Chapter 133: Shiro VS Aramaki, the Final Battle Begins

Boom Boom—

Thunder vs. Gravity!

The mighty meteorite was smashed into pieces by thunder!

At this moment, the audience was shocked once again because Shiro had told Enel that in the final battle, he could use his Thunder abilities freely, releasing them without restriction!

And this made Enel completely let go.

Facing the falling meteorite, raising his hand, he unleashed a thunder dragon with hundreds of millions of volts!

"How is the ability of the Thunder Devil Fruit possible? How can so many Thunder Devil Fruit users suddenly appear in such a short time!?"

At this time, whether it was Sengoku the Buddha or Akainu, who had become the Fleet Admiral, they both had the same question in their hearts.

At the same time, they also began to doubt Enel's true identity.

Although he seemed like someone they'd never seen before, Shiro's methods were truly terrifying.

After the Marineford War, aside from Shiro, the information available suggested that there were two other known Thunder-type Devil Fruit users in the Central Authority.

One of them was incredibly powerful, fighting Admiral Kizaru for an extended period before being defeated due to a "weakness."

However, in the end, Shiro was substituted for the Celestial Dragon.

Now, the battle between Enel and Issho (Fujitora) in the arena was shaking the audience, raising the question: could these people be related to the Central Authority, or even Shiro!?

Of course, doubts were just doubts for now.

Without solid evidence, neither Akainu nor Sengoku could interfere in the Admiral selection battle!

And being top-tier powerhouses themselves, they could naturally see through the situation.

Although Enel had a terrifying Thunder ability, he was still lacking in physical strength, skills, and mastery of Haki.

In the confined combat environment of the arena, he would only lose quicker!

Thus, neither Akainu nor Sengoku were too concerned.

As long as Enel wasn't allowed to become an Admiral, even if he was tied to Central Authority, his influence would be minimal.

"Yo~ what a terrifying thunder!"

At this moment, Borsalino muttered in his usual laid-back tone while overseeing the final battle.

In fact, he felt some familiarity with Enel's Thunder attacks, but he didn't care too much.

Days like this, between patrols and field supervision, were dull tasks!

And to top it off, there was no extra pay or overtime for him!

What a headache. Were they using him as free labor?

"It really surprised this old man!" Issho remarked during the fight.

Although his opponent might be weaker in terms of raw strength, Enel's Thunder abilities were exceptional.

If it weren't for the limitations of the arena, Issho wasn't sure he could even keep up with his opponent.

Enel could easily be considered one of the top powerhouses on the seas.

Even if Issho didn't know much about the Navy, he was certain that no Vice Admiral, aside from the legendary Garp, could stand against this formidable opponent!

And now, Issho began to believe that the newly established Central Authority had been secretly amassing powerful forces, ready to shock the world one day.

At this moment, Shiro observed everything happening in the ring.

He could feel it.

Enel's powerful performance had visibly shaken Issho's resolve.

Although it wasn't enough to make him abandon the Navy for Central Authority just yet, it was a good start.

Shiro had plenty of methods to further strengthen Issho's doubts!

Meanwhile, as Enel and Issho faced off, Hancock and Robin had discreetly set everything in motion according to the plan.

Dozens of video Den Den Mushi had been hidden in the dark.

They just had to wait for the right moment to disrupt the World Military Draftn in one fell swoop!

Rumble—

Thunder continued to roar.

Maybe it was for his name on the wanted list after receiving a bounty, but Enel seemed to revel in the display of his Thunder abilities, unleashing one spectacular attack after another.

The entire island was illuminated by the cold light of thunder.

Tens of thousands of Marines stood in awe of Enel's brilliance, completely captivated!

In the end, Enel was defeated.

But in terms of popularity, Enel was no less than Issho.

The cheers and voices of support for Enel grew louder and louder.

Issho could only shake his head helplessly.

If the Marines knew that the Thunder they admired belonged to Central Authority, their expressions would be priceless.

It would be quite the scene!

"Young man, this old man looks forward to your next battle. Regardless of the outcome, please tell me your real name once the battle is over!"

After the battle ended, Issho approached Shiro with a smile and said.

Although Shiro was someone he had never heard of before, Issho couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Shiro than met the eye.

This young man, who had shaken him to his core, likely possessed even more strength than Enel, the Thunder wielder.

Considering his age, such a powerhouse at such a young age was terrifying!

"I won't disappoint you, Senior Fujitora," Shiro responded with a smile.

Before the two could exchange more words, a sharp voice broke the atmosphere.

"Enough of this mutual admiration nonsense! Anyway, after this fight, one of you may not survive!" a gruff voice interjected.

Fujitora turned to look coldly at the source of the voice, slightly wary.

Shiro's next opponent, Aramaki, a tall man with sunglasses, strode towards him, completely ignoring Fujitora.

"Give up now. I don't even have an appetite, let alone the patience to fight a kid like you," Aramaki grumbled in an annoyed tone.

Shiro knew all too well about Aramaki a loyal follower of Akainu and an advocate of Absolute Justice.

So, Shiro didn't hold back his insults.

If Aramaki wanted to be a lapdog for the Celestial Dragons, Shiro had no use for him.

Aramaki smirked darkly, "Kid, you're full of yourself! Aren't you afraid of death?"

The decisive battle was about to begin, but Aramaki held back his rage, determined to teach this cocky youngster a lesson.

"Next, the Admiral selection final battle! The winner will be promoted alongside Fujitora to Admiral!" Sengoku the Buddha announced.

The final battle had begun!
