a fiery orange plume, detaching from the warship's hull and streaking away across the distant ocean in a long trail of flame.Two seconds later, a dull explosion echoed from the surface of the sea. A...As soon as the words left her lips, Gion nodded toward Ze Fa and walked out of the crowd.
A tall and slender figure, with a head of black hair cascading down like a waterfall, styled in a neat high ponytail. She has a slim waist and long legs, wearing a pair of black military boots. Her overall appearance exudes a valiant and graceful beauty.
It instantly captured the attention of everyone present.
"Hehehe… See that That's my childhood sweetheart!! Gion is about to accept my confession and become my girlfriend!"
Having added a pig-faced expression to his already beaming countenance, Ku Zan stood beside him, and he chuckled with a sly grin.
"Is that so I don't believe it."
Ku Zan scratched his head with an earnest expression.
"She's been cold to you."
The smile on her face froze instantly.
……
Compared to Gion's eye-catching presence, her rival Mozambique seemed rather ordinary.
His black skin was slightly tanned, he had short dark gray hair, and there was a ferocious scar on his left cheek.
"Admit it, I don't kill women."
Mo三比亞 looked at Gion with cold eyes, and said coldly.
The Gion remained silent.
She calmly pressed the hilt of the sword hanging at her waist, slowly drawing the long blade.
The friction of the golden blade and its scabbard gave off a sharp, hissing sound.
The elongated blade reflected a dazzling sheen in the sunlight.
Just as she drew her sword, Gion's aura shifted drastically. It turned cold and sharp.
Mocambique's face turned pale, and he suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.
This atmosphere...
He gritted his teeth, his figure suddenly shooting out from its spot. He drew his military saber with both hands and swung it down towards the exquisitely beautiful face of Gion.
A gust of wind rushed in, tousling the black strands of hair around Jinyuan's temples.
Facing this powerful and heavy blow, her eyes did not show the slightest ripple.
Everything before her seemed to vanish in this moment, countless battle scenes flashing through her mind at lightning speed, finally condensing into the image of a man with black hair.
Ding!
The military knife was pressed against the golden blade, the edge only one centimeter from Ginyo's forehead, but it couldn't move any closer.
Mosambiques pupils shrank.
My own slash... it was actually blocked so easily!
"So slow..."
For a moment, he seemed to hear a cold voice.
A sudden gust of wind!
One wisp after another of silver light continuously emerged, rapidly enlarging before his eyes!
"How is that possible!"
A bone-chilling scream echoed through Mozambique.
Then.
A cold exclamation was heard.
A majestic crescent-shaped blade of energy, a torrent of cutting power, enveloped him in an instant.
Mozambique's towering frame was like a wave in a raging storm before the blade that ripped through the air, hurled back dozens of meters and crashing to the ground.
He struggled to his feet, kneeling on one knee, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at the figure in the distance.
The finely crafted steel blade shattered into countless pieces with a clatter, leaving only the hilt.
The schoolyard was deathly silent.
Everyone stared in stunned silence, some couldn't believe their eyes.
Although Mozambique wasn't among the top-ranking officers in their group, they were considered mid-level.
But he actually lost so completely!
Flash sale!!
If his opponent was a monster like Kuzan, it would be understandable.
But his opponent... is Gion!
"The strength of Gion has increased a lot......What exactly did she go through in the North Sea"
Darmesia's face was full of disbelief as she whispered.
He used to work at the headquarters and knew Gion as well.
The strength that Kajiben is showing right now, compared to the last time we met, is simply amazing!
In the center of the schoolyard.
Gion herself stood silently, gazing at the famous sword in her hand.
The gleaming blade reflected her slightly startled expression.
"Turns out... I've gotten so much stronger without even realizing it..."
She murmured.
When she was in Beihai, her only opponent was Darren.
So when facing Mobius' attack just now, the image of Darren attacking her subconsciously flashed in her mind.
Compared to the despair she felt facing Darren, that feeling of being utterly crushed...Mombasa's attacks seemed riddled with holes and painfully slow in her eyes.
"It's actually so easy, this is really strange... But that Mozambique attack was too slow and weak, wasn't it..."
Adding a bit of stubble to his chin, Jiājì stroked it thoughtfully.
Hearing his mumbling, Darren smiled.
The special training I gave to Gion and Kage was hell-level.
After all, the Warring States Period sent them to the North Sea, and they had plans to take care of themselves.
Intense combat, brutal physical clashes, and ruthless pressure, coupled with the two of them possessing extraordinary talents beyond ordinary people…Even Darren himself was taken aback by how quickly Kage and Gion were improving in strength.
They simply hadn't had the opportunity to go all out since leaving North Sea. The formidable foes they faced were legendary pirates like Bandy Waldo and Roger, making it impossible to compare with their own progress in combat power.
This is one of the rules of this world, the tiered ranking of combat power is not actually that obvious.
Setting aside cases of absolute domination, the outcome of most battles and skirmishes can only be determined by actually fighting them.
"Victory, Gion!"
ZeFa directly announced the victory of Gion.
Gion sheathed her sword, saluted Mozambique with a military salute, and then turned to walk back into the crowd.
Mozambique gritted his teeth, stood up reluctantly, and returned the salute.
"The next one..."
The duel between number "3" and number "4" was quickly decided.
The victors were Rear Admiral of the Sea, Naval Captain Fires Mountain, and Lieutenant Commander Gumer from the Great Route.
These two battles also had many commendable points, making Zefa nod frequently.
Huoshao Shan and Guguil both excelled in swordsmanship. The former's style was heavy yet imbued with a decisive ferocity, while the latter favored a more steady and grounded approach, with few openings.
Next, the fifth contestant, please take your place.
ZeFa announced the start of the next duel.
"Darren to Dalmasia!"
The moment his words fell, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the audience.
Rogers Darren, "The King of the North Sea," the new star of the Navy who defeated the pirate Baron Bundy Waldo!
For a name that has been heard so often, they've already heard too much.
And at this moment, they will see with their own eyes the power of this man!
"So, is it truly well-deserved, or merely a hollow title" Ghost Spider said coldly.
"Someone who can be acknowledged by Rear Admiral Kapu is definitely not a weakling." Huo Shaoshan grinned with a wide, kind face.
"Just wait and see, it's a pity I was eliminated." Dobberman wiped his military knife, somewhat helplessly.
Under the gaze of all eyes,
The man from the North Sea slowly removed his snow-white cloak from behind and walked to the center of the schoolyard.
As he moved, everyone in the room fell silent.
The atmosphere became heavy.
A subtle pressure, like a tide, spread outward.
Here it comes! Here it comes!! You truly are worthy of my recognition as an opponent!! So cool!!
Ku Zan's eyes blazed with intense light.
"Kaji, hiding behind Kuzan's back, twitched his mouth and muttered."
"Here it comes... I have a feeling this schoolyard won't be standing after he's done with it..."
...

Well, I know it's short, can you write one more chapterstened more and more, feeling increasingly uncomfortable. A sense of shame welled up inside him.Darren risked his own life to fight against Bundy Waldo, but deep down, a thought occurred to him: he sh...
