Chapter 348 officially entered the ranks of generals
I don’t know how much time passed.
The strong wind above their heads finally subsided, and the ghost spider and flying squirrel finally dared to stick out their heads.
The next moment, the two were horrified to discover that the entire forest on the island had been razed to the ground, with charred trees everywhere.
"Ahem..."
And in the center of this devastated place, Zefa was in ragged clothes, with scars all over his body. He panted violently for a moment, straightened up suddenly, and suddenly punched, one punch after another, annihilating the aftermath of the attack one by one.
Blast away.
"Happy! Happy! Happy!"
Although it was not easy to endure the thunderstorm just now, Zefa was showing off at the moment, laughing wildly and extremely happy. It seemed that he had not fought such a hearty battle for many years.
For the strong men who stand at the top of the world, they rarely have the opportunity to fight against opponents of the same level, and this is especially true for Zefa, who has already retreated to the second line.
It is precisely because of this that he cherishes and enjoys the current discussion.
Whoosh!
Zefa's figure suddenly disappeared and appeared in mid-air, launching a violent storm-like attack towards the suspended Nuo Xia. Nuo Xia immediately raised his sword to meet him, and the surging lightning and dark iron fists collided continuously.
The entire island once again began to tremble violently, as if the earth was turning upside down.
"More than just power!"
While Zefa was fighting with Nuo Xia, he laughed and said, "The speed, physical skills, and domineering control are all much better than they were a few years ago. Even I can no longer take advantage in these aspects.
!”
"You are overly praised. This is mainly due to the foundation you laid at the beginning..."
"This is not the time to flatter me!"
Zefa punched out with all his strength, interrupted Nuo Xia's words, laughed and said: "Come on, if you have any new tricks, come up with them together, I am very strong, I can withstand it!"
"……All right."
Seeing Zefa looking like he was enjoying himself but not completely satisfied, Nuo Xia helplessly shrugged his shoulders. After blocking the fist with his sword, he temporarily stopped the conventional fighting method and instead swept backwards to distance himself.
The originally dark pupils suddenly turned into a bright blue at this moment, and the black hair on his head stood up upside down. First, there was an electric arc jumping between the hairs, and then it quickly spread to the entire body, huge.
The blue current suddenly burst out in all directions!
Buzz!!!
In an instant, most of the island turned into a flash minefield.
The magnificent current quickly dispersed and condensed in different corners. In just two breaths, it transformed into a nine-headed translucent blue dragon. While its body swelled in the wind, it raised its head and roared toward the sky!
Judging from their shape, each head is exactly the same as a blue-eyed white dragon!
"Lei Yin·Nine Dragons are destroyed!"
Nuo Xia held the sword in front of his chest, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he gave a low drink.
If the previous Wind and Thunder Burial Destruction relied on inducing the thunder in the sky and the surrounding violent winds, this move is completely opposite. Its power comes entirely from the abundant energy in his body, and it is a wanton release from the inside out!
roar!
As if they had received some kind of summons, the nine-headed dragons flapped their wings in unison, carrying endless violent currents from all directions and rushing towards Zefa in the center!
"What an incredible posture..."
Zefa looked up at the nine-headed thunder dragon that covered the sky. Even he was a little stunned and shocked for a moment, and murmured to himself subconsciously.
But soon, Zefa reacted, took a deep breath, and without hesitation, used all his strength to blast his most powerful blow into the sky!
Sixteen years!
The last time he was pushed to this point and had to use all his strength to come up with the last trump card in the battle was sixteen years ago before he resigned from his position and took a back seat!
boom!
The nine-headed dragon roared and crushed down. As its bodies turned, the terrifying current burst out from the collision caused the void to tremble violently all the time. The sound was so terrifying that as long as it was affected, everything would be destroyed.
All annihilated.
And when Zefa's strongest punch collided head-on with it...
Click!!!
First, terrifying cracks appeared under Zefa's feet, and then quickly spread into the distance, spreading into countless ravines!
This moment.
The entire island finally reached the limit of what it could bear and completely collapsed. The surrounding sea area also stirred up turbulent waves, and countless thick water columns rose into the sky.
Just reflecting the sky where the thunderclouds were gradually dissipating, there was a gap, extending from right above the island to the end of the endless sky, as if the entire sky had been cut in two.
Boom.
As the hardening of the armor was lifted, Zefa lay exhausted on the ground. Not far away, Nuo Xia also fell from the sky, and his face was also a little paler than before.
Obviously, using two killer moves in succession also consumed a lot of his energy.
"Are you okay, teacher?"
He helped Zefa up, who wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at him with relief, grinned and shook his head.
"It's nothing serious. I managed to withstand it, but you kid, you obviously lost some strength in the end, right?"
"It's a competition..." Nuo Xia smiled faintly, "It can't really be like a life and death fight. It has to be done in moderation."
"In a real life-and-death fight, I wouldn't be so stupid and use my body to resist."
Zefa shook his head, "Forget it, I've had enough, let's call it a day. How long have we been fighting?"
"It'll take about two hours."
Nuo Xia glanced at the sky and said, "If we go back now, we should be able to make it in time for lunch."
"Then let's go. Don't leave at noon. The two hiding over there should come out and go to my house together. I'll cook for you myself!"
Zefa patted Nuo Xia on the shoulder, shouted in the direction of the shore, laughed loudly, jumped into the air, and took the lead in turning back toward the headquarters on moon steps.
Nuo Xia didn't hesitate and followed immediately.
The Ghost Spider and the Flying Squirrel stayed where they were, staring blankly at the two people's retreating figures, looking at each other, slightly absent-minded.
Although they had somewhat expected it due to the changes in the situation on the field, when this scene appeared in front of their eyes, the two of them, especially the flying squirrel, still felt a little unbelievable.
Lieutenant General Noxia actually gained the upper hand in the competition and overcame Mr. Zefa?
————-
at the same time.
Nuo Xia in the sky was also pondering over the gains from the previous battle.
The ghost spider and the flying squirrel are just bystanders, and they are far away from each other. Their own vision is also limited, and they can only take a superficial look.
Only he truly understood that the battle just now was a real one-and-done affair, and there was no so-called winner or loser at all.
However, after this stop, he did have a clearer and deeper understanding of his current strength.
first.
One thing that is certain is that his current level of physical skills and dual-color domineering are still a level weaker than Zefa's.
Using the controlled variable method to describe it, in actual combat, if two people fight purely physically, then he will be firmly suppressed throughout the whole process, and he will be defeated when his physical strength is exhausted.
And if you add the swordsmanship that you are proud of;
Then there is a high probability that they will be equally matched and fight hard for ten days and ten nights. Although the fight will still be very difficult, at least they will not be suppressed too miserably.
Finally, coupled with the ability of the Thunder Fruit, his combat power is already on the same level as Zefa. Considering his strong physical strength and the advantage of the natural fruit, there is a high probability that he will win in the end.
That is to say.
His current combat power has truly broken through the last threshold and reached the so-called "general" level. Even if he travels directly to the battlefield at the top, he is still qualified to sit on the three chairs under the execution platform.
but.
The so-called "General level" combat power also has obvious differences in strength and weakness. Just like Teacher Zefa, when he was young, he was definitely at the forefront of this level like Garp.
But now, after all, he is already over sixty years old. In addition, he has been away from the front line for a long time, his spirit has been worn away, and his strength has declined significantly. He is far from his peak, and he can only be regarded as the last level of this level.
Nuo Xia estimated that he was almost at this level.
There is still a slight gap in overall strength compared to the three chickens, dogs, and monkeys from the top era.
But it is only a small amount, and in the ever-changing battlefield, it is almost negligible.
Nuo Xia raised his head slightly, facing the warm afternoon sun, and looked dimly towards the distant horizon.
If there is a chance to fight Kaido again, he is confident that he will not be suppressed from beginning to end like two years ago. All he can do is to hold him back single-handedly and force the reinforcements to arrive before giving up.
Kaido has to retreat to this extent.
At the very least, it was a true tie. If the fight lasted for ten days and ten nights, and his physical strength was exhausted, there was nothing Kaido could do to him even if he tried his best!
————-
Had lunch at Zefa's house.
Nuo Xia did not return home to rest, but rushed to the port again without stopping.
Originally.
He had just returned from the World Conference hosted by Marshal Deticon in the Holy Land. The headquarters had given him three days of leave. He also planned to spend a few more days at home with his family.
Nai He was in the navy and couldn't help himself. Just as he was cooking noodles with Zefa, a phone call came from Warring States, informing him of a temporary situation.
In the sea area that the G2 branch is responsible for, two countries suddenly had coups at the same time. There were even rumors that the leader of the revolutionary army, Long, had appeared. The situation was quite critical.
Kizaru, who was responsible for escorting the royal families of several countries at the same time, immediately rushed back to the G2 branch base from Marigioa after hearing the news. He left behind a huge mess that the headquarters could not find any spare personnel to deal with.
I had no choice but to call back Nosha, who was already on vacation, to take over the business and wipe Kizaru's butt.
…………
"The royal families of seven countries?"
Along the pier, Nuo Xia listened to the report of the flying squirrel behind him. His eyes twitched and he turned his head, "This is not the number that the old man of the Warring States period mentioned before. Are you kidding me?"
"That's right, Lieutenant General."
Flying Squirrel flipped through the information in his hand and said helplessly, "Mr. Kizaru was originally responsible for only three people, but the royal families of several other neighboring countries, after hearing that you were coming to take over, all rejected the generals originally assigned to them.
, they all crowded over, probably because they feel more at ease with you in charge."
"But the situation is not bad."
Ghost Spider secretly looked at Nuo Xia's face and said cautiously, "Lieutenant General, I just checked the nautical chart. These seven countries are not far from each other. If the route is planned properly, it can be completed in one line. What a delay.
It won’t take more than a few days.”
"That's pretty much it."
Nuo Xia snorted and looked slightly better.
Forget it, let's just think of it as more work for those who can do it. It just happened to save a few batches of manpower for the headquarters and avoid duplication and waste of resources. But next time I have time to go to G2, I must let Huang SIR treat me to a big meal.
————
The Thunder Eagle quickly set sail, taking a large number of ships of all kinds with it, and set off towards the North Sea.
It's really a "big lump".
There are seven countries, and each country's royal family members, plus the envoys, usually have to start with two or three ships. Together, the scale is huge, so you can imagine.
Nuo Xia has never been too interested in this kind of escort mission. Fortunately, the kings of these seven countries are very clear about it. Each one of them personally took the initiative to meet with him politely, and no one dared to put on airs.
This is Mr. Nosha...
Flying Squirrel and Ghost Spider curled their lips when they saw this. They had seen with their own eyes earlier that there were several princes and princesses in the royal families of those countries who came over. They treated the escort generals originally assigned to them like a bossy person...
As a result, as soon as I boarded the Thunder Eagle, I immediately became as quiet as a chicken.
…
Along the way.
No disturbance occurred.
After all, not all pirates are Jack. With Nosha personally in charge, looking at the entire world, except for a few standing at the top of the pyramid, any pirate group that wants to touch this fleet must carefully consider it.
.
certainly.
What is weighed is not whether the robbery can be successful, but how fast the grass will grow on one's grave after death.
On the way, he encountered two sea kings seeking death, but Nuo Xi didn't need to take action. He was leisurely sipping tea on the deck, while the flying squirrel and ghost spider were already marching out on moon steps.
Within half a minute, one by one, the problem was solved.
It is easier to have capable subordinates. After two years of training, the current strength level of Flying Squirrel and Ghost Spider is, in his opinion, infinitely close to that of ordinary lieutenant generals.
Moreover, the division of labor between the two is relatively clear. Flying Squirrel is a resourceful person and can often help him control the overall situation and formulate battle plans.
Although the Ghost Spider has little brains, every time he fights he will charge at the front like a chicken with blood, and he is unparalleled in bravery.
The more they use it, the easier it becomes. When these two are qualified to be promoted to lieutenant general in the future, Nuo Xia is really reluctant to let them go.
