Chapter 7

After superimposing the talent, potential, and power of the Naruto-world Chu Yang, Chu Yang's learning of anything was far beyond ordinary people.

Another short four days passed, and Chu Yang's proficiency in Fish-Man Karate rose to another level.

Jinbe decided to check Chu Yang's training results.

The two held a unique Fish-Man Karate competition on the deck.

Except for Fish-Man Karate, neither side could use other skills.

At first, the Fish-Men on the ship thought Jinbe was joking. How could a human who had only been on the ship for a week learn Fish-Man Karate so quickly?

It's impossible even if you start learning from your mother's womb! With a skeptical attitude, all members of the Sun Pirates witnessed the competition between Chu Yang and Jinbe.

Even Arlong was not absent. With his upper body wrapped in bandages, he stood on the sidelines.

His gaze never left Chu Yang for a moment.

"You attack first!" Jinbe stood generously in front of Chu Yang, without even setting up a defensive posture.

"Okay." Chu Yang, who was always clean and neat, didn't decline, clenched his fists at his abdomen, and his body retracted slightly, like a tightened spring.

Chu Yang accumulated power in his fists and then swung them out forcefully. The fist force formed a strong shockwave in the air.

【Fish-Man Karate: Vacuum Tile Straight Fist】

This was a move Chu Yang improved by referring to Jinbe's "Seaweed Tile Straight Fist."

The distance was farther, and the power was more concentrated.

Because of Wood Release, Chu Yang's cell activity was also increasing day by day. The power of this punch was no less than Jinbe's original move, and even more powerful.

And Jinbe hadn't realized the power of this punch until the cannonball-like shockwave approached him, and Jinbe felt the terrifying pressure.

"Shark Tile Straight Fist!"

Jinbe's thick and powerful blue arms bulged with terrifying muscles, and he smashed a punch fiercely into the air in front of him.

With a boom! The air was torn into countless airflows by brute force, surging wildly toward the surroundings, directly overturning the surrounding Fish-Men audience.

Arlong looked at the two who had only fought one move in horror. The battle was larger than he imagined.

"This guy actually really learned Fish-Man Karate?!"

"And he's on par with Big Brother Jinbe!"

"Does this guy have Fish-Man blood?"

The Fish-Men discussed, looking at Chu Yang with surprise. Tiger opened his mouth wide, a bit unsure how to express his current mood.

"Not bad, kid!" Jinbe showed his smile to Chu Yang for the first time, putting away his attitude of looking down on the other just now: "Since that's the case, then I'm going to fight you seriously!"

Chu Yang smiled, his pupils blooming with excited light, faintly carrying a bit of the bloodthirsty fanaticism from before.

Seeing this, Arlong shuddered violently, feeling cold in his heart.

The two sides fought again, giving up meaningless probing, and went straight to the simplest and crudest melee combat.

Fist to flesh!

However, Chu Yang, as a human, and Jinbe had extremely disparate body sizes, making it hard to believe that he could stand firm under Jinbe's fierce attack.

Chu Yang, with his youthful body, was only a line higher than Jinbe's waist, and his thighs were not as thick as the other's arms.

Fists against each other, like two matches hitting two logs that several people could hold together.

The visual contrast made this competition look particularly shocking in everyone's eyes.

Tiger was afraid that Chu Yang's small body would be broken by Jinbe in the next second.

Indeed.

Every confrontation made Chu Yang feel that his body was about to fall apart. The power transmitted from Jinbe's fist was like an invisible wave hitting every muscle and bone in his body.

A normal person would have long since been unable to hold on. But Chu Yang's self-healing ability was stronger than outsiders could imagine, giving him the capital to stand firm.

Coupled with the fact that Jinbe didn't use the power of Haki, everything was within Chu Yang's tolerance.

The battle between Chu Yang and Jinbe lasted from noon to dusk!

And then until the stars came out before it came to an end!

Jinbe had no strength left...

He simply lay on the deck, panting heavily, his whole body covered in blue and purple bruises, which was unbearable to look at.

On the other side, Chu Yang was also in a sorry state with a bruised nose and swollen face.

But Chu Yang had one point better than him, and that was that Chu Yang was still standing.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Yang, who had only learned Fish-Man Karate for a week, actually fought Jinbe to a draw without using Wood Release.

The result shocked everyone! Only one week! Chu Yang really turned from a novice who knew nothing about Taijutsu into an elite of Fish-Man Karate.

Tiger looked at Chu Yang blankly, as if looking at a monster of unknown origin.

Tiger, who had witnessed Chu Yang's ability in Mary Geoise, never felt that the other would be an ordinary boy, but Chu Yang's talent still shocked him.

Jinbe said speechlessly: "Kid, you are really tough!"

Chu Yang grinned and said: "You are not as tough as I imagined!"

"Hahaha!" Jinbe laughed loudly: "I lost this time. Let's do it again next time, but next time I won't hold back."

Chu Yang said angrily: "If you use Haki, I can't beat you, so forget it."

Jinbe replied: "You can also use Devil Fruit ability."

Chu Yang still shook his head and said: "Can't beat, can't beat..."

Jinbe had a headache, then thought of a compromise: "How about this, I'll teach you Haki, and we'll have another competition using Haki in the future."

Chu Yang showed a satisfied smile, then slowly slumped to the ground. He had persisted until now and really couldn't hold on anymore.

From today on, there would be no more gossip about Chu Yang in the Sun Pirates.

And no one dared to look at Chu Yang with discriminatory and hateful eyes.

No matter where Chu Yang went, what he could feel was the respectful gaze of others.

This is respect for the strong.

Only Arlong dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak. Even if he brushed shoulders with Chu Yang, he would lower his head and walk past Chu Yang quickly.

Two days after the competition, Chu Yang found Jinbe again with great interest to learn Haki from the other.

He really liked this state of learning everything twice as fast as others.

At every moment, he was significantly improving his strength.

Making people addicted to it, unable to extricate themselves.

"Truly a monster." Jinbe, who was still covered in blue and purple bruises, saw Chu Yang, who had already recovered as usual, and couldn't help but sigh: "Tell me honestly, are you really human?"

"Are you talking nonsense?!" Chu Yang rolled his eyes and asked back: "Where on my body doesn't look like a human?"

Jinbe marveled, shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like a human anywhere..."

"Don't beat around the bush and scold people!" Chu Yang said with a laugh: "Hurry up and teach me Haki!"

Helpless, Jinbe had to honestly explain the power of Haki to Chu Yang.

At the same time, Tiger, who was sitting in the captain's room, had a very ugly face. In his hand was the newspaper and bounty poster sent by the News Coo this morning.

On the bounty poster was him, with a bounty of 500 million Berries! (End of chapter)
