Phantom God Twins Middle

"What is this!"

As Burufatt stared in disbelief, Oshi announced the name of the technique.

"Heh heh! Phantom God Karate—Demon Tile Straight Punch!"

The exact same move Burufatt had just used was unleashed from Oshi's fist, and its power was even greater than his.

"Scale Skin!"

Hastily using his strongest defensive technique, Burufatt crossed his arms, his powerful Armament Haki covering his limbs.

"Haa!"

The next instant, a fist radiating red mixed with golden lightning patterns slammed into his darkened arms from a distance, emitting a sound like metal clashing!

The energy clash at the point of impact directly generated astonishing lightning, and the resulting shockwave even blew away some of the pirates who were watching from a closer distance.

On that day, the town's residents were reminded of the fear they once felt when dominated by earthquakes.

"It's over, it's over! Daughter, we really can't stay here anymore. Let's pack up quickly and go back to West Blue."

Saluzzo, the owner of the Syracuse restaurant, couldn't care about the orange he had instinctively crushed in his hand and urgently called out to the kitchen.

"No, I'm not going back. No one in that dump of a West Blue appreciates my cooking."

The young Miss Lap did not agree with her father's suggestion.

"It's better here. People come to order my pineapple pizza every day now. And I've just had some new inspiration recently..."

"But here... the earthquake..."

"I won't go back even if the island sinks."

"Sigh~ Forget it, forget it! As long as you're happy!"

"Kid, when did you learn Fish-Man Karate?!"

Burufatt, struggling to defend against Oshi's attack, spoke with difficulty.

He stared at the red figure up close, feeling as if the Haki in the opponent's small fist was endless.

"Do I need to learn such childish moves? Can't I learn them just by watching once?"

Oshi's face was full of a defiant smile.

Although she was exaggerating, the force-generating techniques of Fish-Man Karate's straight punch were all similar. After watching the opponent demonstrate it so many times, Oshi had already learned most of it.

"You keep giving me one surprise after another, kid!"

"Don't rush to express your feelings, there's more to come!"

As she spoke, Oshi's fist, which had been locked in a stalemate with Burufatt's arm, suddenly began to swirl with airflow. The crimson Haki, enveloped in a fierce vortex, began to break through the opponent's defense little by little like a drill.

"Haa! Crimson Lotus Spiral Fang!!!"

"Wh—"

Facing this sudden second impact, Burufatt finally began to lose his grip. He was pushed backward, and the Haki on his arms showed signs of dissipating.

"Heheheh! You can't handle it now, Ox-head Uncle? What a weakling, a weakling~"

Oshi, now gaining the upper hand, couldn't help but switch to her "bratty girl" taunting mode. Partly to disrupt the opponent, and partly to get revenge for being sent flying earlier.

"Damn it! I can't lose to you, kid!"

Suppressed with no room to retreat, Burufatt hardened his resolve and didn't bother to hold back.

He suddenly threw his head back forcefully, and his forehead was rapidly covered in black Armament Haki.

"Ha! Fish-Man Karate Secret Technique—Sea God Hammer!!!"

"Hmm—?"

In Oshi's eyes, Burufatt's bull-horned head suddenly magnified at extreme speed. Completely caught off guard by this move, Oshi was hit by Burufatt's headbutt, which created a sonic boom, and was sent flying almost horizontally along the ground towards Kaido and the others watching from afar.

"Oshi was careless."

Stretching out her hands, Ra gently caught Oshi. By some unknown method, Oshi, whose speed had surpassed that of a cannonball, landed softly in her arms, the impact only blowing a strand of Ra's golden hair.

"Hmph~ This guy gets carried away easily when he gains the upper hand," Obe said, crossing her arms and glancing at Oshi in Ra's arms.

"The difference in experience is also a significant factor.

Burufatt's combat experience far surpasses Oshi's. If Oshi's strength hadn't surprised him multiple times, catching him off guard, he probably would have won even more easily."

Ra looked down at Oshi in her arms. At this moment, her eyes were spinning, clearly indicating she had fainted.

Burufatt shook his slightly numb arms and shouted towards them, "How is it? Is that kid okay?"

"She's fine, just fainted." Kaido glanced at Oshi and then said with a hearty laugh, "Uro ro ro ro ro! Well fought, Burufatt."

"Ah~ Boss Kaido, don't tease me! If it weren't for luck today, I might have really fallen to this kid. She's truly an incredible little monster~"

"Alright, you can come over and rest here!" Kaido pointed to a spot next to him.

"Oh! Big Brother Burufatt won!" Hearing Kaido declare the winner, the surrounding pirates couldn't help but start to stir.

"What an exciting battle! I'd say it was worth the price of admission even if I died, just to see a fight this amazing!"

"That red-haired brat is strong too, to actually make Brother Burufatt struggle like this."

"Yeah, what's the deal with these three brats Kaido brought back?"

"Alright, you two are next. Don't disappoint me." Kaido signaled that it was time for the next match.

"Leave it to me, Mr. Kaido." King glanced at Obe before stepping into the arena.

At that moment, Obe also withdrew her gaze from Oshi and stared at King's exposed eyes, saying, "Don't you dare think I'll be careless like that idiot, mask-wearing bastard."

"And I don't need my opponent to be careless to win."

Arriving at the center of the training ground, King directly drew the long sword at his waist, and the flames behind him began to expand fiercely.

"Hoh~ They're already going all out from the start, that King guy."

Seeing King like this, Kaido's anticipation for this battle grew even more.

King's appearance also caused the already fervent atmosphere, heated by the previous battle, to boil over once more!

Cheers mingled with disbelief as the surrounding pirates erupted with unimaginable passion.

In the Beasts Pirates, a group that prioritized strength above all else, nothing stirred the emotions of the masses more than a battle.

"Woooooh!!!!"

"Is that Brother King?! Is Brother King going to fight too?"

"No way! Two Executives challenged on the same day!"

"Haha! This is truly worth the price of admission even if we die now!"

"Who's the opponent? It couldn't be..."

"That's right, it's that blue-haired brat! After her older sister challenged an Executive, is her younger sister going to step up too?"

"Gulp~ D-do you guys think Kaido-boss might fight later?" one pirate thought of a possibility and couldn't help but swallow.

"No, that's impossible... Kaido-boss's strength is on a completely different level from the Executives. If he fought, the opponent probably wouldn't last one hit."

"What about that Ra?" one pirate thought of that golden figure.

As soon as this was said, the pirates gathered around them all fell silent.

Seeing that no one else was speaking, that pirate continued, "You guys can feel it too, right? That girl with golden hair and an aristocratic air about her.

She always seemed so fragile, she's never even cursed anyone, yet I have absolutely no desire to fight her."

"Yeah, it feels like the moment I try to fight her, I'll disappear from this world. It's like my body instinctively refuses to make an enemy of her," another pirate next to him chimed in.

"And that red-haired brat, despite having such great strength, she's as docile as a kitten in front of her."

Amidst the discussions of the pirates, the battle between Obe and King had quietly begun.
