Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 54 Don't talk without understanding the situation.

Upon hearing this, Hawkeye's face showed a hint of surprise, and he subconsciously asked:

"What do you mean by that?"

"What? Can't you tell?"

Kyle still had a smile on his lips, but his aura had gradually changed.

If the previous Kayle gave people the feeling of a sharp swordsman, the current Kayle gives people the feeling of a domineering monarch.

Purple lightning gradually coiled around his body, radiating a terrifying aura.

"I am a navy officer!"

"And you, are the naval hunter renowned for capturing our naval commanders!"

"Now, do you understand?"

"The second round of battle begins!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kyle's figure transformed into purple lightning and vanished from the spot in an instant, reappearing in front of Hawkeye.

Holding the purple lightning bolt, he slashed fiercely down at Hawkeye.

Hawkeye's pupils contracted slightly, shocked by Kyle's exaggerated speed, but the swordsman's subconscious reaction made him immediately draw his sword and charge.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out again, accompanied by the crackling of thunder.

Unlike before, this time Kyle wasn't just competing in swordsmanship; boundless and violent purple lightning erupted from his blade.

Hawkeye's body stiffened for a moment before he could react.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kyle wrapped his right foot in Armament Haki and kicked out fiercely.

Bang! !

A dull thud followed as Kyle's kick landed squarely on Hawkeye, sending him flying with tremendous force.

A muffled groan came from behind, and Hawkeye couldn't help but spit out a small mouthful of blood.

The tingling sensation throughout his body still made him feel slightly stiff.

However, before he could catch his breath, he suddenly felt the sky darken.

He subconsciously looked up and saw that Kyle had appeared above him at some point.

Another kick came flying at him.

Hawkeye's expression changed again, and he immediately held the Black Blade Night horizontally in front of him.

Kyle's kick landed on the blade, but the immense force still traveled through the blade to Hawkeye, sending him flying once again.

This time, his destination... was the sea!

Boom!!

The immense force coursing through his body, combined with the tingling sensation, prevented Hawkeye from making any significant movements. He simply plummeted into the sea, creating a large crater in the surface and sending waves crashing into the distance.

Strike while the iron is hot! Beat a dog when it's down!

Kyle understood these principles perfectly, so...

Sizzle!

A violent purple lightning bolt instantly wrapped around Kyle's hands, and then slammed down onto the sea below.

The moment it hit the sea, the lightning spread outwards at an extremely fast speed.

In just a moment, the surrounding ocean transformed into a sea of ​​thunder, with countless bolts of lightning raging across its surface.

Kyle smiled slightly. Since it was no longer a battle between swordsmen, he could use some tactics to take advantage of the environment.

On this vast ocean, the combat environment is undoubtedly very favorable for Kyle.

However, when he fought Hawkeye as a swordsman, Kyle did not take advantage of this and instead tried to avoid it.

But things are different now.

The Navy and Navy Hunters are enemies. Since they are enemies, winning is the most important thing!

With this in mind, Kyle's purple lightning became even more ferocious, and endless lightning surged into the ocean.

It gave Hawkeye, who was in the sea, a thunderous bath.

Falling into the sea is no different from trapping a dog in a cage for Kyle.

All he had to do was mindlessly unleash lightning into the sea, leaving the rest to the conductivity of the seawater.

Before long, as if sensing something, Kyle stopped releasing lightning and suddenly a purple lightning chain condensed from his right palm, extending into the seawater.

A few seconds later, a figure emerged from the sea, pulled by chains of lightning. Large patches of his body were charred black, with occasional wisps of purple lightning flashing within his torn flesh.

Hawkeye had already lost consciousness.

Kyle glanced at him, then conjured another lightning chain in his palm and sent it into the water, this time bringing out the Black Blade Night.

Immediately afterwards, Kyle flew towards the warship, carrying one person and a sword.

Hawkeye was simply unlucky to run into him here.

In a one-on-one fight on land, even if Kyle went all out, he might not be able to defeat Hawkeye.

But the problem is that reality doesn't offer so many "what ifs".

The current battle environment is the ocean, and Hawkeye was knocked into the sea because he was unfamiliar with his abilities, so there's not much to say about that!

His Purple Heaven Divine Lightning could even harm someone with Garp's physique, so how could Hawkeye possibly withstand it, especially in this kind of lightning bath?

Although Hawkeye is known as the Navy Hunter, he only captures Navy officers and does not kill them. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the Navy long ago!

Therefore, Kyle naturally wouldn't kill him. He would take Hawkeye back to Marine Headquarters, and how to deal with him would be left to his grandfather and the others to decide.

……

-

On the other side, at the Navy Headquarters, in the elite training camp, at the drill ground.

"Rubber, rubber..."

A childish voice rang out, and Luffy was seen fighting a boy who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old in an open space.

Luffy threw a punch, which grazed the boy's face, startling him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly took a big step back, putting some distance between himself and Luffy.

"Shh!!!"

The next moment, a loud jeer erupted from the crowd.

Countless students from the elite naval training camp surrounded the two people in the center, mocking the young man:

"No way, As!"

"Are you trying to embarrass us elite training camp students? Luffy is making you sweat buckets? Keep in mind he's only six years old!"

"Ugh! Seriously, I wasn't going to go unless I was bullying the kid, but I didn't expect your performance, As..."

Sighs and taunts echoed, causing a vein to bulge on Yass's forehead as he roared towards the sidelines:

"You bastards, don't just stand there and talk like you know what's going on!"

"You'll find out when you have the chance to fight Luffy yourselves, but until then, shut your mouths and just watch how I defeat Luffy!"

"You have the nerve to spout nonsense even though you didn't play!"

After finishing his rant, Yass turned his gaze back to Luffy, who was standing not far away, and his expression gradually became serious.

If at the beginning of their fight he thought Luffy was just a kid who could be easily bullied...

After several encounters, he realized that Luffy was a bit overpowered, not at all like a six-year-old child, and was putting considerable pressure on him.

Keep in mind that he's almost ten years older than Luffy!

Although he was at the bottom of the elite training camp, he was already much stronger than ordinary navy personnel of the same age.

But no matter what, he can't lose today, otherwise he will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in the elite training camp, without any surprises!

Before he could think too much, his pupils suddenly contracted, as a fist appeared in front of him without him noticing.
