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

Page 146

The G-5 marines around them were somewhat taken aback.

"Huh? The black-haired brother wants to challenge Lieutenant General Vergo?"

"Idiot, this isn't a challenge, it's instruction! Instruction, do you even understand?!"

"It means learning. How could the black-haired brothers possibly be a match for Lieutenant General Vergo? They want to learn from Lieutenant General Vergo, understand?"

"Oh I got it!"

The marines were buzzing with excitement, eager to see their admiral in battle.

Vergo nodded almost imperceptibly, then turned and walked toward the training ground. As the base commander, appropriately displaying force would help enhance his prestige among the marines.

Moreover, he has always maintained an approachable image within the base and takes good care of his subordinates; refusing to have black hair is not in line with his style.

"follow me."

"Yes!"

Loya took a deep breath.

Another purpose of his visit to the G-5 branch was to challenge Vergo, to personally experience the vast difference in their abilities, and to obtain a combat sample of his opponent.

The two stood ten meters apart on the training field.

Vergo stood on the field with his hands behind his back, without any weapons.

"bring it on."

"it is good!"

Loya's gaze sharpened, and he launched himself forward with a burst of speed, charging towards Vergo. The muscles in his right arm worked faster, and an aura of dominance enveloped him.

Concentrate your strength on one point!

"Iron piece broken!"

"Snapped!"

The fist was blocked by the palm!

Loya's pupils contracted slightly. Before he could retract his fist, Vergo grabbed him and dragged him into the air.

"Moonstep!"

Loya's body spun in the air, and he barely managed to stabilize himself by taking four Moon Steps. His right leg swept out horizontally, and azure bird-shaped slash shot downwards.

"Storm Kick - Flying Eagle!"

"too slow."

Vergo slightly turned his body to dodge the attack of the wave-slashing technique, then disappeared without a trace, instantly crossing dozens of meters to appear in front of Loya and kicking Loya in the abdomen!

"puff!"

Loya's cheek bulged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He shot towards the ground like an arrow.

"boom!!!"

Smoke and dust rose into the sky.

Standing on the sidelines of the training field, watching Loya being completely suppressed, Smoker's face darkened, and his anger surged.

"No match at all!"

"Of course, your opponent is a genuine lieutenant general from headquarters. You don't actually think the black-haired guy can win, do you? Tina is quite surprised."

"I see."

Smoker certainly didn't expect Loya to win.

But seeing Loya, who was supposed to defeat him, easily suppressed by Vergo made him realize his own weakness once again.

Smoker took off his coat and tossed it to Tina, who was standing next to him.

"Get it for me."

"What are you going to do, Smoker!"

Tina's heart tightened. Could Smoker be doing something foolish, just like that black-haired guy?

"What else can we do but challenge Lieutenant General Vergo, of course!"

Smoker responded coldly, stepping into the training field without looking back. When Loya is defeated, it will be his turn to play.

No matter what, Loya was his boss, a man he respected. He couldn't tolerate Loya being beaten up while he just stood by and watched.

"Smoker?"

Vergo caught a glimpse of Smoker entering the arena out of the corner of his eye, and his movements suddenly quickened as he kicked Loya next to Smoker.

"Pooh!"

Loya spat out a mouthful of blood, his gaze growing even more ferocious: "Smoker, this guy's tough. Let's attack together!"

"it is good!"

The two charged toward Vergo from the left and right!

"Iron Block - Shatter!"

"Steam-Powered White Fist!"

Chapter 120, 119th punch: "Fire Fist" Ace

at dusk.

11th fleet warship, medical room.

"hiss--!"

The rubbing alcohol on the wound caused Loya's face to twitch in pain. Although he could use "The World" to heal his injuries, he didn't do so.

Injuries in battle are common, and he has to get used to enduring pain, just like when he was beaten up by Garp in the world.

Moreover, if some external injuries heal too quickly, it would make him seem abnormal, and he didn't want to be carried onto Vegapunk's experimental table.

Not far from him, Smoker was also covered in wounds, his swollen face unrecognizable.

The loss was devastating.

Even when the two fought together, they were no match for Vergo, and couldn't even force him to use his full strength.

"Your steam-powered white fist move is pretty good."

"Hmph, thank you."

Smoker was very unhappy.

He spent his spare time reading books and learned a lot about physics, especially the principles of steam engines.

Imagine your body as a boiler, generating heat by accelerating muscle movement, raising the temperature and pressure inside your arms, and simultaneously converting blood and even bone marrow into steam.

In this way, every blood vessel in the muscle will be filled with high-pressure steam, and when the arm reaches its limit, the accumulated pressure will be released instantly through the fist!

The power is extremely explosive; it can even send Vergo flying, coughing up blood, with a single punch. However, it also puts a tremendous strain on the arm's endurance.

Smoker raised his swollen, red right arm, which looked like it had been roasted, and was still somewhat incredulous as he recalled his previous performance.

He has become stronger!

Science is truly amazing!

"Hey, Loya."

Smoker stared at Loya, somewhat puzzled.

If you just want to train, there are many strong people you can challenge in the G-1 branch, and you can even go to the headquarters to find Teacher Zephyr.

Why challenge Vergo?

"I want to defeat him."

Loya calmly recounted the facts.

Although extremely dangerous, this is the fastest shortcut to power; the other paths are far too long, except for the removal of Vergo.

"I'm going for a rest."

Loya got up and left the infirmary. After returning to his room, he didn't rest for a moment and immediately started "The World".

"Vergo" is waiting for him!

Time passed quickly, in the southern part of Thor's Island.

"Pull the boat over!"

"understand!"

The warships gave chase to the pirate ship at full speed!

"Be careful of the shelling!"
