As the final day of battle unfolded, all eyes were on Kuzan and Borsalino.
Now, the two of them are attracting more attention than Leriana and Sakazuki.
Kuzanbisakaski and Borsalino joined the Navy two years later, but the three of them are still considered representatives of the Navy during the same period and are usually mentioned together.
All three possessed Logia-type Devil Fruits and were candidates for Admiral status. While their strengths differed to some extent, they were all at the same level.
These trainees originally had a serious attitude towards learning and carefully observed the battles of the first two days. But now some people are saying that the first two days were all fixed.
"Seniors, is there anything you would like to say?"
After a moment of silence, Jeklik, the son of Zefa and the student with the strongest background, asked the question. Judging from the gesture of Zefa's fingers, it was at his behest.
Clearly, Zephyr wanted these two senior students to explain to their juniors what had happened a couple of days ago.
"Hmm, Sakazuki is really amazing. He takes everything he does so seriously."
Borsalino, completely unfazed, gave an answer that had nothing to do with the question, selectively ignoring the fact that he had been deliberately bluffing.
Kuzan doesn't seem to have developed that kind of shamelessness yet; the battle on the island even caused the warships to shake, which gave Kuzan an excuse.
"Ara ara, the ship is a bit unstable. Young people are really hot-tempered, Ice Age!"
Kuzan jumped directly onto the sea surface and used his ability to freeze the surrounding waters, securing the ship firmly within the ice.
However, Kuzan himself jumped down and never came back, not giving them a chance to continue the question and answer.
"Instructor Zephyr, is the Destroyer Ship Island about to collapse?"
Outstanding graduates can be a little more carefree, while current students are much more serious.
"Perhaps. These are the strongmen of the sea. Depending on their abilities, they can do things far beyond your imagination. Don't let your limited perspective confine you to the same place. Becoming stronger requires being down-to-earth, but you also have to dare to dream."
At this moment, flames and lava on the island were clashing fiercely. Most students could not see the battle between the two, but they could see the changes in the environment.
This shows that exhibition matches are not meaningless; at least when things get serious, they can only watch the show.
Shipwreck Island is not a natural island. It was originally just an open sea area, formed by coral polyps after some abandoned ships were dumped.
The ocean, where sea monsters can be born, is home to countless strange creatures, including special coral polyps. These polyps reproduce at an extremely fast rate, a completely different concept from corals that can only grow one centimeter over many years.
The island, now made of coral, is gradually collapsing. However, during this process, the magma created by Sakazuki flows into the sea through the cracks, cools and solidifies, and reinforces the island in a unique way.
"A massive fireball!"
"Flaming Dragon Fang Thrust!"
Black smoke billowed from Sakazuki's body, and magma surged on his arms. Logia-type abilities not only allow the body to become an element itself, but also grant corresponding powers.
Sakazuki's Magma-Magma Fruit grants him the powerful energy generated during volcanic eruptions, making him the strongest of the three admiral reserves in terms of offensive power.
"Flames are useless against me. Fire is just fire, while I am magma that burns everything."
Sakazuki had many flames on his body, whether they came from the lava or were released by Lyliana is unknown, but it is clear that these flames have no effect on him.
"Magma is a volatile, high-temperature, viscous molten material whose main component is silicate."
Sakazuki was just trying to demonstrate his abilities, but Lyliana quickly rattled off a string of terms.
Sakazuki is a graduate of a formal training program. Zephyr teaches them physical skills and combat techniques, while the naval academy teaches them weapon handling, navigation skills, and other subjects. However, the terminology that Lyriana is using now is slightly beyond the scope of the curriculum.
"Flowing magma can indeed extinguish flames, but my fire isn't naturally occurring. It's the breath of a dragon, born from fantasy and ranking among the pinnacle even among legendary creatures!"
The reason why mythical beasts are given the name "mythical" is because they do not exist in the world, or at least do not exist in this world.
Because of Oran, Lyriana has seen many dragons, not just Shyvana, but also Gigantaleno, the Emperor Dragon, a true dragon.
She is the mother of the little dragon Smolder. Smolder is just a human name. In dragon language, Smolder should be called Necarius Gigantaleno Rek Lehipas Ofrentis.
Gigantaleno is Smodem's mother's name.
Compared to the dragonfire unleashed by these dragons, the flames produced by burning firewood are like an ice pack, providing a refreshing coolness.
The Phoenix's regenerative flames grant its user the ability to regenerate infinitely. Similarly, as a mythical beast, Dragon Flame also possesses its own unique characteristics. In terms of mastery over its fruit, Lyriana even surpasses the original in some aspects.
A glint of flame flashed in her pupils, and dragon flames overflowed from the corners of Lyliana's mouth, enveloping her dragon scales in flames. However, the flames disappeared after a while, leaving a dark red mark on Lyliana's scales and claws.
"Flaming Martial Body - Emperor Dragon Flash!"
After the flames disappeared, the temperature did not decrease. Lyliana loosened her clenched fist, which turned into a claw shape. She swung it seemingly innocuously, but it refreshed Sakazuki's understanding of the world.
Leriana's attack just now didn't even use Haki, yet it still caused damage to his body.
Sakazuki's magma body vaporized under the intense dragonfire, just as Crocodile's water-soaked body was unable to transform into its elemental form. Faced with Lyriana in this state, Sakazuki's elemental transformation also became ineffective.
Even attacks using magma will be greatly reduced; once vaporized, the remaining portion will not allow Sakazuki to continue to unleash the power of his original moves.
In terms of physique and domineering presence, Lyriana already had a huge advantage. If it weren't for the fact that using Divine Dodge in front of these veteran marines wasn't so bad, the battle could have ended much faster.
When Lyriana entered the second phase, causing Sakazuki's Devil Fruit ability to be countered, the outcome of the battle was self-evident.
The only person who wanted to fight seriously didn't manage to regain the Navy's face as he claimed. Perhaps if he had acted alongside them, things would have become more complicated.
After three battles, Sakazuki is receiving treatment from the medical team, Kuzan lost a uniform and was forced to change his hairstyle, and as for Borsalino, his tie is dirty.
