Faced with this situation, Zhao Hai could not tolerate it and immediately decided to turn the tables and do the opposite.

"Red-haired monster, today I'll grant your wish! Take this!"

"Brother Hai! I'll handle this opponent."

Before Zhao Hai could finish his harsh words, Koby behind him suddenly spoke up.

Zhao Hai turned around and glanced at Koby, but what he saw startled him. Koby was staring intently at Granite in front of him.

His eyes sparkled with intense excitement, as if he were afraid that if he waited any longer, his beloved "toy" would be snatched away.

Seeing Koby's strong fighting spirit, Zhao Hai couldn't refuse and nodded, saying, "Alright, Koby, then you can take care of this red-haired monster."

"K-By!"

No sooner had Zhao Hai finished speaking than Luffy and Zoro's exclamations suddenly rang out from the Den Den Mushi that hadn't been disconnected.

"Hai, was that Coby next to you just now? Was he the Coby from the town where you met Zoro?..."

Before Zhao Hai could answer, Luffy's series of questions rang out through the Den Den Mushi.

Listening to the continuous sounds coming from the Den Den Mushi, Zhao Hai simply said one word: "Yes!"

"Wow... Koby has really changed a lot!"

Following Zhao Hai's reply, another sigh of admiration from Luffy rang out.

Zhao Hai could only mechanically reply with "Yes," "Um," and "That's right."

Meanwhile, on the high platform, Grand was very annoyed by Koby's sudden appearance and troublemaking, but seeing Zhao Hai's expression that said, "If you can't even beat Koby, then you're not qualified to challenge me!", he had no choice but to hold back for the time being.

"Caribbean Sea! After I deal with this troublesome brat, let's see what excuse you can come up with then?"

As he left, Grand gave Zhao Hai a fierce look before heading to the arena with Koby.

The central area of ​​this high platform is divided into nine arenas.

Because the platform is quite large, the battles between them are not significantly affected, especially since the Navy Headquarters' top combatants are stationed nearby.

"Kid, your name is Coby, right? You shouldn't have taken this opportunity to embarrass yourself for that kid from Caribbean Sea. I advise you to give up now, so you won't be embarrassed later and you won't waste my time."

On the arena, Grand looked at Koby opposite him and said with disdain.

"Hehe... Whether to give up or not, we'll only know after we fight it out!"

Despite Grant's provocation, Koby showed no emotional change, remaining calm and composed, and facing the match with a smile.

"Hmph! Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Grant rarely bothered to argue with Koby for being so clueless.

Then, Grante straightened up, his eyes fixed on Koby, and an invincible aura suddenly appeared.

Feeling the aura emanating from Grand, Koby's blood was boiling, his fighting spirit surging.

The clash of titans, though they haven't even exchanged blows yet, has already made the surrounding air feel heavier, as if it's carrying the weight of their combined power.

At this moment, the Buddha Sengoku, who had remained silent beside the high platform, said calmly, "This Grand is indeed worthy of being introduced by the one above. Despite his young age, he possesses a vast and mysterious power that is ready to be unleashed."

Then, pointing to Koby, who was fighting him, he asked, "And this boy who is confronting Grand is also quite good. Do you know him?"

"Hahaha... that kid's name is Koby, and he's my apprentice."

Upon hearing the name of Buddha Sengoku and Koby, the old man Garp, who had been fast asleep, immediately woke up and excitedly introduced him to everyone.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Things Zhao Hai Forgot

"Hu-hu-"

After saying that, old man Garp tilted his head down again and drifted off to sleep once more.

Sengoku the Buddha was unsurprised by Garp's seemingly resurrected behavior and simply smiled.

While everyone was discussing this, Koby and Grand were also poised to unleash their power at any moment.

However, both of them had remarkable stamina, and they remained locked in a standoff for a full three minutes without either of them making the first move.

Koby observed Granter's every move.

He was familiar with his opponent, Grand, who was considered one of the strongest in the third generation of the Navy, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.

Grand, however, disdained to make the first move against Koby, an unknown kid. He felt that would be beneath his dignity, so he patiently waited there.

Although the two ideas were completely different, the navy personnel in the audience unanimously believed that this was a clash of styles between masters.

However, this put Zhao Hai in a difficult position. He was initially curious about Koby's strength, but seeing these two guys who seemed like sitting old monks, he could only shake his head and shift his attention to Gary's battle.

Gary's fight was much more direct than Koby's; the two bowed slightly and then began to fight.

Gary's opponent was clearly far inferior to him.

Because after being struck by Gary's elbow, the opponent was swaying uncontrollably, as if even standing was difficult for him.

However, this guy was tough; even in this situation, he refused to admit defeat and used the Navy's Six Styles - Shave with all his might to dodge, making a final struggle.

However, it was clear that Gary's mastery of the Six Styles of the Navy was superior to his opponent's, who barely managed to dodge Gary's two attacks.

When Gary launched his third attack, his opponent finally couldn't dodge Gary's punch and fell to the ground with a "thud," making it very easy for Gary to win the challenge.

"Hmph! When are you going to make your move? The people around here have already finished a fight."

Grand, watching Gary and the others finish their battle, finally couldn't hold back any longer and snorted coldly at Coby.

"Uh?"

Seeing Gran's angry expression, Koby waved his hand.

He explained with a helpless expression, "Haven't I been waiting for you to make a move? I was wondering why you didn't."

"you……"

Grand looked completely unconvinced by Koby's explanation.

Convinced that the other party was playing a trick on him, he acted without hesitation, his anger rising.

"呲-"

Seeing that Grand had already made his move, Koby dared not be careless. He drew his longsword and raised it to defend himself.

"Boy, how dare you play tricks on me! Die!"

In the instant the battle began, Grant had already used the Naval Six Styles Shave technique to get behind Coby, raised his right fist, and aimed straight at Coby's forehead.

Coby was no weakling either; he fought back against Grand's sudden attack using the Six Powers of the Navy.

Having studied swordsmanship with Bogart for a year, Koby's understanding of sword techniques was not too bad. He was able to successfully parry Grand's attacks with his sword every time.

With a wrist guard protecting his left hand, Grand was completely unfazed by Koby's fierce sword attacks, meeting them head-on.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The clash between sword strikes and elbow/wrist guards is a direct contest of strength.

As the forces exerted by both sides continued to increase, even the surrounding air was shaken, producing a series of loud "buzzing" sounds, which deeply shocked the navy below the stage.

At the same time, it deeply shocked Zhao Hai, who was standing to the side with his mouth wide open. He was known as the strongest among the new generation of naval recruits, who was invincible.

"call--"

Zhao Hai watched the battle between Grand and Koby with bated breath, and he was really on tenterhooks.

This sweat wasn't for Koby or Grand, who were currently fighting.

Instead, he was glad for himself, for not playing and for having Koby replace him.

"Damn it! I got so excited that I forgot that my strength hasn't increased much in the past year because of the physical training tasks for the system Xiao Jin."

"If I had just accepted Grand's challenge and stupidly run into the ring, I would have made a huge fool of myself."

Zhao Hai's lips twitched violently as he watched the immense power emanating from Koby and Grand on the arena.

Gary's previous battle came and went quickly, and Zhao Hai hadn't figured out what was going on at the time.

But the battle between Coby and Grand, with their absolute power, clearly demonstrates that Coby's strength has been far surpassed by these super geniuses of the Navy.

Not to mention Zepa, the white-haired swordsman whose strength was at the level of a naval captain a year ago, a hidden master who never made a move from beginning to end.

Zhao Hai was confident that his speed had improved rapidly this year, and that it would be difficult for Grante and his team to hurt him.

But this isn't a race to escape; it's a real fight, a contest that requires real guns and bullets.

Moreover, Zhao Hai is an invincible man who has swept aside the new generation of naval personnel.

How could he run onto the arena and hide like that? That's not befitting his status, so Zhao Hai would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

Fortunately, Koby is doing well and is fighting Granter to a standstill, which has bought Zhao Hai some time to recover.

"Ok?"

Just as Zhao Hai was racking his brains for a solution, he felt a strong fighting spirit coming toward him, and he frowned slightly.

Looking towards the source of the fighting spirit, Zhao Hai saw the white-haired swordsman Zepa staring at him with fervent eyes, as if boundless fighting spirit was boiling within him.

"Uh?"

"I completely forgot about Zepa, the ultimate boss-level character. This is really troublesome."

"Should I refuse or refuse? Should I refuse or refuse? Should I refuse or refuse?"

Zhao Hai stared at Zepa across from him, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to defeat Zepa, the ultimate boss.

Uh—no, not defeat, but how to rationally and righteously refuse this unequal battle.

Zhao Hai looked at Zepa, his expression remaining unchanged.

He was afraid that Zepa might act impulsively and deduce the wrong message from the changes in his facial expressions that "he accepted the challenge," which would be extremely bad.

"Heh...it seems someone wants to challenge you!"

Just as Zhao Hai was wondering how to answer, the burly Burnham declared that he would challenge Zepa, and Zhao Hai relaxed slightly.
