Both Kane and Lily sits down after washing hands while Wills says " I had to take this job so as to not deeply involve with Campbells."
To which Kane while his hand touches Wills and says "ok with all this, you want see how strong we are right, then Lily will fight with you in the place you chose at your strongest state."
Although Wills was shocked to see Kane tell what he was thinking in his mind , replies " you are the one said it don't regret it if you lose."
To which Lily just chuckles and says "if you can."
Then Wills watch in amazement as both devour the food in style and no change in their body shapes and begin to wonder where all the food went. Seeing that both eating so fast, he also quickly eats his order.
After Sumptuous lunch came bill which is $1million Bailey which made Kane twitch his mouth but gritting his teeth, he paid the bill. While also thinking looks at Lily, who also looks at him and both smile as they understood the plan of action after the fight.
Which makes both look at Wills in determination.
Wills who had been looked at him speechless leads the way to fight while also carries big box size of human with him. After, almost an hour of walking, trio comes to deserted place which is at centre of forest.
Wills then opens human sized box which contains full body armour, large fine blade and specially made pistol which seem to be able to fire rapidly. Lily lips twitchs seeing full body armour then her began to shine with resolve While Kane looks Pistol in surprise as according to anime, there should only be flintlock revolvers. So, Kane asked Wills " why is gun looks different from normal?"
Wills looks smug and then angry says " I specially modified the flintlock bullets to magazine as it takes too much time to reload but 2 guns were taken away by head of association when he saw them in my hand but thankfully I hid one in my tavern."
Lily looks eager to cut steel Armor ans says "ok put your turtle shell and get ready to fight." Then Wills quickly puts on full body armour and holds large blade in left hand while pistol in right hand and says 'Ready'.
Lily charges straight towards Wills and quickly closes distance between them amidst two bullets by easily dodging them which were fired by Wills and then attacks with two swords vertically from either sides which were barely blocked by Wills using the large blade in left hand. This makes Wills stumble back couple of steps due to Lily's stronger power, Wills fires a bullet at her when he was stumbling backwards to which Lily uses _SHAVE_ which appears to Wills as if she had disappeared and appeared at a distance to his left. Although shocked, Wills quickly responds by turning towards her and firing two shots when he sees Lily charging at him which were easily dodged by Lily. Now Lily attacks with two swords which makes him block with blade in left hand while also discarding empty mag with right hand and then moves the gun to new mag in left forehand. During which Lily appears at his back and slashes with two swords horizontally on either sides of back at his waist which leads to rattling sound and shallow cuts on his Armor as seems to be expected by Wills and Lily. By the time Wills finished reloading magand turns to face her, Lily uses _SHAVE_ and appears at distance at this time which was clearly observed by Wills this time and concluded and says " it seems you can move some distance in short bursts of speed but it seem to consume more stamina." To which Lily neither admits nor denies.
In silence, all think about other capabilities.
Wills thinks in mind "The only advantage I have is my armor and gun which makes her use those short burst movement. So,only way to win is to make her use those burst movements and consume her stamina before my armor lasts or runs out of bullets."
While, Lily thinks "This is a good opportunity to practice and understand 'Breath of all things' by feeling and trying to cut the steel armor in this fight."
On the side, Kane looks at Wills in surprise as he was not sending flying by Lily. Then thinks "Wills body seemed to have almost reached the threshold of 'Superhuman' which is rare in four seas. He also has genius brain in both analysis and research while also has good aptitude as he was almost able to become Superhuman by himself. We can make him subordinate when required in the future by subduing him and showing way to become stronger now."
Both resumes the fight and the fight becomes more fierce and Wills armor is full of shallow cuts and he is also breathing laboriously while Lily seems to be only slightly tired which makes Wills look at Lily in amazement as the she is almost using those short burst movements for almost half an hour. Then he looks at his Armor which seems to contain last two mags and reloads new mag to fight.
While Lily seem to be in different state "thinking it seems now I can feel breath of Armor i.e breath of all things and slashes at falling leaf which makes leaf slide through the sharp knife." Then she says "Thank you but get ready to end the fight." Wills seem to feel something and changes pistol fire all 5 bullets continuosly and fires at Lily who seem to dodge them with ease as if every body part has its senses.
Lilly slashes this time with one sword towards his blade and other at his body of which Wills looks shocked as blade was cut through by Lily and other sword cuts through Armor completely and leaves open front side which causes upper Armor to fall off but her sword continues to slash at his body but was unable to cut through which makes him bewildered but recovers and says "fight is not over yet." and drops gun in his right hand and punches at her but Lily who sheathed both swords by this time looks irritatedly at him and easily catches his punch with her left palm and then says _IRON_ and punches on his head with her right hand which causes him to fall on his back and unable to get up.
Kane who walks near to them and looks praisingly at Lily and says "it seems you were able 'cut through steel and also not cut through him' with sword which means you were able to understand 'Breath of all things' and with your will passed to sword to cut through what you want to cut and at the same time not cut what you donot want to cut, which was only understood by handful swordsman". So, "Congratulations."
This explanation made Wills understand why see was irritated when I said fight is not over and punches at her.
Lily who was praised by Kane nods at him with red face containing happiness. While also remembering Kane seemed to have understood it more than half a year ago.
Kane stretches his hand to Wills and asks " Are you fine?"
Wills takes Kane's hand and replies "I am fine except for exhausted and full body aches particularly stinging pain in my head".
Then he looks at Lily and apologises by saying "Sorry, I didn't know why you were not able cut through me at that time". To which Lily just accepts and nods at him.
Kane then placed his hand on Wills shoulder and asks "Did you experience the tip of strength of strong?"
Wills shocked and says "Is this only tip of strength of strong?" and then eagerly asks "How was she able to predict my bullets and also her body moving on its own to dodge bullets then her short bursts of speed and making her first as hard as iron and finally cutting through my armor". "These all cannot be obtained just by eating Devilfruit as no devil can give so many abilities. So it must be techniques that can be learned right?"
To which Lily just looks at him and says "Why should we tell you about these things?" Which makes Wills sullen and then he looks at them seriously thinking and finally says looking at Kane at side "I will listen to what you say i.e I am willing to submit to you and acknowledge you as my boss and follow you.
When Wills was speaking Kane puts his hand on his shoulder and uses his born ability to deeply sense his thoughts.
