Annan and Esdeath trained during the day, and reviewed the training with Zefa at night.
It’s finally the end of training.
Still in the middle of the island.
Annan and Esdeath stood in the same place.
The wind howled, blowing their hair.
A palm-sized ice flower spun in Esdeath's palm, and he waved it aside, raised his hands, and made a cracking sound with his fists.
The breeze blew, and both parties seemed to be ready.
Esdeath smiled at Annan and said, "Start?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Esdeath kicked her foot, and an ice sword instantly appeared in her hand. Dark domineering energy wrapped around it, and she charged forward quickly.
Annan smiled and raised Muramasa and struck him directly with his sword.
Dang!!!
The blade of the sword met with each other, making a crisp sound of fighting.
Annan was shaken back by this force, but he took advantage of the situation and pulled away.
"Heaven clashes!"
The blade glowed, and a slash appeared in front of Esdeath. The approach of the slash made Esdeath stop further pursuit. The ice sword struck twice, and a three-meter-high ice shield completely covered Esdeath.
Stacey's figure.
"Southern Cross Star Shield!"
The shield immediately exploded after offsetting the slash, turning into countless fragments and sputtering in the direction of Annan. The objects hit by the fragments all turned into ice sculptures.
After Annan raised the knife to cut a few pieces, he pushed forward with his left hand, and a ball of orange flames continued to advance in a vortex, swallowing and melting the flying pieces.
Taking advantage of the flames that interfered with his vision, Annan put the blade into its sheath and pulled it out with his backhand.
"Cut!"
The flying slash was accompanied by domineering force, and it suddenly rushed towards Esdeath.
A hundred meters of icicles suddenly rose from under Esdeath's feet. He dodged the slashing attack and allowed the slashing attack to cut off the icicles.
With a snap of his fingers, a huge ice ball appeared in the air, and then he stepped on the ice ball. The speed of the falling ice ball doubled, and it hit Annan almost instantly.
"Hail kick!"
Annan remained motionless, holding Muramasa with both hands, and stabbed him with the knife.
Click... Bang!
The ice ball directly broke into several pieces, and Esdeath's figure appeared immediately. Rumo's domineering force wrapped around Esdeath's legs and feet, and he kicked Annan without hesitation.
Annan stabbed again, and Muramasa suddenly blocked Esdeath's feet.
Bang!!
Annan's feet sank, and cracks appeared on the ground.
Esdeath's other slender leg suddenly lifted up and kicked Muramasa up. Taking advantage of the gap, her body quickly went down, landed on one foot, and swept across with a whip kick.
Those legs and feet are covered with flowing domineering energy.
"Blackfoot Whip." Esdeath said lightly.
Annan's pupils shrank, and he leaned back with all his strength, his back touching the ground.
Boom!!
Based on the range swept by her legs and feet, the air fluctuated, forming a fan-shaped shock wave that exploded all the trees and rocks in front of her. The power did not decrease at all, and it gradually disappeared until it hit the mountains near the sea.
Esdeath retracted her feet and stood there, looking at Annan who stood up.
"Physical skills, swordsmanship, fruit abilities, I don't agree that you only specialize in one, but human energy is always limited." Zefa's words rang in the minds of the two of them at the same time.
"I can't compete with you in swordsmanship/physical skills." The two said in unison.
Several flames rotated in a circular motion behind Annan.
Frost spreads from Esdeath's feet to all sides.
The island suddenly stirred up a current of alternating hot and cold air.
"Blazing dove!"
Annan released flames with both hands, and the orange flames turned into turtle doves and flew towards Esdeath.
Wherever the turtle dove's wings passed, everything was ablaze with fire.
Esdeath took a step back, formed a transparent ice rose in her hand, and threw it out.
"Ice Princess Rose"
The rose fell to the ground, and the ground instantly froze into a layer of ice. Several ice vines grew out of the ice, entangling the turtle dove tightly.
Chi——
The flames melted the ice, and the cold air froze the flames. After a burst of white air, the turtle doves and vines all disappeared.
"Blazing Red Lotus!"
Annan jumped into the air, and the fireball behind him turned into a red lotus and flew towards the area where Esdeath was. The flying red lotus decomposed into petals and fell to the ground, suddenly bursting into flames.
Annan fell to the ground and looked up at Esdeath who was still in mid-air.
"It seems that you have developed a new fruit ability to control ice flying?"
Esdeath crossed her arms and looked down at Annan, with a hint of pride on her lips.
What supports her in the air is a floating ice cube.
The ten fingers touched each other, and dense icicles appeared in the sky.
"White Ice Breaking Blow!"
Ice cones all over the sky hit Annan like a storm.
Annan pulled out Muramasa, and the flames gathered to form a flaming sword.
"Skyfire."
Annan clenched his hands and waved vigorously toward the sky.
Red flames streaked across the sky, burning the ice cones.
The fierce collision of ice and fire turned the clear sky into dark clouds.
Warships outside the island.
Zefa and others stood on the deck.
"Can superhuman fruits also change the surrounding environment?" Binz stood next to Zefa and asked in surprise.
"No." Zefa said, "The fruit abilities of the two of them have not yet been developed to this extent."
Ain added: "The climate of the Grand Line is changeable, and cold and heat are the most likely to affect weather changes. Although it is also related to their fruit ability, it is far less than the natural system."
"However, it has only been less than two months since the two of them obtained the Devil Fruit, and they have been able to develop the fruit's abilities to this extent. The Navy will have two powerful newcomers."
"Not as good as the natural system?" Zefa smiled, "I wonder if they listened to my words."
"Boom!"
A white crescent-shaped slash came across the sky and headed straight towards the warship.
Zefa's body suddenly appeared on the bow of the ship, with a weapon attached to the mechanical arm, and he struck hard with a heavy punch.
The white slash and the black domineering force competed with each other, and the air seemed to be distorted. Zefa's mechanical arm pushed the slash forward, and the ship's hull kept shaking under the pressure. A huge shock wave swayed to the deck, destroying the navy.
It's blowing all over the place.
Ain and Binz were knocked backwards by the impact. After the impact, they only felt pain all over their bodies, as if they had been stabbed by a knife.
"This kind of slash..."
Zefa's whole body was shaken, and the domineering force on the robotic arm became even more intense.
Pushing upward violently, the slash was pushed into the sky.
"You little brat Annan, are you still hiding your clumsiness during the special training?"
Zefa scattered the armor on his robotic arm, and a vulgar face appeared in his head.
"Asshole, apart from looks, they are really similar in other aspects."
The island at this time.
"Is this the gaseous slash you mentioned before?"
Esdeath put away the Southern Cross Star Shield, and the expression on her face changed from surprise to confusion to excitement.
"Are you finally getting serious, Annan?"
Annan sheathed Muramasa.
"If you're on top, something will happen, so don't worry about it."
