But, was it really evenly matched?
It wasn't, it was just Smoker who thought so unilaterally.
After all, just using swordsmanship to catch Smoker's attack, did not take any effort at all. Plus Callum using Observation Haki, Smoker's attack was as simple as a child playing house.
Even, Callum could close his eyes, and use Observation Haki to dodge Smoker's attack, However, Callum did not do this. Because doing so, would not be beneficial to Callum.
"It seems that if I don't use some real skills, I really won't be able to arrest you today!" While saying, Smoker pulled back the jitte in his hand.
"Are you going to use the power of the Devil Fruit?" Callum looked at Smoker's movements, and felt that Smoker should be about to use his Devil Fruit ability.
Smoker, a user of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, was actually quite powerful.
It could only be said that he met the wrong person.
"Watch my jitte mysteries!" While shouting, Smoker's jitte attacked Callum again.
And this time, Smoker's jitte attack became even more swift. The speed and strength also became even more crazy, and it even made people unable to see the jitte in Smoker's hand.
"So jitte can be played like this? But, are you really looking down on me by not using the Devil Fruit ability?" Callum was a little puzzled why Smoker was not using the power of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, while blocking Smoker's attack.
The same understatement, the same seemingly casual.
No matter how strong Smoker's attack was, it was easily blocked by Callum like this.
"Is Callum's swordsmanship so powerful?" Zoro was a little stunned, after all, when he was in Cocoyasi Village, when he destroyed the Arlong Pirates, Callum almost did not use Akatsuki when he fought Arlong.
Therefore, Zoro did not have a sufficient understanding of Callum's swordsmanship level.
Today he finally saw it, Callum's seemingly casual swordsmanship actually contained very powerful technical components.
"Captain Smoker!" Similarly, these Navy soldiers were also seeing Smoker so embarrassed for the first time,
He was actually fighting such a pirate evenly.
Oh no, it should be said that Callum was now in the upper hand.
Although, the two of them seemed to be fighting back and forth.
However, one thing was very important. That was, Smoker's attack was using all his strength. And, Callum's attack was very understated.
Even, these Navy soldiers thought that if Callum used all his strength like Smoker, Smoker would probably be at a disadvantage in an instant.
"To deal with a small pirate like you, there is no need to use my Devil Fruit ability!" Even at this time, Smoker still felt that Callum's strength was only the bounty on the wanted poster.
"Then you will regret it!" Callum added a little strength, and the strength used by Akatsuki in his hand instantly increased a lot, and the speed also became faster.
"Clang, clang, clang!" Smoker also quickly used his jitte to block.
However, because Callum had increased the strength, Smoker felt that after taking Callum's Akatsuki's attack, his palms were numb from the strength.
However, Smoker did not say anything. Instead, he took a deep puff of his cigar, and the strength of the jitte in his hand also increased a lot.
In this way, the two of them fought again.
The Navy soldiers on the side also quickly made room for the two of them.
These Navy soldiers did not know how powerful Callum's ability was. However, they were very clear about how powerful Smoker was.
However, how could a person who could fight Smoker evenly not be powerful, the Navy soldiers had already made room for the two people's battle, and these passers-by were even more afraid to approach.
Even, those who liked to watch the fun were also happy to watch the fun on the side.
"This Smoker is quite powerful."
Zoro said this, and it could also be seen that Callum's attack strength and speed were becoming more and more powerful.
And Smoker could still easily catch it, which was very not simple.
However, if this continued, Zoro also knew that this Smoker would definitely not be able to hold on.
However, Smoker was after all a Navy Captain. It was impossible for such a big Navy official to have no strength at all.
Moreover, Callum had also mentioned to Zoro before that this Smoker was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user.
He had not used the Devil Fruit ability yet, and was obviously looking down on Callum a little.
"You are quite tenacious, I thought you should have used the Devil Fruit ability long ago!" While Callum was speaking, the strength in his hand increased again.
He was forcing Smoker to use the power of the Devil Fruit.
"Don't be arrogant, you little pirate!" Although Smoker said this to Callum, he also knew that if he did not use the Devil Fruit ability, he would probably really not be able to beat Callum.
After all, Smoker had already felt his powerlessness at this time.
Smoker had not encountered such a situation in a long time.
However, it was not a bad thing for Smoker to encounter such a situation.
In the Navy branch base, Smoker was about to get sick from being cooped up. It was not easy to be able to catch pirates. If he simply caught the pirates, how boring would it be!
"Captain Smoker, I think, there is no need for us to fight like this anymore!" While Callum was speaking, he put away Akatsuki in his hand.
At the same time, a bright black Armament Haki instantly covered Callum's hands.
"I don't have time to play with you, let's solve it as soon as possible!"
The reason why Callum put away his Akatsuki was also because he did not need Akatsuki to deal with a Navy like Smoker.
If he used Akatsuki's ability, he would probably directly kill Smoker, and it was really not necessary.
"It's actually Armament Haki?" Smoker naturally also saw the Armament Haki on Callum's hands, and couldn't help but be shocked.
After all, it was impossible for a small pirate like Callum to have Armament Haki. Even, before entering the New World, there were very few people who could use Armament Haki.
Now, Callum could actually use Armament Haki, how could Smoker not be shocked?
"You still know, then you should know what Armament Haki means!" Callum also expected that Smoker would have such a reaction.
However, it was not important.
"Then I can't let you go even more!" At this time, Smoker had already expected that Callum's strength was far more powerful than mentioned on the bounty amount.
Then, Smoker could not not arrest Callum even more.
This kind of pirate had to be locked up in Impel Down.
Originally, Smoker's purpose for coming out this time was only to completely arrest the Buggy Pirates of Buggy the Clown.
Now, it was really necessary to arrest this Callum first.
After arresting this Callum, it was not impossible to go find Buggy the Clown again.
"Smoke!" Thinking of this, Smoker took another big puff of his cigar. His body directly turned into smoke, and the upper half of his body instantly flew towards Callum. The jitte in his hand attacked Callum with a huge force.
"Boom!" Callum raised his hand, easily grabbed Smoker's jitte, and then used his strength to throw Smoker away.
However, after all, Smoker was a Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit user.
For such a collision, it would not have any effect on Smoker.
"Not bad!" Seeing Smoker who was not injured at all, Callum rushed again and came in front of Smoker again, raised his fist and slammed towards Smoker.
However, Smoker's reaction was still very quick, and his body directly turned into smoke, avoiding Callum's attack.
Callum punched the smoke, and did not use any strength.
"Could it be that you have Observation Haki?" Callum asked Smoker with some doubt.
"What's wrong, is it not possible for me, a Navy Captain, to know a little Observation Haki?" Smoker replied with disdain.
However, Smoker did have some Observation Haki.
It was just that his Observation Haki was not strong, and it was not worth mentioning.
Moreover, the reason why he was able to dodge Callum's attack just now. It was not because of Observation Haki. It was just that Smoker relied on his quick eyes and hands.
After all, Callum's fists were covered with Armament Haki.
If it hit his body, it would be a real fist, Armament Haki could ignore the power of the Devil Fruit.
