Between Roja and Very Good there seem to be a gap.
Roja is tall and his body was proportional although he isn't thin but Very Good was taller than him and seemed stronger too.
Roja didn't have that much of an impression on Very Good all he remember is that Very Good has the Beri Beri no Mi that would let him split up to ball shaped part to avoid attacks.
Very Good stood with a look of arrogance while saying to Roja "Come on as you sempai i will let you have three move before i strike back."
"Sorry, I am in a hurry , three moves are too much trouble … move it"
Roja looked faintly at Very Good then gently drew his sword a red line suddenly ignited on The sword.
Sword flow Cremate!
Boom !
After Roja finished his swing a silver white light flashed followed by flames.
His swing was like a dragon coming out of it's lair.
Monsterious flame came crashing at Very Good which was mixed with that silver white energy which made that strike so much like dragon.
Originally when they heard Roja's words the veterans were stunned for a moment and exposed a look of ridicule and laughed at Roja.
but the next moment They eyes were staring whith their mouth agape reaching the ground.
"Flames !!!"
"What is this . Is it a devil fruit ?" (Tl : Don't be stupid, Ace will have that. )
Even those onlookers were stunned. Not only was there flames but also an incredible and sharp energy was with the flames and all they could think about is how to avoid it.
However the speed of which the flames and energy was very fast. Even if very good tried his best to avoid it he will still be hit by it.
Very Good was staring in horror while the flames rachedhis body.
The scene made those veterans dumbfounded even Ain and Sadi were stunned to see the power of Roja. Their faces changed again and again.
Boom!
Very Good's body which was under the flames bombardment suddenly broke into countless round balls scattering in all direction to avoid the flames and the sword energy that was in it
This his devil fruit ability.
And seeing this scene Roja didn't reveal any surprise to that but a look of contempt showed on his face.
Flames … whether a human or a ball doesn't matter.
You will still be burned!
Even if he split into so many balls but thosse ball still catch fire and the flame will wrap around every ball. The balls began to roll on the ground.
"Hot !"
One of the largest balls was Very Good's head which there wasn't any sgin of arrogance anymore but all he could do was yell in a strange way and his eyes revealed horror.
This is simply incredible Roja has the ability to use flames !!
This time everyone thougth that Roja had the fire Devil fruit ability which was stronger compared to Smoker's smoke ability as a logia because even if Smoker could use his ability for offense it's not as strong as fire.
The balls couldn't get away from the flames.
Seeing that he was going to burn alive Very Good screamed.
"I admit defeat!"
Very Good couldn't help but throw the towel.
After hearing him admit defeat Roja returned his blade into the scabbard and all the burning flames were extinguished.
Sword fire off.
All the balls with a Gulu Gulu sound rolled at each other and reformedd into Very Good's normal look. But He didn't have that arrogant look anymore as his body was in a sorry state.
Fortunately he wasn't burned by the flames for that long otherwise He may not stand up again.
Roja returned his sword and slightly shook his head and didn't look at Very Good but directly turned to leave.
The new comers knew about Roja's flame as they already witnessed it but still they were shocked of how strong that was.
"Faced an elite veteran and still … He want with a single strike ?"
"Is he really a new comer ?"
They were so shocked they couldn't help but mutter.
If those who new of his ability already are shocked then what about those in the elite camp.
Very Good wasn't an ordinary person.
He has the ability The devil fruit Beri Beri no Mi and also trained in the elite camp and was ranked in the middle and this Roja the newcomer only used one strike to defeat him.
Too incredible!
And what was that ability he used ?
It was flame.
Smoke sit as the strongest in the elite camp exactly for his Devil Fruit ability but the smoke doesn't have any strong offense but what about flames ?
This time the shocked veterans turned arounf to look at Smoker who had three sigars in his mouth.
"He isn't a devil fruit user."
Smoker looked at the back of Roja and after a moment of thought he recalled the scene that just accured "His flame didn't come from his body but was issued from his sword and many other details are different from a logia devil Fruit ability."
"Although i don't know were did that flame come from but it's not a devil fruit ability."
Smoke was logia user himself and was very familiar with every details of it So he could determine that what Roja used wasn't a devil fruit ability.
"Really , he isn't a devil fruit user ?"
"Well if you looked at it with logic and compare it with a logia type devil fruit then you can see that there is nothing comparable."
Hearing the words of Smoker many veteran were relieved.
"So that single strike win is only a coincidence ? That Mean if Very Good avoided that line of flames and attacked he wouldn't have lost."
"This is just Very Good understimating his opponent. He was so scared that he was a devil fruit user that he threw in the towel."
some veterans said this then looked at the charred body of Very Good. Although he wasn't injured he was extremely embarrassed as they laughed at him.
Then Very Good who was stunned for a moment had his face become black for a moment and he was extremely depressed.
"No i will find that kid and fight with him again."
"Ha ha ha, you still didn't change you clothes. See there Ain is extremely embarrassed to stay here."
One of the veterans pointed at a hole in Very Good's clothes and laughed.
Very Good that was laughed at had his face turn red looked at the hole in his clothes and left the training square hurriedly.
