One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

As the saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain," and there must be a winner. This small branch can only accommodate the voice of one person.

"Let's go to the coast; no one will bother us there."

Well, let's save this guy some face.

Chapter 106 What does it mean to be a disgrace to the Natural System?

The beach on the western side of the island.

Smoker, with two cigars dangling from his lips and his signature grumpy face, looked at Loya with obvious displeasure.

"Don't look so fierce, or you won't make any friends."

Loya was helpless. This guy always looked like someone owed him money and was trying to collect a debt, making him unapproachable.

He cut the raindrops into pieces and tossed them to the bespectacled girl in the distance.

"Keep this safe for me."

"Ok."

Lu Yun held Yuqie in his arms, the scabbard plunging directly into his chest.

She came along to record their performance during the battle. Since she was serving as Senior Loya's deputy, she had to do her job well first.

Smoker's face darkened considerably.

"Are you underestimating me?!"

"No, I just think it would be more convenient to use my fists and feet to fight you."

Loya explained.

Smoker is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and given the relatively large size of his Smoke-Smoke Fruit, the faster he can grab onto his opponent's physical form, the better.

Swords and knives are more powerful, but they are certainly not as flexible and versatile as bare hands, especially since it's just a friendly spar.

"Humph!"

Smoker snorted and untied the jib from his back, throwing it onto the beach, clearly not wanting to take advantage of Loya.

Loya smiled.

Smoker's reaction was exactly as he had expected; the other party's bad temper was second to none in the entire Navy, so why would he take advantage of him?

That's good, since neither he nor Smoker relies on weapons.

Loya put one hand in his pocket and beckoned to Smoker with the other.

"bring it on!"

"."

Smoker was furious. This guy had become too arrogant since returning from training camp, completely disregarding him.

A large amount of smoke billowed out from beneath my feet!

Smoker launched himself forward, his lower body turning into smoke, propelling him rapidly forward and arriving in front of Loya in an instant.

"Unprepared?"

Seeing Loya motionless, Smoker could no longer contain his anger and clenched his right fist, aiming it at Loya's face with all his might.

"White Fist!"

"Iron piece of steel!"

"Oh!"

The fist slammed into Loya's face with a dull thud, like striking a hard rock.

But Loya did not retreat an inch!

Smoker's pupils contracted.

"Snapped!"

My wrist was grabbed!

Loya grabbed Smoker's wrist, gradually increasing the pressure with his fingers. The force, enough to deform steel, made it difficult for Smoker to break free.

"Hey, Smoker, is that all the power you have?"

"what?!"

Before Smoker could react, Loya's fist appeared before him and was deeply embedded in his face!

"Oh!"

Smoker was in excruciating pain in his face. The impact sent him flying uncontrollably, crashing heavily onto the beach.

"boom!"

Smoke and dust billowed up!

Smoker covered his bleeding mouth and nose and scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state.

Loya approached step by step into view.

Indifferent words reached my ears.

"Smoker, you graduated from the main recruit training camp several years ago, haven't you? In all that time, have you really gotten stronger?"

"."

Smoker's eyes turned bloodshot. He clenched his fists again and roared as he charged toward Loya, his arm turning into smoke.

"Stop looking down on people!"

"Then show me your strength!"

Loya clenched his fist and charged forward!

"Oh!"

The two fists collided with all their might, and a shockwave swept out!

Loya sensed Smoker's power and confirmed his judgment.

Based on Peacock's combat strength, this mad dog from headquarters hasn't gotten much stronger since he graduated.

He didn't know the specific reason. Perhaps the backstabbing in the workplace had bound Smoker, or perhaps it was because he hadn't met Luffy and hadn't been inspired to fight.

But one thing is certain.

Smoker's growth has indeed stagnated!

Even when Smoker met Luffy three years later, he was incredibly weak and repeatedly became a stepping stone.

As an elite trained by headquarters, and a noble Logia-type Devil Fruit user, this man shouldn't be so weak!

"Let me wake you up."

Loya's gaze sharpened, and the muscles in his fist worked faster, increasing his strength and forcefully pressing down Smoker's fist!

"Oops!"

Smoker was startled, his fist was forced to move downwards, and his body leaned forward, almost falling to the ground.

"Danger!"

Feeling the fierce attack coming from directly above, at the critical moment, Smoker transformed his entire body into smoke.

Almost simultaneously, a powerful kick descended from the sky, piercing through the smoke and embedding itself heavily in the sand.

"boom!"

Like an explosion, a large amount of sand shot into the sky!

Smoker, panting, created some distance. Had he been even a step slower, the consequences would have been unimaginable; his opponent's domineering aura surpassed his own.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, everything went blurry before my eyes!

It's a shave!

Seeing Loya suddenly appear in front of him, and Loya's sweeping right leg, Smoker suddenly crouched down to dodge the attacking kick.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of smoke erupted beneath Smoker, propelling him into the air with the force of the smoke jet, and he delivered a powerful hook punch to Loya's chin!

With a muffled thud, Loya staggered back several steps, a few drops of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and lost his balance.

effective!

"Ouch!!!!"

Smoker's eyes widened in fury. Seizing the opportunity, he lunged forward, roaring as he unleashed a barrage of punches that forced Loya to retreat repeatedly.

Final blow!

"White Snake!"

"Oh!"

Loya flew backward!
