Chapter 381: Want Kaminari’s Life?

Clear water with a faint blue glow appeared out of thin air. In an instant, it formed into a giant marlin, four to five meters long, with a thick cylindrical body and a sharp, spear-like snout.

"Blue Marlin, the largest and strongest king among marlins." In midair, Kyoka suddenly recalled what 'Mazara' meant.

"Watch out! It's coming!!" Tetsutetsu shouted.

Boom!

The floating Blue Marlin moved its tail fin. As if it had generated a mysterious, powerful force, it pierced through the air like a high-pressure water cannon, rushing forward at high speed.

Facing the attack, Kyoka didn't hesitate. She raised both palms and activated her battle suit, firing two single-beam Sound Cannons.

Bang! Bang!

The two sound blasts collided head-on with the Blue Marlin. The first shot was pierced straight through by its sharp snout, but the second successfully struck its body, causing a splash of light-blue water to explode outward.

"Hmph, useless," Blue Gun sneered.

He casually raised his right hand, and a large volume of water condensed in the air, pouring back into the damaged Blue Marlin.

Within moments, the Blue Marlin regenerated completely and surged back into the air, engaging Kyoka in a fierce midair battle.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Continuous sonic booms and piercing sounds filled the night sky.

It had to be said, due to Kaminari's influence, this girl's combat power had far exceeded her original timeline.

While raising his own strength, Kaminari had also, whether consciously or unconsciously, pushed those around him to grow stronger. Kyoka, Momo, and Tetsutetsu were clear examples of this.

Bang!

Water burst apart as Tetsutetsu's powerful iron legs kicked hard against the water wall behind Blue Gun, only to be forcefully bounced back by the high-speed current.

"Huff…"

Retracting his leg, Tetsutetsu brushed a hand through his silver hair and muttered, "I remember now. This is one of Kaminari's moves, Thunder Aegis."

He recalled the intense moment during the Sports Festival cavalry battle when Kaminari used the so-called absolute defense of Thunder Sky to stand against Todoroki, Bakugo, and the others.

"So you figured it out, huh? Hahaha!"

Blue Gun grinned proudly. He glanced at the water wall surrounding them and smiled.

"That's right. This move, Water Formation Wall, is modeled after Kaminari Denki's Thunder Sky, which he used at the Hero Sports Festival."

Before receiving his current Quirks from All For One, Blue Gun had very limited control over water. In order to grow stronger, he had to hone his techniques.

So he actively sought out information about Quirk techniques through various channels, constantly wondering how he could apply them to his own abilities.

Naturally, he had watched the famous Hero Sports Festival. He even bought tickets to see it live every year.

At this year's festival, Kaminari's Thunder Sky left the biggest impression on him. It was only then that he truly understood the power of water. Beyond quantity and speed, it also lay in rotation.

Blue Gun had always looked down on the lowly underlings beside him. In his eyes, the biggest difference between him and them was his capacity to think and learn.

He firmly believed that even if his Quirks were flawed, he could still become powerful through continuous thought and training.

And now, he had succeeded. He had gained the favor of that man and was granted Water Convergence and Water Manipulation from Waterhouse, perfecting his Quirk and earning a place among the elite.

"Even if I don't know why my master wants to see you, I'll do everything I can to complete this mission and repay the supreme grace he's given me."

Blue Gun's expression turned fervent, like a zealot with unwavering belief.

"Hyaaah!"

With a loud shout, high-pressure water jets sprayed from the rapidly spinning Water Formation Wall, striking Tetsutetsu's steel body in quick succession.

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.

The powerful force of the water blasts pushed him back repeatedly, even causing some discomfort.

"Not bad, knock-off," said Tetsutetsu, soaked and dropping his crossed arms, raising his head to grin at Blue Gun.

"Really? Then let's see how long you can last. The humidity in this Abab Forest is enough to keep me going all day." Blue Gun spoke smugly, lifting his chin.

Whoosh.

As soon as the words left his mouth, his pupils contracted. Tetsutetsu had vanished from view in an instant.

"Huh? All day? What nonsense. I've got plans to finish this fast."

"To your left!"

Blue Gun quickly turned toward the voice, but before he could see clearly, the water wall on that side suddenly exploded.

But this time, the effect far surpassed anything earlier. The exploding water didn't just splash. It surged inward, driven by an overwhelming force.

"What?!"

Boom.

A figure shot out from the bowl-shaped Water Formation Wall and slammed into a thick tree trunk in the distance.

"You copied one move from Kaminari and dared to come at me acting all smug? Do you know how many times more I've trained under him?"

Tetsutetsu slowly lowered his silver-white steel leg, staring coldly at Blue Gun, who was struggling to rise against the tree.

"Cough, cough..." Blue Gun's face twisted in pain as he clutched his chest, blood dribbling from his mouth.

Despite that, he smirked and said mockingly, "You should probably look up. See where the little girl went."

"What?!" Tetsutetsu's face changed as he instinctively looked up at the sky. Kyoka and the water-made Blue Marlin had vanished without a trace.

"Her name is Kyoka Jiro, right? The bassist and lead singer of the Pikachu Band, right?" Blue Gun laughed.

"Your target is Kyoka? Why?!" Tetsutetsu's tone turned threatening. "I'm warning you, if anything happens to her, you're not walking away from this."

But Blue Gun ignored the threat and activated his Quirk again, causing light-blue water to gather around him.

"The consequences you're talking about must be Kaminari Denki. But unfortunately for him, he might not even survive tonight."

Blue Gun's expression turned sinister.

"Because someone important has already made it clear. They want his life."

To him, Tomura Shigaraki, successor to All For One and the current leader of the League of Villains, was the true top figure.

"So that's it... your target is Kaminari!" Tetsutetsu clenched his fists and shouted, "But you're underestimating him. With the trash-level skill you villains have, you're just dreaming!"

"Shut your mouth!"

At the word "villain," Blue Gun flew into a rage. The water around him transformed into dangerous small Blue Marlins that shot forward.

"You'd better remember this well. I am an elite. Blue Gun."
