Sword blossoms danced in the air, like countless silver cherry blossoms scattering everywhere. Petals landed in front of Uya, but were all blocked by Uya's nimble golden sword.
No matter how much Onigumo increased his strength and speed, or even pushed his swordsmanship to its limit, he still couldn't shake Uya's sword.
Uya, alone with just one sword, effortlessly blocked the attack of eight swords with a casual flourish.
"Impossible, impossible..."
Onigumo's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes held a look of disbelief. He had used all his strength, but he couldn't even make Uya take a single step back. How could the difference in strength be so great?!
It should be noted that Uya did not launch an attack from beginning to end, but only passively parried. However, he stood there like an insurmountable mountain, and no matter what methods he used, he could not budge him in the slightest.
How could Uya be so strong?!
Onigumo couldn't accept it. In his view, even if Hawk-Eye were standing here, even if he couldn't beat Hawk-Eye, there couldn't be such a huge gap between them.
His fight with Uya was like a child fighting an adult. No matter how hard the child struggled, the adult could simply reach out and grab him.
Damn it!!!
Unable to accept it, Onigumo gritted his teeth, let out a furious roar, and then suddenly took a few steps back before arranging his eight swords in a sword flower formation and charging towards Uya once again.
shave!!
This time, even the stone floor showed signs of cracking under his feet, indicating that he had used the full power of the Marine Six Powers, specifically the Shave and Rescue.
Moreover, it wasn't just about using shaving!
As a vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters, he is proficient in shaving and can naturally incorporate the Marine Six Powers into his swordsmanship to create even stronger moves.
" Ten-Sword Style... Flowers bloom, then vanish!"
It wasn't just the eight swords of the spider's eight legs; it also incorporated the slash of the Rankyaku from the Marine Six Powers, forming ten slashes in an instant. These slashes spun and merged, their sword energy crisscrossing like a blooming flower, Setsuna!
Almost instantly, Onigumo's figure rushed past Uya and landed behind Uya, standing motionless in a pose as if he had just used his ultimate move.
The countless sword energies Sword Radiance vanished in an instant, Setsuna, gone in a flash.
At this time, the Marine Headquarters lounge was no longer only occupied by the vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters, but also by other officers and even ordinary marines who had come after hearing the news.
Seeing this scene, these ordinary navy men couldn't help but swallow hard and subconsciously speak up.
"What terrifying swordsmanship! Has Onigumo already won?"
"Who is that young man? He actually managed to force Onigumo to use his ultimate move. But it should be over by now."
Uya had only recently joined the Navy and had barely left the premises. Not only did these ordinary Navy personnel not know Uya, but even few Vice Admirals recognized him.
Moreover, that last move was clearly a very powerful one from Onigumo. In the eyes of these people, it was impossible for Uya, this young guy, to withstand Vice Onigumo's ultimate move.
However, just as these ordinary navy officers were discussing this, a vice admiral from the Marine Headquarters standing at the front overheard their conversation, suddenly shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "No, Onigumo has lost."
This sentence immediately silenced the discussions among the ordinary naval personnel, who all looked astonished.
Vice Onigumo lost?!
What the hell is this?!
These ordinary sailors almost all looked on with surprise and disbelief, but in the next moment, the change in the scene instantly attracted everyone's attention and left everyone looking on incredulously.
Click!
A crisp sound, like steel breaking, echoed clearly.
Under the shocked and incredulous gazes of all the ordinary marines, the eight swords that Onigumo, who was behind Uya, was holding cracked almost simultaneously, and then suddenly shattered!
The eight broken swords shattered and scattered fragments. At the same time, a bloody gash suddenly appeared on Onigumo's body, and blood splattered Setsuna!
Thump!
His body swayed, and unable to maintain his stance, Onigumo collapsed to the ground with a thud, a look of disbelief still lingering in his eyes.
He actually lost!
What Onigumo found hard to believe was not that he had lost, but that he hadn't been able to make Uya move an inch from beginning to end!
Even his strongest move, Uya took it without moving an inch. From the start of their Uya, Uya stood there without moving an inch!
What a huge difference!
How could the difference be so big?!
Onigumo struggled to his feet, looked at the bloodstains on his body, and a bitter expression crossed his face.
This scar was as if he had run into Uya blade. It was something he had never encountered in his battles across the seas and all the way to this day!
At this moment, not only the defeated Onigumo, but almost all the Vice Admirals of the Marine Headquarters, including Momonga, wore solemn expressions.
Among the vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters, Onigumo wasn't considered top-tier, but he wasn't the weakest either. Yet, in front of Uya, he didn't even have the right to make Uya move an inch!
"This, this... Onigumo actually lost?!"
"Who is that young man? He actually managed to defeat Onigumo!"
The ordinary marines who didn't recognize Uya were almost in an uproar.
Even now, they find it hard to believe that a dignified Vice Onigumo of the Marine Headquarters, Onigumo, had lost to such a young guy.
Who exactly is that young man in white?!
"What a powerful sword..."
Finally, Vice Momonga, his face grave, slowly spoke, saying in a deep voice, "I have never seen such domineering swordsmanship. Is it that as long as one is slightly stronger, it is an absolute crushing defeat?"
Upon hearing Vice Admiral Momonga's words, Uya turned her head, glanced at him, and her eyes flickered slightly.
Uya still had a vague impression of this Vice Admiral Momonga; he seemed to be the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral who resisted Empress Hancock's charm by self-harming.
Upon hearing Vice Admiral Momonga's words, the other Vice Admirals from the Marine Headquarters, whose brows had been furrowed, relaxed, revealing expressions of understanding.
So that's how it is!
"No wonder Onigumo lost so badly. Otherwise, even Hawk-Eye, the strongest swordsman, wouldn't have been able to stand still and take all the attacks."
Lieutenant General Strawberry suddenly realized something. In fact, he had also seen some of the secret, but not as clearly as the Momonga. After the Momonga reminded him, he immediately understood.
Among the Vice Admirals of the Marine Headquarters present, there were almost none who were weak. Even those who were relatively weak were at least well-informed and experienced. After being reminded by Momonga, they basically all understood.
Seeing the lieutenant generals in the arena regain their composure after their solemn expressions, Uya glanced calmly at Lieutenant General Momonga and said, "Now that you understand my swordsmanship, then... how about we have a little spar?"
At this point, Uya paused slightly, glanced at the other vice admirals, and then said calmly, "By the way, it's not that I'm targeting you specifically, but all the vice admirals here... how about we have a friendly spar?!"
These two sentences, spoken casually by Uya, were like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil, instantly causing the entire room to boil over!
Almost everyone was stunned for a moment, then erupted in an uproar.
The ordinary marines behind them widened their eyes instantly, all showing expressions of near disbelief. Even Vice Admiral Momonga and the others were astonished.
One person challenging all lieutenant generals?!
Is this a joke?!
Even though Uya just defeated Onigumo without any injury, it's still incredibly arrogant for him to challenge all the Vice Admirals of the Marine Headquarters alone!
He only defeated one vice admiral, yet he dares to challenge all vice admirals? That's utterly outrageous! Who does he think he is, a Marine Admiral?! (To be continued.)
