The next moment, the ultimate moves met; the sword and the foot collided in mid-air…
Boom!
After two months of hard training, Zoro and Sanji's combat power has reached the Bronze level.
Their talents and strengths were extremely similar, and they burst out with all their strength at this moment, leaving countless holes and cuts on the ground of the arena in an instant.
The mere stray flying slash and flames caused everyone around to flee to the edge of the arena in a panic, fearing that they would be affected by the fight between the two.
But there was still one unlucky guy who was affected by Zoro's flying slash and Sanji's kick. He accidentally fell into the water and had to leave the stage with regret.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the fight between the two became more intense, each one of them subconsciously used all their strength and was determined to decide the outcome.
The battle on the field became more, and the audience on the sidelines also let out a deafening roar!
"Monster!"
"These two, whether they are that yellow-haired or the green-haired, are the same monsters as Gin, Kuro, Dellinger, and others before!"
"A swordsman who masters the flying slash and a warrior who uses the flaming kick!"
"This is the closing battle of the Martial Arts Tournament, and naturally, it is also the most intense one!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
In the audience, when the unified slogan sounded, everyone felt their blood boiling.
But Blue Gilly, who was standing in the arena at this moment, didn't think so.
Watching the increasingly fierce fight between Zoro and Sanji, he felt an indescribable fear in his heart.
He had an accurate assessment of his own combat power, which was far stronger than the other small fry around him but definitely not comparable to the two men in front of him.
If he takes these two people individually, he's no match for either one!
Under normal circumstances, he has no chance of winning this battle, but in this case…
A hint of darkness flashed across Blue Gilly's eyes. He concealed his presence and looked for the right opportunity like a prey.
He wants to seize the moment when the two men burst out with all their strength and have no time to react, knock them all out of the field, and then get rid of these small fish.
This is the only way he can advance!
As time went by, even the sound of Blue Gilly's breathing became quieter, and he had no presence in the arena.
Finally, the two people fighting in the field once again launched an even more powerful attack.
Flames swept across the field and exploded.
The Flying Slash was chaotic, and even though it shattered, it still cut cracks in the reinforced stone slabs on the surface.
There was a sudden burst of wind in the field, making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes!
"Now!"
Blue Gilly muttered to himself as he folded his legs with exaggerated proportions, pushing his body forward like a spring, and charged toward Zoro and Sanji in the center.
This blow, he didn't hold back at all and risked everything!
Because only in this way can he force those two people to get out of the field!
"Who?!"
Two slightly doubtful voices sounded in Blue Gilly's ears at the same time.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and his back felt cold.
It was because Zoro and Sanji had not been affected at all by the collision just now, and they turned to look at him.
"Stay out of the way!"
The two sounds almost overlapped, and then came three swords and black feet, falling on Blue Gilly at the same time…
Whoosh!
A blood mist suddenly burst out from his waist, and then he was kicked away by Sanji, falling into the audience seats in the distance and losing consciousness on the spot.
Several audience members were instantly frightened by this scene and lost consciousness, but many more were so excited that they were close to madness.
"This is what I want to see!"
"No matter what happens now, it's worth it!"
"This trip is really worth it!"
"This kind of battle is what men pursue, evenly matched and fighting a hard battle!"
After being attacked by Blue Gilly, Sanji and Zoro stopped at the same time.
Their eyes met, and the two said in unison: "Sure enough, you and I don't get along at all!"
After saying it, the two of them stopped at the same time, and they felt the air become quiet.
After a few seconds, the two spoke again: "I will never forgive anyone who bullies women (hinders my swordsmanship)!"
As the sound fell to the ground, the surroundings became quiet again.
The few surviving competitors on the field looked at the two and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Aren't you two a perfect match?!"
"Ha?!"
The two of them turned their heads away at the same time, with their movements in perfect sync.
If it weren't for the fact that the two looked very different, people around them would almost think they were twin brothers.
One of the competitors had his mouth twitching, realizing that he had no hope of advancing. Not wanting to watch the two people bickering anymore, he simply turned around and jumped into the water, directly declaring his surrender.
The others followed suit and gave up without any intention of fighting anymore.
After all, if the aftermath of their opponent's battle is enough to kill them instantly if a fight really breaks out, they can only hope that their opponent will show mercy for them to survive.
Seeing they had no chance of winning, they simply turned around and walked down the arena amidst the noise.
After a few seconds, only Zoro and Sanji were left standing on the field.
Jango looked at the two funny guys and couldn't help but smile a little: "You say you hate me, but in your heart, I am your favorite… What adjective did the captain use last time?!"
"Oh, tsundere."
"What are you mumbling about?!"
Jasmine leaned forward, and Jango shook his head: "Nothing."
Then he picked up the microphone and said loudly: "Today's last qualifying match, the western division match, ends now!"
"And the winner is:"
"Roronoa Zoro and Sanji!"
There were thunderous cheers at the scene.
Today's qualifying matches made the audience extremely satisfied, and they even began to look forward to the next match, when it will be held, and to what level the battle will be pushed.
The crowd's cheers lasted for several minutes before slowly dying down.
Jango also took the opportunity to announce: "In order to allow the players to recover to their best condition, heal their injuries, and formulate tactics, the final will be held in two days!"
"Please continue to support us!"
The crowd cheered again, marking the official end of the preliminaries.
Jango also felt relaxed at this moment. He touched his vest and found that it was already wet with sweat. It was not because of nervousness but because of excitement!
Also, at this moment, he made up his mind to stay here, to stay in Raven Harbor, and to witness the unfolding of one Martial Arts Tournament after another.
Jasmine looked at Jango's back and felt that he had something that she didn't have.
It was exactly the same as when Gaza decided to pursue the power to protect everything.
Then she remembered.
A person who has goals and desires and knows what he is pursuing even walks in a completely different way from a confused person.
The same thing happened to Jango at this moment. He found something he was willing to do, even if it meant giving up his life.
Firm, steady, without any room for hesitation.
Those cheers and applause are exactly what he pursues in his life.
The next day, late at night.
Even though it was past two in the morning, the lights in Raven Harbor were still bright, and the flow of people coming and going was like a shining river.
Countless tourists still enjoy visiting the harbor and have fun roaming it.
