Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

The relaxed look on his face turned into solemnity, New Jersey's body tensed up and he turned to look in the direction where the pressure came from.

"Hahaha, this is interesting. I thought everyone in Atlantis was a weakling."

"Is it Temparans or something else? Who cares? I'll know after I go and take a look."

With a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, New Jersey exerted force with his right leg, created a big hole in the crystalline ground, and quickly rushed towards the powerful enemy.

Soon, a pale figure appeared in New Jersey's sight.

Her long silver-gray hair fluttered in the wind, her tight black leather jacket outlined her beautiful figure, her white legs were wearing metal boots, her beautiful face had a wild smile on it, and lanterns emitting faint light and flames surrounded her body.

Seeing New Jersey's rampaging figure, a ship suit covered with barbs emerged behind the pale figure, and laughed loudly: "Arbitrator Hermit, I come here in compliance with Master Zero's orders."

"New Jersey, you are the strongest ship girl that Antix has observed in various test sites. Just one encounter caused Tempalans to suffer considerable injuries..."

"It will be very troublesome for the rest of your companions in Atlantis. I have no choice but to ask you to leave first."

Stopping in front of Hermit, New Jersey raised his hand and asked with a strange expression: "Wait, don't do it yet."

"Didn't we agree that Tempalans would be our opponent? Besides, Hu Teng and Qianwei aren't here, are you Sirens planning to cheat?"

New Jersey's question stunned Hermit. She thought for a while and said calmly, "I was only temporarily arranged by Master Zero to be your opponent. I don't know anything else."

"A temporary arrangement..."

Taking a few steps back, New Jersey unfolded the magnetic wheel, bowed with both hands and said, "Okay, I understand, let's get started now."

Seeing that New Jersey had no sense of urgency at all, Hermit frowned, wondering if there was something wrong with this guy. Not only did he not have the nervousness before the battle, he also seemed not to take his words seriously.

Or does she think she is not a threat at all?

Thinking of this, Hermit did not hesitate any longer and immediately raised the main gun, and six beams of light rushed towards New Jersey.

Unlike the Breaker and Tester α, the Arbiter's beam bombardment does not require concentrated energy and is more powerful, with a burnt smell filling the air along the way.

Before New Jersey could even blink, the beam passed over her head and hit the towering crystal columns.

‘Boom——’

There was an explosion, and the powerful shock wave blew New Jersey's hair away, and his white windbreaker also shook violently.

When the noise died down, New Jersey 'quietly' looked back, only to see that the crystal columns had disappeared, leaving only the hole on the ground and the white smoke that continued to be emitted.

"I'm just giving you a warning this time. You won't be so lucky next time. Just pray that I don't hit you."

Hearing Hermit's timely threat, New Jersey looked at his own ship equipment, then looked at the opponent's ship equipment, and curled his lips in disappointment.

Comparison is the thief of joy. She also wants her main gun to be able to fire beams. Kinetic weapons are not as cool as energy weapons.

However, Hermit's warning also made New Jersey confirm one thing, that is, do not engage in long-distance combat with these arbitrators.

They have both beams and missiles. If you are confident in your own ship equipment, you will only hurt yourself.

New Jersey took off his coat, folded his arms across his chest, and said calmly, "You won't have a chance to hit me, because you won't have a chance to use your ship suit next time."

With a sneer, Hermit said nonchalantly: "Do you think that being the strongest ship girl means you are strong? Next, I will show you the difference between the Arbitrator and you..."

Before he could finish, Hermit felt a sharp pain on the right side of his face, and then he flew backwards. After flying dozens of meters in the air, he smashed a big hole in the crystalline ground.

Putting down his fist, New Jersey said slowly: "This is a counterattack to what you did just now. I told you that you will no longer have the opportunity to use the ship suit..."

What Miss Rabbit is most proud of is not her main gun or her abilities, but her power to crush her opponents in close combat.

Chapter 271 Strong Confrontation

"Tsk..."

Slowly standing up from the pit, Hermit spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling the right face hit by New Jersey, and numbers flowed rapidly from his eyes.

"Not deploying the shield caused 7% damage to the body... Is that guy's fist that hard?"

Looking at New Jersey gradually approaching him, Hermit's expression was solemn, and his eyes revealed a strong desire to fight.

Even if it was just a data projection, this data space could perfectly simulate its own combat power and could hurt the Arbitrator without using ship equipment. New Jersey, the "strongest ship girl", was even more powerful than they had imagined.

However, in terms of biological class, the Ship Girls are far inferior to their Antikes. In terms of ability modules, the Arbiter is more than one level stronger than the Ship Girls.

Thinking of this, Hermit raised the corners of his mouth, retracted his ship suit, and shouted to New Jersey: "I admit that I underestimated you just now, but..."

"You will definitely regret fighting the Arbiter in close combat!"

Before he finished speaking, the already cracked crystalline ground beneath Hermit's feet sank a little deeper, and a deafening whistling sound was heard.

A wave of air burst out from behind Hermit, tearing through the air and quickly coming in front of New Jersey.

"So fast!"

Before New Jersey could react, she felt a heavy blow to her abdomen, and her body involuntarily arched slightly downward.

She didn't see Hermit's movements at all...

At this moment, a strong sound of wind came into New Jersey's ears, and instinctively, she put her hands in front of herself.

A powerful force came, and New Jersey let out a muffled groan. Then the whole person was blown hundreds of meters away, and the upright crystals were shattered one by one.

"This is the Arbitrator!? This is much stronger than I thought..."

Flying backwards in the air, the secondary damage of the shattered crystal did not make New Jersey feel any pain. Instead, it made her warlike heart burn even more fiercely, and she stared at Hermit.

At this moment, Hermit's figure disappeared without a sound. Just when New Jersey was confused, the cold words behind her made her pupils dilate.

"New Jersey, where are you looking at?"

Before he could adjust his posture in mid-air, New Jersey was bleeding from his mouth and was knocked flying again, suffering continuous attacks in the air.

Just like playing table tennis, Hermit kept intercepting and hitting New Jersey like a storm.

Unlike Empres, Arbitrator Hermit doesn't say much in battle. No matter how strong or weak the opponent is, he will go all out. His fighting philosophy is to be merciless and will not give the opponent any time to breathe.

"Ah this..."

Looking through the light screen at New Jersey being toyed with by Hermit like a rag doll, Xia Bai scratched his face in embarrassment.

He was just boasting that New Jersey could definitely kill Arbitrator Hermit, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.

Blowing a few breaths into Xia Bai's face, Chi Cheng laughed as if a prank had succeeded and said, "Hehehe, dear, you are too confident."

Everyone already knew that the "death" in Atlantis was not the real "death". Akagi didn't care about the duel between New Jersey and Hermit at all. He stuck to Xia Bai and did some slightly romantic actions.

Being somewhat distracted by Chicheng's breath, Xia Bai put his arm around her waist and whispered, "Stop doing these little moves, just watch."

Xia Bai was a little restrained when there were outsiders around. After all, he still had to maintain some dignity. If Enpress wasn't around, he would have to teach this vixen Akagi a lesson.

"What's there to see... New Jersey has fallen behind and will be outside to keep us company soon."

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to the expression on that arrogant 'strongest ship girl''s face when she sees us after she gets defeated."

After gently tapping Chicheng's head, Xia Bai pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Why are you trying to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? What good will it do us if New Jersey loses?"

"I'm reminding you, don't think you can cause chaos just because you're a Red Fox. If you keep saying such hurtful things, I will never forgive you... Forget it, you won't listen anyway."

Seeing Akagi sticking out her tongue and looking at him coquettishly, Xia Bai covered his face with his hands and focused his gaze back on the light screen.

The commander's authority is a two-way thing. Xia Bai always lacks the courage to face his wedding ship, but Kaga is okay, at least he is obedient.

But a marriage ship like Akagi, who knows his bottom line very well and has his own little ideas, can control him very well.

"Because I have already died in battle, a dead person should fulfill his duty as a dead person and not express his opinions on the battle."

After hearing what Chicheng said, Xia Bai twitched his lips and said helplessly: "You are really open-minded. Look at how nervous Cheshire is."

Since seeing that New Jersey was at a disadvantage and had no power to fight back, Cheshire put his hands on the ground, arched his body and made a furry cat pose, as if he wanted to rush into Atlantis to support New Jersey.

I was so nervous, but this move was funny...

"Don't worry about the battle inside. Akagi, you should be worried about whether I will be captured by Zero. Aren't you afraid that if New Jersey loses, the Vanguard will also lose?"

"Best of three, if they lose, don't they still have Dear and the other partners, or does Dear not have the confidence to beat Empres?"

Glancing at Empres who was sitting on the top of the tower, Xia Bai patted his chest and said, "Look, she doesn't even have the courage to fight me now. Is there any need to talk about victory or defeat based on confidence?"

"Hey...I heard what you said."

Although he seemed to be waiting for the equipment to be delivered, in fact, Enpress had already pricked up his ears to listen to what Xia Bai and the others were saying.

In fact, Enpress wanted to join the discussion in his heart, but due to his status and position, he was not bold enough.

Overall, Xia Bai's strength has far exceeded that of the Arbitrator. Facing a strong man, Enpress still has a certain respect for him.

Otherwise, as soon as he belittled his own strength and mocked his own courage, Empress would have taken action.

"Sorry, I'll try to keep my voice down next time."

Giving a perfunctory smile to Empress, Xia Bai held Akagi with one arm and Sheffield with the other and continued to watch the battle between New Jersey and Hermit.

......

After being knocked down several times, the situation changed again.

Although still at a disadvantage, New Jersey was no longer as powerless as before. When Hermit appeared beside him and attacked, he was ready to be hit and even had the strength to fight back.

However, due to the opponent's too fast speed, New Jersey's counterattacks always missed. Fortunately, her eyes have become accustomed to the opponent's speed.

In a short while at most, the counterattack will begin.

Chapter 272: Frustrated Again

The battle continues.

Even though I still couldn't see Hermit's movements clearly, I could at least roughly understand how he moved.

Unlike what New Jersey thought, the opponent did not simply rely on speed. Instead, when moving at high speed, his body would be covered with emerald green airflow, and his entire body turned into a gust of wind.

Sensing the howling wind around him, New Jersey's eyes flashed a gleam of light, and he raised his right elbow and poked backwards hard.

"Well!?"

A muffled sound was heard, and New Jersey's attack hit Hermit steadily.

"I've seen the way you move!"

After saying that, New Jersey clasped Hermit's waist with both hands, swung her around from behind, and threw her out.

Taking advantage of this brief respite, New Jersey finally landed on the ground, his body sinking slightly, his eyes fixed on Hermit in the distance, and he shouted in a low voice: "Turning into the wind... is your ability module as an arbitrator."

After flipping in the air, Hermit calmly landed on the crystal and said indifferently: "According to the 'fair' agreement, I can tell you the ability module."

One hand turned into a blazing flame, and the other turned into ice crystals that chilled the bones. Hermit grinned and said, "Changing my body to achieve an energy posture is my ability module."

"Oh, in your more fashionable terms, this is called 'elementalization'."

Arbitrators are all very versatile because of the need for combat, but there is still one aspect that they stand out from the rest. Hermit's outstanding aspect is close combat.

Her ability module can only transform herself into energy, not others into energy, let alone control energy.

This single-function ability module is not as powerful as other arbitrators in large-scale combat, but in one-on-one combat, she is firmly in the top three in the arbitration agency.

"Haha, that was just an appetizer. Now it's time to get serious."

After saying that, Hermit appeared in front of New Jersey with arcs of electricity on her body. It was only at this time that she heard Hermit's words.

Instinctively, New Jersey turned around and swung her fist, but there was no real feeling that she hit the target. The moment she swung her fist, Hermit had disappeared.

"It's rare to fight with a ship girl, so I'll talk to you for a few more words."

As if to show off his speed, Hermit appeared dozens of meters away from New Jersey, holding his shoulders with both hands and said, "Thunder is faster than wind, don't blink next time."

Arcs of electricity flashed, and Hermit appeared in front of New Jersey, orange fireworks bursting from his eyes, and he threw a punch.

This time, let alone a shadow, New Jersey only felt a black screen before his eyes, and he was knocked away. After being hit this time, his body showed an obvious sense of stagnation, and numbness and soreness spread throughout the body through the brain.

Lightning enchantment, no moral principles.

Falling heavily to the ground, New Jersey saw stars and wanted to get up immediately, but the numbness from being struck by lightning prevented her from getting up.

"Ahem... this is really... embarrassing. There really is no weak arbitrator."

With the crisp sound of the iron blood hitting the ground, Hermit slowly walked to New Jersey and said in a cold voice: "This is natural. As a specialized combat agency, the Arbitrator is stronger than you think."

"You think we are weak, but we are just influenced by Xia Bai...but that is his power, not yours."

"Shipgirls are very different from us Antix. This is a recognition of life forms. Even if you are the best among shipgirls, your strength has even surpassed the identity of 'shipgirl'."

"If you were facing other arbitrators, you might be able to defeat them with your superb close combat skills, but unfortunately, you met me."

Reaching out and grabbing New Jersey's hair and lifting her up, Hermit's ship suit emerged behind her, with light emitting from the barbed gun barrels.

"Let's end this battle here... I didn't expect the strongest ship girl to be like this. I wasted a lot of my time."
