Chapter 90 Giant Lieutenant General! The Spear of Elbaf - Slaying the Nation!
Martial Arts Island, nestled within a vast forest.
There's nothing there.
Upon landing on the island, Roy looked at the countdown timer above his head and then at the empty forest around him, feeling that something was amiss.
Yes.
Like most people, Roy knew that this third assessment would be just like the first one, and wouldn't be as simple as the rules stated.
After all, this is the final test, and the winner, if from the Navy, will be appointed as a candidate for Admiral and will be renowned throughout the world.
Therefore, in order to ensure that no accidents would occur after entering the island, Roy naturally became extremely vigilant.
However, it can only be said that the Warring States Marshal never disappoints when it comes to being disappointing.
Once inside the forest, Roy realized... there really wasn't anything there.
[Rabbit-Rabbit Fruit - Snow Rabbit Form LV3, greatly enhances hearing and jumping ability]
[Dog-Dog Fruit - Dachshund Form LV3, greatly enhances sense of smell]
[Bird-Bird Fruit - Falcon Form LV3, greatly enhances eyesight]
Just as mentioned before.
After receiving the Revolutionary Army's 100 billion yen deposit, Roy, whose finances were gradually improving, naturally became less stingy when it came to strengthening his Devil Fruit.
After upgrading several commonly used main battle fruits, such as the Gluttony Fruit, the Slice Fruit, the Buddha Fruit, and the Wind God Pteranodon Fruit, to LV4.
Roy selectively enhanced several of these common Zoan-type Devil Fruits, which didn't require much investment, to address specific situations and increase the diversity of his abilities.
For example, this combination of fruits, which he calls "enhanced five senses," allows him to perceive almost every subtle change in his surroundings.
But therein lies the problem—smell, sight, sound... every fact tells him that there is nothing special in this forest.
And then again...
"The objectives of this assessment are also quite strange."
Roy frowned.
"If the goal is for nine people to fight each other to emerge as the final winner, then the assessment objective should be set as defeating everyone else within three hours."
"If everyone rationally chooses to hide and wait for three hours in the forest, will they all be victors?"
Just as Roy was thinking about this.
"Boom!"
A roaring sound came from somewhere in the forest, accompanied by a huge slash and a powerful aura as it soared into the sky.
And almost simultaneously...
"Boom!"
A huge tremor was also heard from another location relatively close to Roy.
Roy:
'
Well, it seems not everyone is so rational.
"It's good if they fight, that way I'll get closer to my goal..."
Roy murmured to himself.
Although he has decided to act a little more freely now, his goal remains unchanged. He doesn't care about becoming a general candidate; he just wants to be among the top five to become the commander of the detention force.
But it was precisely while he was pondering this...
"Elbaf Combat Technique: Ground Shatter!"
A tremendous roar came from behind him, followed by a loud whooshing sound and a howling wind.
"shave!"
Roy's figure vanished from the spot.
Just as he dodged, a huge sword blade shattered the ground where he had been standing.
"Boom!"
The ground overturned, and the entire earth, just as the name of this move suggests, collapsed and cracked open, revealing huge fissures.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
And that was accompanied by heavy footsteps.
The enormous figure in naval uniform stepped out from the vast forest.
"Hahaha, you dodged it, huh?"
The giant let out a thunderous roar.
"Lieutenant General Hammer."
Roy, of course, recognized the giant lieutenant general and rubbed his ears: "Of course I dodged it—you shout the name of your attack so loudly, it's hard not to dodge such a sneak attack, right?"
The Snow Rabbit Fruit's hearing was so sensitive that he was almost deafened by the noise.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Hammer continued to laugh heartily: "That can't be helped. A sneak attack without warning would bring shame to a warrior's honor. The god of Elbaf will not bless such a disgraceful battle."
He hoisted the enormous greatsword over his shoulder: "Loy Amos, I heard about what happened yesterday... To defeat Basteo in one blow, you are a remarkable strongman."
Hearing this, Roy shook his head helplessly: "Then why did you come looking for me?"
Upon hearing this, Hammer laughed even louder: "To wrestle with heroes from all corners of the world, to fight against all kinds of strong individuals—that's precisely why I joined the Navy! Such rare powerhouses—fight!"
He roared and then swung his greatsword again.
"O giants..."
Seeing this, Roy secretly shook his head, knowing that this battle was inevitable.
but...
"Alright."
His eyes sharpened.
The next moment, Hammer was surprised to find...
When faced with the greatsword that was swung down from his hand, Roy did not dodge.
He leaped up at the greatsword with his bare hands.
"No Haki swirling around? No energy fluctuations? And he's not wearing those boxing gloves!?"
Hammer's brow furrowed instinctively: "What is he trying to do?"
He acknowledged Roy's strength, but judging from Roy's current attitude—that he actually intended to rely solely on physical strength to fight him?
"You brat, you're seriously underestimating the giants!"
He roared, and the greatsword slashed down even faster!
But in an instant, Hammer's expression froze on his face.
Because he found, incredibly, that the greatsword in his hand was now as if it were being held between two high mountains.
But his eyes told him that what was holding his greatsword was not a mountain, but... Roy's hand!
"Click!"
As the sword made a sound as it was being struck, Hammer felt a tremendous force emanating from the other end of the sword.
"you..."
He gritted his teeth and opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Roy suddenly flip his hand over.
"boom!"
The greatsword flipped, and Hammer's massive body was thrown away by the immense force!
"Boom!"
He smashed down dozens of giant trees along the way, his figure engulfed in the dust and smoke.
At this moment, in Marineford.
Among the crowd watching the live stream of the forest, the commentator let out an incredulous exclamation.
"No... Unbelievable! What happened!?"
"Although we can't hear their conversation, there's no doubt—Major Iroy just knocked Lieutenant General Hammer away, and... he didn't seem to use his Hadouken or Haki!"
"He...he seemed to have used pure force to send the giants flying!"
His exclamation was also what surprised Hammer, who was blasted to the ground at that moment.
"I, Devaro Hammer—have actually lost to a human in pure strength..."
He struggled to his feet, picked up the greatsword beside him, and stared solemnly at the figure standing motionless in the distance.
"Is he really human?"
At this moment, he was truly horrified.
He could clearly sense that Roy had just completely overwhelmed him in terms of sheer physical power!
And that is indeed the case.
[Human Fruit - Buddha Form LV4]
[Human-Human Fruit - Giant Form LV4]
[Strength Fruit LV4]
[Human Fruit LV5]
"Ignoring vitality and regenerative abilities, and considering only pure muscle strength, the Giant-Giant Fruit is stronger than the Wind God-Pteranodon Fruit—let's settle on this combination of 'strength enhancement' fruits."
Clenching his fists and feeling the surging muscle power within his body, Roy looked toward Lieutenant General Hammer not far away.
"Lieutenant General, how are you feeling?"
He grinned.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Lieutenant General Hammer stood up and exclaimed, "Truly remarkable, Major Roy! Just as the rumors say, your physique is monstrous!"
"but..."
He grinned: "I am a warrior of the giants."
As he spoke, he slowly posed the giant sword in his hand into a strange posture. The giant sword, which was almost the same size as himself, was held horizontally to his side.
"boom!"
A domineering aura erupted, and surging power transformed into a flowing vortex that swirled around the edge of his sword.
Meanwhile...
"Click." "Click."
His veins bulged all over his body.
Yes, the warriors of the giants are not afraid of monsters.
On the contrary—they take pride in hunting monsters.
Among them, the giants who can hunt truly powerful monsters are revered as heroes. Their signature feature is their ability to use the ancient martial arts passed down through generations of Elbaf.
Those moves named after the "Spear of Elbaf" symbolize power and glory.
Hammer is strong, but his power has not yet reached that level.
but...
"With the help of this enormous sword..."
As he spoke, Hammer gripped the greatsword in his hand with increasing force.
"I can barely manage to use one of those moves."
As mentioned before, his sword was unusually large, even too large for a giant.
And that's the reason.
Among giants, huge... means power!
He swung his sword.
And it was at this very moment...
"Um!?"
Roy's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked at him.
"There's such a thing..."
A glint of light flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, Hammer's slash was already unleashed.
"The Spear of Elbaf - Slay the Nation!"
In that instant, the surging power emanating from the giant sword seemed to transform into a massive tsunami!
"Boom!"
The towering ancient trees in the forest were torn apart like fragile seedlings in an instant, and huge ravines appeared on the ground in a flash.
"It's...it's appeared! Elbaf's secret martial arts technique!"
"It is said that when used by a powerful giant warrior, it could destroy an island nation with a single blow!"
"This is the power of a Vice Admiral at Marine Headquarters; even a Marine Supernova like Roy would have to avoid him..."
! ?
The commentator's dramatic and expressive narration came to an abrupt end.
Because at this moment...
"boom!"
That terrifying slash had already struck Roy.
A huge cloud of smoke and dust rose up with a roar, and the smoke, wood chips, and gravel mixed with a domineering aura scattered in all directions.
"He...he didn't dodge! Is the battle over!?"
The commentator's exclamation followed, along with the shout from the leader of the detention force not far behind him: "Was Roy drunk last night? He couldn't even dodge this!"
But at this moment...
"Ha ha..."
And in the forest, amidst the rising smoke and dust.
Lieutenant General Hammer maintained his sword-wielding stance, his massive chest heaving violently, sweat streaming down his bulging muscles.
"You...won?"
He was breathing heavily, his eyes fixed on the spot where Roy was standing.
He knew he had given it his all. This "Slaying the Nation" was a secret technique of the giant race, comparable to the "Dominating Nation" and "Overlord Nation." He could only barely unleash it once with the help of his super-great sword.
He was confident that even the heroes of the giant race would find this attack troublesome.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Until a certain moment...
"call..."
The sea breeze stirred up the swirling dust and smoke, outlining the blurry silhouettes within the haze.
The silhouette still stands.
"The giants' martial arts are truly formidable..."
Roy's voice then came out.
At that moment, the smoke and dust dispersed.
At this moment, Roy's navy uniform was already quite tattered.
He crossed his arms in front of him to protect himself.
But in his case...
"Buzz!"
Golden waves burst forth, enveloping his entire body.
Hadouken: Vajra Body
"But it seems you can only use this trick once?"
"What a pity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Roy's figure disappeared.
The next moment, his figure suddenly appeared above Lieutenant General Hammer's head.
In his hands, a fluctuating radiance was already shimmering.
"it's over."
Exhausted, Hammer knew perfectly well that after using the "Kingdom Slaying" technique, he had no way to avoid this attack.
But he didn't care—as a warrior, he didn't feel ashamed to fail after a fierce battle.
but...
"Um!?"
The next moment, Lieutenant General Hammer stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Because at that moment, he saw the changes in Roy.
He could see the movement of Roy's muscles constantly tensing and exerting force, the trajectory of muscle changes, the subtle changes in his body... he was extremely familiar with them!
"you..."
But he didn't have time to say anything more.
Because the next moment, Roy's fist had already struck him.
"boom!"
Within the forest, a powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted.
