Chapter 32 Victory And Defeat Part 2

As an Elite of the Headquarters, Shuzo has no problem fighting for three days and three nights!

If this fight continues to drag on then Rowen will eventually make a mistake because of his Stamina’s failure. Shuzo will definitely be able to catch him easily and take him in one fell swoop!

“Yes, there will be a turnaround…”

Looking at the man chasing the light on the high platform, Aokiji replied slowly, “But it would not be created by him, but Shuzo would be the one to give it…”

“Huh? You mean…”

Kizaru was the only one who had stood for the allocated time in front of an Instructor during the Recruiting Camp, and he was familiar with Shuzo’s fighting style. At this moment, hearing Aokiji say this, he suddenly remembered something.

Shuzo was not the Recruiter Instructor at the beginning. He was a veteran with Momonga. He has trained under Zephyr 30 years ago. When he fought with him 20 years ago, Shuzo was a Special Training Instructor in the field.

At that time, Shuzo continued to fight after graduation and accumulated countless Military Merits, and he soon became an outstanding Marine who took the lead and played a unique role… However, due to some reasons in personality, his military rank was not raised.

Later, Edward Weevil, also known as the “Whitebeard II”, attacked the Training Ship. His beloved disciple was slaughtered and his hand was cut off and Zephyr couldn’t bear it.

At that time, Zephyr, who was tortured by guilt and pain all day long, rarely intervened in the Recruitment Camp, and even began to deny his existence as the General Instructor. So Sengoku had to think about maintaining the daily management of the Recruit Camp before Zephyr came out of his depression.

It just so happened that Shuzo was at the Marine Headquarters at that time. Considering his relationship with Zephyr, Sengoku arranged for him to come to the Recruit Camp.

He stayed there for many years!

If someone asked about Shuzo and what is the reason for his personality that keeps him from being able to raise his rank… The answer they would get is that this person is extremely easy to irritate! And once you get him angry, he wouldn’t care about the small details except for the general direction of right and wrong!

Some Pirates who were being pursued by him at some time grasped this point and deliberately angered him. When he led the team to attack them, some people were separated and they were ambushed, resulting in heavy casualties for the Marines. 

Although that Pirate group was successfully eliminated in the end, it has not been worth the effort. This is the reason why Sengoku doesn’t want such a person to be in higher ranks.

The World Government can be corrupt, and the Marine branches can be filled with scum, but in Marine Headquarters, it is absolutely impossible to let incompetent people be in high positions! Throughout the original work, the top executives of Marine Headquarters are all people who care about Justices in their own way!

Kizaru rubbed the beard of his chin and locked his eyes on the high platform behind the brown sunglasses.

“So that’s the case, sure enough… no more fun…”

“Ohh?!”

Akainu was stunned, and asked, “What do you mean?”

“It means…Shuzo is getting defeated, we all lose…”

Aokiji spoke lazily while waving his hand, and stood up: “Forget it, I’ll go back and write a report, otherwise, I won’t get to rest tonight…bye!”

When Aokiji left, Akainu looked at Kizaru and frowned, “What the hell is going on?”

He didn’t even see where Rowen’s winning points were. Why are these two guys certain that Rowen would win? The current situation is quite bad for Rowen!

“Um… how do I put it?”

Holding his chin, Kizaru slanted his face and thought wryly, then uttered four words: “Win or lose determination!”

It is hard for anyone to distinguish the pros and cons of the Three Admirals, they are all outstanding people in the world. It’s just that Aokiji’s thinking is a little more flexible than the other two. Suddenly, Akainu looked back and fixed his gaze on the high platform…not on the two who were fighting!

“Huh…Shuzo is being careless!”

…

Rankyaku (Tempest Kick)!

Buzz!!!

The tall Shuzo is like a moving fortress, jumping up and down. Then he lifted his foot, squeezed the air with his toes, and swept out fiercely.

Suddenly, a dark green sword-like energy burst out!

And below, the Thunder Dragon roared endlessly while colliding against Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) energy.

Siii—-!!!

After hearing a crisp sound, the blue thunder Dragon was instantly cut into two pieces. At the same time, Shuzo stomped on the Void with his right foot, making an empty chirping sound, and dived towards Rowen.

Geppō (Moonwalk)!

Seeing this scene, Rowen took a deep breath.

“This is my only and last chance, then…”

At this moment, he has already been in his Overload Form for some time, and the consumption of his Stamina in this fierce battle is not something he can afford! But he did not admit defeat and waited for this opportunity, forcibly resisted the pain of his Stamina’s Overdrawn limbs, and waited patiently.

Finally, the opportunity has come!

Watching Shuzo dive down at a forty-five-degree angle to the ground, Rowen turned into thunder, summoned every last bit of his strength, and used Blink to dodge Shuzo’s charge.

Bang!

Shuzo fell and smashed the scorched wooden board to pieces. Since he is fighting on the high platform, he needed to control his strength so he wouldn’t accidentally destroy the wooden platform.

However, this attack brought unexpected results.

Because, on the location where his fist hit, the planks were instantly shattered and turned into ashes, without giving him any reaction force. At the same time, Rowen appeared high in the sky with crossed hands.

Final Fire· Overload· Thunderlight Punch!

Bang!!!

“Nani?!”

Suddenly, Shuzo was taken aback.

When Rowen smashed down his fist, Shuzo had already turned around. Shuzo was very surprised when he saw Rowen’s Thunderlight Punch as it was very weak.

In his opinion, this punch can be easily blocked by him without using Armament Haki and without suffering any injuries! If Rowen took the initiative to use Thunderlight Punch to rush into the distance, then he would rather give up the defense, but he can also subdue him on the spot and end the battle!

Now Shuzo doesn’t want to think about those twists and turns, he just wants to win.

It just so happens that Rowen thinks so too!

This Fight……

It’s time to end it!

Rowan slightly smiled and banged his fist against Shuzo’s chest. At the same time, Shuzo firmly grasped Rowen’s arm to prevent him from escaping again.

Immediately!

Shout!

Bang… Bang Rumbling!!!

Falling at high speed, the two of them hit the hard slabs of the square with one stroke…

“High platform No. 29, Rowen vs Shuzo, Rowen Wins!!!”
