Gawain turned his head and saw Fujitora galloping towards him from a distance.
"Fujitora? What are you doing here?"
"Did you catch up?"
Fujitora secretly sighed and felt lucky: "Originally, I wanted to see if I could help you, but now it seems that I am a step too late."
"No, I appreciate your effort in coming here."
Gawain looked at Fujitora and spoke sincerely.
After all, friends who can come at this time have thrown their lives behind them and come with the will to fight to the death.
How could Gawain's heart not be touched?
Then he looked at Zephyr, who had lost his ability to fight, and said calmly: "I know what you are worried about. After all, this guy has trained countless Marine officers. Even the three current marine admirals are taught by him."
"If I really kill him here, I will be stirring up a hornet's nest."
"But given his position in the Marines, he can help me get something from the World Government."
"Since I can't wait, I'll just grab it!"
"This is the style of the Warlord!"
A few days later, at Raven Arena.
The audience poured in so densely that they even filled the aisles.
Countless people roared hysterically, but their eyes were fixed on the two figures in the center of the arena.
"Is this the final battle?!"
"I didn't expect that these two people would make it to the end. Who will win this battle?"
"Even if we don't mention the Devil Fruit, if they get 300 million Belly, they won't have to worry about money for the rest of their life."
Someone expressed his feelings but was immediately despised by the people around him: "For people like them, money is just a number. The only thing that can move them is the title of the strongest!"
"The battle will unfold here. How fierce will the battle between the strongest and last monsters be?!"
"I want to see rivers of blood!"
Crack!
Thunder roared, and lightning flashed, almost tearing the sky apart and making the atmosphere even more solemn.
Around the arena, the cheers were getting louder and louder.
The two people standing in the field looked at each other and saw a strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
There have been many accidents since the draw began.
First, Daz Bonez escaped overnight, and then Senor Pink temporarily withdrew from the competition. Only six of the eight people who had originally passed the line remained.
Kuro and Zoro were given a bye and directly advanced to the semi-finals.
After a fierce battle between Sanji and Ideo, Sanji was defeated by a narrow margin, but he also completely broke Ideo's arm, causing the latter to lose his combat effectiveness and be miserably defeated by Gin in the second round.
Afterward, Kuro pushed Zoro off the stage at an extremely fast speed, and the fight ended in a very frustrating way.
The two people who are now in the finals are naturally Gin and Kuro.
Along with thunder, raindrops as big as beans gradually fell from the sky, splashing water all over the arena and soaking everyone's clothes.
But it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of countless spectators for this battle.
Under the heavy rain, a smile appeared on Kuro's lips: "Ahh…"
"It's very similar to the day we first fought, isn't it?"
Gin shook the Tonfa in his hand, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "I won't lose this time, Kuro!"
"I must become Mr. Gawain's right-hand man! I want to help him ascend the throne of this world!"
Along with the sound, an inexplicable will rose in Gin's heart.
"That's what I want to say, too."
Kuro said calmly, his eyes also revealing the desire for victory.
He knew how much Gin wanted to get that devil fruit.
But it is also clear that trying one's best to defeat him here or being defeated by him, is the best respect for this will.
"Come!"
As the voice fell, two figures appeared in the center of the arena in an instant, and the Tonfa and the Cat Claws collided in the air.
Boom!
The powerful impact made the two of them take a step back at the same time, but they turned around and stepped forward again, trying their best to start another round of confrontation!
The Cat Claws slashed down like raindrops in the air, and the force of the Tonfa poured down, smashing the stone slabs in the arena into pieces.
During the confrontation, the will and spirit of the two men were raised to unprecedented heights.
The flickering fire in the air at this moment overshadowed the thunder in the sky!
"Gin!"
"Kuro!"
After two roars, two phantoms appeared, fighting on the field!
Every audience opened their eyes wide at this moment.
"Too fast! Whether it's Gin or Kuro, they are both too fast!"
"This is not just a game, but a contest of wills between the second and third in command of the White Knight Pirate!"
"It's a worthwhile trip!"
"I have a feeling that this will become a landmark battle in the Raven Arena and the Martial Arts Tournament!"
Zoro and others who had been eliminated long ago also sat in a corner of the audience, watching the final battle between the two, and even began to guess who would be the final winner.
"Those two guys are totally crazy!"
Van Augur drooped his eyelids, and although his tone was indifferent, he was also shocked by the powerful fighting power displayed by the two: "But who will win?!"
"Kuro."
Zoro's mouth was stretched into a grin, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
It was because of such a ridiculous ending that he felt extremely aggrieved, but Kuro's strength was unquestionably strong.
"Although I don't want to admit it, that guy is indeed the strongest besides the captain."
"After all, Gin was defeated by him before, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded in agreement.
Only Sanji, who was wrapped in bandages, took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and argued: "I can see it clearly."
"Gin has been training for a long time, almost risking his life. He has become much stronger. He will not lose to Kuro."
"Past victories and defeats can no longer serve as a reference for this battle."
"The winner will be Gin!"
Zoro held up four fingers to Sanji and said teasingly: "No. 4, please stop talking nonsense here!"
Sanji raised his eyebrows; his pupils were flaming with fire.
If someone were to ask everyone present who is the most dissatisfied with their current position within the team, it would only be Sanji.
Zoro, Gin, and Kuro were all in the top four, but he was the only one who gave it his all, yet still lost to Ideo.
It would be fine if he was ranked behind Zoro; the key is that he is just a little bit away from being able to recruit beautiful chefs!
"Mosshead!"
"Want to fight?! If I defeat you now, I can go one step further!"
"Ahhh!"
Zoro waved his hands, and the mockery on his face became even more intense: "I have no interest in the weak."
"Bastard!"
Sanji was furious and was about to continue when a loud roar broke out in the arena. The fight between the two directly shattered the platform in the middle!
Boom!
After the initial simple test, it was an all-out fight!
Kuro let go of his hands, and the speed of Pussyfoot Maneuver was pushed to the extreme.
Countless afterimages appeared in the air. He also took the opportunity to launch countless attacks, leaving wounds on Gin's body.
Seeing this, Gin simply closed his eyes, activated his Observation Haki, and accurately sensed the danger coming, making him able to use the Tonfa in his hand to barely block Kuro's attack.
The battle gradually became more intense, and the air was filled with sparks left by the fighting.
