As Ryuya finished speaking, he released his hand. But unexpectedly, the moment he let go, Kalifa used "Shave" to get behind Ryuya, her fingers extended, and she mercilessly stabbed towards him!
"If you touch me again! Tekkai!"
Ryuya sighed. He realized just how bad this girl's temper was.
Slightly tilting his head, Ryuya dodged Kalifa's attack.
Simultaneously, an exact replica of Ryuya appeared behind Kalifa, instantly trapping her.
Kalifa's pupils constricted. She instantly realized what was happening and exclaimed in shock, "You're a Devil Fruit user!"
"You don't even know your opponent's abilities, and you just attack. You're truly an idiot."
Hearing Ryuya's words, the fire in Kalifa's chest ignited.
"Do you know my ability? Golden Bubble!"
Kalifa's hands instantly erupted with a large number of bubbles. Everything that these bubbles touched became incredibly slippery.
Kalifa used this to slip out of Ryuya's illusionary confinement.
The moment she broke free, Kalifa first kicked the illusion away with her foot, then quickly tapped her feet on the ground. The powerful recoil instantly propelled her body behind Ryuya.
"You're too careless! Tekkai!"
Her figure flashed, and Kalifa thrust out her index finger.
This Tekkai was even more powerful than before.
Kalifa had forgotten that this was just a training ground.
She was merely using this opportunity to test her strength.
She now used all her might, stabbing towards the back of Ryuya's head!
"Puchi!"
The moment her finger pierced the back of Ryuya's head, Kalifa sobered up!
Her pupils constricted.
The anger in her heart seemed to be extinguished by a bucket of cold water.
"Ho, how?"
Kalifa instinctively retracted her finger, looking at the scene in disbelief.
She thought Ryuya would react. After all, his reaction speed was so fast just now!
"Plop~"
Ryuya fell to the ground, his body like a puddle of mud.
It seemed to be constantly saying that Ryuya was dead, because of Kalifa!
More and more people noticed what was happening, and they gradually gathered around.
Kalifa quickly went to Ryuya and said to him, "Hey, hey, get up! Don't scare me! I really didn't mean to, wake up!"
Kneeling beside Ryuya, tears welled up in Kalifa's eyes.
"What happened?"
"It seems like Kalifa killed someone!"
"Killed someone? She accidentally killed someone in the training ground?!"
"It seems so, but why do I feel something's off?"
"Off? What's off?"
"Why didn't that man bleed at all after being pierced through the back of the head with Tekkai?"
…
The onlookers whispered among themselves.
Occasionally, a few louder voices reached Kalifa's ears.
This caused Kalifa, who was in the midst of a breakdown and crying, to pause for a moment.
"No, no blood?!"
Hearing this, Kalifa looked at the back of Ryuya's head.
Just then, Ryuya, lying on the ground, suddenly shattered.
Just like the illusion Kalifa had kicked away earlier.
As the Ryuya on the ground dissipated into thin air, three more Ryuya's appeared beside Kalifa.
These three Ryuya's surrounded Kalifa, leaving her no chance to use her abilities.
Everyone gathered around the training ground was completely baffled.
"Is this a Devil Fruit power?"
"It seems so!"
"What kind of Devil Fruit power is this? It looks so strong!"
"These three shouldn't be the real one, where is the real one?!"
…
"Shave!"
At this moment, Ryuya used "Shave" to arrive on top of a wooden training dummy.
"Five-Turn Illusion!"
The so-called Five-Turn Illusion was the name Ryuya had given this technique.
Five-Turn refers to the number of illusions created when using the ability.
Kalifa knelt on the ground, looking up at Ryuya, her lower lip tightly clenched.
She looked at Ryuya, her teeth gritted, and asked, "When did you create the illusion?!"
"At the beginning of the fight."
"So, I've been tricked since the start of the fight?"
Ryuya smiled and said nothing. He simply dispelled the illusions and said to Kalifa, "Don't be so impulsive next time. I'm here to participate in the Promotion Ceremony. Fleet Admiral Sengoku can vouch for that."
"You said you just arrived in Marineford, but why did you use 'Shave' from the Rokushiki?!"
Kalifa keenly noticed the technique Ryuya used to get on top of the wooden dummy.
"I saw you doing it here, so I learned it."
As Ryuya finished speaking, everyone who heard him was stunned.
"He learned it just by watching?!"
"This talent is terrifying!"
"That's Rokushiki! Many people can't even get started with it!"
…
Many people thought Ryuya was bragging.
But the technique Ryuya just used was indeed "Shave"!
In other words, Ryuya's talent was truly that powerful!
Kalifa slowly stood up from the ground. Her beautiful eyes, hidden beneath her glasses, were fixed on Ryuya.
It was as if she wanted to etch his face into her memory.
"I won't let you get away with this. I hope you don't lose too quickly tomorrow!"
After saying that, Kalifa left the crowd.
She was too embarrassed to stay there any longer.
After all, she was the one who started this fight, and she was tricked by Ryuya. Plus, she was a girl, so she held a grudge against Ryuya!
Seeing Kalifa's retreating figure, Ryuya didn't linger either.
Jumping down from the wooden dummy, he was about to go back to sleep.
Whether Kalifa would change her habits and become less bad-tempered in the future wasn't something Ryuya cared about.
But just as he was about to leave the crowd, a man wearing a deep red suit, with a "Justice" cape draped over his back and a military cap, came before Ryuya!
Ryuya knew this man well.
It was Akainu!
"Why aren't you wearing a uniform in Marineford Headquarters?"
Akainu, with a stern expression, said to Ryuya in a harsh tone.
"I'm here to participate in the Promotion Ceremony. It's my first time here. Fleet Admiral Sengoku should know."
"So, you're the one the Fleet Admiral was talking about!" Akainu continued, "I saw the fight just now. If you think you can win with your Devil Fruit ability and the Rokushiki you just learned, you're absolutely out of your mind.
I don't know why the Fleet Admiral would let someone as weak as you participate in this Promotion Ceremony!"
After saying these words, Akainu walked past Ryuya, not even looking back. He simply said, "Don't let me meet you in the first round, or I'll let you know the power of 'Justice!!!"
