Looking at the disciple he was most proud of, Zefa had mixed feelings in his heart.
In addition to lamenting the passage of time, there is also a hint of complicated emotions.
Nuo Xia's murderous nature is too serious. Back then, let alone the one who upheld the belief of "not killing" before relegating to the second line, even in the first few years when he was an instructor, he would definitely advise this person with sincerity.
disciple.
But in the past two years, after seeing Nuo Xia's fierce reputation, which was extremely effective in deterring pirates, and maintaining justice and order as much as possible.
He found that his own ideas had begun to be completely overturned, and his stance towards pirates had unknowingly become extremely close to that of Nuo Xia.
——There may be no need for the Impel City thing to exist.
"You've been in Mariegio for half a month and you're almost bored to death, aren't you?"
Zefa put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Nuo Xia with a smile, "Would you like to have some fun to relieve your boredom?"
"Looking for fun?"
Nuo Xia was a little puzzled at first, but looking at Zefa's meaningful expression, his expression changed and he realized, "No, Teacher Zefa, this is the day when new recruits enter the camp. Logically speaking, you shouldn't go..."
"Cut the nonsense."
Zefa snorted, "The last time I sparred with others was several years ago, and my hands have been itching for a long time. You are a busy man and don't see people on weekdays. This is a rare opportunity, how could you miss it?"
"……All right."
Zefa mentioned this, and Nuo Xia had no choice but to nod with a grimace and agreed.
…
Half an hour later.
On an uninhabited desert island not far from Marineland, Nosha and Zefa fell from the sky and stood at opposite ends of the clearing in the forest.
When their strength reaches the level of the two of them, even if they just compete on a daily basis, the destructive power they can cause is at the level of destruction, so naturally they are not suitable for fighting in an elite camp.
Even if no one else was harmed, the old man from the Warring States period would still feel distressed and scold his mother if he accidentally overturned a few buildings.
There are several such small islands and reefs next to Marineland. The area is too small and has little development value. It is just right to use it as a venue for competition. You don't have to worry too much and have fun.
Ghost Spider and Flying Squirrel also followed.
However, even the two of them did not dare to get too close. They stopped at a small slope on the edge of the coastline, several kilometers apart.
"I never expected that Teacher Zefa would actually offer to discuss matters with the Lieutenant General."
Ghost Spider looked at the two figures in the distance and sighed, "Who do you think will win in the end?"
"this……"
The flying squirrel smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "You are simply making things difficult for me. It's too difficult to choose..."
He pinched his chin and spoke carefully, "If it were a life and death fight, I think the final winner should be Lieutenant General Nuo Xia. After all, the Lieutenant General's physical strength is at the level of an inhuman monster. Even if it is grinding, he can forcefully
Wear Teacher Zefa down."
"But this is just a discussion." Ghost Spider looked at him sideways, "So you are more optimistic about Zefa pooping?"
"almost."
The flying squirrel hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Of course, in the past few years, he had followed Nuo Xia, and he had been completely impressed by the latter's extraordinary strength.
But the person facing him is Zefa after all. Not only is he the mentor who trained him, he is also the youngest general in the history of the navy, the legendary "Black Wrist" who once sailed the sea...
If he didn't rely on physical strength, Mr. Nosha would still be half a grade behind, right?
"I don't think so."
Ghost Spider curled his lips and was about to refute something when his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Let's not talk anymore. Look, the fight is about to begin!"
…………
In a forest clearing.
"Are you almost done warming up?"
Zefa looked at Nuo Xia opposite, grinned, and punched his chest with both fists:
"Come over now. I was not there to catch up with you during your several battles to become famous. Now it's time for me to see with my own eyes how far you have grown!"
"I won't let you down, teacher."
Nuo Xia smiled, her eyes gradually became serious, and she said solemnly: "I'm about to take action, be careful, teacher."
In fact, in his heart, he was quite looking forward to this kind of competition.
After all, in the past two years, although he has done a lot of field missions, to be honest, among the pirates he has annihilated, there is not a single one who can fight.
Whether they are supernovas who have just stepped into the Grand Line and are in the limelight, or veterans who have made a name for themselves in the new world, there are only a few who can survive even five minutes in his hands, which is really boring.
As for that guy Aokiji, he was transferred to the G5 branch of the New World a few days ago and served as the base commander.
It was indeed a beautiful thing to be reunited with Jasmine, but Nuo Xia lost a partner who was usually beaten as a punching bag. He could only feel deeply regretful about this and scolded Kuzan in his heart for forgetting his friends when he saw sex.
After doing some calculations, Nuo Xia suddenly realized that it seemed like...it had been a long time since he had fought a decent battle.
This battle with Zefa can be used to verify how much his current strength has improved after these two years of training, and whether there is still a level gap between him and the real general-level combat power.
Whoosh!
With a sharp flash in his eyes, Nuo Xia's body disappeared without a trace.
And in the next moment, he appeared strangely above Zefa's head, carrying layers of strong wind, and punched Zefa's face.
This was not the result of the thunder fruit using a magnetic field to teleport, but a pure physical technique that brought "shaving" to its extreme. Even the flying squirrel and the ghost spider, who had been staring at the distance from afar, did not see Nuo clearly at all.
Xia's movement trajectory.
“Just in time!”
Looking up at the enlarging shadow of the fist in his eyes, Zefa laughed and punched out his right fist without hesitation.
boom!!!
The deafening sound of the collision resounded throughout the desert island, and ripples spread out in all directions from the center of the collision!
A large circle of nearby trees, under this terrifying shock wave, were all broken at the waist and fell backwards, startling countless birds in the forest.
Wow!
After the fists of the two people were locked in a stalemate for a few seconds, they were knocked back at the same time. After each plowed a deep ravine more than ten meters long on the ground, they stabilized their bodies and stopped.
Evenly matched!
Ghost Spider and Flying Squirrel looked at each other with shock on their faces.
Lieutenant General Nuo Xia, using only physical strength, punched Teacher Zefa head-on with all his strength, but there was no difference at all!
“It feels pretty good.”
Nuo Xia stopped and grinned.
I still remember that when I was in the elite camp, Zefa got drunk and punched him, turning him into a meteor and flying out of the sky. It took him half an hour to run back out of breath.
And now...
"The power is amazing, boy."
Zefa laughed nonchalantly, "But this is just the beginning, the main event is coming soon, pick it up, kid!"
Boom!
The moment the words fell, Zefa suddenly clenched his fists. At this moment, both of his arms were covered in armed colors, and the whole body was covered with a dark color under the sunlight, which was daunting.
"As expected of Teacher Zefa..."
Nuo Xia looked at the two arms, and his eyes became a little solemn.
There is no doubt about it.
In terms of mastery of hegemony alone, Zefa is definitely at the pinnacle of the world. Only he and Garp are the only ones who are at the top of the world by relying solely on physical skills.
At this moment, Zefa showed that whether it was the quality of domineering power or the degree of hardened control, it exceeded all the enemies Nuoxia had ever seen. Even Kaido was half inferior in this regard!
"So……"
His arms are Zefa's weapons, and correspondingly, as the undisputed greatest swordsman in the navy, he has to draw his own weapons!
but.
His hands seemed empty, as if he didn't have a sword at all, and the place he was touching at this moment was not the side of his waist, but the shoulder blades on both sides of his back.
In fact.
After becoming a high-ranking member of the Navy, he always wears formal suits, a heavy white cloak behind his back, and two swords hanging on his waist, which is inevitably a bit inconvenient and looks unsightly.
Therefore, in the past two years, Nuo Xia has developed the habit of sealing the two swords directly in his body and nourishing them with thunder and lightning all year round.
When you need to use it, pull out the twin swords shining with lightning from your chest or back.
While the fashion value is high, it can sometimes have unexpected effects.
Buzz!
The twin swords of Yongen, with blue arcs of electricity dancing around them, were held in Nuo Xia's hands in the next moment, and disappeared with the flicker of his body, striking towards Zefa!
Wherever he passed along the way, the air was trembling, but Zefa refused to retreat or avoid it, and directly moved his arms like cast steel to face him head-on!
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The dull sound of metal collision is continuous and almost never stops!
As sparks flew, the two had already fought for hundreds of rounds. The surrounding ground was completely cracked and broken, with cracks like spider webs extending in all directions.
"So happy! So happy! I haven't felt so happy for a long time!"
Zefa fought so happily that he couldn't help but laugh loudly, "But Nuo Xia! There is no need to use more ordinary sword moves that scratch the itch. Let me use some decent trump cards to show its power!"
"As you wish."
Nuo Xia smiled slightly, "Then, you have to be extra careful with the next sword strike."
He took a deep breath and suddenly raised his swords, pointing the sword tips towards the sky.
Boom!
In an instant, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the originally clear and cloudless sky, thunder roared continuously, and sometimes dazzling lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire sky.
"It's so easy, you can control the celestial phenomena in an instant."
On the coastal hills in the distance, the flying squirrel looked at the thundering sky and sighed, "He is indeed Lieutenant General Nuo Xia..."
The ghost spider on the side was about to say something, but suddenly, a wisp of cold wind blew across his cheek.
This was originally a trivial matter, but it was very common for a cold wind to blow along the coast just as summer was gone and autumn was approaching.
However, this cold wind blowing quietly seems to be just the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, countless cold winds blew past the side, becoming faster and louder, and finally converged into countless whistling air currents, sweeping and rushing upwards.
For a while.
It was as if all the air around them had been sucked out. The Ghost Spider and Flying Squirrel's faces turned red and showed signs of hypoxia, and they found it difficult to even breathe.
This moment.
The entire uninhabited island, as well as the surrounding sea area with a radius of several kilometers, was roaring with strong winds and blurred vision. Coupled with the lightning and thunder in the sky, it actually created a scene that only occurs when an apocalyptic storm comes.
Nuo Xia had already risen into the air and was suspended in mid-air, her eyes calm.
In the past two years, his swordsmanship has already broken through the bottleneck and entered the ranks of masters. After practicing day after day, he has successfully integrated the ability of the thunder fruit with the wind control swordsmanship.
It is no longer just superficial as it was two years ago, but at the kendo level, I have gained a lot of insights that are close to the "esoteric", and I have found a feasible way to move forward.
in other words.
Today, although he has learned the basics and was born out of the wind-controlling swordsmanship, he has broken free from the shackles of his predecessors and carved out his own way of swordsmanship!
Nuo Xia named it, Double Sword Style, Wind and Thunder Sword Way!
And the sword he is about to strike now is one of his strongest trump cards among all his swordsmanship moves!
"Wind and Thunder·Doomsday Burial!"
Accompanied by the sharp shout, Nuo Xia's two swords intertwined and slashed down at the same time. The thunder in the sky and the violent wind between heaven and earth were all responded to at this moment, being pulled towards Zefa below as the center of the vortex.
, shrouded down!
boom!
The storm finally officially arrived, and the sound of wind and thunder collided, making the noise caused when Nuo Xia raised the tip of his sword and gathered momentum seemed so insignificant at this moment.
Countless pieces of land were shattered, the sunlight was chaotic, and at the edge of the aftermath of the airwaves, white lines spread crazily outward like giant pythons. Even the coastal slopes several kilometers away were instantly submerged by the roaring waves.
The two people, Ghost Spider and Flying Squirrel, who were watching the battle from a distance, were instantly swallowed up by regret.
The sky was so dangerous that the two of them did not dare to take the moonwalk to the sky. They could only lie down on the ground and cling to the clods of earth to barely stabilize themselves.
In this environment, just standing on the ground to prevent yourself from being swept up into the sky by the strong wind is already a huge challenge.
——Something in my brain was wrong. Why did I come with you? The two of them wanted to cry for a while.
