The calm East China Sea, with its desolate, uninhabited islands.
Big Bear stood silently watching from a distance, keeping Koushirou company.
"Mr. Big Bear, how long do you think my disciple can hold out against the dragon?" Koushirou asked casually, a long sword slung over his waist.
Big Bear shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not know.
In the middle of the island, Monkey D. Dragon, wearing a dark green coat, was stretching his arms and legs.
"Come on, let me test your recent progress in physical skills," Monkey D. Dragon challenged.
"Want to compete in physical skills? Fine, let's compete in physical skills and abilities." After saying that, Zhang Bairen unfastened the Rebellious Blade from his waist.
“There’s no need for that. Whether it’s physical skills or swordsmanship, you can use them as you please,” Monkey D. Dragon said.
"It's alright, I'll use my swordsmanship when I can't hold on any longer." After saying that, Zhang Bairen immediately threw a punch.
"It's starting!" Koushirou muttered to himself.
Big Bear remained expressionless, silently watching the sparring match.
"Very good, your speed is up to standard!"
At this moment, the dragon's hands had turned pure black.
"Fist Bone - Meteorite!"
This is Garp's technique, and also one of the physical techniques taught by Monkey D. Dragon.
Upon seeing this punch, Long's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
The old man's moves always reminded him of some unpleasant memories.
However, Zhang Bairen's learning ability was simply too strong.
After teaching Dragon Claw Fist, there wasn't much other physical training to teach, so he had to use his father's moves to deal with Zhang Bairen, who was eager to learn.
"Dragon Claw Fist - Dragon's Breath!"
The dragon's hands were covered in jet-black Armament Haki, and then it used its self-created Dragon Claw Fist to meet Zhang Bairen's Fist Bone Meteor.
Boom!!
The clash of fists and claws was an extremely powerful attack.
In an instant, a terrifying explosion occurred out of nowhere.
The dragon, due to unforeseen circumstances, nearly suffered a broken arm and was severely injured.
How did this kid suddenly acquire such terrifying power?!
Could it be that this kid is actually the old man in disguise?!
The dragon's body transformed into a humanoid meteor, crashing into and toppling trees with its powerful impact.
Soon, Monkey D. Dragon, who had withstood the immense force of a million tons, returned with trembling arms.
Fortunately, I used to suffer sudden attacks from Garp's iron fist of love.
This is why the dragon was able to react in time and use stronger Armament Haki to enhance the defensive capabilities of its arms.
"Bai Ren, are you trying to cripple me?" The dragon's tone remained gentle.
"Haha, Mr. Long, are you surprised by this punch?" After saying that, Zhang Bairen threw another series of heavy punches as fast as lightning.
"Fist Bone - Meteor Shower!"
Long looked somewhat dazed, as if he saw the shadow of his old father in Zhang Bairen.
"This kid is a martial arts genius!" This thought popped into Long's mind.
"Dragon Claw Fist - Storm Dragon King!"
A blue storm appeared beside the dragon, and the powerful, cutting force of the fists made Zhang Bairen very cautious.
"Use Devil Fruit powers? Fine, I'll use them too!"
The double-fist meteor shower expanded its range, and the crimson, high-temperature flames made the fists look even more like falling meteors.
"This is... the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit!?"
The storm and the flames collided with a deafening roar, but neither of the two, who were even more focused, retreated an inch.
The fist techniques were rampant, and the claws were like knives, turning an area of several hundred meters into a dry valley.
All around, cracks crisscrossed the ground, and an inextinguishable flame burned fiercely on the soil.
The two spectators had retreated again and were ready to defend themselves.
"This sparring match is definitely not going to be easy." Koushirou looked at the firestorm not far away, and his emotions began to tense up.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is the .huanyuanapp app (install the latest version).
"No matter what, Bai Ren is still a bit too young."
Even if it were a reincarnated god, it would be difficult to defeat the leader of the revolutionary army.
Koushirou's Observation Haki was unable to penetrate the heart of the fierce battle between the two powerful beings of the Natural System.
However, he could foresee that Zhang Bairen was no match for Long.
Perhaps, when he grows up, he will become the strongest person in the world.
But right now, it's still a bit lacking.
Just as Koushirou was speculating, the scope of the battle was expanding.
A storm swept across the land, flames burned everything, and countless bolts of lightning occasionally erupted from the fiery storm.
Zhang Bairen's dual Devil Fruit abilities have been fully exposed.
Dragon's heart was in turmoil. He never imagined that someone could eat two Logia-type Devil Fruits and control them freely.
Such a miracle could only have happened unexpectedly to someone like Zhang Bairen, who seemed to come from another world.
"Storm Dragon Claw Fist - Dragon's Fury!"
"Thunder and Fire Twin Swords, splitting heaven and earth!"
A fierce wind howled, the twin swords slashed down, the earth shattered with a deafening roar, and the sky was filled with swirling clouds.
The two have upgraded their combat level to all-out effort.
An island-destroying battle has begun.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several bolts of lightning struck down, and a domineering aura, capable of stirring up the wind and clouds, was released from Zhang Bairen's body.
The dragon's body floated in mid-air, its eyes filled with disbelief.
"This domineering aura is incredibly powerful!?"
After a brief moment of shock, Dragon also unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.
"Since that's the case, I can no longer suppress my will for freedom and liberation!"
Your invincible spirit, my free will—this battle has truly unfolded unexpectedly!
The free-spirited dragon, amidst its laughter, unleashed a domineering aura no less powerful than Zhang Bairen's.
The sky, covered in dark clouds, showed obvious cracks as the two overwhelming colors collided.
"Mr. Koushirou, let's leave first. This small island can't withstand their full-scale battle." The usually silent Kuma finally spoke.
Koushirou gripped the scabbard tightly, finally nodded, and agreed to Ookuma's suggestion.
The two left the island inside the bear paw bubble and flew to a nearby wooden boat.
Then, using Observation Haki, he observed the upcoming battle from a distance.
The two, both unleashing their Conqueror's Haki, had begun to go all out, and each of their attacks was imbued with Conqueror's Haki.
The small island, which served as the battlefield, continued to crumble in the aftermath of the battle.
The dark clouds in the sky, amidst the clash of their intertwined, overwhelming colors, created a spectacular sight of the sky splitting open.
Dragon's domineering aura and the extent to which he has developed his Devil Fruit are both superior to Zhang Bairen's.
However, Zhang Bairen also has unique advantages.
The power systems of different worlds, and the superposition of powers from different worlds, make Zhang Bairen's true combat strength far more complex than it appears on the surface.
Lacking in domineering aura, he compensates with physical strength; his Devil Fruit ability cannot be awakened; and he also possesses extreme high-temperature flames and ninjutsu.
In short, Zhang Bairen could not defeat the dragon, and the dragon could not defeat Zhang Bairen either.
Battles between the top fighters in the world of One Piece can last at least several days.
Unless, like Teacher Kai, one is unable to bear the burden alone and has to shoulder too much alone.
