Zen is only able to defend. Gratius was the most potent enemy Zen had faced till now. His eyes were on a whole other level. Zen is losing more and more blood and to make the situation worse, his heart is also in a bad state. It is unable to pump the blood and he was suffocating due to lack of oxygen. Gratius said," Zen, you truly are a potent enemy. However, you are only able to fight at your current level. Your other self is way too weak. You can only fight me if you can completely awaken." Zen is unable to move, again on his knees, spitting blood. He fell from his knees. Gratius threw steel rode and changed positions with the black rode. It got Zen in his chest from the back. His heart completely stopped beating. Sweyn is also unable to fight and both of them lost. Both of them are on the verge of death now. Gratius walked to the back of the ship leaving the defeated people there on the front. At that instant, someone appeared opposite him in the corridor to the back. Gratius said," So, you came, Washington! John Washington. I wanted to fight you. Now come at me, Washington!". John Washington, vice-captain of the East division appeared there. Washington said," So you were one of them, captain." Washington disappeared and appeared near Zen and Sweyn. He used his devil's ability and healed them. Captain," let's start," said Washington. Both Washington and Gratius came running. Washington's punch was blocked by Gratius with his legs. He took his next hand and Gratius materialized a sword and slashed Washington. He deflected it and braked the sword with his Hael barrier. They both went far from each other. Traveling throughout the ship and exchanging blows. One was blocking and the other was punching. Gratius manifested more. Washington manifested more. The situation is becoming denser and more serious. Gratius activated his eyes and changed the positions of the air particles with sharp objects. The moment the particles were switched with the sharp objects, Washington used his eyes and reversed everything. Nothing happened. Gratius quoted," only two people have the capability to fight me on equal footing".
