Chapter 693: The Day You Die on the Battlefield!
Hasshoken.
A Martial Art passed down through generations by the 'Happo Navy' located in the Flower Country of the West Blue.
When striking a Target, it can release a spreading Shockwave with powerful attack force, easily penetrating Shields and even affecting the Internal Organs of the Body.
At the same Time, the Shockwave also provides the User with Defense Power against Weapons.
In the World.
Hasshoken is as famous as Fish-Man Karate.
Back then, Chinjao was defeated by Kuzan on the Ice Continent, then brought back to Navy Headquarters: Marineford. After that, Garp applied his Iron Fist again, successfully helping him recover his Drill Head.
This led him to accept the invitation from the Military and Political Department, becoming a Hasshoken Instructor for the Military.
It's been nearly four years now.
Many Officers from the Three Forces have learned Hasshoken, with the largest number being from the Army Headquarters.
As for Enel, after learning a few basic Technique of the Six Powers, he felt that the Six Powers weren't quite suitable for him.
Considering that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's Ability comes with a Shockwave Effect when used, he chose Hasshoken, which can also release Shockwaves and allows for a certain degree of Control over them.
This way the Rumble Shockwaves that could originally only passively overflow could also be utilized in his Hasshoken Technique, bringing with them a Sound Burst vibration that ordinary Hasshoken doesn't possess.
Finally, Enel gave this set of fist Technique a new Name.
Thunder Roar Fist!
If used with the feet to kick, it would be called Thunderclap Leg!
[Swish----]
"Hmm?!"
Just as Enel was about to laugh and say something, a blinding Golden Light suddenly bloomed in front of him.
If it were anyone else, they might close their Eyes due to the discomfort.
However, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's Ability also produces dazzling Electric Flash when used, so he had a certain adaptability to this kind of Radiance.
This also allowed Enel, in that instant, to clearly perceive a thick, long Beam striking towards his Face, thanks to his Observation Haki Perception.
Without thinking, he instinctively transformed into Electric Flash, attempting to instantly move backward to dodge.
Only...
It seemed too late, or rather, the Opponent had predicted his dodging movement.
[Bang!]
The Beam, coated with a layer of invisible Armament Haki, struck Enel, who had just undergone Element Transformation, squarely in the face, sending him flying backward in his Electric Flash state.
He only stopped after completely blowing up a towering Watchtower behind him.
Borsalino, who quickly recovered his Human Form from the Flash state, saw this scene and sighed lightly, "Don't blame me, okay? This was Teacher Zephyr's Order..."
Just now, Zephyr had asked him to come down and test Enel's skill.
He was naturally reluctant to do such troublesome and offending Matter.
But since Zephyr was his Teacher and the current Fleet Admiral of the Air Force, he could only hold his nose and give Enel a taste of a Light Speed Kick.
Borsalino actually hoped Enel could dodge it.
But the Result was somewhat contrary to his Hope.
[Boom!]
However, just as his voice fell, the collapsed Watchtower Ruins immediately exploded, followed by a true Lightning striking in front of him in the blink of an Eye.
"Oh~"
A blue long leg radiating Electric Flash was faintly reflected in Borsalino's Pupils.
Enel actually launched a Counterattack without any regard for Borsalino's Admiral Identity!
Although he didn't know why this Admiral Kizaru attacked him.
He had long looked forward to fighting an Admiral Level Combat Power who was also a Logia User, and incidentally, returning that kick from just now.
So, Enel's first attack wasn't the 'Thunder Spear'.
Instead, he used a 'Thunderclap Leg' coated with a layer of Armament Haki, kicking towards Borsalino's face, which was full of surprise.
[Swish!]
However, Borsalino instantly transformed into Flash and disappeared from the spot at the critical moment just before being hit, appearing a hundred meters away in the blink of an Eye.
"So fast, as expected of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, how scary~"
Borsalino put his hands in his pockets, making a scared, twisted-mouth expression with a drawn-out tone, while his Blue Coat swayed in the Wind.
"Damn it!"
Stopping his movement and recovering his Human Form, Enel was already displeased that his Thunderclap Leg didn't hit.
Hearing such a cheap remark now instantly filled him with Anger.
"Thunder Spear!"
A Chill flickered in Enel's Eyes. He grabbed in front of his Body with his Right Hand, instantly condensing a thick, long Lightning.
"Today, I'll show you what the Strongest Logia-type Devil Fruit is called!"
The crackling sounds and the constantly overflowing Electro caused the Air Force Officers watching from afar to show deep fear in their Eyes.
Lightning, this was a Strength that felt even more terrifying than Admiral Kizaru's Flash.
"A MA NO MU RA KU MO" (Ama no Murakumo)
At the same Time, Borsalino pulled his hands apart in front of his Chest.
A Golden Light Long Sword completely formed from Flash quickly took shape, and he gripped the Sword handle tightly with his Right Hand. He didn't forget to tease.
"Be careful, Enel~ Colonel~"
[Whoosh!]
[Buzz buzz buzz!]
The next second, a streak of Golden Light Meteor and a streak of blue Electric Flash, in the blink of an Eye, crossed a hundred meters of Domain Distance and collided head-on in the center.
The Blade of the Flash Long Sword and the Drill Head of the Thunder Spear were pressed tightly against each other, perfectly demonstrating the word 'tit-for-tat'.
At the same Time.
A large amount of Light and Electro splashed out in all directions, wildly shattering the surrounding Ground.
Surging Qi Energy formed an expanding Shockwave, pushing the cement on the Ground and the Soil beneath it forward like a wave of Water.
Light and Thunder exploded, Gale howled!
In an instant, under the shroud of the sky-high Golden Light and Lightning Flash, the two transformed into two incomparably fast Afterimages, crossing paths and engaging in a fierce Combat.
But just when everyone thought this Combat would last for a long Time.
With a Loud Noise.
The Thunder Spear in Enel's hand was easily swept away by Borsalino's Ama no Murakumo.
This left a bloodstain on Enel's Cheek, and his face was filled with astonishment.
He hadn't expected Borsalino's Swordsmanship to be so exquisite. In a Weapon clash, he was completely no match.
"If that's the case, then I won't use a Weapon!"
Enel immediately swung his Fist with all his Strength towards Borsalino, roaring, "Thunder Roar Fist!"
[Duang----]
The Fist, radiating Black Glow amidst the flickering Electric Flash, fiercely met the descending Light Sword Blade.
In an instant.
The Air at the point of contact was like boiling Hot Water, forming a Shockwave almost compressed into substance, pouring towards Borsalino behind the Light Sword, accompanied by dazzling Electric Flash.
But Enel never expected.
Borsalino seemed to have known he would do this long ago, instantly transforming into Flash and disappearing from the spot a fraction of a second beforehand.
Then, taking advantage of his fleeting punching process, he appeared behind him.
"Lightning, it seems, isn't as fast as Radiance."
By the time Enel heard this sentence, he had already suffered a heavy blow from behind, and his entire Body, with a painful expression, transformed into Lightning and shot forward.
Borsalino slowly lowered his long leg that he had just raised, then looked up at Zephyr, who was still watching the Combat in the Air.
"Teacher Zephyr, is that enough?"
Zephyr flew down using Moonwalk and smiled, "Mm, you've worked hard. This Old Man has basically Understand the Kid's Situation. Next, we'll focus on targeted Training."
"However, I can tell that his Importance on Martial Arts is much stronger than yours."
This wasn't saying that the current Enel's Martial Arts level was stronger than Borsalino's, but rather his Attitude towards Martial Arts Cultivation.
"But I'm a Swordsman..."
Borsalino argued helplessly.
"Hmph, as if you spend much Time practicing your Sword every day. Since you reached the so-called Great Swordsman Realm, how long has it been since you seriously trained?"
"If you keep going like this, you'll be pulled further away by Sakazuki, Kuzan, and the others sooner or later, or even die on the Battlefield someday encountering an Otherworldy Strong Enemy. Don't regret not putting in the Effort then!"
After speaking, Zephyr snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to him, and walked straight towards Enel.
