Chapter 363: Smoker, You Have No Heart
"White Fist!" Smoker's arm turned into smoke, and only his fist remained solid, flying towards Zhang Daye like a rocket.
"Shave!" Zhang Da did not take his move. He avoided the arm that turned into smoke and punched Smoker in the abdomen.
“Puff!” Smoker took a few steps back, his smoke-like arm returning to its original form. He covered his stomach and retched, “It’s really Armament Haki!”
"How can this be false? You didn't think I was just bragging before, did you?" Zhang Da also shook his fist, "Do you want to fight again?"
"Fight!" Smoker was of course not convinced. Armament Haki only allowed people to get in touch with the Nature element, but it did not mean that they could definitely defeat the Nature element.
He opened his arms, and a large amount of smoke gushed out of his body. His whole body turned into the smoke hid in it. The smoke spread quickly, covering Zhang Da as well.
The other members of the Amber Group had already come over to watch out of curiosity. Jackie Chan tried to reach out and touch the smoke in front of him, but as expected, he caught nothing: "This is also the power of the devil fruit, it's amazing."
"And it's a rare nature-type devil fruit." Altria had long been curious about whether she could attack a nature-type entity, and now she really wanted to try it out with a sword.
Rui Mengmeng touched the hilt of the sword. She had the same idea as Altria. Even Ye Yan wanted to try out whether his Soul-Calming Gong worked.
Tom got an insect net from somewhere and thrust it into the smoke, waving it about, but caught nothing. He sat on the ground unhappily, frowning and thinking of a solution.
"This is the elementalization unique to nature-type ability users. If you don't understand domineering, there is almost no way to deal with him." Seeing that the members of the Amber Group seemed to be exposed to the nature system for the first time, Zefa began to explain without hesitation.
Smoker, who was hiding in the smoke, was overwhelmed. "Teacher Zefa, is it really okay for you to expose my past like this? I'm still fighting with someone, it's not appropriate for you to reveal all my moves beside me, right? I'm your dear student!"
Zephyr doesn't care what Smoker thinks. In his opinion, physical skills are the foundation of everything, and mastering physical skills to perfection is the most important thing. Of course, if you want to rely on the power of the fruit, you can also develop your ability to the level of Borsalino. By then, I will not be able to say anything to you.
But Smoker is a guy who has neither of those abilities. His abilities are poorly developed, and his physical skills are only so-so. He spends the whole day in the training camp acting like the teacher is the best and he is second to none.
Let him learn a lesson now so that he can work harder when he returns. When he becomes really strong, the information revealed now will not be considered information.
At this time, Zhang Da was also in the smoke, and he could hardly see anything in front of him, let alone catch Smoker's entity. Zhang Da also tried to throw a punch wrapped in armed color, but it was useless. Most of the smoke was created by his ability, and a small part was the smoke that Smoker transformed into.
That old guy Smoker must have been looking for his flaws from every angle, preparing for a surprise attack, so after his tentative punch missed, Zhang Daye's first reaction was: "Iron block!"
This time his reaction was correct. As expected, a fist emitting white smoke immediately hit him in the back while he was about to make a move.
It cannot be said that there is no damage at all, it can only be said that it is not painful. In an online game, there will probably be forced damage like HP-1.
It’s not that Smoker is too weak, but that Zhang Daye has too many abilities, including iron, domineering power, and magic. It is too difficult for Smoker to break through his defense with his bare hands.
Fists trailing white smoke kept flying from all directions, and Zhang Da stood in the middle without moving. Smoker said in a depressed tone, "You are such a hard-core student, you have learned a lot!"
"Of course, I punched Vice Admiral Garp one punch at a time, it would be strange if it wasn't solid." Zhang Da also recalled the sad past. Of course, he wanted to drag his opponent down with him when he was unhappy. Zhang Da also decided to add some anger to Smoker, "You didn't have any strength in those punches. Do you want to wait until I fall asleep so that the iron block will automatically dissolve?"
"Stop looking down on me!" The young Smoker was easily provoked. He revealed half of his body and pounced directly on him. Perhaps this way of attack was more powerful than simply controlling his fists.
Zhang Daye’s strategy for this is to let him fight.
Smoker's right fist hit Zhang Daye's left shoulder. Zhang Daye felt the pain in his left shoulder and leaned back slightly. Then he immediately raised his hand to grab Smoker's wrist to prevent him from escaping by turning into an element, and took the opportunity to hit him with his right shoulder that was leaning forward.
This move has a domineering name called Tieshankao, probably.
Smoker was knocked away by this move and fell to the ground. A cloud of smoke followed him and turned into a pair of legs when it landed. The smoke surrounding him gradually dissipated because he lost control of it.
"Cough cough... again!" Smoker stood up, holding his chest, and got ready to fight again.
But Zhang Da also pointed at him and said, "Smoker, you have no heart."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Smoker looked down and saw a hole the size of a bowl on his chest that had not recovered. He was surprised and asked, "What's going on?"
"Did you fail to collect some of the smoke?" Zhang Da was also a little panicked. Could it be that he had damaged it? He didn't use much force just now, and Smoker didn't seem to feel uncomfortable.
"How is this possible?" Smoker had never experienced such a situation before. He tried to gather the smoke back as usual, and then he heard a series of clanging and banging sounds.
A glass bottle with a lid was seen bouncing towards Smoker. There was a cloud of smoke inside and a cat was following behind the bottle.
To be precise, it was the glass bottle that was dragging the cat. Tom held the bottle tightly with both hands and supported the ground with his legs, but he could only be dragged by the bottle and raised two trails of dust on the ground.
If you look closely, you can see that the smoke is staring at the front of the glass bottle, and the whole bottle is bending forward, which makes people wonder what the bottle is made of. And when it was almost in front of Smoker, the smoke stopped, took a breath with Tom, and rested for a while before continuing to move forward and finally stopped at Smoker's feet.
Tina asked in shock: "Teacher Zefa, was that cloud of smoke sweating just now?"
"It seems so." Zefa also doubted his own eyes, but he was more concerned about another thing, "Can the natural system be dealt with in this way?"
If the cat was strong enough to take the bottle away directly, or dig a hole and bury it, or even sink it into the sea, would Smoker always have a hole missing from his chest?
Tom was surprised to find that the bottle had stopped, and he quickly held it in his arms, but when he looked up, he saw Smoker moving the two cigars in his mouth from one side to the other, looking at him with complicated eyes.
Tom knew that the man in front of him was the victim. After all, he had such a big heart, so he immediately blocked the bottle with his body and spread out his hands to indicate that he had nothing in his hands.
Ding, ding, the bottle jumped twice and popped out by itself.
Tom lifted his foot and moved the bottle behind him, revealing an innocent yet somewhat embarrassed smile.
The bottle jumped out again, and when Tom wanted to move again, Zhang Daye held him down.
"Sorry, my cat was a little naughty." Zhang Da also opened the bottle cap, allowing the smoke to successfully return to Smoker, filling in his missing mind. "After the natural element is transformed, if someone holds a part of it, can't it be restored to its full form?"
"I've never heard of such a thing." Smoker touched his chest, very worried that the cloud of smoke would fall down by itself.
"I've never heard of such a thing either." Zefa came over. He had taught more than one or two natural science teachers, but he had never seen anyone leave a part of a person with special abilities in this way, preventing him from recovering to his full state.
Of course, this may also be because Akainu and Kizaru are too strong, and the destructive power of their fruits is also high, so no one dares to try to put magma and light into the container when fighting them.
Smoker remained silent. He felt that Teacher despised him, but he had no evidence.
"Anyway, let's try again." Zefa said, "Mr. Tatsuya, can you lend me the bottle?"
"Okay." Zhang Da also handed the bottle to Zefa. He was very interested in the experimental results, which might be useful to Lao Sha in the future.
After Zefa got the bottle, he tapped it with his fingers to confirm that it was made of glass, but how did the bottle bend just now? Zefa was puzzled.
Without waiting for Zephyr's orders, Smoker actively transformed into an element, allowing the smoke from his arm to go into the bottle. When Zephyr screwed the bottle cap on, Smoker stopped the elemental transformation.
The smoke in the bottle successfully came out and returned to Smoker.
"Is it not tightened?" Zefa frowned, "Try again."
But the result was the same, and Zhang Da also understood that this was probably something only Tom could do.
"Can you demonstrate it again?" Zefa handed the bottle to Tom.
Zhang Daye thought about it and realized that it was impossible to hide it. Zefa's character was still trustworthy. So at Zhang Daye's instruction, Tom nodded, and then every experiment was successful in making Smoker lose limbs. But if it was Zefa or Tina, or even Smoker himself, they couldn't do it.
"What's going on with this cat?" Smoker was the most depressed . How could the ability that he was so proud of be inexplicably restrained by a cat?
"I can't explain this to you. Just think of him as an incredible cat." Zhang Da couldn't explain it either. He couldn't tell Smoker that Tom's painting style was better than his, right?
Several people surrounded Tom and stared at him for a while, which made him feel uncomfortable. He hid behind Zhang Daye and then stopped.
"Smoker, can you spar with the others? No one has ever met a nature-type person and they are very curious about you." Zhang Da also touched Tom's head. Thinking that he had been watched for so long, he planned to help Tom collect some ticket money. He didn't need anything else, just let Smoker be his sparring partner.
Smoker readily agreed: "No problem, I also want to see how powerful the Amber Travel Group is."
Tina was unwilling to just watch from the sidelines, and asked eagerly, "Can Tina participate?"
"Of course." Zhang Da was eager for a buy-one-get-one-free deal. He even looked at the naval cadets who were doing daily training. There were still hundreds of free sparring partners, and it would be a pity not to take advantage of them. He asked, "Why don't we all come and exchange ideas?"
"Of course no problem." Zefa also wanted the students to see more of the strong people out there, and it was certainly a good thing to have so many high-quality sparring partners coming to their doorstep.
The old man and the young looked at each other and smiled, "Good man, I've made a profit."
As the sun sets, the naval cadets light several bonfires on the shore for lighting, and the chefs prepare food a little away from the crowd.
The others gathered in a circle and watched the several groups fighting on the field.
Zefa was pointing out the gains and losses of both sides, and he did not forget what he had promised Zhang Daye at the beginning. He repeatedly explained to everyone the key points of the Six Styles and the experience of using Haki.
After several hours of fighting, Smoker and Tina, the two top players in the training camp, suffered a great blow. The people of the Amber Travel Group were stronger than they had imagined.
Smoker was the most affected, as he clearly heard Zhang Da say that he was the only one in the group who could be domineering. However, the result of the competition was beyond his expectations.
When he first chose his opponent, he immediately chose Jackie Chan. After all, he looked like the oldest one, so he should be the strongest, right? Then he easily defeated Jackie Chan. After all, no matter how powerful Jackie Chan's kung fu was, he had no way to deal with Smoker without Seastone.
When he thought that the Amber Tour Group was nothing special, Artoria easily put the sword on his neck, and when he actively transformed into an element, the sword drew a bloody line on his shoulder.
Smoker asked incredulously, "Didn't they say that only one person could be domineering?"
Altria retracted her sword: "I really don't have Haki, this is magic, you can think of it as a special ability."
Smoker looked at Zephyr inquiringly, and Zephyr nodded: "It is indeed a completely different feeling from Haki."
"Special abilities?" Smoker nodded to show that he could accept it. There were so many strange abilities in this world, so it was reasonable for there to be one that could hurt natural entities.
Then Ye Yan came on the field, and was barely able to use the shave, but because of his lack of skill, Smoker was able to cope with it easily, and Ye Yan's punches and kicks on Smoker could only penetrate a cloud of smoke.
When Smoker took the opportunity to trap Ye Yan's hands and feet and wanted to unilaterally declare victory, several flag monsters floated out and beat Smoker up. Although they failed to hurt him, they successfully rescued Ye Yan.
"Is it your ability to summon these monsters?" Smoker was not panicked at all, and felt that he had won. "But no matter how many there are, it's useless if they can't hurt me."
"Elementalization is indeed troublesome, so I can only try this trick." Ye Yan took out the Soul-Calming Gong and struck it hard.
"Bang~"
"This is..." Smoker felt his head go blank, and then his body was out of his control. "I can't move. What kind of ability is this?"
"The Soul-Calming Gong calms both the body and the soul." Ye Yan walked slowly in front of Smoker and tried punching him in the chest. He said with satisfaction, "I can hit him this way."
"I can't even transform into an element!" Smoker was shocked. There was actually another strange ability that could hurt him.
"Is it my turn?" Rui Mengmeng saw Ye Yan's death and came up with a big sword. She said a little stiffly, "I also have some special abilities, but I'm not very good at fighting. Please give me some advice."
Smoker looked at the pitch-black sword and felt that he might die if she swung it down.
