pression manic and contorted, and his eyes couldn't help but drop."You are free."He said."Freedom"A bitter expression crossed the woman's face. She turned her body slightly, exposing her bare back to...The earth groaned with a deep, heavy rumble, and billowing smoke was pushed out by the waves of air.
Everyone stared in stunned silence at the collapsed school building, their mouths twitching.
This kick... just looking at it makes my heart ache.
Wait a minute!
Darren hit Kwanza!
His attack... actually worked!
Could it be Darren…
Those who were unaware suddenly reacted, their eyes shifting to Darren in unison, pupils contracting.
The rear admiral was still in his fighting stance, a heavy pair of black boots gleaming with an oppressive aura. A faint, invisible wave of power swirled around them like a spiral hurricane.
"Armed Color: Overwhelming!!"
"Darren has mastered Armament Haki!"
"This kind of talent... it's simply monstrous!!"
"Unbelievable..."
"…"
The sailors looked unbelievably shocked, as if they couldn't believe their own eyes.
Just then—
"Darren, you little punk!! A deserted military fortress is bad enough!! But a teaching building Couldn't you have kicked it to the other side!"
Ze Fa gritted his teeth and roared angrily, his heart almost breaking with pain, his face contorted in agony.
Luckily, the training camp's teaching work hadn't officially begun, so the teaching building didn't have any administrative staff stationed there yet. Otherwise, it would have been a major disaster!
Even so, rebuilding a skyscraper is a huge expense!
Another time, another chance for the "Warring States" era to slap itself in the face.
"How much does this cost!"
A number of naval officers: ...
Master Ze Fa, is this a time to be concerned about this
"I'm sorry, Teacher Zefa. For all the losses incurred during the duel, I will compensate you at twice the original price."
The boots dangling in mid-air slowly retracted, and Darren chuckled and said something.
Ze Fa was taken aback.
"Well then, good. Continue."
Everyone: ...
Their mouths twitched, and they quickly thought of another question.
But, is the battle over
"Praise that monster...it was ended"
They widened their eyes and looked towards the ruins of the teaching building.
Rolling thick smoke billowed, and between the cracks of the collapsing building walls, a glimmer of crystalline white slowly emerged.
Inch by inch, ice crystals crept from the depths of the ruins, blossoming into brilliant frost along the way. Finally, they converged before the ruins, forming a humanoid shape.
"Cough, cough, cough…"
Ku Zan's mouth bled a shockingly bright red, half his face visibly swollen.
But his eyes, when they met Darren's, shone with a brilliance unlike any other.
"Awesome... Armed Color Haki... You truly are worthy of being my opponent!!"
It's really something... Darren watched Kwanza fighting with such zeal, and couldn't help but mutter a silent sigh.
If any one person in the arena were to change, they wouldn't be able to "face" their own strike.
Even after undergoing his own "special training," becoming tough-skinned and skilled in martial arts combat, even Jia Ji would likely be severely injured and rendered unconscious under the force of that kick infused with Armament Haki.
He acted as if nothing had happened.
'Monster-level physical fitness'
Darren's mind suddenly flashed with the terrifying scene of Sakaski enduring several blasts from Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit during their previous battle.
'No, it's not just that.'
He glanced at the dilapidated teaching building, and quickly understood.
Normally, your own attacks have three segments of damage.
The first segment is purely physical power and explosiveness.
The second damage is the secondary explosion of armament color domineering.
And the third instance of damage was Ka-Zar's impact with the teaching building, which then buried him.
It's very obvious that the damage in the third paragraph was directly negated by Kuzan's elemental immunity.
No wonder that in the later stages, battles between Great Admirals and Emperor-level powerhouses are measured in units of time like days.
Each of them trained their bodies to superhuman levels. Even the most brutal and savage hand-to-hand combat would be impossible to decide a winner in a short amount of time.
"Shall we continue, Kuzan"g squirrel nodded deeply and said in a low voice:"Rest assured, I have never been negligent in my practice for a single day."Darren nodded in response.At this moment, a sudden urgent buzzing sound of...
