that was boosted. It's every part, including his sense of smell. So, even if I throw away this cigarette, it can still find me because I still have the smell of a cigarette.'
'But, since he is using smell to find me.....'
A devious idea came to his mind as Sanji smirked and took out several cigarettes. He lit all of them and started moving.
At the same time, several of the air blasts rushed toward him, forcing him to move at a faster speed.
This time, his lightning was not red but blue as usual.
But was it?
Because of the Lightning Devil Fruit, Sanji's Genetics were improving all the time. Even though it hadn't been unlocked completely, it had started to show some effect.
Since Sanji didn't show any physical or mental change, he didn't notice it.
Just when he was trying to run away while scattering his cigarette, he missed one of the air blasts coming his way.
He didn't see it either, as the air blast was too fast for his eyes to perceive.
Bang!
It went straight to his chest and struck him with so much force that he slid to the ground.
"Gah!"
When he stopped, he coughed out blood with quite a painful look. At this moment, his blue lightning spread all around his body as he quickly stood up and started running.
Yes, running!
Even Sanji was perplexed by his actions. Because he should turn into lightning and fly away instead of running.
That would be much faster for him, but for some reason, he ran.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just when he ran away, several air blasts struck the places he left.
The Silent Agent was still chasing after him, but it suddenly moved in a different direction and shot several air blasts.
When Sanji managed to distract the beast, he quickly found a safe spot and stopped.
"Haa! Haa! Haa! That was close. I got attacked on my injured chest. Wait, why am I not feeling that same injuries?"
Sanji started panting hard before he took some deep breaths and checked his condition.
When he realized the situation of his chest, he couldn't help but feel strange.
Then, he remembered Liam's words about his genetics, and his expression became complicated.
"According to Liam, I won't change because of my genetics, but I still can't accept this power. But now, it just saved my life."
He quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about his old family. Instead, he raised his hand and stared at the blue lightning channel all around it.
The next moment, he turned his hand into lightning, but when he did that, he felt strange.
He felt weak.
'Could it be that my Germa genetics affected my Devil Fruit powers in some strange manner. That should be possible. After all, every person has an energy source.'
'If some changes are made to the energy source, it can produce a completely different result. So, my body did make some changes to my devil fruit, but this can only affect me when I don't turn myself into lightning.'
'So, for it to work, my body must be normal, or rather genetically working in tandem with my devil fruit. So, that's why I was running instead of flying with my Devil Fruit.'
"Roar!"
Just when he was thinking about his newly awakened powers, he heard a roar coming his way.
Sanji realized that he was in deep trouble. Because his Observation Haki could already sense the Silent Agent coming his way.
But he didn't feel fear. Even though this kind of confidence was similar to before, it was also different.
The moment Silent Agent appeared in front of him and punched forward, Sanji simply vanished like a bolt of lightning, appearing behind Silent Agent.
He quickly ran on top of Silent Agent and waved at his face.
Seeing this, the berserk agent simply punched towards his face.
Bang!
He struck his face, sending him sliding on the ground. He only stopped because he collided with the rubble of a broken house.
When he stood up, he instantly smelled Sanji's position and roared. Because of his Berserk Mode, his skin had started to melt.
He was feeling even more pain in every movement he made, but he didn't stop this mode.
It's either a life and death situation for him.
If he killed Sanji, not only could he survive, but also pass on the news to the World Government.
But if he couldn't kill Sanji, he would die. Because Sanji wouldn't let him live after knowing that information.
So, when he rushed toward Sanji, he clenched both of his fists and started punching the air.
His attack created several powerful blasts of hot steam that were empowered by his physical strength and Haki.
When these attacks rushed towards Sanji, even he had no choice but to dodge them.
Sanji could dodge one, two, or even ten. But the Silent Agent just kept throwing punches.
One after another, hundreds of punches were thrown towards Sanji.
At this moment, Sanji became silent. He saw the blood spilling all over the ground. He saw the skin melting.
He knew just how painful the situation was, but this man just kept attacking.
Even with all that pain, he didn't stop.
Seeing this, Sanji ran directly to the other side of the Sabody Archipelago. When he was moving, he saw Zoro's battle, Liam's battle, and even Luffy's battle.
When he saw Luffy's battle, he was surprised and worried. But Luffy also sensed him and gave him a thumbs up.
This put Sanji's mind at ease as he reached the other side and crouched down. He moved into a running position.
When Luffy gave Sanji a thumbs up, Akainu didn't sense anyone until he realized that Sanji was so fast that even his Observation Haki was slower than his.
This made his face ugly, but before he could do anything, he saw a blue blur in front of him.
Not only him, but Kizaru also saw this, and his expression was something else.
Because he saw someone faster than him, faster than his light.
So many things happened, but the Silent Agent had only thrown ten more punches when Sanji returned.
While dodging every single air blast, Sanji made his way in front of the Silent Agent, jumped in the air, and took a kicking position before spinning in the air.
The speed at which he moved and spun created a lightning drill on his foot as he charged forward.
[Final Shot- Lightning of the Sun God]
The blue drill pierced through every single air blast before it reached the Silver Agent's chest and pierced through his chest.
The heat from his lightning dried his blood as Sanji pulled back his leg.
Thud!
