Chapter 83

Carl slowly raised his hand, and a mini tornado emerged from his palm. Aramaki sneered, and all his ten fingers turned into tentacle-like vines.

Seeing this, the newcomers on the field all moved closer to where Carl was. When they got closer, they found that their seniors had already stood here.

There was no way Carl, Borsalino, Akainu, and others could give people a strong sense of security just by standing here.

With these people around, they just watched the show with peace of mind. After all, the battle scenes of the Logia types were still very shocking.

With the big shots around, the students began to relax and talk.

"Hey, isn't that Dragon? I haven't seen him since school started."

"He's recovering from his injuries. Didn't you see how badly he was beaten up by Carl that day?"

"It's because he's got a bad mouth. I heard it all on the day he joined the Navy. He came up and started giving instructions to Carl like a fool."

"After all, he is a Logia user and the son of Vice Admiral Garp, so of course he is different from us!"

"Tsk! What's so great about that? Carl is also a Logia-type. Wow, he defeated three Logia ability users at once. He is worthy of being my idol!"

"Yes, look at how calm Carl is, my god! I really admire him so much!"

"Okay, wipe your saliva. Why are you, a man, so obsessed with such things?"

"..."

As the user of the Wind-Wind Fruit, Dragon was extremely perceptive. The students' discussions were carried to his ears by the wind, making his face even uglier.

Aramaki had actually been observing Carl's movements. After confirming that Carl had no intention of coming out to stop him, he picked his nose and flicked a black booger at Dragon. The booger passed through Dragon's body and landed on the ground at his feet. Although he didn't touch him, Dragon still showed disgust on his face and said,

"You are so disgusting!"

He suddenly threw the tornado in his hand towards Aramaki, and Aramaki grew a dandelion behind him and flew away with the wind.

Dragon wanted to chase him, but the ground under his feet suddenly cracked, and a huge man-eating plant opened its mouth, revealing a row of black teeth. Dragon's face changed,

"What?! It's from just now..."

Poof!

The Piranha Plant suddenly closed and swallowed Dragon whole. Aramaki in the sky laughed when he saw this.

"How is it? How does it feel to have a booger in your mouth?"

As a Woods-Woods Fruit user, the booger he just took out could naturally turn into seeds, and it was a seed wrapped with Armament Haki.

"You bastard!!"

Dragon cursed from the mouth of the Piranha Plant, and then the Piranha Plant exploded. A hurricane rushed up into the sky, and several wind blades burst out from it. Aramaki's body was instantly cut into several pieces.

However, soon, dense branches emerged from the pieces of his body and quickly connected together. Aramaki hugged his arms and sneered,

"This trick is useless to me. The element of wind has no substance, and with your attainments in Armament Haki, you can't attach it to the invisible wind."

Dragon said with a cold face,

"So what?"

"Haha, try this, Forest Snake Strangling!"

Aramaki spread his arms, transforming them into two thick tree trunks, from which a large number of wooden thorns gushed out, and each thorn tip was shining with a dark luster.

Then, all the wooden thorns grew wildly and rushed towards Dragon in the center from all directions.

The attack range of this move was too large, and they all carried Armament Haki, which directly blocked Dragon's retreat.

Dragon's eyes condensed, and the airflow around his body gathered, forming a spherical shield of wind.

"Wind Barrier!"

The wooden thorns that flew over were shredded into pieces by the violent wind the moment they touched, but there were too many of them, and soon the barrier began to flicker, finally dissipating completely with a puff.

Fortunately, Aramaki's attack had also reached the point, and Dragon shouted, releasing a spiral hurricane, which crushed the remaining wooden thorns and broke away, rushing towards Aramaki on the opposite side.

Aramaki raised a pair of thick eyebrows, entered the tree-man state, and tangled with Dragon, who was rushing over.

He was once a member of CP, so he was naturally not weak in physical skills, but Dragon had received one-on-one guidance from Garp. At the beginning, the two of them fought back and forth, but as time went on, Aramaki's side had clearly shown a decline.

In the close state, Dragon could use a domineering physical attack, and it also had the cutting attribute of wind.

On the other hand, Aramaki suffered a little. After the distance was shortened, his fruit could only grow vines or thorns to harass, but plants without added Haki could be easily crushed by Dragon's wind.

Aramaki's Armament Haki was not at the level where he could use it casually, but Dragon still caught a flaw and knocked him down from the air with a dragon claw.

With a bang, Aramaki's body fell to the ground and made a big hole. Dragon followed closely, raised his hands, condensed a spherical wind ball, and threw it into the hole where Aramaki was.

The wind ball exploded in the pit, and a strong air storm broke out, crushing everything underground.

A seed floated out of the pit and immediately began to grow after falling to the ground. A large number of vines were woven together and condensed into Aramaki's body again. Aramaki didn't look very good. He lay on the ground gasping for breath. Aokiji in the distance saw this and shouted,

"Aramaki, stop fighting! You will get hurt if you keep fighting!"

Aramaki raised his eyebrows and habitually wanted to say something to Aokiji, but when he turned around and saw Aokiji with a worried look on his face, he was stunned for a moment. He stood up and muttered,

"Tsk! Who wants you, a fool, to meddle in other people's business?"

As he said this, he looked up at Dragon slowly descending from the sky and said to himself,

"I can't let a fool like you look down on me!"

Aramaki directly entered the giant tree-man form, carrying a sea of trees and rushing toward the landed Dragon. Dragon brought a hurricane and collided with Aramaki.

In fact, the difference in strength between the two was not too big, especially on the ground, where Aramaki's advantage came up, and Dragon had much more difficulty dealing with him than in the sky.

So it was impossible for Dragon to defeat Aramaki in a short time. During this period, Aramaki kept attacking Dragon with his mouth. Dragon had a gloomy face and did not talk back because he was confident that he could win. The more Aramaki said, the more miserable he would lose.

After the two of them blasted for a long time, Aramaki could no longer hold on, and the body of the giant tree-man collapsed immediately.

Seeing this, Dragon, who was in a better state than him, couldn't help but show a winner's smile on his face and used his ultimate move, the dragon hook claw, to grab Aramaki.

At this time, Aramaki had reached his limit. Once this move hit, it meant the end of the battle.

Just when Dragon was about to enjoy the joy of victory, a dark vortex emerged from his side, and Carl finally made a move.

With a snap, Dragon's wrist was tightly grasped by Carl, and Carl's light voice came to his ears with sweat all over his head,

"Okay, let's stop here."
