I've Already Become An Admiral And Now The System Shows Up?

Sakazuki used Observation Haki to predict, and his long blade, reinforced with Armament Haki, precisely struck the path of the light beam that Borsalino had transformed into.

Bang!

The light beam was forcibly cut apart, scattering into countless points of light that flew everywhere, before re-coalescing into Borsalino's form in the distant sky.

"Oh, my! You're serious!"

Borsalino touched the wound on his forehead, a look of astonishment on his face.

After all this time, it turned out his opponent wasn't sparring, he was genuinely fighting.

"In that case, I'll get serious too."

Borsalino shed his playful demeanor, his expression gradually turning cold.

Swish!

The next moment, he raised his hand and continuously fired laser beams into the air.

Beams of light rained down densely, while Sakazuki below had already moved ahead of time, sprinting at high speed towards Borsalino, using Observation Haki along the way to dodge one laser beam after another.

Finally, he pushed off with both feet, leaping into the air. Facing the unavoidable laser beams ahead, he swung his long blade, carving visible sharp traces in the air, and a slash instantly formed.

Boom!

The slash struck the light beam, and endless light exploded in the air.

"Hmm?"

Borsalino stared at the light explosion in front of him, the intense light also obscured his vision.

However, the next moment, a long blade sliced through the light, striking Borsalino with lightning speed.

In the nick of time, Borsalino only managed to gather half of his light sword before he was fiercely struck down to the ground.

Rumble!

Borsalino's entire body transformed into a ball of light, exploding at the center of the battlefield, leaving behind a deep crater.

Sakazuki landed from the air and didn't rush to pursue, temporarily stopping in place to observe.

Just then, outside the battlefield, Kenji's voice suddenly rang out.

"That's enough, both of you return to your teams."

Hearing this, Sakazuki and Borsalino, who had just emerged from the deep crater, both turned to look, their gazes unfriendly.

But when they both saw that it was Kenji speaking, they naturally turned back.

The battle a few months ago had left a deep impression on these two 'monster' cadets.

Kenji didn't even look at their reactions. After stopping the battle, he got up and walked towards Zephyr, who was leisurely watching the battle from outside the arena.

The reason for interrupting the battle was that Kenji had already roughly understood the strength of the two through observation.

He was there to observe their actual combat power, and having achieved his goal, he naturally didn't want to waste any more time.

"Sakazuki's current strength is sufficient to deal with those pirates from East Blue who want to enter the Grand Line." Kenji silently made his primary assessment.

In fact, as a Glint-Glint Fruit user, Borsalino would undoubtedly be much more efficient than the non-devil fruit user Sakazuki in handling those East Blue pirates.

It's just a pity that Borsalino isn't efficient enough.

With his personality, he could almost compete with Kenji for the 'Slacker Master' achievement.

There's a thing called 'Slacking Incompatibility Principle'. If you're slacking, how can I slack?

At this moment, Kenji arrived in front of Zephyr.

Zephyr asked, "How was it? Have you decided who to choose?"

"Yes, him." Kenji turned and raised his hand, pointing at Sakazuki.

Zephyr's face showed a 'just as I expected' smile.

"However, before that..." Kenji suddenly rolled up his sleeves, stretched his arms, and smiled, "I've made some progress recently and want to test it out..."

He wasn't exaggerating this time. Back at Impel Down, he made Sanjuan Wolf cry with just one punch, so he didn't get to test the upper limit of his physical combat skills at all.

It's rare to have a former Admiral in front of him, so he naturally felt a bit of an itch to fight.

On the opposite side, Zephyr looked at Kenji's serious expression, knowing that the other party wasn't joking, and couldn't help but be greatly astonished.

"It's been a while, how did you get so..." Saying this, Zephyr suddenly remembered some recent rumors about Kenji.

Things like defeating 'World Destroyer' Byrnndi, or single-handedly repelling the Legendary Pirate Roger Pirates...

Now it seems these rumors might have some truth to them?

"Haha, that's fine too." Zephyr raised his hand and clenched his fist, his fighting spirit soaring.

"I also want to see what kind of power a person who can repel Roger possesses!"

As he spoke, Zephyr's hands were enveloped in Haki, Armament Haki extending to his wrists.

On the opposite side, Kenji also released Armament Haki, while a strong aura erupted from his body. It wasn't Conqueror's Haki, but rather the airflow caused by the massive release of Armament Haki.

Around his clenched right fist, traces of Armament Haki swirled, drawing invisible air currents to rotate around his body.

In contrast, Zephyr's side was more 'unadorned,' not causing much environmental change, just simple Armament Haki reinforcement, but anyone could see the power of his Armament Haki-enhanced fist.

No wasted words, no techniques.

After building up their momentum, both stood up and threw punches, both choosing to face each other head-on.r

Buzz!

Heavy punches collided, and traces of Armament Haki dispersed, while an intense light erupted, instantly engulfing the entire training ground.

The elite cadets, though far from the battlefield, were still momentarily deprived of sound by the powerful air currents and shockwaves.

It wasn't until the light diminished that the 'rumbling' roar finally reached their ears.

The cadets watching opened their eyes wide, staring at the two figures engaging in close-quarters combat at the center of the battlefield, their hearts filled with shock and fear.

The instinct for survival made them subconsciously want to distance themselves from those two extremely dangerous figures, but intense curiosity and the excitement of the battle held them firmly, fixing the group in place.

Fear and passion, two emotions pulling at their limits, made these elite cadets, who were about to officially join the Marine, tremble with excitement.

"This kind of battle... is what I aspire!"

The cadets' eyes gleamed as they watched, clenching their fists, their necks bulging with veins from excitement.

Within the battlefield, Kenji and Zephyr's figures flickered, moving too fast to be seen with the naked eye.

Every second, punches collided more than ten times, and each impact generated a wave of strong winds and air currents.

No techniques, just fist against flesh, a direct confrontation. It made the spectators' hearts surge.

They just felt: Battle! Awesome!

Fortunately, Garp wasn't present, or he wouldn't have been able to resist joining in.

Boom!

Kenji punched again, his left arm retracting, his right leg lifting to block Zephyr's uppercut.

"Eh? You brat?" The sudden change made Kenji somewhat astonished.

We agreed on a head-on clash, why are you using techniques now?

"In that case... perfect, I'll also test the power of that move."

Kenji's legs suddenly pushed off, his body rapidly retreating, while his right fist retracted to build momentum, a large area of Armament Haki traces appearing around his fist.

"Oh, it's that move!"

Zephyr clearly knew what Kenji was about to do and quickly tensed his arms, preparing to unleash his strongest move.

The next moment, Kenji smashed his heavy punch, and a terrifying energy wave bloomed with light like the sun.

"Titan Impact!"
