Chương 46: Each Person's Battle

Sakazuki could no longer hold back and charged forward, unleashing his signature move, "Great Fire Breath."

As for accidental injuries, he never worried about that. If they survived, they survived; if they didn't, they died. He would report them as having died in the line of duty.

"Hey, this guy looks pretty old, why is he still so hot-tempered?" Xia Mi teased as she pulled out an earthen wall to block Akainu's attack.

This earthen wall certainly wouldn't block Akainu, but it could obstruct his view.

Then Xia Mi flashed and appeared not far from Akainu, kicking the guy away.

He wasn't afraid of accidentally hurting anyone, but Xia Mi was.

If you want to fight, go far away.

Xia Mi followed closely behind and rushed over immediately.

That kick sent him flying to a nearby island.

"Fenrir, go and try fighting Mr. Karp," Richard said.

"Okay." Fenrir pulled out his giant sword and walked towards Garp. As he walked, he cast various buffing spells on himself.

As the king of the earth and mountains, he can use all the dragon-related incantations of this bloodline.

Sensing Garp's powerful aura, he held nothing back and fought with all his might.

"I'll deal with Onigumo. I'll leave the flying squirrel, who uses a knife, to Kuina." Lin Feng drew his sword and walked towards Onigumo.

"Kuina, you haven't fought a swordsman of similar strength since you set sail, have you? This person should be about your strength. Go and fight him," Richard said.

"Okay." Kuina walked out and stood facing the flying squirrel.

"Kuina, swordswoman, please guide me."

The flying squirrel suddenly responded.

"Swordsman Momonga, please guide me."

The clash between the two swordsmen was rather simple and unadorned, lacking flashy moves or dazzling special effects. There was only the clash of swords, each strike carrying deadly intent.

Cold and sharp, only the crisscrossing sword energy and the jagged, broken earth after being cut open.

"Huh? What about me?" Erii looked confused. Why did it feel like she was the only one left with nothing to do?

"Does Erii want to fight?"

All the men have been distributed. The navy is not doing a good job; they only sent so few people, not even enough to go around.

Richard thought for a moment, and if all else failed, he could heal the naval rear admiral on the ground and let Erii have a go, so that he could at least feel a sense of participation.

Erii shook her head; fighting wasn't fun at all.

"Then we can just stay here with them and wait for their battle to end," Richard said.

"Okay." Erii sat obediently, her gaze sweeping across the battlefield in several directions.

Xia Mi is too far away to see, so we'll skip her.

Fenrir seems clumsy, always getting beaten up? This old man named Karp is amazing, his fighting skills are superb, he missed all of Fenrir's attacks.

"Brother Richard, don't you need my help with Fenrir's side?" Erii asked.

"No need. It just so happens that he lacks combat experience, so he can learn something from Capudo," Richard said after careful observation.

Although Fenrir was being beaten, he felt he could hold on for a while longer, so there was no rush.

The battle between Lin Feng and Ghost Spider had a somewhat stream-of-consciousness feel to it.

Lin Feng mainly cultivates classical martial arts qi cultivation and the One-Man World qi cultivation method, cultivating both body and mind. Apart from his slow power growth, he has no other weaknesses.

To make up for this, he also learned some techniques from the Slug Sage for sensing and absorbing natural energy.

If seeking within isn't fast enough, then let's add seeking the energy of heaven and earth from the outside.

He then localized some ninjutsu and sealing techniques, adapting them into methods he could use.

So don't be fooled by Lin Feng's sword; he's more of a mage.

For example, Lin Feng would occasionally unleash an earth-based spell to block Ghost Spider's progress, and then suddenly a small fireball would appear and smash towards him.

However, Onigumo, who possesses Observation Haki, often dodged in advance when he sensed that this guy was about to make a move.

Although Lin Feng lacked domineering presence, his true energy was far more troublesome because it could penetrate the body and attack the vulnerable internal organs.

Otherwise, why do those martial arts masters suffer internal injuries from time to time? Isn't it because their internal energy penetrates their bodies, causing internal organ damage?

Therefore, every time Lin Feng's sword touched Ghost Spider's body, it would cause him real damage.

If it weren't for the fact that people in the One Piece world have thick skin and tougher internal organs, Onigumo would have been lying down long ago.

Finally, Kuina and the flying squirrel fought fiercely, and for the time being, neither side could gain the upper hand.

An hour later, Richard realized that Fenrir was about to give up.

By this time, Fenrir was already badly beaten and had a swollen face.

Garp had a blast; he hadn't encountered such a resilient punching bag in a long time.

As for Fenrir's occasional retaliatory strikes against Garp?

Sorry, it didn't break through the defenses; it only shredded the clothes to pieces and had no other effect.

"That's enough, Fenrir. We've gone far enough," Richard advised Fenrir.

If Fenrir wants to continue fighting, he either needs to transform into a dragon or use the Word of Annihilation.

There's no need to be so ruthless.

After all, the island's foundations had collapsed inwards considerably after being ravaged by so many powerful figures.

If Fenrir unleashes a powerful attack, the entire island will sink.

Fenrir retreated upon hearing this, and Karp attempted to intercept him.

But a stream of water stopped him.

"Vice Admiral Garp, let me play with you for a bit." Richard transformed into a stream of water, merging into the water and appearing before Garp along with the water.

Well, although he hasn't yet successfully grasped the basics of Yuanrou Xuanao, he hasn't come away completely empty-handed.

Over the past few days, he has been trying to practice the Hozuki clan's water transformation technique.

Previously, research on this secret technique in the ninja world yielded no results, but now that I have chakra, I can try to use it directly.

After all, seeing with your own eyes is never as intuitive as experiencing it firsthand.

And yet, they find themselves in the world of One Piece, a world where water-based laws are prevalent.

As expected, although the Water Transformation Technique was a bloodline secret technique of the Hozuki family, Richard learned it in this world in just a short time.

Then, naturally, after learning the secret technique of water transformation, he focused on comprehending the feeling of transforming into water, and before long he had grasped the profound mysteries of water body techniques.

We are now focusing all our efforts on mastering the profound mysteries of roundness and softness.

As for Kizaru, he had already casually sealed him away and thrown him into a small world.

"As expected, you're a Water-Water Fruit user." Upon seeing this, Garp immediately mistook the Water Transformation Technique for an elemental transformation ability.

"Whatever you say goes." Richard was too lazy to explain; let them think what they want.

Garp was puzzled. Did the Water-Water Fruit really exist? Why wasn't it mentioned in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia?

Could it be that it was hidden by the World Government?

Wouldn't this guy be the natural counter to all Devil Fruit users?

As is well known, Devil Fruit users are afraid of seawater, and they will even lose their powers and suffer a significant loss of stamina if their bodies come into contact with a large area of fresh water.

It can be said that all Devil Fruit users are people who have been cursed by water.

But now there's a Water-Water Fruit? Does that mean this guy is still afraid of seawater?

More and more questions arose in Karp's mind.

This guy may seem carefree, but he's actually quite meticulous beneath his rough exterior. He has a very delicate mind.

Unfortunately, Richard was destined not to answer his questions.
