BXBX NOVEL Chapter 13 Underpass, Thunderstorm!
Chapter 13 Underpass, Thunderstorm!
Rowen noticed it the moment the sand burst… The Thunder-Lighting Human physique brought by Rumble-Rumble Fruit made him very sensitive to the electric field. Although the development of the Devil Fruit is limited and he cannot generate the huge electromagnetic field covering a large area and control the whole situation like Enel, he has no problem in spreading the electric current around him and receiving the feedback.
After stepping into the test field and discovering that the situation was wrong, Rowen did not stop his electromagnetic field and the results he obtained were not surprising. There are some strange things here!
The surrounding magnetic field is in a very disordered state as if something is interfering with the electromagnetic waves. However, after checking the sand, he found that there was no metal powder mixed in. The empty sand and stones could not be seen clearly, nor could they hide the special equipment to interfere with the magnetic field.
At this point, he can rule out the possibility of being targeted.
And!!!
The closer he got to the ground, the more chaotic the magnetic field become!
This means that the Underground area in the test field contains a lot of steel and it interferes with the current fluctuation released by him!! Where he is standing, the electromagnetic feedback creates a gap, leaving a one-meter gap which is enough for people to enter.
This is … an authentic tunnel made of pure steel?
Rowen thought strangely.
For what?
Emergency shelter?
Or is it necessary for testing?
Exploring all the way down, Rowen found a huge steel map that left him scratching his head … So even if the Instructor appeared in front of him, he was still wary of the Underground area and he never stopped paying attention to it.
…
“I see. Is it a Sneak Attack combat type test?”
The thoughtful Rowen instantly understood the true meaning of the test, and the reason for the existence of the Underground tunnels became self-evident. At this moment, he would like to thank Garp for his “Words and Lessons” for a month as even if he does not look closely, he knows that the other party will be using Armament Haki. He can not use Logia Elementalization in this fight.
Forward thrust, side shift?
No way!
The opponent’s movements are flexible, and the speed of the outbreak is not slow. He will be beaten if he tried to dodge!
“So …”
At a critical moment, Rowen’s right foot is wrapped in thunder, forming a sharp knife, and he presses down hard.
Boom!!!
He stomped down on the ground and smoke and dust exploded and spread in the field!
The figure rushed forward, its fist almost touching the back of Rowen’s head, but it was only “Almost”… The fist brought a strong wind, and the back of his head hurt. The difference between the two was so great that Rowen turned into lightning and seized the opportunity to escape into Underground.
In the stands, Kizaru and Trane looked over there in shock … In front of their Observation Haki, both of them know what Rowen did.
He actually… escaped?
A newcomer evaded Commodore Shuzo’s sneak attack?!
Is he even human?!
After some time, Kizaru asked with a stunned expression on his face: “You … You didn’t tell him in advance what was going on at the test site, did you?”
“I swear by my military position that I didn’t!” Trane raised his right hand and said with a solemn look on his face.
Just now, Rowen stomped the ground down with his feet. He evaded the Armament Haki covered fist by a hair’s length.
Kizaru considered that Rowen would rely on his Logia Elementalization ignorantly and then be beaten by Shuzo. He also considered that Rowen would dodge at a speed not inferior to his Glint-Glint Fruit’s movement speed, but as long as he didn’t pull too far, Shuzo had some means to beat him. No matter how fast you move, if you don’t respond quickly, it’s just a simple escape, and fighting further would be meaningless.
However, what he had thought did not happen. As if he knew in advance that the sand beneath him was just a disguise, Rowen stomped down on the ground and entered the Underground tunnel.
Yes!
As Rowen speculates, the Underground is a network of steel tunnels in the middle of the testing ground. Shuzo hides behind the Underground, determines the location by the sound of footsteps, and chooses the exit to launch a sneak attack.
This trick has never failed in the past. Countless geniuses have had nightmares because of this and the arrogance and confidence they had before joining evaporated!
Trane swears by his military rank which is a very serious oath!
Kizaru suddenly took a deep breath and converged his expression before speaking in an insignificant tone: “The Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability user … Is this Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s power? Or is it that the Ability User himself is a monster?”
…
Shuzo couldn’t be blamed for the miss.
Like Kizaru, he knew that Rowen was a Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability user, and his speed was amazing. If he didn’t use Soru, the chance his punch would connect with Rowen would have been next to nothing… unless Rowen was stupid and tried to resist his attack.
So Shuzo was ready to change his body’s movement at any time, always watching Rowen’s movements. As long as Rowen can’t escape his attacking distance in an instant, he has a hundred ways to beat him down!
However, he never took into account that Rowen would use Underground tunnels to pull away from him, creating a horizontal deviation below. He had prepared many plans to deal with Rowen if he evaded his initial sneak attack but now he can’t implement those plans!
For the first time, Shuzo, who barely had any expression on his face also believed that Rowen knew the intelligence of the test site in advance. Before, Rowen deliberately pretended to be surprised to deceive him, and he now became furious.
“How dare you fool me, you little asshole.!!!!!!!!”
Zī Zī Zī Zī!
The angry Shuzo was about to jump down the tunnel when suddenly the lightning began to shine, the air becomes dry and the strong electric current makes Shuzo’s scalp numb.
“Nani(What)?”
Shuzo looked down. At the hole where Rowen had fallen, furious thunder lights were quickly gathering and the thunder was visible in the form of blue light, and the stench was strong. His Observation Haki quickly warned him and Shuzo moved!
Soru!
Shuā!
In the instant when he had left the spot where he was standing, a pillar of furious thunder current shot out and blackened his clothes. The sky blue thunderbolt burned the soil and steel and burst into the sky with an unmatched trend!
10 Million Volt · Thunder Pillar · Tempest!
In the Underground tunnel, Rowen roared towards the sky as thunder and the electric light flickered all over his body. The dazzling Thunder Pillar rushed out of him with dazzling light, rushing straight towards to the sky!
But the move was too slow. One second before he made the move, Shuzo had already left his initial position. It didn’t affect him except making him feel a bit numb.
Boom!
Pulling away, Shuzo calmly stands up and patted his clothes. “Good power, but slow speed! You need to increase your release rate, kid!”
Ever after seeing Rowen use a powerful attack, Shuzo still has the ability to comment on Rowen and express his expressions.
This is also a combat technique in which one declares their strength with their relaxed posture, putting psychological pressure on the other side, forcing the other to make mistakes.
Commonly known as: Install X!
It’s just that Rowen didn’t make a mistake, Shuzo is the one who made a mistake.
This is not the time to use the Install X, because he cannot be sure about his surroundings… If he was on the real battlefield, or if Rowen was more powerful, Shuzo’s mistake would have proved to be fatal to him.
In the stands, Kizaru shook his head and said: “Huh … Commodore Shuzo is still so reckless! How did the teacher teach him? If I were him, I wouldn’t be saying so much nonsense…”
“Uh, Instructor Shuzo is careless, but the difference in strength is too big, it doesn’t matter … Well … Rowen had a good idea, I didn’t expect him to use his fruit ability so superbly.”
As he heard the Comment about Zephyr, Trane hurried to change the subject.
Then he looked up at the sky and looked at Thunderlight, which was rolling down, and took a deep breath: “This scene is really spectacular!”
“Yeah, it’s really Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it’s horrible…”
The lightning beam only lasted less than a second, but the attack it brought was not over.
In the sky, countless Thunderlight arrows detached from the beam of light and poured down with a deafening roar!
This is a Thunderstorm. It’s unavoidable!
