"Cough, cough... Damn yellow-haired guy... How dare you show up in front of me!?" Fang Yi coughed twice, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly got up, looked at Borsalino, and said in a deep voice.
Although Fang Yi managed to land a blow on Borsalino with that strike, now that he saw Borsalino, it was like when enemies meet, their hatred burns hotter, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
"Truly terrifying... As expected of pirates! Even a little kid like this has a murderous look on his face!" Borsalino curled his lips and tried to look scared, but his face just made him look even more disgusting.
Fang Yi first checked on Yamon, who had fallen to one side. Seeing that her injuries hadn't worsened thanks to his protection, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Teacher Yamon, wait here for a moment. After I deal with this guy, I'll take you to see a doctor!"
Yamon nodded weakly and said, "Cough... Xiao Yi, don't be careless. The other... cough... The other guy might be a Devil Fruit user!"
"It's okay, teacher! Leave it to me with confidence!" Fang Yi slowly raised his hand. With a wave, the Bow of Shooting the Sun immediately appeared in his hand. Then he quickly drew an arrow from his quiver and said, "It'll be over soon!"
Yamon nodded with a somewhat relieved look. She still had great confidence in Fang Yi.
"Truly terrifying~~ Are today's pirates, even the little kids, being so arrogant?" Borsalino said casually with a smile.
But his reply was an arrow, an arrow imbued with ice qi. It shot towards his head at extremely high speed, looking as if it had directly blown his head off. But Fang Yi knew that his attack had missed.
"Tsk~ Did he use Kenbunshoku Haki to sense it in advance? As expected, it won't be that easy to deal with him! But... I'm not someone to be trifled with!" Seeing this, Fang Yi tapped his foot and disappeared from the spot.
Although Fang Yi's arrow was infused with Busoshoku Haki, which could attack the true body of a Logia-type user.
However, if a Logia-type user uses their power to turn into an element to avoid an attack before it reaches their body, it will seem as if they've been hit, but actually, they've dodged it.
Shave? Borsalino, who had just recovered, was immediately stunned when he saw Fang Yi's move.
He was no stranger to the Six Styles of the Navy. As an instructor, Zephyr always emphasized that physical strength was the foundation, and that Devil Fruit powers were just obstacles on the path to becoming stronger.
So Borsalino, who relied relatively more on his Fruit power, became a bad student in Zephyr's eyes, and the two often quarreled about this.
As the user of the Glint Glint Fruit, a Logia-type Devil Fruit, Borsalino believed that any power that could be used was good power. So while strengthening his physical training, he also didn't give up on developing his Fruit power.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Before Borsalino could move, three arrows shot towards him from three different directions.
"Oh... Truly amazing archery skills!"
Kizaru glanced at the arrows shooting towards him. He immediately realized that the opponent, using the time difference and different positions, had not only fully locked his location but also anticipated his evasion direction in advance.
If he elementalized in advance like he did earlier, he could only dodge one arrow at most, and the other two would hit him.
However, Kizaru was not just a Logia - type Devil Fruit user. As someone who could annoy Zephyr during training but still make no mistakes in Zephyr's eyes, Kizaru's martial arts and swordsmanship were quite remarkable.
"Ame no Murakumo Sword!" Kizaru clasped his hands together. When he separated them again, a long sword composed of light elements appeared in his hand.
"Clang, clang, clang..." The glowing Ame no Murakumo Sword directly knocked away Fang Yi's three arrows. But before he could launch an attack, a fourth arrow came rushing at him from the front. It was the charged arrow that Fang Yi had strengthened after using his skill to charge.
Fang Yi never thought that he could take down Kizaru with just those three arrows. They were all a ruse to stall for time, aiming for this charged arrow.
Moreover, after the charged arrow was shot out, Fang Yi didn't stay in place. He tapped his foot on the ground, moved his position again, and circled around to Kizaru's back.
"Clang!"
The Ame no Murakumo Sword directly blocked Fang Yi's charged arrow, but the powerful force pushed Kizaru backward for several meters before he finally stopped.
But before Kizaru could relax, the arrow that had lost its momentum exploded directly.
"Boom!"
The explosion resounded, and a cloud of black smoke engulfed Kizaru, which greatly surprised the surrounding naval soldiers.
As one of the naval's rising stars, Kizaru had been suppressed in a short time and was even seemingly defeated without even counter - attacking?
"Phew~ What a terrifying kid!" A figure jumped out of the explosion's black smoke. It was Kizaru, who had just blocked the charged arrow.
"Now's the time... Go... Trident Arrows!" Fang Yi, who had been waiting for Kizaru to appear, aimed directly at Kizaru in the air. Taking advantage of the fact that Kizaru couldn't move in the air, he shot three arrows at him.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." The three arrows were shot out one after another. The first two curved around from the left and right sides in an arc towards Kizaru!
The last arrow flew directly towards Kizaru. From afar, these three arrows looked like a trident, advancing towards the target.
This was an archery technique he and Yamon spent a long time researching. It wasn't the ordinary way of shooting three arrows simultaneously. Instead, the three arrows were shot one after another. So, the system's judgment was also three times. It was as if Fang Yi had artificially tripled the probability of triggering his skills in a single attack.
"What an underestimated guy... Laser!" Watching the three arrows flying towards him, Kizaru smiled slightly, then raised his hands, and the tips of his fingers began to glow, which was a sign of him gathering power.
"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"
"Ugh!?"
All three of Fang Yi's arrows were hit by Kizaru's laser rays. However, in mid-air, Kizaru's face changed abruptly. His body seemed to have suffered some kind of injury, and he directly fell from the sky.
"Humph! Think you can act cool with me? I'll beat the hell out of you!" Fang Yi glanced at the skill section of his character interface. The experience points of the Precision skill directly increased by two points. He knew that the unlucky Kizaru had been hit by two out of the three arrows.
You know, the targets he aimed at were all the opponent's vital points, either the heart or the head!
Although he wasn't really hit by the arrows, once the Precision skill was triggered, the opponent would feel exactly the same as if they were shot. That kind of pain was enough to make him suffer.
Moreover, Fang Yi had no intention of letting go of this opportunity to beat a drowning dog. He raised his bow and shot another arrow imbued with ice qi.
"Damn it... What the hell was that?" At this moment, where was the previous relaxed and carefree Kizaru? Covering his chest with one hand, he looked at the arrow Fang Yi shot again with a grim expression.
He was really unlucky. Two of Fang Yi's three arrows were aimed at his heart, and the other was aimed at his head. As a result, the arrow aimed at his head didn't trigger the skill, while the two aimed at his heart both triggered it simultaneously. It was as if his heart had been attacked twice in a row.
This strange kind of injury made his legs go weak.
Moreover, he suspected that Fang Yi was also an ability user, and the ability should be somewhat strange.
So, when facing Fang Yi's ice arrow, Kizaru chose to dodge immediately instead of destroying or blocking it like before.
Because just now, after he used his laser to block the other party's attack, he felt as if his heart had been hit.
"Run? Do you think you can escape?" Fang Yi seemed to have anticipated Kizaru's plan long ago. So, while constantly changing his position, he continuously shot at Kizaru.
After being unable to block and only able to dodge, Kizaru had very few routes to choose from. Coupled with Fang Yi's excellent archery skills, Kizaru was not only completely suppressed by Fang Yi, but also had to fight back midway to shoot down Fang Yi's arrows.
But soon he found that he didn't continue to be injured after blocking Fang Yi's attacks.
Just when he thought Fang Yi's ability couldn't be activated at will and was about to fight back and destroy all of Fang Yi's arrows at once, Fang Yi triggered the skill again, and this time it was an even more powerful combination of Precision and Stun.
Actually, he didn't know that even if he didn't block this attack and dodged instead, the skill would still be triggered a few seconds later.
So, covering his splitting and dizzy head, Kizaru immediately chose to retreat.
Watching Kizaru stagger away, Fang Yi drew his bowstring to the full and placed five arrows on it.
But before he could shoot, Kizaru turned into a beam of light and fled directly towards the warship in the distance!
"Humph! You're lucky you ran fast!" Seeing this, Fang Yi put away his arrows and snorted.
In this battle, Fang Yi completely suppressed Kizaru throughout the whole process, scaring the opponent away without giving him the slightest chance to fight back.
That's right, Fang Yi himself knew that in fact, he should still not be a match for Kizaru at present. However, the opponent had absolutely no understanding of Fang Yi's abilities. Therefore, after he triggered his skills a few times, the opponent immediately chose to retreat.
If the opponent had just attacked Fang Yi without any regard from the very beginning, he wouldn't have had the chance to shoot so many arrows at all. Then the probability of triggering his skills would have been much lower. Once Kizaru found a flaw in him, the battle might very well be ended within a short period of time.
Moreover, even if Kizaru didn't run away and the battle continued, it would only become more and more disadvantageous for Fang Yi. Shooting those ordinary arrows was okay, but whether it was the Trident he and Yamon created, or the abilities like the Flame Arrow and Frost Arrow obtained from the lottery, they all consumed a great deal of his physical strength.
If he hadn't consumed the Body Inheritance, attacks like these would probably have exhausted his physical strength after just a few times.
Even now, after a single battle, he could feel that his arms were a bit strained.
The most important thing was that he was still young and his body was still in the growth stage. Therefore, compared with a man in his twenties like Kizaru, his physical strength was simply not on the same level.
"Teacher Yamon, I've lived up to your expectations!" So after scaring Kizaru away, Fang Yi came to Yamon's side and said with a smile.
"You little guy... You're getting better and better!" Yamon watched Fang Yi's battle from start to finish. Whether it was in terms of tactics or actions, Fang Yi performed quite perfectly, giving people a sense of smooth - flowing and naturalness.
