Half a month later.
In front of the navy headquarters fortress, in the huge square, a large group of naval admirals stood on the edge of the square. There were no lieutenants among them. The lowest ones standing here were all colonel-level officers.
In this general promotion battle, no other island was chosen as the battle location. The battle location was set in the huge square in front of the Navy Headquarters!
This square is huge enough to accommodate 100,000 people for fighting.
The generals and officers at the edge of the square were divided into three queues and gathered in three directions. Only the harbor side was empty.
The people in these three directions, the left and the right, are the headquarters' general Aokiji and the headquarters' general Kizaru. Behind them are the headquarters' lieutenant generals.
And in the middle direction, the person standing directly in front of the headquarters fortress is Marshal Sengoku.
The two admirals, plus Marshal Sengoku, and a group of admirals behind them, were each located at the edge of the three directions to resist the aftermath of the battle that might spread too far.
At this moment.
In the center of this huge square, there were only two people standing opposite each other, one was Roja and the other was Akainu. Akainu’s face was cold and gloomy, while Roja’s expression was calm and calm.
The naval admirals in the distance were all looking at the two people in the field, feeling extremely nervous.
"I didn't expect that Lieutenant General Luo Ya would choose to apply for the promotion battle..."
"Although I have always heard that Lieutenant General Roya and General Sakaski are at odds, applying for promotion is a bit too impulsive."
A major general from the headquarters swallowed his saliva and said: "General Sakaski is very strong."
"Hey, which general do you think is weak?"
Another major general next to him couldn't help but said with a slight mockery: "Whether it is General Porusalino or General Kuzan, they are not weak at all. Their fruit abilities are the strongest natural demons." fruit!"
Someone looked at the field with deep eyes and murmured to himself: "The promotion battle is not so easy to pass... However, Lieutenant General Luo Ya is not weak. Some time ago, he even killed the legendary Golden Lion. of pirates."
"Even if Lieutenant General Roja is not as powerful as General Sakaski, he probably won't be too far behind. He is definitely qualified for a battle."
Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan, who had a good relationship with Luo Ya, was holding a cigar in his mouth, with nervousness and worry in his eyes, and murmured: "Finally, we have to do it head-on."
"Roja has completely angered General Sakaski this time. General Sakaski will never show mercy..."
Regardless of whether Roja wins or not, this battle is a blow to Akainu's reputation.
Because there are three generals in total, Roja chose him. On the one hand, Roja had conflicts with himself. On the other hand, it felt like he was the weakest among the three generals.
The atmosphere began to become more and more depressing.
No one spoke anymore, and the scene became silent.
Standing in the center of this huge square, Akainu looked like a volcano about to explode. Standing there, it made people feel frightened when they looked at it from a distance.
There were already drops of magma dripping from one of his arms. The drops of magma falling on the ground made a terrifying sound that made people feel heart-stopping.
Ordinary people may not be able to bear such heat even if they are standing nearby.
"Why, you chose me to be your opponent, but you don't dare to take action against me?"
Akainu did not take the initiative, but stood there with his fists clenched, looking at Roja with a cold and gloomy expression.
"No."
Roja shook his head, suddenly chuckled, and said proudly: "As soon as I take action, the battle will be over."
"Arrogant!"
Akainu's face darkened, he snorted, and finally took the lead.
Anyway, we have reached this situation, and there is no need to say anything. If Roja wins this battle, he will have to retreat to the second line and give up his position as the general of the headquarters. This is obviously unacceptable to him!
"Big fire!!"
boom! !
As Akainu's fist suddenly swung out, his arm suddenly turned into terrifying magma, forming a huge lava fist, which bombarded Roja in front.
Before the punch landed, a terrifying scorching heat had already set off a heat wave, rippling in all directions, frightening the minds of many headquarters officers in the distance.
Faced with Akainu's punch, Roja had no intention of retreating.
Silent.
As the strange power surged, Roja's body was covered with a black and white Death Overlord uniform. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a sword that was exquisite and perfect appeared in Roja's hand.
Roja placed the sword horizontally in front of him, and with a slight push, he blocked Akainu's punch.
"Is it the ability of some kind of animal phantom beast?"
Seeing the change in Roya's form, he had a strange feeling. A cold light flashed in Akainu's eyes, but he didn't pay attention, and instead let out a loud roar.
boom! !
The huge fist of magma suddenly exploded and turned into countless magma, spurting towards the front of Roja.
Swish, brush, brush! !
Roja stood calmly on the spot, without taking a step back. He just waved the sword in his hand, and after waving a few sword flowers, he easily knocked all the magma away.
The battle has just begun, and the power shown by Roja has already caused many people's expressions to change.
This is the first time that Roja's Death Mode has been used in front of so many people. Whether it is Aoki, Kizaru, or Warring States, it is the first time to see Roja in this form.
"No wonder Roja's strength has improved so much. He even killed the golden lion. It turns out that he got an animal-type phantom beast species that is even rarer than the natural type. Is it the human fruit type ability?"
There was something strange in Warring States' eyes. His fruit ability was the animal-type phantom beast, the Buddha form in the Renren fruit.
Qingzhi also had his eyes flickering, staring at Roja in the field, murmuring in his heart.
"I don't know what this fruit is capable of."
…
In the field.
Roja directly turned on the Death God mode, and after blocking Akainu's attack with his sword, he looked at Akainu calmly and said, "Is this all you have?"
"snort!"
When Akainu heard Roya's condescending words with a hint of contempt, his face became even more gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Don't think that just because you have obtained a rare Phantom Beast Devil Fruit, you can be as arrogant as you like!"
The moment the words fell, Akainu put his fists directly in front of him. After the magma surged crazily, he suddenly shot a huge magma fist towards Roja!
What's even more terrifying is that this huge magma fist was not just one, but a second one shot out immediately afterwards, and a third one. In a very short period of time, a large number of magma fists appeared, like a volcano exploding, towards Luo. Ya crashed down!
"Meteor Volcano!!"
This move is almost an upgraded version of the Great Breathing Fire, and it is also a long-range release attack.
All the fists of magma that were ejected were bombarded towards the front of Roya, like a meteor shower, falling towards Roya's head and face, as if they were going to bury Roja directly!
