"Hahaha, I'm the victor of this battle!"

Drake let out a loud laugh and attacked with all his might, seizing a rare opening that Luo Sa had exposed, and unceremoniously swiped a claw towards Luo Sa's abdomen.

"Got him!"

Drake roared excitedly, his claw piercing Luo Sa's abdomen.

"Why isn't he dodging?"

A question arose in Drake's mind.

But the next moment, his expression changed drastically. Luo Sa, whom he had attacked, had suddenly vanished like an illusion!

"Air Slash, Twin Blades Unite, Slash!"

Luo Sa's figure had somehow appeared behind Drake. He now held a greatsword formed from wind blades in both hands and slashed down fiercely at Drake!

Although Drake could use Kami-e, he found himself unable to evade this attack!

Screeeech!

The sound of flesh being torn suddenly rang out, and blood instantly splattered.

Luo Sa's heart leaped with joy, but before he could even smile, he was sent flying back with a fierce blow.

While flying backward, Luo Sa finally saw the situation clearly.

It turned out that at the critical moment, Drake had used his tail to block his attack.

His tail now had a massive gash, deep enough to see bone!

"Luo Sa!"

Drake roared and wrapped his injured tail around his waist. Pushing off with his legs, he charged at Luo Sa again!

Luo Sa flapped his wings, stabilizing himself in mid-air. His wings glowed as he withstood Drake's ferocious assault!

Suddenly, the white light on Luo Sa's wings flickered and then vanished. His Flying Attribute energy had finally been depleted!

Crack!

The sound of bone breaking echoed. After the white light disappeared, Drake's attack instantly shattered Luo Sa's right wing.

However, before he was heavily injured, Luo Sa counterattacked, expending all his Flying Attribute energy to transform into an air blade, striking Drake's gaping tail wound once more.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!"

"It seems your Wind Power is all used up!"

Drake panted heavily, despite the searing pain from his tail.

But he smiled, a genuinely happy smile.

In his eyes, Luo Sa, having lost a wing, could no longer fly. Now that he had also lost the power to fight back, Drake believed he had won.

"You've won? I don't think so!"

Luo Sa looked up at the sky, a brilliant smile on his face.

"Don't think so?"

Drake's gaze sharpened.

Drip.

Just then, a raindrop suddenly fell, hitting Drake's forehead.

"Is it raining?"

Drake looked up at the sky. Dark clouds had already gathered overhead.

"Yes, it's raining!"

Luo Sa stood up from the ground, cradling his broken right arm with his left hand, his smile still brilliant.

Suddenly, a white light erupted from Luo Sa's body, only to dissipate instantly. Luo Sa remained standing there, seemingly unchanged.

Drake was startled at first, his eyes fixed on Luo Sa, trying to figure out what had just happened.

But he found that Luo Sa appeared to have undergone no change at all.

"No, that's not right, his eyes!"

Drake's gaze suddenly intensified. He noticed that Luo Sa's eyes were not as bright as before; they had become very calm.

Immediately, a strange feeling washed over him. They said eyes were the windows to the soul, and he felt as if Luo Sa had become a different person.

Splash, splash.

The dense raindrops finally began to fall, forming a curtain of rain descending from the heavens.

Luo Sa opened his arms to the downpour.

"So what if it's raining? Fall before me!"

A sense of unease welled up in Drake's heart. With a roar, he charged at Luo Sa.

"Hmph!"

With a low growl, Drake's claws fiercely pierced Luo Sa's stomach!

"This feeling again!"

Drake wasn't displeased, but rather startled. He retracted his outstretched hand and scanned his surroundings.

As expected, in a corner of the arena, Luo Sa was smiling at him.

"Damn it!"

Drake charged again, and with another strike, pierced that Luo Sa's body.

The next moment, this Luo Sa disappeared once more!

"Hoo hoo hoo, although the normal attribute energy within me is limited, but..."

"It's enough!!!"

Luo Sa moved, and once again, a Shadow Clone appeared in his original spot.

The next moment, this Shadow Clone was pierced again.

"Where is he? Where?"

Drake was losing his mind at this point, roaring repeatedly, but in the arena, Luo Sa's figure was nowhere to be seen!

Suddenly, Drake felt a gust of wind pass above him. He quickly looked up and saw Luo Sa descending from the sky.

BOOM!

Luo Sa's ordinary punch landed squarely on Drake's face, sending him flying!

Drake tumbled several times on the ground before scrambling back to his feet.

Suddenly, his pupils constricted sharply. He noticed that Luo Sa's previously broken right hand had already healed!

"What a joke!"

Drake roared in a low voice, the throbbing pain from his tail mocking him!

"No, I don't believe it!"

Drake roared and charged forward again.

But at this moment, all of Luo Sa's injuries had completely healed, and his stamina was exceptionally full.

Without the Flying Attribute energy, he relied solely on his physique to fight, and for a time, he was locked in a fierce battle with the heavily injured Drake.

The difference was that Drake grew weaker with each exchange, while Luo Sa became more energetic!

"Why? I'm not willing to accept this!"

Drake's eyes began to blur, and his punches became increasingly feeble.

In the end, he couldn't even maintain the power of his Devil Fruit and transformed back into his human form.

CRASH!

Drake finally fell, landing in a puddle, his eyes closing in unwillingness.

"Is... is the fight over?"

The audience was already dumbfounded. This battle had been full of twists and turns, and even now, they couldn't confirm if it had ended!

This time, even the referee was unsure and hesitated to announce the result!

At this moment, the entire venue fell silent. There was no sound from the arena, the audience seats, or even the officer's section.

"Hmph, well done. Making an exception for him, I have no objections now!"

Finally, it was Akainu who spoke first. With a cold snort, he flicked his justice cape and strode away!

"Yo yo yo, what a scary rookie!" Kizaru's lips curved into a smile.

"Ah, he's quite good, Garp!" Sengoku nodded with a smile.

"Another monster is born!" Aokiji slightly pulled back his eye patch, looking at Luo Sa with great interest.

Upon hearing the words of praise from the Three Admirals, the entire venue erupted in cheers. Clearly, the battle was truly over!

And the victor was... Luo Sa!
