<h4>Chapter 81: Battle</h4>


    “Why is he so talented? How did he do that?”


    “If this continues, I’ll definitely lose. No, I must find his weakness.”


    General No. 1 looked flustered and felt emotional.


    His face was grim. He had been thinking to himself that as a neer, am would not find any ws.


    “That’s right, definitely. There must be something like this. There must be something he didn’t do best. There must be some w he doesn’t even know about. As long as I find it, I can defeat him.”


    “I can, definitely. He’s just a recruit. He’s not a veteran. He’s not that good at it. I can’t go against him face-to-face.”


    General No. 1 stared at am. He was looking for a weakness and a chance to counterattack.


    As long as he found the w, he would still have a chance to win.


    In other words, he did this for the sake of am.


    It would be better for am if he found am’s weakness instead of allowing am’s enemies to find his weakness in the future. If the enemy found am’s weakness, he would die straight away.


    If he found it, at least he would not let him die. It was just to determine the winner.


    “am, don’t let me find a chance to fight back.”


    am looked confused when he heard that.


    “How is that possible, I don’t even know?”


    am did not care. He did not care about the ws. He just wanted to quickly finish and sleep.


    What was he doing here? He wanted to go back to rest. It was too tiring to be here.


    Even if he did not have to do anything here, it was like the difference between cking in thepany and cking outside.


    The feeling of cking in thepany and cking outside waspletely different.


    “Forget it. You won’t listen even if I tell you. Work hard yourself,” am said nonchntly.


    General No. 1 certainly did not know that his opponent, am, had added almost 1500 points to his Haoshoku Haki.


    In addition, he was able to use Armament Haki to cover it. This was a skill that only he mastered. No one else can do it.


    Moreover, if General No. 1 wanted to find the w, he needed to know the principle of Armament Haki coverage. How was he going to find the w if he did not know the principle?


    If one did not know the principle of the bicycle’s actions, how was one going to find the ws?


    am could understand this principle, but General No. 1 could not. He felt that this guy was so silly.


    If he could find the w, it meant that he was not far from mastering the skill of Armament Haki coverage.


    “Don’t be too smug. Usually, those who are pleased with themselves will fail.”


    When General No. 1 saw am acting like this, he was a little embarrassed and immediately became angry.


    “I didn’t say that. You were too serious. I didn’t even want to fight.”


    am said innocently. He knew it would be difficult for him to defeat General No. 1 with his current strength.


    He appeared to have the upper hand now, but it was only on the surface.


    Right now, he could only attack and defend. It was too difficult to defeat General No. 1.


    Currently, he could not find such an ability nor did he know how to do it. In any case, it was not easy. Of course, he could do it. However, this was just a spar and there was no need for that.


    A life and death battle was rare.


    am himself did not know what the oue of his fight with General No. 1 would be.


    In any case, he could not defeat General No. 1 at this stage.


    “Bam!!! Bam!!!”


    “!! Boom! Boom!!”


    Loud sounds were heard from this ce.


    The hugemotion left everyone with lingering fear.


    However, they were not ordinary people. They were not people who needed protection. They were soldiers. Soldiers charged forward bravely.


    They would go wherever it was dangerous. The more dangerous it was, the more people would go.


    A hugemotion attracted them. The marines on the fortress and the marines on the square ran out to see what was going on.


    A group of people walked out and looked in the direction of the incident. That direction was where themotion came from.


    When they saw that the masked man was in the Marshal’s office and that there was a huge hole, they were shocked.


    What was that ce? That was a ce for a group of Generals, yet such a thing actually happened. How was this possible?!!


    This was too terrifying!


    The Marines ran out one after another and more and more people came out to take a look. Seeing the huge hole and how General No. 1 was attacking, they felt the humiliation.


    They broke out in cold sweat.


    “What on earth happened?”


    Someone asked a question. They did not know what had happened. Why did they suddenly start fighting?


    Moreover, they did not hear the rm of the enemy’s attack, nor did they hear the order to send troops.


    “That’s General No. 1, right? What’s going on? Who is General No. 1 fighting?”


    “It looks like General No. 1 is at a disadvantage!”


    “Who is it? He’s so powerful. In my impression, General No. 1 has always been the strongest. Now, there’s actually someone he can’t defeat!”


    “No, General No. 1 is currently at a disadvantage. He has no choice.”


    “I don’t believe it. General No. 1 is very strong. He must be sparring with someone else, so he doesn’t dare to use his full strength. If he uses his full strength, he can definitely win.”


    “That’s true. General No. 1 is very strong. If he really fought seriously, this fortress could be destroyed. In other words, the situation that General No. 1 chose was only temporary.”


    “That’s hard to say. We still don’t know who he is fighting. What if General No. 1 really can’t win?”


    “That’s right. I think what you said is reasonable and neutral. If you really want topete with General No. 1, aren’t you insulting the General?”


    “We can’t just sit there!”


    “This is hard to say. When this battle began, I didn’t know what happened. When did it begin? Why did it only begin now?”


    “I’m not sure, but I’ve never heard of anyoneing. Could it be a General?”


    “I think it’s strange. Who on earth could fight with General No. 1 like this? It’s so hard!”


    “That’s true. Could it be? I mean, is there a possibility that General No. 1 is fighting a new general? That’s testing the new general’s capability. As soon as it’s over, he’ll announce that a new general has arrived?”


    “The possibility… is not very high, is it?”


    “I don’t think it’s big. Every time a new general shows up, he would bring it up. It hasn’t happened yet.”
