A punch landed...
The scene that Kake imagined did not appear.
A powerful punch slammed into the brown scabbard... and the powerful impact caused ripples of air waves.
The smile on Kake's face froze instantly.
Looking at the scene in front of him in shock...
Facing my own sudden outburst of punch, I caught the scabbard in one hand without moving a muscle?
Gion behind him was also stunned. When did he make the move?
The navy men nearby were even more confused, as the whole process only took one second. When they saw Kake again, the two were already in a stalemate.
Kake looked up in shock, only to see Alan squinting his eyes and smiling harmlessly.
"Um...Captain Kake, although I'm happy for you to release me, I'd still like you to use a little more force."
The smile won't disappear, it will just shift, right?
Kake's mouth twitched, and he threw another powerful punch towards his shoulder.
boom!!!
Another wave of thoughts rippled out, and the powerful force stirred up the dust on the ground, but Alan in front of him still casually caught it with his scabbard.
He jumped back instantly to create distance.
"You bastard…"
Kake also realized that the guy in front of him was no simple man. If an ordinary captain took this punch from him, he would have to lie down for at least a week.
Kake gritted his teeth, readjusted himself, and assumed an attacking stance again.
The arms with tense muscles were instantly covered in black, and both arms took on a black metallic luster.
This is...
The surrounding navy officers were also looking at this scene in shock, and then looked at West next to them.
"Major, what's this?"
"...It's Armament Haki!" West was also a little shocked.
Generally, only major general-level officers can begin to master the use of Haki...
I didn't expect that Kake, who is just a captain, has already mastered the Armament Haki!
When Alan saw Kake with his arms covered in Armament Haki, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
He is indeed a candidate for the future general!
Kake also looked at Alan with a smug look on his face.
"You've never seen this before... I'll open your eyes today!"
Although Armament Haki is relatively rare in the world, it does exist.
Alan just wanted to stare at Kake as if it were a reward. It was the first time he encountered a user of Armament Haki.
if...
Before Alan could think about it, Kake disappeared instantly!
In a flash, Kake appeared in front of Alan again and attacked with all his strength!
This time, Kake did not hold back, thinking that there should be no problem this time... I will make you suffer!
You can't say that I'm letting you win!
Let you sleep with Mrs. Dahlia!
Make you love aiding women!
If Alan knew, he would just say, well... I was the one who was slept with, you know!
Bang!!
Kake opened his eyes wide again, looking at the familiar scabbard in disbelief...
Kake began to doubt his life. "This is Armament Haki! And you blocked it with an 'ordinary' katana?"
This punch will make a hole even in a steel plate!
It's so unfair...
Kake gritted his teeth and punched Alan continuously with both arms. The punches were so fast that afterimages could be seen.
Bang bang bang....!!!
Alan was still holding the scabbard with one hand to block, and he seemed to be at ease.
What the hell?
Is your broken wooden scabbard so durable?
After several minutes of intense punching, Kake was already panting and breathing heavily.
To others, Alan and Kake seemed to be playing around. Only Kake knew what he had been through and that his attacks were completely ineffective.
"Kake! What are you doing? Give it your all!" Gion's voice sounded from behind.
Kake was no longer as calm as before. I really gave it my all.
During the battle, Kake also felt the pressure coming from Alan.
Looking up at Alan holding the hilt of the knife, Kake suddenly had a bad feeling...
Damn!
Could it be... Alan showed that harmless smile again.
"Since Captain Kake's turn is over, then...it's my turn!"
The corner of Kake's mouth twitched, and a chill rose from behind him. How can you say such cold words with a mouth that is 37 degrees Celsius?
Alan began to adjust his breathing...
call...
call...
At this moment, Alan exhaled a breath of fire from the corner of his mouth, and the temperature around him became even hotter.
At this moment, Kake felt that the sea breeze was hot...
"You, you..."
The 'Ryūjin Jakka' in Alan's hand was not unsheathed, and he was in a slashing posture from bottom to top.
"Flame Breathing, Third Form: Blazing Universe..."
The scorching flames slashed directly towards Kake. In this attack, Alan did not rely on the power of "Ryūjin Jakka", but simply used the Flame Breathing.
Kake's eyes widened at the incoming flaming slash.
"Damn...why is there fire?! Is it a devil fruit?"
Just as Kake was about to take action, he found it was too late, so he could only cover himself with Armament Haki again.
When Gion saw this flaming slash, she was stunned for a moment...as if she remembered something.
Is this the rare style of swordsmanship mentioned in the information?
Instantly, a scorching flame slash hit Kake...
"Ahhh… It's so hot…!"
Kake's entire body was covered in flames, and he jumped around trying to wipe them off.
Suddenly, as if he discovered something, his eyes lit up...
Kake jumped into the sea at an extremely fast speed.
Sizzle!!
A burst of black smoke emerged from the sea, and soon after, Kake climbed ashore in a mess.
"Alan, you dare to set me on fire!"
I see.....
Kake hasn't eaten the devil fruit yet...
At this moment, Alan discovered that a golden ball of light fell out beside Kake!
"Hey...Captain Kake, why are you lying on the ground? It's cool down there!"
Alan immediately put on a smile and came to Kake. When he helped Kake up, he instantly touched the light ball.
"Pickup Reward: Armament Haki Fragment 1/3 (from the Pirate World)"
Kake touched his wrinkled face, which looked even more like a coal ball due to being burned by the flames.
"You bastard, I'm not done with you!"
"It's indeed my fault. Captain Kake is too powerful, so I had to use my ultimate move."
Alan immediately started to show off his acting skills.
"ε=(´ο｀*)))Alas..."
"How about this? I have a Happy Street VIP card here, which gives you a 30% discount on all Happy Street properties!"
Alan took out a black VIP card, and Kake's eyes lit up instantly, and he reached out to take it.
"I, I'm not that kind of person. Since Captain Alan is so kind, I will accept it with reluctance."
Alan: "Who is that kind of person? As a righteous navy, I want to help these helpless girls who are trying to make a living..."
Kake: ...
Kake's eyes lit up again.
.....What the hell?
Is this possible?
As a marine, it makes sense to help these unemployed girls, right?
Why didn't I think of it before!
It is true that you never stop learning...
