Logan walked up the ring with his long sword, which was even longer than his own. He was looking for Drake.
"Boom!"
Drake descended from the sky, and the lower limbs of the huge dinosaur crushed the floor of the arena. He jumped directly from the stage.
"Kid, hurry up and admit defeat. I still have to fight Smoggy. Don't delay my time!”Drake looked at Logan and said contemptuously.
Logan was not affected at all. He slowly pulled out his katana and bowed very seriously."Swordsman Logan, please guide me!”
The difference in aura between Logan with his sword drawn and Logan without was like the difference between heaven and earth. If Logan didn't draw his sword, he would only be a tiger cub, but Logan with his sword drawn was like a fierce tiger with fangs.
"Swoosh!"
Logan held the blade with both hands and didn't make any unnecessary movements. He took a step forward with his left leg and swung the blade down with both hands.
Drake wanted to take advantage of the thick skin and strong defense after the transformation of the Devil Fruit to block the attack with his right arm.
But at the last moment, his dinosaur instinct made him dodge to the side.
"Crack…"
Logan's katana extended five meters outward, cutting open the ground and creating a straight crack deep into the ground.
"Ah! Sword Qi!"
"There's actually sword qi!"
"He can already use sword qi. He's too strong!”
It wasn't that these people from the naval academy were making a fuss, but Logan's sword aura was too shocking. Ze Long only found out after coming to One Piece's world that swordsmen could only use sword aura after going through painstaking training and talent.
[Apprentice Swordsman: Beginner proficient in sword moves]
[Beginner Swordsman: Ordinary Pirate Navy Soldier]
[Intermediate Swordsman: A trained marine soldier]
[High-level Swordsman: Swordsman around the level of a million-level pirate]
[Top-tier Swordsman: Solon, a million-level pirate who had just set sail]
[Ordinary Sword Hero: The arm strength is so great that it can materialize the sword qi and release the sword qi.]
Logan was able to use the sword aura that only a Sword Hero could use. It was indeed shocking. When the news got out tomorrow, it would probably shock the navy headquarters again.
Although Logan's sword aura could only extend for a mere five meters, it was equivalent to him touching the threshold of the Sword Grandmaster realm. Many people had spent their entire lives cultivating but were still stuck at the peak of the Swordsman realm.
"Hu! Whoosh! Phew!" Logan, who had used the sword aura, was so tired that he was panting. He was too young, and his physical strength couldn't support him to use this move. However, he knew that there was a huge gap between him and Drake. He could only bet on Drake's arrogance and not knowing how to dodge. If he took this move head-on, he would win. He didn't expect Drake to dodge at the last moment.
Drake's expression was also very shocked, and he was terrified. If it wasn't for the animal instinct of the Dinosaur Fruit, he would have been defeated by this knife.
Drake became more careful and kept a distance of five meters from Logan. As a result, Logan fell to the ground after using his sword aura again, losing his physical strength and mobility.
"The match is over. X Drake wins!”The examiner announced Drake's victory, but none of the naval cadets below the stage applauded or cheered. Even the arrogant Drake did not show a victorious smile. Instead, his expression was solemn.
Logan is not bad." Ze Long was also stunned by the performance of this little bootlicker beside Tina, and he gave a rare compliment.
" Yes, Logan is very persistent. Ever since he received his father's first ultra-long navy saber when he was three years old, he has been swinging his saber at least ten thousand times a day without stopping. He said that only when he swung his saber did he feel that his father was beside him!”Tina explained.
When Logan was carried off the stage by two navy soldiers, Logan and David Kel both lost their ability to fight, and Tina forfeited the fight for first place. The first place would then be decided between Smoggy and Drake.
"Smog versus Drake, the match begins!”
"Sou!"
Drake had an absolute advantage in speed and strength. He instantly appeared in front of Smog, and before Smog could react, his dragon claw ruthlessly tore at Smog's body.
However, it did not work at all. It only tore apart a cloud of smoke. Smoggy even took the opportunity to counterattack with his White Smoke Fist.
Drake easily dodged it with a jump, but Smoggy's smoke arm could extend at will, following and changing directions, chasing after Drake and attacking the entire arena.
Drake was being chased everywhere, but the occasional counterattack was useless against Smoggy, and he was in a predicament.
It was the first time the soldiers below the stage had seen the amazing performance of the Devil's Fruit in actual combat. They showed extreme admiration for Smoggy. This was a true expert who was invincible in actual combat.
"Hmph, how are you going to fight if you use your elemental essence conversion like this?”Drake, who was getting impatient from being chased, said angrily.
"Humph!" Smoggy ignored him, but his white fist became faster and faster.
Drake also knew that there was no point in continuing to fight like this. It was just that his heart was filled with strong unwillingness, which supported him to persevere. However, after a few minutes, Drake took the initiative to jump off the ring and admit defeat. This was because he felt that there was no point in continuing to fight. He could not hurt Smogg.
At this point, the examiners announced that the top three were Smoggy, Drake, and Tina. Logan and David Kaye were tied for fourth place due to their injuries and exhaustion.
It was now time for Ze Long to choose his opponent. Most of the naval cadets believed that since Ze Long had two chances to challenge, he would first challenge the weakest Tina and secure third place before challenging the top two. After all, if he were to directly challenge the top two, he would become a laughingstock if he got injured in battle.
"I want to challenge the first place, Smogue!”Ze Long said calmly and confidently.
"Humph!" Smogue snorted coldly.
" What do you mean he wants to challenge Smoggy?!"
"That guy can turn into smoke!”
"Sigh, what a pity. I'm going to be beaten up!”
Almost no one was optimistic about Ze Long challenging Smog. This was because in these lower level naval academies, nature elemental espers were invincible existences.
"Ze Long challenges Smog, begin!”
