Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku couldn't sit still after feeling the sharpness of this Sword Intent.
Soon, the Sengoku received the news.
Upon learning the whole story, Sengoku looked astonished, then gave a wry smile, sat there rubbing his forehead, looking quite troubled. He hadn't expected Uya to go and duel with those lieutenant generals; this was proving difficult to handle.
However, this kind of imposing presence seems to be on par with that of Hawk-Eye.
The thought that Uya's power could repel Garp, that his Devil Fruit ability was something even Kizaru was extremely wary of, and that his swordsmanship was so terrifying that it was comparable to Hawk-Eye's, made Sengoku feel inexplicably tense.
It's nothing if you don't think about it carefully, but once you do, it becomes terrifying!
There are many people with extremely powerful Devil Fruit abilities on the sea, as are those with exceptional swordsmanship and immense strength.
However, the fact that three powers are concentrated in one person, and all of them are at a near-top level, is somewhat terrifying, Sengoku feel a little uneasy.
At this moment, even Sengoku was finding it hard to estimate just how strong Uya really was!
"Fortunately, that guy's Haki doesn't seem very strong. During his month at Marine Headquarters, he seems to be still learning the techniques of Armament Haki. However, learning Armament Haki isn't easy, and even if he does, he won't become very strong overnight."
Sengoku felt a little relieved when he thought of the last important ability: Haki. If Uya was also extremely proficient in Haki and almost at the top level, then that would be truly terrifying.
Perhaps Whitebeard's title as the World's Strongest Man might change hands!
Whitebeard didn't know how much of Sengoku strength Whitebeard could retain now that he was old, but Sengoku knew very well what kind of power Whitebeard possessed at his peak!
Because he and Garp fought Whitebeard more than once, the reason why they Garp have extremely strong physiques is that they are the former Fleet Admiral and the current Fleet Admiral Kong the Steel Bone. The reason is that people with slightly weaker physiques can hardly withstand Whitebeard's punches.
At his peak, Whitebeard was at the pinnacle of speed, strength, and stamina. Haki was also perfectly refined, and his Devil Fruit ability was extremely powerful. He was at the top in every aspect, standing at the very top of this sea.
That's why he has the title of the World's Strongest Man.
This title wasn't self-proclaimed; it was earned through hard work and is universally acknowledged by the sea!
Now, suddenly, such a young Uya has appeared, and he actually has the qualifications to shake Whitebeard's position. How could this not alarm Sengoku?
However, in Sengoku's view, Uya's Haki seems to be a weakness. If his Haki is not strong enough, even if he is strong in the other three aspects, he is not considered a top-level powerhouse. He is probably still some distance away from being the strongest in the world.
In that case, it's still within an acceptable range.
In the lounge.
Uya, alone with his sword, stood firm in the center, defeating Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals in succession. By the end, most of those Marine Headquarters were ready to admit defeat.
Many felt bitter, knowing they were no match for Uya, but the Marine Headquarters Admiral, a swordsman, could not avoid the battle.
Firstly, as swordsmen and vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters, they held high positions and were renowned sword masters throughout the seas. Each of them had their own strengths in swordsmanship, and almost all of them were fearless and unyielding.
Secondly, these lieutenant generals were indeed amazed by Uya's swordsmanship, and each of them wanted to experience it for themselves. Even though they knew they would lose, they still chose to fight Uya.
If they don't even dare to fight, what right do they have to remain vice admirals? They might as well just go home and retire.
All the naval officers below the rank of vice admiral refrained from challenging Uya; only the vice admirals from the Marine Headquarters fought against Uya.
The number of vice admirals in the Marine Headquarters was not large. Each of them could withstand a dozen or so sword strikes, or a few less. They were defeated after only two or three sword strikes, and they all took turns fighting quickly.
Finally, the last Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral was defeated by Uya. Sensing Uya's terrifying Sword Intent, which was so sharp that it seemed to solidify into a tangible form, the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral was completely impressed.
This time, everyone was convinced.
The gaze directed at Uya no longer held the previous resentment and displeasure, but instead revealed a hint of awe and respect.
On this vast ocean, the strong are respected. This white-robed youth, Uya, is clearly not some arrogant brat, but an absolute powerhouse!
The vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters were all impressed, while the ordinary navy personnel who had gathered to watch, even crowding at the entrance, only gradually came to their senses after the last vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters was defeated.
Everyone exchanged glances, and they could all see the disbelief in each other's eyes, an expression of utter disbelief, as if it were a dream.
All the vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters were defeated?!
One person defeated all the vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters —what an incredible thing!
Even excluding the hero Garp, this is still incredibly shocking, because Uya's rank is only Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, not Admiral!
Without a doubt, at this Uya, if we exclude the hero Garp, Yuya is already ranked number one among the vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters!
Moreover, it wasn't a victory by a narrow margin, but a first place that crushed everyone else and far surpassed all others!
At this moment, an idea finally popped into someone's mind.
Is Uya's strength comparable to that of a Marine Admiral?!
The moment this thought surfaced, almost everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they immediately shook their heads in disapproval.
However, only the Admirals could single-handedly overwhelm all the Vice Admirals of the Marine Headquarters!
This Uya, who looks no more than twenty years old, actually possesses strength nearly comparable to a Marine Admiral?!
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes showed a hint of disbelief. Marine Headquarters Admiral, that's the highest combat power of the Marine Headquarters, a true powerhouse standing at the pinnacle!
Most people still couldn't believe it; they preferred to believe that Uya's strength was only slightly weaker than that of all the other vice admirals.
After all, the Admirals of the Marine Headquarters, also known as the Marine Headquarters' highest combat power, are almost a kind of faith, the flag of the Navy!
"He doesn't seem to know how to use Haki, that's his only weakness," a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral who had been defeated by Uya muttered.
"Yes, if he could use Haki, even if he didn't need to be very strong, just proficient, he could probably rival an admiral," another lieutenant general said in a deep voice. (To be continued.)
