Chapter 14 Defeat?
Shuzo, who performed alone, noticed the attack from behind from his shadow displacement, and looked back dumbfounded and immediately expressed his feeling in one word “Fuck!!!”
Thunder Arrow Rain fell from the sky and it covered almost half of the test field in it’s range!
Shuzo didn’t want to let himself bear the humiliation of Instructor beaten by a fresh Recruit, even if that Recruit has eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
He utilized his Observation Haki and his feet moved quickly and his figure began to dance like a butterfly under the Thunder Arrow Rain. Though he was strong as an Ox, he moved with a grace that shouldn’t have been possible for a man of his size.
Boom, Boom, Boom!
The Thunder Arrow Rain landed, and the dense drum-like sound sounded in the area!
The seemingly intensive attack with extensive coverage did not cause any trace of damage to Shuzo, which is the horror of Observation Haki! Waiting for the Thunder to disperse completely, Shuzo found himself standing on the sand and stone field which has now become a field of charred pits, Shuzo gasped and black lines appeared on his forehead.
“This devil kid!”
He had thought that it would be over after his Sneak attack, but unexpectedly, Rowen had caused him a lot of trouble after avoiding his attack. As an Instructor, is there any reason for him to not be angry?
It’s admirable as this is what supposed to happen in the battle!
Now it’s all about the fight!
“Don’t think that you’ll remain safe while hiding in the Underground! I am more familiar with the terrain!”
Shuzo snorted and looked left and right, he immediately found an entrance to the Underground tunnel and immediately ran over and raised his fist.
Boom!
The fragile soil layer was easily smashed away by him with a punch and Shuzo jumped forward and fell into the steel tunnel. Suddenly, he noticed a flash of light at the corner of his vision and he immediately sneered, “Caught you … I will stop you now!”
With those words, Shuzo used Marine Rokushiki techniques and quickly followed the light.
The Underground Tunnels are made of metal and is blocked on all sides, leaving only gaps in different areas for people to enter and exit. In addition, the soil used for camouflage outside has a strong barrier like property to it. Except for Lightning’s constitution, Rowen can perceive the general situation through the electric waves, but ordinary Observation Haki cannot penetrate through the soil.
In the stands, Kizaru and Trane lost the sights of these two people.
Rowen’s performance was unexpected and brilliant! As a recruit, he caused Commodore Shuzo to suffer a small loss which us first for him as this has never happened before!
But as Trane said, the power gap between the two sides is like Heaven and Earth. Rowen’s defeat is inevitable and it’s only a matter of time…
Kizaru asked. “Say… How long do you think that Rowen would be able to resist?”
“Uh, this one! At most a minute or two …”
Trane thought about it and speculated: “Rowen’s Thunder attack can’t cause effective damage to Commodore Shuzo, and he consumes a lot of Stamina every time he uses this attack. If Rowen went on the offensive, Commodore Shuzo can easily seize the opportunity to bring him down.
This is a fact, even if Rowen is known as the “Strongest Chore Boy”, leaving a strange legend on the Garp ship, Rowen’s thunder intensity is also there.
But
Shuzo’s strength surpasses him, Shuzo’s strength is similar to that of a Headquarters Vice-Admiral. However, in recent years, he was in charge of the Recruit Camp, and his Military Merits were not enough for him to stay in the position of a Vice-Admiral. Momonga has become the representative of Headquarters as it’s new Vice-Admiral, and Shuzo, who is regarded by Zephyr as his right-hand man, must not be far behind him in terms of strength.
As long as he covered his body with Armament Haki, Rowen wouldn’t be able to hurt Shuzo at all.
“But if Rowen hides like a cat in the narrow Underground passage with his lightning-like speed, Shuzo won’t be able to catch him … is he?”
Kizaru said slowly, then looked at the quiet test field.
“Five minutes … If there are no results in that time then there is no need to continue this.”
“Indeed!”
Trane nodded and agreed with Kizaru.
It’s just that Trane looked at the test field hesitantly, and he felt that something was wrong … Hiding like a cat in the Underground tunnel at lightning speed?
That Rowen?
What a joke!
With his understanding of Rowen, the situation right now is too abnormal.
Rowen, that lunatic will never give up, he is a person who even dared to punch Garp when he was on the ship! Even if he finds that his Thunderbolt is helpless against Shuzo, he will launch an attack regardless of that and he will continue to do so until he is finally defeated and fell to the ground.
However what is happening now?
He fled into the Underground, and until now, no thunder attacks have appeared, indicating that Rowen is really behaving as Kizaru said, he is hiding from Shuzo in that Underground Steel Tunnel.
That’s not the Rowen he knew!
Unless …
Thinking of a theory, Trane lost his voice and shook his head.
How could that be?
Rowen is nothing more than a Recruit. As a veteran of decades, how can Shuzo fall into a trap?
Rowen doesn’t have any hidden cards. His growing stronger process was under their eyes and Trane can’t think of any possibility.
That’s right!
So contrary to the usual style, Trane felt that Rowen was in for a big game! Because he …
Want to win!!
A recruit who wants to win against the Headquarters Commodore Shuzo?!
That’s Crazy!
…
When Trane laughed blankly at his thoughts, Rowen had already done everything in Underground. If he knew Trane’s thoughts, he would definitely give a thumbs up and reveal his eight shiny front teeth: “Ouch, Good!”
If Trane had known what Rowen was thinking, he would have burst out laughing and pointed to his nose. “Are you not awake today?!”
Admittedly, according to the previous attack, Rowen knew that the probability of him defeating Shuzo was almost zero. The opponent only showed mediocre melee methods and even that forced him to flee, the strength of the two sides is not on the same playing field!
But “Defeat” and “Surmount” are not the same.
Rowen is confident of Surmounting Shuzo, not winning against him.
Well, the premise is that he can get the beast behind him into the cage, which requires a little acting…
During the crazy running, Shuzo roared loudly and pointed his finger forward: “Shigan (Finger Gun) · Connected Stars!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom!
The densely packed Shigan (Finger Gun) is shot from Shuzo’s fingers with enough power to leave holes in the steel. Inside the small area of ??the Underground tunnel, Rowen has no place to dodge. He cannot use Armament Haki to cover his body so every attack penetrates Rowen’s body and makes him waste stamina to heal his body.
Obviously, Shuzo saw Rowen’s previous weakness. As the head of the testing facility, he is very perspective!
The general weakness of recruits is their physical strength and endurance, which is a far cry from the Veterans, especially Rowen, who just got the Rumble-Rumble Fruit for only a month! Even the slightest healing will consume his stamina, not to mention that he still cannot perfectly control the thunder and lightning. After being broken up, he will rapidly lose his stamina!
No matter what happened and what Rowen does, defeat is his only answer.
Shuzo once again used Shigan (Finger Gun) and Rowen’s condensed body was filled with holes, again, and his mouth twitched: “What a Monster! Isn’t he tired?”
How many times has Shigan (Finger Gun) been fired?
Even I have become tired of watching this!
“Shigan (Finger Gun) · Connected Stars!!”
Seeing Rowen’s body getting re-combine, Shuzo went crazy and attacked with countless Air Bullets. Rowen tried his best to dodge but he was still hit by many Air Bullets and his physical energy passed quickly.
Suddenly, Rowen noticed a crack in the corner.
“Is it finally here?!”
His body once again got filled with spirit, and he rushed ahead with his Thunder Speed. Shuzo saw this scene from behind and thought that Rowen wanted to distance himself from him to escape, and he quickly accelerated!
“Don’t you dare try to escape!”
The Underground has a lot of curves, and even with the fastest lightning speed, it would require Rowen to slow down on a turn, so as long as he doesn’t get pulled down, Shuzo has the confidence to grab Rowen. For a moment, two people move quickly, soon came to a seemingly normal channel.
Thunder and lightning flashed around the corner and Shuzo rushed out … Then he immediately braked and looked at Rowen, who had stopped to rest in front of him and he began to wonder.
His Intuition tells him that there is danger ahead!
