Chapter 81: Battle

“Why is he so talented? How did he do that?”

“If this continues, I’ll definitely lose. No, I must find his weakness.”

General No. 1 looked flustered and felt emotional.

His face was grim. He had been thinking to himself that as a newcomer, Occam would not find any flaws.

“That’s right, definitely. There must be something like this. There must be something he didn’t do best. There must be some flaw he doesn’t even know about. As long as I find it, I can defeat him.”

“I can, definitely. He’s just a recruit. He’s not a veteran. He’s not that good at it. I can’t go against him face-to-face.”

General No. 1 stared at Occam. He was looking for a weakness and a chance to counterattack.

As long as he found the flaw, he would still have a chance to win.

In other words, he did this for the sake of Occam.

It would be better for Occam if he found Occam’s weakness instead of allowing Occam’s enemies to find his weakness in the future. If the enemy found Occam’s weakness, he would die straight away.

If he found it, at least he would not let him die. It was just to determine the winner.

“Occam, don’t let me find a chance to fight back.”

Occam looked confused when he heard that.

“How is that possible, I don’t even know?”

Occam did not care. He did not care about the flaws. He just wanted to quickly finish and sleep.

What was he doing here? He wanted to go back to rest. It was too tiring to be here.

Even if he did not have to do anything here, it was like the difference between slacking in the company and slacking outside.

The feeling of slacking in the company and slacking outside was completely different.

“Forget it. You won’t listen even if I tell you. Work hard yourself,” Occam said nonchalantly.

General No. 1 certainly did not know that his opponent, Occam, had added almost 1500 points to his Haoshoku Haki.

In addition, he was able to use Armament Haki to cover it. This was a skill that only he mastered. No one else can do it.

Moreover, if General No. 1 wanted to find the flaw, he needed to know the principle of Armament Haki coverage. How was he going to find the flaw if he did not know the principle?

If one did not know the principle of the bicycle’s actions, how was one going to find the flaws?

Occam could understand this principle, but General No. 1 could not. He felt that this guy was so silly.

If he could find the flaw, it meant that he was not far from mastering the skill of Armament Haki coverage.

“Don’t be too smug. Usually, those who are pleased with themselves will fail.”

When General No. 1 saw Occam acting like this, he was a little embarrassed and immediately became angry.

“I didn’t say that. You were too serious. I didn’t even want to fight.”

Occam said innocently. He knew it would be difficult for him to defeat General No. 1 with his current strength.

He appeared to have the upper hand now, but it was only on the surface.

Right now, he could only attack and defend. It was too difficult to defeat General No. 1.

Currently, he could not find such an ability nor did he know how to do it. In any case, it was not easy. Of course, he could do it. However, this was just a spar and there was no need for that.

A life and death battle was rare.

Occam himself did not know what the outcome of his fight with General No. 1 would be.

In any case, he could not defeat General No. 1 at this stage.

“Bam!!! Bam!!!”

“!! Boom! Boom!!”

Loud sounds were heard from this place.

The huge commotion left everyone with lingering fear.

However, they were not ordinary people. They were not people who needed protection. They were soldiers. Soldiers charged forward bravely.

They would go wherever it was dangerous. The more dangerous it was, the more people would go.

A huge commotion attracted them. The marines on the fortress and the marines on the square ran out to see what was going on.

A group of people walked out and looked in the direction of the incident. That direction was where the commotion came from.

When they saw that the masked man was in the Marshal’s office and that there was a huge hole, they were shocked.

What was that place? That was a place for a group of Generals, yet such a thing actually happened. How was this possible?!!

This was too terrifying!

The Marines ran out one after another and more and more people came out to take a look. Seeing the huge hole and how General No. 1 was attacking, they felt the humiliation.

They broke out in cold sweat.

“What on earth happened?”

Someone asked a question. They did not know what had happened. Why did they suddenly start fighting?

Moreover, they did not hear the alarm of the enemy’s attack, nor did they hear the order to send troops.

“That’s General No. 1, right? What’s going on? Who is General No. 1 fighting?”

“It looks like General No. 1 is at a disadvantage!”

“Who is it? He’s so powerful. In my impression, General No. 1 has always been the strongest. Now, there’s actually someone he can’t defeat!”

“No, General No. 1 is currently at a disadvantage. He has no choice.”

“I don’t believe it. General No. 1 is very strong. He must be sparring with someone else, so he doesn’t dare to use his full strength. If he uses his full strength, he can definitely win.”

“That’s true. General No. 1 is very strong. If he really fought seriously, this fortress could be destroyed. In other words, the situation that General No. 1 chose was only temporary.”

“That’s hard to say. We still don’t know who he is fighting. What if General No. 1 really can’t win?”

“That’s right. I think what you said is reasonable and neutral. If you really want to compete with General No. 1, aren’t you insulting the General?”

“We can’t just sit there!”

“This is hard to say. When this battle began, I didn’t know what happened. When did it begin? Why did it only begin now?”

“I’m not sure, but I’ve never heard of anyone coming. Could it be a General?”

“I think it’s strange. Who on earth could fight with General No. 1 like this? It’s so hard!”

“That’s true. Could it be? I mean, is there a possibility that General No. 1 is fighting a new general? That’s testing the new general’s capability. As soon as it’s over, he’ll announce that a new general has arrived?”

“The possibility… is not very high, is it?”

“I don’t think it’s big. Every time a new general shows up, he would bring it up. It hasn’t happened yet.”
