It is said: "Since the opening of the era of pirates, countless strong men have emerged."

But what exactly is "strong"?

At this moment, for those trapped by the wall of fire, there may already be an answer.

……

An uninhabited island the size of a town was smashed with a knife.

The aftermath swept the surface of the sea into a whirlpool, swallowing up the fragments of the islands and rolling up large waves!

Whew-

Crash!

Many boats could not withstand the high waves and capsized on their sides.

The people above jumped into the sea to survive, swimming to the few large boats that barely held on.

"Be careful!"

"Ahem! cough cough cough ......"

"Hurry up, there's still someone over there!"

“……”

After a lot of busywork, all the people in the sea were rescued, and the riot barely subsided.

The young soldier was soaking wet, leaning back against the mast, slumped down, and exhaled a long breath and said, "Finally, it's safe......"

"No, not yet."

Another voice came, tired and hoarse.

It's Bell.

He and Gaka desperately defended Kobra at the last moment, and the blow of Ember was not murderous, so it ended up that three people were injured.

Both Kobra and Gaka went to settle the wounded, leaving the most seriously wounded Bell to rest alone on the deck.

Bell looked at the soldier and smiled helplessly.

Raising his eyes to look at the two figures in mid-air, he muttered to himself:

"Until they decide the winner, we don't have any 'security' at all......"

……

Call! Call!

Call! Call!

The four wings, divided into two pairs, vibrated up and down.

The two burly bodies remained in a state of stasis, standing opposite each other.

“……”

Ember's gaze sank slightly, adjusting his breathing, the ring of flames behind his head still burning.

These flames were what made him special as a remnant of the Luna clan.

As long as the flames are still there, his defense will be greatly increased, enough to survive in all natural environments!

Evan Lindsay's attack was truly terrifying.

It may seem brutal and violent, but in fact, each blow squeezes the speed and power to the limit, and it is almost impossible to avoid it!

If it weren't for the fact that Ember kept the flame burning all the time, I was afraid that the winner would have been decided just now.

Next up......

Go on?

No.

There is one more important thing.

Ember narrowed his eyes and looked at the "person" in front of him again, his pupils shrunk, and his eyes were slightly shocked.

That's really...... Evan Lindsay?

The burly, stout physique was gone.

In its place, there is a slender body that is slightly thin.

The shriveled skin was a dull blue, and the sharp teeth and fangs sharpened the ears.

The wings on the back are distinctly different from those of the embers.

The Lunarians were born with wings, the kind with feathers.

And Evan Lindsay's is the standard meat wing!

The joints on both sides are open and connected to the light gray wing membranes, which are very similar to the "wings of the pterodactyl" that Ember transforms after activating the fruit ability!

“……”

Rao is as arrogant as an ember, and he can't help but sigh that there is nothing wrong with the world government calling Evan Lindsay a [demon].

Abnormal.

Indisputable "anomalous"!

And the most surprising thing about Ember is Lindsay's posture at the moment.

Holding a long black knife, his arms drooping, the sword hanging down to the sea.

If it weren't for the huge difference in appearance, Ember would almost feel like he was looking in a mirror!

As Evan Lindsey said before -

"I'm learning from you."

“……”

Ember was silent.

He can be sure that what Lindsay is not doing is "imitating", but "learning"!

Because at this moment, the "line" in the middle of Evan Lindsay's body has become straight, and it is completely loose before.

This cannot be "imitated", it can only be "learned"!

“……”

"Tsk!"

Ember paused for a long time, but finally let out only one such exclamation.

He had already realized that if he wanted to obtain the text of history, he would have to go through a bitter battle, so he would not back down at all.

Everything was as he said-

Destiny is predestined!

……

Ode!

Vibrating its wings, Ember rushed in front of Lindsay, swinging his knife and slashing.

Bite!

The two black knives collided with each other and were in a stalemate.

Ember looked at Lindsay.

In that unusual crimson glow, the pupil of one of Lindsay's eyes had changed.

The round pupils are gone, replaced by three unbroken horizontal lines, arranged in an isosceles trapezoid.

Its name is "Qian"!

Heavenly Demon Nishiki Form!

“……”

Ember exhaled softly, then shifted her gaze to lock onto the pair of wings behind Lindsay.

The wing membrane on it shakes a few times from time to time to maintain the body's balance under the violent impact.

"Is that so?

Ember understood.

He figured out why Evan Lindsey didn't use the ability to "fly" in the first place, but he had to wait until now.

Don't want to?

No.

Yes and no!

There are too few people with wings on their backs on this sea, and even fewer can use them in battle.

That animal powerhouse in Alabastan?

He may have inspired Evan Lindsay, but it wasn't enough for him to develop his abilities further!

And now, through the battle with himself, [Demon] has finally barely learned the basics of aerial combat with his wings.

"But that's just the basics."

As Ember continued to exert his strength, Lindsay's wings trembled even more, and he couldn't help but sneer:

"With the wings of a newborn, can you keep up with me!"

"Hah!"

Hearing this, Lindsay grinned, and her wings flapped faster, continuing to exert strength.

"Let's try!"

“……”

There was a brief silence.

The next second-

Ode!

The figures of the two disappeared in place at the same time.

I could only hear a "ding" sound in the air around me, and it was actually dozens of collisions between blades!

On the nearby sea, all the people who witnessed this scene couldn't help but hold their breath and stare at the air.

Let the sun sting his eyes, tears flowed, and he refused to drop his eyelids.

This is a rare "air battle" on the sea!

If you miss any scene because of your own reasons, you won't be willing to die!

……

Ding Ding!

Metal & Dirt & Stone, Black Knife & Black Knife, Armed & Armed Color!

The two sides collided, exploding countless sparks in mid-air.

Bite!

After another collision, Ember deliberately retreated even more, then took the knife in one hand and activated the fruit ability, turning the other hand into a pterodactyl's wing.

The wings behind him trembled, causing the embers to swoop forward at breakneck speed.

"Let's learn again, [Demon]!"

The wings of the pterosaur were wrapped in armed domineering, turned into a hard hammer, and slammed into Lindsay.

Lindsey did the same, wrapping the ancient armament color around one wing and then jumping upwards.

As soon as they went up, the voices of both sides staggered.

Zheng!

A violent and piercing roar resounded high in the air.

If one move fails, there will be the next move!

Ember's body changed to a pterodactyl form, and then he jerked his head so that it was as tense as a slingshot, aiming at Lindsay diagonally above.

This trick seems inexplicable, but it is like a laser beam with great lethality, which is extremely difficult to defend!

"Look at it, [Demon]!"

"This is how ancient pterosaurs hunted!"

On the other side, Lindsay craned her neck high, her body elongated, and emerald green scales grew from her back to the tips of her wings.

Westwood Howling Wind - Composite Form!

Open your fangs and fangs, accumulating air and power.

……

Erupt!

……

Lindsey and Ember, one diagonally up and the other diagonally down, aimed at each other at the same time, and erupted in a fatal blow.

Crazy air currents in a composite form——

Growl!

and the huge impact caused by pulling the head of the wing dragon back-

Mink self-esteem emperor!

Rumble!

The two collided in the middle of the two, and the aftermath of the eruption was transmitted to the surface of the sea, rolling up even bigger waves!

Crash!

When the sea calmed down a little, the people on the deck looked up again, but saw two people still standing opposite each other in mid-air.

……

Both Lindsay and Ember have returned to the way they were when they first faced off.

Holding two black knives of the same size, they looked at each other.

The two of them knew very well that they had done their best, and that it was time for them to make their final move.

The winner is about to be decided!

As for what this trick is, the two already have the answer in their hearts......

……

Lindsey and Ember retracted their swords from their sheaths at the same time, then bent over, their wings fluttering behind their backs.

Ember said, "Here, slash again!" ”

Lindsey nodded.

"Well, another slash!"
