Absolute Justice!

Onigumo walked the path of a swordsman. Young as he was, he had already mastered swordsmanship and possessed some insights into the way of the sword.

In his human-beast form, Onigumo's speed was astonishing, and climbing trees was as easy as pie for him.

A black phantom seemed to flash through the forest.

In an instant, Onigumo appeared before Morito, his eight spider legs controlling eight greatswords as he madly slashed down.

The arcs of his blades were as white as silk threads, weaving into a large net like delicate white spider silk, covering everything.

Dense! Fierce!

"Spider Gari!"

Just like a spider hunting its prey, the sword net sealed off all of Morito's escape routes.

The monitoring Den Den Mushi had already resumed operation.

Many trainees in the plaza saw this scene. Although they disliked Morito, their expressions all changed in unison.

Anyone with eyes could see how ferocious Onigumo's attack was.

If Morito were hit by Onigumo's attack, he would likely be shattered into countless pieces! How could future Marines with a sense of justice stand by and watch someone die unjustly?

Most of them just disliked Morito and wanted him out of the Naval Academy.

The examiner in charge of the forest area not far away instinctively moved to intervene.

The examiner's job was to prevent accidents.

He hadn't expected Onigumo to unleash such a fierce killing move right from the start.

Unfortunately, it was already too late for him to intervene.

However, many people watched this scene with cold smiles, as if anticipating the moment Morito would be slaughtered by Onigumo.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!!

The spider web-like sword shadows descended!

The large tree Morito stood on was instantly cut into countless pieces. Onigumo acted as if he were cutting tofu, without the slightest resistance or pause.

For a moment, Morito's body was also cut into countless pieces within their sight.

"No way? He's dead?"

"There's never been a death in the Training Camp's qualifying exams!"

Those watching the plaza through the monitoring Den Den Mushi couldn't see clearly, judging only by eye that Morito's body had been cut into countless pieces.

But in the forest, Onigumo's expression was solemn, as if he had seen a ghost.

Because he didn't feel like he had hit flesh, and not a drop of blood had spurted out!

The next second.

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out, and Onigumo's body suddenly soared into the air.

Immediately after!

Under a terrifying brute force, Onigumo's body was sent flying uncontrollably.

He crashed into a tree several times thicker than his body like a cannonball!

The tree snapped with a crack, and Onigumo was instantly swallowed by the dense foliage.

Seeing this, the crowd exclaimed in surprise again.

"What's going on? Was that a figure flying through the air?!"

"I think I saw Onigumo get blown away?"

In the forest, they saw Onigumo flying backward at high speed, but Morito's figure was nowhere to be seen.

The monitoring Den Den Mushi was also rapidly searching for Morito's trace.

Boom!

Just then, another explosion rocked the area.

It came from where Onigumo was!

Morito, who had appeared above Onigumo at some unknown time, unleashed a gravity-enhanced downward slash. His seemingly slender leg stomped down, driving Onigumo into the ground!

Speed that surpassed visual limits, powerful and fierce burst of strength.

Onigumo was almost completely unable to fight back!

Useless? Always at the bottom of the qualifying exams?

If he was a "useless" person who was always at the bottom of the qualifying exams, what were they?

That was Onigumo, one of the top three in the Training Camp, a monster who was guaranteed to enter the Elite Class!

The trainees in the plaza, as well as the onlookers who had come to watch, fixed their gazes on the young man standing on top of Onigumo.

Bewilderment, shock.

He easily dodged Onigumo's airtight, web-like slashes, proving that Morito's speed absolutely crushed Onigumo's.

Among the onlookers, the sharp-eyed Marine officers could recognize Morito's techniques.

That was clearly the Marine Six Styles' Soru!

It's just that the speed of this Soru was a bit too fast, wasn't it?

Was Morito's Soru the same Soru as the one they practiced? They couldn't even see Morito's silhouette clearly!

On the top floor of the teaching building, Zephyr was also aghast, unable to believe his eyes.

"The Soru from the Marine Six Styles has been cultivated to this level?"

This kid is only fifteen, right?

Zephyr really wanted to tell a joke: Someone learned Soru at fifteen, and it was incredibly fast!

Recalling when he was fifteen, he seemed to have spent his days doing physical training or running errands at Marine Headquarters!

Compared to Zephyr's shock, Garp's reaction was much calmer.

It appeared again, that kind of energy-releasing technique! It was exactly the same as the skill Morito used when testing his Doriki.

Garp's eyes twinkled with sharp light; he was certain it wasn't Armament Haki.

But no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't figure out that the technique Morito used was a skill from Gentle Fist, releasing Chakra from the acupoints all over his body.

Releasing Chakra, condensing Chakra, and then instantly erupting with punches and kicks.

It was an attack that fused speed, inch power, Chakra burst, and many other methods!

In the forest.

Morito looked down at the Onigumo he was stepping on, "Sorry, I thought you were strong, so I went a little harder."

While seemingly apologizing, these unintentional words were actually the most hurtful.

Onigumo snapped out of his shock. In his eyes, Morito's apology, Morito's faint smile, Morito's gaze.

Everything about Morito in front of him seemed to be mocking him!

'I thought you were strong, so I went a little harder.'

'I thought you were strong.'

Morito's words were like a curse imprinted in Onigumo's mind, echoing in his ears.

What about top three in the Training Camp?

What about being pre-selected for the Elite Class?

It was all an illusion!

At this moment, Onigumo felt like the entire world was denying him. The 'blind fool' he looked down on the most was stepping on his head with his foot!

He was being stepped on by Morito!

Morito crouched down and patted Onigumo's face.

"You're not going to tell me you got stupid from the beating, are you?"

"You, are, looking, for, death!"

Onigumo, having regained his senses, had bloodshot eyes, blood surging into his pupils, his eyeballs turning a blood-red like a demon from hell.

WHOOSH!!

A terrifying energy storm erupted from Onigumo.

Sand, leaves, everything around was blown away.

"Armament Haki?"

"My god, Onigumo has mastered Armament Haki!"

"He's not even eighteen yet, is he?"

"How is that possible? Is that guy a genius!"

Everyone stared at Onigumo's figure on the screen in utter shock.

Onigumo unleashed his Armament Haki without restraint, the large sabers held by his eight spider legs covered in a dark, night-like hue.

A sharp, cutting aura emanated from it!

"Not only Armament Haki, but also sword intent!"

"If he continues to grow at this rate, this kid will definitely become a great swordsman in thirty years!"

Among the spectators were many powerful Marine officers with exceptionally keen eyes.

They could see through Onigumo's current state at a glance.

"That little guy named Morito is in danger."

"Let's hope the examiner can stop it in time."

Even so, the Marine officers in the plaza felt that even if they were there, they couldn't easily stop Onigumo.

At this moment, Onigumo was like he'd activated a protagonist's aura and gone berserk.

High energy ahead, extras, small fries, supporting characters, get away quickly!

If you don't run now, you'll get a bento box!

"Spider.Asura Slash!"

Sensing an incredibly fierce and dangerous aura, Morito's expression changed slightly. He immediately gave up on pinning Onigumo down and retreated.

With a whoosh!

Morito turned and darted into the side of the forest.
