Chapter 023: Clash

Wang Bo saw Milo return and couldn't help covering his face.

Tina's luck was too bad; she was caught red-handed by Milo just as she said those words. Even if Athena had heard, it would have been better than Milo hearing.

In fact, denying the gods and claiming they don't exist—even if the gods heard it—wasn't a big deal. Some petty gods might get angry.

But most gods would just laugh it off or mock the ignorance of mortals.

After all, in the eyes of most gods, whether you believe in me or not, I am always here, never changing.

Of course, gods who live on faith are different.

Most Greek gods do not live on faith; whether you believe in their existence or not, they don't care.

But Tina's words happened to be heard by Milo.

Who is Milo? A Saint serving Athena.

In a sense, they are devout believers of the gods. Anyone who disrespects the goddess will face their fists, and they'll beat the dog's head off.

So when he heard Tina say the gods don't exist, fundamentally denying Athena, Milo found it troublesome and wanted to teach Tina a lesson.

Wang Bo quickly stopped him, "Alright, Milo, she doesn't know anything. Hold back a bit, don't argue with someone who knows nothing."

Tina looked at Wang Bo in disbelief. What did he say?

She was ignorant? Was he mocking her?

"Tina is angry!"

Wang Bo rolled his eyes. Now is not the time for you to be angry.

Milo smiled, knowing Wang Bo was deliberately protecting the woman, and comforted him, "Don't worry, I just want to correct her thinking, make her understand reverence. I won't kill her."

Tina said seriously, "Tina won't lose."

Wang Bo smiled bitterly. You won't lose? Where do you get that confidence? Forget you, even if the Three Admirals and the Four Emperors joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for a Gold Saint.

Ignorance can indeed be terrifying sometimes.

"Alright, but don't go too far, Milo." Wang Bo nodded, no longer stopping Milo. "And don't destroy the tables and chairs in my shop."

"Don't worry." Milo nodded. "It'll be over in an instant."

Tina was fuming; she had never seen such an arrogant human. She was about to use Soru to teach him a lesson, but the next second, she realized something was wrong.

"Can't move..."

She was shocked to find her body couldn't move, as if bound by something. Not to mention the Six Powers, even moving a finger was extremely difficult.

Milo walked step by step to Tina and was about to strike when a streak of light suddenly flew in from outside, turning into a figure and kicking at Milo.

Milo raised his hand and blocked the kick!

Boom!

Two completely different forces collided, sending shockwaves in all directions. The destructive power nearly destroyed the entire bar, but at that moment, Wang Bo raised his hand and pressed down.

The next second, the terrifying force was erased, and the destructive shockwave vanished without a trace.

The entire tavern was calm.

Milo looked up and saw the light transform into a sleazy man in a yellow-and-white striped suit, staring at him in surprise. He said with lingering fear, "Able to block my kick? Are all the people in this world this terrifying?"

"And who are you?" Milo asked.

"You can call me Borsalino." The newcomer was naturally one of the Three Admirals of the Navy, Kizaru, who had eaten the Glint-Glint Fruit. "Miss, who are you, and why are you in conflict with my subordinate?"

"I am Milo, a Saint serving Athena." Milo said calmly. "Your subordinate is blasphemous, daring to deny the existence of the gods. So I wanted to teach her a lesson. But don't worry, I won't kill her, just a lesson."

Kizaru shook his head and said timidly, "That won't do. The Navy's people can only be punished by the Navy."

"So you're going to stop me." Milo turned to Wang Bo and said, "Open the barrier."

Wang Bo sighed, clapped his hands together, and pulled everyone into the mirror space.

But in the eyes of Kizaru and the others, Wang Bo just clapped his hands, and they were still in the same place, nothing changed.

Milo said, "Now we can fight freely. Let me show you how terrifying it is to offend the gods."

Kizaru saw that battle was inevitable and became fully alert. He said seriously, "Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

Milo couldn't help but laugh, "For us Saints, that's just a daily routine."

After all, which of the twelve Gold Saints couldn't use light-speed punches?

Kizaru raised an eyebrow and said cautiously, "That's terrifying!"

The next second, his right foot gathered a large amount of photons, becoming dazzlingly bright, and he kicked at Milo at super speed.

Bang!

But before Kizaru's kick landed on Milo, his chest took a punch, and he flew backward like a cannonball, smashing through the tavern wall and splitting the entire Royal Port in two.

A large amount of houses and earth were destroyed, raising clouds of dust.

Tina and the group of sailors were stunned.

"Admiral... Admiral Kizaru!!"

Milo raised an eyebrow, looking at Kizaru buried in the rubble, "Didn't we agree to fight at light speed? No need for probing, let's start directly."

Wang Bo wanted to laugh.

Kizaru's light-speed kick wasn't really light speed; although fast, it was far from actual light speed. But Milo's light-speed punch was a genuine light-speed punch.

The kind that could shake continental plates with one punch.

The two were not on the same level at all.

Kizaru crawled out of the rubble, looking at Milo in shock. He had never imagined that someone in this world could be faster than him.

Is this the New World?

Milo said impatiently, "Since you won't come up, I'll go over."

Then, Kizaru's face took a punch, and his whole body was scattered into photons, reassembling in another place.

But the moment he finished elementalizing, Kizaru took another punch.

Thud!

His whole body fell from high altitude, like a meteor smashing the earth. The entire Royal Port shook, layers of earth collapsed, the port cracked, as if a great earthquake had struck.

In this disaster, half the port collapsed, raising massive dust, and countless stones fell into the sea.

Milo raised an eyebrow and said, "So, you don't know light-speed punches."
