Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"I'm going to be very rude to you!"

"Shishiwei Haijuan!"

As Shiki laughed maniacally, he opened one hand, and the sea instantly began to churn. The towering seawater converged into terrifying torrents, which in turn formed the heads of roaring lions.

These lion heads slammed down viciously onto the warship where Zefa was located.

to be frank!

Even among strong individuals of the same level, there is a difference. For example, people like Shiki and Newgate are very good at large-scale battles because their Devil Fruits are meaningless when faced with a large number of opponents.

But for people like Locke and Zephyr, it's a different story; there's a significant difference when facing a multi-person attack.

"Black Arm, Storm Kick!"

Zefa suddenly soared into the sky, using Moon Step, and unleashed a series of slashes. Compared to normal slashes, the power of these strikes was terrifying. In a short time, the explosive attack sent chills down everyone's spine.

brush!

brush!

All the lion heads were sliced ​​open in an instant, and Zefa smirked, saying ferociously, "Golden Lion! Aren't you being a bit too arrogant? Are you looking down on me?"

"Hahahaha~~~"

"Zefa!"

"I'm really looking forward to killing you!"

"come!"

Shiki and Zephyr exchanged a glance, then simultaneously charged at each other with terrifying speed, seemingly intent on killing each other outright. This astonishing speed brought with it astonishing power.

Crackling!

Rumble!

The two men exuded an exceptionally terrifying killing intent, filled with a terrifying fighting spirit. At this moment, there was no need for any nonsense. They were old rivals and naturally knew what the other wanted to do.

Locke and his two companions watched the battle between the two men, then calmly turned their attention to the naval warship that was gradually approaching the shore.

"Hmm~"

Locke narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had a bold idea.

but!

at this time.

Leone then made a sudden move.

Ding dong!

The lion's claw, wreathed in Armament Haki, blocked the astonishing slash. The claw and the slash collided instantly, producing dazzling sparks. Leone's opponent then appeared—a beautiful woman who looked to be in her teens with jet-black hair.

"Um?!"

She seemed surprised that her attack would be blocked.

brush!

The two separated instantly, while Leone remained standing in place. Leone, however, spun in mid-air and landed gracefully on the ground, pointing her knife at Leone with one hand and asking, "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" Leone smirked and retorted, "When asking someone's name, shouldn't you first tell them your own?"

"Private First Class, Navy Headquarters, Gion!"

"My name is Leone!"

The two introduced themselves and gazed at each other.

All of a sudden!

The two felt that their strengths were roughly equal.

Locke glanced at her and muttered to himself, "Gion! A future candidate for Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, but right now she's just a little girl. There's no need to take her too seriously."

Locke didn't seem to care much about Gion, and his expression remained very calm.

even though!

These are all powerful figures from the original work, but at this point in time, they are just little girls. It's just that Leone's foundation is relatively weak, and she hasn't had enough time to learn both types of Haki. Otherwise, Leone could have defeated Gion, instead of being roughly equal in strength.

after all!

Who isn't a genius?

joke!

Those who become Teigu users may seem to have varying levels of strength, but! You must understand that every Teigu user is a genius, a monster with exceptional talent.

It's just that!

The biggest problem is that some people develop their work to the level of Esdeath, while others just produce garbage.

They were all geniuses, but Esdeath was even more of a prodigy.

Chapter 49: The Challenge! Three Young Men Heading Straight for the General!

"Rabbit Slash!"

Gion suddenly moved, her movements incredibly fast, like a rabbit leaping left and right, leaving only afterimages in sight.

For an instant.

That sharp longsword, without anyone noticing, had already landed on Leone's neck.

Unfortunately!

It's completely meaningless.

Leone took a step back in an instant, narrowly dodging Gion's attack.

Esdeath is a terrifying monster; her mastery of Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, and Observation Haki is astonishing.

and!

Leone is completely different. Leone's Armament Haki is very strong, but! In fact, her most powerful ability is Observation Haki. Leone has an instinctive beast-like reaction, and this reaction brings about an amazing Observation Haki.

"drink!"

Leone followed with a loud shout and simultaneously threw a punch, slamming it directly into Gion's chest.

But!

Gion's reaction speed was also extremely fast, instantly sheathing her sword to block Leone's attack.

Just for a moment.

Although Gion managed to block it, she still felt the terrifying power, and her entire figure was sent flying backward.

"Cough cough cough~~~"

After staggering backward, Gion finally managed to stand still, coughing violently and rubbing her chest. Even though she hadn't been touched, the impact of that moment felt like her heart had almost shattered.

"You reacted quickly!" Leone said with a smile, "If you had reacted any slower, this punch would have gone straight through your chest."

"Humph!"

Gion merely hummed softly, forcing herself to gradually regain her composure, and then continued to gaze at Leone.

to be frank!

Gion had never imagined that Leone's strength was truly so astonishing; it was simply too terrifying. She was a truly terrifying monster.

"Whoo~~~"

Gion exhaled a deep breath, and this time she dared not be careless at all, becoming even more vigilant.

Leone also slightly bent over, his eyes sharp as a roaring lion king, and confidently said, "Then! Next, let me test your strength."

"Want to give it a try?" Gion said without any politeness. "Then let's see if you can use your head to try it out."

"..."

Both women were looking at each other with equally solemn and wary expressions.

after all!

The two women weren't stupid; they both saw very clearly that their opponent was very strong. This was no joke; his strength was truly terrifying, even astonishing.

Therefore!

When dealing with such a person, one must never be careless, not even for a moment. A moment of carelessness could cost one's life. That is why we must be so vigilant.

The two women exchanged a glance.

brush!

brush!

The two figures rushed towards each other at the same time, their eyes flashing with a sharp light.

The battle is about to begin!
