After breaking out of the flames, Drake took a deep breath and looked at the flames that were gradually weakening because there was nothing to burn. He couldn't help showing a look of lingering fear.
Fortunately, it was him. If he were an ordinary person, if he was swept away by the flames, he would probably end up being burned alive!
Even when he got out, he was burned in several places.
After looking at the burn marks on his clothes and the few wisps of flames that seemed to be expanding, Drake did not try to pat them away, but directly tore off his clothes and threw them to the ground.
Looking at Roja again, Drake's face no longer had any sense of relaxation and calmness, but instead had a look of shock and solemnity.
A swordsmanship capable of wielding flames...
Unexpectedly, Roja still has such power!
Luo Ya stood quietly in the field, put the hilt of the sword in his right hand and held it lightly. He once again held the sword with one hand. Flames enveloped the sword body, and then with a light wave, the blazing flames exploded again.
boom! !
Another terrifying flame suddenly shot out, like a crimson fire dragon, wrapped in heart-stopping heat, and struck at Drake again.
The monstrous heat wave swept across all directions, causing the recruits who had retreated a little further to retreat again in a fit of turmoil, leaving a large open area.
Whoosh!
Drake knew in his heart that he could not break through Roja's flames head-on. Even if he could cut through the flames, it would be meaningless. The flames were invisible. Even if they split apart, they could still rejoin the next moment and devour him in an instant.
So facing Roja's flames, Drake chose to avoid it.
However, Drake avoided one flame, and the second flame came suddenly with Roja's swing of the sword. After avoiding the second flame, the third flame struck again!
"Can it be released without restriction?!"
Seeing Roja casually dropping his sword, a flame swept over him, and a look of horror finally appeared in Drake's eyes.
boom! !
The next moment, the third flame swept through and swallowed up Drake's whole body again.
Crazy waves of fire rose one after another, like thousands of crimson claws, trying to swallow up the entire sky. Looking at the flames, even the rear admirals were frightened.
"Sword Intent...can it reach this level?!"
"This level of fire is almost like the ability of a natural devil fruit!"
At this time, even Zefa had a look of shock on his face. If Garp hadn't told him personally that Roja was not a natural person with the Burning Fruit ability, he wouldn't have been able to help but doubt it.
The other side.
The recruits watched the monstrous flames sweep across the field, swallowing up Drake's figure, just like a huge wave of flames swallowing up a small sailboat. They disappeared instantly and were already shocked and speechless.
A heat wave swept across the entire venue, making the air unbearably hot. However, those recruits who had challenged Roja before felt a chill down their spines, and felt like they were in an ice cellar in their hearts.
Who would have thought that Roja would have such power? !
If it had been used against them from the beginning, they would probably be swept away by the flames, and there would be no chance of them surviving!
"Dr...Drake was engulfed in flames..."
"What a terrifying power!"
The recruits who were shocked and lost their voices couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
finished
Looking at the blazing fire in the field, Drake could no longer be seen, and seemed to be completely swallowed up by the flames. Such a thought flashed through the minds of these recruits.
But, in the next moment.
Roar! ! !
An earth-shaking roar suddenly erupted from the flames, as if a terrifying momentum suddenly emerged, shaking in all directions, causing all the flames to explode in all directions.
In the flames, a huge monster suddenly appeared!
The huge monster transformed by Drake rushed out of the flames. At this time, everyone finally saw what the monster looked like. It turned out to be a dinosaur!
An ancient species of animal... dinosaur form!
"I didn't plan to use it. I really didn't expect that I would be forced to this extent."
Drake rushed out of the flames, his huge body suddenly shrank, and quickly changed back to human form, but he also had the skin and appearance of a dinosaur, directly entering a semi-animal state.
The half-animal-turned-Drake still held the weapon in his hands, but an extremely vicious aura surged through his body. He looked at Roja and said, "Since I have used my Devil Fruit ability, this battle... is also... It’s time to end!”
Whoosh! !
The moment the words fell, Drake's figure suddenly jumped out, directly passed through an afterimage, and rushed towards Roja, his speed was more than twice as fast as before
"Did you really get this devil fruit before joining the navy?"
Looking at Drake rushing over, Roja's face was not panicked. Instead, he showed a thoughtful expression and swung his sword at the same time.
boom! !
A blazing flame suddenly swept through and turned into a curtain of fire that reached the sky.
"snort!!"
Seeing the flames in front of him, Drake did not dodge. After snorting coldly, he waved the weapons in both hands fiercely, directly bringing up a strong wind pressure and forcefully tearing open the fire curtain!
Immediately afterwards, Drake forced his way through the split fire curtain. Some of the aftermath of the flames fell on Drake's body, leaving only a slight trace of burns on his solid skin that had transformed into a half-animal form.
Drake suddenly rushed in front of Roja, and then swung the four-edged ax in his hand fiercely. The huge power brought out a strong sound of breaking through the air, and crashed towards Roja.
Roja swung his sword to meet him, and blazing flames and silver-white sword energy burst out at the same time.
Clang! !
The swords and axes intersected. After Drake transformed into a half-beast, the huge increase in power allowed him to directly withstand Roja's sword energy. At the same time, he resisted Roja's flames and blasted Roja away. go out.
"It's useless. In this form, my strength and speed are much stronger than before. Even your flames have no effect on me!"
Drake, whose whole body was once again enveloped by flames, but with only some faint burn marks on his skin, spoke coldly to Roja, who was blasted away by him.
From Drake using the animal devil fruit, the ability of the ancient dinosaur form, to burst out of the flames, to resisting Roja's sword energy and flames, and using the huge increase in power after transforming into a half-beast, he blasted Roja away. , it almost happened in a flash of lightning.
It wasn't until Roja spun around in mid-air and landed lightly in the distance that the recruits outside the field finally reacted. They all showed expressions of astonishment and disbelief, and even couldn't help but exclaim.
"Evil... Devil Fruit users!"
