Many people knew about Rojaâs flames ability, such as Aokiji, Kisaru, and the others. But their eyes still flashed when Roja finally used it.
And those that didnât know about it had their faces change drastically.
âLogia Flame fruit ?â
âNo! No! This isnât a devil fruit âŠâ
The only shock could be seen on their faces. Even Kisaru, Aokiji, Garp and the others didnât know the origin of Rojaâs flames, So the others could only be shocked by those flames.
This is a flame coming from the soul. This is an ability from another world, no one knows about it.
âThis flame âŠâ
Even Akainu who was watching in silence from the start couldnât help but reveal his shock. His eyes flashed when he saw the fire.
(Tl: Zihahaha Akainuâs Magma vs Yamamoto flames ⊠lool childplay.)
When Roja participated in the competition, Akainu was on top of the fortress. But the flames of that time werenât as intense as the ones now. Also, he was far away last time, so he didnât get a good look at the flames.
This time with a closer look, He was surprised, because he also didnât understand where did the flames come from.
Sometimes he thinks that the flames were an illusion, Some other times he thinks that they were real and other times he thinks that the flames were between the two.
After staring for a while, Akainu narrowed his eyes.
âWhat a strange flame, But if itâs only to this degree âŠâ
The flames released by Roja was powerful and very hot for others. But in the eyes of Akainu who possessed the Magma fruit, His flames were weak and no threat to him at all.
(Tl: Akainu really now *sigh* you donât know that this is just the weakest ability of Yamamotoâs power⊠If he reaches the fifth stage and uses Ryujin Jjakka ⊠you would really turn into a red dog. )
âŠ
Wouch! Wouch!
Strawberry used his swords to send two blue sword energies. Even though the flames wouldnât defeat him, but his clothes will get burned anyway.
The monstrous flames were extremely gentle on Rojaâs side, and even his clothes werenât burned.
Strawberry rushed out from the flames while he was red with the flames wrapping around his clothes. he saw Roja was inside the flames like a Fire king the flames always making way for him whenever he moved.
Roja didnât continue his attack and also did strawberry.
âI didnât think you had this kind of power. I underestimated you âŠâ
Strawberry felt the hotness of the flames around him and couldnât help but smile. Then he shook his head and said: âYou win.â
Before, He was facing Roja who only used swordplay and Haki. But after Roja used the flames, he obviously didnât have the strength to face him anymore.
This is just a graduation exam and not a life and death battle. Since the outcome is obvious, then Strawberry will generously throw in the towel. He wasnât ready to be more embarrassed if every piece of his clothes were to be burned.
Strawberryâs initiative of throwing the towel was no problem of course. But the meaning of him losing is unusual!
The audience was in silence.
For a long time, there was only silence while the flames were being extinguished. Gradually Yamakaji recovered and slowly said while his tone was trembling.
âNinth Level, ⊠Pass!â
With Yamakaji officially announcing the results, the audience minds shook. Then they started talking among themselves.
On one hand, they didnât understand Rojaâs flames ability. In the other hand, They saw him pass the ninth level.
So far only the current three admirals passed the ninth level.
âSure enough ⊠His potential is great!â
âVice-admiral Garpâs nephew is a monster.â
Many were looking at Roja with eyes of admiration. He is no longer just a recruit; His position is the same as theirs or maybe higher.
The three admirals were silent as well as Garp, Sengoku and the others beside him. No one spoke they only looked at Roja in the field.
Everyone now was looking at Roja; He passed the ninth level So now is the tenth.
Will Roja continue and challenge the tenth level?
Under the eyes of all those people, Roja walked toward Yamakaji and asked.
âIs there some water ?â
After fighting Strawberry, Roja consumed a lot of stamina, and since his opponent will be a Vice admiral now, He shouldnât make any mistake.
So Roja wanted to drink a glass of water then adjust his state.
âHere.â
Yamakaji Looked at Roja poured him a glass of water.
Roja took the glass and gulped it in one go.
Yamakaji didnât ask Roja if he wants to continue with the tenth level, but he quietly until the ten minute of rest to end and then said.
âThe tenth level ⊠No need to take it. You passed the ninth Level already, and thatâs a great honor. Only the three admirals could do what you just did.â
âNo, since I already passed the ninth level. Even if itâs impossible for me to pass the tenth, but I still want to try, so I wonât regret it in the future.â
Smoker and the others were nervous watching Roja. They didnât know why Roja would choose to try the tenth level even though he knew that itâs impossible to pass it.
If he could pass The tenth level, He would have surpassed the three admirals.
Although Smoker and the others know that this possibility was too low. If someone wants to surpass the three admirals, then it would be as difficult as ascending the heaven.
One minute âŠ
Two minutes âŠ
Eight minutes âŠ
Finally, in the Ninth minute, Roja returned to the field. Countless people looked at Yamakaji waiting for his announcement.
âThe tenth Level will start soon!â
Since the ninth level opponent is a rear admiral, then the tenth level opponent would be without a doubt a vice admiral.
Rojaâs eyes held immense fighting spirit and excitement for this fight. There wasnât any trace of fear.
This battle, He wants to fight and also win.
If he didnât have at least the strength of a vice admiral then how will he go out in the sea and become one of the strongest out there.
At last Yamakaji said with a solemn voice.
âIn the tenth level, Your opponent will be ⊠Vice admiral Momanga!â
(Tl: This is the guy that went to bring Boa Hancock to Marineford for the execution of Ace.)
With the announcement of Yamakaji, a man came down from the audience to the field. He was wearing a lavender striped suit, dark blue shirt, His beard and hair were purple colored. He was young compared to the other vice admirals.
In the original story, Momonga was one of the top figures in the war of Marineford.
He was promoted to be a Vice admiral at the same year that Kisaru, Aokiji, and Akainu were promoted to be admirals.
He got promoted earlier than anyone which is the proof of his strength.
âThe tenth level opponent is Momonga ?â
âMomonga was promoted to vice admiral not long ago, but his strength isnât something other vice admirals can reach easily.â

The people who knew Momonga and saw him walk to the field were talking solemnly.
At this time, even Kisaru, Sengoku, and the others couldnât help but discuss among themselves.
The first to talk was Aokiji with flashing eyes âMomonga isnât the strongest but also isnât the weakest ⊠If he wants to beat him, then the difficulty is much higher then Strawberry.â
Z looked at the field then murmured âMomonga? I think even if Roja use the flame of his it will be difficult to win. That Momongaâs swordplay and Haki are way above Strawberry. He is stronger then Strawberry in all aspects. I am afraid Roja wonât be able to do much.
By the side, Garp was unconcerned by the outcome. He is already very proud of Roja passing the ninth level. In his view, if Roja passed the tenth level or not it doesnât matter.
