I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

Chapter 54 That wasn't a duel, it was just children playing house.

……

A month later, Dick was still training hard, sweating profusely.

This time, it's real combat.

He sought out Koushirou for sparring.

While domineering skills can reach a certain level, the fastest way to improve is still through actual combat.

"If your sword speed isn't fast enough, don't use your wrist. Use your elbow, use the power of your elbow," Koushirou instructed, holding the sword.

"Save your strength, remember to change your tactics."

If given the chance, he would occasionally slash at it with a knife.

It's a real knife.

They were ruthless.

The injuries were nothing compared to the fact that Dick had almost died several times.

Dick always felt there was a personal grudge involved.

“How could that be, Dick? You’re too narrow-minded. This is absolutely not a personal grudge.” Koushirou said with a serious expression.

Combined with his posture and tone of voice, he exuded the aura of a grandmaster.

"Domineering aura, swordsmanship, the more brutal the battle, the faster the progress."

"You have the fire of life, and you can heal from any injury. The more pressure you face, the greater your progress will be."

As long as it's not a disability or death, the greater the pressure, the better.

Koushirou's sword was itching to be used.

He then unleashed another sword strike, aimed directly at the heart.

Dick dodged the attack, went forward again, and was then hacked to pieces once more.

Regardless of whether Koushirou had ulterior motives, at least one thing he said was true.

The greater the pressure, the faster the progress.

Dick didn't lose out either.

He took the initiative himself.

So what if he got chopped down? Let the old man do it. Oh well, he's Kuina's father after all. Let's make the teacher happy.

However, once I become stronger...

Old Deng, don't blame me for taking over.

Koushirou squinted his eyes.

How could I not know what Dick was thinking?

However, it doesn't matter. On the road to becoming the strongest swordsman, powerful opponents are an indispensable part.

Therefore, Koushirou became even more ruthless and cherished the days when he could freely torment Dick.

Anyway, seeing Dick's miserable state always gave Koushirou an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

It felt like eating a cold drink on a hot summer day, refreshing from head to toe.

Huhu.

When the strong wind came again, it was Dorrag's face, like a child trying to stop crying.

"Dick, I need your help."

Dick: ? ? ?

Soon, Dick finally found out what was going on.

It can be said that Dick's vision for the revolutionary army was bright, but the specific steps were fraught with difficulties.

He smiled; the revolutionary army was still searching.

Princess Violet of Dressrosa completely ignored Dragon and continued to enjoy her carefree princess life.

The operation to subvert the navy also needs to be carried out gradually.

The only good news is that the Sky Island forces are weak, and the Revolutionary Army is fully prepared to launch a major offensive.

The problem with Dragon this time is the two legendary giants on Little Garden Island.

"Dongli and Brogy won't listen to me at all. They insist on a duel, and nothing can stop them," Dragon said helplessly.

Ninety years ago, Don Librock and his companion had a disagreement over a little girl's casual remark: who hunted the bigger prey?

Thus began a century-long duel between the two sides, now it's 90 years old.

"Can't you just beat them into submission? Don't tell me you can't."

"They are our future allies, so why fight them? Moreover, if we need to use force to retake them, it means they are not like-minded comrades. Even if we cooperate, we will never gain Elbaf's sincere treatment in the future."

Dick has a toothache.

Dorag, you big-eyed bastard, instead of thinking about increasing your combat strength, what are you thinking about, like-minded people?

So you've been listening to the nonsense about uniting the majority.

Who cares if they share the same ideals or not?

That's what real fighting power is—winning over those you have.

If you can't win them over, you're nothing.

"So, what you mean is..."

"I'd like to ask if you have any ideas on how to persuade them both."

Dick: (ˉ▽ˉ；)

Dick suddenly realized that Dragon seemed incredibly shameless.

How could he make such a self-evident request?

However, this shamelessness is extremely advantageous to the revolutionary army.

"Okay, I understand. I'll think of a way."

Little Garden Island is a pristine island brimming with springtime charm, home to numerous ancient creatures.

It features a wide variety of creatures, including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, and Archaeopteryx.

If a biologist were to arrive, they would definitely think they had arrived in paradise.

Recreating Jurassic Park would be a piece of cake.

This is also the arena for the duel between two legendary pirates, Dorry and Brogy.

"Their sacred duel has lasted for 90 years," Dragon said with admiration. "Look, the center of the island has long been leveled by their power."

"And weapons,"

Both Dorry and Brogy's weapons and shields, even with the added power of Haki, were badly damaged.

"So Dick, I really don't know how to persuade them."

The bear nodded in agreement.

Ninety years of duel, ninety years of hard work, both have forgotten the reason for their original duel, leaving only the battle.

It's estimated that, apart from Elbaf facing a crisis of extinction, the two Titans would be completely oblivious to what's going on around them.

Nothing can bother them.

"Simple, let them decide the winner."

"Impossible, they've been dueling for over 90 years and still haven't won. How could you..." Dragon's meaning was clear.

What makes you think you can guarantee a winner?

“That’s incredibly simple for you and for me,” Dick said with a confident smile.

Dragon: ...

“Even if two people are exactly the same, they can still determine a winner in the final moments,” Dick laughed.

Strength does not guarantee victory or defeat; condition, weather, location, and psychology can all have an impact.

Clapping his hands, Dick came up to Dorley.

Direct provocation.

"Dongli, you've been fighting for 90 years without a clear winner. Did you never even want to settle things with Brogy?"

"What? Human, are you insulting me?" Donley roared in fury.

"Isn't that right? Is it so hard to determine a winner? A duel is a gamble with everything. There must be winners and losers in a duel."

"Hehehehehe, you don't know anything. Broggi is very strong. Every duel is a draw."

“That’s because you didn’t fight to the very end,” Dick interrupted. “Don’t rush to refute this. Did you stop fighting every time you reached a certain point? Or did you end the match when the time was up? And then call it a draw.”
