Chương 359: 358 Last Main Commander, Jinbei
Kuzan observed the bubble film that trapped him, now floating in the air with him inside, and nodded slightly. It seemed Tesla's tactics were similar to his own strategy earlier —the bubbles were merely a distraction.
Kuzan recognized Tesla's earlier feint, but he was curious about what Tesla had planned next. Now that he saw it, he had to respond with his own counterattack.
He saw Kuzan covering his ice blade with a layer of Armament Haki and attacking fiercely, wanting to break through the bubble from the inside.
"It's not easy to destroy my bubble,"
Tesla thought, aware of Kuzan's strategy. Breaking through from the inside would require several times the strength.
As Kuzan's Armament Haki-covered ice blade stabbed at the bubble, a sharp thorn protruded from the outside of the bubble membrane, but it didn't pierce through.
"WHAT! He actually trapped Kuzan."
Because Tesla's bubble film was transparent, everyone could see what Kuzan was doing. So, when they realized even Kuzan couldn't break it with one blow, everyone was surprised.
"Nice one, Tesla! That Bubble Fruit power is really something. Kuzan can't seem to break it. We might have a chance after all,"
Charles Vane exclaimed suddenly.
"Exactly, it's not just the fruit. Tesla's fighting skills are impressive,"
Jinbei emphasized.
It's not just about Tesla's fruit ability; it's also about his development and excellent combat strategy.
"This guy can reach this level." Jozu, Vista, and the others were stunned. They always thought Tesla was weaker than them, but now it seems if Tesla were going to fight them. Tesla won't be an opponent they can win without a cost.
Even Whitebeard greatly admires Tesla, as even he underestimated Tesla's abilities before. But it's not just strength that impresses Whitebeard; it's Tesla's calm and strategic thinking in battle.
Only calm people can truly unleash their strength, even for those with extraordinary abilities, and Tesla is very good at this.
"It seems that Tesla's potential is very good, Guurarara."
Whitebeard burst into laughter. It was this test that brought out Tesla's potential to be known
Whitebeard is naturally happier the stronger his sons become, and after today's events, he decided to focus on nurturing Tesla to let his full potential shine.
"It's really tough,"
Kuzan sighed as he faced the impenetrable bubble film, feeling a little angry too.
"In that case…"
They watched as Kuzan touched his hand to the inner wall of the bubble film. A burst of freezing force followed, turning the space inside into a ball of ice in an instant.
Even Kuzan turned into an ice sculpture for a moment, but he quickly recovered. The bubble film around him turned into an icy layer, losing its toughness. Kuzan punched through the ice, broke it from the inside, and leaped out.
"It just took a short time…,"
Tesla remarked, a little surprised after seeing Kuzan break through.
He hoped the bubble film would hold Kuzan back for a while.
After using his fruit power several times in a row, Tesla's stamina was almost depleted. He wanted to take this time to rest and recover.
"Not bad, but it ends here," Kuzan praised Tesla. With those words, he shot an ice bird from his arm, following its trajectory.
The ice bird flew quickly, causing Tesla to feel a cold air pressure.
He raised his palm to create a barrier, but halfway through, it suddenly exploded. His physical strength couldn't handle it anymore
"Damn it!"
Tesla had no choice but to dodge, but his movements were slow, affected by the ice bird's trajectory. The cold instantly froze half of Tesla's body.
In the next moment, Kuzan appeared in front of Tesla. Tesla's pupils widened sharply, but he had no way to defend himself and was struck by Kuzan's flying kick.
The test was over. Although Tesla lost, there was thunderous applause all around, everyone cheering for him.
At this point, Tesla showed his own style. He fully demonstrated his abilities and combat experience. After fighting with a Marine Admiral for so long, he was a miracle compared to the other main commanders' results.
"Tesla, Tesla!"
The crew cheered for Tesla, especially the team he led, cheering fiercely.
Whitebeard flew in front of Tesla, patting him on the shoulder. "Good job. It seems your fighting spirit wasn't high enough in the past."
"Hahaha, just lucky, I guess," Tesla replied modestly, touching his head.
As everyone cheered for Tesla, Jinbei's expression grew more heavy. Tesla's performance was impressive, and after the fight, Kuzan's strength must have declined. If he loses badly now, many people will be disappointed.
"It's the old man's turn"
Jinbei said with an indifferent expression as he stepped onto the field. As expected, cheers erupted for Jinbei as everyone saw him.
After witnessing Tesla's fight, they all embraced Jinbei, their hopes not small.
"Come on, Jinbei, beat him!"
"The honor of the Whitebeard Pirates commander depends on you."
"Boss Jinbei, don't let us down."
Even Shirahoshi joined in silently, not cheering but truly hoping Jinbei would defeat the opponent. After all, among the Whitebeard Pirates, Jinbei was a Fishman like her.
So, Shirahoshi naturally hopes that Jinbei can bring more glory to Fish-Man Island, especially since her relationship with Jinbei is already very good.
However, Jinbei felt a bit pressured by these exaggerated words, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and prepared for battle.
"Jinbei? I wonder if your strength has improved since you left the Shichibukai"
Kuzan said, looking at Jinbei.
"Just give it a try,"
Jinbei replied.
After that, Jinbei attacked Kuzan, but being a steady character, his attacks were only tentative.
Jinbei slammed a Fishman Karate move, only to be blocked by Kuzan's ice gloves. Then they engaged in close-range combat, where Jinbei's Fishman Karate displayed formidable melee skills.
