For Roja Recruits like Moss and Dars now don't even have the qualification to be practice partner with him. Those two didn't make Roja excited but more like itchy for more action. So Roja didn't retreat from the arena but stayed there holding his sword and waited for the next challenger.
At this time , all the recruits that heard Roja say who's next are getting dizzy.
What does this mean ?
Waiting for his next opponent ?
Although Roja defeated Moss and Dars those two were in the two hundreds and hundreds ranks. And in the whole camp they weren't strong people at all.
"Hey , This is intresting."
"He learned how to cut steel . Isn't there a challenger ?"
Recruits on the strongest side watched Roja but weren't angered instead they were a bit interested.
"What , No one want to compet ? Or is it … you want to attack together ?"
Roja stood on the arena while glancing at all recruits. This time he decided to test his one month's training result.
Roja never set his goal in this small Marine headquarters . especially since he have that soul system and still can get more powerful as time pass and as long he can make to the heigh stage of the sword of the soul.
The shichibukai , The yonko and the admirals …
The strongest in the sea is the road Roja's looking to go.
From where he is now there is still a long distance to go but even if the road is long step by step he would reach his goal and this camp in the Marineford is his first step toward that goal.
Since he decided on this . He won't sit around and wait to be challenged but he will make it his way.
The recruit's at the square heard Roja who's next and some were tempted and after his scond word they were angry.
This is completely not putting them in his eyes.
Roja is not Drake, The people recognized that his strong and although they didn't know how he got into the first rank But even so with just the power to cut steel he doesn't need to be that arrogant.
"I challenge you."
Immediattly There are recruits unable to control their anger and challenged him.
This was rare. As the rules state that although people could challenge the same person that person has the right to rest for ten minutes But this Roja didn't need that rest and this reminded most of the Marine here of the time of Garp. It was similar to that time.
The instructors had their eyes shining .
"Third battle …"
Responsible for hosting the names , The Reer Admiral with great interest announced the beginning of the match.
The name of the third challenger is Lohan, and he was different from the others in that he did not wield a marine sword, but rather a huge axe.
Because Roja was able to cut through the steel sword, he selected the axe in order to counter Roja's abilities and believe he would undoubtedly get the upper hand.
"I am on my way!"
As soon as he said this, this recruit immediately lifted his axe and waved ferociously in the air.
When confronted with this assault, Roja did not flee or dodge it, but instead softly swung his blade horizontally over the ground.
"This individual... "
A tinge of surprise could not be hidden on the faces of the recruits who saw Roja wield his sword in response to the big axe.
Is he delusional?...
A one-handed sword versus a massive axe is a classic battle. Is he going to be able to counteract?
In the meanwhile, all of the recruits' faces were painted with terror and fear as they realised that Roja had successfully countered the huge axe with a one-handed sword.
ding ding ding!!
Following the crossing of the sword and the axe, the sound of iron htiing iron resounded across the plaza. Instead of cutting the axe, the axe flew out of Lohan's grasp and became lodged on the floor.
And the most remarkable part is that Roja did not use anything other than his hand to apply such intense pressure on the recruit that he was unable to keep the axe in his grip any longer.
"This... " says the author.
"Does he really have that much authority?"
This sight caused almost all of the recruits to look at the same moment.
And even the other strong recruits, such as Drake, are taken aback, particularly those who were in the same group as Roja and his friends. They had a somewhat amusing look on their face.
Is this the worst of the worst, incapable of keeping up with any recruit?
Using a one-handed sword to counter and even cause a big axe to fly out of the wielder's hands is an effective strategy.
"Do you think I'm surprised?"
Roja, his sword still in hand, turned to face Lohan, who had the same expression as the rest and couldn't help but grin at him.
At this point, the majority of the recruits shuddered, as if they were witnessing the devil's grin for the first time.
Wouch!
Lohan was forced to withdraw a few feet as the Roja sword abruptly moved, causing the recrutis to begin.
This demonstrates the power of Roja!!
Roja's strength significantly improved after a month of training with Garp, during which he was continuously pushing his body to its limits.
As a last resort, in the second month, Roja's arm strength was multiplied by a factor of ten, along with the strengthening from the sword of the soul, so that he could compete with the recruits. His strength could hardly have been little.
All of these variables combined to propel Roja to the top of the leaderboard in terms of strength. The individuals who were physically stronger than him were insignificant.
After the recruit fled, Roja took a step forward and swiped his blade over the ground.
It was because he hadn't been woken from the terror that he accidentally swung his axe to meet Roja's sword and died.
Boom.
The sound of the sword and axe colliding was not that of metal striking metal, but rather a tremendously loud roar. Almost at the same moment, the recruit clutching the axe could no longer hold on and was thrown to the ground.
Many recruits were perplexed as to why Roja slashed the swords of Moss and Dars until recently.
His arm strength is incredible, and when combined with Honoo no Tsuki's cutting steel, he seems to be totally normal.
