The four people stood in a circle, looking at Esdeath and listening to what she planned to do.
"Although we are facing an old man over sixty, our chances of touching his chest are slim."
"And his main target might be me, so the opportunity to attack Zephyr's chest can only be given to you, Ain."
Before Ain could speak to refuse, less than 30 seconds had passed, and Esdeath directly gave the order.
"Charge!"
She drew her rapier and slashed it across her chest, and a series of small ice cones rained down on Zephyr.
Strike unexpectedly, attack unprepared!
The four quickly reacted and followed Esdeath's actions.
"I expected this long ago!"
Zephyr smiled, extended his right arm, and directly dispersed the incoming ice cones.
If Esdeath hadn't launched a sneak attack, Zephyr would have looked down on this little girl. What's the point of not using such a good opportunity?
Binz, the only male, charged forward directly.
Bang!
Good! One teammate down.
Esdeath looked at Binz, who had been sent flying. Did he not use his brain at all? He was just gone.
"Ha!"
Tashigi appeared on Zephyr's left, and Little Sadie appeared on his right.
Both of them struck at Zephyr simultaneously.
He directly grabbed Little Sadie's whip with his hand, swung her around, and slammed her into Tashigi.
Seeing Little Sadie flying towards her, Tashigi quickly put away Shigure, and then both of them flew out together.
Two more teammates were gone.
"Take this!"
Esdeath appeared above Zephyr's head, and her long sword directly stabbed downwards.
"Iron Body!"
With a gush of blood, two fingers clamped down on Esdeath's long sword, leaving Esdeath suspended in mid-air.
"Now!"
"Shave!"
Ain's figure appeared in front of Zephyr, two daggers attacking him. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Hearing Esdeath's voice, Zephyr smiled. How could he forget that there was also an Ain?
He used Iron Body with his other arm and directly sent Ain, who was trying to attack his chest, flying.
It caused no trouble at all.
At such a close distance, how could he not hear what Esdeath said? It was a good idea to use Ain as the main attacker.
It was indeed a good idea, but for him, it was just child's play. How could a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles not react?
"Ice Rain!"
She directly abandoned her long sword, conjured an ice rain out of thin air, and then a series of ice rains crashed down from the sky.
"Too naive!"
Wanting to rely on numbers to attack him, he directly took a step back and left his original position, incidentally grabbing Esdeath's long boot and flinging her away.
After an unknown number of consecutive force dissipations, Esdeath finally stopped in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground.
If that kind of power had hit her head-on, Esdeath felt it could have blown her up with one punch. That kind of on-the-spot reaction, truly worthy of Zephyr!
However, a smile appeared on Esdeath's face.
"How was it? Feel free to use any other methods you have."
This amount of exercise couldn't even warm him up.
Tashigi and the others also came back to Esdeath's side, as if they could fight again with just one command.
She slowly moved a bit and then said, "General Instructor Zephyr, are you sure my attack didn't hit your chest?"
"Of course, this old man still has that much confidence."
"Alright then, I did my best. I surrender on their behalf. We concede."
"Hahaha, that's all you've got."
He hadn't fought enough yet, but they had already surrendered. It seemed they realized their shortcomings.
Zephyr walked over to them, smiling.
Although he hadn't hit Esdeath much, he finally felt better.
Swish!
The long sword rested against Zephyr's chest.
"General Instructor Zephyr, you lost!"
Everyone was stunned, looking at Esdeath blankly. Didn't she say she surrendered? Why did she pull another trick?
Zephyr was also stunned for a moment, then reacted when he saw the smile on Esdeath's face.
"You! You're playing word games with me!"
Hearing Zephyr's roar, Ain recalled what Esdeath had just said.
"I surrender on their behalf."
Suddenly, her face lit up with joy. She didn't expect Esdeath to play word games.
"Well, you didn't say it wasn't allowed."
She innocently glanced at the furious Zephyr. What she said from the beginning was that she was surrendering on *their* behalf, not on her own behalf.
After all, challenging an Admiral with her meager strength would mean she was out of her mind.
Unless Zephyr was replaced by Garp, because Garp could be sneak attacked while he was sleeping. Otherwise, trying to attack a strong person's chest was simply a dream.
"Alright, I guess you won…"
Strategy was also a mandatory course for Marines. Today, he was actually taught a lesson by a little girl. It seemed he had been too careless.
"What do you mean 'guess'? I clearly won…"
She mumbled a few words. She had only thought of this at the last minute. Otherwise, with just the few of them, what could they have done?
Even if two Vice Admirals came, Esdeath felt they would still get beaten up, let alone touch his chest.
If a Vice Admiral were to fight her, she could give it a try, but an Admiral was out of the question.
"Hahaha, when you feel you are qualified to use Haki, come find me!"
Leaving a dashing figure, he put on his clothes and left the training ground.
Esdeath is both intelligent and brave!
He had noted this down. Possessing both strength and wisdom, her future was limitless.
"Ah? We won?"
The two confused individuals still didn't know what had happened. Binz, who was beside them, was also a bit confused. How did they win?
"It's fine, you don't need to worry about it. Just know that we won, and keep training, training!"
Still need to get stronger!
Otherwise, why would she resort to such schemes? She could just dominate like the original Esdeath, with an overwhelming presence!
"Okay!"
Only Ain looked at Esdeath with some admiration. That was defeating Zephyr! Even if it was with a scheme, it wasn't something an ordinary person could do!
But Esdeath didn't show any pride at all; she even started training again.
"Training, Ain!"
"Yes, Lady Esdeath!"
Ain was convinced by Esdeath.
...
"System, check status."
She hadn't had time to check her status after the show she put on during the day.
As for the others, they were already tired and asleep. Only Esdeath, who had an Imperial Arm, could endure it.
"System, check my attributes."
"Host: Esdeath
Abilities: Demon's Manifestation: Demon's Extract, Swordsmanship (Beginner)
Fame: 4180 points"
"It increased by over two thousand. Looks like I performed well."
"System Shop, open. I didn't finish looking last time."
"Ding! Okay."
"Oh no, I lost out big time!"
Seeing the items in the shop, it was such a waste to exchange for her exclusive weapon. Why was she so foolish not to scroll down and look back then?
