Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2464 Onigumo's Appreciation, Dissatisfaction, and Recommendation!
really.

Dalmesia faced Nahashu's violent water slash.

There was no sign of them moving at all.

He simply raised his right hand, which was covered in Armament Haki, with a calm expression.

The index finger and thumb extend forward seemingly casually.

"Click————"

That flowing sword light, powerful enough to cut through gold and jade, contained the essence of a great swordsman.

Dalmesia, in full view of everyone, precisely pinched it between his fingertips with two fingers.

No matter how fiercely the water surged, it was as if it had crashed into an unshakeable mountain, unable to advance even an inch further.

The pitch-black aura clashed fiercely with the blue-glowing water, producing a teeth-grinding friction sound.

Until the indifferent Dalmesia slightly tightened his fingers.

[Crack! 】

A crisp sound, like glass shattering, rang out.

The incredibly solid water slash was actually crushed by his pure finger strength.

It instantly exploded into a chaotic spray of water that drizzled down onto the entire venue.

"The technique is passable, but the strength is too weak," Dalmesia commented coldly.

The voice just fell.

An aura several times more terrifying than before erupted from his body.

Dalmesia's muscles began to swell violently, as if being inflated.

Fortunately, the fabric of the garment is almost fully malleable, so it will not tear again.

His head quickly took on the characteristics of a spotted dog, with an elongated muzzle, sharp teeth, and pointed ears.

Its size has increased dramatically to nearly five meters.

He was surrounded by a tangible dark red aura and jet-black flame cloud ribbons.

It is savage, ferocious, and exudes an oppressive aura of absolute power.

Like a tsunami, a spiritual aura swept across the entire dueling arena.

Nahashu, on the other side, immediately felt his breath catch in his throat, muttering to himself, "Zoan-type awakening."

【Whoosh! 】

Dalmesia suddenly made a move, and its massive figure instantly became blurred.

"So fast—"

Its speed was somewhat beyond the range of Nahshu's Observation Haki.

next moment.

Dalmesia had appeared like a ghost on Nahashu's flank.

"Fingergun. Spot!"

His right index finger, covered in the glow of 'Flowing Cherry Blossoms', struck at Nahash's vital points like a sudden storm.

They were so fast they tore through the air, creating continuous sonic booms.
"Life flows and cycles!"

Nahashu's pupils contracted slightly, but he remained calm in the face of danger, immediately combining the essence of water breathing, paper drawing techniques, and the perception of Observation Haki.

Her nimble body swayed as gently as a willow catkin in water, narrowly avoiding most of the finger guns.

however.

Although he managed to deflect several of the finger guns with the sword's edge, which covered the water flow, greatly weakening their force, they still sent him staggering back several meters, his blood churning.

"It's really amazing!"

Nahashu felt a chill run down his spine.

The opponent's speed and strength are extremely terrifying.

At the same time, the sword in his hand immediately changed its move, drawing an arc of water.

At the same time, it was aimed at Dalmesia.

A dozen or so flexible water whips suddenly appeared around him, attempting to entangle and restrain Dalmesia's movements.

"Black Wrist. Heavy Torrent!"

Dalmesia let out a low shout, still neither dodging nor flinching, his fist blasting out like a heavy cannon.

A powerful, domineering aura accompanied by a visible shockwave that spread out with a thunderous roar.

It shattered all the incoming water whips in mid-air!
The terrifying pressure of the fist pressed down head-on, causing Nahash to feel suffocated once again.

"Shizuku Ripple Strike!"

He concentrated all his strength, domineering aura, and control over the water flow into a single point at the tip of his sword.

The moment the sword tip pierced through, it seemed as if ripples spread through the very space.

This is the ultimate example of breaking through the surface with a single point.

【boom----】

The moment the sword tip collided with the fist, a deafening roar erupted.

Nahash felt an irresistible force traveling along the sword.

His tiger's mouth split open on the spot, bleeding profusely.
He was thrown backward as if he had been hit by a speeding train.

He slammed heavily against the magic barrier at the end of the dueling arena, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"The difference...is it really that big?"

Nahshu struggled to his feet, kneeling on one knee, the light of the 'Neptune Sword' in his hand dimming slightly.

But Dalmesia gave him no chance to catch his breath.

The figure disappeared again.

They launched a fierce offensive, like a raging storm.

Nahshu can only rely on his exquisite swordsmanship, mastery of Haki, and the true level of Water Breathing.

They struggled to stay afloat using techniques such as the Imperial Armor's Water Armor, Mirage, and Water Vapor Explosion.

The entire battle was completely one-sided.

He was completely on the defensive, his body was covered in wounds, and his appearance gradually became disheveled.

His skill, domineering aura, swordsmanship, and Imperial Arms abilities.

Before Dalmesia, who transformed into streaks of afterimages and attacked from all directions, they appeared so pale and powerless.

The other party always manages to crush any means of my actions in the most direct and domineering way.

【Boom! 】

"Kid, aren't you going to give up yet?"

Dalmesia struck Nahash again, slamming him against the magic barrier, and asked in a deep voice.

"You should realize that my strength has long surpassed the level of a lieutenant general. Just consider it bad luck."

"Cough cough."

Nahashu stood up shakily, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes remained calm, yet burned with an indomitable flame.

"Admiral Onigumo taught me that there are no cowards in the World Government's army who retreat without a fight!"

As he spoke, he gripped the hilt of the 'Namiha Sword' tightly with both hands, continuously channeling most of his remaining physical and mental strength into this Imperial Arm.

"Secret technique!"

"Summon the Abyss Dragon God! He descends!"

The humidity inside the dueling arena suddenly and drastically increased.

The core of the 'Neptune Sword' erupted with an unprecedented azure light.

The pair of dragon wings on the sword guard seemed to come alive.

In an instant.

A colossal dragon composed of extremely compressed, high-pressure water, surrounded by electric arcs.

As it roared, it materialized and manifested behind Nahshu.

"Is this your strongest power?"

"Not bad move, but unfortunately, you yourself are too weak."

Dalmesia looked at the majestic water dragon with an unwavering gaze.

"Fine, then I'll show you my full power."

Consider this a way for you to experience a higher level of combat power firsthand.

After saying that, he took a deep breath, and his muscles in his human-beast form expanded again, while the black cloud bands moved even without wind.

A crackling, silvery-white current flickered and coiled around his body.

“Moon Lion, no… no!” Nahashu immediately dismissed this absurd idea.

Dalmesia looks too much like a mink.

"The third stage of life's return."

Onigumo, standing off the field, muttered to himself, "You've gotten ahead of me."

Dalmesia, standing in the arena, roared: "Electric current propulsion. Thirty million volts!"

"Secret Technique: Lightning Flame: Dalmatian!"

He transformed his Armament Haki into flowing cherry blossoms and the lightning power generated by the electric current.

Extremely compressed and concentrated at the tip of the right index finger.

This energy was so concentrated that even the surrounding light was slightly distorted.

A blinding incandescent flash of electricity erupted from the fingertips, which were as black as ink yet wreathed in purple light.

At the same time, it emitted a sharp, hissing sound like a thousand birds singing in unison.

[Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle————]

Dalmesia's figure transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot out instantly, piercing through the so-called Abyss Dragon God.

There was no confrontation whatsoever.

Nahashu's desperate secret technique was completely shattered by his finger, turning into a torrential downpour that rained down from the sky.

Dalmesia turned around and looked at Nahashu, who was kneeling on one knee, supporting his body with his sword blade, his body charred black, his tattered military uniform stained with blood, and who had already lost consciousness.

When the suspended ball device announces the result of the game.

The medical team, which had been waiting for a long time, quickly entered the scene the moment the magic barrier was lifted.

But Onigumo moved quickly, appearing beside Nahash in a flash.

After confirming that there was no danger to his life, I breathed a sigh of relief.

He then looked at Dalmesia, who was walking towards him.

"You went a little too far."

Onigumo's tone was flat, but those familiar with him could detect a hint of dissatisfaction.

Having returned to normal human form and dissipated the electric current, Dalmesia shook his head and laughed, "Oni Spider, you're a good lieutenant."

“His strength far exceeds that of a colonel, and many junior generals might not be able to handle him. I think he deserves the rank of lieutenant general.”

"And you taught him swordsmanship, didn't you?"

Onigumo snorted coldly, but his expression softened considerably: "Do you even need to tell me that?"

"After this assessment, he will inevitably become a major general, but I will do my best to recommend him for promotion to lieutenant general."

"Losing to you was not due to a lack of fighting spirit."

"Ha ha ha ha----"

Dalmesia threw his head back and laughed heartily, patting Oni Spider on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I will also vote in favor."
