Gion's Fear!

"Dalmatian, out!"

"Doberman, out!"

"Onigumo, out!"

The three consecutive island-wide broadcasts startled the trainees engaged in battle, and some who were fighting with prisoners were almost injured as a result.

"Dalmatian, isn't he a Zoan Fruit user? How come he was the first one eliminated?"

"And that Doberman, Onigumo, he seemed really strong at the party yesterday. Is he just intimidating on the outside and nothing special in the end?"

Some trainees who knew the three were stunned; no matter how they looked at it, they shouldn't have been the first to be eliminated!

"We've lost. We've lost completely."

Dalmatian lay on the ground, covered in wounds, staring blankly at the white clouds and blue sky. Beside him lay the unconscious Onigumo and Doberman.

Despite his blood-soaked appearance and disheveled state, these two were actually in far worse shape. Bullet unleashed twelve 'cannon shots,' and they managed to block four of them with all their might. Their steel knives were shattered by the surging force of the punches, and they were then each struck twice more, collapsing to the ground with severe injuries.

He's a Zoan user, so a single whip kick wouldn't knock him unconscious, but his arm was fractured, meaning he probably won't be able to fight for a while.

[Swish! Swish!]

Suddenly, two white figures appeared in an instant. Dalmatian saw that they were two lieutenant Lieutenant Colonels wearing Justice Coat.

Open your mouth.

One of the stern-faced Lieutenant Colonels walked up to him, took three Green Beans from his pocket, and put them in his mouth. After a few crunching sounds, he swallowed them, and a faint green light appeared on Dalmatian's body.

"Ugh, that feels so good!"

Dalmatian found that the excruciating pain in her arms was rapidly subsiding, and her breathing was becoming much easier.

"What's this?"

"Green Beans are a medicine that headquarters ordered from Rear Admiral 'Ryokugyu.' It can restore some physical strength and heal injuries."

Seeing that he was alright, the lieutenant Lieutenant Colonel stood up and walked towards Onigumo, while Doberman was taken care of by another Lieutenant Colonel.

Just as he helped Doberman swallow a few Green Beans using his own water bottle, the Lieutenant Colonel smiled gently.

"Heh, you probably don't know, but that Bullet who just defeated the three of you is the adopted son of Rear Admiral 'Ryokugyu,' and I heard he's the eldest."

Meanwhile, thanks to the Green Beans, Onigumo and Doberman slowly awoke. However, a few Green Beans were not enough to completely heal their injuries, so they needed to return to the warship to see the doctors and then have a good meal in the mess hall!

With the elimination of Dalmatian, Doberman, and Onigumo, the trainees seemed to feel inexplicably pressured, and their attacks became increasingly aggressive, gradually turning Z Island into a true battlefield.

Between trainees, between trainees and prisoners, and even between prisoners themselves.

And that's exactly the result Zephyr wanted!

He always believed that only by getting the trainees adapted to the chaotic battlefield as quickly as possible could they become excellent naval personnel faster and increase their survival rate in future battles.

In an area dotted with hills of varying sizes, the clanging and clashing of swords echoed continuously.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Gion, locked in a fierce battle with five criminals dressed in black and white striped prison uniforms.

"Heh heh, what a lively little girl! I never expected to run into such a gem on this deserted island!" A prisoner over two meters tall, with a lewd face but who could easily withstand every blow from Gion, leered at her and chuckled, "Look, I'm already hard. Why don't you behave yourself, let me have my fun first, and then serve these few subordinates I just took in?"

"Shameless! Vulgar! Die!!"

Gion had never heard such vulgar language before. Her fair face turned red with anger, and she swung her long sword more and more fiercely. But no matter how she slashed and thrust, she could not break through the obstruction of that ordinary steel sword.

With four other equally foul-mouthed fighters surrounding her, she was forced to fight on desperately.

Gion had considered a hit-and-run tactic, then teaming up with the other students she encountered to fight, but the other side seemed to have seen through her intentions, and the five of them combined their strength to trap her firmly in the valley.

Gion felt she could handle the four prisoners alone, but the real problem was Jiaerluka, the 'hunter' who claimed to have a bounty of 51 million Beli.

His swordsmanship and agility were terrifyingly strong, and he would always force himself back with a stunning Flying Slash just when he was about to break through.

"How could such a despicable bastard be a swordsman?!"

Gion found it truly unbelievable. She had always believed that kendo was a very pure thing, and that people with impure minds could never achieve anything.

"Take your time, and when she's almost out of strength, that's when we'll enjoy ourselves. Be careful not to hurt her, or I'll chop you all up!" Jiaerluka warned the four prisoners like a cat toying with Nezumi.

"Yes, yes!"

"Don't worry, boss, we'll be careful!"

"Yes, I guarantee you'll have a fair-skinned, tender little woman, haha!"

Gion was still too young. He was so insulted that he trembled with anger, but due to his good manners, he couldn't utter any words. He could only grit his teeth and silently resist the continuous attacks.

At this moment, she finally understood what kind of opponent a pirate with a bounty of 50 million Beli was.

"Whoosh!"

In the high-speed combat, Gion first parried the swing of a long sword, then turned the blade sharply and sliced through the air, stabbing another prisoner in the throat. The girl's eyes were already filled with shame and anger, and she was truly ruthless when it came to killing.

"You're asking for it!!"

Behind her, a prisoner saw someone die and was immediately filled with murderous intent. He took advantage of her back to him and slashed fiercely with his steel knife.

[Whoosh! Pfft--]

Just as Gion hurriedly used Shave to dodge from his spot, he saw a bright Flying Slash strike the prisoner's body. Instantly, dense bloodstains spurted from his body, followed by a shrill scream.

"Jiaerluka, boss? What are you doing?!"

This astonishing situation caused the other three prisoners to immediately halt their attack and look at Jiaerluka with disbelief.

"I already said, you're not allowed to hurt her. If she dies, am I supposed to get a corpse?"

"But, but she killed our men!" a prisoner shouted.

"Four people working together can be killed by a girl, they're just trash." Jiaerluka's cold gaze silenced the three men, who then turned on Gion, their eyes becoming those of perverts as they leered at Gion figure.

"It would be such a shame if such a beautiful body had any injuries!"

As he spoke, he took a step forward and slowly walked over, which sent a chill down Gion. She instinctively retreated, knowing full well that she could not defeat him.

No matter how high her swordsmanship talent is, she is still just an ordinary Swordsman. How could she possibly be a match for a master swordsman?

"No, we can't back down. Since we can't escape, we'll fight him!" Gion gritted her teeth, suppressing her fear, and gripped the hilt of her sword tightly as she faced Jiaerluka.

"I am a Swordsman, I am a Swordsman!"
