Just half a month after the meeting between Lukar and the others, the Navy Headquarters called.
brubru——
"Moxi Moxi, are you from Lukar's side? I am Sengoku."
"Sengoku General, I am Nishizawa, Lukar is sparring with Barrett."
On the warship, Nishizawa answered the phone call from headquarters.
Yes, it was inconvenient for Lukar to bring the phone bug with him during training, otherwise the poor phone bug would be affected if he didn't pay attention to it, so he gave the phone bug to Caesar for safekeeping.
"It's okay. It's the same with you, Nishizawa. I'm calling you this time to inform you to go back to the headquarters. There's no need to stay on Cora Island anymore. It's enough to have Major General Norris in charge."
"Go back to headquarters?"
Nishizawa thought that he would directly notify them and assign the task to them, but he did not expect that he would still need to go back to the headquarters this time.
"Well, come back. It's been almost a year since you all left the headquarters. It's just a good time to come back. The tasks from the headquarters will be awarded to you personally."
"Yes, Warring States General, I will arrange the return trip immediately."
Caesar replied simply.
He originally planned to ask about the outcome of the previous incident on Hera Island, but the Warring States Period didn't mention it, and nothing else happened after that, so he canceled his plan to ask.
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. We'll talk about it when you come back."
"yes."
After hanging up the phone bug, Warring States took out another phone bug from his desk and dialed.
"Moxi Moxi..."
…
"Lucar, Barrett, please pause for a moment. The headquarters is here to notify you."
After Nishizawa ended the call, he immediately flew out of the warship using the Moon Step and came to the desert island to inform Lukar and the others.
Yes, since the annual meeting, Nishizawa felt that there might be a notification from the headquarters in the near future, so he has been docking the warship here. He has not sailed back to Kola Island. He only goes there to replenish supplies when supplies are insufficient.
During the battle, Lukar had always activated his cognizant haki. Sensing that Caesar was approaching, he directly erected a stone wall between him and Barrett to separate the battle scene.
"Stop, Barrett."
Seeing Barrett break the stone wall directly, he wanted to continue fighting and had no intention of stopping.
"This kid, I don't know who he learned it from. He gets on top whenever we fight."
Lukar shook his head helplessly, and without stopping, he clasped his hands together.
"Earthbound!!"
A huge black and red hand rose from in front of Lukar, grabbing Barrett who rushed over, holding his waist and controlling him firmly.
"Ah!! Kilan Kicks!!"
Barrett's feet turned dark blue, and a series of slashing waves were sent out from his toes.
It's a pity that not only Barrett used the armed color Haki, but the big hand summoned by Lukar also came with the armed color, and it withstood Barrett's attack.
Hey, this kid needs to wake up.
Taking advantage of the time when Barrett was under control, Lukar bent his right hand backwards to accumulate strength, and the entire ground began to crack open with cracks.
"Rock Breaking Fist—Giant Spear!!"
Lukar aimed the charged straight punch at Barrett and swung it out with all his strength. Barrett, who had just escaped from the big hand, had no time to dodge and hit him directly in the front.
I saw a figure streaking through the air and launching out like a missile. The stone pillars blocking the road were all shattered by the missile like tofu.
It didn't hit the ground until it lost power.
"hiss..."
Caesar gasped when he saw this scene. I just came here to inform you that it's time to end the battle and prepare to go back to the Navy Headquarters.
Why do you want to decide the outcome of life and death directly? Not really.
Caesar was so shocked that he couldn't speak. For a moment, he forgot what he was going to do here.
"Haha, Caesar, what happened."
Lukar smiled and walked towards Caesar.
Caesar didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Barrett's flight.
"You said Barrett, he was over there. I just smashed him over. There is something wrong with you. This kid wants to continue beating me. I can only smash him away."
He didn't feel Caesar's emotions and continued to answer easily, as if he was talking about a bug he had just shot away.
When Caesar heard Lukar's answer, he didn't know where to start with this reply that was full of flaws.
Shaking his head, he ignored what was happening now and conveyed the message he originally wanted to convey.
"Well, I came here to tell you that General Warring States has informed us to return to the headquarters."
"Oh? So fast, Caesar, your estimate is really accurate. As expected, you came to inform us, then let's go."
After Lukar finished speaking, he walked directly towards the warship.
Caesar was left stunned on the spot before he could react. He found that Lukar had started to leave and quickly chased after him.
"What about Barrett? You don't care about him?"
Finally, Caesar asked the doubts in his heart.
"Barrett? Isn't he coming here on his own later? Look, look over there."
Hearing Caesar's question, Lukar turned his head and glanced behind.
"Captain, didn't you agree to fight with only physical skills? Why did you start using fruit abilities?"
Sure enough, Barrett's figure was seen flying over from behind with a moonwalk. His black military uniform was severely damaged, but Kari didn't appear to have much injuries on his body. Only a trace of wiped blood remained at the corner of his mouth.
"Ha, I told you, pause for a moment, your behavior of being a top dog when fighting is unacceptable. You can't lose your cool during fighting. I don't know who you learned this from."
Lukar said in a half-reprimanding, half-teaching tone. He didn't pay attention to who he learned from when he mentioned it. Barrett's eyes were staring straight at him.
Caesar also glanced at Lukar with a strange look, and then looked at Barrett. It could be seen that although there were some injuries from the attack just now, they were only minor injuries and would not affect subsequent actions.
He said softly, with envy in his eyes.
"Those who practice physical arts are monsters."
For him, swordsmanship is more about enhancing attack power. A powerful swordsman can be unafraid of any defense, but in terms of physical fitness, few can compare with those who practice physical skills.
"Caesar, what did you just say?"
Lukar seemed to have just heard Caesar talking, but he didn't hear it clearly, so he asked.
"It's nothing. Since Barrett is fine, let's go back."
Caesar shook his head. He didn't want to say anything more to these two monsters. It was useless no matter how much he admired him. He did not have such a strong innate physical fitness. It was destined that it would be difficult for him to go far in the road of being a strong physical athlete. Swordsmanship was the real thing. his pursuit.
On the way back to the warship, Barrett kept nagging beside Lukar about his cheating on using his abilities.
"Oh, if you don't use fruit abilities and only use physical skills, I don't know how long it will take. This kid has improved too much."
Of course, these words were just what Lukar was thinking in his mind, and he did not say them out loud. Regarding Barrett's talent in physical skills, he had never seen anyone better.
In less than a year, Barrett's armed color has improved to the point where he can fight in actual combat, and after integrating ghost energy, he can compete with himself. His own training speed in armed color is not as fast as his.
From the easy violent beating at the beginning, to now it is difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time using only physical skills. But if I use the fruit ability, it will be another picture.
