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

"what?"

Loya was taken aback for a moment, then was pleasantly surprised.

He was worried that Fenbundy wouldn't play with him and he was looking for a suitable opponent; none of the marines of his generation were willing to train with him.

"Loya, don't agree to him."

Finbuddy stopped Loya.

Real combat is an important part of training, and the branch has always encouraged marines to hone their combat skills.

However, in order to ensure fairness and prevent veterans from bullying new recruits, naval regulations strictly prohibit veterans from challenging new recruits without authorization.

Even if a real sparring session is to take place, it must be conducted under the arrangement and supervision of the instructors. However, if both parties agree, there are no such restrictions.

Another point is that it's not a problem for new recruits to challenge veterans.

Finbdi put on his iron fist gloves, his face darkening: "Linus, if you want to fight, I'll be your opponent."

"Finbuddy".

Linus looked at Finbdi with a more serious expression, not because he was afraid of Finbdi, but because he was concerned about Finbdi's background.

He had heard some rumors that the other party's parents were naval officers, not people he could afford to offend.

His target is Loya.

Not only him, but many veterans wanted to find an opportunity to teach Loya a lesson. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and Loya's excellent performance and the instructors' differential treatment made them very unhappy.

Just recently, Loya was conducting live-fire training after his regular training, which gave the veteran an opportunity, and he came to take the lead.

"Brother Di, move aside."

Just as the two were facing off, Loya grabbed Finbuddy's shoulder and pulled him behind her.

How can we let a worthy opponent slip through our fingers, especially since we haven't even had a chance to vent our anger yet?

His fists were itching for a punch!

Loya pointed to the simple arena ring and said with high spirits, "Senior Linus, let's begin!"

"Ah, uh, okay."

Linus was a little confused by Loya's enthusiastic attitude. Did this kid really not see through his intentions? Or did he simply not take him seriously at all?

Looking at the excited newcomer in front of him, who was warming up with punches and muttering "hum hum ha hey" incessantly, he suddenly felt that his decision to pick a fight might have been a mistake.

No, not possible!

This kid is just a rookie who has never been on the battlefield. No matter how talented he is, he can't possibly beat him. He's an elite member of the 153rd branch who has killed pirates!

Let him see how terrifying "Iron Hand" is!

Chapter 13 won't waste much of your time.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several marines used hammers to drive four wooden stakes into the ground. Then, using the stakes as fulcrums, they pulled up ropes, and in an instant, a simple arena measuring 10 meters in length and width was erected.

The marines in the entire training ground were drawn to the arena, and even several instructors stood with their arms crossed, watching the spectacle from a distance.

"Go, Linus!"

"Teach the newbies a lesson!"

The veterans cheered excitedly, wishing they could be on stage themselves. It's normal for instructors to take care of newcomers, but they were naturally unhappy to see the newcomers stealing the spotlight every day.

In the center of the ring, the two were less than a meter apart.

My nickname is Iron Hand.

Linus bent down and picked up a stone from the ground. He weighed it in his hand and then suddenly clenched it tightly. The veins on the back of his hand bulged. In less than three seconds, the hard stone was crushed into pieces by his bare hands.

"See it!"

Linus released his grip, letting the rubble fall to the ground: "My grip strength exceeds a ton; I can easily crush stones and bones. That's where my name comes from."

"Great!"

Loya's heartfelt admiration.

He was only 187 cm tall, looking like a child next to Linus, who was 2.34 meters tall. Linus's fist was bigger than his head.

Its tall and robust physique represents formidable strength, easily crushing stones, and it also boasts advantages such as attack range and defense.

It's hard to imagine how powerful those strong men, who are seven or eight meters tall, must be, and how giants there are, who are twenty meters tall.

"Then, let's begin!"

The two turned and returned to the edge of the ring.

Linus spread his arms wide, like a beast poised to seize its prey, and grinned menacingly, saying, "Don't worry, it'll be over soon, it won't waste much of your time."

"I think so."

Loya raised his fists, ready for battle. Although he was at a significant disadvantage in terms of size, he felt no fear, but rather a peculiar feeling.

can win!

"start!"

"Oh oh oh!"

As soon as the referee, Finbdi, finished speaking, Linus roared, spread his arms, and charged wildly at Loya.

The ground seemed to be shaking!

Loya was neither intimidated nor willing to back down. He stared calmly at his opponent, his fists clenched tightly, ready to strike.

"This feeling!"

The feeling was completely different from when facing Finnbdi. The opponent was more like a raging beast, charging around recklessly with his strong body and no strategy whatsoever.

Full of flaws!

When they closed to within a meter, Linus's thick arms suddenly lunged at Loya, and if he had caught him, he could have snapped Loya's spine in an instant.

"so slow."

Loya's gaze was cold. Linus's attack trajectory was clearly visible to him. He slid to the left and easily avoided the opponent's grab.

"Snapped!"

My hands grasped at nothing!

"what!"

Linus was shocked, not expecting Loya to be so agile and easily dodge his killing move.

Before he could loosen his grip, his vision blurred and Loya had already strode up to his left.

"Straight Punch - Assault!"

A powerful punch slammed into his abdomen!

"Uh-huh!!!"

Linus arched his back, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, and he vomited a mouthful of stomach fluid, clutching his abdomen and staggering backward.

Linus is injured!

There was an uproar.

No one expected that, in just one exchange, the physically stronger Linus would be defeated head-on by Loya.

"Damn it!"

Linus clutched his lower back, the intense pain causing him to break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, his opponent did not take the opportunity to pursue him, otherwise he might have been defeated.

I moved my hand away, and there was a large bruise on my waist.

That kid is incredibly strong!

"Senior Linus, can we continue?"

Loya's eyes were piercing as he smiled and beckoned to Linus, saying, "Don't worry, it won't waste much of your time."

"."

Linus's pupils contracted, his anger instantly overriding his reason. He roared as he charged at Loya: "You only hit me once, don't get cocky. I'm going to crush you, you brat!"

"If you can do it, then come on!"

Loya coldly went to meet him.

He now finally understood why he was completely helpless when he first started training against Finbdy.

The attack intent was easily seen through, and even a fool would know how to deal with it. Linus's clumsy fighting style, like his previous one, was only suitable for crushing opponents whose physical abilities were far inferior to his own.

"Spinning and jumping!"

Loya tiptoed around Linus like he was breakdancing, easily dodging the incoming hand.

He secretly practiced dancing for two months, which made his body more and more flexible. His waist could even bend at almost a 90-degree angle, and his attack and dodge methods were also more flexible.

"Damn it, why can't we catch him!"
