As Zephyr's powerful words fell, a group of marines spontaneously made way for an open space.
Kuzan smiled and strode to the center of the clearing.
Zephyr squinted his eyes and observed Kuzan, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
This kid always gives people a lazy feeling, but when he encounters something he is interested in, he will show excitement and fanaticism.
Two obviously completely different temperaments, but they blended perfectly into him.
I'm so motivated...
Zephyr murmured in his heart.
It is a common practice in the training camp to rank the top five positions through duels. On the one hand, it stimulates the students' competitive mentality, and on the other hand, it is also a good opportunity for the instructors to observe the students.
Students can get to know each other through interactions with each other, and instructors can see their strengths and weaknesses more clearly and teach students in accordance with their aptitude in future teaching.
At this time, Doberman, who had a scar on his face, stepped out of the crowd with a stern face and stared at Kuzan with cold eyes:
My goal was originally Darren. I wanted to see with my own eyes how powerful the so-called 'King of the North Sea' really is. After all, during this period, I have heard his name so many times that I even got a little tired of it.
But now it seems that if I want to fight Darren, I have to deal with you first, Kuzan.
Before coming to the headquarters for training, Doberman was the highest officer in the East Sea and served as the admiral of the East Sea.
One of the admirals from all over the world, he had heard of Darren's famous name a long time ago.
To a certain extent, the excellence and excellence of Darren, the Beihai Admiral, put a lot of pressure on him and made him feel strongly dissatisfied.
Although Darren once successfully defeated the great pirate Waldo and survived the battle with Gol D. Roger, he has proven his strength.
But Doberman doesn't think Darren is really that strong.
After all, in the operation to defeat the Ward Pirates, General Sengoku and Rear Admiral Borsolino also participated in the battle.
As for the confrontation with Roger, Vice Admiral Karp and Rear Admiral Dragon were also present.
Who knows what the real situation is?
Only by truly fighting... Even if you lose, you have to be convinced of your defeat!
That's really sorry, Darren is my opponent.
Kuzan scratched his head in annoyance and looked troubled.
Then I won't be polite.
Doberman slowly pressed the handle of the saber at his waist, and his body sank slightly.
Following his movements, the aura exuding from Doberman suddenly became thick and solemn.
The strong wind blew up the yellow sand, and the snow-white cloak flew up.
Doberman reached forward with his right foot and bent his left knee. His figure was tense and ready for action.
Kuzan narrowed his eyes.
Such a beautiful drawing gesture... Gion's eyes lit up.
Want to solve the battle with one move?
Darren smiled calmly.
Everyone fell silent and watched this scene with bated breath.
They didn't want to miss any details.
After all, no matter who the outcome is, the winner of this duel will become their competitor.
No one would miss the opportunity to gain information on their competitors' combat capabilities.
The air gradually became oppressive.
Suddenly--
Yellow sand rolled up and danced.
Doberman's figure pounced like a cheetah, so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.
A brilliant sword light suddenly exploded.
In an instant, his momentum changed from strong to sharp... and Zhan Mu's constant toughness!
The level of this sword is as sharp as that of a swordsman who can cut steel!
Laugh!
An exaggerated cut appeared on Kuzan's shoulder, but no blood spurted out.
Wisps of crystal ice crystals danced up, reflecting the brightness of the sun, and quickly disappeared in the strong wind.
Doberman's figure appeared behind Kuzan.
He stared blankly at his ice-condensed saber and palm, finding it hard to accept for a moment.
The other marines present also stared at this scene dumbfounded, their pupils constricted.
Natural type!?
Is that...ice?
This is too incomprehensible...it's impossible to win...
No, look at Doberman's hands and sword, they are frozen!
This...could it be...
They looked at Doberman's hand and sword, and their expressions gradually turned horrified.
The art of sword drawing itself pursues the ultimate speed and explosion. The whole body's power is poured into one sword to maximize the damage.
Doberman's sword fully demonstrates the characteristics of the sword-drawing technique.
With such a speed of drawing the sword, even if Kuzan is a natural Devil Fruit user, the elementalization of the fruit's ability alone will never be able to freeze his hand and sword.
There is only one situation where this can be done:
Kuzan successfully captured the trajectory of Doberman's sword, and when it hit his body, he actively displayed his elemental ability.
To do this, one must have excellent dynamic vision, neural reactions, body speed, and good control of Devil Fruit abilities!
Monster...
It is indeed a monster...
All the marines were stunned.
So strong...
Kake also murmured in confusion.
He roughly simulated in his mind what it would be like to be Doberman, and soon his face fell.
There is no chance of winning at all!
Even if Kuzan doesn't use his Devil Fruit powers, he still can't be that guy's opponent!
...It's such a fast sword.
At this time, Kuzan scratched his head and sighed softly.
The sword marks on his chest were filled with ice crystals inch by inch and finally returned to normal.
Stop joking...
Doberman gritted his teeth.
He slowly stood up and turned around. The ice crystals on his palms and saber shattered and shook off.
You are indeed a 'monster'. It crushes you in all directions and is so powerful that it makes people despair...
Doberman sheathed his saber, shook his head, looked at Kuzan with complicated eyes, and after a moment of silence, said dully:
I lost... Thank you for your advice, Kuzan.
Kuzan gave him a hearty smile and a thumbs up:
Your sword is also very powerful!
Doberman was startled, and then an unknown fire suddenly surged out of his chest, making him feel that Kuzan was laughing at him.
But when he met Kuzan's sincere and passionate eyes, he was immediately stunned.
This guy seems to be serious.
Some words, when spoken by certain people, sound insincere and provoking, and they sound like they deserve a beating.
But when the same words were spoken by Kuzan, a passionate young man at this time, they seemed sincere.
Doberman pursed his lips, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
There's no shame in losing to a monster.
But I will catch up with you.
His eyes quickly became determined.
Kuzan grinned and said:
I am waiting for you!!
Doberman smiled wryly again.
This guy is really annoying.
Seeing this scene, Zephyr, as an instructor, nodded with satisfaction, and then announced loudly:
First match, winner, Kuzan!
The second duel begins now... Gion versus Mozambia!
