Start with Seshomaru form, the strongest ship deputy among all beasts

She has no advantage in any aspect.

If it weren’t for Lin Lei’s special training over the past month.

I'm afraid we're not even qualified to fight this navy!

If this continues...

I'm afraid defeat is inevitable!

But how could she be willing?

“｀ ~ This is my first battle in front of Linley… I can’t lose no matter what!”

Thinking of this, his eyes turned cold, as if he had made up his mind.

So next.

Smoothie seems to have changed his style of play.

Become only able to attack and not defend.

Completely gave up defense.

For a while...

He managed to turn the situation around a little bit.

"..."

Lin Lei, who was watching the battle, saw this.

But he sighed softly.

"It seems that she is a little anxious..."

"good."

Beckman nodded.

Perhaps he subconsciously believed that he and Lin Lei were in the same group.

So when he saw Smoothie's decline, his face was not looking good:

"Only attacking without defending can only gain temporary advantages. Over time, as long as the opponent adapts to this style of play."

"We already have the upper hand, so the situation will be completely irreversible!"

"Indeed."

After all, Gion still has the advantage of age.

It's definitely not comparable to Smoothie at this time.

Of course, Linley had anticipated this.

Naturally, I don't think there will be any surprises.

Anyway, at the beginning, I just wanted to let Smoothie fight more with strong people.

This will be beneficial to growth.

But, in this way.

After that, it was Lin Lei’s turn to take action.

After all, she is my little fan girl.

How much force should I use later?

Just as Linley was lost in thought...

Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in my ear:

[Contract target Smoothie, Armament Haki advanced to intermediate level, 65 times return... Armament Haki (Advanced-Ryu Sakura)]

"???"

Linley was stunned.

Then, disbelief flashed uncontrollably in his eyes.

He wasn't having any difficulty believing that Smoothie's Armament Haki had made a breakthrough during the battle.

But...

　(Qian Liao Zhao) "The contract target's Armament Haki advances to the intermediate level. Can this also be returned?"

Doesn’t it mean that the contract objectives must achieve breakthrough improvements or changes before they can be returned?

Look at the object of the previous contract.

Whether it is Yamato, Black Maria, Jack, or Katakuri.

All of them fully meet the conditions of "breakthrough improvement or change".

For example, Yamato ate the devil fruit and mastered the armament color.

Black Maria's mastery of armament Haki and awakening of observation Haki.

And Jack's mastery of Armament Haki.

They were all created from scratch and fully met the requirements!

As for Katakuri, whether it is "foreseeing the future" or awakening of the fruit, it is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough.

Therefore, it also meets the conditions.

Nasmooth's Armament Haki...

I was only promoted to the intermediate level, why can I get a refund?

Logically speaking, shouldn't one at least be promoted to an Armament Haki like "Ryu Sakura" to meet the requirements?

Although the current armament color has become advanced, and it is still Ryusakura.

But Linley was puzzled.

He opened the system and took a look.

【…】

[Contract Target: Yamato, Black Maria, Jack, Katakuri, Smoothie, Beckman (6/8)]

"One more quota has been added..."

In other words, since his Armament Haki has advanced to a high level, it has met the conditions for a breakthrough improvement.

But when he advanced to the intermediate level.

But no new quota was obtained.

Why doesn't this apply to Smoothie?

"Could it be..."

Linley suddenly thought of something.

Is there a possibility...

Intermediate Armament Haki, is this already a breakthrough improvement for Smoothie?

You know, in the original book.

Even Katakuri has not mastered the advanced level of Armament Haki!

Despite mastering the techniques of hardening, winding and releasing.

But internal destruction is the core of advanced armament color!

"It seems that this is probably the case..."

While thinking.

The battle between Smoothie and Gion finally seemed to have decided the winner...

【064】The snow-white justice is so bright and dazzling!

"I won!"

When the tip of Jinpila's knife finally landed on Smoothie's throat.

The glimmer in her eyes dimmed in an instant.

She really tried her best.

but……

Even with armed color domineering, he can break through in the battle.

Still can't change the outcome of defeat.

For a while.

His face was as lonely as autumn, showing full of loss.

"Why be discouraged?"

Gion sheathed his sword without showing any sense of satisfaction as a winner.

"When I was your age, I was not as good as you."

"Now, I just take advantage of my age."

"If we were the same age, I might not be your opponent!"

See your opponent offer words of comfort.

Smoothie's eyes softened unconsciously when he looked at Gion.

But among them, there is still a flicker of perseverance and indomitable spirit:

"If I lose, I lose. I won't find excuses to make myself feel at ease to accept the failure!"

Having said that, he returned to Linley’s side dejectedly.

"She's right..."

"There was already a certain gap between you two, so it's not surprising that you lost."

"Besides, you didn't gain anything, did you?"

In addition to recognizing your own shortcomings.

While still in battle, he broke through the Armament Haki.

This battle is a win no matter how you look at it!

"But... I still lost."

"Victory and defeat are common in the military. The strong grow by constantly losing until they defeat their former opponents!"

Beckman also spoke to comfort him:

“I guess it must be Lin Lei who has also been defeated before?”

"good."

"what?"

After hearing this, Smoothie finally felt less disappointed.

But at the same time, one can’t help but wonder who can defeat Linley.

Gion nearby had the same reaction.

The two asked almost at the same time:

"Who did you lose to?" X "Uh..."

Seeing that I just said this casually, the two of them took it seriously.

Linley was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Kaido."

"When I left Onigashima, I was no match for him!"

Beckman: "..."
