One Piece: Starting with just a sword, the crew relies entirely on slashing.

When Sikong Zhen grabbed his calf, Buji immediately gathered all his Armament Haki in his calf, but because he was a step too late, his body was still somewhat numb and painful.

Sensing that the Armament Haki covering his calves wouldn't last much longer, Buji didn't dare to be careless. He quickly activated Life Return to shrink his calves and rapidly distanced himself from Sikong Zhen.

Boogie's move to shrink his legs to escape surprised Sikong Zhen, but in just a moment, he transformed into lightning and chased after him.

Sikong Zhen, seemingly omnipresent within this lightning domain, greatly increased the pressure on Buji. He continuously used Moon Step to try and break out of the lightning domain, but no matter where he fled, he was precisely intercepted by Sikong Zhen.

"You have nowhere to run. Under the thunder, all your tricks and schemes will be exposed."

The surrounding thunder echoed Sikong Zhen's voice. Seeing Sikong Zhen, who could transform into thunder, Buji recalled the news reports and subconsciously confirmed that Sikong Zhen was a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user.

Thinking of this, Buji's expression instantly became confident. He planned to fully mobilize his Armament Haki to unleash the Six Kings Spear technique and defeat Sikong Zhen in one fell swoop.

Seeing the sudden surge of confidence in Buji's eyes, Sikong Zhen really didn't know where Buji got his confidence from, actually believing that he could turn defeat into victory. He had no intention of avoiding his sharp edge, so he used Thunder Strike to meet him head-on. A shield of lightning enveloped him, and Armament Haki gathered in his arms. He wanted to see what it would feel like to strike with such an elbow.

Both of them were very confident in themselves and did not want to avoid each other's attacks. When Buji saw this, a smile began to appear on his lips, but he soon stopped smiling.

The Six Kings Spear, imbued with Armament Haki, shattered the lightning shield and struck Sikong Zhen precisely in the chest. However, the result was not what Buji had expected. Sikong Zhen merely let out a muffled groan, and the lightning power on his body showed no signs of being restrained by Haki. Instead, it struck Buji even more fiercely. Sikong Zhen felt a sharp pain in his chest and his elbow strikes became even more forceful, momentarily stunning Buji.

Within the lightning field, the sounds of striking continued. Buji's exaggerated vitality was completely inconsistent with his physique. Sikong Zhen had no intention of continuing like this. The scene looked somewhat cruel, and his stamina was almost exhausted. He couldn't drag it out any longer. After knocking Buji to the ground with a raging lightning strike, he mobilized all the Armament Haki in his body to wrap around his fists and hammered down from the sky with lightning.

After a loud bang, the thunder in the sky dissipated. Buji was charred black and emitting wisps of smoke. He no longer looked like a living person, but his eyes were staring straight at Sikong Zhen, his face full of disbelief. His mouth kept opening and closing as if he wanted to speak, but unfortunately, he was mute.

Sikong Zhen didn't understand why Buji had such an expression. In his view, this victory was a matter of course, and he sneered, "How can an ant shake a tree?"

Laying helplessly in the pit, Buji finally couldn't hold on any longer and closed his eyes. His heart stopped beating. In his last second before dying, he was thinking about why his domineering aura couldn't restrain the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. What he never expected was that Sikong Zhen didn't obtain his lightning through the fruit.

[Sikong Zhen's level has been raised to level six]

Having finished the battle, Sikong Zhen turned his gaze to Wang Zhe. Seeing that Wang Zhe was not under any pressure, he began to recover, as he had just exerted too much energy.

At this moment, Wang Zhe realized that Sikong Zhen had finished his battle and was planning to use all his strength to deal with Penia. He already knew that the strongest of the three was Iron Man, but unfortunately, that guy wasn't very bright.

On the battlefield, Penia, who was constantly using her speed to attack Wang Zhe, had the idea of ​​retreating after seeing that Buji had been defeated. However, Wang Zhe obviously would not let her have her way and mobilized his lightning speed to approach Penia.

Seeing the lightning on Wang Zhe's body that was almost identical to that of Sikong Zhen, Penia exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible! How can you also use the power of lightning?"

Wang Zhe, whose stamina had finally recovered, laughed and said, "Guess what? You thought you had me tied down, but actually I was waiting for my stamina to recover and my passive ability to cool down."

"What passive? What are you talking about?" Wang Zhe's words left Penia feeling completely bewildered.

"Watch closely, just like this!" Wang Zhe said as he mobilized the power of thunder to block all of Penia's escape routes. The flames of the famous sword Duming, which was surrounded by Armament Haki, blazed with a golden light and slashed towards Penia.

Penia had naturally witnessed the commotion caused by Sikong Zhen. Now, seeing that Wang Zhe could also use lightning, she felt a little flustered and failed to notice that Wang Zhe was just bluffing. After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and decided to use the Six Kings Spear, which was wrapped in Armament Haki, to block the famous sword Duming in Wang Zhe's hand.

This scene delighted Wang Zhe. He hadn't used any magic equipment, and besides, it was only a basic lightning technique, so it naturally didn't have much power. If Penia hadn't been afraid of lightning because of Sikong Zhen's battle and had directly charged out, he really wouldn't have been able to catch up. However, if he had fought head-on with the famous sword Duming in his hand, Penia's fate would have been sealed.

As the two clashed, Wang Zhe broke through Penia's Six Kings Spear, and his power was partially blocked. This gave Penia a chance to catch her breath. She quickly crossed her arms and used the iron block to defend herself. Although she managed to block it, she was seriously injured. She was knocked to the ground and could not move. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her arms were cut into a bloody mess.

Knowing she couldn't escape, Penia glared at Wang Zhe and said fiercely, "The World Government won't let you get away with this!"

"Coincidentally, I won't let the World Government off the hook either."

"you…"

Before Penia could finish speaking, Wang Zhe had already plunged the famous sword, Du Ming, straight into her heart.

Wang Zhe has been promoted to level six.

Meanwhile, the battle on the beach had basically ended. During the previous battle, Wang Zhe would occasionally hear system notifications, but the amounts were too small, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

Just as Wang Zhe was preparing to take stock of his gains, two more notification sounds came.

[Gold Coins +2000 x 3]

Meng Tian has been promoted to level six.

Wang Zhe wasn't surprised that Charlotte hadn't reached level six, after all, there were five people—General Meng, A, B, C, and D—so there were more monks than porridge.

Wang Zhe looked at the 550,000 gold coins and over 100 million Berries displayed on the panel. He was excited for a while. Considering that he had already offended the World Government, and that he still had enough gold coins for the time being, it was time to upgrade his Thunder Power.

Just as Wang Zhe was about to open the battle preparation panel to upgrade his Thunder Power level, he suddenly saw an update button appear in the upper left corner of the shop panel. He clicked it subconsciously, but the result made him grit his teeth in anger.

[Congratulations to the user for spending 30 gold coins to update the shop to the latest version; please restart in 10 minutes.]

"Damn! What a swindler!"

"Don't they even ask for user feedback? Thumbs down!"

After complaining for a bit, Wang Zhe accepted the fact. Although he felt a little sorry for the gold coins, he was also looking forward to what new features this update would bring. The thought of knowing the results in 10 minutes made him feel much better. He called out to Sikong Zhen and they walked towards the beach together.
