The Marine Headquarters Square is very noisy and lively!
The remaining 28 platforms are full of fighting sounds. Fist against fist, blade against blood, the Recruits seized this annual opportunity and showed themselves in front of all Marine seniors! A beautiful victory today may determine their future!
So even if they know that the first stage will be fought by wheels, which will be detrimental to the final result, some of them will still have the idea of showing their all. At the beginning of the battle, dozens of people fell off the platform and were sentenced to defeat.
But immediately, a new Challenger will rush in to challenge the winner.
However, unlike other high platforms, Shuzo has just arrived on platform 29 where Rowen is. The Instructor and referee in charge of this place decisively wiped the soles of their feet and scattered and did not even do their own work.
Creak, creak…
Shuzo knuckles smashed against each other, and he sneered while wearing a black strapless t-shirt.
“Oh, isn’t this Rowen? Why is your face looking so ugly? Do you feel desperate?”
Hearing these words, Rowen raised an eyebrow.
“Why do you think that?!!!”
“Because the expression you have on your face looks like you don’t know whether to laugh or cry!”
“Zephyr is targeting me 100% in this place, right?”
“You and he also came with the idea of killing me, right?!”
“Don’t think of me as a fool!”
“You guys are really unfair.”
“You guys are just planning to earn back your pride after beating me”
Below the high platform, Zephyr heard these words through his Observation Haki and his eyelids throbbed: “Kill that asshole, Shuzo!”
“Understood!”
Shuzo shrugged and he replied loudly and said: “Don’t say anything about fairness. These venues are easy to make. This has always been the case for year-end reviews. And what are you talking about me killing you… I’m your Instructor, how can I kill you? Damn you, at most…”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Shuzo burst out with his strongest speed. Under Rowen’s horrified gaze, Shuzo’s figure turned into a black line as he rushed in front of him.
“At most…I will hit you until you couldn’t even move a finger!”
Bang… Bang Long!
A gas-like cloud seems to explode, leaving a circle of smoke and dust as an invisible air column shot out, penetrating the clouds, and disappearing into the blue sky!
Shuzo, who is serious right now is completely different from the time he took Rowen’s test, he had restrained himself during the test and was also disturbed by steel channels! One move, Shuzo just attacked with one move that has years of hard training and it was extremely powerful!
The failure twenty years ago gave him an unforgettable lesson. Today, he is going to knock Rowen down even if it is the last thing he does!
“What?”
After attacking violently, Shuzo smiled while thinking that this was a good start for beating Rowen down. But suddenly, he gave out a startled expression and looked at his wrist passing through Rowen’s chest.
He was sure that he covered his arm with Armament Haki, and Rowen couldn’t have been able to avoid it with his Elementalization. But such a weird scene made him understand that the opponent had calculated his attack time and carried out Elementalization in advance!
Logia Elementalization is divided into active and passive activation. Armament Haki can’t make Elementalization invalid, it just touches the person to cancel the passive effects of Elementalization.
But the Armament Haki would be useless after the opponent took the initiative to disperse his body by Elementalization. After all, if it is still effective at this time, wouldn’t it be equivalent to directly inserting your hand into the opponent’s internal organs?
Logia users would be too weak if that was to be true and they wouldn’t be called the Strongest force!
Seeing this situation, the corner of Shuzo’s mouth twitched, and he had to pull back his fist, avoiding the thunder coming from Rowen’s palm.
Bang!!
Zī Zī Zī Zī Zi!
An electric wire coiled up between the two of them and disappeared after a few seconds.
Shuzo gritted his teeth unhappily as Rowen’s figure wandered backward and he pulled a safe distance to re-combine.
“Chee, this little slippery bastard!”
In response, Rowen curled his lips with a weird smile on his face and he clasped his fists in his hands, and slanted his eyes, and said: “Your sneak attack skills are also very good!”
Shuzo’s sneak attack was swift and violent. If it wasn’t for his Active Elementalization which dispersed his body in advance, that punch would have knocked him down!
In order to win, Shuzo is completely shameless!
Logia’s horror is evident from this. Even Rowen can avoid the powerful attacks of Shuzo and other Marine factions can also see this.
But even though active Elementalization disperses the body, it will consume a lot of stamina!
Rowen can’t predict where Shuzo’s attack will come from, so he must elementalize all of his body, all the time.
In this way, Shuzo may be willing to give up directly if he can hold on for an hour!
“Huh! What’s with that smirk on your face! Let’s see how long you can hold on!”
With a cold snort, Shuzo came close to Rowen again. Such an elite broke out with all of his speed, plus with his battle instincts and the use of Soru in Marine Rokushiki, his speed is not weaker than Rowen moving with thunder and lightning!
So Rowen could only see one afterimage if Shuzo, and in the blink of an eye, Shuzo’s fist fell on him again.
“So fast!”
But……
“This is just to my liking!”
Boom…Boom!!!
With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Rowen let the explosive fist break him up into thunder and lightning snakes, and then he tried to capture the electromagnetic field of the air. In the next second, his figure flashed!
Blink!
The Blink ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is actually very simple. The planet itself has a sufficiently strong magnetic field. As long as the electromagnetic field is used, the current (body) can be moved because the body is made of thunder and lightning, it is not human at all, except that it needs to eat and drink like normal creatures.
This incredible way of movement that sounds mysterious in this universe is just a piece of data that travels through the network through the data line on the Earth.
It is an instinctive instinct!
The only difficulty is how to capture and transfer the magnetic field trajectory.
Rowen has not Awakened his Observation Haki, and he can only rely on Thunder-Lighting Human’s physic’s keen perception of magnetic fields. But the strongest Thunder he could produce is only 30 Million Volt.
Compared with Enel in the future, the gap between them is quite large. Wanting to confront the planet’s magnetic field is tantamount to having idiotic dreams, and it does not allow him to travel freely between magnetic fields.
So he thought of a trick…
Elementalization!
His Elementalization can not only be used to avoid Shuzo’s coverage of Haki’s attack, but it can also be used to capture the electromagnetic field by continuously consuming a large amount of stamina, and outline the nodes with every trace of lightning in the body to facilitate his ability named Blink.
The distance he could cross using the Blink is not far, and the area that can be affected after Elementalization includes the area of the high platform at most. Unless he Awakens his Observation Haki to capture the farther magnetic field, he would only be able to do this for the time being.
So at this moment, Shuzo looked at the empty area in front of him with a shocked look on his face as he couldn’t believe it.
At that moment, this guy did not move away from him, but disappeared out of thin air!!
Any movement of objects will leave traces, which will be captured by Observation Haki!
That is true no matter how fast something is!
This is the absolute truth!
There is only one problem, even if a trace is found, whether it can be reacted or not is a problem… For example, with Kizaru’s Glint-Glint Fruit, even if someone discovers his trace, few people can make a proper counterattack against him.
But just now…
Shuzo did not find any movement tracks!
Rowen disappeared in front of him like a ghost, then appeared behind him.
There was no trace of this process!!
“Could it be… the one in front of him just now was an illusion?”
No, that’s impossible!
This idea was rejected as soon as it appeared… His Observation Haki could not be deceived. Under the premise that Rowen had no physical doppelgänger ability, he can basically determine that the one in front of him was Rowen!
It was just through some means that Shuzo didn’t know that Rowen was able to offset or hide his traces.
“You hid a lot of things, Rowen…”
