Chapter 348: Battle for the Devil Fruit (5)
The battle for the Swamp Fruit ended, and Zel also took out his second nature-type devil fruit, the Steam Fruit.
What the Devil Fruit users are afraid of is not water, but a substance contained in water, PYROBROIN.
This substance is also found in seastone, so seastone can restrain devil fruit users.
Although the Steam Fruit does not contain this substance, it is still a very powerful devil fruit.
It is very similar to the Smoke Fruit and requires a certain level of development ability, otherwise it can only increase the force-bearing area.
There are two people competing for the Steam Fruit, one is Enyou and the other is Lina.
The strength of the two people can be said to be very close. After fighting for three hours, Anna finally won the final victory.
As night fell, the battle for the Devil Fruits was nearing its end, with only two Devil Fruits left.
Everyone is very powerful, so fighting for several days and nights is not a problem.
About an hour later, Zell pulled out a devil fruit and began the introductions.
"Nature-type - Gas Fruit. The user can generate and control gas, controlling the gas composition of the surrounding environment, and even using the properties of gas to develop some chemical moves..."
Zell's introduction is very detailed, just to maximize the value of the devil fruit.
At the end of Zell's introduction, someone immediately stood up.
The tenth chief of the Royal Academy, Vashu, who possesses the instincts of a beast.
Seeing that Washu was trying to fight for the Gas Fruit, Lawson stopped and tried to stand up.
Everyone can see the strength of Vashu. He is the man who can fight with Andrew for several hours.
Time passed slowly, and just when everyone thought that no one would come out to fight, a young figure walked towards the center of the battlefield.
"Um, Sasaki Kojiro, please give me some advice."
Kojiro placed his left hand on the scabbard, touched his head with his right hand, and gave a shy smile.
Wasiu gave him a meaningful look and replied in a voice that was almost emotionless, "Please give me your guidance."
The two men stood in position, just waiting for Zell's slogan to start the battle.
In the audience, feeling the atmosphere, Dekar asked Cohen beside him, "What is the origin of this Kojiro? Is he very strong?"
To his surprise, Cohen shook his head and said he didn't understand either.
But this is normal. This is Kojiro's first time to visit Sky Island. He has been in Wano Country before.
Not only that, he has been training with Artest and Ohm with almost no exposure.
If it weren't for Hassan and Artest's recommendation, Zell wouldn't even know such a person existed.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Rorschach spoke up.
"This guy is very strong, and his knife is very dangerous."
With just one sentence, everyone realized how powerful Kojiro was.
You know, Rorschach is also a great swordsman and has a strong say in swordsmanship.
In recent years, he has not only been developing the power of the devil fruit, but also practicing swordsmanship.
With Zel's guidance and his own outstanding talent, and after a battle with the Golden Lion, Rorschach completely integrated the devil fruit ability with swordsmanship.
The line between a swordsman and a great swordsman is vague, but a truly strong person can feel the difference.
For example, Yixiao is not actually a great swordsman, but Kalina and Rorschach are.
With Rorschach's emphasis, everyone began to look forward to the battle between the two.
With Zel's order, the battle is about to begin!
Washu was like a swooping hawk, so fast that an afterimage appeared.
The fingers covered in armament color make claw gestures, which can easily pierce the enemy's chest.
On the other hand, Kojiro hadn't even unsheathed the sword at his waist when facing Washu who was already very close to him.
But just when everyone thought Kojiro was going to lose, an accident happened.
His originally shy expression changed, and Kojiro's eyes became firm, as if he was holding a wild beast captive.
"Sword Drawing Technique: Swallow Return!"
Kojiro's body tilted slightly, like a dancing swallow. The sharp blade was unsheathed, and the blade made a sound of breaking through the air, leaving a cold light in the air.
Washu's pupils contracted violently, his beast-like instinct told him that he had to hide, but his body told him that it was too late.
Washu's eyes quickly dimmed, like a falling dead leaf, his body became weak and he knelt on the ground.
This unexpected scene immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience. It was a one-hit kill, and this was the fastest-ending battle in this competition.
You have to know that they are all well-trained strong men, and their armament Haki and observation Haki are not weak. Even if there is a huge gap in strength, they will not be killed instantly.
Not to mention that the one who was killed instantly was Vashu. His strongest point was his beast-like instinct and agility.
Just as everyone was shocked, a loud roar spread.
"Well done, Kojiro!"
Andrew put one foot on the railing and cheered for his friend's victory.
As if it felt that its figure was not big enough, it transformed directly into a human-beast form, and its three heads exerted force together.
Kojiro sheathed his sword and bowed modestly to the people around him.
Everyone was brought back to their senses by Andrew's shout, and they looked at Kojiro as if he were a monster.
This humble look must be an illusion, yes, it must be an illusion.
It was at this moment that Zel appeared beside Kojiro and handed him the devil fruit.
"Take it, you deserve it."
Kojiro excitedly accepted the Devil Fruit and bowed to Zel, "Thank you, Master Zel!"
Zel smiled slightly, picked up Washu from the ground and left.
About an hour later, the fight for the last devil fruit began.
Washu's injuries were not actually very serious and he recovered quickly.
If it was Andrew instead of Vash who came on the field, although he would not be able to dodge Kojiro's knife, it would not be difficult for him to withstand it.
If he could withstand this blow, Washuo actually had a great chance of winning, but he underestimated his enemy after all.
Even a lion uses all its strength to fight a rabbit, let alone Kojiro is not a rabbit.
………………
"Nature-type - Cloud-Cloud Fruit, can transform into clouds and create various weather conditions, such as heavy rain, thunder and lightning, snow, and hail. If the user has extensive knowledge of meteorology, then the Cloud-Cloud Fruit is a well-deserved natural disaster fruit."
After the introduction of the Yunyun Fruit, surprisingly, no one chose it.
After about a minute, seeing that no one really chose it, Zel took it back.
In fact, Zel was not surprised that the Cloud-Cloud Fruit was not selected. After all, this devil fruit is very dependent on meteorological knowledge.
If someone who has no knowledge of meteorology eats this devil fruit, it might be worse than eating the smoke fruit.
The key point is that the Royal Academy does not teach meteorological knowledge, and everyone is self-aware and knows that this devil fruit cannot be wasted.
At this point, the Devil Fruit competition came to an end.
