High in the air, Stella felt enveloped by death.
In her pupils, Chaton's figure grew larger and larger.
She tried to dodge in the air.
But—
She couldn't dodge!
She couldn't dodge at all!
It seemed she was going to die!
Stella came to her senses, feeling death approaching, and slowly closed her eyes.
She recalled her life, like a kaleidoscope.
But the happiest moments were undoubtedly those spent with her master.
"Master, perhaps I'm really going to die."
Just as Stella whispered, Ryuya's voice echoed in her ears.
Hearing Ryuya's voice, Stella joyfully opened her eyes.
What met her gaze was her master's broad back.
All the soldiers, seeing this scene, couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"How did White Dove get up there?"
"It was just the blink of an eye, and another person appeared."
"That's a Vice Admiral candidate's full-powered attack! Is White Dove being too reckless?"
...
In the air,
Ryuya stood casually in front of Stella, his palm not even coated with Armament Haki.
He simply extended a finger.
In an instant, the fang touched Ryuya's fingertip.
The ferocious attack was easily blocked by Ryuya.
The resulting hurricane blew towards Ryuya's back.
His cloak of justice billowed in the wind.
Also blown were the blood-red hairs of Stella in her Rasetsu form.
The fang, which could pierce walls and cause the ground to crack, couldn't even pierce Ryuya's skin.
"Ho, how is this possible!"
Chaton looked at this scene in disbelief.
A huge wave crashed in his heart: White Dove! He, he actually blocked it with a single finger! This is absolutely impossible!
Not only was Chaton shocked, but Sengoku also found it unbelievable.
If he had used peak Armament Haki to block Chaton's attack so easily, Sengoku wouldn't have been too surprised.
But Ryuya didn't use it, and there wasn't even a single change on his body.
Wait, there is a change!
With his sharp senses, Sengoku detected a faint aura emanating from Ryuya.
But Sengoku couldn't analyze what this aura was.
At this moment, Kizaru transformed into a beam of light, arriving beside Ryuya, and questioned him, "White Dove, what are you doing! Are you planning to make a move yourself?"
"How could I make a move myself? I'm just protecting my subordinate. We'll abide by the rules of the bet."
As soon as Ryuya finished speaking, Stella also undid her Rasetsu form, returning to her beautiful and charming self.
The soldiers' favor towards Ryuya grew even stronger.
After all, Ryuya's actions showed that he was an Admiral who fiercely protected his subordinates!
They understood what this meant.
Many soldiers were thinking about joining Ryuya's camp if he won this time.
Unknowingly, Ryuya's image grew even greater in the hearts of many soldiers.
Sengoku clearly sensed the soldiers' thoughts.
But he could only sigh helplessly in his heart: White Dove, are you planning to start building momentum? Are you planning to create another faction to compete with them for resources?
Although Sengoku knew this, he was helpless.
Because the momentum was with Ryuya!
Irresistible!
Kizaru breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ryuya's words.
Everyone descended from the air and landed on the ground.
Kizaru revealed a somewhat lecherous smile and said to Ryuya, "White Dove, now we've each won a round. Who are you sending out next?"
Chaton, at this moment, also laughed triumphantly, saying to Ryuya with an even more lecherous smile, "Admiral White Dove, frankly speaking, none of your subordinates are my match!"
Chaton seemed to have regained his confidence.
However, hearing their words, Ryuya's expression remained calm.
With a gentle smile, he looked at Kizaru and Chaton, as if talking to himself, "Yes, who should I send out next?!"
Ain, beside him, looked at Ryuya and then at Gion in the distance, already having a guess.
Time ticked by.
Sengoku, acting as the referee, spoke at this moment, "White Dove, if you don't choose a contestant, it'll be considered a forfeit."
As soon as Sengoku finished speaking, the soldiers began to whisper.
"Sure enough, although Admiral White Dove is incredibly powerful, his foundation is still too weak."
"It seems that Admiral Kizaru will win the Science Force."
"Should we join the Neutral Faction? The Neutral Faction led by Admiral Kizaru has pretty good resources."
...
"Then, I'll send out..."
Before Ryuya could finish speaking, a figure walked out from the crowd.
This figure was extremely tall, and a spider tattoo adorned her long, slender legs.
This didn't diminish her beauty.
Instead, it added a touch of allure.
Her aura was even more striking!
"I'll be your opponent in this match."
Chaton's pupils constricted when he saw the newcomer.
"Gi, Gion! Why are you on Admiral White Dove's side! You're not..."
Chaton looked at Sengoku on the stage.
Sure enough, Sengoku's face turned incredibly ugly.
Kizaru's heart tightened at this moment.
He unconsciously blurted out, "What's going on? Why is Gion here!"
Hearing Kizaru's words, Gion seemed to be talking to herself, "Mainly because I've been annoyed with you for a long time, Vice Admiral Chaton!"
Gion emphasized the last few words!
Because this lecherous man had confessed to her a hundred times, although she had mercilessly rejected him every time.
But he was still disgusting, so she came to fight Chaton.
However, was that really the case?
The smile on Ryuya's lips widened.
He knew that since Gion had appeared, this competition was practically won.
On the training ground,
The soldiers erupted with even more enthusiasm than before.
Because compared to Chaton, Gion's popularity was clearly much higher.
"Gion! Gion! Gion!"
...
The surrounding soldiers kept shouting Gion's name.
Seeing this, Sengoku, with an unsightly expression, raised both hands to suppress the crowd and said in a low voice, "Now, let the match begin!"
