Chapter 78

The red Conqueror's Haki flowed on Carl's fist, and Dragon also subconsciously burst out his own Conqueror's Haki.

The two Conqueror's Haki collided with each other, sparking several red and black lightnings. Fortunately, the people around were not mediocre, so except for a few students who felt dizzy, no one fainted directly on the ground.

But this once again shocked the Marines who recognized the Conqueror's Haki. After all, Conqueror's Haki is different from Armament Haki and Observation Haki. It is an absolute talent. If you don't have it, you don't have it. No matter how you practice, it's useless.

And having it is one thing, and awakening it is another.

People who awaken Conqueror's Haki are destined not to be mediocre. If they are placed on the sea, they will definitely be strong people who suppress one side. It is extremely rare to awaken Conqueror's Haki in the Navy, so in the eyes of these senior Naval officers, a Navy member who awakened Conqueror's Haki is even rarer than the natural ability users.

On the field, Dragon's face was already sweating profusely, while Carl looked calm. He said lightly,

"Is this all you have?"

Hearing this, Dragon roared like crazy, wanting to boost his momentum in this way.

He could accept losing to Carl in strength, but he could not accept losing to Carl in spirit, because it meant that his firm belief was completely shattered by Carl.

But he obviously had not practiced his Conqueror's Haki systematically, and he could only "release" it to a certain extent. He could not enhance the strength of his Conqueror's Haki by just roaring.

Carl, on the other hand, had practiced seriously under Garling in Conqueror's Haki. Having mastered the power of control, his command over this power was far beyond Dragon's reach.

Carl admired Dragon's helpless and furious look for a while, then his eyes fixed, and the Conqueror's Haki on his right fist instantly gathered, turning into a sword-shaped shock wave that penetrated Dragon's body.

Dragon was shocked, and his eyes gradually turned white. Under the gaze of everyone, he knelt down in front of Carl with a plop, and muttered with his remaining consciousness,

"For... why?"

Carl did not offer his help like he did to Aokiji and Aramaki before, but turned and left, leaving only one sentence.

"My spirit is above yours!"

This sentence was the last straw that broke Dragon. He completely lost consciousness and lowered his head heavily.

Swish!

A figure passed by Carl and rushed to Dragon's side, helping him up.

At this moment, the only one who could come to care about Dragon was his biological father, Garp.

Garp shook Dragon's body vigorously, but Dragon showed no sign of waking up. In a hurry, Garp raised his hand and slapped him in the face. With a loud "pop," Dragon woke up from his coma.

After waking up, he didn't care about the burning feeling on his side face, and muttered like a demon,

"I lost, totally lost…."

Looking at the distraught Dragon, Garp sighed silently.

With his personality, he certainly wouldn't have the idea of going to settle accounts with Carl. He watched this battle from beginning to end. Carl completely defeated Dragon head-on.

As for Carl's attitude towards Dragon, it was understandable. Zephyr had just told him that it was Dragon who verbally offended Carl first, and it was Dragon who took the initiative to provoke the fight. In short, he asked for it. Even without these, Carl's impression of Dragon would not be good.

His identity destined him to be on the opposite side of Dragon from the beginning. If there weren't so many people around, Dragon's defeat would not be as simple as fainting…

Carl walked into the crowd with a relaxed look on his face and joined the classmates who came to cheer him on.

Ginny threw herself into Carl's arms, excitedly describing to him how handsome he had just performed. Lucia stood quietly aside, gently looking at Carl's profile. Akainu gave a thumbs up, and Borsalino said with a unique smile on his face,

"It's you, Carl, well done!"

Kuma raised his hand and looked at Carl, saying,

"Brother, let me help you relax."

Carl waved his hand and said with a smile,

"No need, it was just checking the newcomer's strength, it didn't take much effort."

This calm look made the comrades around him ashamed, especially those who had doubted Carl's strength before.

Some Vice Admiral-level sailors asked themselves, if they were to face the three logia users, it would be a question of whether they could win, not to mention winning as easily as Carl.

After witnessing Carl's battle, no one would think that Carl's military exploits were exaggerated. His rank of Rear Admiral was absolutely well-deserved. Even based on his strength, it would not be too much to give him a Vice Admiral.

Zephyr was also very satisfied with Carl's performance. In terms of fruit ability, Haki, swordsmanship, and physical skills, he did not see any shortcomings in Carl. He could be said to be the perfect student template in his mind.

Thinking of this, Zephyr couldn't help but glance at Borsalino. Borsalino seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to meet Zephyr's gaze but immediately looked away as if avoiding the plague, secretly saying,

"I am really impressed. The old man's eyes must be trying to lecture me again. How did I offend him?"

Aokiji trotted over and looked at Carl with admiration, saying,

"Carl, what was that move you just made? It looks cool! Does our academy also teach this?"

When this was said, Zephyr next to him looked embarrassed. As the chief instructor of the Naval Academy, he said that he didn't know this move either, and he would never be able to learn it in this lifetime.

Carl also knew that Aokiji didn't have the qualifications for Conqueror's Haki.

"That is Conqueror's Haki, you can't learn it yet. When you awaken Conqueror's Haki one day, I will teach you how to use it."

When Aokiji heard it, he immediately said excitedly that he would work hard.

It must be said that Aokiji at this age is really easy to fool. He is completely a middle school boy. No wonder he thought that Garp refused to be promoted to the position of Admiral.

Carl has made up his mind that he must train Aokiji well… No, teach him anyway, he must not let Garp lead him astray again.

The entire Navy has been regarded as his own power by Carl, and he wants to deeply imprint his will on the Navy, and finally make the Navy, this huge war machine, completely obey him.
