Chapter 35 The Power of Monsters

(The last chapter has been revised. I got confused while writing. Sakaski is indeed in the same class as Kizaru. The second class leader is Dragon, so the video of the graduation speech of the second class in the previous book disappeared.

…

As Zefa's powerful voice fell, a group of marines spontaneously made way for an open space.

“Ah, the first game is me!! It's really exciting!!”

Kuzan smiled and strode to the center of the open space.

Zeff narrowed his eyes and observed Kuzan, with a smile on his lips.

This kid always gives people a lazy feeling, but when he encounters something he is interested in, he will show excitement and enthusiasm.

The two obviously completely different temperaments are perfectly integrated in him.

“Really motivated…”

Zeff murmured in his heart murmured.

It is a common practice to select the top five positions in the training camp 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 fighting each other, and the instructors can also see their strengths and weaknesses more clearly, and teach them in accordance with their aptitude in the future.

At this time, Dauberman, who had a scar on his face, also stepped out of the crowd with a cold face, staring at Kuzan with cold eyes:

"My target was Darren, and I wanted to see with my own eyes how strong the so-called "King of the North Sea" is. After all, I have heard his name too much during this period, and I am even a little tired of it."

"But now it seems that if I want to fight Darren, I can only deal with you first, Kuzan."

In front Before coming to the headquarters for training, Doberman was the highest commander of the East China Sea, serving as the East China Sea Admiral.

As one of the admirals of the four seas, he had heard of Darren's resounding name a long time ago.

To a certain extent, Darren's excellence and excellence as the North Sea Admiral put a lot of pressure on him and made him feel strongly unwilling to accept it.

Although Darren had successfully defeated the great pirate Bondi Waldo and escaped unscathed from the battle with Gol D. Roger, he had proved his strength.

But Doberman did not think that Darren's strength was really that strong.

After all, in the operation to defeat the Ward Pirates, Admiral Sengoku and Major General Borsalino also participated in the battle.

And in the battle with Roger, Vice Admiral Garp and Major General Dragon were also present.

Who knows what the real situation is like?

Only a real fight... even if you lose, you have to lose with conviction!

"I'm so sorry, Darren is my opponent."

Kuzan scratched his head in annoyance, looking embarrassed.

"Then I won't be polite."

Doberman slowly pressed the handle of the saber on his waist, and his body sank slightly.

With his movements, the aura emanating from Doberman suddenly became heavy and solemn.

The wind blew up the yellow sand, and the snow-white cloak flew up.

Doberman stepped forward with his right foot, bent his left knee, and his figure showed a posture of a tight bow, ready to go.

Kuzan narrowed his eyes.

What a beautiful sword-drawing posture... Gion's eyes lit up.

"Do you want to end the battle in one move?"

Darren smiled calmly.

Everyone quieted down and watched this scene with bated breath.

They didn't want to miss any details.

After all, no matter who the result is, the winner of this duel will become their competitor.

No one will miss the opportunity to master the combat power intelligence of their competitors.

The air gradually became oppressive.

Suddenly——

The yellow sand rolled up.

Doberman's figure pounced out like a cheetah, so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

A brilliant knife light suddenly exploded.

In an instant, his momentum changed from strong to sharp... and unstoppable toughness!

The level of this knife was as sharp as a swordsman cutting steel!

Swish!!

An exaggerated cut appeared on Kuzan's shoulder, but no blood spurted out.

Strands of crystal ice crystals fluttered up, reflecting the brilliance of the sun, and quickly disappeared in the strong wind.

Doberman's figure appeared behind Kuzan.

He stared blankly at his saber and palm that had condensed into ice, and it was a little hard to accept for a while.

The other navy officers present also stared at this scene in amazement, their pupils contracted.

"Natural system!?"

"Is that... ice?"

"This is too unsolvable... There is no way to win..."

"No, look at Doberman's hands and sword, they are all frozen!"

"This... could it be..."

They looked at Doberman's hands and sword, their faces gradually became horrified.

The sword-drawing technique itself pursues the ultimate speed and burst, and the whole body's strength is poured into a sword to maximize the damage.

Doberman's sword brought out the characteristics of the sword-drawing technique to the fullest.

With such a sword-drawing speed, even if Kuzan is a natural devil fruit ability user, it is impossible to freeze his hands and sword by the elementalization of the fruit ability itself.

There is only one situation that can do it.

-- Kuzan successfully captured the trajectory of Doberman's sword, and when he cut his body, he actively exerted the elementalization ability.

To do this, you must have excellent dynamic vision, nerve reaction, body speed and good control of the devil fruit ability!

"Monster..."

"It is indeed a monster..."

The navy was amazed.

"So strong..."

Kaji also muttered in a daze.

He roughly simulated in his mind what it would be like if he were Doberman, and soon his face fell.

There was no chance of winning at all!!

Even if Kuzan didn't use the power of the devil fruit, he couldn't be that guy's opponent!

"...What a fast knife."

At this time, Kuzan scratched his head and sighed softly.

The knife marks on his chest were filled with ice crystals, and finally returned to normal.

"Don't be funny..."

Doberman gritted his teeth.

He slowly stood up and turned around, and the ice crystals on his palm and saber shattered and kept falling off.

"It's really worthy of being called a 'monster'. It crushes people from 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 said sullenly after a moment of silence:

"I lost... Thank you for your teaching, Kuzan."

Kuzan gave him a hearty smile and gave him a thumbs up:

"Your sword is also very powerful!"

Doberman was stunned, and then a nameless anger suddenly surged from his chest, thinking that Kuzan was laughing at him.

But when he met Kuzan's sincere and enthusiastic eyes, he was immediately stunned.

This guy... seems to be serious.

Some words, when spoken by some people, sound weird and ask for a beating.

And the same words, when spoken by the passionate young man Kuzan at this time, sound sincere.

Doberman pursed his lips and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It's not shameful to lose to a monster."

"But I will catch up with you."

His eyes quickly became firm.

Kuzan grinned:

"I'm waiting for you!!"

Doberman smiled bitterly again.

This guy, it's really hard to dislike him.

Seeing this scene, Zefa, the instructor, nodded with satisfaction, and then announced loudly:

"First match, winner, Kuzan!"

"The second duel starts now... Gion vs. Mozambia!"

"Step out!"

As for when Kuzan got the devil fruit, I checked and there is no clear statement. For the sake of convenience, I will just write that he already has it, otherwise the battle will be boring and will not affect the plot.

Please everything, thank you.
