Pirates from island owner to king

Chapter 319: Defeat against Bista (big chapter)

"Be careful." Of course Wang Hai knew that Bista was joking. Although it was just a discussion, there was no issue of letting go.

After giving a reminder, he took the lead in launching the attack.

He disappeared like a teleport and reappeared, already in front of Bista. The knife in his hand was struck directly on the head.

There is no probing.

He has sparred with Bista many times, and both sides already know their respective strengths and fighting styles.

In terms of pure skills, it is already difficult to find the possibility of defeating the opponent.

In actual combat, victory or defeat is related to many factors.

Speed ​​and power, mentality and state, skills and experience, and then endurance and rhythm, etc.

These factors are not constant and will fluctuate even during the battle.

Especially for people with shortcomings.

For the truly strong, they can keep these factors in their intact state for a long time during the battle.

There is no doubt that Bista has been a great swordsman for a long time and has rich combat experience.

In other respects, there are no obvious shortcomings.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to catch his flaw at the beginning of the battle.

Only attack.

While constantly attacking, Bista's fighting rhythm was disrupted and his flaws were revealed.

Of course.

This was a situation where Bista and he were almost as powerful as each other, otherwise he certainly wouldn't need to go to such trouble.

Like him, Bista wrapped his armed and domineering double swords together and blocked his slashing without evading it.

The collision between knives and knives, sparks and arcs appeared, and the sound of metal collision instantly filled the entire venue.

"You guy, your strength is getting stronger and stronger. You are indeed a monster." Bista complained while using the force-removing technique to remove some of the force from the knife.

Wang Hai's sword was not enough to repel him.

Wang Hai was not disappointed. Although his sword was blessed with armed domineering energy, it was only to protect the sword from damage during the battle.

In other words, he has not yet exerted his full strength.

This was just a casual blow, and he already knew the effect.

No more holding back.

Next, Wang Hai's attacks became more and more violent.

He used the Nail Fist of the Hachichōken to charge up the attack, and used the Arrancar technique to deliver a slash that was in the shape of a nail.

Not one or two, but like a net, intertwined with dozens or hundreds of slashes, covering Bista, leaving no room for him to escape.

If it was before he broke through to the Great Swordsman, although he could initially use swordsmanship to perform the characteristics of the eight punches, he could only produce less than ten nail-shaped flying slashes each time.

In this way, it is difficult to form a blockade of Bista.

Now, the scale of the flying slash has been directly increased by ten times.

but.

This was obviously not enough to defeat Bista directly.

The two swords in Bista's hands seemed to have turned into propellers. As they danced, no shadow could be seen, only petals-like slashes, instantly forming a defensive wall.

These petals looked even more beautiful than when he and Bista were sparring more than a year ago, just like real petals.

But Wang Hai also knew that these petal-like slashes were more dangerous than before.

The petals collided with the nails, and most of them were canceled out in an instant, while some continued to attack the opponent.

But it was already difficult to pose a threat to the two of them.

Wang Hai's sense of what he saw and heard did not fade away. While he was closely watching Bista's movements, he had already predicted the landing point of these petal attacks, and easily dodged a few petal attacks that slipped through the net.

Such an attack landed on the ring, causing deep marks to appear directly on the surface of the ring.

Before this.

Although Izo and Sasuke's sparring also left some traces on the ring, the traces were relatively superficial.

If the traces left by the two of them were at the centimeter level, then the traces left by Wang Hai and Bista's attacks now directly reached the meter level.

But even so, compared to the 50-meter long, wide, and ten-meter-high arena, this trace is nothing.

The arena here was specially made by Wang Hai to imitate historical text materials.

Although Xiao Hei failed to directly use the swallowing fruit ability to synthesize historical text materials.

However, stones and metal ores are still used to synthesize this very hard alloy.

Only in this way can it withstand the torment of everyone's discussion.

No, if you're not careful, you may even demolish the venue.

The battle isn't over yet.

Bista waved the two swords in his hands until no shadow could be seen. After blocking Wang Hai's slash, the attack continued and he began to counterattack.

Seeing this, Wang Hai also launched a second slashing attack.

The arena was not big, so there wasn't much room to dodge, and he didn't intend to dodge.

Next, it depends on whose attack is more powerful and lasting, and at the same time, he can grasp the opponent's flaws and prevent himself from exposing them.

This time, Wang Hai changed his method of slashing. In the nail-shaped slash, he added armed domineering energy.

As a result, these slashes seemed to turn into real steel nails.

Attack and penetration are also sharper.

And, it's not over yet.

After issuing this attack, he used Shao to teleport to the side of Bista, and then launched a second slashing attack in this direction.

front.

side.

Behind.

side.

Above.

He attempted to attack from all directions, although there was no way to attack from multiple directions at once.

However, the time difference between the front and back attacks is usually no more than two seconds.

This he can do with his superior physical advantage over Bista.

He planned to overwhelm Bista and expose his flaws.

Soon, he did succeed.

Bista failed to keep up with his attack.

He had to directly use the surrounding slashes, and his whole body was enveloped in a huge rose that was constantly growing and dying.

Obviously, Bista has tried his best.

However, such an offensive defense is difficult to maintain, and consumes a lot of physical strength and weapons.

It is also easier to expose flaws.

"found it!"

Wang Hai also ignored the consumption of physical strength and domineering energy, surrounded the giant rose, and continuously launched attacks.

After an hour of stalemate, his eyes lit up.

He discovered that somewhere in the giant rose, there was a weak point that could not be followed.

This time, the slash he made with his sword again was no longer a slash in the shape of a large nail, but a direct slash in the shape of a huge nail.

Although it was only one-third the size of a huge rose, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, piercing into the rose and instantly causing it to collapse.

The out-of-control rose turned into countless petals and fell on the ring, leaving hundreds of slash marks on the surface of the ring.

The huge nail-shaped slash was blocked by Bista with his double swords for less than a second, and then fell on him.

Even at the critical moment, Bista covered his whole body with armed colors, but he could not completely block the slash.

The next second, Bista had turned into a bloody man. Although it did not penetrate him directly, it also made his aura instantly weaker.

"I lost."

Bista barely managed to use his two swords to support himself from falling down, and said with a wry smile on his face.

"Sorry, I just couldn't control my breakthrough." Wang Hai could already feel that from the stands not far away, Whitebeard's somewhat unkind eyes were staring at him, like a super-large Neptune, which put him under great pressure.

While the two were talking, the cheers from the audience had stopped.

During their fight just now, different people supported the two of them and cheered for them.

Marco transformed into a phoenix and flew over to treat Bista's injuries.

Although Wang Hai and Bista had almost attacked with all their strength in the previous sparring session, they did not attack each other's fatal vital parts.

Therefore, Bista looked a little miserable, but it was not a serious injury.

Under Marco's treatment, the bleeding was quickly stopped and the wound was mostly healed.

Then rest for a few days to recover.

"Boy, even Bista is not your opponent. How about I become your opponent?"

Whitebeard shouted at this time.

Wang Hai shook his head and refused without hesitation: "It's not the time yet. In ten years, we will fight with all our strength."

At this time, there would be no other result than a beating with Whitebeard. Wang Hai was not a masochist.

"Cunning boy." Whitebeard muttered dissatisfiedly and continued to drink heavily.

No one else was allowed to play.

Even Bista lost to Wang Hai, and among his sons, only Jozi and Marco were left who could fight Wang Hai.

Wang Hai also breathed a sigh of relief.

He had no idea of ​​challenging Jozi and Marco for the time being.

After Whitebeard's personal training, Marco and Jozi's strength has reached the top level of general candidates.

Among them, Marco has the ability to fly. Although the Phoenix Fruit has not yet awakened, his self-healing ability is terrifying, and most attacks are ineffective against him.

Besides, Marco's weapon color was more powerful than his.

As for Qiaozi, he was already a top candidate for a general more than a year ago, although he still has not passed the final step.

However, the weapon color and physical skills have made great progress.

The fruit's ability has been developed to a level close to awakening, and coupled with its armament color, its defense is comparable to that of many generals and even the Pirate Emperor.

Against Qiaozi, Wang Hai's current methods basically had nothing to do against Qiaozi.

Unless, try to drain Jozi's physical strength and dominance.

However, he also knew that the diamond had some weaknesses, and he could take advantage of these weaknesses if he wanted to target Jozi.

First of all, diamonds are not resistant to high temperatures. Faced with Akainu's rock berry fruiting ability, Jozi was directly restrained.

Therefore, he can resist Hawkeye's slash, but he may not be able to block Akainu's attack.

Simultaneously.

Diamonds are also lipophilic and easily penetrated by oil, which can also be called a weakness.

Using flammable oil to attack and then ignite it, it is difficult for Joz to escape the high temperature burning.

In addition, diamond has a very high hardness, but it is also relatively brittle and not very resistant to impact.

Although in the battle on top, he directly injured Crocodile with a collision.

However, if you encounter a top armed master like Garp.

Or maybe a strong man like Seng Guo has strong defense and a powerful shock wave attack.

Not all of Jozi's diamond fruit abilities can be blocked.

Of course, no matter what, Jozi's diamond fruit ability is still very powerful in terms of physical defense in most cases.

If combined with the powerful armed color Haki, some weaknesses of the fruit's abilities are not unavoidable.

In fact, Jozi also knew this, so during the special training, he continued to develop the fruit's ability and tried to further awaken it.

At the same time, we are also in-depth development of armed color and physical skills.

The weapon color can complement his fruit ability, or it can strengthen the fruit ability.

As for physical skills, it increases his movement speed.

With powerful strength, strong physical defense and hardness, coupled with the ability to move at high speeds, there is no doubt that Jozi's attack power will be very powerful.

Therefore, although Jozi is still at the top of the general candidate list, it is because of talent limitations.

Let him not yet develop top-level abilities.

Basically, if you want to go further, you can only wait until the fruit ability awakens.

However, under the current circumstances, even if Jozi faces a general-level strongman, even if he cannot defeat him, he can still resist for a while.

In other words, for a general-level strongman, unless his ability is just right to restrain him, it may take a certain price to defeat him.

Faced with Marco and Jozi, one of whom was unable to cause effective damage and the other difficult to break through, Wang Hai could remain undefeated as much as possible.

But it doesn't make much sense to compete with them.

"Come here and have a drink with me." Whitebeard shouted to Wang Hai when he was about to leave the ring.

As for the ring battle, after he and Bista withdrew, someone had already continued on.

Wang Hai had no choice but to go over and drink with Baibeard.

"Newgate, the Golden Lion is coming soon. His strength will probably be back to its peak soon. Is that okay?"

Wang Hai walked over, picked up a bottle of wine, and changed the subject while drinking.

Although he doesn't like drinking very much, he doesn't object to the wine in front of him.

Because he felt that it was not good for Whitebeard and the others to just drink ordinary wine, he specially asked people to brew various tonic wines based on the collected recipes.

Just right.

This venue is set up to give everyone a place to learn from each other, increase practical experience, and promote each other.

Inevitably, there will be some injuries during the battle.

In such a situation, these nourishing wines can also play a certain role.

Try to reduce the loss of potential when improving everyone's strength as much as possible.

Some people, like Whitebeard, are not quite used to this.

However, after improvement, the tonic wine is more delicious than ordinary wine, so Whitebeard has no reason to reject it.

"Kulala, that guy Shiji, it's probably impossible to return to his peak."

Although Whitebeard was dissatisfied with him changing the topic, he still answered.

"I heard that Shi Ji has a plant called IQ that can make animals evolve."

Wang Hai continued.

Originally, Golden Lion was supposed to come to Heping Island for an appointment a year ago, but it has been delayed until now.

If this continues, I don’t know when I will be able to get IQ from the Golden Lion for research.

He himself does not need IQ to change his talent, but many of his people do.

Although Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu can comprehensively improve your physical fitness and domineering talent, it requires a high degree of understanding to master it.

Also.

As for Devil Fruit, it can indeed change talents to a certain extent.

Over the past year or so, he has also gained some through the Whitebeard Pirates, Doflamingo, and the underground forces of the New World.

However, he also discovered that there were not many Devil Fruits circulating on the market.

There may be many Devil Fruits, but most of them have been eaten, and these people with abilities are still alive.

In addition, there are some fruits that are not so easy to find in inaccessible places.

Then, there are still many who are controlled by Tianlong people.

Even the channels for collecting Devil Fruits are controlled by various forces.

Therefore, in the end, he didn't have much in his hands, and even less could significantly improve his men's talents.

It is precisely because of this that he is already trying to find Caesar who cooperated with Ming Ge in the original plot.

See if you can create an artificial devil fruit.

Or, it doesn't necessarily have to be a Devil Fruit, but a genetic potion similar to Vinsmoke Gaji.

Even if you don't obtain a certain fruit ability, it would be nice to be able to optimize and improve your talents.

But it didn't go well.

That guy Caesar has not been found yet.

Therefore, he wanted to get the IQ in the Golden Lion's hand even more as soon as possible.

"What do you want to say?" Whitebeard paused.

Wang Hai saw his reaction and knew that he must be interested in it.

After more than a year of special training, Whitebeard should also be able to see that the potential of his sons has almost reached its end.

There is basically no hope of becoming a strong man at the level of a general.

In other words, few people have such potential.

This undoubtedly made him worried and a little depressed.

Because he saw many general seedlings on Wang Hai's side.

Ananda won't go into details. Just one thunder fruit is enough for him to grow to at least the level of a top general.

Wang Hai's talent surprised him even more, but it was not just Wang Hai, but also Hancock and Adele.

The growth ceiling of the three of them is obviously at the same level as him.

The other two are Gion and Ruku, one has the potential to be a general, and the other is a candidate for the top rank.

William and Shigetsuki Sasuke, both of them also have the potential to be general candidates.

The total of these alone, he felt, was enough to compare with the original Roger Pirates.

What surprised him even more.

The strength of these people grows so fast, not only several times faster than normal people, but also there seems to be no bottleneck.

Finally, he also noticed that all this seemed to be because of Wang Hai, who seemed to have some kind of ability.

This made him realize that, as expected, it would not take long for Wang Hai and others to grow to a height comparable to the Roger Pirates.

In comparison, the Whitebeard Pirates are undoubtedly far behind in terms of potential and growth rate.

Almost all of it was supported by him alone.

For Wang Hai, use his ability to help the Whitebeard Pirates accelerate their growth.

Of course it's what Whitebeard wants.

However, he also knew that Wang Hai could not use such an ability casually.

Prior to this, Wang Hai and the Whitebeard Pirates had just begun to cooperate.

Knowing this, even though he saw Wang Hai's ability, Whitebeard could not lower his face and asked Wang Hai for help.

"Although IQ can also make animals become ferocious while allowing them to evolve, if research is done, such side effects may not be eliminated."
