The Bull and the Dragon Clash

"This is getting a bit troublesome."

Vidal ignored Borsalino, who landed beside him from the air, and looked with surprise at Dragon arrived much faster than he had expected.

His gaze shifted, and he saw Benson, Comil, and the others being quickly carried away by several sailors dressed in Justice Coats.

This was likely to prevent them from being caught in the crossfire of the upcoming battle.

However, Sakazuki is also remarkable. He has managed to hold out until now against the combined attack of himself and Borsalino. One has to admire his thick skin and high HP.

No wonder he was still able to keep chasing Luffy and fight the Whitebeard Pirates' captains one-on-one after enduring so many of Whitebeard's attacks.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me!"

Over there, Sakazuki, hearing Dragon's question, stood up from the pit with a cold face, then took two steps forward to stand beside him, facing Vidal and Borsalino on the other side.

Finally, the two pairs of roommates faced off!

However, Sakazuki looked the most disheveled of the four, covered in wounds, bloodstains, and holes, and his clothes were tattered.

He might as well just tear off his shirt and expose his muscular body, Dragon, not to mention compared to the two neatly dressed men opposite him.

"So, which one do you want to fight?" Borsalino asked with a nonchalant smirk.

"I'll fight Dragon!"

Vidal didn't mince words, saying directly, "Sakazuki's abilities are too much of a counter to mine, and Dragon also possesses Haki; you're not easy to deal with."

"Alright."

Borsalino nodded. He didn't care who he fought, although he felt that it was no big deal if the Haki could only touch his own body.

After all, with his speed, as long as he doesn't get hit in the main body, what's the big deal?

Okay, he hasn't fought Vidal Dragon yet, so he doesn't know Haki besides Armament Haki, there's another category called Observation Haki.

This is also Vidal's fault; when we were talking about Haki, he just forgot to mention Observation Haki.

"Go on then! Take care of Sakazuki as quickly as possible; he doesn't have much energy left!"

With that, a flash of green light appeared, Vidal vanished from his spot, rushing towards Dragon at top speed. He had long wanted to test his skills against his opponent.

"Forrest Vidal, a worthy opponent."

Dragon smiled expectantly, his figure vanished instantly, and the next moment he appeared in front of Vidal, covering a distance of dozens of meters.

A Hardening, Haki fist slammed down, its surface rippled with visible air currents.

Seeing this, Vidal also showed excitement, his Observation Haki locking onto the opponent's movements.

At the same time, a green punch, amplified by Armament Haki, Photosynthetic Energy, Tekkai, met the attack head-on.

[Boom!]

A sudden explosion rang out in the sky, and a storm swept across the entire arena as fists collided, even dispersing the heat emanating from the magma on the ground.

"Cool!"

"Sharp!"

The two men separated as soon as they touched, nimbly using the 'Geppo' to quickly retreat and dissipate the fierce force transmitted from their fists.

But the fighting spirit in their eyes and the passion in their hearts had already reached their peak. Without saying a word, they once again shot towards each other, and in an instant, an extremely fierce battle ensued.

[Bang bang--]

At this point, Vidal had basically abandoned his tree-type techniques and was relying entirely on his Haki, Six Powers, and Photosynthetic Energy to fight fiercely against him.

Let's have some fun first!

Countless fist shadows and afterimages crisscrossed the sky. Whenever the green streak trailing a long shadow crossed with the black shadow, a cannon-like collision would erupt, pushing a thick shockwave outwards.

"Shigan - Seed Machine Gun!"

"Dragon Claw Fist!"

"Rankyaku - Flying Leaf Quick Blade!"

"Dragon Leg!"

Each fighter unleashed their unique martial arts skills, undergoing rigorous testing against opponents of similar skill levels. The true strength and weakness of each fighter would be revealed in this battle.

[Bang!]

In another all-out clash, Dragon landed a dark Dragon Claw Fist on Vidal's abdomen, the domineering force of the punch exploding along with the air.

Vidal transformed from the sky into a green meteorite and crashed to the ground, creating a deep crater in the lava-filled earth.

[Whoosh!]

Before even two breaths had passed, the green shadow soared from the pit into the sky, kicking Dragon's defensive arms and sending him hurtling towards the oasis, crashing through the trees and breaking one by one along the way.

Then, trailing long green streaks across the sky, they gave chase. The two became entangled in the still relatively intact jungle, creating a tremendous commotion and causing widespread destruction.

"Incredible, truly incredible! These two can't be described as just geniuses!" A Vice Admiral in the conference room exclaimed with deep emotion.

"One is the son of Vice Admiral Garp, and the other is the son of Vice Admiral Cornell. They are both quintessential Gunko!" This was what Fleet Admiral Kong was most pleased with.

At this time, the Admiral Sengoku, whose era name was Sengoku, nodded and commented while keeping a close eye on the battle on the screen.

"Dragon and Vidal come from similar backgrounds and both received excellent combat training from a young age."

"Although the former's training was more haphazard, Garp was also much stronger, resulting in an advantage in Haki and punching power."

"But the latter's Devil Fruit ability made up for this gap. I never expected that he could perfectly integrate that ability called Photosynthesis with physical skills."

Ever since he learned that Vidal's Devil Fruit power was the Forest-Forest Fruit, he made a point of checking out the relevant information.

Actually, it wasn't just him; Sakazuki, Borsalino, and the others were the same.

The data shows that the last Devil Fruit User appeared 320 years ago, and his use of the ability was completely different from Vidal's.

That person traveled the world collecting all sorts of strange plants, then enhanced and modified them to expand his fighting methods.

Therefore, the records show that he cultivated a wide variety of plants, and he could basically come up with all sorts of strange plants to deal with any situation.

But that's all there is to it. After all, no matter how unique a plant's abilities are, they're nothing but flashy tricks when facing a truly powerful opponent.

There's no way around it; this world has its Haki, and the upper limit of sword energy is always determined by direct strength, not the number of techniques used.

"My God, Vidal is so strong?"

Inside the command office of Navarone Fortress, Rear Admiral Dewitt stared in disbelief at the battle scenes displayed on the screen.

He felt that even if he went up there to fight, that was about the best he could do. But how old was he? How old were Vidal and the others?

"I didn't expect there to be so many peers in the Special Training Camp who could go toe-to-toe with Vidal." Vice Admiral Cornell sighed inwardly, suddenly sensing the arrival of the new generation.

"Keep it up, son!"

But regardless, in his heart, Vidal will always be the best. What does it matter if Vice Admiral Garp?

He might not be able to beat Vice Admiral Garp, but as long as his son could beat Garp's son, wouldn't that be enough?!

"Hahaha!"

On a certain island, Garp's maniacal laughter echoed throughout the entire island. After laughing, he bit into the senbei in his hand and shouted at the image projected by the Den Den Mushi.

"You brat, if you lose, don't blame me for letting you experience the Fist of Love again once I leave the island!"

"But this kid named Vidal is indeed quite good."

Hmm, it seems like I'm getting more followers after the cover change. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but what do you guys think of the new cover?

There's also the issue of the synopsis; unfortunately, it takes seven days to revise it, which is quite frustrating. Finally, I sincerely thank everyone for casting their votes for this book.

This book is already in the top 40 of the new author signing list for light novels. Although it still seems far behind, you should know that it was in the 70s yesterday.

Those interested can look for this book on the list. Also, I sent self-recommendations to many book list administrators, but unfortunately, none of them added me. It's frustrating. I wonder when this book will be recommended on a book list. I'm looking forward to it.
