A month passed in the blink of an eye. During this month,
Ryuya mainly focused on Ain's swordsmanship training.
He brought Ain's swordsmanship to the mid-level Supreme-Grade Swordsman level, which was already the level of most Vice Admirals.
For Stella, Ryuya focused on physical training and Devil Fruit ability development.
However, what Ryuya didn't expect was that Stella's talent was surprisingly good.
Her application of the Devil Fruit's abilities far exceeded Ryuya's expectations.
Hina's strength also increased several times compared to before.
However, Hina wasn't the third person, so no matter how strong she was, Ryuya didn't plan to let her participate.
Training ground.
It was already packed with people.
Countless Navy soldiers gathered here.
They all wanted to watch this competition.
After all, such an opportunity rarely occurred on ordinary days.
They were all curious whether Ryuya would win or Kizaru would take the lead.
"I think White Dove will most likely lose!"
"I think so too. After all, White Dove's team is all women!"
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you saying that? I'm more envious of White Dove's popularity with women!"
"But he definitely can't beat Kizaru's people, right?"
"Sigh, White Dove is being too arrogant this time!"
...
Although these soldiers were whispering with their heads down.
Ain and the others still heard them.
Ain looked at Ryuya and said, "Ryuya-sama, can you tell me who our third person is?"
Ryuya smiled, "That, you'll have to wait and see. If she doesn't agree, we'll be short one person."
Ryuya continued, "But isn't this a best-of-three match? As long as you two can win, even without the third person, it's not a problem."
After saying this, Ryuya turned to look at Ain and Stella.
Ain and Stella's eyes were full of confidence. They assured Ryuya, "Don't worry, Ryuya-sama, I definitely won't disappoint you."
"Master, Stella will definitely not disappoint you either."
Ryuya nodded slightly, but still said, "However, it's important to fight within your limits. If you really can't win, just retreat."
Hearing Ryuya's words of concern, the two girls felt a warmth in their hearts.
As time passed, it was already 9:00 AM.
It was time for the competition to officially begin.
Ryuya and Kizaru stood on the training ground, facing each other.
The sun was blazing, and the air was filled with a hot and humid atmosphere.
"Admiral White Dove, you look very confident."
"Yes, I never do anything without preparation."
Ryuya said calmly, looking at Kizaru in front of him.
Seeing Ryuya's calm demeanor, Kizaru twitched his mouth, "Oh la la~ That's so scary~ Then, Admiral White Dove, who are you sending out first?"
"Stella."
As soon as Ryuya finished speaking, the surrounding crowd suddenly erupted in a wave of boos.
"Stella? Is she Admiral White Dove's maid?"
"How strong can a maid be?"
"So, White Dove is really arrogant."
"It seems that his recent string of successes has made Admiral White Dove too arrogant!"
...
Stella clearly heard the whispers from the people around her.
But she didn't say anything.
Strength was the best explanation.
Wearing a maid outfit, Stella, under everyone's gaze, came to the center of the training ground.
Kizaru saw this scene, the wrinkles on his face deepening.
He couldn't figure out what White Dove was trying to do.
In such an important competition, he actually sent out a maid.
Was he looking down on him?
"Vice Admiral John Giant, I'll leave the first match to you."
"No problem."
A voice like a muffled thunder suddenly rang out on the training ground.
A giant, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly stood up.
He was a giant Vice Admiral, ten meters tall, two meters taller than Whitebeard II.
He was powerfully built, wielding a blunt heavy sword!
Judging from his size alone, Stella was absolutely no match for Vice Admiral John Giant!
Fortunately, the training ground was large enough to withstand the Vice Admiral's attacks.
When everyone saw Vice Admiral John Giant come onto the field, they were shocked.
"Don't think about it. A maid couldn't possibly beat Vice Admiral John Giant, a member of the Giant race!"
"Yeah, such a beautiful vase, why not keep her by your side? Why send her to 'die'?"
"White Dove is really too arrogant!"
...
Vice Admiral John Giant looked down at Stella from his height, his muffled voice echoing, "Little girl, you're no match for me. You should just give up. It'll be bad if you get hurt."
Stella ignored Vice Admiral John Giant, simply looking at him expressionlessly.
Waiting for the battle to begin.
Seeing Stella's determination, Vice Admiral John Giant said, "Be careful. I won't hold back!"
Just as Vice Admiral John Giant finished speaking, Sengoku also announced the official start of the competition.
"Take this! A giant's heavy blow!"
Vice Admiral John Giant raised his fist high.
His giant fist flew towards Stella at high speed.
The wind pressure was fierce.
The sleeves of Vice Admiral John Giant's uniform also made a "whoosh" sound in the air.
"Hey, dodge quickly!"
"Are you blind?"
"It's over. A beautiful flower is about to wither!"
...
Just as everyone's hearts were about to leap into their throats,
Stella's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Rasetsu Form!"
As Stella muttered, a pitch-black aura suddenly bloomed from her body.
The aura enveloped Stella.
Her slender arms and long legs transformed into sharp blades.
Stella, who was clearly wearing a maid outfit, exuded a mysterious and eerie aura.
This aura made people's hearts tremble with fear.
Stella, with strange patterns on her body, bent her legs slightly.
She leaped from the ground, leaving two sword marks!
Her arms, transformed into blades, propelled her body, and she began to spin.
Before anyone could react,
Stella's figure had already circled Vice Admiral John Giant's arm once.
Then Stella's transformation was undone, revealing Stella's harmless appearance once more.
Stella then performed a maid's curtsy towards Ryuya.
The next second...
