It seemed that Shinobi Yang's talent, potential, and strength superimposed on him as his learning speed improved considerably. In another four days, his progress increased by another level. Jinbei decided to accept the results as it is and offered to have a spar with him. Except for Fishman-Karate nothing else will be used.
At first, everyone else thought that Jinbei was joking with them, after all, how could a human be better than Fishman-Karate and learn it so quickly as well? With a skeptical attitude, everyone came together to watch the match between them. Even Arlong was not absent, with his upper body covered in bandages. (Fishman Karate: Vacuum Shock Fist). It was an improved version of Jinbei's 'Arabesque Tile True Punch'.
It was an improved version of a long-range attack, in which the more distance the greater the power. Because of wood release, the cellur activity of his body increased every day as well. The proficiency of the move was no less than Jinbei's move. Jinbei used his move the Spear Wave, which collided with Chu Yang's move head-on as it dispersed. While only one move was exchanged, the shock it caused among the fishmen was nothing short of extraordinary, especially for Arlong.
Discussions were going on with everyone, as even Fisher had his jaw hanging. "Well done," Jinbei stopped looking down on him as he had to begrudgingly accept his opponent's skill, "In this case, I will have to take it seriously." Chu Yang smiled with the same bloodthirsty expression, almost nearly scaring Arlong again. Both of them continued, giving on prodding each other as they went for the simplest techniques at each other.
Flesh met flesh. It was hard to believe, that even if their proficiencies in the technique were the same, one cannot take away the size difference between the two. Chu Yang was only at Jinbei's waist length, and he was going toe-to-toe with him. Fists cshed with each other, both of them matching each other in every blow.
The visual contrast provided quite the view for the audience as the fight went on. Fisher was concerned that his small stature would be a disadvantage for Chu Yang. No normal would be able the shockwaves generated by Jinbei and come out fine. Although the shockwaves rocked his body, his healing factor from the wood release helped him out greatly as it healed the damage faster than he was accumuting it.
In addition, Jinbei was not using Haki along with his strikes, so it was within Chu Yang's ability to bear. The battle sted from noon to sunset. The fight didn't end until both of them exhausted all of their stamina. Jinbei used up all of his stamina as he y on the floor, Chu Yang on the other hand had a broken nose and a swelling eye. Other than that, he was the one who was still standing.
In front of everyone, he had kept with Jinbei with just his Fishman-Karate without his devil fruit. This was with the training for a week, the results shocked everyone. He went from a novice, who knew nothing about fighting to an elite-level fighter. Fisher looked at him as if he was looking at a monster.
Fisher had witnessed his power in Mary Geoise, he knew how strong he was with his devil fruit ability. But Chu Yang shocked him even without his abilities, but it was mostly his talent that shined through. "You really can't handle a good beatdown," said Jinbei ughing. "And you're not much of a meat shield as I thought you were." grinned Chu Yang. "HAHAHA" Jinbei ughed out loud, "I lost this time we will go again next time, and I will go all out"
Chu Yang rolled his eyes, "Yeah right if you were to use haki I definitely would lose." "You can use your devil fruit abilities as well." reasoned Jinbei. Chu Yang disagreed as he shook his head. Jinbei racked his brains and finally found a solution, "Let us do this, I will teach you haki as well and we will have another showdown with each other."Chu Yang showed a satisfied expression as he slowly colpsed on the ground in exhaustion. He was barely standing anymore. From that day onwards, no one spoke anything bad about him behind his back. No one dared to show any contempt or hate. No matter where he went, he was showered with admiration. After all, strength is respected by everyone, no matter who you are.
Only Arlong had any resentment left for him and even then, he couldn't do much about it. If he passed by him, he would lower his head and quickly run off. Two days after the match, Chu Yang started learning haki from Jinbei. He liked the feeling of learning and the steady increase in his progress. Every day his progress was visually noticeable for everyone. "What a monster, tell me are you even human?" still bruised and battered, Jinbei couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Chu Yang rolled his eyes at the accusation, "Can't you see, I look human from every angle." Jinbei clicked his tongue in annoyance and shook his head, "No you do not look like one at all." "Do not beat around the bush and start cursing me you buffoon!" Chu Yang ughed in mock anger. "Now hurry up and let us continue our lesson already." Fighting with each other had built a weird sort of camaraderie among them as they joked around with each other.
Helpless against him, Jinbei continues to expin haki to him. At the same time, Fisher sitting in the captain's quatres, received a wanted poster. His face couldn't help but get scrunched up as he looked at it, it was his own wanted poster. It was delivered by the News Coo this morning. It was a bounty of 500,000 Belies. It was an increase of more than 270,000 Belies from the original plot. It seemed with Chu Yang's interference and with the destruction of the Holy Land, his bounty increased by a huge margin.
