The Formidable Borsalino
A small 'Tree World' formed on Vidal's side, but he soon realized that it was unnecessary, because the forest from a month ago was still there.
After all, plants can thrive as long as they have soil, water, and sunlight, and sometimes they don't even need to be missing one of these three.
As a result, half of the central area of Z Island is now covered by lush trees.
What left Vidal speechless was that while the fighting on the Dragon and Borsalino sides was so intense, not a single person from his side came over.
Yes, those trainees had no intention of stepping into the 'Tree World' at all; they simply sent eight people to guard the outside vigilantly.
How could you do this?
Vidal certainly understood that they were doing the right thing, but even though he understood, it was still strange that no one was paying attention to him.
Should I get involved too?
But who should be attacked first?
The most conspicuous targets were undoubtedly Benson, Comil, and their group, since they filled the entire arena.
Running around randomly.
But Vidal knew that although there were many of them, the pressure of dealing with Dragon and Borsalino at the same time was already immense.
If he were to join in targeting them, the whole melee would lose its meaning, and he didn't want to undermine their confidence too much.
What good would it do if the three of them defeated them? Would it have any positive impact?
No, it's completely meaningless!
Vidal was a thoughtful person; he disliked doing meaningless things.
Is there any way to make this battle have a positive effect on him, or even on everyone?
For a moment he stood silently in the woods, like a hermit isolated from the world, quietly watching the fierce battle outside.
The trainees on guard outside the woods were puzzled; why was Vidal completely silent?
It's important to understand that they were truly prepared to face Dragon, Borsalino, and Vidal simultaneously this time.
But they didn't understand; they underestimated the gap between themselves and the monsters, and they couldn't even imagine what it would be like for three monsters to join forces.
Perhaps this is another form of ignorance breeds fearlessness.
In the air, Borsalino, whose body had already been photonized and fused together, saw his Glint-Glint Beam being intercepted one after another.
Helplessly, he lowered his finger and dodged the onslaught of the swarming Rankyaku.
Although these slashes without the aid of Armament Haki couldn't harm a hair on his head, being constantly 'dismembered' wasn't an option.
He cares about his reputation too!
"You guys are so scary~"
Borsalino remained in his photon form, standing golden in the air, looking down at the serious-looking flying Momonga and the others.
"However, speed is weight. Have any of you ever been Light-Speed Kick?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light flashed and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye. Then, he instantly reappeared on the right side of Yamakaji, in front of a student about fifteen or sixteen meters away.
The student could only watch helplessly as a straight beam of light struck his abdomen, sending him flying backward like a cannonball.
But that wasn't the end of it. Just as the nearby students reacted quickly, disappearing again at the last second before the blade could touch them.
[Bang!]
Another student was kicked away by a beam of light, completely powerless to resist.
"Gather together!" the Momonga shouted, standing back-to-back with two nearby trainees, knives drawn and ready for action.
The execution of these elite trainees was astonishing; the men responsible for besieging Borsalino quickly formed groups of three and arranged themselves into formation.
Just as Borsalino used the same trick again, appearing in front of a student as a golden light, two other students beside him squinted and slashed at him with their swords.
"Eh~"
Borsalino stared in surprise at the twin swords slowly approaching. He could have easily used his elemental advantage to withstand their attacks and forcefully kick the student in front of him away.
But for some reason, he still chose to dodge in an instant, retreating back into mid-air, but he did not slow down his attack, pointing his right index finger forward.
[Beep--]
"You guys can't use the Rankyaku like that~" Borsalino teased with a crooked smile.
[BIU!]
"Not good!"
The Momonga and Comil were the first to react, quickly using Shave to break away from their formation and kicking Rankyaku with all their might.
However, the others were a step slower, which resulted in only two Rankyaku meeting the Glint-Glint Beam, a force that was simply insufficient to intercept them.
[Boom--]
The Glint-Glint Beam successfully landed and expanded into a high-temperature fireball with a scorching heat wave. The violent explosion immediately sent the fifteen trainees flying.
Finally, they truly understood Borsalino's power!
No matter how hard they racked their brains to come up with a countermeasure, Borsalino could still suppress them with his strength.
[BIU! BIU! BIU! BIU!]
The impact of the explosion created a serious gap in the coordination between Momonga and the others. Borsalino seized the opportunity to fire four Glint-Glint Beam, creating fireballs on the ground.
However, he knew he wasn't facing pirates, but his classmates, so he deliberately chose places that were far away from them to bomb.
Although they would be affected by the fire and explosion, he felt that it wouldn't be enough to kill them.
Borsalino's relentless bombardment completely routed Comil and the flying Momonga, leaving them only able to run for their lives amidst the constant explosions.
They now somewhat understood what the adjective "monster" truly meant.
Although they saw Vidal easily deal with all of Borsalino's tactics in the previous live stream, it doesn't mean they can do the same.
They did indeed devise a way to deal with the Glint-Glint Beams and beam kicks by virtue of their numerical advantage and good teamwork.
But that's all.
"You guys are already very good, you're just a little bit short~"
Borsalino retracted his fingers, and with a flash of golden light, appeared in front of the Momonga, rubbing his chin as he lifted his leg and offering a comforting word.
But as soon as the Momonga heard the first half of the sentence, it saw a white shoe surface appear before its eyes, enveloped in golden light, and getting closer and closer.
"Still, it's not working." He thought bitterly to himself; the gap was still too big.
Just as the Momonga had given up and was awaiting its fate of being kicked out, thick, long, sharp green bamboo shoots burst forth from the ground beneath Borsalino's feet, instantly piercing him to pieces.
Borsalino was clearly startled and quickly dragged the photon body, which had been riddled with holes, to a spot several dozen meters away where it recovered.
"This is dangerous!" Borsalino complained to Vidal was perched on a large tree in the distance.
The latter smiled dismissively, thinking that the bamboo wasn't tainted with any Haki or danger whatsoever.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of this gap, Comil, the Momonga, and the others finally had the opportunity to reunite.
The flying squirrel frowned and asked in confusion, "Why help me?"
"I just wanted to see what you could achieve with my help," Vidal said, uttering something completely unexpected.
Immediately afterward, vines sprouted from beneath the feet of the Momonga and the others, binding them. But just as they were about to struggle and resist, the vines retracted back into the ground.
Including the eight trainees who were guarding him and the trainees who had fallen to the ground, a faint green light appeared on the bodies of these twenty-three people in the next second.
I originally intended to write this part briefly, but I had a good idea while eating, so I decided to write it down.
After all, besides earning a living through royalties, I also want to share some interesting things that come to mind with you.
Please understand, thank you. Also, do you have any recommendation votes?
