Chapter 43

In fact, Cage was right. The reason why Ron fought Roy for so long was because Ron did it on purpose. The reason for this is that Ron intends to sharpen his fighting skills in the battle.

Now on Ron, the proficiency of [White Fighting] is only 67, which is not too high. He plans to raise the proficiency of [White Fighting] to above 80. [Swordsmanship] After 80, Ron can use Flying Slash. In this world, he has stepped into the realm of a swordsman!

Although limited by his physique, Ron's slashing strength is definitely not as strong as other sword masters who have grown up step by step. But in terms of skills, it will definitely not be much weaker!

Ron didn't want to use achievement points to increase the proficiency of [White Fighting], so he had no choice but to sharpen his fighting skills step by step! He really wants to know, what will he get after his [White Fighting] skill proficiency exceeds 80?

'However, it should be settled, if it continues, this person will probably go crazy…' Ron looked at Roy and decided to solve this matter quickly. Because he hadn't defeated Ron after fighting for so long, Roy became more and more anxious, and even his mind became distorted...

Thinking of this, Ron decided to be more serious, not to use his hand-practicing tools to make him depressed...

When Ron became serious, his momentum changed. Those with stronger perception in the field had discovered this subtle change and couldn't help but look at Ron, not knowing what happened to Ron.

Only Roy, who was facing Ron, felt an inexplicable pressure from Ron at this time! It actually made him palpitate a little.

"Senior, be careful!" Ron smiled, and the next moment, his figure disappeared, and almost no one in the field could see Ron's movements clearly. Appearing again, Ron had already come in front of Roy.

Looking up at Roy, who was much taller than him, Ron charged up and punched out, and Roy, who was unable to react in time, was directly blasted into the sky.

Then, Ron moved instantly, caught up with Roy's figure, and came over him. With his head down, Ron stomped on the air in an instant, and with this strength, he punched out! With this punch, Ron hardly held back his hand.

'Boom!'

Roy's body was blasted into the ground by Ron's punch, smashing the ground into a big hole. With a muffled snort, blood overflowed from the corner of Roy's mouth, but relying on the ability of the animal system, he held Ron's full two punches and did not fall into a coma, but suffered serious injuries!

Here's a revised version of Chapter 36 with corrections, translations, and accurate names according to the "One Piece" series:

 "Hiss..."

"Roy... lost!"

"How is this possible? Roy actually..."

"You're telling me this is a freshman?"

Seeing this scene, all the senior students felt their scalps tingle. What kind of monster is this freshman? Even Roy is no match for him!

On the freshmen's side, everyone felt their blood boiling with excitement, as if they'd just been injected with pure adrenaline:

"Ron is so strong!"

"Even someone with an animal-type Devil Fruit ability can't beat him!"

In the distance, several instructors exchanged glances, rendered speechless by the spectacle.

Maynard smiled wryly: "This really was a mistake! I didn't expect Roy to lose..."

Layton rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed as he recalled what he'd said earlier. Damn it, Roy couldn't even last ten minutes!

Mandel also shook his head, lamenting that they had truly underestimated Ron.

Suddenly, the instructors all seemed to have the same thought and turned to look at Cage, who didn't appear the least bit surprised. They recalled what Cage had said earlier.

Maynard looked at Cage and asked curiously, "Major General Cage, do you know this freshman?"

Mandel was also intrigued: "Major General Cage, what's the story with that freshman?"

Cage spread his hands and smiled oddly: "I'm their instructor, so naturally, I know more than you do. Although this kid is young, he's very strong! And it seems that even Admiral Zephyr has taken notice of him!"

"Hiss..."

All three instructors gasped. His strength was evident from his defeat of Roy. But more importantly, to be noticed by Admiral Zephyr?

This kid is a real prodigy!

Could he be another monster like some of the others?

They knew Admiral Zephyr's discerning eye, capable of identifying a person's strengths and focusing on specialized training! From the current "monster" vice admirals who were all his students, it was clear that Zephyr's teaching ability was top-notch!

"After today, that kid should be able to break into the Elite Camp!" Cage remarked. Those who break the rules and join the Elite Camp usually go on to become major figures with significant influence in the Navy!

...

Ron looked at Roy, who was struggling to get up, and shook his head, saying lightly, "Senior, admit defeat. You can't defeat me now."

Roy looked at Ron. This time, he didn't argue, but kept staring at Ron intently. Finally, he lowered his head and said, "I lost."

But soon, he raised his head again and declared firmly, "However, the next time we meet, I will surpass you!"

The animal-type Devil Fruit had already begun to heal his injuries, and with that recovery, Roy managed to get up and walk away, his steps relatively steady.

'Surpass me? Not in this lifetime!' Ron thought as he watched Roy's departing back, smiling and dismissing his words.

As a future Navy legend, how could he be surpassed by anyone?

The gap between them would only widen, until Roy was so defeated that he'd question his very existence—there would be no other outcome!

After Roy's defeat at Ron's hands, the remaining senior students were all downcast, and none dared to challenge him again. Those who hadn't left soon scattered, terrified of Ron's strength.

The freshmen, on the other hand, cheered around Ron—they had beaten the seniors!

Ron smiled and responded to them. Once the excitement died down, Instructor Cage appeared.
