"Interesting ability."
Through the projection, Sengoku and the others watched as new shoots sprouted into plants.
The plants grew into human shapes.
Next, Aramaki appeared before everyone.
"Are you still going to keep fighting?"
Issho said calmly.
Other than Aramaki, everyone who could still stand shook their heads.
The moment a powerhouse of Issho and Aramaki's level made a move, they knew who was stronger.
"I quit."
Wester was the first to admit defeat.
"I quit too."
"You two fight it out."
Sanra and the others did the same.
People had to learn to face reality, especially when it came to differences in strength. Courage could not make up for that.
After seeing Sanra and the others admit defeat, Issho looked at Aramaki. "Are you going to quit?"
"That's what I should be asking you."
As Aramaki spoke, he had already drawn the sword from his waist.
The Woods-Woods Fruit was powerful, but it currently held no advantage against Issho's Press-Press Fruit.
Therefore, Aramaki decided to settle the matter with swordsmanship.
"Very well. I respect your decision."
After Issho finished speaking, he also returned his sword to its sheath and assumed an attacking stance.
At the same time.
The Gorosei were watching closely as well.
"Now they'll decide the winner between them."
"What if it's difficult for the two of them to determine a winner?"
"If they fight until one of them is crippled, that won't be the result we want."
"If their strength is evenly matched, then we should still choose Aramaki."
"According to CP0's observations, Aramaki is more loyal to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons."
The Gorosei discussed the matter.
The reason they were discussing it was that they acknowledged Issho's strength.
If Issho had been too weak, they would not even have bothered discussing him.
