#52 - Chapter 52: Dragon and Kuzan
Dragon and Kuzan stood at opposite ends of the training ground, their bodies radiating astonishing auras, like two mountains facing each other, creating an indescribable sense of oppression.
Sunlight filtered through the layers of trees, casting down upon them, leaving behind two beautiful silhouettes.
A breeze swept past, sand and dust whistling around them, their gazes fixed intently on each other, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Nearby, Ginny and the others sat with melon seeds, well aware of Kuzan's strength.
However, they were only seeing the other person for the second time, and his specific strength could only be known after they exchanged blows.
They were all looking forward to the clash between the two on the field.
"This match is quite interesting; it wouldn't be surprising if either of them won," Kuma said solemnly.
The strength of both in the field should not be underestimated. One grew up by Vice Admiral Garp's side, learning a lot of things they couldn't access through constant exposure.
The other had been following Jin-an, charging into battle, with extremely rich practical experience.
The two had their own merits in terms of identity and strength, and each had their own specialties.
Hearing this, Ginny and the others didn't speak, just focused on cracking melon seeds. This kind of sparring was perfect for eating, allowing them to eat much more than usual.
The entire field was shrouded in a tense and solemn atmosphere, as if the air had solidified.
They stood in the center of the battlefield, their eyes met, as if sparks flew, igniting the air.
The stillness at this moment was the final calm before the battle.
In this stillness, everyone could feel a subtle balance.
And this upcoming battle would completely break this atmosphere.
Standing on the sidelines, Dragon finally couldn't suppress the fighting spirit within him, and with a light lift of his arm, a finger pistol was launched from his fingertip.
Compared to Dragon's preemptive strike, Kuzan was much calmer, taking in the other's every move, simply dodging to the side to avoid this probing attack.
"Sharp observation," Dragon stood in place, an exceptionally powerful aura erupting, like a howling gale, pressing towards Kuzan opposite him.
The intense aura impacted Kuzan, his body trembled, then he raised his head, and an aura no less than the opponent's also erupted.
Then the two rushed into the sky together, turning into two white streamers constantly colliding in the air.
Neither of them used their own devil fruit abilities, only competing in physique and combat skills.
If they used their abilities, under the influence of the natural system's massive attack range, this area would be completely destroyed by them.
Not to mention that both of them were not very old, but their strength had already surpassed their peers by an unknown amount. Facing people of the same age, they could defeat them with one move.
The number of peers who could make them take seriously could be counted on both hands.
"......"
The two instantly engaged in battle, and countless sounds of fists and feet intersecting rang out in the sky.
Various moves emerged endlessly, and the attack frequency was like a storm!
Shanks, who was happily cracking melon seeds, looked at the two's wonderful sparring and weighed his own strength in his heart.
Just by comparing physique, the power emanating from their fight made him break out in a cold sweat.
"These two freaks, how am I, a weakling, supposed to survive!" With these shining examples in front, he felt immense pressure! Shanks shouted in his heart.
As the two fought, the surrounding environment also changed.
Initially, the field was calm, the breeze blew, and the leaves rustled.
However, as Dragon and Kuzan's duel became more intense, the sky was filled with dust, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.
The sparring ground began to crack, rocks were scattered by the aftermath of the two's battle, and the soil rolled, as if it had been bombed by artillery shells.
A storm gradually rose, the trees swayed, and everything on the training ground was destroyed beyond recognition by the two's battle.
Dragon's speed was as fast as lightning, fighting Kuzan up close, every move was a fatal attack, this was his highest respect for his opponent.
Kuzan's expression was calm, meeting him with thunderous speed, his arm shook slightly, directly forcing Dragon back.
"Dragon Claw Fist!"
A low roar came from the sky, and a emerald green claw print suddenly burst out from Dragon's hand, under the offensive of this attack, the air seemed to let out a wail.
"Hey hey hey, this move of yours is a bit of a foul."
Saying so, Kuzan's moves in his hand were no less inferior to Dragon's attack, an ice blue palm print struck out horizontally, facing it head-on.
"......"
The field instantly became their arena, they released their inner passion and strength to their heart's content, enjoying this sparring.
The clothes on their bodies were already tattered, their hair was disheveled, but their eyes were still full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm.
When the two's fists and claws intersected, a powerful energy erupted, enveloping the entire field.
A powerful shockwave swept across, engulfing everything around it.
Finally, the two stopped their movements, their chests rising and falling, panting and looking at each other.
Then, they burst out laughing at the same time.
The two were covered in dust and bruises, but in their hearts, they were filled with respect for each other and the joy of meeting a worthy opponent.
"It's been a long time since I've felt this good, let's continue next time," Dragon tore off the already tattered clothes on his body, his face filled with a smile.
The two of them were happy, but the spectators had a headache.
Kuma and Ginny looked at each other, wondering what Jin-an would think when he came back and saw the outside of his house looking like this...
"......"
"Damn, what happened to my house? Who did it, come out!" A roar suddenly sounded in front of the house.
As Jin-an's voice rang out, the laughter in the backyard field suddenly stopped.
A violent gust of wind blew out from the front door, stirring up the wind and clouds for a time, and the dust covering the house was swept away.
"You two! If you want to fight, can't you go somewhere else? You have to come to my place, will you pay for the broken things?" Jin-an's voice arrived before he did.
Suddenly, a powerful and invisible force descended, and an invisible hand pressed the two heavily on the ground, making them unable to move.
Then, Jin-an slowly walked up to them, his eyes deep, like a deep lake, making people feel endless pressure.
Dragon and Kuzan looked at each other at the surrounding environment and both revealed a wry smile.
They both came to find Jin-an, and after chatting for a while, they cherished each other and couldn't help but exchange blows, but they didn't control their strength well.
Jin-an walked to the backyard and looked at the scene in front of him, his heart was bleeding, the flowers and trees he had painstakingly cultivated were all gone now.
His face was indifferent, as if he had no emotions, he didn't say a word, only the power in his hand that controlled the two was the expression of his current mood.
He raised his hand and gave the two a heavy blow on the head, making their eyes go black and their consciousness fall into chaos.
"Good, you came to my house to cause trouble, isn't the base's large field enough for you to mess around in?"
Listening to Jin-an's scolding, both of them lowered their heads and dared not refute, honestly standing there being sprayed with saliva by Jin-an.
Kuma and the other three spectators witnessed this scene and were extremely shocked.
The two who were still showing their power just now were easily subdued by Jin-an, which made them have endless associations with Jin-an's strength.
They knew that Jin-an's power far exceeded their imagination.
He will also be their idol forever.
