One Piece: Biggest Scum in Marine History - Chapter 142
July 28
The winner of the first duel is... Kuzan!
Zephyr, standing on the edge of the school field, folded his arms and announced loudly.
Kuzan and Gion, who drew number 1, had no suspense in their duel. As Onigumo said before, before they mastered Armament Haki, none of them had the slightest chance of winning against the monster Kuzan.
There is no doubt about the power of natural devil fruit users in the early stage. The passive elementalization ability alone is enough to make the user invincible. Even if Gion's swordsmanship is the strongest among the students in this training camp, there is nothing he can do about it. Not to mention that even without the use of Devil Fruit powers, Kuzan's own strength far exceeds hers.
In less than a minute, the battle between the two ended with Gion's feet frozen. Everyone watching the battle did not express too much surprise, but they were still shocked by Kuzan's power. As a result, Kuzan took the lead in entering the finals.
Next game, Darren vs. Addition!
Amid everyone's expectant eyes, Zephyr turned his attention to Darren and Kake. Then several black lines appeared on his forehead. He saw Kake standing there with a desperate look of "I'm going to die." His two hairy legs were shaking like chaff.
"What's the matter, Rear Admiral Kake, why don't you come on stage?"
Darren walked to the center of the school ground, twisted his neck, and made a sound like fried beans. He looked at Kake with interest and smiled:
"I'm standing here. This is the best chance to 'kill me, this bastard'..."
Seeing such a glance from Darren, especially the terrifying smile on the corner of the latter's mouth, Kake felt bad all over, and sweat was pouring down his spine. He hurriedly avoided the Commodore's gaze and looked at Zephyr tremblingly:
"Um... Teacher Zephyr, I feel like I'm sick. I feel so uncomfortable."
Kake covered his heart and pretended to feel uncomfortable.
Everyone: ...
Zephyr's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"This bastard boy thinks that my domineering power of knowledge and knowledge is useless, right? Are you sure you don't feel well?"
Kake's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a fool:
"That's right, I'm sick. I have a disease that prevents me from participating in the duel."
Zephyr said, "Oh," walked slowly to the practice fort nearby, loaded ammunition into the barrel, and adjusted the direction as if nothing had happened. The black gun barrel was aimed at Kake.
"Feeling better now?"
Kake: ...
Everyone: ...
"I feel like my illness is suddenly cured, Teacher Zephyr!! I can walk again!"
Seeing that Zephyr was about to fire, Kake hurriedly spoke and then walked to the center of the school ground with trembling legs. Well, one step at a time and three steps back.
Zephyr shook his head with black lines on his head. In fact, you can admit defeat in a duel; this is also part of the rules. But Kake, this brat, has a too naughty personality, and as a teacher, I must guide him on the right path. He needs more training.
Well, of course, Zephyr would never admit that he also wanted to see Kake being beaten violently. He deserves a beating so much.
"D-Darren, are you ready?"
Kake walked to the school ground, with a distance of more than ten meters from Darren, and tried his best to put on an arrogant attitude. His feet were still shaking.
At this moment—
"Kake, go!! Didn't you just tell me quietly that as long as you take action, you can press Darren to the ground and rub him at any time!? So handsome!!"
Kuzan waved his fists and shouted vigorously, his face shining brightly.
Kake's expression suddenly froze.
Brother, since I told you secretly, you should keep it a secret!! That's bragging!! Do you understand bragging?! Who wants to fight a pervert like Darren?!
He screamed crazily in his heart, looking like he had eaten shit.
"Shut up, Kuzan!!" he couldn't help shouting angrily.
Kuzan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes radiated an even more fiery light. "I understand! You want to keep a low profile, right!? That's so cool! Go ahead!! Knock Darren down!!" He gave a thumbs up. "Didn't you say it from the beginning? You'll wait for us at the top, come on!!"
Seeing Kuzan's excited expression, Kake wished he could just go down and tear this guy's mouth apart. He hurriedly turned to look at Darren, just as he was trying to think of an excuse, "I didn't, he was talking nonsense..."
But when he turned his head, a fist was already rapidly enlarging in the reflection of his eyes.
Boom!!
The sound of fists smashing teeth was followed by the wailing sound of someone being seriously hurt, which could not be ignored. Everyone watching the battle grimaced and felt pain everywhere in their bodies.
Thirty seconds later, the billowing smoke and dust enveloped the entire school grounds, and the ground was devastated with potholes everywhere, which looked shocking. Darren's figure slowly walked out of the dust, feeling comfortable, relaxed, and happy, stretching out with a smile on his face.
Behind him, in an exaggerated deep pit, Kake, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, was lying there, looking at the sky distractedly, his pupils losing focus, and his legs twitching from time to time. Two tattered wooden clogs were stuck upside down in the ground beside him.
A group of naval officers stood there with numb expressions, and the corners of their eyes trembled uncontrollably. Zephyr covered his forehead and sighed.
"Winner, Darren!" He shook his head and revealed the result of this duel. "Next, Gion and Kake will compete for the third seat." He glanced at Kake, who was already lying there motionless, and directly declared Gion's victory. "Given that Kake has lost his ability to fight..."
"Wait." At that moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded weakly. Everyone was stunned and looked at him in surprise. They saw Kake struggling to get up from the deep pit with his body supported, and standing up shakily, revealing half of his front teeth, and said firmly, "I want to fight this one!"
Blood seeped out from the surface of his body and dripped to the ground, looking extremely tragic. Everyone was silent, looking at Kake with admiration gradually filling their eyes.
Kuzan bit his fingers and said with red eyes, "What a decent man!! Even though he was seriously injured, he still kept fighting until the last moment..."
Zephyr also looked at Kake with some surprise. The determination and resilience in the latter's eyes were moving.
"Are you sure? Your injuries..." Although Darren was controlled and focused on his face, this was not something that ordinary people could bear.
Kake nodded heavily and blurted out, "I'm sure, Teacher Zephyr..."
It seemed that I blamed him wrongly. This kid, Kake, is really a talented person... This is an opportunity for me and Gion to have close contact - ah, no, to learn from each other.
"…It's so damn useless!!" Zephyr almost burst into tears on the spot. He waved angrily, "Okay, okay, let's fight."
…
One minute later, Kake was carried on a stretcher with injuries all over his body. After examination by the military doctor, it was found that at least three ribs were broken by Gion. But he just murmured with regret and confusion, "I almost touched Gion's hand..."
Everyone stared at this scene in stunned silence. It was as if their entire worldview had been overturned.
Seeing this scene, Zephyr felt his heart pounding. He couldn't help but take out a cigar and take a long puff.
"Now begins the final show! Kuzan vs. Darren... their duel will determine the position of chief of the training camp!"
