Pirate: I'm an admiral now, what's wrong with taking a little extra money?

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Kane walked into the center of the arena, casually untied the black cloth, revealing a strange katana that was entirely black with a swastika-shaped hilt, exposed to the sunlight.

All the swordsmen present who knew swordsmanship had their pupils shrink.

That knife, just looking at it, sent chills down one's spine.

High up, the three monsters all frowned simultaneously.

"I brought a new knife as a sign of my respect for you."

He glanced at Jia Ji, whose face was pale, and smiled gently, "By the way, have you picked out a dress? I think a pink lace one might suit your temperament better."

"you……!"

Jiaji's face turned a deep liver color.

"You go first."

Kane held the knife in one hand, the tip pointing diagonally to the ground, and turned his head to look in a certain direction in the audience, where Gion was nervously clenching her fist.

This attitude of completely disregarding him completely ignited Kaji's last shred of rationality.

"That's what you said!"

Jiaji assumed a fighting stance and roared to bolster his courage, "I'll show you the results of my daily efforts to become stronger!"

"effort?"

Kane smiled.

He didn't want to discourage the child, but in the world of One Piece, there are some gaps that you can't bridge even if you give your life for them.

With a roar, Jiaji stomped his feet on the ground, creating two deep craters in the hard rock arena!

Despite his unremarkable appearance, he is no ordinary candidate for future general!

At this moment, Gaji displayed astonishing explosive power. He was like a cannonball, instantly covering a distance of tens of meters. His heavy fist, fueled by the fire of jealousy, slammed into Kane's chest!

"Down you go!!"

boom!

A muffled thud echoed throughout the stadium.

However, the expected scene of Kane flying backwards did not occur; he didn't even sway his body.

That fist, powerful enough to pierce a steel plate, landed squarely on his chest, and then... it stopped there.

Kane looked away, glanced down at the fist mark on his chest, and a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Is this all you've done?"

"His power is scattered, and he's using the wrong points of force. Apart from being loud, he's utterly useless."

Jiaji's pupils trembled violently.

It wasn't just because the attack was ineffective, but also because he felt a despairing sense of oppression emanating from Kane!

"I don't believe it!!!"

With his composure shattered, Jiaji unleashed a furious barrage of attacks on Kane, swinging his arms wildly like a pile driver.

Bang bang bang bang!

The fists rained down like raindrops, striking Kane's chest, abdomen, shoulders... Gaggi used every ounce of strength he had, each punch producing a sonic boom as he furiously pounded into every part of Kane's body.

But Kane is like a towering mountain, unmoved by wind and rain.

Thirty seconds later.

Exhausted, he gasped for breath, his fists were red and bleeding, and his eyes were filled with confusion and fear.

gap……

Is he so powerful that he doesn't even have the right to break through his defenses?

Kane sighed inwardly.

Sigh, I was too hasty.

With his terrifying physique of 85 points, this level of attack was practically no different from tickling him.

I thought it was a punching bag to test my knife skills, and I figured I'd at least parry a few times with it...

In the end, I was overthinking it.

With such a disparity in strength, he doesn't even have the right to draw his sword.

The anticipation in my heart quickly cooled down.

Have you had enough fun?

Kane's voice rang out softly, tinged with a hint of dejection.

Jiaji suddenly looked up and met Kane's gaze, which instantly turned indifferent and even somewhat pitying.

Click.

At that moment, Jiaji heard the sound of his own mentality completely shattering.

"If that's the case, then let's end it here."

Before he could finish speaking, Kane casually unleashed a powerful blast with his right hand, which was simply covered in black Armament Haki.

Although 90% of the force has been withdrawn, it is still beyond what Jiaji can withstand at his current level.

boom!

A straightforward, unadorned punch landed squarely on Gaki's face!

"puff--!"

With blood streaming from his nose, his facial features contorted, he flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

Just as his body was still tracing a tragic parabola in mid-air.

Kane moved.

Since the knife is already in my hand, let's give it a try.

With a slight twist of his wrist, he lifted the jet-black longsword and casually swung it in the direction where Jiaji had been sent flying backward.

"Crescent moon..."

The low hum resonated in the air.

"...Tianchong".

Om-! ! !

A crescent-shaped slash, interwoven with black and red, compressed to the extreme, burst forth from the blade in an instant!

It shot into the sky right next to Kaji's backward-leaning body!

The terrifying wind pressure shattered Kaji's comical top hat.

While still in mid-air, Jiaji rolled his eyes. This time, he was truly terrified by the overwhelming aura of death and fainted, falling straight to the ground.

But the slashing did not stop.

The dark red crescent moon, like a raging dragon, roared and shot straight into the sky, domineeringly crashing into the heavens!

Rumble—!

A deep, muffled roar echoed through the sky.

Everyone looked up in horror.

The thick cumulus clouds overhead were actually cleaved in two by this strike!

The sky has cracked open.

The gloomy clouds receded to both sides, and golden sunlight streamed through the huge crack, shining directly on the figure standing in the center of the arena, holding a knife.

Kane casually twirled his sword, then let it hang naturally, watching everything with indifference.

The entire training ground was deathly silent.

Three seconds later.

"Aaaaaahh ...

The stands erupted in screams powerful enough to topple Marineford, and countless female soldiers fainted on the spot from excitement.

"This is swordsmanship?!"

"You cut the cloud in half?! You must be kidding me!"

"So handsome!! Major General Kane, I want to have your babies!!"

On the high platform.

Borsalino's sunglasses slipped down to the tip of his nose, and his expression turned serious.

"...Are you kidding me? A strike of this magnitude..."

Kuzan's eyes were also filled with shock: "...This is troublesome. This guy's swordsmanship was clearly just average when he was in the elite camp. When did he become even more monstrous than his Devil Fruit ability?"

Sakazuki stared intently at the black blade in Kane's hand, then glanced at the sky that had been cleaved open.

He turned to look at Borsalino, who was also a master swordsman, his voice hoarse:

"Borsalino, did you see that clearly? His swordsmanship..."

Borsalino adjusted his glasses, his tone more serious than ever before.

"I couldn't see it clearly, but... I knew that the strike had already entered the realm of a 'great swordsman'."

In the crowd, Gion stared blankly at the figure bathed in sunlight, her eyes unfocused.

She knew that she might never be able to erase that figure from her mind for the rest of her life.

At this moment, the girl's defenses completely crumbled.
