Chapter 80

Chapter 80: You can only do this .

“Teacher Z seems to have taught a good student … And also you are from Mr . Garp’s family . ” Strawberry looked at Roja curiously as he talked with a friendly tone . Roja nodded and smiled friendly at him . Strawberry seems to be one of Z’s student . So Roja was equivalent to his Kohai (Tl: He said Brother here, but I think Kohai would be better no ? this is one piece world and all . ) . Most high-ranking Officers were taught by Z anyway . “You’re better than me … But in this Exam, I won’t go easy so be prepared . ” Strawberry smiled and said to Roja while pulling his sword . “Anytime . ” Roja’s expression was calm as he nodded gently . “It’s good then . ” Strawberry Saw Roja was getting ready, So he no longer talked . He held his two swords after that he used hardening on them which made them turn black . They were shining under the sun . Strawberry waved his swords at Roja . Wouch! Wouch! Two blue sword energies suddenly flew toward Roja . When using a single sword, the strike produced would be stronger than that of when using double swords . But the one created by Strawberry was impressively sharp . In the face of those two strikes, Roja put the Busoshoku on his sword and used hardening . Then he waved . Hum! A silver-white Sword energy flew out . The two strike of Strawberry and that one strike Roja crashed against each other . Roja’s attack was stronger than the other strikes . And when they collided, they made an explosive sound and then collapsed . “Good . ” Strawberry praised Roja . He was facing someone so young yet was so accomplished in his swordsmanship . Praises aside, Strawberry still won’t go easy . Soru! In the next moment, Strawberry rushed toward Roja . Roja used Soru and have gone behind Strawberry . Ding! The two swords collided with Roja’s sword while the two figures stayed still . Sparks flew as the wind was disturbed . Ding! Ding! When the close combat started, there was no time to stop . Strawberry and Roja continued to stagger . Roja was flexible when using his strength, Speed, swordsmanship, and Haki . While Strawberry used his twin swords, which turned into a well-matched fight . Smoker and the others looking at this scene made them go numb . This time Roja’s strength was in full view . Even if he didn’t use his flames, he still could be well matched against a rear admiral . “His Power, Speed, Haki, and Swordsmanship reached this kind of level? Even Strawberry couldn’t beat him . He is a monster . ” Kisaru looked at the field . Although his voice still held that joking tone, in the depth of his word you could find how shocked he was . Strawberry was someone under Kisaru . So Kisaru was clear about Strawberry’s strength . Just now Roja fought against Strawberry, and their strength could be judged as the same . In other words that last exchange was a tie . And that made Kisaru look at the field in awe . Because Kisaru knew that Roja still had that flame ability which he didn’t use yet . That flame power was a threat to even Strawberry . Even if it wasn’t, it could change the balance in this fight . (Tl: Well he still got Getsuga Tensho *sigh* Strawberry is f*cked . ) So you can say … The ninth level opponent was unable to stop Roja . Not only Kisaru, the others beside him also though the same thing . Watching the fight Z revealed a slight smile . This is his current best student, Roja! Garp’s eyes were showing his pride . It’s like they’re saying “This is My nephew, Monkey . D . Roja!” (Tl: Well old man your family had enough monsters for you to be proud already . ) … At the field . Roja and Strawberry battle was fierce . Strawberry strength and Roja’s are almost the same . Swordsmanship and Haki, Strawberry had the advantage over Roja . But regarding speed, Roja was faster . When Roja upgraded his soul sword, A basic agility attribute was added coupled with Roja’s normal speed with Soru, Roja’s speed was comparable to a vice admiral . This was a very intense battle . Roja and Strawberry were flashing continuously on the field . Even though the ground was made from special stone, Cracks still appeared on the surface due to the energy attacks from them . As the fight was getting longer, Strawberry was gaining the upper hand . Even when he was slower than Roja he used his advantage in Haki and strength to dominate the fight . “You’re faster than me but unfortunately, my Haki and swordsmanship are stronger than yours . You can only do this …” Strawberry looked at Roja and could only sigh . Roja was more excellent than he had thought . Originally when he was selected as the opponent in the ninth level, He didn’t think that would get the opportunity to appear . But he didn’t expect that Roja would have such outstanding strength . But now it seems that Roja is a little worse than The current three admirals . (Tl : Keep on dreaming . ) “It seems it’s difficult for him to pass the ninth level…” “His swordsmanship and Haki are very strong, but he won’t be able to defeat Strawberry . ” “The admirals directly passed the ninth level . But reluctantly Roja won’t be able to pass . ” The audience from the headquarters began talking about the fight . But almost when they thought that the match was about to end, Roja sword suddenly started to emit strange power, while Roja’s eyes were flashing . “With this kind of power if I don’t use the soul sword ability then I might not be able to win . That being the case then …” Roja murmured in his heart . He held his sword and looked toward Strawberry while smiling . “Be careful . ” Boom! From Roja’s sword, hot flames started to come out . Sword Flow, Torch! Hearing Roja telling him to be careful, Strawberry didn’t understand his meaning . But when he saw the hot flames coming from all directions, Strawberry was shocked . He didn’t know that Roja had a flame devil fruit . Which caught him a bit by surprise . In front of Roja’s flames, Strawberry didn’t have time to avoid . The flames range was too big . Hula! The flames swept in all directions, and the horrible heat waves swept to the audience while the flames swallowed Strawberry .
