reak of violet electricity suddenly leaped between his fingers, and an invisible magnetic field rippled outwards in an instant.Well, there's no life-field signature of that CP-0 agent.Once cp0 had lef...Under the hateful gazes of the crowd, Jia Ji rubbed his face and left the stage with his geta sandals.
"The second match, Gion versus Commelina!"
As Zefa's loud voice fell, Gion and Kumi both leaped gracefully to the center of the schoolyard.
They exchanged a fleeting glance and simultaneously drew their swords, charging at each other with deadly intent.
Clang clang clang!!
The sound of clashing blades rang out incessantly, sending sparks flying.
However, in the eyes of everyone, Jigen's swordsmanship and fighting ability were obviously much stronger than Kumiru's.
Seeing their performance combined with the newly added elements, their eyes flickered involuntarily, and they all looked at Darren who was standing aside smoking a cigar and watching the battle with a smile.
It's obvious to everyone.
The immense progress both Gion and Kage have made in their abilities is all thanks to the "King of the North Sea."
The duel ended in less than three minutes.
The retreating Gomu was caught in a weakness by Gion, and the military knife in his hand was knocked away.
In the hurried retreat, a golden blade was already pressed against his throat.
The icy, sharp breath of the blade sent a shiver down Gu Miller's spine.
"I lost."
He let out a helpless wry smile.
Gion sheathed his sword, and said in a low voice:
Thank you for the advice.
"The victor... Gion!"
Ze Fa announced the result, and everyone didn't express too much surprise.
"Next up is the third match... Kuzu against Ghost Spider!"
As soon as the voice fell,
"I can't wait any longer!" Ku Zhan exclaimed excitedly, "Finally, it's my turn!!"
"—I yield."
A raspy voice suddenly sounded, causing Ku Zan's expectant smile to vanish instantly, his face falling in an instant.
Everyone looked on in astonishment.
The sinister-looking, menacing ghost spider met their gazes with a calm demeanor.
"I lack the means to pose a threat to the Kúzhán."
Before mastering Armament Haki, a Devil Fruit user...is invincible.
The sailors present pondered for a moment, then all agreed with Spider's viewpoint.
Zefa looked at the Spider Demon, and said in a low voice:
"Are you sure you want to give up right away, Ghost Spider"
He frowned slightly.
"Not retreating without a fight is not a good habit for the navy."
Kizu-no-kami noodles expressionlessly answered:
"I understand what you mean, Ze Fa Master."
Even if there is a one percent chance of winning, I will not give up.
But I didn't.
His eyes did not flinch in the slightest.
“For a battle with a predetermined outcome, there is no point in making a move.”
"... I see. The old man understands."
Zefah fell silent for a second, then a slow smile spread across his face.
"I am pleased that you can persevere in your beliefs."
He didn't persuade any further.
As a teacher, what you need to do is not to force students to change their thoughts, but to guide them onto the right path.
He didn't like those who claimed to be "doing it for his own good" and tried to force him to change his ways.
The most important point is,
Zenitsu has a certain understanding of Inosuke's history and personality.
This bloodthirsty and ruthless naval colonel who eradicated pirates in the West Sea with brute force is definitely not a coward.
He only believes in justice that is relative to "reality," and his actions and methods appear more rational and calm.
Then… the winner of the third match is, Kuzan!
A burst of congratulations followed, but Ku Zan himself seemed listless and downcast, like a frost-bitten eggplant.
He sat on the ground without any pretense, clutching his head frantically.
"It's such a pity..."
Ze Fa, seeing this, smiled and shook his head. He announced the final battle's participants list.
The final match, to decide the last member of the top four... Darren versus Fire Mountain!
As soon as the voice fell, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Darren and Fire Mountain.
The cigar has already burned out.
Darren snuffed out his cigar and slowly rose to his feet.
Unlike ordinary people, his towering figure stood like a mountain rising from the plain, casting a large shadow in the scorching sun.
A suffocating sense of oppression spread out, like a heavy stone pressing down on the hearts of all the sailors present.
The sailors fell silent, their expressions complex as they looked at the burning mountain.
They all knew, facing the Spider Demon was just like facing Ku Zan... For the burning mountain, this was also a battle with a predetermined ending.
The power Kuzan displays is not out of the blue, it can be seen through their actions and their hidden intentions are also becoming increasingly clear.
But that man from the North Sea was different.
The remnants of the military fortress still lay strewn across the ground, like a fallen war beast in ruins, inspiring a chilling sense of awe.
Just now, Darren's ferocity, brutality, and domineering aura were like that of an ancient beast, leaving a deep shadow on each of them.
Kizaru's Devil Fruit ability is invincible, and what Kaido has shown is equally overwhelming and despairing.
And that guy is a Devil Fruit user too!
His Devil Fruit powers haven't been revealed yet!
If we say that Ku Zan is a towering, insurmountable wall standing before us, though formidable, its height can still be faintly discerned.
Then Darren was like that towering mountain that pierced the clouds, so high they couldn't even see its peak!
Suddenly, the schoolyard fell silent.
Everyone stared intently at the burning mountain, silently awaiting his decision.
Even if he made a decision as reckless as the Ghost Spider, burning mountains wouldn't make anyone ridicule him.
After all, with Darren's brutal fighting style, it's highly likely that I would get hurt if we fought.
This way, it is very likely to affect the performance in the next duel.
Darren's victory has secured him a spot in the top four, but the fifth place is still up for grabs!
At least in the current situation, Kaibutsu and Gyoubu are the most popular candidates vying for the fifth spot.
Forgoing this duel and facing the fifth-place contention with a better attitude is clearly the more rational and intelligent choice.
Huǒshāo Shān sat there, under everyone's gaze, in silence.
One second,
Two seconds,
Three seconds.
Under the gaze of increasingly wide eyes,
He suddenly lit a cigar and took a long drag.
Then,
He braced himself with one hand on his sword, enduring the pressure as if it were a mountain…
Stand firm!
A ripple of surprise passed through the crowd.
As the fire burned fiercely at Mount Station, a strange feeling swept over them—a simultaneous sense of relief mingled with a tightening grip on their fists.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long..."
Huo Shaoshan looked up at Darren, a gentle smile still gracing his face, his eyes crinkling at the corners.
He scratched his stubble nervously and said sheepishly:
After all, fighting a monster like you does require quite a bit of psychological preparation.
Darren said softly:
So, are you ready
"Well,"
Huǒshāo Shān nodded, his smile genuine.
"I really do want to get the fifth place, it's a very great honor."
"If I get it, I can go home and make the old man happy. He really wants me to be a 'hero' like Captain. "
But then I thought, if I want to become a hero, I can't back down here, right
Even knowing there was no chance of winning...
Darren looked at the dark-skinned fellow in front of him, pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly:
"Yes, being a hero is a losing proposition... it requires you to constantly do foolish things."
At this, the smile on Huo Shao Shan's face became even brighter.
That's why I want to fight you, and I hope you give it your all.
He drew his saber, gripped it with both hands, and struck a pose of attack, his face filled with longing and anticipation.
After all, I'll eventually meet those other pirates who are called "monsters"... For the sake of justice, I will fight them to the death!
His eyes blazed with intense light.
"Well, then I suppose I must get used to this despair beforehand, mustn't I"
The voice boomed!
At that instant, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment, their hearts pounding with a sudden jolt.
A feeling that can't be described, turning into a burning heat, surging in their chests.
A look of overwhelming satisfaction appeared on Ze Fa's face.
Ku Zan's eyes blazed with flames as he swung his fist powerfully.
Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists tightly.
Gion pursed her lips.
……
Yellow sand dances across the land, burning youth more dazzling than the sun.
At this moment,
A young naval officer who keeps his hair short,
Stand tall.
Stand straight.
Stand taller than anyone else!
His figure, seemed to tower over the "monster" before him, even more imposing and majestic.
"What a curious fool."
Darren suddenly smiled.
The smile wasn't big, but I was really happy.
On the burning mountain, he saw some traits that were very similar to his own.
Then, he slowly extended his right hand.
Driven by some unseen force,
The commodore's metal arm guard melted and writhed, then coalesced into three smooth, silver spheres that revolved around him.
Then, let's do it.
"
Let you experience..."
"Despair."
