The next day, countless soldiers gathered in the training ground.
Sengoku and Garp were both present.
Everyone was excitedly waiting for the match to begin.
But as time went by, Ryuya's figure never appeared.
Sengoku glanced at his watch.
The match was supposed to start in five minutes.
If Ryuya didn't show up, it would be considered an automatic forfeit.
Akainu stood in the training ground, arms crossed, looking incredibly arrogant.
The soldiers around him were also unsure of what was going on.
"Ryuya wouldn't be afraid to come, would he?"
"No way, Ryuya is very strong. He should be able to fight Akainu."
"He did seem very strong at first, but no matter how you look at it, his Devil Fruit is a powerful support fruit. It doesn't enhance his strength much."
"If you say so, then Ryuya really isn't coming."
The soldiers around them whispered among themselves.
Hearing these words, Akainu felt even more disdain for Ryuya: Just a clown, suddenly joining, and daring to covet the position of Admiral. It's truly ridiculous!
Just then, a commotion arose in the crowd.
"Look! Look! Ryuya is here!"
"Ryuya is really here!"
"Ryuya, the real man!"
Ryuya and Kalifa walked through the crowd and arrived at the training ground.
He didn't look at Akainu, but instead at Sengoku first.
This was the first time he had met Sengoku.
Ryuya smiled and nodded at Sengoku.
This made Sengoku feel that Ryuya's ability to influence people's emotions was truly powerful.
Akainu frowned, turned to Sengoku beside him, and said, "Fleet Admiral, can the match begin?"
The more famous Ryuya became, the more unhappy Akainu became. Follow current novᴇls on No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt
Because it made Akainu feel like the Navy's justice had been humiliated.
How could the Navy let Ryuya casually join such a grand event?
This was something Akainu could not understand.
Although Akainu was very dissatisfied with Sengoku's actions, he couldn't say anything because of their ranking.
He could only vent his anger on Ryuya.
Akainu looked at Ryuya with eyes like he was looking at a dead man.
Facing Akainu, who was so filled with rage, a flicker of displeasure crossed Sengoku's eyes.
But this displeasure was fleeting, only noticed by Ryuya.
Sengoku looked at Ryuya and said, "Ryuya, are you ready?"
Ryuya's lips curved upwards, his eyes narrowed slightly, sunlight bathing his face.
This made Kalifa's heart flutter.
"If so, then the match begins!"
As Sengoku finished speaking, the entire training ground erupted in cheers.
At the same time, Akainu stepped forward, his right arm covered in molten lava. "Red Dog!"
Akainu's arm shot towards Ryuya, not only was the attack speed extremely fast, but the power was also extraordinary!
Seeing this, Ryuya coated his arm in Armament Haki and punched back!
In everyone's eyes, Ryuya's arm was instantly swallowed by Akainu's Hound Dog.
Then, it slammed into his chest.
The illusion dissipated.
Kalifa, seeing this, felt relieved.
Akainu's expression didn't change. He simply said in a deep voice, "Your strength is too weak. Changing back and forth like that is so unoriginal!"
As he finished speaking, Akainu turned abruptly, his body covered in molten lava, and slammed towards the back.
Another illusion shattered!
Akainu grinned. "There are three illusions left, right?"
As if to confirm his words, three illusions suddenly appeared before him, attacking Akainu!
Facing the attack of three illusions, Akainu first transformed his arm into a giant magma fist, then simulated the impact force of a volcanic eruption to launch the fist. The power was enough to instantly pulverize and vaporize an iceberg dozens of times larger than a Giant.
With this single blow, he easily shattered Ryuya's illusions.
The Five-Turn Illusion completely dissipated.
Ryuya's figure was revealed.
The people watching around were completely dumbfounded.
It all happened so fast.
So fast that they hadn't reacted before it was almost over.
"Akainu, Akainu is too strong!"
"It's no wonder he's one of the Navy's three monsters. This kind of strength, only Garp, Sengoku, and the other two Admirals could suppress him!"
"Ryuya, after all, isn't Admiral level!"
"No wonder Akainu looked down on Ryuya. His strength really doesn't match up!"
Hearing the whispers around him, Akainu looked down at Ryuya with disdain. "The weak cannot survive on the sea, nor can they uphold justice! You're too weak!"
"Oh, is that so? Is that really what you think?"
Ryuya's expression didn't change. Even after Akainu had shattered all five illusions, Ryuya wasn't nervous at all.
He still had a big smile on his face.
Seeing Ryuya's expression, the anger in Akainu's heart flared up.
"Just talking big! Die! Dog Bite Red Lotus!!!"
Akainu punched out, his lava-covered arm instantly transforming into the shape of a dog's head, scorching the surrounding air.
The air instantly became scorching hot, as if all the moisture had been evaporated by Akainu's fist.
With unstoppable momentum, it slammed towards Ryuya!
The soldiers around them subconsciously took several steps back, afraid of being caught in the blast.
"Ryuya won't be scared silly, will he?"
"Why isn't he moving?"
"He won't really be scared silly, will he?"
"If that hits him, he'll probably be seriously injured, or..."
Standing not far away, Sengoku and Garp felt something was wrong.
Garp said beside him, "Sengoku, should we stop this match? After all, I kid Ryuya. If he's properly trained, he'll eventually reach the level of an Admiral! It would be a shame if he died now."
"Ryuya isn't seriously injured, and he hasn't surrendered. We just need to watch."
Sengoku's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
It was clear that Sengoku was also nervous for Ryuya.
The dog's head made of molten lava grew larger and larger in Ryuya's eyes.
Just as the fist was about to strike, Ryuya smiled.
