Sailing: One Kendo move per week
Chapter 1: A Kendo move every week
“Report to the Deputy Director, the Golden Lion Shiki has escaped!”
“What? Where are the seastone shackles on him? Have they been taken off?”
“No! He, the Golden Lion, cut off both legs!”
“Search! Pass the order down, have all the jailers search floor by floor!”

In the prison bathroom, Deputy Director Magellan, holding a Den Den Mushi wearing a gas mask, gave orders to the guards on all floors of the Impel Prison.
Red Lotus Hell.
Beast hell.
Hunger hell.
Burning hell.
Extremely cold hell.
Even to infinite hell.
The prison guards launched a carpet search, as if they were going to dig up the entire Impe Prison.
Tick
Suddenly, a drop of scarlet blood dripped from the ceiling.
“who?”
With the thought of promotion in mind, Hannibal, who was searching around the Infinite Hell, subconsciously looked up.
What caught the eye was not only drops of blood falling from the sky, but also a pair of cold and cruel eyes.
“Who are you.”
Hannibal’s pupils constricted and his face was covered in sweat.
Obviously.
He had identified the prisoner.
laugh–
After being discovered by Hannibal, Shiqi sat cross-legged on the ceiling calmly and lit a cigar leisurely:
“Do you know where my two swords are?”
“It’s a famous sword.”
“Yakura Ju and Kiku.”
He bit the cigar, took a deep puff, and then asked in a nonchalant tone.
“Promotion, promotion, I really want to be promoted!”
Hannibal, who was already sweating profusely, spoke incoherently when he opened his mouth.
“Although I’m very sorry, I still have to leave here.”
“I don’t want the foot anymore, I’ll give it to you.”
“Thank you for your care over the past two years!”
Seeing this, Sky seemed very satisfied with Hannibal’s reaction. Not only did he not kill Hannibal, but he also chatted with him with interest.
“Deputy Director Magellan.”
“Ski has been found!”
“Come and help!”
At this moment, Hannibal was finally able to control his tongue and immediately let out a loud roar.
Shiqi frowned slightly, as if he thought Hannibal was a little noisy, and then raised his hand casually.
Boom
The ground shook, and thick rock layers broke apart, turning into a rock lion. It opened its bloody mouth, leaned over, and swallowed the screaming and roaring Hannibal into its mouth.
After doing all this, Shiki did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he searched the Impel Prison like a lion king patrolling his territory. Only after he found his two famous swords did he activate the ability of the Float-Float Fruit and create a hole in the iron-clad prison wall.
Immediately following.
He was like a tiger out of a cage, breaking through the Impel Prison that had imprisoned many legendary pirates.
“Hahahahaha!”
“The sea.”
“Welcome your king!”
Shiqi rushed up to the clouds, howled towards the sky, and vented his excitement and excitement of returning to the sea.
call out
After venting all the frustration and depression he had felt after being imprisoned for a long time, Shi Ji chose a direction and flew nearly a hundred kilometers in one breath. He didn’t fly until dawn. When the long-lost sunlight came into his eyes, he hovered over the sea of clouds and enjoyed the sunbath unscrupulously.
After a while.
Shi Ji was like an eagle perched in the sky, overlooking the sea of clouds below, and soon his sight was fixed on a small island.
Defeated and captured.
Imprisoned for several years.
Plus a broken leg.
He decided to go to the island to rest for a while, and then return to the New World to meet his old friends whom he had not seen for a long time.
“No Roger.”
“No more Laozi.”
“This era should have fallen into Newgate’s hands!”
Thinking of this, Shiqi grinned and descended from the sea of clouds towards the island below.
“Um?”
Just as Shiqi was about to land on the island, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at the sea ahead with a knife-like gaze.
The sun hangs in the sky, hovering over the sea.
A lone boat, sailing on the light.
Wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat, fishing in the sea.
Shi Ji looked at the figure sitting on the boat and hanging his clothes, and his rebellious and dangerous eyes gradually narrowed.
As a man who once competed with Gol D. Roger for power in the era, although he had his head split open by the rudder of a ship, was beaten up by Garp and Sengoku together, and had his legs cut off, causing his strength to decline, he still has good eyesight.
Even though this is just a paradise and not a new world, being able to sail on a great route alone is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
“Hahahahaha.”
“Did you meet an interesting guy right after you came out?”
Shiqi’s narrowed eyes moved away from the other person and fell on a long sword placed diagonally on the boat.
The sword was clearly hidden in its sheath and at a distance, but when he looked at it, he felt a sharp stinging sensation from the blade.
As the user of the Float-Float Fruit and a great swordsman, Shiki naturally knew that an ordinary long sword that was not even a famous sword could not possibly have such a terrifying sharpness.
What really hurt him was the owner of the sword.
“Roger.”
Is this the era you want?
“It seems that this warm era is not all about incompetent people.”
Shiqi bit his cigar and looked at the face on the boat that was a little too young. His pupils shrank slightly and a long-lost shock arose in his heart.
There are not many great swordsmen who can make you feel pain in your eyes just by looking at them.
Not to mention he is a young swordsman.
The other side.
Luo Yan, who was sitting alone in a small boat, holding a fishing rod, seemed to have sensed something. He opened his eyes slightly, but did not immediately look at the arrogant figure standing on the island with a cold aura. Instead, he glanced at the dawn light that cut through the night.
“It’s the seventh day!”
“system.”
“Sign in.”
Seeing the dawn, Luo Yan couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
?Ding! Sign in successfully?
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the sword technique ultimate move: Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin. ]Sensing the information emerging from the depths of his mind, Luo Yan looked carefully and a character panel suddenly appeared before his eyes.
?Name: Luo Yan.?
?Age: 16 years old. ?
[Swordsmanship: Heaven-slashing swordsmanship, the sword heart is clear, all swords return to their origin. ]This is Luo Yan s plug-in.
Kendo system.
Although simple, it is extremely powerful.
By signing in once a week, you can obtain a kendo skill.
Is it an illusion?
“Why does this kid give me the feeling that he’s even more powerful?”
At the same time when Rosen obtained new sword skills through the weekly sign-in, Shi Ji in the distance frowned, and felt that the glare when he looked directly at Luo Yan was three times stronger than before.
Just by looking directly at it, it seemed as if the sharp edge penetrated directly into his spirit, causing him to involuntarily reach out for the famous sword floating beside him.
at the same time.
A fierce aura that belongs only to a great swordsman, like invisible sword energy, emanated from Shi Ji.
Before the sword force could come at him, Luo Yan’s sword heart had already given him a warning. He withdrew his attention from the sword system and traced the source of the sword force, first sweeping across Shi Ji’s broken leg and his lion-like face, and finally fixed on the two long swords in the opponent’s hands:
“It looks like we caught a really big fish today!”

Luo Yan raised the corner of his lips and slowly pulled up the fishing rod for fishing in the sea.
Get the Kendo ultimate move by signing in once a week.
A famous sword that suits your needs was also delivered to your door.
And two at a time.
As if sensing Luo Yan’s intention, the boat that was originally drifting with the current suddenly changed direction and moved towards the sharp momentum that Shi Ji was displaying.
“This ship is okay, but if I were to carry you, it wouldn’t be able to handle your brilliance.”
As the distance between the two sides closed, Shiqi relit a cigar.
“Just like the sword in your hand, it can’t bear the weight of your swordsmanship.”
He stared at Luo Yan with burning eyes.
“Yeah?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan smiled without commenting.
“My name is Shiki.”
“Although I have disappeared from this sea for several years, you should have heard of my name.”
Shiqi looked proud, as if it was a great honor to have heard of his name.
Battle of Et-Wol.
Lost most of the fleet.
Fight alone against the Navy Headquarters.
He was even imprisoned in Impel Prison.
But even so, he is still the golden lion that roars across the world.
“Golden Lion.”
“A flying pirate who was once as famous as the Pirate King, the strongest man in the world.”
“Yes, I have heard of it.”
Luo Yan talked about Shi Ji s past glory.
“It’s good to have heard of it.”
This saves me a lot of effort.
Seeing that there were still people who remembered him in this era, Shiqi felt very happy.
In his opinion, it was simply fate that he met Luo Yan on this uninhabited island after just escaping from Impel Prison and returning to the sea.
This sea once again provided me with left and right arms.
A younger, more powerful right hand.
“Boy.”
“Tell me your name.”
Faced with a young swordsman, even a ruthless and unruly Golden Lion would take the initiative to ask the other party’s name.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Luo Yan.”
Luo Yan said his name.

When he heard the name “Luo Yan”, Shi Ji’s eyes couldn’t help but shrink slightly.
Luo Yan’s name reminded him of the man whom he hated but also admired.
One Piece.
Roger.
Thinking of this, Shi Ji felt more and more that his meeting with Luo Yan was the result of fate.
“Is there something wrong?”
Seeing Shi Ji remained silent, Luo Yan couldn’t help but ask.
“nothing.”
“Just thinking of a guy who once rejected me.”
“The nasty guy who got me so close to world domination.”
Shiki suppressed his thoughts.
“Pirate King, huh?”
Although Luo Yan was asking, his tone was full of confidence.
“You are right.”
“But now the wall that was blocking me is gone.”
Shiqi raised his right hand, his voice revealing a strong ambition.
“so what?”
Luo Yan said in a calm tone.
No one in this world can stop me from doing anything.
Shiqi reached out to Rosen, as if to recapture his lost throne:
“Luo Yan, be my right hand!”
“You and I join forces. In this era without Roger, no one can stop us.”
“Even if it means bringing the world under our rule.”
His voice suddenly became high-pitched, like a lion out of a cage, roaring towards the territory that belonged to him.
“I refuse.”
Just as Shiqi was fantasizing about having a new deputy and roaring at the sea once again, a voice pulled him out of his fantasy.
“Do you know what you are talking about?”
Shi Ji’s face froze, and a murderous aura was revealed between his brows.
His personality was not that of an easy person to get along with, and after suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Garp and Sengoku and being imprisoned in Impel Prison for several years, he had accumulated a terrifying amount of hostility.
Faced with Luo Yan’s rejection, a fierce murderous aura almost burst out from his eyes.
“certainly.”
Luo Yan seemed not to notice the murderous intent lingering in Shi Ji’s eyes.
“Then do you know who you are rejecting?”
Shiqi floated forward several meters, and a sword force that was even more powerful than before spread out, and even the air became gloomy and murderous.
“A remnant of the old era who is unwilling to be eliminated.”
Luo Yan said indifferently.
“It’s just as infuriating as always.”
“It’s the same with Roger, and it’s the same with you.”
“You guys with the word ‘Luo’ in your name, are you born to irritate me?”
Hearing this, Shiki remembered Gol D. Roger who had rejected him. He couldn’t help but grin:
“But in this world, the only person who can reject me is Roger.”
“you.”
Not qualified yet.
As soon as his murderous laugh ended, the entire island suddenly shook violently.
Dust was flying and sand and gravel were rising into the sky.
The island seemed unable to withstand the wrath of the golden lion, and immediately a huge mudslide broke out, as if trying to quell the other party’s anger.
Next second.
A lion so huge that it could eat giants alive poked its head out from the rolling mudslide that was rushing straight into the sky.
Two huge and lifelike lion eyes exude a cold murderous intent.
Standing high above, he looked down at Luo Yan.
“Luo Yan, right?”
“I’ll give you one last chance.”
“Become my right hand, or die here?”
Shiki crossed his arms over his chest, with the famous swords Yingju and Muku floating at his sides.
Apart from Gol D. Roger, he would not allow anyone else in this world to reject him.
“I should be the one telling you.”
“Do you want to leave Ying Shi and Mu Ku behind and then leave here, or do you want me to kill you first and then take Ying Shi and Mu Ku away?”
Facing the legendary pirate head-on, Luo Yan was not afraid at all.
After traveling to the world of pirates and activating the kendo system for 21 days, no one knows better than him how powerful the kendo skills that he signs in once a week are.
If it were Shiki in his prime, who has only signed three times so far and is not domineering, he might still be afraid of three points.
But it was a relic from the old times, its head split open by the rudder of a ship and its legs cut off.
Luo Yan really doesn’t take it seriously.
After all, a swordsman’s heart is clear and he won’t lie.
Although this ability does not have any attack or defense capabilities, it possesses a perception ability similar to Observation Haki.
And it is different from active skills like Observation Haki.
His sword heart is clear and transparent.
Open 24 hours a day.
Arrogant.
After hearing this, Shiqi’s expression changed. He no longer looked at his right hand, but at the dead man.
He no longer wanted to waste words on the dead man, but just raised his hand and waved.
Breaking out of the ground, a huge and burly mud and stone lion as big as a mountain stepped on the ground with both feet, jumped up, and with murderous aura, opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Luo Yan alive.
Facing a giant lion that was so huge that it could swallow small and medium-sized sea kings alive with one hand, Luo Yan stood calmly on the boat, his hand slowly reaching for the hilt of the sword.
Snap
The moment the slender five fingers grasped the hilt of the sword, a sword pressure as heavy as a mountain spread out instantly, filling all the air nearby, like an invisible sword mountain, suppressing Tianhai.
The stone lion, which had originally opened its mouth to swallow him with great momentum, suddenly stopped moving, like Monkey King suppressed by the Five Finger Mountain of Buddha, hovering in place, motionless.
Chapter 3: Heaven-Slaying Swordsmanship! (Please give me flowers! Please add me to your collection! Please rate me!) (Old version)
The sound of water dripping on the ground was heard.
That was the sweat that poured out of Shiqi’s body and dripped down his face to the ground.
Seeing that the mountain-like lion he created was stopped in place by the pressure of the sword alone, he felt that the pirate world before him was so strange.
Although he had only been in prison for a few years, the world outside seemed to have changed dramatically.
Before his narrow defeat at the hands of Gol D. Roger, as a renowned swordsman in the New World, Shiki knew only too well how terrifying the sword pressure before him was.
Even though he didn’t want to admit it, he knew it in his heart.
Even in his prime, he did not possess this level of swordsmanship.
“It’s a lie, it’s a lie!”
“A kid who’s not even twenty years old actually has such incredible swordsmanship.”
“How is that possible?”
Shi Ji originally looked at Luo Yanru as if he were a dead man, but now with the pressure of the monstrous sword on him, it was like looking at a god.
In his opinion, just based on the overwhelming sword pressure that Luo Yan unleashed, even if he had not refined the black sword, he would be enough to compete for the throne of the world’s most powerful swordsman.
clang
Just as Shi Ji’s expression changed drastically, Luo Yan pulled the sword’s hand upwards, and the sword hidden in the scabbard only revealed a small section of the sword body, which spread out in all directions. The invisible sword pressure as heavy as a thousand pounds suddenly increased, like a materialized sword mountain.
Boom
The huge lion, as big as a mountain, trembled all over and a large amount of mud and rocks rolled down.
Click
Along with the sound of the earth cracking, shocking cracks extended from the lion’s head to all parts of the body, and in a flash spread all over the body, making the originally towering and imposing lion become like a shaky porcelain that was about to break.
At this time.
The sharp blade was unsheathed, and a flash of sword light burst out, completely covering the light of dawn that was cutting through the sky.
Shi Ji, who was floating in the air, only felt a flash before his eyes, and all the scenes in his sight disappeared in an instant, leaving only the terrifying sword light that seemed to be able to cut through the sky and split the earth.
Phew
At the same time when the sword light occupied his entire pupil, he heard two sounds of tearing cloth almost simultaneously.
Shi Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked carefully, only to find that the sword light that obscured his vision had disappeared.
Instead, the mud and stone lion that he had raised from the ground with the Floating Fruit and was big enough to swallow a giant alive had been cut in half and turned into powder.
Suddenly.
Shi Ji felt a heart-wrenching pain in his chest. He looked down reflexively and broke out in a cold sweat.
From right shoulder to abdomen.
A scarlet, hideous blade-like edge was coiled on his body like a centipede.
By the time he reacted, a stream of scarlet blood had already spurted out from the wound on his body.
So fast!
Shi Ji’s pupils constricted, and a long-lost shock arose in his heart.
He is not only the user of the Float-Float Fruit, but also a great swordsman famous throughout the world.
But now, he was stabbed and injured before he could react.
How could he not be moved by it?
Just as Shiqi was shocked, a loud noise was heard from the ground beneath his feet.
He glanced downward.
I saw that the island under my feet had been torn apart by a chasm that stretched for more than a thousand meters and looked like a giant dragon.
The chasm was so long that it split the island in two.
With one sword, the mud and stone lion was chopped into pieces.
A sword cut the golden lion, and the sky was stained with blood.
One sword cut the island in half.
Such a sharp edge was enough to terrify even someone as strong as Shi Ji.
This moment.
He no longer had the arrogance he had before towards Luo Yan, instead he only had the solemnity of facing an opponent of the same level.
No.
It’s heavy.
This sword broke the arrogance of the golden lion that roared across the world.
This forced him to regard Rosen as his lifelong rival.
Shiqi reached out and wiped the blood that stained the prisoner’s uniform, and he smiled.
The laughter shook the sky and the sea of clouds.
“What was that sword just now called?”
After a long laugh, Shi Qi stared at Luo Yan.
“Heaven-slashing sword technique.”
Luo Yan held the knife in his right hand and spoke calmly.
“The Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique?”
“Hahahahaha!
“I recognize you.”
“Luo Yan.”
As soon as the words fell.
Shiki grabbed Ying Ju and Mu Ku who were floating beside him with both hands.
Clang
Two famous swords were unsheathed at the same time.
This is a fighting stance that he will only display when facing someone he recognizes.
He held two swords in his hands, instead of using the swords as his feet.
This is the great two-sword swordsman who is feared throughout the sea.
Golden lion.
Snap
Luo Yan glanced at Shi Ji who had drawn his sword, and he put the blade back into the scabbard with his backhand.
In his eyes, there is no difference between a swordsman who uses a sword as a foot or a dual-wielding swordsman who wields swords with both hands.
“Lion’s Might – Earth Scroll.”
Shiqi raised Muku in his left hand.
Boom boom
The earth roared and shook, and the island that was cut in half by Luo Yan flipped over at the same time, forming four huge lions with their feet on the sea and their heads on the universe. They set off tremendous waves and rushed towards Luo Yan from all directions.
He raised the famous sword Sakuraju in his right hand above his head.
The sword pointed to the sky, and before it fell, the overwhelming and fierce sword force shot out like a storm.
Chopping!
Shiqi grinned and roared, slashing down the Sakura Ten in his hand against the wind.
Bang–
It was clearly the blade of a sword cutting through the air, but there was a thunderous roar like a cannon firing.
As the sword blade fell, a slashing wave hundreds of meters long, like a giant dragon breaking through the sea, rode the wind and waves, carrying a devastating edge, and headed straight for Luo Yan.
This is the weight of a legendary pirate.
The fruits are floating, and the weather is changing.
The two-sword sword technique is extremely sharp.
Any random attack is like a human-shaped natural disaster.
Destroying a city and destroying a country is just a matter of a snap of fingers.
However.
Facing the terrifying group of lions swarming in from all directions, Luo Yan stood calmly on the boat, not moving a step.
Whether it was the raging air waves that almost overturned the boat, or the pack of lions that swooped down to eat him alive, or even the terrifying slashing waves that followed like a rainbow piercing the sun.
None of these could move him in the slightest.
Luo Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and just as the lions were getting close to his face, his hand gripping the hilt of the sword tightened slightly.
boom–
The sword pressure as heavy as a mountain was spread out in an instant, forcing the flying lions to stop moving as if they were hovering in front of him.
The sea surface under the boat could not bear the weight and cracked into horrific cracks like a dry riverbed.
Immediately.
A huge wave rose from the crack and rushed straight into the sky.
Just the pressure of the sword was enough to intimidate the lions and crack the sea surface.
Such a heavy and terrifying sword pressure shocked Shi Ji, who was hundreds of meters away from Luo Yan.
“This sword pressure is stronger than before!”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Wasn’t that sword strike just now a gesture of him giving it his all?”
Shiki was incredulous.
He thought that the sword that had just wounded him was Luo Yan’s strongest attack.
Never thought.
That sword was just a greeting gift between two great swordsmen.
It was like the meeting of kings, they greeted each other with a domineering look.
Not to mention giving it my all, I can’t even be considered serious.

Chapter 4: One sword cuts the island, two swords cut the sea, three swords cut the sky! (Please give flowers! Please collect! Please comment!) (Old version)
With the sword’s pressure as big as a mountain, he intimidated the lion group and at the moment when the sea surface collapsed, Luo Yan drew the sword with his right hand, jumped out of the small boat, and passed the huge lion group as big as a mountain.
He was high above, looking down on everything.
The long sword in his hand slashed down in the air.
The sword light burst out, first like a crescent moon across the sky, and then spread in all directions, like a sword curtain covering the sky, encompassing the sky and swallowing the sea.
Sizzle
The moment the sword curtain spread out, the several stone lions formed by the entire island that tried to surround and kill Luo Yan were like glass cups falling to the ground. They didn’t even have a chance to crack. Their huge bodies as big as a mountain turned into dust and dissipated with the wind.
Just like the dust stuck on the table, it disappears into thin air after being blown away.
The sword light was like a raging wave, raging on the sea and dancing wildly in the sky, and it met the super-large slashing wave released by Shiqi’s sword with an unstoppable posture.
A sword curtain that blocked out the sun and a slashing wave that stretched for hundreds of meters.
As soon as the two collided, there was a loud bang like thunder, as if the god of thunder was beating the drum in the sky.
Earth-shaking.
With the sword curtain and slashing as the center, the mighty storm of sword energy shot out in all directions, comparable to a passing typhoon, raising huge waves on the sea and dismembering and severing the white clouds covering the sky.
After a brief and violent collision, the slashing wave released by Shiki interpreted four words with its own destruction.
An ant trying to shake a tree.
Under the crushing of the sword curtain, the slashing wave, which was hundreds of meters long and as big as a large sea king, broke into pieces layer by layer after a few seconds of stalemate, and turned into stardust all over the sky, like flying fireflies, appearing beautiful and murderous.
At the same time as the slashing wave shattered into stardust, the endless sea surface suddenly cracked into a huge Z-shaped crack like a biscuit being broken open.
When the sword energy as bright as a laser instantly filled the crack, the sea water could not irrigate and repair the crack, forming a terrifying ocean chasm.
The terrifying sword light was like magma gushing out from an underwater volcano, rising from the sea and rushing straight into the sky.
The first sword.
Cut the island.
The second sword.
Cut the sea.
This scene penetrated into Shiji’s eyes, causing his pupils and heart to shrink at the same time.
The feeling of horror also occupied his eyes and mind.
But at this moment, he didn’t have time to think too much, and quickly raised his two swords, holding Ying Ju and Mu Ku in front of him like shields.
The lions were reduced to dust.
The slashing wave was shattered into stardust.
Without the obstruction of the two, the sword curtain released by Luo Yan was unstoppable and roared towards Shi Ji with great force.
at this time.
Shi Ji was like an ordinary person facing a tsunami, trying to use two long swords to resist the raging sword energy.
Bang
With the sword curtain on his body, Shiki was floating in the air. Even though he used the Float-Float Fruit to its fullest extent to try to stabilize himself, under the pressure of the sword curtain, his body still flew backwards like a cannonball.
The overwhelming pressure of the sharp edge made his eyes widen, his face distorted, and his sword-holding hands trembled violently.
The wound that had finally stopped bleeding burst open again, spurting out a streak of scarlet blood.
But he didn’t pay any attention to it, and instead focused all his attention on dealing with the huge sword curtain in front of him.
No domineering.
“Just pure swordplay.”
“Is this really a power that a swordsman can possess?”
Shi Ji gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist, but the fear lingering in his heart still made him unable to calm down for a long time.
If Luo Yan’s sword was like Gol D. Roger’s Divine Evasion, a slashing wave wrapped in domineering domineering, then although he would be shocked, he could still accept it.
But the problem is that after the head-on battle, he discovered that the two swords released by Luo Yan were pure to the extreme, without any domineering aura or swordsmanship from the power of the fruit.
As a dual-wielding swordsman, Shiki boasts that even if he is not the most powerful swordsman in the world, he can still be ranked among the top three swordsmen in the world based on his swordsmanship alone.
In his opinion, even if the strongest swordsman in the world could surpass him in swordsmanship, the distance was not out of reach.
At the very least, it is absolutely impossible for him to possess this kind of swordsmanship that can suppress one’s own fruit ability and slashing wave one after another.
A loud rumble of thunder swept across the sky and sea, exploding wave after wave of sound like raging waves in the sea.
After retreating a thousand meters, Shi Ji managed to keep his body steady.
But thick blood was flowing from his chest.
The hands holding Ying Ju and Mu Ku were shaking violently.
You can even see blood from the hilt of the sword.
His knuckles were cracked.
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Shiki gasped for air.
Although he blocked the second sword, he was not happy at all.
Because Luo Yan in his sight had already put the sharp blade back into the sheath.
Drawing the sword twice made him exhausted.
If this second sword attack was Luo Yan’s limit, then it would be fine, at least he could still deal with it, if not.
Thinking of this, Shiqi, who was already out of breath, looked even gloomier.
Cut off both legs and escape from Impel Prison.
I thought I could make Luo Yan my right-hand man.
But now it seems that he has really become a remnant of the old era.
Becoming a stepping stone for the new era trendsetters that my past self looked down upon.
Is this the era you want to see?
“An era stronger than ours.”
Shiqi panted, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes:
“No.”
“How can this great pirate era where kids are just playing house surpass you and me!”
Shi Ji took a leap forward, like a roc spreading its wings, holding two swords in his hands, and flew towards Luo Yan through the air.
Unwilling to become a remnant of the old era.
I also don t agree with the so-called Great Pirate Era.
With this determination and will, he did not retreat but advanced.
The sword points at Luo Yan.
“Shishiwei Royal Palace Scroll.”
Shiqi roared, his momentum shaking the sky.
The sky, which was originally clear and bright, had suddenly become dark and gloomy, with lightning bolts cutting through the sky.
As if responding to his will.
Boom boom boom
The sea is rolling.
Under the control of Shiki’s maximum level of the Float-Float Fruit, the sea that made countless people with special abilities despair was actually driven by his will and set off a huge wave.
The vast ocean turned into ferocious lions as huge as islands, capable of swallowing everything.
Facing this force that was like a natural disaster at sea, Luo Yan’s eyes remained calm, and he unhurriedly drew out the sword from its sheath with his sword-holding hand.
The sword came out and the sky split.
Countless crisscrossing sword energies spread towards the sky like electric snakes.
Wherever it passed, the sky was overwhelmed and could not withstand the sharp sword energy that cut through the sky. It was torn into pieces with holes and cracks everywhere.
If Shiki used the largest level of Floating Fruit to cause a natural disaster at sea, then Luo Yan brought down a sword disaster that was powerful enough to cut through the sky.
One sword splits the sky.
It was as if two kings were entangled in domineering aura and erupted into a violent clash.
Such a horrifying phenomenon of heaven and earth.
Such a terrifying and stunning edge.
It even made Shiki, the great two-sword swordsman, shudder.
It could even swallow an island alive. The sea lions that were forcibly submerged were shattered like streets hit by missiles, forming countless water fragments made of sea water that looked like broken bricks and tiles.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 5: Three Swords to Cut the Golden Lion (Please give me flowers, please add me to your collection, please give me comments!) (Old version)
After wiping out all the sea lions with one sword, the sky-cutting sword energy that covered the universe immediately spread towards Shi Ji.
Wherever the sword energy passed, it was like a series of ferocious thunder pythons winding and circling.
Crack the sky.
In a trance, Shi Ji seemed to be dreaming back to the past.
Back to his peak period.
Back to the Battle of Et-Wol.
Facing ambushes from all sides, violent storms and sky-destroying tsunamis.
He looked closely.
Whether it was the violent storm or the sky-swallowing tsunami, they all disappeared.
Instead, there was a sword net that was powerful enough to split the sky and cut through the sea, yet could cover the sky and block out the sun.
Shi Ji, who was trapped in the Heaven-Slaying Sword Net, actually grinned wildly.
That blood-stained face of defeat revealed a complicated smile.
The next moment.
Puff
Shi Ji loosened his hand that was holding Mu Ku, reached out for the rudder that was inserted into the head, and then, under Luo Yan’s surprised gaze, he pulled the rudder out.
Thick blood mixed with something similar to brain matter spurted out.
“Compared to before, he is like two completely different people.”
Luo Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew that although Ski had managed to survive the Battle of Et-Wol, the rudder of the ship had pierced his head, and if it was pulled out, he would be dead.
This rudder also became the strength limiter of Shiqi.
It may not seem like a big deal at first, but as time goes by and years go by, the golden lion that once roared across the world will gradually become a relic of the old era.
Especially after the battle between the Marine Headquarters and Garp and Sengoku, even though he cut off his legs and escaped from prison, his injuries worsened, making it difficult for Shiki to even use his Haki.
But now, after Shi Ji pulled out the rudder, Luo Yan was surprised to find that his sword heart was clearly giving him a warning.
“Let me show you.”
“This is the true dual-wielding swordsman.”
Shi Ji threw the rudder into the sea and held the famous sword Mu Ku in his hand again.
He clenched his hands, and a powerful armed color domineering aura that was visible to the naked eye flowed out from his palms, like two flying black dragons lingering around the blade.
With a hair-raising sound of metal clashing, the Sakuraju and Muku held in Shiki’s hands turned into indestructible black swords.
“It finally looks like something.”
Seeing this, Luo Yan was briefly surprised, and then his eyes became calm again.
Pulling out the rudder means death is not far away.
But it is like opening a door and achieving the ultimate sublimation before the end of life.
This is the swordsman.
Even in desperate situations, he can still burst out with incredible brilliance.
“Lion Power. Chopping Wave!”
Faced with a net of sword energy that was powerful enough to split the sky, Shi Ji did not retreat but advanced instead. Holding two black knives in his hands, he burst out with domineering aura, forming a ferocious black lion made of domineering aura and slashing in the void.
The ferocious, huge, and terrifying black fangs, carrying the black sword that had crushed countless heroes, pounced towards the sky and bit.
Even if it was a sword that could cut the sky, Shi Ji would bite it into pieces with the fangs of a lion.
The Sky-Splitting Sword Net and the Domineering Lion collided in the void.
There was no earth-shattering thunder. The sky and the sea seemed to become silent when the two swords intersected, and all was quiet.
All the sounds seemed to be wiped out in an instant.
All that was left was the shocking sword light that burst out when the two men’s swords clashed, and the waves of slashing that spread across the universe and the sea, like waves.
In this silent collision, the sky was covered with cracks and the sea surface was riddled with holes.
After a moment.
The disappeared sound reappeared.
A deafening thunderous sound was heard, and a bottomless chasm formed between the sea and the sky.
Between the sky and the sea, the domineering lion that was in violent conflict with the sword net suddenly let out a roar like thunder.
It’s like the sad song of a king at the end of his rope.
Like a mountain, the domineering lion that tried to bite the sword net apart exploded and turned into dust and mist surrounded by starlight, flying in the wind.
The Sky-Splitting Sword Net rapidly expanded in Shi Ji’s pupils until it submerged everything in his sight.
There were creepy gaps that went deep into Shiji’s internal organs all over his body.
Scarlet and sticky blood spurted out from the criss-crossing wounds like magma erupting.
The black knife in his hand was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The armament domineering aura that entangled Sakura Juu and Moku was gradually dissipating and disappearing.
It was like a domineering lion being chopped into pieces and turned into dust.
Luo Yan sheathed his sword and did not draw it again. Instead, he stood on the boat and quietly looked at Shi Ji, who had a complicated expression.
“Did I lose again?”
Shi Ji’s eyes were dazed, and his bloodstained face showed reluctance and powerlessness, as well as relief and admiration.
He has pulled out the rudder, burned out his life, and sublimated to the utmost.
Even if this sword defeated Luo Yan, what awaited him was only death.
But even though the great swordsman was at his peak and slashed with a pair of black swords at his best, he was still no match for Luo Yan’s sword.
The most important thing is that from beginning to end, Shi Ji did not read a trace of domineering power on the edge of Luo Yan’s sword.
In other words, the young swordsman in front of him defeated him entirely by relying on his swordsmanship that was pure to the extreme.
This is something that even Gol D. Roger couldn’t do.
After all, although One Piece uses a sword, the sword is just a tool, a tool for using domineering.
That’s all.
On the other hand, Luo Yan.
The art of drawing the sword and cutting the sky.
There is no domineering aura, only sword energy that is pure to the extreme.
But it is this swordsmanship that is pure to the extreme, that can defeat domineering in this pirate world where domineering is supreme and overrides everything.
“Perhaps you are right.”
“This great age of pirates will give birth to heroes who surpass me and you.”
Shi Ji tried his best, opened his eyes wide, and stared at Luo Yan, as if he wanted to engrave this young man who was superior to him into the depths of his memory before his life came to an end.
He loosened his grip on Ying Ju and Mu Ku’s hands.
Thoughts are racing.
The two famous swords flew towards Luo Yan like arrows, not attacking but hovering in front of him.
After doing all this.
Shi Ji’s eyes gradually closed, and his body floating in the sky began to fall towards the sea.
Previously, due to a battle with Garp and Sengoku, the rudder of a ship pierced his head, deeper than before, making him unable to use Haki.
But after pulling out the rudder with his own hands, he can use not only the Armament Haki, but also the Observation Haki.
That’s why.
He used his observation Haki to read Luo Yan’s emotions and thoughts.
He knew that the other party had already taken his pair of swords into his possession.
To this.
Instead of being angry, Shi Ji took the initiative to hand over the sword that had accompanied him for decades.
“Since you have taken my knife, you must lead them to a height that even Roger has never set foot on.”
“Take a look at the scenery that towers over One Piece.”
Shiqi used all his strength and let out an earth-shattering shout.
His eyes closed, and he fell into the sea like a kite with a broken string.
The scarlet blood flowed out, dyeing the surrounding sea water red, and the aura around him was like a candle that had been blown out.
Disappeared into nothingness.
Legendary Pirate.
die!
Chapter 6: The famous sword surrenders! (Please give flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
As Shiqi’s breath disappeared, Ying Ju and Mu Ku, who had been hovering in the void for a long time, suddenly fell towards the sea.
Just as the two famous swords were about to fall into the sea, Rosen reached out and grabbed the two famous swords in his hand.
“A view that towers over the King of Pirates?”
His eyes swept over the Yingju and Muku in his hands.
“Can.”
Luo Yan nodded slightly, grasped the hilt of the knife with five fingers, and pulled out the Ying Shi that was hidden in the sheath.
The whole process seemed to go exceptionally smoothly.
There was no situation similar to Yama releasing the Armament Haki without authorization.
There was no situation such as the demon sword devouring its master.
In his hands, Ying Ju seemed unusually obedient.
Like a tamed hound.
Obey orders.
“Isn’t it said that famous swords all have their own unique characteristics?”
“The more powerful the sword, the more character it has?”
“After all, you are one of the Twelve Great Sword Masters. How come you don’t seem to be angry at all?”
Through the sword’s clear heart, Luo Yan could clearly sense that the famous sword Sakura Ju in his hand was not without character, nor was it not as powerful as Yama, but was revealing a signal.
It’s called surrender.
This supreme sword, the only paired sword among the twelve crafts, is not without personality, nor is it without the requirement of choosing a master, but after the battle with Shiki, this sword has been convinced by him.
Luo Yan pulled out another famous sword with his backhand.
Same as Sakura Ten.
In his hands, the famous sword Mu Ku seemed unusually obedient.
It’s like a tamed lion that obeys orders.
Jianxin Tongming also sensed a signal of submission from Mu Ku.
“That’s fine.”
“It saves me the effort of convincing you.”
Luo Yan put Ying Shi and Mu Ku back into the scabbard and then put them at his waist.
Although he is currently a one-sword swordsman, of course the more famous swords the better.
After all, not to mention that the kendo skills you sign in later may give you dual-sword skills, just the “Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin” that you signed in not long ago is a kendo skill that can control multiple weapons.
After making sure that Yingju and Boku would not be like Enma in Zoro’s hands, who would get angry from time to time, Luo Yan turned his attention back to Shiki.
Seeing that the opponent’s body was about to sink into the sea, he could not help but raise the ordinary long sword that he had used to kill Shi Ji before, and picked his body out of the sea.
Luo Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his passive sword skill that was activated 24 hours a day, his sword heart was clear, giving a warning.
Although there was nothing in his sight except the boundless ocean, out of trust in Kenshin’s wisdom, he still reached for the Sakura Ten at his waist.
Almost at the same time when Luo Yan’s hand grasped the Sakura Ten Sword Sheath, a golden light suddenly burst out from the sea surface.
A tall figure wearing a coat of justice stepped out of the light and hovered over the sea.
The other party raised his hands high, faced Luo Yan, and made a gesture of surrender.
“This swordsman brother.”
“Please put away your weapons.”
“I’m not a bad person.”
After the visitor appeared, he raised his hands and stepped back to show that he had no bad intentions.
“Borusalino.”
At this time, Luo Yan also saw the other person’s face clearly.
Although the face looked much younger than the one in his memory, he still recognized it at a glance.
The person who came was the user of the Flash Fruit.
One of the future admirals.
Kizaru.
“Who are you?”
Although he recognized Borsalino’s identity, Luo Yan pretended not to know.
“Hello, I am the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.”
“Kizaru.”
“Nice to meet you, swordsman brother.”
Borsalino introduced himself while glancing at Shiki’s body from the corner of his eye.
The observation Haki quietly spread out.
As Zephyr’s senior disciple and a great swordsman himself, he had observed a lot of sensational information with just a quick glance at Shiqi’s body.
This golden lion, who was once as famous as the Pirate King and the strongest man in the world, was killed in a very short time.
“There is no domineering energy left in the wound.”
“That is to say, he defeated Shiki overwhelmingly using only his swordsmanship.”
“This young man’s swordsmanship is truly terrifying!”
There was a flash of shock in Borsalino’s eyes behind his sunglasses.
Facing Shi Ji with a broken leg, he was confident that he could win, and have the upper hand. However, it was impossible for him to kill Shi Ji without any injury in a very short time just by relying on swordsmanship.
But the black-haired boy in front of him did it.
Even Djork Mihawk, whom he had met in the past, could not match this incredible swordsmanship.
“Just call me Luo Yan.”
“Mr. Kizaru.”
Faced with Borsalino’s polite appearance, Luo Yan certainly would not say anything rude.
He still had some understanding of the personalities of the three natural generals.
For example, Borsalino in front of him.
Even if they are pirates, they are generally unwilling to kill anyone unless they are the target of the other party’s mission or are extremely vicious.
“Excuse me for asking.”
“Did you kill Shiki, little brother?”
Although Borsalino had already guessed the correct answer, he still wanted to hear it from Luo Yan himself.
“Yes.”
Luo Yan nodded slightly.
“This is the famous flying pirate!”
“I just escaped from Impel Prison. I heard the news and came here to give chase.”
“I didn’t expect to die under your sword, little brother.”
While Borsalino was amazed, he did not forget to explain his purpose.
“Then wouldn’t it be like I’m stealing your credit?”
Luo Yan smiled lightly.
“Just spare me!”
This is a golden lion!
“I don’t have the swordsmanship you have, little brother.”
Borsalino had a humble expression:
“Besides, I will be relieved if you kill Shiki, little brother.”
“You know it, after all.”
“As a marine, even if I really killed Shiki, I won’t be able to collect the bounty. The most I can do is add another entry to my resume.”
“But I’m already a candidate for general, so I don’t need this military achievement at all.”
He spread his hands, looking relaxed.
“Since you are a candidate for admiral, you should know where the nearest naval base is.”
Luo Yan placed Shi Ji’s body on the boat.
As the person whose bounty in the world is second only to Edward Newgate, he certainly couldn’t bear to let him sink into the sea.
This is the world of pirates after all.
Unless you are engaged in the pirate industry, you will need money for everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation.
By exchanging Shiqi’s bounty, you can become financially free on the spot.
“Brother Luo Yan.”
“If you want to redeem Shiki’s bounty, the general naval branch may not be able to meet your requirements.”
“A legendary pirate like Shiki must go to the Marine Headquarters.”
After Borsalino finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Luo Yan might misunderstand him, so he added an explanation:
“The bounty on Shiki’s head before he went to jail was 4.858 billion berries.”
“Except for the headquarters, no other naval base can afford such a large sum of money.”
“If you want to redeem the bounty now, I can lead the way for you. I can also take a ride on your boat.”
Borsalino did not board the ship immediately, but floated in the air, waiting for Luo Yan’s reply.
In the world of pirates, there is an unwritten rule.
A ship is like someone s home.
It is very rude to trespass without permission.
For the navy or pirates, it is tantamount to declaring war.
Although Borsalino is a candidate for general, he is usually not arrogant at all, but instead shows a very high level of personal cultivation.
Even when facing ordinary people, he is polite.
But once it comes to carrying out the mission, he is like two different people.
This is Kizaru.
Ambiguous justice.
Chapter 7 Recruiting Luo Yan! Shocking Steel Bone (Please give flowers, collect, and comment!) (Old version)
“Then please lead the way.”
“Uncle Kizaru.”
Luo Yan signaled the other party to board the ship.
“Uncle?”
“Brother, you should just call me Borsalino.”
“Don’t look at me like an old man, I’m actually still very young.”
After Borsalino came on board, he told his name.
“All right!”
Seeing that the other party was trying hard to emphasize his youth, Luo Yan also felt amused.
Let s be honest.
Even the younger version of Borsalino doesn’t look young at all.
Developed quite quickly.
“That’s right, little brother.”
“After exchanging the bounty, you shouldn’t have to worry about money anymore.”
“What are your plans for the future?”
After some casual chatting, the two became closer.
Borsalino spoke with less hesitation, and at the same time he couldn’t help but inquire about Luo Yan’s plans for the future.
If it was an ordinary swordsman, he wouldn’t bother to ask.
But facing a great swordsman who had killed the Golden Lion with three swords, and who was frighteningly young, even someone as easy-going as him had to find out.
After all, with Luo Yan’s strength and potential, once he becomes a pirate, he will at least be like the emperor of the sea.
I haven t decided yet.
Luo Yan shook his head.
After activating the kendo system, he planned to draw lots and hunt pirates at the same time.
You can develop and make money at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
But after beheading Shi Ji with three swords, Luo Yan suddenly found that he no longer needed to develop or make money.
Even if from this moment on, he no longer obtains any sword skills and no longer hunts pirates, he still has the strength to stand at the top of the world, plus a fortune of 4.858 billion berries.
When asked this by Borsalino, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have no goal other than continuing the weekly signing.
“You choose to hunt pirates and earn bounties, which means you are for justice, or at least you don’t agree with pirates.”
“How about this?”
“Since you haven’t decided what you want to do in the future, how about coming to the headquarters and becoming a marine?”
“With your talent, you will definitely be entrusted with important tasks by the headquarters if you join the navy.”
When Borsalino saw this, he had an idea and thought of recruiting Luo Yan.
Since I have encountered this kind of wild emperor-level combat power and I am not a pirate yet, I must not miss it.
“How heavy is it?”
“General?”
Luo Yan asked with interest.
He had no objection to joining the navy, and was rather interested in it.
After all, the general’s appearance and clothing style are both good.
In terms of fashion, they are much ahead of the pirates next door who wear slippers and shorts.
But it is limited to generals.
Luo Yan also only accepted the rank of general and did not accept any other military ranks.
I am not interested in starting from the bottom and working hard.
“Forehead!”
When Borsalino heard this, he was choked:
“Little brother.”
“Look, I’ve been in the navy for so many years, and I only recently became a candidate for admiral.”
Borsalino smiled bitterly.
He dare not make promises casually.
After all, the Navy Headquarters has a strict hierarchy.
If it was a vice admiral, he could still fight for it, but when it comes to a navy admiral, both the Navy Headquarters and the World Government are extremely cautious.
After all, the admiral not only possesses power above tens of millions of navy officers, but also has access to many secrets of the world government.
Unless there is a situation where the times are going awry and the combat power is extremely lacking, like after the Battle of Marineford, when Kuzan left, Sakaski was promoted to marshal, and only Borsalino was left among the three admirals.
Even Garp and Sengoku abdicated due to old age.
There is a gap between the old and the new.
There is a lack of combat power.
This led to the unprecedented world conscription and the exceptional appointment of generals.
That is not the case now.
Sengoku and Garp are in their prime, at the peak of their powers.
Although Zephyr has retired, the Marine Headquarters still has Sakaski, Polsarno, and Kuzan, three hexagonal monsters.
In addition, there are rising stars such as Gion and Kake.
Although the navy does not have many combat forces at the admiral level or combat forces with the qualifications of an admiral, they are not lacking either.
As strong as Borsalino is, he is 36 years old and is still gaining experience.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to carry out world conscription and appoint generals on an exceptional basis.
“If you were a lieutenant general from our headquarters, I would still dare to boast to you.”
“But as for the general, I am a candidate for general, so I don’t have the capital to promise you the rank of general.”
Borsalino spread his hands.
Although he wanted to win over Luo Yan, he didn’t dare to write a blank check.
He didn’t know whether the Navy would become enemies with Luo Yan if the promise was not fulfilled in the end, but he knew that he would definitely become enemies with Luo Yan.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“I’m just saying it casually.”
Luo Yan smiled and didn’t take it to heart.
Given the current prosperity of the Navy Headquarters, he would be surprised if an outsider like him were appointed as admiral as an exception.
Even if the headquarters is willing, the Five Elders may not agree.
“Are you really just saying that?”
Borsalino frowned slightly.
Luo Yan might have just said it casually, but he couldn’t pretend he hadn’t heard it.
What if this is the only chance to recruit the other party?
If it was an ordinary battle force, such as the future Fujitora or Green Bull, Borsalino would not care so much at all.
But the Luo Yan in front of him not only had a record of battle, but also had superb swordsmanship.
The most important thing is that the other party is too young.
In the world of pirates, being young means having unlimited potential.
The young and strong are the best fighters.
Even at the level of a general emperor, it still works.
“never mind.”
“There’s no point in thinking so much.”
“I’m just a small candidate for the general. Let Marshal Kong and Mr. Zhan Guo deal with the problem!”
Borsalino shook his head secretly.
He felt that recruiting Luo Yan was not something that a small general candidate like him should be responsible for.
All you have to do is make friends with Luo Yan.
The rest will be handled by the senior management of this department.
It can’t be that the marshal is not anxious, but the general is?
Especially since he is a candidate for general.
Mary Ford.
Marshal’s Office.
Because of Shiki’s prison break, Marshal Kong and Admiral Sengoku had to go to work early to discuss how to deal with this sudden change.
Compared to the damaged reputation of Impel Prison, they were more concerned about Skye.
A legendary pirate who possesses a top-level superhuman devil fruit.
Even though he has become a lone man, even if he has cut off his own legs, the threat he poses to the Marine Headquarters and the World Government is still real.
Bulu Bulu
A burst of rapid Den Den Mushi chirping interrupted the conversation between Sora and Sengoku.
“I am Sora.”
Sora picked up the microphone on the table and put it to his ear.
“Is it Borsalino?”
Seeing this, Zhan Guo, who was standing by, lowered his voice.
“Um!”
Sora nodded slightly at first, then listened carefully to the voice inside the Den Den Mushi, and his originally expressionless and stern face began to change.
Shock, astonishment, disbelief, as well as joy and excitement.
Each frame of the picture was also captured by Zhan Guo.
“Could it be that Borsalino intercepted Shiki?”
Zhan Guo speculated secretly.
After a while, Kong hung up the phone. Before Zhan Guo could ask, he said something shocking:
“Shiki, he was beheaded!”
Chapter 8 Marshals and generals came to welcome us! (Please give flowers, collect and comment!) (Old version)
“What? Shiki was killed?”
“He really did a great job this time!”
Upon learning that Shiqi was killed, Zhan Guo was overjoyed and subconsciously thought it was Borsalino’s credit.
“Not Borsalino.”
Sora shook his head.
“Not him?”
Zhan Guo looked stunned.
“The person who killed Shiki was a young swordsman named Luo Yan.”
“According to Borsalino, when he found Shiqi, he saw a dead body.”
Empty words can be shocking.
“A young boy can actually kill Shiki?”
Zhan Guo was shocked when he heard this.
In his opinion, even if Shiki cut off his own legs, he should still be as strong as the deputies of the Four Emperors.
Looking at the Grand Line, there are less than a handful of people who can solo Shiki.
That s not all.
“Borusalino also examined Ski’s body.”
“He said that Luo Yan probably only used three sword strikes to kill Shi Ji.”
Sora dropped a bombshell.
“Marshal Kong, you mean the three swords?”
After hearing this, Zhan Guo was so shocked that he stood up from the sofa.
Kong was also moved.
Although he had not dealt with Shiki since he became the Admiral of the Navy, he witnessed the battle in which Shiki challenged the Marine Headquarters single-handedly and fought against Garp and Sengoku alone.
Naturally, he was aware of Shiqi’s power.
“What concerns me most is what Borsalino mentioned.”
“He didn’t sense any domineering energy on Shiqi’s wound.”
“That is to say, the swordsman named Luo Yan killed Shi Ji with only three sword strikes without using any Haki.”
Empty talk is not enough to shock people.
“Could it be that the young man named Luo Yan has already refined the black sword?”
Even the Warring States, who claimed to possess the wisdom of Buddha, was horrified at this moment.
After all, Borsalino used the term “juvenile”, which meant that Luo Yan was less than twenty years old.
Shi Ji was killed with three swords, without any domineering aura.
This amazing swordsmanship was telling him a message.
Luo Yan’s swordsmanship is so high that no one can match him.
“Borsalino said that he killed Shiqi with a sword that he found on the roadside.”
“That sword is not a black sword either.”
Kong frowned, his tone revealing a hint of confusion:
That s what I don t understand the most.
“Based on the swordsmanship that Luo Yan has demonstrated, he definitely has the ability to refine a black sword, but why isn’t the sword he carries a black sword?
“Is it because you thought it was an ordinary sword that you didn’t refine it into a black sword?”
“No! With Luo Yan’s superb swordsmanship, the sword has been with him till today. Even if he didn’t refine the sword deliberately, it should have been refined into a black sword by the Armament Haki.”
Kong was puzzled.
In his opinion, all the great swordsmen who have reached the top are strong men who possess the top-level Armament Haki.
During training and fighting, he frequently wraps his sword with Armament Haki.
Day by day.
When a swordsman reaches the pinnacle, his sword will naturally be refined into a black sword.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo said nothing, but seemed to be thinking about something.
He thought of a possibility.
But this may be too horrifying, so it was not said before confirmation.
“Let’s not discuss this matter for now.”
“Compared to why Luo Yan failed to refine the black sword, there is another thing that deserves our attention more.”
Sora thought about it for a moment, but still couldn’t figure out the reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it and changed the subject:
“The boy named Luo Yan has a general feeling towards pirates. At least he doesn’t agree with the so-called Great Pirate Era.”
“On the contrary, I have no intention of opposing the navy.”
“Borsalino has already tried it out. He is not opposed to joining the navy. On the contrary, he has shown some interest.”
As soon as Kong said this, he immediately caught the attention of Sengoku.
Even though the Marine Headquarters was not as transitional as it had been after the Battle of Marineford, he still could not refuse a young swordsman who had killed Shiki with three swords.
Instead, he was extremely eager to recruit Luo Yan as a member of the navy.
“Does he agree with the justice of the Navy?”
That s a good thing.
“The navy officers who are qualified to be admirals are Borsalino, Sakaski, and Kuzan in this generation, and Ragen, Gion, and Kake in the next generation.”
Zhan Guo’s eyes lit up.
If the navy could really recruit Luo Yan, the inheritance problem of the two generations of admirals would be perfectly solved immediately.
Even the issue of succession of the naval marshal no longer needs to be a worry.
Kong nodded at first, then hesitated, looking worried.
“What’s wrong?”
“Marshal Kong.”
Zhan Guo saw that Kong looked embarrassed and couldn’t help asking.
“Borsalino said that although Luo Yan was not opposed to the navy, he did not show too much enthusiasm either.”
“Most importantly, he’s only interested in becoming an admiral.”
Sora hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“Are you going to be an admiral right away?”
Zhan Guo’s face darkened.
He has been fighting in many battles since he graduated from the Naval Academy.
Fight against the Rocks Pirates.
He fought against three legendary pirates.
He made countless contributions to the navy and was therefore promoted to admiral of the navy.
Of course, they were dissatisfied with the fact that Luo Yan was asked to take up a high position as soon as he arrived, and to be the general of our department.
But when he thought of his previous guess and Luo Yan’s age, Zhan Guo calmed down again.
“He may be qualified to become an admiral, but if he really does so, it will inevitably cause controversy.”
“Nothing else.”
“Besides Borsalino, Sakaski and Kuzan will definitely have opinions.”
In his opinion, although Luo Yan is strong, he is not strong enough for this department to make an exception for him.
After all, even if the headquarters is willing, the World Government may not agree.
“Marshal Kong, I think you should not rush to make a conclusion.”
“Why not meet Luo Yan first and then make a decision.”
Perhaps, you will see different scenery and have different views.
Sora was caught off guard by what Sengoku said.
Kong heard the hidden meaning behind Zhan Guo’s words and looked at him in surprise.
Zhan Guo met the gaze coming from the air and nodded slightly.
“Okay.”
“No matter what, he killed Shiqi and made great contributions to the navy. This is an ironclad fact.”
“Zhan Guo, just come with me to meet this young great swordsman.”
Sora stood up from the Marshal’s chair and walked towards the dock with Sengoku.
“Isn’t this Marshal Kong?”
“And General Xianshi.”
“Why did they go out together?”
“Are you going to meet someone?”
On the way to the dock, the navy along the way saw Kong and Sengoku traveling together, and they saluted hurriedly while secretly speculating.
Who on earth could be such an important person that the Navy Marshal and the Admiral of the headquarters could go to greet him together?
You know, although the Navy Headquarters is affiliated with the World Government, everyone who can become an admiral or marshal is the highest combat force of the World Government.
Even when facing the highest rulers of the world government like the Five Elder Stars, he has the qualifications to say no to them.
What can suppress such existence is not the power of the World Government or the ranks of the Marine Headquarters, but the justice they shoulder.
Chapter 9 If you practice sword, seeing him is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky (asking for flowers, collections, and comments!) (old version)
“That’s Maryford.”
“How is it? It looks pretty good, right?”
Borsalino sat on the boat and pointed at the naval fortress that was lurking on the sea ahead like a giant beast.
It s pretty good.
Luo Yan looked around and took in the entire naval headquarters.
Compared to what I saw in anime in my previous life, the Marine Headquarters in front of me was undoubtedly much more magnificent and domineering.
“After I redeem the bounty, I’ll take you around!”
“Mariford is not only the headquarters of the navy, but also a city.”
There are still many interesting places.
Borsalino was only 36 years old at the time and had not yet been smoothed out by reality.
Compared to the original, he is now less oppressive than Admiral Kizaru and more approachable like the uncle next door.
Especially after the conversation along the way, since both parties are swordsmen, they have many common topics.
This also meant that even though the two met for the first time, their relationship quickly became closer.
“Maybe we can become colleagues in the future.”
A barely perceptible red light flashed in Borsalino’s eyes behind the lenses, as if he had noticed something, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Luo Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, staring straight at Maryford who was getting closer and closer.
Just now, Jianxin Tongming suddenly gave a warning.
This feeling was even stronger than when I met Borsalino before.
In other words, there is a being ahead who is no less powerful than Borsalino, or even stronger.
It s just that although Kenshin Tongming was giving a warning, he didn t convey any information such as murderous intent or malice.
In other words, the other party had no hostility, but his powerful aura attracted Jian Xin Tongming’s attention.
After a while, as the boat docked, Luo Yan also understood why Jianxin Tongming suddenly gave the warning.
The source lies in the two burly men standing on the dock like benchmarks.
A man dressed in a black suit, with a dignified face and wearing a coat of justice.
The other man had an exaggeratedly strong chest and white hair in the shape of a mountain. Like the former, he was wearing a coat of justice.
“Warring States.”
“null.”
A hint of surprise flashed across Luo Yan’s eyes.
In addition to Garp, the two strongest forces of the Marine Headquarters gathered at the dock.
No wonder his sword heart could be so clear and give a warning.
“I’m the headquarters commander, Sora.”
“You must be the great swordsman that Borsalino was talking about!”
“He is indeed a young hero.”
“amazing.”
Kong was also looking at Luo Yan.
Although Borsalino had revealed Luo Yan’s age to him before he came, he was still shocked when he saw the real person.
You are really too young.
“I am the general of this headquarters.”
“Thank you for ridding the navy of this scourge, Shiki.”
Facing a teenager who was much younger than him in age and seniority, Zhan Guo did not put on airs at all. He immediately thanked Luo Yan in person for killing Shi Ji.
“What?”
“Wasn’t the Golden Lion imprisoned in Imperial by Mr. Garp and General Sengoku?”
“Escaped from prison?”
“That boy, he actually killed Shiki!”
You must be kidding!
“That’s the Flying Pirate! A legendary pirate that requires the combined efforts of Admiral Sengoku and Mr. Garp to capture!”
The navy traveling in and out of the inner bay were originally wondering why the marshal and the admiral came to the headquarters together.
Until this moment, they finally understood.
The person who could make the Navy Marshal and the Admiral of the headquarters come to greet him in person was actually a young boy in his early twenties.
What shocked the marines present even more was that the other side actually killed Shi Ji.
“You two are too kind.”
“I just happened to be there.”
“Don’t be afraid of you laughing at me. If the Navy Headquarters hadn’t offered such a high bounty, I wouldn’t necessarily draw my sword even if I met Shiki.”
Facing the repeated praise from the two naval bosses, Luo Yan smiled modestly.
One is a naval marshal.
One is the general of the headquarters.
Since both of them came specially to greet him, he certainly wouldn’t say anything rude.
“If we judge by deeds but not by heart, there is no saint if we judge by heart.”
“No matter what, you killed Shiki and made great contributions to the navy. This is an indisputable fact.”
“As for the bounty, I’ll have someone prepare it for you as soon as possible. In the meantime, why don’t you come to my office and talk?”
This is a brutal pirate world, where do so many saints come from?
Even he himself, wasn’t he a marine obsessed with power?
Otherwise, he would not have chosen to stay in the World Government and serve as the commander-in-chief of the entire army at such an old age.
“Then I will refuse it disrespectfully.”
Faced with Kong’s invitation, Luo Yan did not refuse.
After all, more than 4 billion berries is not a small amount.
“Just leave Shiqi’s body to me.”
Zhan Guo stepped forward and picked up Shi Ji’s body that was placed in the boat.
His red eyes seemed to casually glance at the corpse in front of him, and a trace of horror suddenly arose in his heart.
“Just as Borsalino said.”
“Judging from the battle marks on Shiqi’s body, he only took three sword strikes at most.”
“There is no Haki left in the wound.”
Zhan Guo’s pupils shrank slightly.
Even though he had known about it from Borsalino beforehand, he was still extremely shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
After a brief silence, Sengoku glanced back at Sora seemingly unintentionally.
Seeing this, Kong’s eyes narrowed slightly, then he nodded slightly as if nothing had happened.
He seemed fine and talked with Luo Yan as they walked.
It was the first meeting between the two sides and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
“Prepare for Shiki’s bounty.”
“Also, send Shiki’s body to the science class.”
“I want the most detailed autopsy report possible.”
After the two men walked away, Zhan Guo gave instructions to a vice admiral beside him.
“yes.”
“General Immortal Stone.”
The lieutenant general did not dare to delay and did as he was told immediately.
“Borusalino, what do you think?”
While chasing after Luo Yan and Kong who had already set off, Zhan Guo asked Borsalino beside him.
The other party was not only a great swordsman, but also the first eyewitness and the first person to come into contact with Luo Yan.
Borsalino’s opinion, in his opinion, is particularly important.
“As strong as a monster.”
“In Brother Luo Yan, I seem to see the pinnacle of swordsmanship.”
Whether it was “so scary” or “as strong as a monster”, these were Borsalino’s usual catchphrases, but when they came out of his mouth at this moment, there was not a trace of sarcasm, only undisguised solemnity.
“Compared to Djorakol Mihawk?”
Zhan Guo said a name.
This is also the man currently recognized as the closest to the world’s most powerful swordsman.
The reason why it is close is that Joracol Mihawk is currently lacking a black sword and has not yet refined the night into the supreme black sword.
After all, there is a gap of 22 years between now and the original time.
“Mr. Sengoku.”
“I’ll tell you this.”
“If you don’t practice swordplay, seeing Brother Luo Yan is like looking at the moon in a well; if you practice swordplay, seeing him is like a mayfly looking at the sky.”
The image of Luo Yan’s third sword that killed Shiki appeared in Borsalino’s mind. He turned to look at Zhan Guo and spoke word by word.
Although he did not directly say who was better in swordsmanship between Luo Yan and Joracle Mihawk, his words were already the best answer.
Chapter 10: Exceptional Appointment! Admiral of the Navy (Please give flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old Version)
“If you practice swordsmanship, will seeing Luo Yan be like a mayfly seeing the sky?”
Zhan Guo was horrified and moved.
It’s not just scholars who look down on each other, swordsmen are the same.
To receive such a high evaluation from Borsalino, who is also a great swordsman and one of the monsters of the navy, one can imagine how superb Luo Yan’s swordsmanship is.
Not only Sengoku was moved, but Sora, who was walking in front, also had red flashes in his eyes, as if he heard the conversation between Sengoku and Borsalino.
At this moment, Marshal Kong, who was dubbed “Steel Bone”, was also slightly moved.
“Borsalino, what did he see?”
“How good must a person’s swordsmanship be to be admired so highly by Borsalino, a guy who seems easy-going but actually has a proud character.”
While Kong was shocked, he also became very curious about Luo Yan’s swordsmanship.
As a naval marshal who has been active since the time of Rocks, he has seen countless heroes and kings.
There are very few things that can move him.
There are only a few things that can make him curious.
Several people followed one after another and quickly climbed up the naval building and came to the marshal’s office.
“Please take a seat.”
After entering the room, Kong gestured to Luo Yan to do as he pleased.
Luo Yan took a casual glance and saw that the table in front of the sofa was already filled with various snacks and tea.
“It happened suddenly, and I don’t know your taste, so I asked someone to prepare some snacks of various styles.”
His words revealed the extremely high level of treatment given to Luo Yan.
You re welcome.
Facing Kong’s courtesy, Luo Yan smiled calmly, looking unperturbed by the honor or disgrace.
He knew very well that this courtesy was earned with his sword, and was not an empty gift.
If Shi Ji hadn’t been killed, he wouldn’t even be able to step into the door of the Marshal’s office.
“Although I am a naval admiral, I am also a soldier.”
“You always speak and act directly, so I won’t beat around the bush with you.”
The polite words were already said on the way back to the Marshal’s office. After Sora took his seat, he got straight to the point:
“I heard Borsalino mention that you have a certain recognition of our navy, and our navy also welcomes people with aspirations like you.”
“so.”
“On behalf of our headquarters, I would like to formally invite you to join the navy and defend justice in the world together.”
He invited Luo Yan.
“Marshal Kong, since you said that, you should have heard from Borsalino about the conditions for me to join the navy.”
Luo Yan directly threw the question back.
“I know.”
“Admiral.”
“It’s just that since the establishment of the navy, there has never been a precedent of appointing a navy admiral out of turn.”
Sora looked embarrassed.
“The so-called rules are for those who cannot survive without following the rules.”
“What do you think?”
Luo Yan smiled.
Kong glanced at the pair of supreme swords on Luo Yan’s waist.
With just his swordsmanship, he was able to kill Shiki in three strikes using an ordinary longsword.
Now I have a pair of supreme swords.
It is conceivable that Luo Yan’s sword will become even sharper.
Thinking of this, even Kong, who had seen many heroes and kings, had to admit that the boy in front of him was qualified to say such words.
“Excuse me.”
“You, don’t know how to use Armament Haki!”
Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Zhan Guo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
His words not only broke the deadlock, but also attracted everyone’s attention.
Borsalino, who was originally sipping tea, immediately looked up and looked at Luo Yan in surprise.
Kong stared at Luo Yan intently.
How could a man who is an expert in swordsmanship not have mastered Haki?
But these words came from Zhan Guo’s mouth, which made him doubt it.
“Not only Armament Haki, I also don’t know Observation Haki or Conqueror Haki.”
Luo Yan looked at Zhan Guo deeply and thought to himself.
He is indeed a naval admiral who is said to possess the wisdom of Buddha.
I unexpectedly discovered this truth when we met for the first time.
“Really?”
Seeing Luo Yan admit it frankly, Kong and Borsalino were even more surprised.
Especially emptiness.
He was shocked and immediately remembered what Zhan Guo had said to him before he went out to greet Luo Yan.
“Why not meet Luo Yan first before making a decision.”
Maybe you ll see a different landscape and have a different perspective.
At first, Kong didn’t understand, but now he is fully aware.
A young man who doesn’t know how to be domineering has already reached the top. What if he becomes domineering?
What if he possesses the domineering Haki that only one person among millions of people possesses?
How strong will this be?
At least it’s the Navy version of Rocks D. Gibeck!
After learning that Luo Yan was not domineering, Kong not only did not look down on him, but instead had the urge to break the unprecedented precedent of the navy for Luo Yan alone.
Just for the man in front of me, I ll make an exception.
In exchange for the other party’s joining, he offered the rank of general.
“I originally thought that when he killed Shiki, he just didn’t use Armament Haki, but I didn’t expect that he didn’t even use Observation Haki.”
“You are really scary!”
Borsalino was amazed.
He knew very well that when two sides confronted each other, one of them did not know Haki, while the other was proficient in Observation Haki and Armament Haki, in this situation, the latter would have a huge advantage in the battle.
But what about Luo Yan?
Even without the ability to use Haki, he was still able to kill Shiki with three swords even though he had pulled out the rudder and was using his Observation Haki and Armament Haki.
This kind of swordsmanship has already surpassed the pinnacle of perfection.
He should be a master of swordsmanship.
“Luo Yan, now that we have spoken out, I might as well tell you a few words from the heart.”
“The reason why the Navy has never had a precedent of appointing an admiral in an exceptional manner is, in addition to military merit and seniority, there is another crucial reason.”
“The Admiral of this headquarters is not only the highest fighting force of the Navy, but also the highest fighting force of the World Government.”
“If an active admiral were to be defeated, it would cause irreparable damage to the prestige of the navy and the government.”
Sora hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak frankly:
“Therefore, every general needs to go through a lot of screening and testing.”
“Fighting ability, military achievements, experience, prestige, and unwavering justice are all indispensable.”
“Only in this way can the admiral’s deterrent power last forever, and only in this way can he serve as the highest fighting force of the navy and the government and shock the world.”
“For example, Borsalino, who is sitting next to you, has long possessed the fighting power of a general of this department, but because he lacks sufficient military merit, he can only serve as a candidate for general.”
Having said this, Kong paused for a moment before continuing.
“The Navy Headquarters can make an exception for you and directly appoint you as the Admiral of the Navy.”
“But I have a request.”
“That means you need to go to the Naval Academy for one year of further study.”
“Until you learn to use Haki.”
After repeated deliberation and consideration, Kong finally decided to make an exception for Luo Yan.
There is no shortage of naval officers with the qualifications of admirals in this headquarters.
There are also two navy officers with king qualities in the headquarters.
However, there is no other young swordsman as skilled in swordsmanship as Luo Yan in our department.
In his opinion, Luo Yan’s swordsmanship, aptitude, and age were worth making an exception for him.
Just as the other party said just now.
The so-called rules are prepared for those who cannot survive without following the rules.
And Luo Yan himself stands at the end of the laws of the pirate world.
Chapter 11: The way of the sword is invincible, why do we need to borrow the color of armed forces? (Please give flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
“Exceptional appointment, Admiral of the Navy.”
You really did it!
Seeing that Kong made an exception for Luo Yan alone, Borsalino was shocked.
I worked hard for so many years and finally became a candidate for general.
Before he joined the Marine Headquarters, Marshal Kong invited him to join the rank of general.
If there was any jealousy, Borsalino certainly didn’t have it.
His mind and tolerance did not allow him to feel jealous.
But there is still some envy and admiration.
“Once Sakaski and Kuzan find out, they won’t be able to handle this!”
There was a hint of amusement in Borsalino’s eyes.
In order to erase the word “substitute” as soon as possible.
Sakaski went to suppress the New World. He would either go into battle with the BIGMOM Pirates today or fight Kaido tomorrow.
Kuzan rides a bicycle and captures pirates on the seven routes of the Grand Line.
Now things are different.
Luo Yan directly sent a general from heaven.
He reached the top in one step, surpassing the rank of lieutenant, colonel, brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general and general candidate.
“As expected of Marshal Kong.”
“Such courage is not something that an ordinary marshal can possess!”
When Sengoku saw that Kong was willing to make an exception for Luo Yan, setting a precedent that had never been done before in the Marine Headquarters, he couldn’t help but admire his courage.
After all, the Navy Headquarters is not a one-man show.
It is not an easy task to convince arrogant old stubborn people like the Five Elders.
Just when everyone was envious and amazed at Luo Yan’s situation, a voice suddenly echoed in the Marshal’s office.
“You refuse?”
Faced with Luo Yan’s rejection, Kong was stunned.
Such an honor is unprecedented in the history of the Navy Headquarters.
He thought Luo Yan would agree to it eagerly.
Luo Yan nodded slightly, without any intention of joking.
“Can I know the reason?”
Sora’s face darkened.
He was not angry, but he was puzzled as to why Luo Yan rejected him.
After all, he felt that since he met Luo Yan, everything had been impeccable, whether in terms of courtesy or other aspects.
The other party should have no reason to refuse.
“I have seen Marshal Kong’s sincerity.”
“It’s just about going to the Naval Academy for further studies. Please forgive me for not accepting it.”
With his swordsmanship alone, he has already reached the top of the world. Why does he have to go to the Naval Academy and study hard to become a hegemon?
For example, you can sign in for a kendo ultimate move once a week.
Why would you want to suffer when you can cheat?
Moreover, the income is very low.
In Luo Yan’s opinion, cultivating domineering power for a hundred years is not as good as signing once a week.
Instead of practicing domineering aura, it is better to think about your own sword skills.
“You think there’s no one in the Naval Academy qualified to be your teacher, right?”
“If that’s the case, you can rest assured that I will arrange for a retired general to be your instructor. He has taught three general-level monster students.”
“With his guidance, it won’t take long for you to master Armament Haki.”
“By then, you will be able to master the black sword and become the most powerful swordsman in the world.”
Sora thought for a moment, then tried to speak.
He thought Luo Yan was a young man full of vigor and arrogance.
But true.
If anyone else had the ability to kill Shiki with three swords at the other person’s age, he would not think that anyone could be his teacher.
“Kendo is the path to invincibility, why do we need to borrow the Haki of Armament?”
Luo Yan shook his head and then said something shocking.
“Kendo is an invincible path, why do you need to borrow the Haki of Armament?”
Zhan Guo and Borsalino looked at each other and cheered in their hearts at the same time.
At this moment, they finally understood why Luo Yan was able to master such superb swordsmanship at the young age of twenty.
The young man in front of him might not be incapable of domineering, but he was too disdainful to practice it and put all his attention on studying kendo.
“Luo Yan, after all, I am a little older than you.”
“After all, what I have seen, known, and heard is more than you.”
“Listen to my advice. You can’t become the strongest in the world just by swordsmanship. Only domineering aura can overcome everything.”
Although Kong was also moved by Luo Yan’s dedication to kendo, he didn’t want to see such a rare talent go astray.
Especially this seedling is from the navy.
“I want to try it.”
Luo Yan was unmoved when he heard this.
Seeing this, Kong frowned and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhan Guo who was standing beside him.
“Professional matters should be left to professionals.”
“Isn’t it?”
While Zhan Guo was speaking, he did not forget to glance at Borsalino beside him.
“Well, let me introduce someone to you.”
“After you meet him, if you still insist on your own opinion, then I have nothing to say.”
Kong followed Sengoku’s gaze and was startled when he saw that his eyes were fixed on Borsalino, but then he suddenly realized what was going on.
Speaking of students who are not good at one subject well, Luo Yan is not the only one in the Navy Headquarters.
There is only one person sitting in the office.
That was Borsalino.
If Luo Yan is good at swordsmanship, then Borsalno is good at the flash fruit.
To this end, Zefa took great pains and put in a lot of thought, and finally managed to get the other party to devote some of his attention to domineering.
The problems of students with poor performance in certain subjects must be solved by famous teachers.
Luo Yan nodded without comment.
No matter who he meets, his ideas are unshakable.
Even if someone’s domineering aura can surpass one’s own kendo skills.
But the question is, is there?
Luo Yan is full of confidence in his weekly kendo moves.
The more weekly lottery draws he makes, the more kendo skills he gets, and the stronger his swordsmanship becomes.
Why bother practicing being domineering?
As for refining the black knife.
To borrow a phrase from Djorakol Mihawk.
As a swordsman, leaving a notch on the sword is a shame, but is there anyone in the world of pirates who can leave a notch on their sword?
As for refining the black sword, it will increase the output.
Luo Yan really doesn’t lack the damage from the black knife.
Giving a lot and gaining little may not necessarily lead to any gain.
He really didn’t want to endure this kind of suffering.
After all, not everyone is called Wang Luffy, and practicing Haki is like playing.
Let’s take a step back.
The Navy does not have a famous teacher like Teacher Kai who can produce Ryuo with one stick, Hachan with two sticks, and Awakening with three sticks.
“Marshal Kong, why don’t you let me go?”
Sora picked up the Den Den Mushi and was about to make a call when Sengoku stood up from the sofa.
After hearing this, Sora nodded and put down the Den Den Mushi in his hand.
He was assured of Zhan Guo’s work.
If the other party goes there in person, Zefa can also know Luo Yan’s situation in advance, and then on the way to the Marshal’s office, he can prepare courses to correct students with poor academic performance.
Chapter 12: The Battle of Sword Qi! Only the Way of the Sword is Above Everything (Please give flowers, collect, and comment!) (Old Version)
“Now there’s something interesting to watch.”
Borsalino knew at a glance that Sengoku and Kong were planning to let Zephyr take action personally, and thinking of his own painful time in the Naval Academy, a hint of mockery and anticipation appeared on his face.
At that time, I was disciplined by Zefa a lot.
To put it in Zefa’s words.
If you don’t understand the principle of the supremacy of hegemony, then I also know a little bit about fighting.
that’s all.
With Zephyr’s help and care, Borsalino successfully graduated from the Naval Academy a year later and learned all the Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
Not only does he have the Armament Haki, he also has the ability to harden entanglement, flow release, and internal destruction. His Observation Haki can almost foresee the future.
But is this talent development program really suitable for Luo Yan?
“Teacher Zefa.”
“You’ve met your nemesis this time!”
Borsalino pinched his chin, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
At that time, the gap in strength between me and Zefa who had just retired was too big, so I could only passively learn Haki.
But Luo Yan is not like that.
Reach the top with swordsmanship alone.
Can Zefa really discipline such a great swordsman?
Not long after Zhan Guo left, the tightly closed door of the marshal’s office was pushed open again.
Returning with him was a middle-aged man with purple hair, wearing sunglasses, with a serious expression and a righteous look.
“My name is Zefa.”
“Chief Instructor of the Naval Academy.”
“You are Luo Yan, a student with only one subject like Borsalino, right?”
After entering the door, Zefa sat opposite Luo Yan with a majestic posture.
“A student who is partial to certain subject?”
“Hehehe! Instructor Zefa, I’ll call you that!”
“I don’t think I’m what you call a one-sided student.”
Luo Yan was not angry when he heard this.
In the final analysis, Kong specifically summoned Zephyr just to make himself pay attention to Haki and learn how to use it.
Since it was well-intentioned, he certainly would not get angry because of different opinions and perceptions.
“If you don’t cultivate Haki and only practice swordsmanship, what else can you do if not partiality?”
“You know, in today’s world, among those who stand at the top of the world, there are capable people, swordsmen, and people with strong physical skills, but without exception, they are all masters who are proficient in domineering.”
“Swordsmanship, physical skills, and fruit abilities are all just serving the purpose of Haki.”
“In this cruel world of pirates, you may not know swordsmanship, you may not know physical skills, you may not be a fruit ability user, but you must know Haki.”
“Because domineering is the passport to the strong.”
Zefa grinned, then his expression was serious and his tone was unquestionable:
“Take the world’s most powerful swordsman, who stands at the pinnacle of swordsmanship.”
“The standard for judging whether a swordsman is the strongest in the world is not how good his swordsmanship is, but whether he has forged a black sword himself.”
“The so-called black knife is the product of domineering power.”
“So, do you understand?”
“The sword art is nothing more than a vassal of domineering power, a tool used to carry domineering power.”
“That’s all.”
Zefa said word by word.
“Teacher Zefa, you are still so strict!”
Before Luo Yan said anything, Borsalino was a little dissatisfied.
“The fruit ability is no exception.”
Zefa turned and looked at Borsalino.
Borsalino opened his mouth, but fell silent.
He is no longer the student he was at the Naval Academy.
After graduation.
He had witnessed Gol D. Roger’s domineering domineering aura that surpassed everything, Edward Newgate who was proficient in the three colors of domineering aura and the ability of fruits, and Garp’s domineering iron fist that was like a missile.
These monsters who stand at the pinnacle of pirates and the navy are all powerful and domineering without exception.
Even Edward Newgate, who ate the most powerful superhuman Tremor-Tremor Fruit, is no exception.
Anyone who doesn’t know how to be domineering will never be able to reach the top of the world.
This is the case with the three legendary pirate worlds.
The same is true for the Four Emperors.
Even the three generals were no exception.
That s because I haven t been here.
Just when Borsalino was speechless, Luo Yan said lightly.
“That’s because you haven’t met me.”
“Before meeting me, Borsalino was just like you now, thinking that he could become an admiral of the navy just by relying on the Flash Fruit.”
“But after meeting me, the only thing that remained tough in Borsalino’s body was his mouth.”
Zefa directly brought out his most successful case of correcting a student with poor academic performance.
Luo Yan chuckled and said nothing.
“You believe that swordsmanship is above all else, but I believe that domineering power is above all else.”
“Let’s just speak with facts.”
As the best teacher in the navy, having trained such outstanding students as the Three Natural Admirals, Zefa has extensive experience in cultivating talents.
He knew very well that the Luo Yan in front of him was much stronger than Borsalino, the poor student back then.
Only by using facts can we make the other party realize the truth.
Otherwise, even if Yim said it, Luo Yan would not admit it.
“What do you mean?”
Luo Yan became interested after hearing this.
“Since Marshal Kong has already agreed to make an exception for you once, there’s no need to make an exception for you a second time.”
“Use your sword to tell the Navy Headquarters.”
“Only swordsmanship can overcome everything, including domineering.”
Zefa’s tiger eyes opened, bursting out with a hint of heat.
For him, who has retired and is now serving as the chief instructor, it is a great honor for him to personally teach a great swordsman and correct his wrong perceptions.
It is undoubtedly a matter of great pride.
“If you can do this, the Navy Headquarters will make an exception for you once more.”
“No need to go to the Naval Academy for further studies, and no need to practice Haki.”
“From now on, you are the admiral of the headquarters.”
Zefa stood up from the sofa, his voice revealing a fiery fighting spirit.
If something can’t be explained, use your fists to make it happen.
This is the best way to correct students who have poor academic performance.
After hearing this, Luo Yan did not say anything, but looked into the air.
No matter what Zefa says, it will be of no use.
If Kong doesn’t nod, it will be of no use.
“Why not just do as Zefa said.”
Kong did not make the decision directly, but instead asked for Luo Yan’s opinion.
After all, he did not forget one fact.
It was not the Navy Headquarters that chose Luo Yan, but Luo Yan who chose the Navy Headquarters.
Therefore, he must carefully consider the other party’s opinion.
If Luo Yan refuses, then we can only find another compromise plan.
After all, the Navy Headquarters is now recruiting talents, not forcing them to do anything, let alone offending them.
“I can see the legendary Black Arm.”
“It’s my pleasure.”
Luo Yan nodded happily.
Although the Navy Headquarters was eager for talent, and Kong and Sengoku had taken great pains to get him to join the Navy, even if he was really appointed as an admiral as an exception, he would still need to have impressive combat records if he wanted to gain a foothold among the tens of millions of navy men.
At this time, Zefa came to the door on his own initiative, which was simply a godsend.
Just right.
He also wanted to test his sword to see if he could kill General Black Arm.
Chapter 13: I can completely suppress your domineering attitude with my sword (Please give me flowers, collections, and comments!) (Old version)
Whether it is the sword-fighting ultimate skill obtained from the weekly lottery or the two supreme swords that have just been obtained, a sword-testing stone of sufficient weight is needed.
Zefa, who had just retired, had not yet suffered from asthma and had not lost his arm, was undoubtedly this sword-testing stone.
Faced with Zefa’s invitation to fight, Luo Yan of course accepted the challenge.
“Let’s go somewhere else!”
After Zefa finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the marshal’s office.
Seeing this, Luo Yan stood up and followed.
“really.”
“Teacher Zefa is still the same.”
“I want to push Brother Luo Yan to his limit in actual combat, to a situation where he cannot be broken by swordsmanship alone and must awaken his domineering aura to deal with it, and then force Brother Luo Yan to master his domineering aura.”
Borsalino saw this scene and shook his head secretly.
He was so familiar with Zefa’s tricks that he couldn’t be more familiar with them.
Back when he was in the Naval Academy, Zephyr used this method to correct his perception that the power of his fruit was supreme.
Even though he still believes that the Flash Fruit is above all else, through repeated actual combat with Zephyr, he has still mastered the swordsmanship of a great swordsman, as well as physical skills comparable to Garp, as well as top-level armament and observation Haki.
The three natural generals are all hexagonal monsters who are proficient in observation Haki, armament Haki, fists, swords, and legs.
“When it comes to students who are not good at one subject, it’s still Zefa who has to be the one.”
Sora glanced at Borsalino, a smile on his face.
He also knew how Zefa taught this student with only one subject in the past.
Zhan Guo on the side remained silent.
Sora said as they walked.
Even as a naval marshal, he didn’t want to miss the fight between Luo Yan and Zefa.
“I wonder, can Zefa’s fist really suppress Luo Yan’s sword?”
Zhan Guo expressed his opinion.
The Luo Yan in front of him was not the Borsalino when he just entered school.
Zefa was able to suppress Borsalino during his military school days, but he may not be able to suppress Luo Yan.
“It should be fine.”
“Although Zefa has retired for many years, his strength is still not much worse than before.”
“It is true that Luo Yan is a man of extraordinary talent, but how can he defeat Zefa with just swordsmanship?”
When Kong heard this, the smile on his face froze slightly, but he immediately spoke with confidence.
A man who could become an admiral of the navy in the Rocks era solely by relying on his domineering aura and physical skills, even if his strength is not as good as the three natural admirals of this session, is still a hero standing at the pinnacle of the navy.
To suppress a great swordsman who doesn’t have any domineering power, all you need is hands.
“I hope so!”
Zhan Guo opened his mouth, but in the end he only said this in his heart.
After leaving the marshal’s office, several people walked one after another and soon arrived at the empty naval square.
Seeing so many important figures coming, the square was surrounded by navy troops.
There are lieutenant generals, major generals, and many colonels.
After realizing that Zefa was going to fight with Luo Yan, many navy officers stood on tiptoe, wanting to witness this visual feast.
“There are three types of domineering.”
“Do you need me to explain it to you?”
“Lest you be defeated by the domineering spirit for no apparent reason.”
Zefa stood firmly on his feet, like a crouching dragon lying on a hill, with a heavy and steady aura like a mountain lingering around him.
“No need.”
“Instructor Zefa.”
“I can completely suppress your domineering attitude with my sword.”
Luo Yan put one hand in his pocket, looking calm and composed.
“I will help you correct your thoughts one by one.”
“Just like Borsalino did back then.”
Zefa was not angry when he heard this.
Having taught for many years, he has plenty of experience and patience when dealing with students who are not good at certain subjects.
“Please, Instructor Zefa.”
Luo Yan chuckled calmly and did not refute.
The sword speaks more convincingly than the tongue.
“This is Armament Haki!”
Zefa raised his foot and stepped on the ground. The armed Haki in his body flowed through his limbs and bones like a flood, and finally wrapped around his hands, hardening from his fists to his shoulders.
“It can evolve offense and defense.”
“Attack, nothing can break through.”
“Defense, unbreakable.”
“Even if you are a great swordsman who is famous for his offensive skills, you can’t do anything without Armament Haki.”
Zefa stomped his feet on the ground, breaking through the sound barrier like a cannonball, making a whistling sound, and carrying with him a sharp wave of air visible to the naked eye. He crossed the distance between him and Luo Yan at lightning speed, and flashed behind him as if he were teleported.
“Observation color.”
“Can sense the atmosphere, predict and avoid danger.”
“Without your Observation Haki, how can you keep up with my speed?”
Zefa’s voice penetrated Luo Yan’s ears, but faster than the sound was his terrifying iron fist wrapped in armed color domineering.
A burst of sword light suddenly burst out, like a lightning across the sky, shooting out from the scabbard hanging on Luo Yan’s waist.
Just when Zefa’s domineering iron fist was about to hit Luo Yan’s back, Ying Ju drew the sword by himself without anyone holding the hilt, and rushed behind Luo Yan like a dragon, meeting Zefa’s domineering iron fist.
As the sword and fist collided, a sharp and heavy air wave instantly spread out, cutting the thick floor covering the naval bureaucracy into pieces, and blowing up thousands of broken bricks that floated in the air for a long time without falling.
Kong, who was standing at the edge of the naval bureaucracy, saw this scene and his face suddenly changed in shock.
The moment he saw Zefa throwing a punch, he thought that Luo Yan would not be able to keep up with Zefa’s movement and punching speed, and would be taught a lesson because he did not know how to use his Observation Haki.
I never thought that it was blocked.
Moreover, he blocked Zefa’s punch in a way that was completely beyond his understanding.
“Without holding the sword, the sword actually came out of the sheath by itself?”
Seeing this, Borsalino, a great swordsman, felt his three views shattered, and the scene before him forced open a door to a new world.
Before this moment, he had never imagined that swordsmanship could accomplish such a thing.
“His swordsmanship is truly divine.”
Unlike Sora who was full of confidence in Zephyr, he had an idea before the two of them fought.
That is Luo Yan’s sword, which will allow him to see the pinnacle of kendo.
That is Luo Yan’s sword, which can make the black-armed general’s fist powerless.
As expected.
With one hand, he flew across the air with a sword, blocking Zefa’s iron fist from entering the door, which stunned him and every marine present.
“How did he do that?”
“Don’t hold the sword, just let it defend itself.”
“Could it be that he is a fruit ability user?”
It s possible!
The uninformed onlookers all thought that Luo Yan’s sword-controlling method was the ability of a devil fruit.
Only that small group of big guys standing at the top of the navy.
Kong, Sengoku, and Borsalino, as well as Zephyr who fought against Luo Yan.
They all knew that Luo Yan was not a person with special abilities, and he didn’t even have the power of dominance.
He is a swordsman who is pure to the extreme.
Chapter 14: Borrowing the Navy’s Ten Thousand Swords to Kill the Black Arm General (Please give me flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
“To be honest.”
“You really taught me a lesson.”
“Until today, I didn’t know swordsmanship could reach this level.”
Zefa looked at Sakura Ju who was floating in front of him and slashing at his fist, and he was slightly moved.
“It is an honor to teach Instructor Zefa a lesson.”
Luo Yan had his back to Zefa, his right hand still in his trouser pocket, but his Ying Shi seemed to have life and wisdom, protecting his master on his own.
Not even a wisp of fist wind could pass through the edge of Ying Ju’s sword and spread in front of him.
“I admit that your swordsmanship is beyond my expectations.”
“only.”
“A sword without even the aura of dominance can’t even break my skin.”
As Zefa spoke, his fist collided with Sakura Ju’s, and the tremendous fist force and surging domineering aura burst out together, about to form a domineering impact as heavy as a mountain.
A flash of sword light suddenly appeared and continued to expand in Zefa’s pupils.
Zefa, who originally wanted to crush Luo Yan and his sword with absolute dominance, did not hesitate at all. He stepped back and distanced himself a hundred meters like an arrow.
As he stepped back, a sword beam pierced through the place where he had been standing like lightning.
If Zefa had retreated a little slower, he would have been pierced through by the sudden sword light.
“You can actually wield two swords at the same time?”
After Zefa steadied himself, his eyes fell on Ying Ju and Mu Ku, who were floating beside Luo Yan like two dragons.
This scene not only shocked him, but also the navy who were watching was caught off guard.
Originally, it was thought that it was incredible that Luo Yan could control Ying Shi remotely, but unexpectedly, controlling the sword Ying Shi was not Luo Yan’s limit, and he could also control Mu Ku remotely at the same time.
“Just two?”
Facing Zefa’s surprise, Luo Yan raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a playful arc.
Without waiting for the other party to react, he pulled out his hand from his trouser pocket for the first time, made a sword finger, and pointed it at the sky.
“Borrow your sword for use.”
Clang clang clang
In an instant, the sound of thousands of swords chirped like thousands of birds, first sounding in the Navy Square, and then spreading to the Navy Headquarters at an astonishing speed.
“My sword!”
“What’s going on?”
“Flew away suddenly?”
“That’s the direction of Navy Square!”
The navy men who were watching the fight between Luo Yan and Zefa were all shocked.
This was because all the long swords hanging at their waists were unsheathed, shot out from the scabbards like arrows, and hovered in the sky above the Navy Square like flying birds.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of naval swordsmen were already stationed right above Luo Yan.
That s not all.
Further away from the Navy Square, there are navy officers working in the building, navy officers on guard duty, and navy officers on patrol.
From officers to lieutenants, they first felt the clanging of swords and sabers at their waists, and then they were unsheathed one after another, like a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, and flew towards the Navy Square.
In an instant, tens of thousands of swords filled the void, sometimes like a surging river, sometimes like a flying dragon in the sky, overlooking the earth.
Just the sight of tens of thousands of swords lined up in the void, and the naturally fierce sword energy emanating from them, was enough to horrify all the witnesses.
Even as strong as Sengoku, Kong, and Borsalino, marshals and admirals who stood at the pinnacle of the navy, could smell the scent of danger from the sharp sword river entrenched in the sky.
What s more, it was Zefa who was facing thousands of swords.
“One man controls ten thousand swords!”
“Is this really something that can be done with swordsmanship?”
Zefa looked around the sky and saw the swords pointing at him. His face turned pale and he was sweating profusely.
Having retired for many years, he once again felt the long-lost pressure and danger.
Obviously, none of the swords lined up in front of him were surrounded by domineering aura, but when they filled the sky, they made him feel creepy.
What made Zefa even more frustrated and depressed was that these swords were the navy’s swords.
And nine out of ten owners of these swords were students he had taught.
Pointed at by the swords of his own students and the swords of the navy.
This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.
“Today I will borrow the navy’s ten thousand swords to kill you, the black-armed admiral.”
Luo Yan waved his arm.
hold head high–
The sound of thousands of swords rang out at the same time, like the roar of dragons and tigers, resounding through the sky.
call out–
Following the direction of Luo Yan’s sword, thousands of swords entrenched in the void responded one after another, like the Yangtze River, carrying the divine sword that could tear the sky and split the earth, raising rolling and fierce waves of air, and pouring down towards Zefa below.
Facing the sharp sword river, Zefa did not dare to be negligent, and even the idea of supremacy in his heart was shaken, but his body movements did not slow down at all.
The armed color domineering aura in the body washed over the limbs and bones like running water, wrapping around the arms as if they were coated with a layer of black metal.
He did not retreat a single step, his spine swinging like a dragon.
Step forward, raise your arms, and clench your fists.
The punch was like a heavy artillery, compressing the air in front to the limit, forming ripples like the surface of a lake.
roar–
Along with the dull and heavy sound of cannon fire, a punch force mixed with powerful armed color domineering burst out from the right fist and directly met the sweeping sword river.
On one side is a vast river of swords made up of tens of thousands of swords from the navy.
On one side is the domineering fist power released by the black-armed general.
Sword and fist.
Sword energy and impact.
As the two forces converged in the Navy Square, there was an instant explosion with thunderous noises that shook the sky.
The sound was so loud that it produced a wave of sound waves visible to the naked eye, shattering the square into cracks and holes. Large amounts of rubble and bricks rose from the ground, and then could not bear the weight in the void and were pierced by the sound waves.
A storm of sword energy as heavy as a mountain yet sharp as a monstrous sword spread out in all directions, leaving behind a criss-crossing series of cracks about ten meters deep in the Navy Square.
Waves of smoke and dust rose from the cracks, lingering in the void, forming a huge smoke and dust tornado that lasted for a long time.
However, the struggle between Luo Yan and Zefa is still going on.
As the domineering aura and sword energy continued to clash, the long swords surging in the front cried out in grief, and cracks appeared on the sword bodies.
Even though Luo Yan controlled these standard naval weapons with the Wanjian Guizong, making them burst out with a sharpness that they should not have, in essence, these were just ordinary weapons, neither famous swords nor black swords.
Under the impact of Zefa’s powerful domineering aura, the swords could not withstand it.
First it broke apart, then it shattered, turning into iron flakes all over the sky, falling like a meteor shower.
Every time a sword shattered in the vast river of swords, more swords would come from behind to take its place.
Every time a sword shattered in the sword river, Zefa, who was punching, would involuntarily take a step back.
As time went by, the violent clash between Jianhe and Haki continued to escalate. A large number of swords exploded in the sky and fell down, while Zefa also retreated rapidly like a speeding car.
When he was pressed down by the Jianhe River and rolled all the way to the edge of the Naval Square, his feet actually left the ground.
Under the incredulous gazes of many navy men, the raging sword river opened its bloody mouth like a giant dragon and swallowed it in one gulp.
Chapter 15: The Sword River Soars to the Sky, Overwhelms Zefa (Please give me flowers, please add me to your collection, please give me comments!) (Old version)
The sword energy is released.
The slashing attacks surged.
Zefa was like a cannonball, swept away and suppressed by the rushing sword river, flying backwards across the sky, and like a kite with a broken string, crashed into the naval fortress that had stood in Maryford for who knows how many years.
With Zefa as the center, shocking lines extend across the naval fortress like a winding and coiled giant python, until they cover most of the fortress.
Heavy boulders weighing tons each fell off the fortress walls and fell to the ground like meteorites.
As for Zefa.
At the moment the fortress collapsed, the sword river pressed against his face and body, and he was completely submerged in the boundless sword energy.
“Zefa!”
When Kong saw this, his face turned pale with shock and he cried out in surprise.
Even Zhan Guo, who had doubted from the beginning whether Zefa could suppress Luo Yan, was so shocked that his pupils constricted and his heart was filled with shock when he saw that his old friend was completely suppressed by Luo Yan with the help of the Navy’s Ten Thousand Swords and the dense river of swords in just one encounter.
Indeed.
He believed that Zefa could not suppress Luo Yan, but at the same time, he also believed that Luo Yan could not suppress Zefa.
The most likely outcome of this battle of concepts between swordsmanship and domineering is that the two sides are evenly matched.
I never thought that this was not the case at all.
The former great general Hei Wan was knocked away by Luo Yan with just a flick of his finger.
Even the fortress building that was as majestic as Hulao Pass at the headquarters was riddled with holes and was on the verge of collapse after being washed away by the Jian River.
“Your way of doing things is outdated.”
“Maybe I can’t become a marine admiral with just the Flash Fruit, but Brother Luo Yan can definitely become the strongest with just swordsmanship.”
When Borsalino saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, he felt like he was guzzling a bottle of ice-cold cola after sweating profusely under the scorching sun.
Comfortable and heart-warming.
When he was in the Naval Academy, he was often beaten up by Zefa in the name of teaching.
Although he is grateful for Zephyr’s teachings in his heart, otherwise there would not be Kizaru who is better than his teacher today.
But no matter how grateful he was, Borsalino still felt great when he saw Zephyr, who had always disagreed with him, being beaten by Luo Yan using the Navy’s Ten Thousand Swords.
“This battle was initiated by Instructor Zefa.”
“You can’t deduct the money for repairing the headquarters from my bounty.”
After suppressing Zefa with his sword, the first thing Luo Yan noticed was that the noise he had made was too loud, and he couldn’t help but worry about his own small treasury.
Although Shiqi’s bounty was very high, he crushed a naval square and split half of a naval fortress. Given the purchasing power of Berry and its depreciation rate, if he had to pay for the repairs himself, the money would definitely be severely reduced in the end.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
This was the first time that Luo Yan had used Wanjian Guizong since he signed in, and he had no idea of its power.
In addition, the opponent is the Black Arm General, not the broken-armed asthmatic Zefa. Out of respect for Zefa, it is naturally impossible to hold back.
“Don’t worry, I won’t deduct your money.”
When Kong heard this, he finally reacted and his old face suddenly turned dark.
Repairing the fortress and the square is a huge expense, but as Luo Yan said, this battle was initiated by Zefa.
He couldn’t possibly ask Luo Yan for repair money.
“The Navy can recruit the greatest swordsman in history. It is worth it even if it destroys the entire Mariford.”
Kong could only say this to himself in his heart.
Although Maryford is the headquarters of the navy, it is just a building.
If it’s broken, it can be repaired.
At worst, we can apply for funding from the world government.
Anyway, the thing that the Five Elder Stars have the most is Berry.
But if you miss out on a great swordsman like Luo Yan, who is unprecedented in history, you really miss out.
“Teacher Zefa was suppressed!”
“Did you see that?”
“That boy didn’t use Haki!”
What a joke!
“He was able to suppress Zephyr-sensei with just his swordsmanship.”
At this time, the surrounding navy officers also recovered from their shock.
Many of them were taught by Zefa, so they are very clear about how powerful their teacher is.
That is exactly the case.
The moment they saw Zefa being submerged in the sword river, they became even more horrified.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the collapsed ruins of the fortress.
Formed by a large amount of construction waste, the stone pestle that looks like a small hill seems to have a bomb exploding in it.
The heavy rock pile was shattered into countless pieces, which were swept away by the air wave and shot to the surroundings.
The buried Zefa walked out again.
After being struck by thousands of swords just now, the navy coat he was wearing had been dismembered and chopped into pieces.
All the clothes on his body were covered with dense red lines.
Every red line was seeping with sticky blood.
Zefa, who had boasted not long ago that Luo Yan had no domineering power and could not even break his own skin with just swordsmanship, was now broken in defense.
He was slashed by countless swords, leaving countless cuts.
Zefa reached out and touched the bloody wound on his body.
It’s been a long time since I last felt this pain, and the burning pain erodes my nerves.
This is the first time he has suffered such a serious injury since his retirement.
“I really underestimated you.”
Zefa’s gaze crossed the combination of the fortress and the square, and his red eyes fixed on Luo Yan.
He took a step, and like spreading wings, a trail of afterimages was left in the sky.
In a flash, he rushed back to the square from the ruins of the fortress and landed opposite Luo Yan again.
“That’s enough.”
“Unless you want the Navy Headquarters to be destroyed by us.”
After all, this is where he will work in the future, and Luo Yan doesn’t want to raze the Navy Headquarters to the ground on his first day at work.
“I just finished warming up!”
“If I can correct your misconceptions, the Navy Headquarters will be shattered.”
Zefa grinned fiercely, his whole body emitting overwhelming domineering aura.
Being chopped all over by Wan Jian Gui Zong and bleeding profusely, instead of reducing his aura, it seemed to have awakened a power that had been dormant for many years.
At this moment, he is no longer the instructor Zefa of the Naval Academy, but the black-armed admiral of the Marine Headquarters.
“You are really stubborn!”
Luo Yan shook his head, a trace of helplessness on his face.
Or say.
This is the inherent perception of the pirate world!
It’s not just Admiral Zephyr, the same is true for the Four Emperors Kaido.
All the strong people who stand at the top of the world, whether they are swordsmen, people with special abilities, or masters of physical skills, almost all of them agree that only domineering aura can overcome everything.
It should be said that this is the persistence of a teacher.
“I can’t bear to see such a talented and beautiful person go astray.”
Zefa corrected Luo Yan’s words.
“Aren’t you afraid that the Navy Headquarters will be razed to the ground?”
Luo Yan finally understood why Borsalino loved, respected and hated Zefa.
This stubborn old man fought with him not to prove that he was stronger, but to help him transform into a domineering person.
Just like telling Borsalino not to rely too much on the Shine Fruit.
Chapter 16: How can the return of all swords be so inconvenient? (Please give me flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
“If I can use a navy headquarters in exchange for your return to the right path, I think this deal is a great value for money.”
“I think Marshal Kong will understand.”
Zefa clenched his fists, unmoved.
He is an instructor at the Naval Academy and is only responsible for training talents for the navy.
As for the rest, leave it to Sora.
Kong, who was not far away, was so angry that his teeth ached when he heard Zefa say this.
But there is nothing I can do.
Luo Yan’s sword and Zefa’s fist are both the pinnacle of power.
The collision between the two was so fierce that no matter how solidly Maryford was built, it could not withstand the torment from them.
It s a real headache.
Luo Yan looked up into the air and saw that although the other party had an expression of being mad, he did not say anything against it, and it was obvious that he agreed with Zefa’s words.
“You really deserve a headache.”
“That move just now even amazed me.”
“But now that the Ten Thousand Swords are broken, what else can you do?”
Zefa glanced at the sword fragments scattered on the ground.
The previous Ten Thousand Swords Returned to their Origin was when Luo Yan borrowed the Ten Thousand Swords of the Navy and slashed out a mighty river of swords that even ghosts and gods had to retreat from.
Even generals can be injured.
But it is too strong, but it is too wasteful of the sword.
Even the Navy Headquarters could not withstand Luo Yan’s squandering.
Hehehe.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh.
“why are you laughing?”
“Isn’t what I said wrong?”
Zefa frowned.
“It is true that the Ten Thousand Swords were broken.”
Luo Yan looked at Zefa with a half-smile:
“How can the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect be so inconvenient?”
He opened his arms outward, and the air on all sides began to tremble visibly, like a boiling lake, rippling out terrifying waves.
A series of creepy and shrill sword sounds were heard, like the chirping of thousands of birds, echoing throughout the headquarters.
Sau
As the sound of swords rang out, with Luo Yan as the center, a series of lifelike, magical sword auras slowly spread out, like an open fan, forming rows of surrounding and terrifying sword auras.
The sharp edge spread out, making the surrounding air unable to bear it, and it was pierced and made a wailing sound.
Looking at the thousands of sword energies occupying the headquarters square, all the navy who witnessed it with their own eyes were so frightened that their scalps tingled and their hair stood on end.
“You don’t need a sword, but you can use the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin?”
When Zefa saw this, his face changed color and his breathing stagnated.
His Observation Haki was giving him a mad warning, telling him that compared to the soaring sword river that he had released by manipulating the Ten Thousand Swords before, the violent sword energy that was now lingering in the void like a tornado was undoubtedly more terrifying.
“Do you want to continue?”
After the sword energy spread out, Luo Yan seemed like an emperor among swords, and his reputation revealed a murderous aura like that of iron horses and golden weapons.
Zefa took a deep breath, his red eyes were determined.
Anyone who can become an admiral of the navy, especially a hero who becomes an admiral only through domineering aura and physical skills, must have a will as strong as iron.
Even if Luo Yan showed the true intention of Wanjian Guizong, he still firmly believed it.
Domineering above all else.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan said no more, but raised his right arm and waved it forward.
Like a tornado, the sword energy surrounding the body and the void shot out in an instant, like a torrential rain, cutting through the sky.
The speed is so fast and the coverage is so large that Zefa has nowhere to hide and no way to avoid it.
After all, the sword light was as fast as lightning, covering the entire naval square in an instant.
Unless you are a person with special abilities like Borsalino who has eaten the Flash Fruit, there is really no possibility of dodging.
Even using Observation Haki to perceive is useless.
Because the sword energy was as dense as rain, even if one could foresee the future, there would not be any space to move or dodge.
This is Luo Yan s confidence.
There is no need for domineering power, you can overwhelm all enemies in the world with just swordsmanship.
This is what people with abilities are like.
The same is true for the domineering and powerful.
Even other swordsmen are not like this.
Seeing the overwhelming rain of swords coming, Zefa did not dare to be negligent.
Compared to the Ten Thousand Swords of the Navy that he had just borrowed, each of these sword energies released by Luo Yan was extremely sharp.
Cutting gold and breaking iron is no problem.
“Black wrist!”
Faced with the torrential rain of sword energy that was as dense as rain and as fast as lightning, Zefa burst out with the maximum peak of Armament Haki in one breath.
The whole person seemed to be wearing a domineering armor, and his fists seemed to be covered with domineering boxing gloves.
He sank his knees, clenched his fists, and raised his arms to strike.
Like a blue dragon emerging from the sea.
The air in front was compressed in an instant, and then exploded in another instant.
The surging armed color domineering burst out from Zefa’s iron fist, and in an instant formed a huge arm that was as black as ink and as big as a mountain, which the giants could only look up to. Then it was clenched into a fist, spanning the sky and hitting the rain of swords.
Look from a distance.
Just like the ancient giants, they swung out their arms wrapped in armed color domineering and smashed everything.
This is Black Wrist.
It is both Zefa’s code name for the admiral and his famous skill.
The most powerful killer move.
Crush all pirates with his mountain-like black arms.
In a flash, under the gazes of thousands of navy officers, the sky-covering rain of swords and the mountain-like black arms collided head-on.
The blinding light burst out like a nuclear explosion, forming a huge curtain of light that covered the square, encompassed the headquarters, and even blocked out the universe.
The overwhelming sword energy storm and the domineering torrent intertwined and collided violently, cutting the ground into pieces, crushing it layer by layer, and raising huge waves of dust like a mountain torrent and tsunami.
This is not two people wrestling, it’s actually two small nuclear bombs colliding with each other.
Seeing that the conflict was escalating and becoming more and more intense, and was about to spread to the edge of the square and hurt the watching navy, Sengoku and Borsalino looked at each other and raised their hands at the same time.
Two extremely powerful armed color domineering spread out, evolving into substantial defensive power, forming an indestructible defensive wall, offsetting all the aftermath caused by the fight between Luo Yan and Zefa.
They had no doubt that if they left it alone and allowed the two to fight, not only the Navy Square, but even the nearby fortresses and even the headquarters would be split apart.
With Sengoku and Borsalino working together to suppress the aftermath, the watching navy all breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.
Just now, they seemed to see the dead Gol D. Roger waving to them.
“Give up!”
“You can’t become the strongest in the world just by swordsmanship. Only domineering aura can surpass everything.”
In the core area where sword energy and domineering aura collided, Zefa was like an evil ghost, with violent domineering aura wrapped around his body, and he managed to withstand the overwhelming rain of swords.
After hearing this, Luo Yan said nothing and just pointed his sword into the air.
The sword energy burst out like a torrential rain, piercing the sky with brilliant sword light.
Once the terrifying edge burst out, it directly overwhelmed Zefa’s black wrist and pushed him back step by step.
Even with his feet dug into the ground, he still couldn’t keep his body steady.
“Congeal!”
Suddenly, Luo Yan shouted loudly.
The sword energy that suppressed Zefa like a violent storm rose into the sky and formed an array in the void. Then, under a pair of shocked gazes, thousands of sharp sword energies combined together.
It formed a giant sword that was like a mountain, hovering in the sky.
Before the sword fell, a violent sword wind had already shot out, cutting the sea of clouds floating in the sky into pieces.
Chapter 17: One sword breaks all laws! The method of cutting the swamp requires four swords (asking for flowers, collections, and comments!) (Old version)
Luo Yan pointed to the sky with one hand, gathering thousands of sword energies and condensing them into a giant sword like a mountain, spreading out its monstrous sharpness.
call–
Zefa looked up at the sky, gazing at the huge divine sword floating in the sky, like a mountain of swords. His majestic face revealed an unprecedented heaviness.
The observation Haki is giving a crazy warning.
One voice after another kept appearing in my ears.
The observation Haki is telling him.
The giant sword suspended in the sky can kill generals.
However, as a former black-armed admiral, a man standing at the pinnacle of the navy, he would not retreat even in the face of death, let alone at this time.
Facing the sharp giant sword, Zefa stood firm and bumped his fists together.
Like a torrent, the domineering aura like magma surged out from his body.
“bring it on!”
Zefa roared to the sky, his domineering power soaring into the sky, and his momentum was like a rainbow.
“Ten thousand swords return to their origin.”
Luo Yan’s eyes flashed coldly, and he swung his sword down.
The deafening sound of the sword, like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, echoed throughout Maryford.
puff–
Once the boundless divine sword burst out, it split the atmosphere along the way one by one, allowing all the navy who witnessed it to see a scene that they would never forget.
The sky of Maryford seemed to be split in half, and a faint sword light split the sky into two.
The huge sword hovering in the sky, like a dragon, chopped down on the head.
Seeing this, Zefa dropped his knees, causing the ground to crack.
He raised his arms above his head, like a king holding a pagoda.
The surging armed color domineering burst out from his arms like a flood, just like a rising current that pushes an island up to the sky ten thousand meters high, and directly hits the unparalleled giant sword that fell from the sky.
With divine power and domineering power, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, two forces that could shatter mountains and split seas collided with each other, exploding wave after wave, like a raging sonic tide.
Whether it was Luo Yan or Zefa, they concentrated their respective strength into one point, without any dispersion or waste.
But even so, the collision between the giant sword and the domineering aura still created a shock wave like a nuclear explosion, hovering over the sky above the Navy Headquarters.
On one hand, it released a dazzling light, forming an all-encompassing curtain of light, and on the other hand, it released a surging blast wave mixed with sword energy and domineering power.
There were terrifying lightning bolts like dragons and streams of light bursting out from all around, as if they were going to split the sky of the headquarters apart.
Zefa raised his arms high, and a domineering shock wave like a mountain torrent and tsunami suddenly exploded like tofu cut by a knife.
The sounds of clanging swords and sharp blades piercing flesh were heard one after another.
“snort!”
Zefa groaned, and his sturdy body like an iron tower shook violently, leaving a deep gap from his shoulder to his lower abdomen where the bone could be seen.
Scarlet blood spurted out from the wound like arrows, staining the ground beneath his feet red.
If it were Blackbeard, he would have been screaming and rolling on the ground after being ripped open by the sword.
But Zefa made a surprising move.
Apart from a muffled groan, he gritted his teeth and roared, and the armed color domineering wrapped around his arms to harden them, like two indestructible black knives. Then he stretched out his arms forward, like a dragon’s claw, and actually grabbed the giant sword that had ripped open his belly with his bare hands.
Once the giant sword, as heavy as a mountain and as sharp as a matchless sword, was placed on his body, Zefa felt that even though his arms were hardened by the armed color domineering, he still felt a stinging pain as if he was being cut by a thousand knives.
However, he endured the piercing pain, tightly grasped the oncoming giant sword, released the rolling Armament Haki, evolved into materialized attack power, and tried to crush the giant sword in his hand by force.
This is domineering.
Zefa raised his head and roared:
If you cultivate domineering aura and combine it with your Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin, this sword will have killed me.
He did not forget his original intention of fighting Luo Yan.
It is to correct Luo Yan’s wrong perception that he values swordsmanship more than domineering power.
“I can kill you even without domineering power.”
Luo Yan pointed his sword at Zefa.
The giant sword that was originally firmly grasped by Zefa’s two black dragon-like arms suddenly emitted a clanging sword sound.
The boundless divine sword explodes completely.
As a circle of ring-shaped sword energy spread out, Zefa felt that what he was holding in his hand was not a giant sword, but a super-large sea king, which actually shook his hands apart and cut off the armed color domineering that lingered around its body.
The fierce giant sword was like a bolt of lightning that pierced through, no, it submerged Zefa’s body.
The sword flashed and the sound of the earth cracking continued.
The Navy Square, no, the entire Navy Headquarters was cracking and shaking.
Even though Sengoku and Borsalino worked together to release the Armament Haki to suppress it, they were still unable to stop a terrifying, bottomless chasm that was a thousand meters long, and stretched out like an earth dragon tearing through the headquarters.
Tick-tock
When the sword light dissipated, the smoke and dust settled, Maryford no longer shook violently, and the sound of liquid falling to the ground slowly sounded, reaching the ears of every navy.
Everyone looked around.
Zefa, who had just been fighting against Luo Yan Wan Jian Gui Zong with the posture of a king holding a pagoda, was now kneeling on one knee, his body covered in blood, as if he was wearing a blood-stained shirt.
Whether it was the black-armed admiral being brought to his knees by a single sword strike, or the amount of blood that dyed the ground red like a pond, the sailors present all looked horrified.
“I don’t believe in domineering power overriding everything. I only believe in one sword that can break everything.”
“If not.”
“Then give me another sword.”
Luo Yan retracted his sword and looked down at Zefa who was kneeling on one knee.
despair–
When Zefa heard this, his blood-covered face twitched slightly, and he stepped on the pool of blood and exerted force.
He wanted to fight again.
It was not to prove that he was better than Luo Yan, but to prove that his dominance was above everything else.
As a former general of the headquarters, even though he has retired for several years, he is still as powerful as a blood cow.
Even though he was not as terrifying as Sakaski, Zefa was still able to stand up after enduring Luo Yan’s sword.
“As expected of the Black Arm General.”
Luo Yan watched Zefa stand up again after his knees left the ground. He did not attack again. Instead, he thought about it and sheathed Ying Shi and Mu Ku, who were floating beside him like guards and always protecting him:
“I used three swords to kill Shiki.”
“But to kill you, I’ll need four swords.”
His light words shattered Zefa’s will that forced him to persist.
Four swords!
Upon hearing this, Zefa’s bloodstained body twitched uncontrollably, and a hint of bitterness appeared on his face.
Just like drinking water, you know whether it is hot or cold.
As a man who became a marine admiral through his physical skills and domineering aura, how could he not know his own physical condition?
Even if they could fight again, it would only allow Luo Yan to strike with one more sword.
As soon as the fourth sword came out, no matter how strong the will was, the body still couldn’t bear it.
Even if he survived by chance, it would be impossible to prove that domineering was above everything else. It would be even more impossible to force Luo Yan to learn domineering through extreme battles, just like he helped Borsalino change his cognition in the military academy.
“Give up! Instructor Zefa.”
“Perhaps you are not wrong.”
“Before me, swordsmanship alone could not make you the strongest in the world. Only domineering aura could overcome everything. But I am here.”
Through the sword’s clear heart, Luo Yan clearly sensed Zefa’s emotional changes:
“I can do what the swordsmen of the past could not do.”
The words “I can” moved Zefa slightly.
Chapter 18: Black knife? It’s just a decoration (Please give flowers, collect, and comment!) (Old version)
Zefa looked deeply at Luo Yan. Looking at this young man who was even more talented than the three monster disciples he had taught, he was so determined and a little stubborn that he suddenly smiled.
“Old man, I admit defeat.”
He grinned and felt relieved.
Yes.
Zefa was relieved.
A young man who could injure himself severely with just three strikes and kill himself with four strikes using only sword skills.
For such a swordsman, whether or not he has domineering power is really no longer important.
Without this spirit of believing that sword is supreme, it would be impossible to master such mysterious sword skills.
“I admit it.”
“Even without Haki, you can still use it to become the strongest.”
“But there are thousands of people with fruit abilities in the world. Let’s not talk about those from far away, let’s just talk about those with natural abilities.”
Although Zefa is no longer obsessed with letting Luo Yan practice domineering aura, as a naval instructor and a former admiral, he is still willing to impart his experience to a rising star in the navy.
He was afraid that Luo Yan would be too confident and suffer a loss under the various strange fruit abilities.
After all, without domineering aura, the tolerance rate when facing a devil fruit user will undoubtedly be much lower.
“You know, the elemental transformation of a natural ability user can ignore all physical attacks.”
“If you encounter a natural type, how do you plan to deal with it?”
Zefa looked straight into Luo Yan’s eyes.
“One sword breaks it.”
Luo Yan heard this and spoke word by word.
He didn’t say this just to save face, but because he was confident in the kendo skills he performed once a week.
Even Zoro once used the Great Chenhan move to make Monet, the user of the Snow-Snow Fruit, unable to recover.
He didn’t believe that the kendo ultimate move he got from his weekly lottery would be inferior to Zoro’s Dachenhan.
Nothing else to say.
Just the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique obtained in the first weekly sign-in.
Even the sky can be cut, let alone a mere element.
“What a great sword that can break it.”
“Old man.”
We ll see.
After hearing this, Zefa laughed out loud and seemed quite satisfied with the answer.
“I still can’t make him change his mind!”
Kong saw the battle between the two come to an end. Although he felt it was exhilarating and eye-opening, he also felt a little regretful and sorry.
In his opinion, with Luo Yan’s swordsmanship, if he could learn to be more domineering, he would surely be able to reach a higher level.
Even without Conqueror’s Haki, he still has the potential to end the Great Pirate Era.
Luo Yan is too arrogant.
It was as if he had nothing else to do except his sword.
I don’t even bother to learn how to be domineering.
But this young man has the capital to be proud.
Because his sword was too sharp.
Although the last sword was not swung out, Kong knew very well that if Luo Yan swung out the fourth sword, Zefa would definitely be killed by the sword like Shiqi.
It s a pity indeed.
“With his swordsmanship, if he is willing to learn Haki, he will definitely be able to master the black sword.”
Zhan Guo also felt it was a pity.
Once Luo Yan refines the black sword, the Marine Headquarters will have one more of the world’s most powerful swordsman.
The deterrent effect on pirates is undoubtedly huge.
“Marshal Kong, Mr. Zhan Guo.”
Perhaps in your opinion, it is a great pity that Brother Luo Yan did not learn to be domineering and missed the chance to fight with the black knife.
“But have you ever thought that for Brother Luo Yan, domineering is dispensable; the black knife is just a decoration.”
However, Borsalino, the person Luo Yan first knew, had a different opinion.
Maybe it was because he was once a student with poor academic performance and he also had a dream in his heart.
That is to believe that one can become the strongest in the world just by relying on the Flash Fruit.
It’s a pity that Zefa used his fists and feet to make him change his mind.
Meeting Luo Yan now is equivalent to meeting a better self.
Borsalino naturally wanted to see Luo Yan be able to follow a path that he himself was unable to follow before.
“Domineering, he doesn’t lack that bit of attack power.”
“Black Knife, who can leave a notch on his knife?”
Borsalino looked at Sengoku and Sora.
After hearing this, both of them remained silent and seemed to be thinking about something.
yes!
Their long-standing belief has led them to believe that swordsmen must learn to be domineering.
No, not just swordsmen.
Everyone should learn to be domineering.
Swordsmen are like this.
The same is true for those with strong physical skills.
As long as you don’t have domineering power, no matter how powerful your fruit ability is, no matter how advanced your swordsmanship is, you can never become a top-level strongman.
But the appearance of Luo Yan seemed to break this rule.
Is Armament Haki Haki?
Luo Yan really doesn t lack that little bit of attack power.
As for evolving actual defensive power, who can ask Luo Yan, who is unparalleled in attack and killing and a master of swordsmanship, to defend?
Black knife?
Luo Yan doesn’t need such decorations to show off and prove that he is the strongest in the world.
Because he himself is the most powerful swordsman in the world.
“Even a strict person like Master Zefa has let it go and no longer forces Luo Yan to practice domineering aura.”
“Two.”
“I think it’s time for you to keep up with the times.”
Borsalino smiled:
“Each generation has its own talents, and the old are replaced by the new.”
“After the Great Pirate Era begins, the pirates will become stronger with each generation, and our navy should also become stronger with each generation.”
“In the past, it seemed impossible to our generation; now, for Brother Luo Yan, it is no longer impossible.”
He turned to look at Luo Yan, as if he was looking at the better self he once was.
“You taught me a lesson!”
Kong and Zhan Guo looked at each other and both shook their heads and laughed.
Each generation is stronger than the previous one.
Just like Borsalino, Sakaski and Kuzan, although the three were disciples taught by Zefa, they were all better than their teacher.
The same should be true for Luo Yan.
He will also be stronger than Borsalino, Sakaski, Kuzan, and any of the world’s most powerful swordsmen in the past.
“Since we are all here, why not just announce it here?”
“It will also boost the morale of the navy, which has been low since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era.”
Zhan Guo looked around and saw that the place was surrounded by a large number of naval officers, so he came up with a plan.
Because of Gol D. Roger’s words before his death, the world entered the Great Pirate Age.
Every day, countless people flock to the sea to become pirates.
On the contrary, fewer and fewer people are joining the navy.
Since Kake and Gion, there have been no more promising young men with the potential to become generals.
Even young talents with the potential to become lieutenant generals like Smoker, Hina, and Dor are rare.
Therefore, in Zhan Guo’s view, Luo Yan’s sudden appearance was simply a shot in the arm for the navy.
That makes sense.
Kong’s eyes lit up, and then he coughed lightly, attracting the attention of all the navy present.
He also pulled out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket.
Used to spread your voice to every corner of the Navy Headquarters.
“Military men.”
“I think you must be very curious.”
“Why did such a battle suddenly appear in Mary Freddy?”
“Why would Instructor Zefa fight this young man?”
Sora held the Den Den Mushi in his hand, and the sound swept through Mariford like a storm.
Whether it was the sailors standing guard and patrolling at the dock, the sailors who had just returned from sea, or the students who were training at the naval school, as long as they were in Maryford, everyone could hear his voice clearly.
Chapter 19: Reaching the top in one step! General Luo Yan (asking for flowers, collections, and comments) (Old version)
“Not long ago, a young swordsman named Luo Yan came to the Marine Headquarters with the body of Shiki who escaped from Impel Prison.”
“His swordsmanship is the best I have ever seen in my life. No one can match him.”
“The once arrogant and domineering Flying Pirate Golden Lion could only survive three strikes in his hands.”
When Kong said this, his voice suddenly paused and he looked at Zephyr.
He was asking for the other person’s opinion.
Generally speaking, the defeat of a navy admiral must be concealed, but Zephyr is already a retired admiral, so he is not included.
Plus there were a lot of onlookers.
Even if we conceal it, there is no need to do so.
“No problem.”
Zephyr smiled nonchalantly.
He is no longer a naval admiral, but a military academy instructor.
For him now, what he wants to do most is to train more talents for the navy, and what he wants to see most is that the navy becomes stronger with each generation.
In Zefa’s opinion, it would be perfect if he could use his past insignificant reputation as a stepping stone for Luo Yan to become the admiral of the navy.
At least, his false reputation, which will sooner or later disappear in the long river of history, can still contribute to the navy at this time.
Seeing this, Kong felt relieved.
After all, this was an exceptional appointment of Luo Yan as admiral of the navy, which would inevitably cause an uproar.
There are Shiqi and Zefa, these two battle records as endorsement.
Not only will it allow Luo Yan to reach the top in one step and sit firmly on the throne of the Navy Admiral, but it will also not bring about too much negative impact.
After all, Borsalino, Sakaski and Kuzan, who have the strength of admirals, are now only candidates for admirals.
Especially Sakaski and Kuzan, who were still working hard to accumulate military merits in the Grand Line.
Now what?
A young boy in his twenties with no military achievements surpassed everyone and stood at the top of a navy of tens of millions.
It will inevitably cause criticism.
Even if the Navy has no objections, the World Government will have opinions.
After all, the admiral of the navy represents not only strength, fame, status, but also power.
For example.
In the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, anyone other than the Celestial Dragons is not called a human being at all.
This is true for pirates, the kings of allied nations, and even the navy is no exception.
Only the Admiral.
Not to mention ordinary Celestial Dragons, even the Five Elders cannot force them to do things they don t want to do.
Just like Cap.
The only thing that can force him to bow his head is the justice behind his clothes.
Once the justice behind his clothes can no longer suppress him, he will go berserk.
That’s what Kuzan is like.
The burning justice is extinguished.
Lazy justice, broken.
He left the Marine Headquarters without hesitation and joined the Blackbeard Pirates.
Precisely because the Admirals of the Navy hold high positions of power and are privy to many of the World Government’s secrets, both the Navy Headquarters and the World Government will be extremely cautious when appointing Admirals of the Navy.
So in the original book, even though Borsalino was 46 years old, he was still a candidate for general.
“That’s a flying pirate as famous as Gol D. Roger and Edward Newgate!”
“It took the combined efforts of General Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp to take down Shiki.”
“A great pirate like that couldn’t even get past the three swords.”
“What kind of swordsmanship is this?”
“Even the most powerful swordsman in the world is probably no more than this!”
How strong is Shiki?
The navy at headquarters is very clear about this.
After all, it has only been about two years since Shiki single-handedly challenged the Marine Headquarters and then fought a devastating war with Sengoku and Garp.
Almost all the navy officers present were witnesses of that battle.
Therefore, they all knew how powerful Shiqi was.
Such a domineering pirate who pointed his sword at the headquarters was killed by three swords.
How could it not cause a sensation?
Even though some high-ranking naval officers knew that Shiki had cut off his own legs in order to escape prison, and that his strength must not be as good as when he caused chaos at the Naval Headquarters, they were still extremely shocked.
Before the marines at headquarters could calm down from their shock, Sora’s voice echoed once again over Mariford.
Because of the battle of ideas.
“And to prove something.”
“This young man fought against our former great general, Black Arm.”
After getting Zefa’s permission, Kong stopped talking and continued to pave the way for Luo Yan and build momentum for him:
“He only used three strikes. Before the fourth strike was even launched, Zefa felt that he was no match for him.”
Once these words were spoken, they caused a sensation again.
The entire naval headquarters was in an uproar.
A person’s reputation is like the shadow of a tree.
Among all the admirals, Zephyr is not the strongest, but for the active navy, he is extremely important.
Because starting from the generation of Borsalino and Sakaski, almost all the elite navy officers were trained by Zefa.
And all these sailors who learned from Zefa have now, without exception, become the backbone, elite, and even candidates for admiral in the Marine Headquarters.
They all knew very well how powerful Zefa was.
But now.
Marshal Kong actually announced it to the entire Marine Headquarters in full view of everyone.
The former great general Black Arm was no match for the Four Swords of Luo Yan.
How could it not cause an uproar?
Those who were in the Navy Square and witnessed the entire battle were fine, but the navy who did not witness it with their own eyes were all horrified.
First, he killed Shi Ji with three swords, and then he defeated Ze Fa with three swords.
Those navy officers who did not witness the battle between Luo Yan and Zefa with their own eyes could not imagine how advanced the swordsmanship was required to do so.
“The reason why I dare to say that Luo Yan is the strongest swordsman I have ever seen in my life, without a doubt, is because whether he killed Shi Ji or defeated Ze Fa, he only relied on swordsmanship, without any domineering power.”
As if afraid that the headquarters’ navy wasn’t shocked enough, Sora added one more sentence.
Hiss!
Bursts of gasps came from different locations in Maryford.
Most of the marines who can serve in the headquarters know how to use Haki.
Even if you don’t know how to be domineering, you know that it exists.
They all knew that domineering was the passport to the new world.
Without domineering aura, no matter how great your swordsmanship is or how powerful your fruit is, you still cannot become a top-level expert.
But now, they actually heard Marshal Kong say that Luo Yan killed Shi Ji and defeated Ze Fa with just his swordsmanship. How could they not find it horrifying?
“To end the Great Age of Pirates.”
“To suppress the increasingly rampant pirates.”
“I have decided to make an exception and appoint Luo Yan as the general of our department.”
Sora took a deep breath, held the Den Den Mushi in his hand, and announced to all the navy in Mariford in an unquestionable tone.
“Admiral?”
“Without any military merit or experience, no, he wasn’t even a marine before, yet he was directly promoted to the commander-in-chief of this headquarters!”
When the navy of Marifred learned that Kong was going to make an exception and appoint Luo Yan as the admiral of the navy, their first reaction was disbelief, then shock, and finally curiosity.
Because of the preparation and hype before, they were not questioning, resisting or opposing, but curious.
I am curious about how profound Luo Yan’s swordsmanship is that Marshal Kong would make an exception for him.
In the absence of military merit.
In the absence of qualifications.
Even though he was not a navy member before, he rose to the top in one step and became an admiral.
Chapter 20 Dominating the headlines! Codename: Heavenly Sword (Please give flowers, collect, and comment!) (Old version)
Seven days is a very short time.
But a name can make a sensation in the world.
With Admiral Kong s high-profile announcement in Maryford that Luo Yan was appointed as the admiral of the headquarters, the name Luo Yan spread throughout the world in just one week.
Ever since Gol D. Roger used his life as a bargaining chip to open the Great Pirate Era, the word “pirate” seems to have become the main theme of the Grand Line.
Looking at countries around the world and hundreds of sea races, the topic of conversation after dinner is always inseparable from the word “pirates”.
Even the headlines of each newspaper are dominated by different big pirates.
Either the Whitebeard Pirates occupy an island, or Kaido marches into Wano Country, either Charlotte Linlin conquers a country for dessert, or Dracule Mihawk hunts the navy.
If Shi Ji had not met Luo Yan by chance after escaping from prison and had not been killed by him with his sword, Shi Ji would have dominated the headlines of the latest issue of the newspaper.
In short, everything about the navy, the government, and even other things has almost become the scraps of newspapers.
Not enough to dominate the headlines.
Only this issue.
Using the legendary pirate Shiki as a stepping stone and the black-armed admiral as a sword-testing stone, he stepped on two legends of the old era and reached the top in one step.
This made Luo Yan’s name, as well as the navy, once again appear on the news headlines after a long absence.
The first half of the Grand Line.
A huge warship is anchored on the sea.
Directly in front of the warship, looking out, the endless waves of the sea were all frozen into ice, emitting a chilling cold air.
Looking at the world of pirates, there is only one person who can freeze the sea.
General candidate.
Aokiji.
“Heavenly Sword, Luo Yan.”
“Ah la la la la la!”
“It seems that a remarkable guy has come to the Navy Headquarters.”
Kuzan looked at the newspaper in his hand, his eyes focused on Luo Yan’s photo.
He still remembered that the last time the navy dominated the headlines was when he, Sakaski, and Borsalino were appointed as candidates for admiral and given the code name of admiral.
Hahahahaha!
“Kuzan boy, are you jealous?”
“After all, you are only a candidate for general until now.”
Not far away, a middle-aged navy man lying on a deck chair grinned and teased Kuzan wantonly.
In the Marine Headquarters, there was only one person who dared to tease an admiral candidate like this.
Naval hero.
Monkey D. Cap.
“As for jealousy, no.”
It s just a little stressful.
“Like you said, I am only a candidate for admiral until now, unlike you, Mr. Garp, who refused to become an admiral three times.”
Faced with Monkey D. Garp’s teasing, Kuzan did not get angry and even admitted that he felt a little pressured.
“Young people! It’s good to have pressure.”
“After all, you three little brats have been labeled as monsters since you were in military school. After you went out to sea, you haven’t encountered any decent opponents.”
“It’s good now. There’s a young general above you. This way he can whip you and prevent you from neglecting your training.”
Garp looked at Kuzan with a smile.
“I have never stopped practicing!”
After Kuzan finished speaking, he put down the newspaper, stood up and went to the side to practice boxing.
At this time, he had not yet experienced the O’Hara incident.
What we pursue is still burning justice.
His character is not lazy, but passionate.
Therefore, he was determined to be the first one among the three admiral candidates to be promoted to navy admiral.
Especially he was stimulated by the general who came from the sky, Luo Yan.
This made Kuzan even more motivated.
Now that the first place has been taken away, we must not fall behind Sakaski and Borsalino.
This is not an isolated case.
In the GL 1st Branch of the Navy in the New World, there is also a person who has the same idea as Kuzan.
That is the strongest man among the three general candidates.
Sakaski.
Codename: Akainu.
He is not like Kuzan. He studied under Zephyr in the military academy. After graduation, he was favored by Monkey D. Garp, who not only kept him by his side, but also taught him all his physical skills and domineering power.
The reason why he can become the strongest, toughest and most powerful of the three generals now and in the future is due to his self-discipline and hard work for ten years.
He is like an emotionless justice machine.
There are only three things I do every day.
Guard the base.
Eliminate the pirates.
And, never stop exercising.
Whether it’s physical skills, domineering, or the magma fruit that is said to have the highest peak attack power among the three types of devil fruits, they have all been developed to the extreme.
There are no shortcomings.
In terms of output, he can compete with Edward Newgate, who has eaten the strongest superhuman Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
In a competition of physical skills, he fought against Kuzan, who had learned a lot from Garp.
In terms of health bars, it is not inferior to Kaido in the Blue Dragon form after he ate the Fish-Fish Fruit, the Mythical Beast, and the Blue Dragon form.
In terms of recovery, he is no less than Marco, the user of the Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Beast, Phoenix form.
In terms of swordsmanship, he is as good as Borsalino and is definitely a great swordsman.
If Monkey D. Garp is recognized as the number one navy officer in the old era, then Sakaski is the number one navy officer in the new era.
Even Sakaski himself thinks so.
A young man suddenly appeared and forced him to retract this idea for the first time.
“Luo Yan!”
As Sakaski used the mountain as a punching bag and punched continuously, a picture emerged in his mind.
A man holding two swords stood on a mountain of corpses formed by countless navy men.
He looked down upon the enemy troops with an arrogant attitude, as if his own unit was nothing.
Shiki.
Sakaski witnessed the entire battle that razed half of the Navy Headquarters to the ground.
Even today, he is better than his past self.
Even if facing the peak Shi Ji, he has the confidence to defeat him.
But it is really impossible to kill Shi Ji with just a few sword strikes.
This was true even for Shiki, who cut off his own legs.
As one of Zephyr’s most proud disciples, he, like Borsalino, is proficient in fists, kicks, swords and domineering.
Therefore, Sakaski could understand more and more how advanced Luo Yan’s swordsmanship was.
This also made him, who originally claimed to be the best in the navy, regard Luo Yan as an imaginary enemy.
Must be surpassed.
Because becoming the Admiral had never been his goal.
The Admiral of the Navy is.
Even if he is promoted to general as he wishes, if he cannot surpass Luo Yan, how can he become the marshal of our department?
Just when Kuzan, Sakaski, and even Borsalino, the most lazy of the three admiral candidates, all regarded Luo Yan as their target to catch up with.
Far away in the Navy Headquarters, Luo Yan, who was exceptionally appointed as the Admiral of the Navy, was sitting on a reef on Maryford Beach, fishing leisurely.
Crash
Suddenly, the fishing line slid quickly, the fishing rod shook violently, and the sea surface was rippling with violent waves.
Luo Yan held the fishing rod and pulled hard.
The waves surge into the sky, rising from the sea.
A bloody mouth broke out of the sea and bit towards him.
Without seeing Luo Yan making any movement, a sword light suddenly burst out.
It poked its head out of the sea, and a sea king that was over a hundred meters long was split into two and fell to the shore.
“Big stuff.”
Luo Yan looked at the sea king that he had fished ashore, and the corners of his lips slightly raised:
“Bait.”
For him, it’s not just the Sea Kings that take the bait, but also the Kendo special moves that come with weekly sign-ins.
Chapter 21 Zhou Qian Kendo Big Move: One Sword Across the Worlds (Please give me flowers, please add me to your collection, please give me comments!) (Old Version)
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the sword technique: One Sword Separates Worlds. ]“My physical fitness and mental will are better than before.”
Looking at the information emerging in his mind, the smile on Luo Yan’s lips became even more intense.
As the number of weekly sign-ins increased, he found that after each weekly sign-in, his body and spirit would be improved accordingly.
That is to say.
In addition to obtaining a powerful kendo move, Zhou Qian will also strengthen Luo Yan’s body and spirit, and raise them to a level that matches the powerful kendo move obtained by Zhou Qian.
Only in this way can the true power of kendo skills be brought into play.
Therefore, he had no intention of practicing physical skills or domineering aura.
After all, no matter how hard you work on cultivating your domineering aura and physical skills, the improvement you get in the end will be far less than a weekly sign-in.
“General Luo Yan.”
Just when Luo Yan was eager to try out the sword skills he had just acquired, a cold voice suddenly came from behind.
It s you!
“Gion.”
When Luo Yan heard this, he knew who was coming without turning around.
As the general of the headquarters, he would of course have his own direct subordinates.
Or an adjutant.
Perhaps in order to show his importance to Luo Yan, Kong specially appointed Gion, who had just graduated from the Naval Academy not long ago but had the qualifications of an admiral, as his adjutant.
Assist him to familiarize himself with the work of the admiral as soon as possible and integrate into the naval headquarters.
“You’re still in the mood to fish here!”
“The headquarters is going to hold a round table meeting!”
“All generals and general candidates must attend.”
Although Gion’s pair of long legs, which are longer than her life, are wearing high heels, her walking speed is not affected at all.
As soon as the voice reached Luo Yan’s ears, she appeared like a gentle breeze and stood behind Luo Yan.
“Round table?”
Luo Yan’s tone revealed a hint of surprise.
Although he was appointed as the admiral by exception and had only been in office for seven days, he also knew the importance of the round table meeting.
It can be regarded as the highest-level meeting of the Navy Headquarters.
In a word.
No one below the rank of general candidate is allowed to enter.
Of course, there are exceptions.
For example, Monkey D. Garp, who refused to be promoted to admiral several times.
“It looks like something big is about to happen in the world.”
Gion frowned slightly, revealing a trace of solemnity.
When she was in the Naval Academy, she not only studied swordsmanship, physical skills and domineering, but also some cultural subjects.
For example, navigation.
For example, military knowledge.
The round table meeting was mentioned among them.
Every time a meeting of this level is held, it often involves changes in the world pattern.
After hearing this, Luo Yan also became interested:
“Let’s go, Gion.”
“Let’s go and see what kind of thing it is that requires a round table meeting.”
He put down his fishing rod and temporarily suppressed the idea of testing the sword.
Gion saluted in a serious manner, acting like a qualified adjutant.
Although she was evaluated by Zefa as the only woman with the qualifications of an admiral in the headquarters of the Navy when she entered school, she did not show the slightest arrogance in front of Luo Yan.
One reason is my personality.
Second, Gion is clear.
The so-called qualities of a great general are nothing in front of Luo Yan.
After all, her boss was a young man who was appointed as the general of the headquarters by Marshal Kong against all odds and pressure from the World Government.
Be it strength or qualifications, he had nothing to be proud of in front of Luo Yan.
Therefore, instead of being opposed to becoming Luo Yan’s adjutant, Jiyuan was quite happy about it.
Because she is also a swordsman.
She admires and respects Luo Yan, who was able to become a navy admiral with swordsmanship alone without any domineering power.
Although the conference room was not close to where Luo Yan was fishing, with the strength of the two of them, even if they did not rush, it only took them ten minutes to reach the rebuilt naval building.
Gion first knocked on the door of the conference room, then reached out and pushed the closed door open.
After Luo Yan walked into the meeting room, he looked around.
What comes into view is a large, heavy round table that gives off a grand feeling.
There are eight chairs placed around the round table.
At this time, many seats were already occupied.
The first one on the left of the main seat.
The one sitting is General Senshi, the Buddha of the Warring States Period.
Then there is the naval hero, Garp.
Then there is the Navy s chief instructor, Zephyr.
The first and second seats to the left of the main seat are empty.
And then the third one is Borsalino.
The fourth one is Kuzan.
Wow!
“I finally see the real me.”
“Even younger than what I saw in the newspaper!”
The moment Luo Yan walked in, Karp’s eyes fell on him.
“I’m Kuzan.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Kuzan raised his hand and greeted.
Whether he pursues burning justice or lazy justice, he is the easiest to get along with among the three admiral candidates.
“It’s been a long time.”
“Vice Admiral Garp.”
“Mr. Kuzan.”
Luo Yan met the gazes of the two people, smiled slightly and nodded.
After saying hello, he walked to the first chair on the right under the gaze of Garp, Kuzan and others.
When everyone saw this, they all looked as if it was natural.
The order of seats does not represent military rank, but it does represent weight.
In terms of age, Luo Yan is the youngest in the audience, but he can sit in the first chair on the right side of the main seat.
Nothing else.
Cut out with a sword.
Even Monkey D. Garp and Kuzan, who met for the first time, acknowledged this fact.
Of course, in addition to their weight, they also represent the top naval officials of the new and old eras.
Sengoku, Monkey D. Garp, and Zephyr on the left are all legendary navy men of the old times.
Luo Yan, Borsalino, and Kuzan on the right, as well as Sakaski who has not yet arrived, are the new generals of the new era.
After a while, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Marshal Kong strode in from the door and sat in the main seat.
“Except for Sakaski, everyone is here, right?”
After Sora took his seat, he looked around the room and then knocked on the table.
One by one, female logistics soldiers walked into the conference room holding fragrant black tea, served a cup of black tea to each person present, then turned around and left, closing the door again.
As for the adjutants present, they stood at the door of the conference room.
One is to guard, the other is to wait.
Of course, not all lieutenants are like this.
For example, Kuzan’s adjutant, Smoker, took out two cigars, walked away as if no one was around, and stood outside the naval building to smoke.
Kong reached out and knocked on the round table, and a video image was immediately projected onto a screen not far away.
Sakaski, wearing a coat of justice and with a dignified face, appeared in the picture.
“Because Sakaski has to guard GL Branch 1 and cannot leave, he will participate in the meeting via video this time.”
Sora explained, and then dropped a bombshell right away.
Chapter 22 Round Table Meeting! Three Points of the Sea (Seeking flowers, collections, and comments) (Old version)
“The reason why I called you all here today is just to discuss one thing.”
“Since the beginning of the Great Pirate Age, the world has been in a state of chaos. It is even more chaotic and disorderly than when Roger, Ski and Newgate were in power.”
“The World Government then decided to divide the ocean into three parts.”
Everyone present had different expressions when they heard this.
“Marshal Kong, how do you divide it?”
The first to speak was Zhan Guo.
“Isn’t it just the navy and pirates?”
In the video, Sakaski s brows were furrowed.
“Three-point ocean, the key lies in the pirates.”
“The World Government intends to name the four strongest pirate groups in the New World the Four Emperors.”
“At the same time, the Seven Warlords of the Sea system was established to split the pirate camp into two. This can both divide and bring the pirates together.”
Sora said slowly.
“Whether it’s the Seven Warlords of the Sea or the Four Emperors, they’re just a title.”
“It’s not like the Pirate King, who represents a great secret treasure that will cause pirates all over the world to fight over it.”
“How can they be divided, let alone won over?”
Borsalino shook his head.
Fame and fortune move people’s hearts.
That’s true.
Perhaps none of the kings standing at the top of the pirates are fools.
Even Charlotte Lingling became old and incompetent only after she had been king for decades.
In fact, all kings, when they were young, no matter whether they were cruel or kind, were not easy to deal with.
“The World Economic News Agency will release news to build momentum for the Four Emperors.”
“First, the Four Emperors are defined as the beings closest to the Pirate King, that is, those who have the ticket to compete for the title of Pirate King.”
“And with the exception of the Blade, neither the World Government nor the Marine Headquarters have the right to go to war with the Four Emperors without the permission of their superiors.”
As soon as Kong said this, Kuzan and the others all looked thoughtful:
“Then there is the Shichibukai system.”
“The government will select seven pirates from among the pirates other than the Four Emperors who have grudges against the Four Emperors, have challenged the Four Emperors, or are a threat to the Four Emperors, and recruit them to become the Seven Warlords of the Sea.”
“Except for having to accept the mandatory summons of the World Government, they will no longer be wanted, nor will they be given the privilege of legal looting.”
As soon as the empty words fell.
All the high-ranking naval officers present were horrified.
Especially Sakaski, who had the most iron-blooded and fierce character, started to speak out directly.
“I object.”
“Not calling for the Seven Warlords of the Sea anymore is already a great favor.”
“If a group of pirates are given the right to plunder legally, where does this put the justice of the navy?”
Sakaski pursues complete justice.
But the Shichibukai system promoted by the World Government is no less than a trampling on his justice.
“I don’t agree.”
“Giving the Shichibukai such high power, even if it can really divide the pirates, it is just drinking poison to quench thirst.”
Kuzan now practices burning justice.
Although he is not as extreme as Sakaski, he is also passionate and wants to end the Great Pirate Era.
“No matter what, the sins of pirates cannot be erased.”
Borsalino picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
He meant the same thing as Sakaski and Kuzan.
Do not agree with the system of Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Almost no navy member with a sense of justice can accept the Shichibukai system.
“Old Ghost Kong.”
“It’s ok that the Five Elders are old and confused, but are you also old and confused?”
“By giving the Shichibukai so much power, are you encouraging the marines to switch careers and become pirates?”
Cap picked his nose.
If it weren’t for the quick eyes and hands of Zhan Guo and Zefa who were standing by and each grabbed one of his arms, he would have flicked the booger in his hand into the air.
“I am also a marine. Do you think I want to support the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?”
When Kong saw Garp picking his nose, he subconsciously dodged until he was grabbed by Sengoku and Zephyr. Then he said coldly with a dark face:
“But this is the decision of the Five Elders.”
“Whether our navy is for or against it, the Five Elders will choose to bypass our navy and propose this system to the kings of various countries at the World Conference.”
“If the proposal is passed, we can bypass our navy and establish the Shichibukai system.”
After hearing what Sora said, even Sakaski, who objected most strongly, fell silent.
It is not that we are afraid of the world government or that we dare not fight back, but that the world government adopts the separation of military and politics.
The government’s member states cannot interfere with the Navy Headquarters, but similarly, the Navy Headquarters cannot govern the government’s member states.
Once the Five Elders bypass the Marine Headquarters and choose to propose the Seven Warlords of the Sea system at the World Conference, and it is voted through by the kings, the Seven Warlords of the Sea system will naturally be established.
Regardless of whether the Navy is in favor or against it, if the World Government and the member states vote in favor of the proposal, the Shichibukai system will be established.
On the contrary, in the World Conference, if the proposal is not passed, the Shichibukai system cannot be introduced.
“You should be fully aware of how serious the world situation is.”
“Roger created such a great pirate era, which made the whole world a mess.”
“Whether it is a member country or a non-member country, they are all suffering from pirate plunder.”
“Unless our navy can suppress the entire Great Pirate Era on its own, the member states that have suffered from pirate plunder will definitely choose to support the Seven Warlords’ system.”
“After all, after the establishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the pirates will be divided, the Seven Warlords of the Sea will be won over by the government, and they can also share some of the pressure on the navy.”
Sora sighed.
Even though he is loyal to the World Government, he is also the Admiral of the Navy.
Without unwavering justice in one’s heart, it would be impossible to reach this point, and naturally one would not want to see the establishment of the Shichibukai system.
Separation of military and political power.
The Navy Headquarters cannot control the World Government or more than one hundred member countries.
Unless the Navy Headquarters declares independence and then goes it alone.
But if that happens, let s not talk about how many navies will respond, just to say, after independence, is the navy really still a navy?
In the video, Sakaski punched the table.
He felt extremely aggrieved when he thought about the Seven Warlords of the Sea walking past him in the future, and appearing in the Marine Headquarters, but he could only turn a blind eye.
“Let a pile of marine garbage take precedence over the justice of the navy and the safety of civilians.”
“Only those rubbish of the Celestial Dragons can come up with such stupid things.”
Karp even started to criticize directly.
“Karp.”
Watch your words.
Don t forget who you are.
Kong glared at Garp and scolded him, but it was just a scolding.
There is no punishment.
Obviously, he was also very dissatisfied with the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
“I want to know if you have a list of candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea.”
Just when the atmosphere in the conference room reached a freezing point, a voice suddenly rang out.
The person who spoke was Luo Yan, who had not said a word since the meeting began.
“I do have the list.”
Although Sora was confused, he still told the truth.
“That’s easy.”
“What do you think? Can we get a list of the Shichibukai and defeat these pirates before they are officially recruited as Shichibukai?”
Luo Yan’s words stunned everyone present.
Chapter 23 It was not the Navy that chose me, but I who chose the Navy (Please give flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
You can have this.
“Luo Yan boy.”
“Count me in as one.”
Karp’s eyes lit up and he immediately expressed his desire to participate.
“Ah la la la la.”
“Then I will reserve one of the Shichibukai.”
Kuzan looked like he was sharpening his knife.
“Looks like I have to ask the World Government for a long vacation.”
“Let them arrange for someone else to guard the Bank restricted area.”
Borsalino put down his teacup.
The meaning is self-evident.
He wants to participate too.
Seeing this, Sakaski was also eager to try.
But when he thought about the fact that he was responsible for guarding the 1st GL branch and couldn’t leave, he suddenly felt like he had missed out on 5 billion.
All the navy officers who can take his place in guarding GL’s 1st branch are in this meeting room.
But these people, without exception, all looked like they were going to hunt the Seven Warlords of the Sea. How could they be willing to come to the GL 1st Branch to replace themselves and guard the base with great difficulty?
“You think too simply.”
“Even if you really want to defeat all the Shichibukai on the list, the New World is not short of seawater and pirates.”
“If you defeat a group of Shichibukai today, the World Government can recruit a new group tomorrow.”
“What? Are you guys not going to do anything else and just hunt the pirates on the list of the Seven Warlords every day?”
Kong shook his head and poured cold water on him:
“If you guys can take advantage of us this time, will you be able to do it next time?”
“Wait until the Shichibukai system is passed by the World Government, and then the government will directly announce the Shichibukai candidates in the newspapers.”
“At that time, without the permission of the government and without the help of the member countries, we are not allowed to launch an arrest operation against the Seven Warlords of the Sea without authorization.”
He sighed.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent again.
At this time, Luo Yan spoke again.
Whether it was Sengoku, Monkey D. Garp and Zephyr from the old era, or Borsalino, Sakaski and Kuzan from the new era, they all looked at Luo Yan in unison.
It is conceivable that the navy’s top brass are resistant to and disgusted with the Shichibukai system.
“What do you want?”
Kong felt a little helpless.
How come he didn’t know that Luo Yan was not only an expert in swordsmanship, but also very smart?
“I’m just a little curious.”
“The Blade can go to war with the Four Emperors without permission from their superiors, so can he go to war with the Seven Warlords of the Sea?”
Luo Yan looked like a newbie in the navy, asking for some education.
Kong was really stumped this time.
Can’t you say no?
It doesn t seem right either.
Even the Four Emperors can go to war, let alone the mere Seven Warlords of the Sea.
What’s more, all members of the Blade Force have changed their naval numbers to the headquarters, so they don’t have to follow the orders of the government or the headquarters.
It is a “guerrilla force” that can act freely.
But if you say that you can go to war with the Seven Warlords of the Sea, isn’t that a blatant undermining of the World Government?
The admirals and admiral candidates present were all rubbing their hands in anticipation, vying to reserve one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. If anyone said that the sharp blade could go to war with the Seven Warlords of the Sea, even the most stable Sengoku would probably get involved.
For a moment, cold sweat broke out on Kong’s forehead.
Because everyone was staring at him intently.
On one side, they are dismantling the Five Elder Stars.
On the one hand, it is difficult to offend public anger.
It s difficult for him too!
“I understand.”
Seeing Kong just sweating profusely but not saying anything, Luo Yan looked as if he had realized something.
Then.
Under the astonished gazes of Borsalino and the others, he took off the navy number on the shoulder of the Coat of Justice, placed it on the round table, and pushed it in front of Sora.
This scene made Kuzan, Sakaski and Borsalino horrified.
Admiral, return your number and join the Blade.
Looking back at history, this has never happened before.
It seemed that this young man had come into being just to break the rules of the navy.
“Luo Yan, do you really want to do this?”
“Although you will still be an admiral after your number is returned, neither the headquarters nor the government will be held responsible for your actions.”
“You may even be expelled from the military at any time.”
Kong looked at the navy number so close at hand with an extremely complicated expression.
He originally thought that the most radical person present was Sakaski, but he never expected it to be Luo Yan.
However, when he thought of the swordsman’s sharpness and the fact that Luo Yan possessed superb swordsmanship at the young age, he could understand it.
“When I was a bounty hunter, I could hunt pirates as much as I wanted.”
“Now that I’m an admiral of the navy, I have to avoid the Seven Warlords of the Sea.”
“Then wouldn’t it be a waste for me to be an admiral?”
Luo Yan sneered, seemingly unmoved by Kong’s words:
“No one is above my sword.”
“No, Shichibukai.”
“Even the Four Emperors cannot do that.”
He looked around the room, and his voice was like the clanging of swords, echoing throughout the conference room.
“So cool! Luo Yan.”
“You are absolutely right.”
“Even if they are avoiding the sharp edge, it is the Shichibukai who are avoiding the sharp edge of our navy, how can we avoid the sharp edge of his Shichibukai!”
When Kuzan saw this scene, he couldn’t help but clap his hands.
It was as if he was going to switch from being a fanboy of Garp to being a fanboy of Luo Yan.
“Even if it means erasing your existence?”
Kong’s expression became increasingly complicated.
“You seem to have forgotten something.”
“The Navy didn’t choose me, I chose the Navy.”
Luo Yan shook his head and laughed.
He chose to join the navy because, firstly, he was against pirates and did not want to join the pirate camp; secondly, he wanted to kill time and set a small goal to end the Great Pirate Era while signing in for a kendo big move every week; thirdly, he had a similar temperament with Borsalino and was treated with courtesy by Sora and Sengoku.
Being able to choose the navy does not mean that he will obey the orders of the World Government.
If what can command Garp, Sakaski and others is the justice behind their clothes, then what can command Luo Yan is only his will.
Sakaski suddenly spoke and called Luo Yan.
“Any advice?”
“Mr. Sakaski.”
Luo Yan turned his head and looked at Sakaski in the video screen.
You don t have to be so radical.
As soon as Sakaski said this, the expressions of everyone present became extremely interesting.
After all, in their perception, Sakaski is the most passionate one, and every time in the past, they were the ones who advised the other party not to be so radical.
The most radical Sakaski actually advised Luo Yan not to be so radical.
“To be honest with you.”
“I am also very dissatisfied with the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even disgusted with it.
“Even with the Navy, and with a lot of things in government.”
Sakaski’s words are always shocking:
“But being too radical won’t change anything.”
It is only possible if you stand at a higher position.
“Get your number back, become a Grand Admiral, and change all that.”
This is the right way.
Before the meeting, Sakaski recognized Luo Yan’s swordsmanship.
But when he saw that Luo Yan returned his number without hesitation and treated the rank of general as worthless, he identified with Luo Yan as a person.
He even did not hesitate to speak his heart out in public and said some outrageous words.
Chapter 24: The Admiral Should Not Bow to the Great Pirate Era (Please give flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
“Too far.”
“I just want to seize the day.”
Luo Yan was also a little surprised. He didn’t expect that Sakaski, who always seemed like a justice machine and gave people an inhuman impression, would actually say such words to him.
“You are now an admiral of the navy, and you are only one step away from becoming a marshal.”
Sakaski said in a deep voice.
“Sakaski.”
“Since you have been so open with me, I might as well say a few words from the bottom of my heart.”
I think if we want to change the Navy, we must first change ourselves.
“If you can’t even change yourself, and can’t even uphold the justice you uphold, how can you change the Navy?”
“Compromise, tolerance and concession cannot bring justice.”
Luo Yan stared straight at Sakaski:
I don t have such great ambitions.
“I simply feel that the admirals of the navy should not bow down to the Great Pirate Era.”
He had just finished speaking.
A navy number rubbed the round table and slid in front of Sora.
Everyone turned to look.
The one who took off his naval number and returned to the headquarters was none other than one of the admiral candidates.
Kuzan.
“You’re already one step ahead of me in becoming a navy admiral.”
“The admirals should not bow to the Great Age of Pirates.”
“Ah la la la! This is such a cool thing, I can’t let you take all the credit for it.”
Kuzan laughed.
He pursues burning justice and is as radical as Sakaski.
Even because he was a student of Garp.
To put it in a nice way, it is called daring to act and take responsibility; to put it in a nasty way, it is called acting recklessly.
“There doesn’t seem to be a rule in the headquarters that general candidates cannot join the Blade, right?”
After Borsalino finished drinking the tea in the cup, he slowly asked Sora.
Sora said nothing.
What else can he say at this time?
Hehehe!
Seeing that Kong was silent, Borsalino smiled, then took off the navy number on the coat of justice, and just like Kuzan next to him, pushed the navy number in front of Kong.
Even if he flatters ambiguous justice and considers himself a worker, he is still a navy after all.
If I can uphold justice without breaking any rules, I would of course choose to be a candidate for a general who upholds justice.
Really.
“If everyone joins the Blade and goes hunting the Shichibukai, who will protect the base?”
In the video, Sakaski said this, but his hands were very honest.
“Luo Yan, I agree with you.”
“Admiral, you really shouldn’t bow down to the Great Pirate Era.”
“But as the head of the 1st Marine GL Branch, I can’t just leave my post like those two guys.”
“So, I can only support you in this way.”
After saying.
He took off the navy number from Justice’s coat and placed it on the table.
The appearance of Luo Yan.
This led to the three general candidates, who had always disagreed and held different opinions, to resign and take the same path for the first time.
Even Sakaski, who has always been upright and ruthless, took off his naval number at this moment.
“You guys, do you know what you are doing?”
“This is going to raise the entry threshold of the Blade Force infinitely.”
“After what you guys did, I’m afraid that in the future, sailors with ranks lower than admiral candidates will be too embarrassed to submit applications to join the team.”
Zefa was banging his head on the table one second, and the next second he was yelling:
“I’m a retired soldier, I don’t have any military rank, and you all have such high military ranks, how can I have the nerve to join?”
He was cursing, but the smile on his face couldn’t even be suppressed by Shanks’s divine avoidance.
As a teacher of the three general candidates.
How could Zefa not see that his three students had always been in appearance but not in spirit?
Borsalino and Sakaski are better.
Kosakaski and Kuzana are really incompatible.
But now, Luo Yan’s sudden appearance has brought the three general candidates together into one.
Even if it was only aimed at the Shichibukai system, and not at all times standing together, sharing life and death, it still made him, as a teacher, feel very gratified.
“It’s okay, Mr. Zephyr.”
“We can reluctantly take you along to play.”
Borsalino teased.
“Who asked you to bring it?”
“You make it sound like you, Borsalino, are the captain of the Blade.”
“Shouldn’t I submit my own application and then go and capture the Shichibukai?”
Zefa’s face darkened.
If I give you a little color, you will dare to open a dyeing factory.
“You guys.”
“Is there any naval discipline in your eyes?”
“What are you doing throwing numbers in front of me? Take them back.”
Seeing this, Kong finally became a little impatient.
A naval admiral.
Three general candidates.
There is also a naval chief instructor.
They all returned their naval numbers and joined the Blade.
How can this be?
Once trouble arises, the navy will disband in a matter of minutes.
Facing Kong’s scolding, Luo Yan, Borsalino and the other two turned a blind eye.
When Kong saw this scene, he frowned and looked like he was about to get angry.
“I advise you not to be ungrateful.”
“Young people should have the vigor of youth.”
Garp interrupted Sora at the right time:
“Besides, they just want to attack the Seven Warlords of the Sea. What’s wrong with that?”
“Still.”
“What rules does the Navy Headquarters have that forbid admirals or admiral candidates from joining the Blades?”
Garp’s words directly blocked Kong’s way.
“Maybe Luo Yan is right.”
“The navy of their generation really doesn’t need to bow down to the Great Pirate Era.”
Zhan Guo also expressed his views for the first time:
“Just looking at the generals of the new era, we have four.”
“When Gion and Kake grow up, that will be six.”
“There is no need for the Shichibukai system.”
His words revealed his disgust for the Shichibukai.
“Zhan Guo, why are you joining them in making trouble?”
Sora looked at Sengoku in astonishment.
All along, the impression Sengoku gave him was that he firmly believed in the orders of the World Government, and would attack anyone who doubted the government, even if they were his companions.
But now the Warring States period is acting differently.
They didn t do anything wrong.
The Warring States period has a specific meaning.
“I am so unlucky to have to deal with a group of great generals like you!”
Upon hearing this, Kong pinched his forehead and looked worried.
The last time he went against the majority’s opinion and made an exception to appoint Luo Yan as the admiral of the navy, he had already negotiated with the Five Elder Stars for a long time, and now this incident has happened again.
It is conceivable that when the Five Elders implement the Seven Warlords system, and then find out that the list of Seven Warlords they carefully selected has been shot one by one by Luo Yan, their expressions will be very interesting.
“Especially you.”
“I don’t know what got into me at the time, but I insisted on having you join the Navy.”
“As soon as I took office, I created such a mess.”
Kong glared at Luo Yan fiercely, but still took out a list from the pocket of his coat of justice:
“I’ll be frank with you.”
“If there is even one pirate on this list of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who is still roaming freely on the sea.”
“I will have all four of you court-martialed.”
Sora slammed the list of candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea in his hand on the round table.
It has come to this.
What can he say?
Luo Yan was recruited by himself.
If he doesn’t come to clean up the mess, who will?
Allow Luo Yan to resign and leave?
impossible!
And speak from the bottom of my heart.
As the naval marshal, seeing this scene, Kong was deeply relieved.
Just as Luo Yan said.
The admirals of the navy should never bow to the great pirate era.
Chapter 25: The Four Admirals of the Navy, led by Tianjian (Please give flowers, collect, and comment!) (Old version)
“You are willing to give back your navy numbers and make the Shichibukai system disappear.”
“I understand this awareness.”
“I will personally go to lobby the Five Elders, but you must come up with a decent answer.”
“Prove to the government, no, to the whole world, that even without the Shichibukai system, the navy alone can suppress the Great Pirate Era.”
Sora reached out and knocked on the round table, his tone extremely serious:
“I can’t be here to oppose the Shichibukai system for you, while you can’t even catch a single pirate on the Shichibukai list.”
“Isn’t this a joke?”
He pushed the list of candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea in front of Luo Yan.
“Seven in total.”
“I have three, and you each have two.”
“how?”
After Luo Yan took over the list of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he glanced at it and immediately stated that he would take three of the big pirates among them. Then he pushed the list in front of Borsalino and Kuzan.
It was he who first proposed returning the navy numbers and joining the Blades, and Kuzan and others chose to stand on his side even at the cost of returning their navy numbers.
Return a favor.
Of course he couldn’t be the one with the least strength.
Ala la la la! You re already a general.
“Military merit is just icing on the cake for you.”
“I’ll work harder, and all three will be mine.”
Kuzan does not agree with this allocation method.
He did not forget that he had to be the first among the three admiral candidates to become a navy admiral.
Those who are selected for the list of Seven Warlords of the Sea are all great pirates without exception.
Catching one is equivalent to more than 5,000 ordinary pirates.
“I’m older than you and I’m your senior. If I ask you to catch three, people will say I’m bullying my juniors!”
Borsalino crossed his hands and rested his chin on his hand.
He is also a candidate for general.
He also wants to improve.
Even though he had no intention of competing for the position of Admiral of the Navy, as the oldest of the three admiral candidates, he was still Kuzan’s senior.
It would be fine if he was surpassed by Sakaski from the same class, but it would be very embarrassing if he was surpassed by Kuzan, a junior.
“You don’t have to fight anymore.”
“The Djorakol Mihawk in the list is the Lone Ranger.”
“There is no information about him yet.”
Kong Jian Luo Yan and the others argued back and forth, so he proposed a compromise plan:
“Each person is responsible for capturing two Wu Hai candidates.”
“Whoever completes the operation first will be responsible for capturing Jorakoll Mihawk. That’s it.”
“By the way, if possible, try to catch them alive.”
“Only by publicly executing these pirates can we deter this great pirate era to the greatest extent possible.”
He made the decision without giving them time to discuss it.
Sora then pulled out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket, contacted the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and obtained detailed information on the list of Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Not long.
Deputy Director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
Heavenly government.
He personally delivered a stack of intelligence to the round table conference room.
“A great swordsman with two swords?”
Luo Yan picked up John’s information and a hint of interest appeared on his face.
As a great pirate who has been active since the time of Rocks, the Navy has collected very comprehensive information about John.
Whether it’s abilities, personality, equipment, combat records, or even the latest whereabouts.
Every aspect, no matter how big or small.
It’s all on record.
“The user of the teleportation fruit ability.”
“Silver Axe.”
It s really scary!
Borsalino relied on his hand speed to get one step ahead of Kuzan and snatch the information about Silver Axe.
“You snatched up the two most powerful ones in one fell swoop.”
“In that case, the Hanafuda will be mine.”
Kuzan saw that he was a step behind, so he had no choice but to choose the less famous Hanafuda:
“And Moonlight Moriah too.”
He picked up the information about Gekko Moriah and found out that both of them were currently in the New World, so he decided to catch them all in one fell swoop.
“San Juan the Wolf.”
“180 meters.”
“Even bigger than the ancient giants!”
Borsalino clenched his chin.
San Juan the Wolf had already caught his attention.
As for the locations of Silver Axe and San Juan Wolf, they were so far apart that he didn’t care at all.
After all, in terms of speed alone, Borsalino admits that he is second, but no one dares to claim to be first.
“Then I will take care of Crocodile.”
Seeing that Kuzan and Borsalino had already been chosen, Luo Yan set his sights on Crocodile.
He looked at the current location of the two people.
After finalizing their respective goals, Luo Yan and the other two did not stay any longer and got up and left.
As several people left one after another and Sakaski hung up the video call, the legendary navy of the old era was left in the huge round table conference room.
“This is the first time I’ve seen them working together like this.”
Zefa watched Luo Yan and others leave before he said with a smile.
“I didn’t expect that the special appointment of Luo Yan as the admiral of the navy would have such an effect.”
The air in his voice revealed a hint of surprise.
Before, he had a headache as the Admiral of the Navy.
This term’s three admiral candidates are strong, but their personalities and sense of justice are extreme. They are not like Sengoku, Monkey D. Garp, and Zephyr, who are like-minded and have deep feelings for each other.
After some incidents, he even worried that Sakaski, Kuzan and Borsalino would cause internal strife.
“It’s mainly because Kuzan and the others are too similar.”
“When they were in the military academy, they were known as monsters. After graduation, they all obtained top-level natural devil fruits, which made the three of them unyielding to each other.”
“The appearance of Luo Yan just happened to become a heavenly sword across their heads, bringing them together.”
Zhan Guo saw the reason.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to get the three generals to stand in the team.
Without achievements, strength and character that surpass those of the three, it would be impossible for Sakaski and others to stand on Luo Yan’s side.
Even though the three of them were very resistant to the Seven Warlords system.
In the final analysis, it was because Luo Yan’s Heavenly Sword was too sharp and could suppress the three general candidates.
“The four admirals of the navy, led by Tian Jian.”
“Before, you were worried that Kuzan and the others would quarrel among themselves, but now Luo Yan is there to suppress them. They can’t quarrel among themselves even if they want to.”
“You don’t even need to worry about the next Marshal.”
That s exactly what I m most worried about.
“When Luo Yan was first appointed as the general, I thought he would be at odds with Sakaski and the others. After all, Luo Yan was promoted to the general right after he arrived, while Sakaski and the others are still candidates for general.”
“But I never thought that a system of Shichibukai would bring them together to one table.”
Sora’s tone revealed some worry.
Zefa was a little confused.
It s a good thing.
“But didn’t you notice it just now?”
“Luo Yan is really too aggressive. I’m worried that the navy’s scabbard won’t be able to hold his heavenly sword.”
He is the admiral of the navy, and his perspective on issues is completely different from that of Garp, Sengoku and others.
It is certainly not comparable to Zefa Nengbi, who has retired and focused on education.
“A Celestial Dragon?”
As soon as Zhan Guo said this, the atmosphere in the round table conference room suddenly became heavy.
They know better than anyone how despicable the Celestial Dragons are.
Even though it has always kept its distance from the Celestial Dragons, the Marine Headquarters is ultimately a direct subsidiary of the World Government.
There will always be a time when the two intersect.
When they thought about Luo Yan meeting the Celestial Dragons, they understood why Kong was so worried.
After all, the navy’s Sky Sword is just as unstoppable when it’s slaying pirates, and just as unstoppable when it’s pointing at the Celestial Dragons.
Chapter 26: The Heavenly Sword is Unsheathed! The Sword is Pointed at John (Please give flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old Version)
Different from the dull atmosphere in the round table meeting room.
After leaving the meeting room, Luo Yan, Kuzan, and Borsalino were all talking and laughing.
“Alalalalalal! How about we make a bet?”
“The slowest one pays.”
Eating, hot springs and bars, all in one place.
Kuzan looked like he was full of energy and passion.
This is completely different from his later pursuit of lazy justice, where he was listless all day long.
“How can I let you spend money?”
Borsalino’s eyes lit up.
With the ability of his fruit, it would be really difficult for him to lose if he wanted to win.
“I hope you can be as confident as you are now when you pay the bill.”
Kuzan was not to be outdone.
“Brother, what are you thinking about?”
Borsalino was about to retort, but he saw Luo Yan looking like a quiet and handsome man.
I m just trying to figure out where to eat ahead of time.
Luo Yan chuckled.
Although he had become financially independent after killing Shiqi, he certainly would not refuse if someone wanted to treat him to a meal.
“I let you take the lead in the matter of the Admiral. I will never let you take the lead again this time.”
Kuzan and Borsalino looked at each other.
When they were in military school, they were already hailed as monsters.
Which one of them doesn t have lofty ambitions?
Plus, I m still young, and my passion hasn t completely faded yet.
Naturally, I don t want to fall behind others.
“Then you have to work hard.”
Seeing Gion walking towards him, Luo Yan stopped the topic.
“Uncle.”
Not only Gion, but also Sen Taomaru came along.
“Zhan Taomaru, how many times have I told you this?”
“I am very young.”
“Can’t you learn from Xiao Zhiyuan and weigh the plants while you’re at work?”
Borsalino looked at Gion, then at Zhan Taomaru, and couldn’t help but sigh.
“I see.”
“Yellow Monkey Plant.”
Zhan Taomaru scratched his head and said.
Luo Yan:
Kuzan:
Borsalino: “…”
Gion:
“I really lost to you.”
“You should just call me uncle!”
“Uncle Plant.”
Zhan Taomaru nodded.
“You, hey!”
Faced with Zhan Taomaru’s stubbornness, Borsalino was no longer able to explain.
At this time, Kuzan looked around:
“Where’s Smoker?”
“Ms. Gion.”
“Have you seen my useless subordinate?”
Seeing that Luo Yan and Borsalino’s adjutants came to greet their superiors, but his own adjutant was nowhere to be seen, Kuzan couldn’t help but ask Gion.
“He must have gone to the door to smoke.”
“That’s right.”
“Before leaving, Smoker asked me to tell you, Mr. Kuzan, that you can come to his office after the meeting.”
Gion tells the truth.
This guy!
“Who is the adjutant? Who is the boss?”
Kuzan has a toothache.
He was quite proud of himself when he saw Borsalino being defeated by Zhan Taomaru just now.
After all, whether in terms of strength, fruit ability, or appearance, his adjutant Smoker is better than Zhan Taomaru.
Smoker actually dared to leave his post and go smoke during a meeting of the Round Table level.
Moreover, as his boss, I have to go find him.
Borsalino couldn’t help laughing.
He suddenly felt that Zhan Taowan was pretty good.
Although he is stubborn, he is obedient and listens to instructions.
At least he wouldn’t be like Smoker, who abandoned his boss and went off to smoke and do nothing.
When Luo Yan saw this, he was indescribably satisfied with his adjutant.
Swordsmanship is good for fighting.
Domineering and capable of fighting.
The appearance is good.
Good fighting physique.
It is also a super large car that is three meters tall.
Even more than the eight-foot-tall lady.
Compared to Smoker’s troublesome personality and Zhan Taomaru’s stubbornness, they are simply beaten in all aspects.
“Yes, General Luo Yan.”
Gion is always there.
Under the slightly envious gazes of Kuzan and Borsalino, he followed Luo Yan closely.
After leaving the naval building, Gion realized that Luo Yan was heading towards the inner bay, so he couldn’t help but ask.
“Are we going to sea?”
Speaking of going out to sea, Gion’s eyebrows revealed a hint of eagerness to try.
Although we went to sea during internship in military academy, internship and actual combat are two completely different things.
As a woman determined to become the first female admiral of the Navy Headquarters, she was not at all nervous about the upcoming sea expedition, but was simply eager to get started.
After all, not every navy can reach the top in one step like Luo Yan.
To become a naval admiral, one must have the strength to surpass all others, unparalleled military achievements, and prestige that overwhelms the entire army; these three are indispensable.
“I accepted a mission.”
“Take care of the two pirates.”
Luo Yan handed over the intelligence information about John and Crocodile.
“Captain John.”
“Salmon Crocodile.”
“These are all great pirates who are famous in the New World!”
When Gion took the information and looked at it, her beautiful eyes sparkled and she looked eager to make progress.
“The ice continent.”
“The intelligence from the Criminal Investigation Bureau said that Captain John intends to go to the Ice Continent. Why does he want to go to a place like that with ice and snow and no one living there, instead of being the king of the New World?”
Seeing that the intelligence said that John’s last appearance was in the Ice Continent, she frowned slightly, a little puzzled.
“Who knows?”
“General Luo Yan, aren’t you curious at all?”
Seeing that Luo Yan looked uninterested, Zhiyuan couldn’t help but ask.
A pirate with such a great reputation and who values money more than anything else, instead of plundering in the New World, runs to the uninhabited Ice Continent. This is problematic no matter how you look at it.
“Who would be curious about a dead man’s thoughts?”
Luo Yan chuckled, and his words revealed a sword-like aura that looked down on the world.
“That’s Captain John!”
“Before the Great Pirate Age, he was the greatest pirate after Roger, Ski and Newgate!”
“According to the evaluation of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, in terms of swordsmanship alone, Captain John is a two-sword master who is not much inferior to Ski.”
Feeling the arrogant sword force coming towards him, Gion, who is also a swordsman, far from thinking that Luo Yan is arrogant, her heart was slightly shaken, and a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan just smiled and did not comment further.
Seeing this, Gion didn’t say anything else, but took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and contacted the navy in Neiwan.
By the time they arrived at the dock, the navy stationed in the inner bay had already prepared all the warships and supplies for going out to sea.
Of course, there is also the accompanying navy.
Of course it is impossible for a general to travel with only an adjutant.
A warship with configuration superior to the Demon Slayer class.
More than a thousand elite officers who are well-equipped and proficient in domineering tactics.
and the navy of various occupations.
For example, navigator, ship repairman, helmsman, etc.
At the same time.
Two warships anchored in the inner bay also set sail one after another.
Heading in three different directions.
In addition to the Navy Headquarters’ sharpest Heavenly Sword being unsheathed, Borsalino and Kuzan also set out on the expedition.
Together, we point our swords at the Great Pirate Era.
Chapter 27 Sword Opens the Ice Curtain! Green Pepper Crashes into the Mountain (Please give me flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old Version)
The snow was falling heavily, and the sky and the earth were covered in white, as if wrapping the great route with a thick layer of silver gauze.
Even on the rough sea, there are many thick ice blocks floating.
Perhaps because the sailing route is too cruel, you can even see some ship wreckage on the sea from time to time.
Just at this moment.
A warship armed to the teeth, like a steel behemoth, cut through the sea surface, smashed the ice, and advanced step by step towards the endless ice and snow continent ahead.
“We have reached the ice continent.”
Gion withdrew his gaze from the Ice Continent, turned around and walked over to Luo Yan, who was lying on a beach chair reading a newspaper.
Although it was snowing and windy, she still wore her usual refreshing outfit.
She was wearing a pink sleeveless top, which was almost bursting because her conscience was so large.
She wore a pair of tight shorts and a pair of black high heels starting at 20 cm, which showed off her already slender long legs to the fullest.
With a coat of justice, she looks charming and dignified, yet heroic.
“Pull the boat over.”
“After landing, we will be in groups of 20.”
“Once you discover the whereabouts of the John Pirates, you must not act on your own and report immediately.”
Luo Yan gave orders while reading the newspaper.
Even for a naval admiral, his daily life after going to sea can only be described as simple and plain.
Either reading the newspaper or fishing.
The only thing that catches the eye is Gion.
Every time the other person walked past me, it was like the world’s top female model walking on the catwalk.
Indescribably pleasing to the eye.
Fortunately, Luo Yan’s warship had its own power system, and it was sailing in the calm belt, so it only took five days to reach the Ice Continent from the Navy Headquarters.
If it were any other ship.
It will take at least ten days to half a month, or even longer.
“yes!”
Upon hearing this, Gion immediately carried out the order.
After learning of Luo Yan’s order, everyone from officers to lieutenants were ready to go and prepared to land at any time.
As the warship approached the shore, everyone heard loud noises like muffled thunder coming from the interior of the ice continent.
The landing navy raised their guns and drew their swords, thinking they had encountered a sea king.
Gion stood at the front, her beautiful eyes flashing red, as if she sensed something.
“Southeast, about 4 kilometers, there is a human presence.”
“135 people in total.”
As the only woman in the headquarters with the qualifications of a general, even though she just graduated from the military academy not long ago, the range of her observation Haki is still very large.
“Is it John?”
After hearing this, Luo Yan became interested.
It was really unexpected that I found the real culprit right after arriving at the Ice Continent.
Gion took the Moon Step, and it was as if he was walking on an invisible staircase in the void, climbing all the way up to the hundred-meter sky, and then he looked out.
What comes into view is the snowy sky that blocks out the sun and towering icebergs.
Nothing else can be seen.
I can t see clearly.
“The ice continent is full of icebergs and snow.”
The visibility is too low.
Gion floated down and shook his head.
I see!
After hearing this, Luo Yan nodded slightly and immediately reached for the hilt of the knife at his waist.
The roar of dragons and the sound of swords echoed across the sea.
The blazing sword light shot straight into the sky.
Under the god-like gazes of the navy, a flash of sword light shot up into the sky like a dragon emerging from the sea, crashing into the wind and snow barrier surrounding the ice mountain.
With a deafening roar, the cold snow and wind that covered the sky like a curtain of heaven before their eyes split into two like a birthday cake being cut in half.
The ice and snow that filled the sky and lingered on the earth were retreating towards the center of the continent at an alarming speed, as if the screen of a movie was pressed in reverse.
Originally, visibility was extremely low. Even with Gion’s eyesight, he could only see the ice continent about a hundred meters away. In an instant, it looked brand new.
The ice and snow dissipated.
The cold wind receded.
Clear vision.
A vast ice continent with extremely high visibility comes into view.
“Is this General Luo Yan’s swordsmanship?”
“One sword cuts back the blizzard.”
“It’s even more terrifying than the rumors say!”
“No wonder Marshal Kong made an exception and appointed him as the admiral of the navy.”
This scene left all the witnesses stunned and dumbfounded.
Even Gion had a dazed look in her beautiful eyes, looking unbelievable.
The blizzard that covers the ice continent and never recedes is the power of nature.
But Luo Yan’s sword can actually shake the power of heaven.
“And now?”
“Can you see clearly?”
Luo Yan put Ying Shi back into the scabbard with his backhand.
“He is the 12th generation pillar of the Babao Navy.”
“Flower Pepper.”
“He seems to be hitting the mountain.”
Gion stepped into the air and looked around, only to find that the vision was extremely clear.
With her eyesight, even without a telescope, she has better vision than an eagle in the sky.
“Isn’t it John?”
After learning that it was not John, Luo Yan was a little disappointed.
He didn’t really care whether he could be the first to wipe out the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
After all, he is already an admiral of the navy. Even if he wipes out all the pirates on the list of Seven Warlords of the Sea by himself, it is impossible for him to be promoted to the marshal of the navy in the near future.
The reason for his disappointment was that there was no opponent strong enough to test his sword against.
After all, five days had passed since he obtained the Sword of Across Worlds.
In two days, new Kendo skills will be signed in.
If you have a big move but can’t use it, you will inevitably feel itchy.
“General Luo Yan, do you want to arrest Qing Jiao?”
Gion’s eyebrows were eager to try.
Cone of green pepper.
Eight years ago, a bounty of 542 million berries was offered for this pirate.
Even when the naval hero Monkey D. Garp personally tried to capture him, he was eventually able to escape.
Naturally, she didn’t want to miss this tremendous military achievement.
“Since we met on the way, let’s deal with it together!”
Luo Yan nodded.
Although he is not Captain John, he is still a pirate with a bounty of over 500 million, and is barely qualified to serve as his sword-tester.
“All troops ready for battle.”
At Gion’s command, all the navy officers took up combat stances.
Perhaps it was because they had witnessed the sword cutting through the snowstorm with their own eyes, when they learned that they were going to fight against the green peppers of the Babao Navy, instead of being nervous, they held their heads high and their morale was high.
Baoyu is under the iceberg.
Qingjiao wrapped the Armament Haki around his sunken head and hit the iceberg again and again like a rocket.
There were loud roars and explosions continuously.
The nearby icebergs were affected and even an avalanche occurred.
Despite being hit by such fierce and powerful headbutts one after another, there was not a single crack on the jade iceberg, and it still appeared indestructible.
“ah!”
“Damn it Garp!”
“It’s all because of you, you bastard, that I can no longer get the treasure out of the iceberg!”
“I will definitely kill you!”
“And your descendants.”
After repeatedly hitting it hundreds of times and still failing to break the precious jade iceberg, Qingjiao’s eyes turned red, his expression became ferocious, and he looked like a demon, howling towards the sky.
The navy members around were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they held their breath, fearing that they would become the target of anger.
no way.
Qing Jiao has been at sea for decades, and all the treasures he has looted are sealed in this precious jade iceberg in front of him.
Until now, only the cone head of the green pepper can be opened.
But after the battle with Monkey D. Garp 8 years ago, his head was dented, just like a sword was broken, and he could no longer break through the precious iceberg.
Even so, Qingjiao still comes to the Ice Continent once a year and crashes into the mountains for several days at a time.
During this period, all the navy troops knew that Qingjiao’s temper would become extremely violent, and he even killed many of his subordinates because of his anger.
After all, the treasure is right in front of you but you can’t get it.
For green peppers, it is simply the cruelest torture in the world.
Chapter 28: Just a domineering color, I can completely suppress it with my momentum (please give flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
That s strange.
“The blizzard has stopped!”
This is the first time I ve seen this.
Cai Wu, the twelfth-generation deputy pillar of the Babao Navy, looked around and found that the blizzard that had filled the sky and earth and was as dense as an ice curtain had suddenly subsided.
Just as he was thinking carefully, a thunderous roar interrupted his thoughts.
“Bastard Garp!”
Qingjiao roared continuously, his hair and beard flying, like an angry lion, exuding a terrifying aura.
He jumped up, with armed color domineering wrapped around his head, and slammed heavily into the iceberg like a mad dragon.
The towering precious jade iceberg was hit, causing the mountain to tremble and stir up rolling snow waves, but the mountain was not shattered, not even a crack appeared.
Qingjiao fell backwards to the ground, looking at the towering precious jade iceberg. Through the mountain, he could even vaguely see the gold, silver and jewels hidden in the mountain.
This gap of ice stopped him here for eight years.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the more I hate it.
Fiery anger.
Overwhelming hatred.
This makes the green pepper look like a runaway, mad sea king, which is scary.
Cai Wu, Qingjiao’s most trusted deputy and deputy pillar, caught a glimpse of the navy rushing from a distance out of the corner of his eye.
“A pillar.”
“It’s the Navy!”
Cai Wu’s face darkened.
He didn’t expect that there would be a navy in this uninhabited snowy area.
“navy!”
When Qingjiao, who was already furious, heard the word “navy”, veins on his forehead bulged like a dragon, and he looked like an evil demon Shura.
He suddenly turned his head and looked behind him with a ferocious look.
Led by Luo Yan and Zhi Yuan, thousands of navy soldiers deployed their troops and pressed forward with great momentum.
“That man, he’s the admiral of the navy.”
“Heavenly Sword.”
Cai Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression changed drastically after recognizing Luo Yan’s identity.
“What admiral? Except for Garp, the others are not worth mentioning at all.”
After hearing this, the furious Qingjiao showed a disdainful look.
Most pirates have a common problem, which is that they all have a mentality of being invincible.
Green peppers are so so.
This was the case with the supernova generation of Monkey D. Luffy.
The same is true for other big pirates.
Because of this, whether they are facing the Four Emperors or the admirals, before the fight, they will often choose to confront them head-on and not back down.
For example, Eustace Kidd, whether he was challenging Kaido or Charlotte Linlin, before the fight, he really never thought that he would lose.
Even after being hit on the head by Monkey D. Garp, Pepper in his prime only slightly restrained his arrogance.
He believes that Monkey D. Garp is the only capable fighter among the navy.
The only marine who could make him feel intimidated was Monkey D. Garp.
The rest of the navy, from the marshals and admirals to the generals, lieutenants and soldiers, none of them could fight.
“Admiral of the Navy, right?”
“I’m just so angry that I don’t know where to vent it.”
“Since your navy hero Garp has ruined my dream of getting rich, then you, the navy admiral, will have to pay with your life!”
Qingjiao’s eyes, as ferocious as a ghost, stared straight at Luo Yan.
As a bright light appeared in his eyes, a domineering aura that made the air tremble spread out in all directions like a storm.
Many sailors who were holding knives and raising guns in a fighting posture felt as if the back of their heads were struck by lightning. The intense dizziness and suffocation made their eyes roll back and they felt dizzy.
Qingjiao hadn’t even made a move yet, but with just her domineering aura, she was able to make hundreds of sailors faint and fall to the ground.
“How rude!”
Facing the overwhelming and domineering aura like a storm, Luo Yan shook his head without making any move. The navy and the Babao navy present all heard the deafening sound of swords like the roar of dragons and tigers.
The mighty torrent of power that had originally spread out in all directions suddenly appeared like a cracked mirror falling to the ground, exploding into horrifying cracks.
The next second, everyone heard a loud shattering sound like thunder.
It seemed as if something was cut off.
Those who were not stunned by the domineering aura still felt difficulty breathing when facing Qingjiao’s domineering aura. The navy, who were like carrying mountains, felt their whole body lighten, as if a huge burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
The sword force spread out, and the Babao navy who were covered by it let out sharp screams one after another.
It was as if he was stabbed by a sharp blade and cut into pieces.
They crawled on the ground, rolled left and right, and stroked their bodies up and down with their hands.
“impossible!”
“This is not Domineering Haki at all!”
When Qingjiao, who was originally extremely angry, saw this scene, a trace of surprise appeared on his face like an angry lion.
“Nothing to be surprised about!”
“It’s just a domineering look. I can completely suppress it with my aura.”
Luo Yan smiled indifferently.
“Just using momentum?”
“How could such a ridiculous thing happen?”
“How could something as intangible as aura be able to defeat my domineering Haki?”
He shook his head repeatedly in disbelief.
But the facts before him forced Qingjiao to believe it.
Whether it was the exploding Domineering aura, or the Eight Treasures navy soldiers rolling on the ground as if they were stabbed several times, all of them told him that Luo Yan had cut off his Domineering aura with just his momentum.
“The swordsman’s aura can actually defeat the Conqueror’s Haki head-on?”
Gion was also shocked when he saw this scene.
This is the king’s qualification that only one person among millions of people possesses.
Unexpectedly, he was no match for the sword’s force.
It was like just millet and rifles defeating an iron army composed of tanks and planes. How could she not be moved?
“Navy brat.”
Qing Jiao, who was originally furious, suddenly calmed down a little.
Luo Yan didn’t say anything, but just reached out and grasped the hilt of the wooden sword at his waist.
“Don’t you have a mouth?”
When Qingjiao saw this, her face turned cold.
Even Monkey D. Garp didn’t dare to ignore him back then.
“The dead don’t need to remember my name.”
Luo Yan reached out and pulled out the wood.
Arrogant!
“Who do you think you are?”
“Even your naval heroes wouldn’t dare speak to me like that!”
Green peppers are full of domineering aura.
He was originally angry at Luo Yan, who was also a navy member, because of Monkey D. Garp.
Faced with Luo Yan’s contempt, he became even more murderous.
In a rage, Qingjiao aimed at killing someone as soon as he attacked.
“Eight Punches “Dragon Cone Nail Green Pepper Opens the Door”!”
Qingjiao roared, and the armed color domineering surged out like a tide, wrapping around his head and hardening it.
He strode forward like a tiger descending from a mountain, with a powerful domineering aura bursting out of his body. He pounced in front of Luo Yan, then raised his head and struck him with a hammer.
Relying on his height advantage of over 5 meters, it was like he was carrying a mountain and smashing down on Rosen from above.
Facing Qingjiao’s headbutt that exploded with the domineering and armed colors at the first attack, Luo Yan calmly raised his sword to block it.
As the swords collided, both the navy and the Babao navy found that their vision suddenly darkened, as if the space within a radius of hundreds of meters was filled with violent domineering aura.
With wave after wave of powerful impacts like heavy rain and strong winds surging in all directions, the thick ice field under the feet of the two men could not bear it at all, and immediately cracked into a huge and deep fissure.
The rolling white mist of icy air, carrying a large amount of ice chips, rushed straight into the sky, creating a huge ice cloud like a mushroom cloud that lingered for a long time.
Chapter 29: A Sword Across Worlds! Instantly Cut Green Peppers (Please give flowers, collect, and comment) (Old version)
“Apart from Garp, I didn’t expect there are other decent people in the navy.”
“You can take my blow.”
“Looking at the Navy Headquarters, you have enough to be proud of.”
Qingjiao looked at Luo Yan in front of him, who was holding the sword in one hand and steadily catching his Eight Punch “Cone Dragon Cone Nail Qingjiao Opens the Door” without using any domineering power. He was a little surprised.
You know, even Garp had to use the Armament Haki to wrap and harden his fist before he dared to take his Eight Punch.
“I’ll only give you five seconds.”
“In five seconds.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t keep you company.”
Luo Yan held the sword in one hand and steadily suppressed Qingjiao’s domineering headbutt.
“Who do you think I am?”
When Qingjiao heard this, his hair and beard flew like a lion’s sideburns, and his whole body burst into a domineering aura like a storm.
In extreme rage, he raised his foot and cracked the ice beneath his feet, stepping out a pit covered with spider web cracks. Then he flew into the sky like a roc spreading its wings.
Above the clouds, Qingjiao burst out with the maximum level of Armament Haki in one breath, wrapping it around his head. At the same time, his Conqueror Haki was like a tornado, raging across the sky.
“The secret of the Eight Punch Fist is ‘No Cone Dragon, No Cone Nail’!”
With a deafening roar that echoed throughout the universe, Qingjiao fell from the sky like a meteorite, carrying with him an armed aura as fast as lightning, and struck down at Luo Yan on the ice field from a condescending posture.
“One sword separates the worlds!”
Luo Yan looked up at the sky. Facing the green peppers falling from the sky, he slowly held the sword in his hand in front of him and drew a line across the sword with his left hand.
The sword rang out into the sky, echoing in all directions.
Under the shocked gazes of the navy and the Babao Navy in the distance, a red sword light, like the laser beam of Borsalino, the user of the Flash Fruit, burst out from the tip of the Mu Ku sword in Luo Yan’s hand.
It’s like holding a laser blade in the palm of your hand.
What was even more terrifying was that as the sword of Mu Ku extended a laser-like red sword light, the air in front was like a pierced lake, presenting circular atmospheric ripples.
?
There were bursts of shrill sounds, as if the atmosphere was wailing.
Creepy.
“What a swordsmanship this is!”
Gion’s beautiful eyes narrowed and her pretty face turned pale with horror.
Putting aside the previous time when Luo Yan used sword pressure to disperse the blizzard, this was the first time she witnessed her boss using a sword.
Before this, although she had heard more than once about Luo Yan’s powerful swordsmanship, it was not until this moment, when she witnessed it with her own eyes, that she realized that the strength of his swordsmanship was beyond the scope of what could be described in words and writing.
This is simply not a sword technique that humans in the pirate world can possess.
“Is he a monster?”
Qing Jiao, who was coming down from the clouds, also saw this scene.
As he was facing a sword that separated him from his former self, he was so excited that the hairs on his body stood up and his face was filled with horror.
Once the secret of the Eight-punch Fist, “No Cone Dragon, No Cone Nail”, is used, even he himself cannot stop it by force.
At this time, Qingjiao could only bite the bullet and gather all the domineering impact of the Eight Chong Fist on his head, then blast it towards Luo Yan.
Luo Yan raised the sword with one arm, and a slender sword light like a red ray rose up and slashed towards the sky.
It is entangled with the secret of the Eight Punch Fist, which is like jagged lightning.
The red sword light pierced through the atmosphere like a laser.
Under the gaze of hundreds of tense and anxious eyes, the sword that came from bottom to top collided with the eight-punch punch that came down with the power of nine heavens.
Along with a deafening roar that shook the earth, a gust of air like a missile explosion came along with the freezing air, forming a white wave that spread in all directions.
Wherever the air wave passed, countless towering icebergs and rock-hard ice rocks were all shattered and then turned into ice and snow fragments, which were carried by the air wave and rushed straight into the sky.
Even the ice continent could not withstand the struggle between the two men. It cracked and shattered under the violent vibration, forming bottomless ice ravines.
Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like canyons have appeared out of nowhere.
Just as everyone was shocked by the power conflict between Luo Yan and Qing Jiao, Mu Ku, who was in a stalemate with Qing Jiao’s head, suddenly enlarged the slender sword light on the sword tip, like a sword curtain, submerging Qing Jiao.
“Please catch him alive!”
Seeing this, Gion on the side remembered Marshal Kong’s instructions and quickly reminded him.
There is an unwritten rule in the Navy Headquarters.
That is to capture pirates with a bounty of over 100 million, and try to capture them alive if conditions permit.
Compared to beheading pirates in an unknown corner, only public execution or imprisonment in Impel Prison can shock the world to the greatest extent.
Before Gion finished his words, the shuddering sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh had already spread across the ice continent.
“Pillar!”
The deputy pillar Cai Wu’s eyes widened, and he looked as if he was about to burst into tears.
Not just him.
All the members of the Eight Treasures Navy present were furious.
It was because the ray-shaped red sword light disappeared immediately after it spread out.
Everyone saw the horrifying scene.
As Luo Yan swung his sword and chopped, the green pepper fell rapidly with the force of a mountain, starting from the shoulder, then to the torso, and finally to the right foot.
The whole person was split into two.
Scarlet blood splashed across the sky.
The two broken pieces fell to the ground.
Bounty: 542 million berries.
Green Pepper once escaped from the fists of the naval hero Monkey D. Garp.
Cut in half by a sword.
As Qingjiao’s body fell to the ground, a belated and shrill wail came out of its mouth.
Viscous blood flowed out from the two remains of the body, dyeing the ground red.
“My, my treasure!”
Being cut in half by a sword and on the verge of life and death, Qingjiao, crawling in a pool of blood, was still obsessed with the treasure in Baoyu’s iceberg.
“Do you really want to split the iceberg?”
Luo Yan swung his sword.
A red sword light flashed out like a laser beam.
The precious jade iceberg, which had withstood the aftermath of the previous collision and remained motionless, was now swept by the sword light, and a thin red line flashed on the towering mountain.
Ever since Qingjiao was hit on the head by Monkey D. Garp, the precious jade iceberg that had been opened for 8 years was still impossible to open. Luo Yan split it into two with a casual sword.
before.
Even when the head is still in a pointed cone shape, Qingjiao can only cut a gap in the precious jade iceberg with all his strength.
But now, Luo Yan flicked his sword and the entire jade iceberg was cut off at the root.
From the top of the mountain to the foot, it split into two halves, splitting into an ice canyon.
As the iceberg broke open, a large amount of gold, silver and treasures sealed inside the Baoyu Iceberg were able to see the light of day again.
“My treasure!”
Qingjiao’s breathing became rapid, and his pale face turned a strange blood red.
With one of his limbs and right leg removed and only half of his body left, he actually clawed a bloody path on the ground and crawled forward, trying to grab his treasure.
“It’s my treasure.”
Luo Yan’s words were like the terrifying sword light just now, piercing into Qing Jiao’s heart and causing him to freeze in place as he crawled forward.
He had been able to survive with the support of his dream of getting rich, but a heart-piercing remark drained away his last bit of strength.
Chapter 30: Completely Destroy the Eight Treasures Navy (Please give me flowers, please add me to your collection, please give me comments!) (Old version)
Cai Wu looked at Qing Jiao lying dead on the spot, his eyes red, like a mad beast.
Without waiting for him to take any action, Luo Yan’s words immediately made the navy present become extremely motivated.
“Destroy all the Eight Treasures navy.”
“Half the treasure here.”
“You split it equally.”
As soon as Luo Yan said this, the navy, whose mission was to capture pirates, all had their eyes shining, like a group of hungry lions seeing their prey.
“kill!”
Gion drew out the famous sword Konpila from his waist, took the lead, and stopped Cai Wu, who was furious and wanted to avenge Qingjiao.
The air was filled with murderous intent as hundreds of sailors lined up and charged forward.
Even though they only earn a few hundred berries a month, as the navy of the headquarters, they still have to fight desperately to suppress pirates when they encounter them.
Not risking your life for a few hundred bucks.
You have to know that Qingjiao has accumulated treasures for more than ten years. Even if everyone divides it equally in half, each person can get at least hundreds of thousands of berries, or even more.
Because what is sealed in the precious iceberg is not berry, but gold and jewels.
This is different from the navy where morale is high.
Because they witnessed Qing Jiao being killed by Luo Yan with one sword, except for a few members, most people’s fighting spirit was very low.
After all, the sword just now cut off Qingjiao’s life, but it also cut off their will to fight.
On one side is the navy with high morale, and on the other side is the depressed Hachiman navy. In addition, Gion is the only one with a sword and is leading the way.
With just a few moves, he killed the deputy pillar Cai Wu, and then plunged into the numerous Eight Treasures navy like a tiger into a flock of sheep, performing the pirate world version of seven ins and seven outs.
This also caused the Babao navy to be defeated in a very short period of time.
As the one-sided war came to an end and the battlefield was cleaned up, Gion came to report.
“Led by Dongliang Qingjiao, a total of 1,053 Eight Treasures navy soldiers were killed.”
Gion originally planned to leave some people alive, but he couldn’t stand the bloody battle of a thousand people for the first time.
She underestimated her own swordsmanship and overestimated the strength of the Babao Navy.
This also meant that no one survived her sword.
As for the other navy, in response to Luo Yan’s words “annihilate the Babao navy and divide the treasure equally”, they were like tigers out of their cages, and they started killing indiscriminately whenever they caught members of the Babao navy.
The Babao Navy ranges from the pillar Qing Jiao to the deputy pillar Cai Wu and down to the ordinary members.
None survived.
“Gion, you take 20%.”
“My share will be sent to the warship.”
“The rest, let everyone share it!”
Luo Yan fulfilled his promise.
After all, it was only the young peppers who generously donated money to reward the navy.
It’s not his billions of savings that he spent.
“Long live!”
Upon seeing this, some of the sailors who were lying on the ground gasping for breath due to serious injuries cheered and shouted, as if they had forgotten their bleeding and painful wounds.
This was different from following other generals and going hungry for nine meals in three days.
When we go into battle with Luo Yan, we will have enough to eat every meal!
“Don’t thank me.”
“Thank you, Green Pepper!”
“Of course, you should also thank yourselves.”
Luo Yan waved his hand and turned to walk towards the warship.
Since killing Shiki, he has been financially free, and being a navy admiral is a high-paying job with plenty of benefits.
It is no exaggeration to say that the annual salary of a general alone is an astronomical figure.
This is also why after leaving the navy, Zephyr casually established a huge “NE0 Navy” and had a group of war machines similar to those of the Pacifists.
There really is no admiral in the Navy Headquarters who is short of money.
“The injured should return to the warship to rest.”
“Those who are not injured, rest for half a day, and then search the ice continent.”
“Once you find any trace of the John Pirates, do not act on your own and report it immediately.”
After seeing blood, Gion became more resolute and decisive than before setting out to sea.
“Yes! Major Gion.”
As a navy officer with the qualifications of an admiral, Gion graduated from the military academy with the rank of major.
And he was a major in the headquarters, not a major in the branch.
This time he led the team to annihilate the Babao navy and killed the deputy pillar Cai Wu. When the news is passed back to the headquarters, he will at least be promoted to lieutenant colonel of the headquarters.
After arranging the aftermath, Gion stepped on the Six Styles: Shave, and flashed across the ice continent like an arrow, quickly catching up with Luo Yan.
“You seized the treasure of Green Pepper.”
“Just share it with everyone. I don’t need it.”
In Gion’s view, it was Luo Yan, not himself, who cut off the iceberg of Baoyu.
Distributing treasures to soldiers is also to boost morale.
For her, who aspires to become a naval admiral, money and other things are not important.
Compared to money, she loves swordsmanship and famous swords more.
“Do you know what I did before I joined the Navy?”
Luo Yan did not answer but asked instead.
“Bounty hunter.”
Gion didn’t know his boss’s past very well, but he knew it inside and out.
“Then do you know why I became a bounty hunter?”
Luo Yan continued to ask.
“Life?”
Gion thought about it and tried to speak.
“In addition to making a living, it is also to leave myself a way out.”
“For you now, the Navy Headquarters will pay for your food, clothing, housing and transportation.”
“But what if one day in the future, this department no longer pays for you?”
Luo Yan looked into Gion’s eyes.
Gion only felt that this topic contained a huge amount of information, which was not something a small major in the headquarters like him could understand.
“Haven’t you always said you wanted to be an admiral?”
“When you find that you cannot become an admiral in the Navy Headquarters in the future, these savings today may become your lifeline.”
When he said this, Luo Yan couldn’t help but think of Zefa.
After being backstabbed by the World Government.
It was because of the money he had saved for half his life that Zefa was able to quickly build the “NEO Navy” within one or two years.
Otherwise, even if he leaves the Navy Headquarters, he will end up becoming a bandit at sea.
Join the pirate camp.
“I, I don’t quite understand.”
Gion shook his head.
She had just reached the age of marriage, and was close friends with He, so he treated her as his younger sister.
I have never been exposed to the darkness of the navy, or the government.
Naturally, he would not understand the deeper meaning of Luo Yan’s words.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Just keep it.”
“Just consider it as my reward for your performance during this period and for killing the deputy pillar of the Eight Treasures Navy!”
Luo Yan patted Gion and did not pursue the topic any further.
When the other party finds out that the justice they uphold conflicts with the darkness of the world government, they will understand.
This is something that all navies must go through.
The higher the position you hold, the more unavoidable it is.
This is true of Sakaski, Kuzan, and Borsalino.
certainly.
Luo Yan is no exception.
Also because Gion was his adjutant and had the potential to become his right-hand man, he would confide in him and give him some advice.
If it were someone else, they would not give the other person a shot of prevention at all.
“Oh well!”
“Thank you very much.”
Upon hearing this, Gion could only nod and accept it.
However, she still remembered what Luo Yan had just said.
I plan to ask Crane after returning to the headquarters.
Chapter 31: How the Sect’s Patriarch Views the Sect’s Prodigy (Please give me flowers, collect it, and give me comments!) (Old version)
The sun sets, slowly sinking into the sky.
The navy sent to investigate the Ice Continent sent back news one after another.
The news reached Gion.
Because when she asked him questions about swordsmanship along the way, Luo Yan was generous with her guidance, and coupled with the heart-to-heart talk they had recently had, as an adjutant, she performed her job with dedication and responsibility.
“According to the news sent back by the soldiers, no trace of the John Pirates was found in the Ice Continent.”
“Apart from our warships and the ships of the Babao Navy, no other pirate ships were found.”
On the deck of the warship, Gion reported to Luo Yan.
“Is the intelligence from the Criminal Investigation Bureau wrong?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan raised his hand and knocked on the armrest of the beach chair.
After testing his sword on Qingjiao, although he was no longer as eager to destroy Captain John as before, since Kuzan and the other two stood on his side in opposing the Seven Warlords system, and Sora also supported him and was willing to confront the Five Elders, he certainly could not let Captain John go free.
“The news should be correct.”
“Sister He said that Mr. Tianzheng is very cautious in his dealings with others. If it is not absolutely safe, he will never report it to the headquarters.”
“Since the Investigation Bureau said that Captain John will go to the Ice Continent, then it can’t be wrong.”
Gion frowned slightly:
“I think it may be because our warship is traveling too fast.”
“The warship that our headquarters has equipped you, General Luo Yan, is far ahead of the Demon Slayer’s fleet in terms of both firepower and power.”
“The ships of the John Pirates are sailing ships powered by wind, unlike our warships, which have their own power.”
She paused for a moment, then offered her opinion.
Unlike Luo Yan, who started his career late and was appointed as a general as soon as he arrived.
Gion is a sailor who has received formal training at the Naval Academy, and has been brought up by Tsuru since he was a child, teaching him by example.
In addition to possessing the qualifications of a general, he had achieved maximum marks in all subjects while in military school.
It was with this in mind that Kong specially arranged for Gion to be the adjutant of Luo Yan, a student with only one subject, to make up for his deficiencies in military affairs.
After all, before joining the navy, Luo Yan went to sea alone on a ship. Apart from his mastery of swordsmanship and some knowledge of navigation, he had never been involved in other matters related to naval warfare.
“You mean the John Pirates are still behind us.”
After listening to this, Luo Yan also felt that Jiyuan’s analysis made sense.
“Whether it is true or not, we will know after waiting here for a few days.”
Gion didn’t say anything final.
“That’s settled then.”
“Three days.”
“If you still don’t see Captain John after three days, contact headquarters and see what they say.”
Before joining the Navy, he worked as a bounty hunter.
It is clear that the most difficult part of hunting pirates is not killing them, but finding them.
This is also one of the difficulties in ending the Great Pirate Era.
It is not easy to find a pirate group in the vast ocean, and the personal strength of the big pirates is comparable to that of human missiles.
It would be even more difficult to wipe out a pirate group in a naval battle.
Coupled with Gol D. Roger’s words before his death, the lure of the great secret treasure set off a craze for going to sea around the world.
It makes it even more difficult to end the Great Pirate Era.
Fortunately, the Navy has the Criminal Investigation Bureau, whose intelligence network covers the four seas and the Grand Line, and the World Government also has CIPHERPOL.
This is the only way to locate the whereabouts of major pirate forces even in the vast ocean.
Gion nodded, feeling both nervous and happy.
She was nervous because this was her analysis.
She was glad that Luo Yan accepted her suggestion.
After setting the three-day deadline, Gion did not just sit there and wait.
After witnessing Luo Yan’s sword that pierced through the universe and cut off Baoyu’s iceberg, as a swordsman, she was both shocked and amazed, and was also influenced by it and gained a new understanding of swordsmanship.
When she had nothing to do, she practiced swordplay on the deck.
Seeing that his adjutant wanted to make progress so much, Luo Yan would give him some pointers from time to time.
Although he has only signed four kendo skills so far, among them, Kenshin is still biased towards perception, similar to Observation Haki.
But because these four sword skills are all the pinnacle of different swordsmanship fields, his knowledge and insights on swordsmanship are far ahead of all swordsmen in the world of pirates.
Not to mention that Gion is still a rookie now, even if she becomes a candidate for general as in the original book, it would only take a few minutes for Luo Yan to guide her.
“Combine your Haki, slashing blows, and your Kinpila, and concentrate them all into the black sword.”
“Focus on one point, and stay focused.”
“Once you have done this, you will be able to slash your own sword through the world.”
Luo Yan gave a few pointers and explained some of the sword principles of the sword across the world, combining it with his understanding of Gion’s swordsmanship style.
Perhaps it was because he had always been treated with courtesy by all parties after joining the navy. In addition, the world of pirates was not like the world of Naruto next door, where there was always a tradition of killing the master to prove one’s truth.
Therefore, he also had some thoughts of cultivating the adjutant who served him wholeheartedly and was always at his service.
Just like when Garp faced Kuzan, and when Borsalino met Sen Taomaru.
Anyway, it’s just a powerful sword move, and it’s also part of the sword theory of “One Sword Across the Worlds”.
Let’s not talk about whether Gion can master it. Even if he can, its power can never be compared with his original sword.
Even though the power could catch up to his own Sword That Cuts Away the Worlds, Luo Yan would only gain one sword move like that every week.
Naturally, I wouldn’t take that little bit of sword theory to heart.
Of course, this is also because Gion is not an ungrateful person.
If it was the Navy King Coby, let alone teaching swordsmanship, he would not be able to take down the opponent with one sword, even if he was in a very good mood today.
“General Luo Yan, you.”
After hearing every word that Luo Yan said, Jiyuan’s heart was shocked and she looked at Luo Yan in disbelief.
Although she had asked Luo Yan for advice on swordsmanship many times, she had never intended to get involved in Luo Yan’s signature skills.
The other party actually passed a sword from across the world to him.
Even if it is only a part of the sword theory, for any swordsman, its value is no less than that of a great secret treasure.
Focus.
Before Jiyuan could express his gratitude, Luo Yan interrupted him:
“If you want to thank me, then practice your sword skills well.”
“Otherwise, it would be a waste of my words.”
He said lightly.
Gion concentrated and calmed his mind, hiding his gratitude to Luoyan in his heart, and then focused his mind on slashing and domineering.
“No wonder Garp, Dragon, and Rayleigh all cultivate their juniors.”
Plant a seedling with your own hands, water it, fertilize it, and watch it grow gradually.
This feeling isn t bad at all!
Luo Yan looked at Gion who was practicing sword in a serious manner, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
As a navy admiral, he looked at the young sprout in front of him that had the qualifications to be an admiral.
He could also somewhat understand how the sect’s ancestor felt when he saw the genius in his sect.
It is indeed something that cannot be told to outsiders.
Chapter 32: People sit by the sea, swordsmanship grows in their hearts! Weekly lottery: Crescent Moon Sky Chong (asking for flowers, collections, and comments!) (Old version)
Sunrise and sunset.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
After careful treatment by the ship’s doctor, plus the Navy’s per capita blood cow, there were also tons of sea king meat to supplement nutrition.
Except for a few sailors who were seriously injured and needed to rest in bed, almost all the sailors who participated in the battle to annihilate the Babao Navy have recovered their ability to move.
Some of those with less serious injuries were trained in the Ice Continent under the leadership of officers.
As for Luo Yan.
He sat on a chair and threw the baited hook into the sea where the bait had just been laid.
When other navy officers saw this scene, they thought it was Luo Yan’s unique way of cultivation.
Strictly speaking, this is also true.
Because this is indeed his unique way of becoming stronger.
After seeing the fishhook hanging into the sea, Luo Yan muttered to himself.
It took five days to reach the Ice Continent.
Plus we had to wait another two days on this icy island.
Exactly one day has passed since the last time I signed in.
Meets the weekly visa requirement.
?Ding! Sign in successfully. ?
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the sword move: Crescent Moon Sky Strike. ]The moment he signed in successfully, a lot of information emerged in Luo Yan’s mind.
After he received it, he mastered a new kendo move.
Crescent moon in the sky.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan switched out an attribute panel.
[Swordsmanship: Heaven-slashing swordsmanship, sword heart is clear, ten thousand swords return to their origin, one sword separates the worlds, crescent moon rushes into the sky. ]“Five kinds of sword skills have been used.”
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Luo Yan’s eyes.
The increase in the number of kendo skills does not only mean that his swordsmanship has been improved, but also means that when facing different types of strong opponents, he has more sufficient means to deal with them.
The strongest single unit, with the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique.
Perception assistance, with a clear sword mind.
Group attack, ten thousand swords return to their origin.
A combination of a basic attack and a big move, one sword to cut through the world.
In addition, we just got the flexible and changeable Crescent Moon Sky Chong in the weekly lottery.
Luo Yan’s arsenal of ultimate skills has begun to take shape. He no longer has to use only the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique and Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin as he did in the initial hunting of Shiji and the battle with Zefa.
When Luo Yan signed in at Yueya Tianchong, Gion, who was practicing sword, seemed to notice something. He turned his head suddenly, and stared at Luo Yan who was fishing with his red eyes.
“Why do I feel this way?”
“He seems to have suddenly become stronger than before.”
She looked straight at Luo Yan, feeling confused and uncertain.
Whether it was the perception of Observation Haki or the swordsman’s vision and intuition, everything told Gion.
This is not an illusion.
But if it wasn’t an illusion, why did Luo Yan, who was already at the top of the swordsmen, suddenly improve his swordsmanship so much without any training or experience of any extreme battles?
Is it possible that there are people sitting on the beach, thinking of swordsmanship, and doing such ridiculous things?
Bulu Bulu
Just when Gion was puzzled, the sound of Den Den Mushi suddenly came from his pocket.
“I’m Gion.”
She took out her Den Den Mushi and answered the call.
“Report.”
“Major Gion.”
“We found traces of the John Pirates, about 80 kilometers southwest of the warship.”
The voice of a marine came from Den Den Mushi.
In order to search for John’s pirate group and lock down their whereabouts as soon as they appear.
Gion dispatches several speedboats every day to monitor the sea area within a radius of 100 miles, with the Ice Continent as the center.
This is a warship tailor-made for Luo Yan by the Navy Headquarters.
It is not produced by the Carrera Company of Seven Waters, but is produced in the Bank Forbidden Zone.
In addition to the warship’s advanced power and weapons, it is also equipped with several speedboats for search, rescue, and reconnaissance.
“All naval patrols, withdraw immediately.”
Gion was delighted when he heard this.
After waiting for two full days, John’s pirate group still did not show up.
Unexpectedly, just when he was thinking that he had made a wrong judgment, the John Pirates showed up.
Knowing that the John Pirates were too powerful for the patrolling navy to handle, she immediately recalled the navy that were out.
A voice came from the Den Den Mushi and then the call was hung up.
Speedboats that went out for reconnaissance came back from all directions at full speed like birds returning to their nests.
Gion also sheathed the Konpila and went to report to Rosen.
“The whereabouts of John’s pirate group have been discovered.”
She revealed the whereabouts of John’s pirate group.
“Is it finally here?”
“John.”
After hearing this, Luo Yan glanced at the fishing float which was still motionless.
The fish hasn’t been hooked yet, but they have caught the John Pirates, who are bigger than the big fish.
“That someone.”
“Help me watch over it.”
“If you still come back as an air force officer, you are the only one to ask.”
Luo Yan casually called over a marine.
When the Marine heard this, his face instantly fell.
This is not fishing at all, it’s even more stressful than fighting with John’s pirate group.
At this moment, he had already begun to think that if he couldn’t catch any fish, he would go into the sea to fish for them himself.
“General Luo Yan, you are not planning to go into battle alone, are you?”
Seeing this, Gion’s pretty face tightened.
Others may not know, so how could she not know?
Luo Yan is Marshal Kong s treasure.
After all, even if you search the entire pirate world, it is impossible to find another man like Luo Yan who can stand at the top of the world with swordsmanship alone.
“Aren’t you still here?”
Luo Yan’s words made Gion feel relieved at first, but then he felt anxious again.
“I?”
Gion was slightly stunned, looking at not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
If she was already a candidate for general in the original work, then it would be nothing.
With one man and one sword, perhaps they can challenge the entire John Pirate Group.
But now, she still needs to practice more.
“Let’s go!”
Just when Gion was curious about how Luo Yan was going to go to war with the John Pirates, he clenched his sword finger and swung it towards the sky.
Two standard swords flew out from the scabbards on the waists of the two navy men, and then turned into a ray of sword light, flying in front of them.
“Come up.”
Luo Yan took a step forward and was the first to step onto the long sword hanging in the air.
“Is this the sword you used to defeat Mr. Zephyr in the Marine Square?”
Gion’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she recognized that this was the Wanjian Guizong that Luo Yan used to defeat Zefa.
She lifted her long legs and stepped firmly on the sword with the soles of her slender high heels, which were more exaggerated than stilettos. She was surprised to find that the sword hanging in the air was as stable as a mountain.
Luo Yan nodded slightly, and his thoughts immediately started racing.
As the sound of breaking through the air was heard, he rode the sword and soared into the sky.
Because he was not a user with special abilities, he was not afraid of falling into the sea at all, so Jiyuan relaxed his body and mind, stepped firmly on the sword, and let Luo Yan take him to the sky with the sword.
“How far have you come in swordsmanship?”
Looking at Luo Yan who was flying in front of her with his sword, her charming eyes that seemed to be able to speak kept flashing with strange light.
Chapter 33: Nice to meet you, you must be Captain John (Please give me flowers, collections, and comments!) (Old version)
On a pirate ship flying a double-sword skull flag.
A lookout from John’s regiment put down his telescope and turned to look at a man in captain’s uniform holding a bottle of wine not far away.
“Someone is coming towards us.”
“It’s a man and a woman.”
He reported to John.
I have seen it.
“Young men, get ready to welcome the guests!”
John’s eyes flickered red.
He wasn’t drunk, so of course he could sense two auras approaching him.
One person in particular.
The aura is as strong as that of a monster.
John Continental turned his head and looked towards the cabin, where the money he had looted with great difficulty, as well as most of the treasures he had robbed from Beehive Island after the defeat of Rocks D. Gibbeck, were stored:
Leave no one alive!
Although John had a smile on his face, his tone was as cold as a knife.
The purpose of coming to the Ice Continent this time is to hide these treasures.
Of course, he couldn’t let anyone who had seen him leave the Ice Continent alive.
“Of course.”
The pirates on the deck grinned fiercely, some drew their swords, and some raised their rifles.
“That man seems to be a navy admiral.”
Jager, the deputy captain of John’s group, looked out and stared at the man and woman who were getting closer and closer to the ship.
“Is this the monster that the newspapers said was the one who immediately became a general?”
No wonder.
“It’s not surprising that there is such an atmosphere.”
John heard this, still holding the bottle in his hand, but his right hand unconsciously reached for one of the knife handles at his waist.
Unlike Qingjiao, he is one of the pirates standing at the top of the world.
Participated in the Battle of God Valley.
I have seen the power of the Admiral firsthand.
Even though Luo Yan was unknown in the past and was only in his twenties, he did not think that Marshal Kong of the Navy Headquarters would be so senile as to appoint a young man of mediocre ability as a navy admiral.
“It seems that the other party is waiting for us in the Ice Continent.”
It seems.
“We have a mole on board.”
Yager’s eyes were like knives, cutting through the pirates on the deck one by one.
With the exception of Edward Newgate, all pirates from the Rocks Group are almost the same.
There are no crew members in sight, only subordinates.
I am only wary of the pirates, not trusting them.
“Maybe some big mouth let it slip.”
“For now, let’s first learn the Navy’s Sky Sword.”
“I heard that Shiki had escaped from Impel Prison, but he died by his sword.”
John looked at Luo Yan, who was flying across the sky with a sword, standing in the universe. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he was mentally prepared for the battle.
As an admiral of the navy, he was waiting for me in the ice continent.
He didn’t think that the other party just wanted to get to know him.
“Golden Lion?”
Jager’s heart sank.
He had witnessed with his own eyes how powerful Shiqi was at his peak.
Being able to kill Shi Ji, even though Luo Yan only brought one person with him, he still didn’t dare to underestimate him at all.
“You must be Captain John!”
Luo Yan stepped on his sword and flew into the air, stopping above the pirate ship of John’s group, looking down at John who was wearing the captain’s uniform on the deck.
“Are there any other pirates in this sea who can be called Captain John, besides me?”
John took a slow sip of his wine.
Even though he knew how powerful Luo Yan was, he still remained calm and composed when facing him.
After all, it s not like the navy admirals haven t fought each other before.
If Luo Yan came with his fleet, he would still be a little afraid.
But if there were only two of them, Captain John would certainly not be afraid before the battle.
“It’s you.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan nodded slightly, then reached out and pulled out the Sakura Ten from his waist.
“Shiki’s sword!”
John and Yager opened their eyes slightly and recognized at a glance that the Sakura Ten in Luo Yan’s hand was Shiqi’s sword.
After seeing this scene, they basically believed the rumors were true.
Shiqi really died at the hands of the man in front of him.
“You’re planning to use me as a target just after becoming an admiral?”
“The idea is good, but the vision is poor and the wrong person was chosen.”
Seeing Luo Yan draw his sword as soon as they met, John remained calm.
Not to mention that he has the confidence to fight against the navy admiral, let s just talk about his pirate group.
Deputy Captain Jager.
Definitely Wu Hai level combat power.
And a whole ship full of pirates.
If it took only one admiral to capture him, he would have been captured by Zephyr in the Valley of the Gods.
That s right.
After hearing this, Luo Yan sneered, then held the sword horizontally in front of him. Wisps of dark sword energy flowed out from the sword like a tide, forming a deep vortex, entwining the sword body and pressing the surrounding atmosphere to cause visibly distortion.
“Crescent Moon Sky Rush”
He swept with his sword.
The inky black sword light suddenly burst out, and a deep crescent sword energy, like a crescent moon hanging in the sky, fell rapidly down.
John seemed to be drinking, but he was actually ready to fight. However, he didn’t expect that Luo Yan would actually dare to draw his sword in front of him.
Doesn’t this man see the disparity in military strength between the two sides?
Although he was surprised and confused in his heart, his hands moved as fast as lightning.
Faced with the pitch-black crescent that fell from the sky and was larger than his own pirate ship, John did not dare to be negligent. He drew out the Yangtze River from his waist like a gust of wind, and the armament color domineering turned into a purple-black stream of light, entwining the blade like a swimming dragon.
In an instant, the long sword in his hand turned into a black sword.
He dodged and jumped up, blocking all the pirates.
It’s not that John loves his subordinates as if they were his life, but the coverage area of Luo Yan’s casual sword is too large. If the crescent moon is allowed to fall, not to mention how many subordinates will die, the pirate ship will definitely be destroyed.
For pirates, the ship is their second life.
What’s more, the ship was filled with his life’s wealth.
For John, who loves money like his life, if the pirate ship is destroyed and the treasures on the ship sink to the bottom of the sea, it would be tantamount to killing him directly.
“Hasn’t your marshal taught you that attacking other people’s ships at random can result in death?”
John leaped out.
If Getsuga Tencho had killed a member of the pirate group, he might not necessarily take action, but since it was his treasure that was killed, he couldn’t just act as if nothing had happened.
“Ichidao Style: Piercing the Clouds.”
John held a knife in one hand and rushed into the air like an arrow, with the blade in his hand bursting out with powerful edge and domineering power.
Clang clang
The moment he swung his sword, the atmosphere vibrated and hummed, and the sharp slash and powerful domineering aura blended into one, forming an armed-colored slash wave that confronted Crescent Moon Sky Chong head-on.
From the perspective of the pirates on the deck, when Luo Yan and John drew their swords, they each cut out a crescent moon.
One of them, a black crescent, was high above.
Another round, crescent-shaped slash, from bottom to top.
With a loud noise that shook the sky and the sea, a fierce storm suddenly exploded in the sky, forcing the ship to move backwards and raising huge waves on the sea.
The pirates of John’s group thought that their captain would be able to break Luo Yan’s attack with one sword, or at least they were evenly matched.
What was unexpected was that once the black crescent and the domineering slash collided, the stalemate lasted only two or three seconds, and the domineering slash wave released by John was shattered and turned into stardust flying in the sky.
Chapter 34: You didn’t forget about this, did you? I can also use two swords! (Please give me flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
John’s face changed drastically when he saw that the domineering slashing wave he released was broken up by Luo Yan’s sword.
But before he could think about it, the crescent-shaped sword energy that blew up his own slashing wave had already dropped from the sky, breaking through the air and flying towards him.
John didn’t care to be surprised and quickly raised his sword to block.
With the crescent moon on his body, a heavy and sharp force burst out wildly, crushing John from mid-air and falling towards the pirate ship.
Damn it!
John glanced at the ship under his feet. The power of Luo Yan’s sword was enough to cut his pirate ship in half in an instant.
He could endure the destruction of the ship, but he could not bear the treasure in the cabin sinking into the sea.
“Don’t underestimate me!”
Just as John’s feet were about to touch the deck, he roared like a king, and visible black and red lightning burst out from the palm of his knife.
Chi Chi
The moment the lightning struck, it was like a tamed python, wrapping around the blade.
He was originally being suppressed by Yueya Tianchong and was retreating step by step, but after the blade was wrapped with black and red lightning, he not only stabilized his retreating body, but also took on the black crescent that cut through the sky and split the sea, and held it steadily in the void.
His feet landed smoothly on the deck.
“oh?”
“Is it the King’s Haki entangled?”
When Luo Yan saw this, he was not surprised but happy.
really.
Without exception, all the cadres of the Rocks Pirates possess the qualifications of a king, and have mastered the technique of domineering color entanglement.
When he fought with Shiqi before, he felt that it was not satisfying enough.
After all, even if Shiki pulled out the rudder that was inserted into his head and held two swords, he could only recover to his peak in terms of armament color, observation color, Float-Float Fruit, and two-sword swordsmanship.
Maybe it was because of the battle with Garp and Sengoku, which caused the rudder on his head to be inserted deeper, so it was difficult for him to even use the Conqueror’s Haki, let alone the Conqueror’s Haki Entanglement.
This also meant that Luo Yan never had the opportunity to witness the so-called domineering color entanglement.
It’s ok now.
As Captain John displayed the ability of Conqueror’s Haki Entanglement, he was finally able to experience for himself the power that Kaido said only a very small number of top-level strong men could master.
Delighted at the sight of prey, Luo Yan’s mind raced, and he flew his sword across the sky, transforming into a circle of sword light, and flew behind John.
“Crescent Moon Sky Rush!”
He raised the Sakura Ten in his hand and swept the sword across.
A tide of dark sword energy flowed out from the body of Ying Jujian, forming a huge black crescent in an instant, with a sharp edge that could split the sky and the sea, and it broke through the air and slashed towards John’s back.
Even without using his Observation Haki, John could tell Luo Yan’s whereabouts just by the sword pressure coming from behind:
sniff
Just as he was holding a sword in one hand to suppress the crescent moon in front of him and was about to be trapped and killed by another crescent moon behind him, he decisively let go of the bottle of wine that he never let go of.
Let the wine spill on the ground.
John pulled out another long sword from his waist at lightning speed, and his domineering aura turned into black and red lightning, like violent electric pythons, entwining the blade.
He stepped forward and turned around, dragging the long sword in his hand with a majestic and domineering aura, and slashed at the black crescent moon that was flying through the air.
Before the blade wrapped in the hegemony’s color could be separated from the dark crescent by space, a mighty wave of air like a tide and a storm had already surged on the deck.
Faced with the fierce storm that spread in all directions, mixed with domineering aura and sword energy, many pirates were caught off guard and were swept away.
As the sounds of falling into the water rang out one after another, the pirates fell into the sea one by one.
Those who could withstand the aftermath of the power collision between Luo Yan and John at close range without being blown away were all cadres in John’s group without exception.
This level of combat power is rare.
Looking at the entire John Pirate Group, there are only a few of them.
“I didn’t make it clear when I introduced myself just now.”
“Actually, I am also a great swordsman with two swords.”
John held the sword in both hands and shot left and right. He used the two swords wrapped in domineering aura to hold the two crescent moons in front and behind. He even had time to speak to Luo Yan.
Luo Yan’s mind moved, and he stepped on the sword and instantly flashed to just above John’s head.
This scene.
When John, who was enduring two rounds of double-teaming, saw this, his face darkened.
“You haven’t forgotten this, have you?”
“I can also use two swords.”
As Luo Yan spoke, his left hand reached for the wooden handle at his waist and grasped the hilt of the sword.
Seeing this, John’s pupils constricted.
It s not that he hadn t thought about Luo Yan being a great swordsman with two swords, but compared to one sword, great swordsmen with two swords were not common in the world of pirates, and could even be said to be extremely rare.
so.
When John saw Mu Ku and Ying Shi inserted into Luo Yan’s waist, he thought that they were Luo Yan’s trophies.
After all, Yingju and Moku are the only paired famous swords among the Twelve Supreme Swords.
Faced with the supreme great sword, even a swordsman who is a master of the One-Sword Style would definitely not refuse to collect this pair of famous swords.
I never thought that the answer with the lowest probability would be the correct one.
Luo Yan raised the sword in his left hand and lifted Mu Ku above his head. A torrent of black sword energy surged out and wrapped around the sword.
While John was using his two swords to block Crescent Moon and had no time to be distracted, he looked down from above and swung his swords at the opponent.
“What do you think the John Pirates are?”
“Even if you are the admiral of the navy, this is not a place where you can act wild.”
Yager, who was standing by, couldn’t sit still anymore after seeing this scene.
If John was allowed to strike with this sword by Luo Yan, regardless of whether he could withstand it, even if he could, their pirate group’s ship would be destroyed.
As the deputy captain of John’s group, he knew exactly how much treasure was in the cabin.
Like the captain, like the vice-captain.
Like John, Jacob also values money more than anything else.
Unable to tolerate the other party killing John, nor could he sit idly by and watch the other party destroy the ship, Yager drew his sword and jumped up, heading straight for Luo Yan.
But with Jianxin’s clear perception, Luo Yan could see every move of Yager.
He was about to use Sakura Ten to block the opponent’s knife, but he stopped immediately, as if he had noticed something.
As the sword exploded with clanging sounds, Gion stood in front of Yager like a bullet, holding the Kinpila in his hand and firmly suppressing Yager’s sword.
“A pirate of your level is not worthy enough to die under General Luo Yan’s sword.”
Gion’s beautiful eyes were like knives, staring at Yager coldly.
“He’s in the way!”
Yager’s face was grim, and he was filled with shock and anxiety.
He didn’t expect that there would be a woman of this importance in the navy.
He is not even a lieutenant general, but he can compete with me.
Luo Yan withdrew his gaze from Yager, and slashed down with the Mu Ku sword in his hand, which was surrounded by a tide-like black sword energy.
It was different from the two crescent-shaped sword energies that had been slashed out before.
This time, the sword energy was like the water of the Milky Way above the nine heavens, rushing down with unstoppable might.
This is Crescent Moon Tianchong.
Looking at all the current kendo moves, it is also the most flexible and changeable one.
It can be like a crescent moon across the sky, attacking from the front and back, or it can be like mercury pouring on the ground, penetrating every hole.
Ever-changing and not bound by form.
Chapter 35: Step over John without killing him. This power is really hard to control (please give flowers, please comment, please collect!) (Old version)
“What’s up with this guy’s swordsmanship?”
“It’s obviously the same move, but why is there such a big difference between the two?”
John, who was attacking from both sides and fending off the double team from front and back, looked up at the sky.
The sky above the pirate ship has been covered by spreading sword energy.
It was like a dark curtain suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking out the sun.
John couldn’t understand.
Ever since Luo Yan drew his sword, all three swords were Crescent Moon Sky Strike, but why are the forms of swordplay so completely different?
Shouldn’t the same sword techniques have fixed forms?
Why is the Crescent Moon in front of us not like this?
While all kinds of thoughts flashed through John’s mind, a torrent of sword energy like the water of a river in the sky poured down and washed over him.
Originally, he was able to resist the double-sword attack from the front and back Crescent Moons by relying on the entanglement of Conqueror’s Haki and the double-sword technique. However, after Luo Yan pulled out Mu Ku and slashed out the third sword, he finally couldn’t resist.
Like dominoes being pushed over.
Not only was he washed away and drowned by the long river of sword energy that fell from the sky like a black torrent.
Even the two crescent moons in front and behind that were originally blocked by him began to exert force together.
While John was imprisoned, he burst out with unrivaled brilliance and devoured him together.
Attack from front and back.
From top to bottom.
Three crescent-shaped sky strikes erupted at the same time.
Accompanied by a deafening bang, a tornado of sword energy immediately rose up on the deck and shot straight into the sky, like a violent black dragon entrenched on the pirate ship.
The ship that had carried the John Pirates for many years, withstood the harsh climate of the New World, and experienced many bloody storms, could not withstand the sword energy storm that was raging in all directions.
A large section of wooden boards on the deck were lifted up layer by layer.
The heavy boat pole broke and shattered.
The towering cabin was torn into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, not only John, but the entire pirate ship, including the pirates on the deck, were swallowed up by the black sword energy tornado.
When the sword energy storm dissipated, the pirate ship that was originally sailing on the sea had been torn into pieces and turned into wreckage all over the ground.
Even the surging sea surface was torn apart, forming a huge whirlpool.
The mountain of treasures, which John had always carefully protected and regarded as his life, flew across the sky and fell on the sea like a storm.
“money!”
“So much gold!”
“That’s mine!”
The pirates who were swept into the sea were dazzled by the countless gold and jewels scattered into the sea.
Perhaps it was because John was beheaded by Luo Yan, and the ship was dismembered.
Prestige greatly reduced.
Perhaps it is the dazzling array of jewels and gold that captivates the mind.
Instead of joining the battle or running away, the pirates of John’s group rushed towards the gold and jewels that were about to sink into the sea in all directions.
In order to fight for the gold, pirates who were originally on the same team even faced each other with swords and fought each other in the face of a powerful enemy.
At this moment, a blood-red wave suddenly rose from the sea.
John swam out of the sea with a scarlet cut on his face.
As he was barely alive, the first thing he did was not to escape or to guard against Luo Yan. Instead, he looked around and roared at the pirates who were fighting for the gold.
That s my money!
John roared repeatedly.
Seeing that his treasure was about to be divided up, he, who had originally stained the sea with blood, raised his long sword, broke through the waves, and released a slashing wave, killing dozens of his subordinates nearby on the spot.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.
Even though John was still alive and killed many crew members in the first place, he still couldn’t suppress the pirates’ greed.
Because everyone can see it.
The famous Captain John was now in a desperate situation.
No longer as majestic as usual.
At this moment, his subordinates only wanted to grab more gold, and then take the opportunity to escape while Luo Yan was arresting John.
“Is this the John Pirates?”
It s really disappointing!
Looking at the John Pirates in chaos, Luo Yan shook his head, his tone revealing a hint of disappointment.
Although the monkeys scatter when the tree falls, John is still alive.
But the pirate group is still in internal control and divided.
The scene before him made Luo Yan feel as if he had gone back in time and witnessed the Rocks Pirates falling apart and falling apart.
John’s face was covered in blood and his expression was as ferocious as a devil.
In his opinion, his treasure was stolen and his pirate group fell apart, and it was all Luo Yan’s fault.
If the other party had not appeared, he would never have ended up like this.
As soon as this thought came to John, a surge of strength emerged from somewhere in his body, and he jumped out of the sea and landed on a piece of ship wreckage.
He grasped the blade with his blood-stained hands, and his whole body exuded the domineering aura of a Shura devil.
Violent, huge black and red lightning flashed across the sea.
The air around seemed to be filled with the domineering aura of the king, becoming extremely thick and sticky like the tide.
“Remember to capture him alive.”
While Gion forced Yager back with a sword, he did not forget to remind Luo Yan.
After all, Marshal Kong had given instructions.
These pirates who are included in the list of Seven Warlords of the Sea should be captured alive if possible.
Apart from anything else, in terms of merit alone, capturing John alive is greater than killing him.
“knew.”
“Am I not already in control?”
“Oh my! Marshal Kong really gave me a difficult problem!”
Hearing Gion’s reminder, Luo Yan showed a hint of hesitation:
“Stepping over John without killing him, this power is really hard to control.”
He shook his head.
Capturing someone alive is always much more difficult than killing him.
If the goal is to kill John, three strikes should be enough if I put all my strength into it.
After all, John’s strength is inferior to Shiqi’s.
Even in his prime, when he could use Conqueror’s Haki Entanglement, he was only a level below Shiki who could pull out the rudder but couldn’t use Conqueror’s Haki.
If it was the Battle of Eto’Wall, Shiki would be even worse when fighting against the Roger Pirates.
But considering the need to capture John alive, Luo Yan was hesitant and carefully controlled the strength when drawing the sword.
For a moment, I was worried that I would not use enough force and would not cause enough damage to make John lose his ability to resist.
He was afraid of using too much force and accidentally killed John on the spot.
Especially now that John has taken three sets of Crescent Moon Sky Strike, his injuries are serious.
When swinging the fourth sword, you must control your strength well.
“asshole!”
John was slightly startled, then flew into a rage.
who is he?
Captain John.
Whether it was Gol D. Roger or the Rocks Pirates, those former monster companions would not dare to underestimate him like this.
He was actually worried that he would swing the sword with too much force and accidentally kill himself.
How could he not be furious?
Chapter 36: Crescent Moon on the Face! Capturing John Alive (Please give me flowers, please add me to your collection, please rate me!) (Old Version)
“Two Swords Style: Thunder!”
In a rage, John clenched the hilt of the knife with both hands, and the domineering aura burst out, turning the blade in his hand into a domineering lightning blade.
He exerted force with his feet, crushing the debris beneath his feet and creating a huge wave.
With a sound of breaking through the air, John soared into the sky with his domineering aura. It seemed that the man and the two swords merged into one, transforming into two entangled black and red thunders, like a sea king with a bloody mouth, biting towards Luo Yan.
But John had already drawn his sword, but Luo Yan was still hesitating, not knowing how much strength to use.
It was not until the black and red lightning flashed in front of him that he tried to cut with his sword.
Ying Ju and the two domineering thunderbolts that looked like flying dragons collided with each other, and the sword roared like a dragon’s roar, setting off wave after wave of domineering frenzy in the void.
Just as John was about to make a concerted effort, unleash a sharp edge that could pierce the clouds and split the rocks, and strike with a domineering force like lightning in the sky, aiming to cut off Luo Yan and his sword together, an indifferent voice came into his ears.
Luo Yan’s five fingers holding Ying Shi tightened slightly.
The rolling sword energy burst out from the palm of his hand, first wrapping the entire Sakura Ten, and then surging out like a raging sea, spreading out majestically across the universe.
John, who was holding a knife, felt a sudden darkness in front of his eyes, and then all the scenes in his sight disappeared, leaving only darkness.
Wave after wave, the sword energy spread out in all directions like black waves, like an enormous curtain, instantly covering John and drowning the domineering slashing waves he released.
When the sword energy like black waves expanded to its extreme, it formed a dark crescent moon hanging in the pirate world.
At this moment, it seemed that even Da Ri retreated and gave up his position.
He gave way to the sharp crescent sword energy.
After a moment, the overwhelming crescent sword energy dissipated, replaced by a thick smoke.
A ragged, bloody figure flew out from the smoke and flew backwards hundreds of meters away.
John, like a man soaked in blood, was like an eagle with broken wings, falling rapidly towards the sea.
As for the two swords in his hands, the domineering domineering that was originally wrapped around the blades like thunder, and the armament domineering that turned the blades into black swords, were all dispersed one by one by the violent crescent sword energy.
Especially John’s hands holding the knife.
The wound was so severe that one could see the white bones.
Even the muscles, blood vessels, nerve tissues, etc. inside were almost torn apart by the crescent weather.
The waves splashed and the blood surged.
The once invincible Captain John fell into the sea.
This shocking scene caught the eyes of the deputy captain Jager and the pirates of John’s group who were still fighting for gold and treasures.
These pirates seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding.
They all gave up the fight for the gold and swam away in all directions.
Some pirates were so afraid of being caught that they even dived into the sea.
As for Yager, he pulled back and dived into the sea like a mermaid at an astonishing speed.
Before he sank a few meters, Gion let out a cold and sharp shout, and the armed color domineering and slashing force condensed on the tip of Konpila’s sword.
“A sword across the sea!”
With Luo Yan’s hands-on instruction, coupled with her own talent and aptitude, she learned some of the essentials of the sword art of “One Sword Across the Worlds”, and combined with her own swordsmanship and domineering aura, she mastered this sword.
As Gion slashed with his sword, the turbulent sea surface immediately split into two, raising two rows of high water curtains, exposing the fleeing Yager to the air.
Although this sword is not as sharp as Luo Yan’s sword that can separate lifetimes and even worlds, it is still enough to separate the sea.
The sea water around him was separated, and Yager was shocked.
A dark slash came across like a laser, leaving him no time to think. He could only turn around and swing his sword, bursting out with powerful domineering aura to try to block it.
As the sword flashed, Yager’s whole body suddenly stiffened.
A long knife wound extended from the shoulder to the abdomen, and then blood gushed out and sprayed into the sky.
At the moment when the light in his eyes disappeared, the originally separated sea healed again, and two rows of row curtains rising from the sea swept down and rolled him into the sea.
Oh no!
When Gion saw this scene, he was shocked by the power of the sword taught to him by Luo Yan, and regretted accidentally killing the vice-captain of the John Pirate Group.
If I had known this would happen, I would not have swung this sword.
“Isn’t it yours?”
Luo Yan flew in front of Gion on his sword, and Kenshin Tongming had already noticed that Yager was killed on the spot.
Even Gion’s sword that could separate the sea was not as powerful as his sword that could separate the worlds.
But it only takes a few minutes to kill the deputy captain of John’s group who has lost all desire to fight and is full of fear.
“I’m sorry, General Luo Yan.”
Gion’s pretty face turned slightly red and her tone was a little shy.
All along, she was the one who repeatedly reminded Luo Yan to pay attention to his strength and to capture the pirates alive.
Luo Yan captured John alive, but he himself killed the deputy captain of John’s group.
“Anyway, Marshal Kong just specifically asked to capture John alive.”
“He is just the vice-captain of the John Group. If he dies, then he dies.”
Luo Yan waved his hand. He was just teasing Gion just now, so of course he couldn’t blame him:
“But your sword move just now was quite interesting.”
“Although I’m still a little short of my skills, I can still hold my own against top-level warriors.”
When talking about Gion’s sword across the sea, his voice revealed a hint of admiration.
Even if it’s a low-profile version of A Sword Across the World.
Even if I teach you step by step.
But it is not easy to master it.
Gion mastered it in just a few days.
You can imagine how high her qualifications are.
If she hadn’t lacked some luck in the original book, and didn’t have top-level natural abilities like Sakaski, Borsalino and Kuzan, even without Luo Yan’s teaching, she could have been promoted to general of the headquarters when Sakaski was promoted to marshal and Kuzan left.
The Marine Headquarters does not need to launch a world conscription and appoint Fujitora and Green Bull to supplement the admiral’s combat power.
As for now.
With Luo Yan’s guidance, even if Gion Mirai still hasn’t eaten the top-level devil fruit, her swordsmanship, domineering, and physical skills are enough to make her have the strength of a top admiral.
“If it weren’t for your teaching, General Luo Yan, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have now.”
Gion only felt gratitude towards Luo Yan from the bottom of his heart.
She knew very well that without Luo Yan’s guidance, she would never be able to master the sword that could cut across the sea.
If you want to have the current level of attainment in swordsmanship, you will need to practice for at least another one or two years.
However, Luo Yan’s guidance saved her several years of training and she also mastered the skill of cutting through the sea with a sword.
“I don’t have the ability to prop up the mud against the wall.”
“Even if I teach you, you have to be motivated enough.”
Luo Yan shook his head, then casually summoned a long sword and brought John, who had sunk into the sea, had his tendons cut off and lost consciousness, into the air.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air in the direction where the warship was docked.
Dots of silver light dot the void like stars.
Along with the sharp sound of swords, hundreds of standard naval swords flew through the air and lined up in the void like an army.
Luo Yan waved his hand casually.
Thousands of long swords, like a pouring galaxy, broke through the sound barrier, carrying with them sharp sword energy, piercing through the pirates who were trying to escape in the sea.
In an instant, the calm sea surface was covered with potholes, like a hornet’s nest, and blood quickly dyed the sea surface red.
Luo Yan’s mind moved, and he flew on his sword, taking Gion and the unconscious John back to the warship.
Only the corpses of the pirates were left floating quietly on the blood-red sea.
Chapter 37: Sky Sword and Hawkeye! (Please give flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
The land of flowers.
The palace study.
In addition to King Ramen, there are seven middle-aged people of similar age to Qingjiao gathered here.
Without exception, they are all pillars of the Flower Kingdom’s major naval forces.
On weekdays, everyone is busy with their own things and rarely does everyone get together.
Today, not a single one of them was missing, as they all came to the palace study.
“Are you sure?”
“Hand-Pulled Noodle.”
The man wearing clothes with the word “Erbao” on them and with two dragon whiskers on his face spoke first.
It was Erbao s naval pillar, Wujing.
“I contacted the World Government.”
“Qingjiao happened to meet Luo Yan, the admiral of the navy who was going to the Ice Continent to capture John, at the Baoyu Iceberg.”
“A conflict broke out between the two sides, and Qing Jiao was defeated and killed by him with one sword.”
Ramen looked gloomy.
From the Yibao Navy to the Babao Navy, every pillar is the pillar of the Flower Kingdom.
Especially green peppers.
Whether before or after being hit on the head by Garp, he is undoubtedly the leader of the eight pillars.
Now that he was killed by Luo Yan, how could he not be angry?
After all, the West Sea is not like the East Sea.
Powerful forces abound.
Especially the fight between countries is even more brutal than the fight between pirates.
Without the reputation and deterrence of Green Pepper, the Kingdom of Flowers will inevitably be coveted by all parties.
“Doesn’t he know that besides being a pirate, Qing Jiao is also a pillar of our Flower Kingdom?”
“You actually dared to chop the green pepper!”
Huacai, a pillar of the Sanbao navy, slapped the armrest of the chair, exuding a murderous aura.
“Your Majesty, this matter cannot be let go like this.”
“Our Flower Country is a member of the World Government.”
“We must ask the Navy to give us an explanation from the Flower Country.”
Chunju, the pillar of the Sibao navy, shouted sternly.
“Tian Jian is a navy admiral. Even if we bring the case to the government, we are not in the right.”
“I also heard that this guy named Luo Yan was appointed as the Admiral of the Navy despite the opposition of many people and the pressure from the World Government.”
“Now that we have captured Captain John, we are in great glory.”
“Even the government is unlikely to hold the Navy accountable for Qing Jiao, and the headquarters is even less likely to give us an explanation.”
“After all, Qingjiao is a wanted pirate.”
Chunsun, the pillar of the Wubao navy, shook his head.
“Fifth brother, is this the end of it?”
Liubao Navy Soldier Shuiqin stood up from her chair, extremely excited.
The pillars of the Babao Navy are not only passed down from generation to generation, but each generation of pillars has a close relationship with each other.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are like brothers.
What’s more, during the years that Qingjiao became a pirate, he brought back a large amount of wealth to the Kingdom of Flowers.
The Flower Kingdom’s arms business can flourish all over the world thanks to Green Pepper’s reputation.
“Of course it doesn’t count.”
Without waiting for other pillars to speak, King Ramen had already made a harsh statement:
“Green peppers have made great contributions to the current prosperity of our Flower Kingdom.”
“Now that he has been killed, if we turn a blind eye and pretend nothing happened, how can we explain this to the Babao Navy?”
“When I see Xiao Caiyi and Xiaobu next time, I will probably turn around and leave. I won’t be able to face anyone.”
He said in a cold voice.
Others may not know, but how could Ramen, as the king, not know?
In order for the Flower Kingdom to gain a foothold in the West Sea and to prevent the Flower Kingdom from being removed from the government’s member states, Qingjiao went out to sea to plunder, despite the risk and pressure of being wanted and hunted by the navy.
Every year they brought back a large amount of treasure to pay for the gold in heaven.
Whether from an emotional or a beneficial perspective, he couldn’t just pretend nothing happened.
“King, Narayan is a navy admiral.”
“Even the Navy Headquarters said he was the most powerful swordsman in the world.”
“Even Qing Jiao couldn’t block his sword. Even if all of us rushed forward, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to withstand two or three swords.”
Qiu Kui, the pillar of Qibao Navy, frowned:
“We can’t count on the World Government anymore.”
“I never thought of counting on the world government.”
Ramen snorted.
He still understands the principle of difference between close and distant relatives.
The Navy Headquarters is a directly affiliated agency of the World Government, and the Navy Admirals in particular are the highest combat power of the World Government.
How could the World Government hold a Navy Admiral accountable for Green Pepper?
“King, do you want to find someone from the underground dark world to deal with Luo Yan?”
Impossible!
“He is only 16 years old, and he is already an admiral of the navy. Which assassin can deal with such a swordsman?”
Erbao’s navy pillar Wujing thought that Ramen was trying to assassinate Luo Yan.
“Professional matters should of course be left to professionals.”
“Since Luo Yan is a navy, he has to be dealt with by the navy hunters.”
“I wonder if you have ever heard of Navy Hunters.”
King Ramen looked around at the seven pillars.
“Navy Hunter?”
“Is it the swordsman who specifically hunts the navy?”
“Jorakol Mihawk.”
“Sky Sword and Hawkeye!”
“The Navy’s No. 1 Sword vs. the Pirates’ No. 1 Sword?”
“Hahahaha! Your Majesty, you still have a way.”
When they heard the word navy hunter, the eyes of all the pillars suddenly lit up.
In this era, there are countless powerful pirates, but there is only one pirate who dares to hunt the navy.
Before Luo Yan appeared out of nowhere, everyone believed that Jurakol Mihawk had the hope of forging a black sword and becoming the world’s strongest swordsman.
Even now, the pirate camp still generally believes that the person who is closest to the world’s most powerful swordsman in this era is Dracula Mihawk.
“The man named Hawkeye, besides liking to challenge powerful swordsmen, also hunts marines.”
“Think about it.”
“Luo Yan is not only a marine, but also a swordsman. He is also considered by the marines to be the most powerful swordsman in the world.”
“How could an eagle-eye miss such prey?”
The corners of Ramen’s mouth slowly split to the sides, revealing a sinister smile.
The pillars present looked at each other and saw excitement and excitement in each other’s eyes.
They seemed to have seen the scene of naval hunters hunting the admiral.
Impel Prison.
A huge warship was anchored steadily at the entrance of the prison.
A group of prison guards, led by Deputy Director Magellan, immediately stepped forward to greet them.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“And the navy.”
In order to prevent his Poison-Poison Fruit ability from affecting others, Magellan put on protective clothing and a mask.
But even so.
The accompanying prison guards also made protective preparations one by one.
“Mr. Magellan.”
“I have already delivered the prisoner.”
“I’ll trouble you all with what happens next.”
Luo Yan shook his head and looked at Gion beside him.
The latter understood and handed John, whose hands and feet were locked with seastone handcuffs and shackles, his tendons were cut, and his injuries had not yet healed, to the prison guard who came to take over.
“rest assured.”
“I’m betting on the title of the strongest man in prison.”
“There will never be a second time like Shiki’s escape from prison.”
Magellan assured him word by word, and then he changed the subject:
“There are some things I wanted to tell you before, but because of official duties, I couldn’t find the opportunity, so I put it off until now.”
“On behalf of all the prison guards at Impel Prison, thank you for beheading Shiki.”
“If you hadn’t intervened, Impel’s reputation would have been ruined by our generation.”
He spoke sincerely and bowed to Luo Yan.
“Thanks you.”
With Magellan taking the lead, the accompanying prison guards also bowed and expressed their gratitude to Luo Yan.
It just happened to happen.
“The Navy Headquarters has already thanked you.”
“After all, I received a bounty of more than 4 billion.”
Luo Yan shook his head and didn’t say much on this topic.
“Well, Mr. Director, and the gentlemen of Impel.”
“I won’t bother you any more.”
“After all, you still have to deal with the matter of imprisoning John.”
After escorting John to Impel Prison and completing the handover, Luo Yan reboarded the warship. As the prison guards led by Magellan saluted and watched, the warship set sail.
Chapter 38: The Kingdom of Flowers? It’s just flying insects (Please give me flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
Impel Prison is not far from Maryford.
Less than half an hour.
The warship sailed into the inner bay of the Navy Headquarters.
After getting off the boat, Luo Yan took Gion and walked towards the marshal’s office at a leisurely pace.
Kong, who was sitting in the office, looked over when he heard the sound.
“Thanks a lot.”
“It was a great accomplishment on the first mission.”
Seeing Luo Yan’s return, Kong’s dignified face unconsciously revealed a friendly smile.
“It’s just to capture a john.”
Luo Yan was sitting on the sofa. Seeing Gion waiting beside him, he raised his hand and patted the empty seat next to him.
Seeing this, Gion first glanced at the empty space in front of the desk. Seeing that the other party did not show any abnormal expression, and after she was sure that her behavior was not presumptuous and would not bring bad reputation to Luo Yan, she sat down with peace of mind.
Upon seeing this, the major general at the side immediately brought two cups of black tea and cake.
“What do you think of the job of a Marine Admiral?”
“Are you getting used to it?”
Considering that this was Luo Yan’s first time working outside the home since taking office as the general, Kong showed extra concern.
After all, unlike Kuzan, Sakaski and Borsalino who graduated from naval academies and had a strong sense of belonging to their headquarters, Luo Yan joined the company halfway and became an admiral after being appointed as an exception.
He must always be aware of the other party’s emotions and sense of the navy.
The better Luo Yan performed, the more concerned he became, and the more attentive and careful he became.
“fine.”
“Having Gion to help me saves me a lot of worry.”
“That’s good.”
Kong felt relieved when he saw that Luo Yan was not being perfunctory and was quite satisfied with his adjutant, Jiyuan.
After all, making Gion the adjutant of Luo Yan was his own doing.
The purpose is to make Gion a bond and deepen the relationship between Luoyan and the navy.
If Luo Yan has no relatives or friends in the Navy Headquarters and is often isolated from the Navy, it will be very detrimental to enhancing Luo Yan’s sense of belonging to the Navy Headquarters.
Only by interacting with more and more navies and establishing good relationships can we gradually win them over.
If it were Sakaski, Karp and others, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.
After all, without exception, they are all suppressed by the word “justice” behind their clothes. They are naturally close to the navy and the possibility of rebellion is very low.
“Where are Borsalino and Kuzan?”
“How are they?”
“Haven’t you come back yet?”
Luo Yan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and started chatting with Xiankong.
“They are all busy dealing with the pirates on the Shichibukai list.”
“At first, I thought Borsalino would make the fastest progress. After all, he is the user of the Flash Fruit.”
“If you get serious, your work efficiency is unmatched.”
Kong sighed, then looked at Luo Yan:
“I didn’t expect that among the three of us, you’re making the fastest progress.”
“Not only did they arrest and detain John, but they also dealt with Green Pepper as well.”
“If Borsalino and the others knew, they would probably be very anxious.”
He couldn’t help but laugh when he thought of Kuzan’s desperate look.
It was just a fluke.
“If we didn’t have the intelligence from the Investigation Bureau and the analysis from Gion, it would really take a lot of effort to completely wipe out the John Pirates.”
After carrying out the operation to capture John, Luo Yan understood a lot.
Fighting against pirates will be affected by many external factors.
It is not necessarily the case that one will be able to capture someone successfully if one is stronger than the other party.
Once defeated, pirates will choose to escape.
There is also the vast ocean. If you cannot accurately lock onto it first, even if you have extraordinary strength, you will be powerless.
Unless he can travel thousands of miles with one sword.
“It seems that you have benefited a lot from this mission!”
Seeing this, Kong also laughed.
A little bit.
“It’s good to have some gains.”
“Oh right! Luo Yan, there is something I think it is necessary to remind you.”
“Although Qing Jiao is wanted, as the pillar of the Eight Treasures Navy, he is second only to one man in the Kingdom of Flowers.”
Kong remembered something and reminded him.
“You mean, the Flower Kingdom will take revenge on me?”
Luo Yan seemed to be thinking about something.
It s possible.
“But they definitely wouldn’t dare to do it openly, for fear that they would resort to some despicable means in secret.”
“Because of Qing Jiao, the Kingdom of Flowers is not only a member of the World Government, but also has considerable influence in the underground dark world. It is one of the few member states that can dominate both black and white.”
“Anyway, you have to be careful. After all, it’s better to be careful.”
Sora nodded seriously.
“The Kingdom of Flowers?”
“Don’t worry.”
“It’s just a flying insect.”
Luo Yan smiled indifferently and did not take the Kingdom of Flowers to heart.
If the Flower Kingdom admits defeat and chooses to keep quiet, then the matter of Green Pepper will end there.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind taking a trip to the Kingdom of Flowers himself.
Send a group of naval pillars to reunite with Qingjiao.
“Just keep it in mind.”
Kong was just giving a reminder. In fact, he didn’t take the Flower Kingdom seriously, and didn’t think that the Flower Kingdom could do anything to Luo Yan:
“You should have a good rest these few days.”
Give yourself a break.
“I will inform you as soon as there is any news from Crocodile.”
As for Luo Yan, Kong has done enough in every aspect.
Whether it is material and military rank courtesies or emotional value, all are maximized.
The purpose is to deepen the relationship between Luo Yan and the navy.
Luo Yan nodded, picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.
This is also one of the reasons why he chose to become an admiral.
There is no nine-to-five job, and no need to punch in at work. Whether it is food, drink, entertainment, clothing, food, housing and transportation, everything can be reimbursed at public expenses.
Except for very rare times, most of the time is free.
Even if you have to go on a mission, you can choose to refuse to do it if you don’t want to.
In a year, the actual working time may not even add up to two months.
After finishing the snacks on the table, Luo Yan did not stay in the Marshal’s office, but got up and left with Gion.
After arresting John and returning to the Navy Headquarters, Luo Yan had some free time.
Apart from fishing and checking in at various places in Maryford every day, I watch live broadcasts.
That’s right.
The world of pirates is also broadcast live online.
Thanks to Den Den Mushi and a slightly crooked technology tree, celebrities and internet influencers are still popular.
For example, Uta in the original book.
It is through live streaming that one becomes a star step by step.
Luo Yan also did not forget to sign in on time every week to obtain the kendo skills.
After all, he knew it very well.
Everything he had in the pirate world, whether it was his billions of dollars in assets or his status as a navy admiral, was all built on the basis of his kendo skills.
A bright and spacious room with excellent lighting.
Luo Yan put down his wine glass, leaned against the back of the sofa, and looked through the balcony on the platform level, taking in the sea view of Maryford and the horizon, which were the same color.
As an admiral of the navy, he certainly has an office of his own.
It is as spacious as the empty marshal’s office.
Although the decoration style is not luxurious, it is grand and elegant.
In addition to desks, chairs and sofas for work, there is also a leisure area for rest and relaxation.
This includes a large balcony covering an area of more than 100 square meters, which can overlook the sea view at any time.
At this moment, he was enjoying the beautiful scenery, tasting the red wine, and reciting in his heart.
Chapter 39 Kendo’s big move: Sword control! Thousands of miles away, take the thief’s head (ask for flowers, collection, and evaluation!) (old version)
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the sword technique: sword control. ]As the sign-in was successful, a piece of information immediately emerged in Luo Yan’s mind.
“It’s actually sword control!”
After a moment, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
past.
With the help of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin, Luo Yan can indeed control ten thousand swords.
In the Ice Continent, when capturing John, he even performed a sword-flying show.
However, although Wan Jian Gui Zong is very strong, he has a weakness that is not really a weakness.
That is, the range of the sword is limited.
At most, it can only include Maryford.
In other words, if Luo Yan was in the headquarters of the navy, he would not be able to control the swords far away in the Sabaody Archipelago by relying on the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.
The same goes for other kendo skills.
Although the attack range is huge, with a single sword reaching a thousand meters, it is impossible to cross the distance between islands and carry out beyond-visual-range strikes.
But after signing in for the new kendo skill: sword-controlling technique, distance is no longer a limitation for Luo Yan.
Not to mention a sword that can reach a thousand meters, even a sword that can reach a thousand miles is no problem.
In the future, when he fights with others, even if he faces extremely fast opponents, it will be a complete pipe dream for the other party to escape from him.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan couldn’t help but feel itchy to try his hand at it.
Luo Yan did not see any movement. Several dozen meters away from him, Ying Shi, who was hanging on the weapon rack in the room, seemed to be grabbed by the hilt by an invisible big hand. The sword was immediately unsheathed, turned into a sword light, and flashed in front of him like a dragon.
He pointed his sword.
Ying Shi broke through the air, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, and rushed into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the sea of clouds.
In the general’s office, Luo Yan slowly closed his eyes.
A picture appeared out of nowhere.
His will seemed to be attached to Sakura 11, and he traveled through the sky with Sakura 11, overlooking the sea and seeing the surrounding scenery.
As the sound barrier was broken, circles of visible sonic boom clouds burst out and spread out from around Ying Shi. Ying Shi’s speed suddenly increased, and he streaked across the sky like a shooting star.
In a short while, an island came into Luo Yan’s sight.
It is the Sabaody Archipelago adjacent to the Navy Headquarters.
A ship flying a pirate flag slowly docked at the pier.
“Captain Zeff.”
“We’re here.”
“Chabaoti Archipelago.”
“The first half of the Grand Line, the end of paradise.”
On the deck, dozens of pirates looked excited, surrounding a man with his golden beard tied into two pigtails, and cheering.
Zhepu, who is cold-blooded and always very strict and cruel to his subordinates, smiled proudly for the first time.
Although the Sabaody Archipelago is only the first half of the Grand Line, which is the end of Paradise, and not the second half, which is the end of the New World, there are countless pirate groups setting out from the four seas every year, but only a few in ten thousand can finally arrive here.
Therefore, both the pirates of the chef team and Captain Zeff felt extremely proud.
“Go up and take a look.”
Zeff interrupted his men’s cheers and headed down the boat first.
The other crew members were all eager to see how the Sabaody Archipelago was different from other places.
But just as Zeff was about to step off the ship and set foot on the land of Sabaody Archipelago, all the pirates in the chef group, led by Zeff, heard a creepy sword sound suddenly ringing in their ears.
Faster than the sound of the sword was a flash of sword light like a swimming dragon.
Be it Zeff or other pirates, before they heard the sound of the sword, an almost invisible red line had appeared on their necks. Yet, they were still talking and laughing, not realizing that they had been killed by a sword.
It was not until he heard the belated sound of the sword that Zhepu, who was walking in front, realized something was wrong.
He felt the world spinning and the strength in his body was disappearing rapidly like the tide.
The feet that were originally stepping on the Sabaody Archipelago also softened, and the body sank and fell straight to the ground.
Zhepu felt a sudden sharp pain in his neck and subconsciously reached out to wipe it, and what he saw was a pool of scarlet blood.
“Blood?”
His eyes widened, and a trace of shock and panic arose in his heart.
when?
I didn’t realize it at all.
Woo woo!
Just as Zhepu was horrified, he suddenly heard an inarticulate whimpering sound behind him, which was mixed with pain, fear and despair.
He turned his head with difficulty, not caring at all that his movement caused the originally thin red line on his neck to instantly expand, nor caring about the blood that kept oozing out from the red line.
Zeff looked back.
Only then did he realize that the crew members behind him all had a red line around their necks, just like him.
Scarlet blood slowly flowed out along the red line.
“when?”
“Who is it?”
“In a split second, he killed me and all the members of the Chef Pirates with one sword.”
Due to excessive blood loss and a strong feeling of suffocation, Zhepu’s face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As time went by, blood continued to seep from his neck, and he even lost the strength to kneel on the ground.
The body began to fall forward.
With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Zhepu crawled on the land that he had spent a year and went through untold hardships to finally arrive at.
That is, after the Chef Pirates were killed by a sword and the blood stained the Sabaody Archipelago, a flash of sword light disappeared into the horizon like lightning in the sky.
The pirates of the chef group had not even died on the spot due to excessive blood loss and serious injuries, when a flash of cold light had already split the sky, penetrated the sea of clouds, and descended on the headquarters of the navy.
The cold light was as fast as lightning, pointing directly at the naval building. It first flashed in front of Luo Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, admiring the beautiful scenery of Tianhai, then flew back into the room and re-entered the scabbard hanging on the weapon rack.
Take someone s head from thousands of miles away.
It was the famous sword Sakura Juku who set out from the Marine Headquarters, crossed the vast oceans, landed on the Sabaody Archipelago, and wiped out the Chef Pirates with one sword.
This was a stunning scene that could be described as a kendo myth, but no one in the huge Navy Headquarters knew about it except for the initiator, Luo Yan.
Otherwise, no matter whether they are marshals or generals, they will be shocked to find that their understanding of kendo will be refreshed again by Luo Yan.
Even, subversion.
After all, ever since there have been swordsmen in the pirate world, there has never been a swordsman who can take someone’s head from thousands of miles away.
“The Chef Pirates?”
Luo Yan turned around and glanced at Ying Shi in the scabbard, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Just now, when he was controlling Sakura Ju, swung his sword across the sky, descended upon the Sabaody Archipelago, and wiped out the Chef Pirates, it seemed as if he had grown a pair of eyes, and these eyes were connected to his brain.
It made him feel like he had God’s vision, and he could see the entire scenery of the Xiangbo Island Archipelago thousands of miles away.
This cannot be done. Even if Sakura Ju is far away in the Sabaody Archipelago, he can control her with ease.
It feels like you are there, controlling Sakura Ten with your hands.
Chapter 40 Kuzan in danger! Kaido and Hanafuda’s mixed doubles (asking for flowers, collections, and reviews!) (old version)
There was a sudden and hurried knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Luo Yan’s mind was still immersed in the amazing swordplay.
As the sound of the door was pushed open, Gion walked quickly to Luo Yan in high heels.
“Marshal Kong just called.”
“He said there is something very important. Please make sure to go to the Marshal’s office.”
Gion reports to Luoyan.
“Very important?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan withdrew his mind from the sword-wielding technique.
He was a little curious about what exactly was so important that Marshal Kong called it.
You know, even when he held a roundtable meeting last time to discuss how to deal with the Seven Warlords system, Marshal Sora did not use the word “extremely important”.
“From his tone, it seems like he’s in a hurry.”
As Gion spoke, he reached for the hanger, took down the coat of justice, and put it on Luoyan.
Luo Yan became even more curious after hearing this, so he did not delay and immediately went to the Marshal’s office.
Although the marshal’s and the general’s offices were not on the same floor, they were not far away.
Turn the corner and take the elevator up one floor, and then you’ll be there.
When Luo Yan pushed the door and walked into the Marshal’s office, he found that in addition to Marshal Kong and Zhan Guo, there was also Tian Zheng whom he had met last time, and a female general who was about the same age as Zhan Guo and whom he had never met before.
He recognized it at a glance.
Legendary female lieutenant general.
Chief of Staff.
crane.
“Luo Yan, you are here.”
Seeing Luo Yan push the door open and come in,
“The reason I called you here in a hurry is not only because I want to tell you that the Criminal Investigation Bureau has locked down Crocodile’s whereabouts, but also because Kuzan has encountered some troubles.”
He got straight to the point.
“Isn’t Kuzan going to capture Moria and Hanafuda?”
“What kind of trouble could he get into?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
He had never seen a Hanafuda.
But as for Gekko Moriah, even if he wasn’t the fat version but the abdominal muscle version, it would not cause any trouble to Kuzan.
It should be said that even if Hanafuda and the abdominal muscle version of Gekko Moriah join forces, they can’t stop Kuzan’s moves.
After all, Kuzan s ice fruit doesn t seem to be able to freeze people to death.
Unlike Sakaski, every time he attacks, the victim is either killed or maimed.
But in fact, the one who can avoid being frozen by Kuzan is basically at the level of vice-captain.
Pirates below the rank of vice-captain are often frozen in mid-air the moment they face Kuzan.
For example, Charlotte Cracker, one of the four generals of Dessert, and a group of prisoners from the Blackbeard Pirates who escaped from the sixth floor of Impel Prison, were all frozen before they could even resist when facing Kuzan.
The same goes for Donquixote Doflamingo. Kuzan can freeze him in mid-air without even having to make a move.
Moreover, looking at the three types of devil fruit users, Kuzan is the only one who is not afraid of the sea.
“Gekko Moria has been frozen by Kuzan.”
“Currently detained at GL Branch 1 in the New World.”
“Originally, he planned to capture Hanafuda and then escort the two to Impel. He never expected that he would run into Kaido while capturing Hanafuda.”
As soon as Kong said this, the atmosphere in the Marshal’s office suddenly became heavy.
It seems that the name Kaido itself has incredible deterrent power.
“Kaido?”
After hearing this, Rosen’s eyes flashed with realization.
If it was Kaido, then it would be understandable.
No wonder Marshal Kong looked extremely anxious and called him to the Marshal’s office.
“If it was just Kaido, then the problem wouldn’t be too serious.”
“With Kuzan’s strength, even if he is no match for Kaido, if he wants to retreat, Kaido, as the user of the fruit ability, will not be able to stop him.”
“After all, Kuzan is one of the few people who is not afraid of the sea.”
Kong frowned, his tone faintly revealing some worry.
“The problem is with the Hanafuda.”
“If Kuzan fights Kaido one-on-one, he can escape unscathed even if he loses.”
“But Kaido, with the Hanafuda, he can’t just retreat if he wants to.”
Luo Yan nodded slightly to show that he understood.
If Hanafuda were to fight Kuzan alone, there is no doubt that even Hanafuda at its peak would not be enough for Kuzan to defeat with one hand.
But when the two of them joined forces, Kuzan had no chance of winning, and even retreating was extremely difficult.
After all, in the world of pirates, one-on-one fights and group fights are completely different things.
Take the Battle of Onigashima for example.
Trafalgar Law and Eustace Kidd, either one of them would be no match for the elderly Charlotte Lingling alone.
Only to be defeated overwhelmingly by Charlotte Lingling.
But once the two of them joined forces, relying on the advantage of the field and a little bit of luck, they finally defeated Charlotte Linlin on Ghost Island.
Although it cannot be said that they were defeated in the true sense, it was indeed Trafalgar Law and Eustace Kidd who had the last laugh.
The same is true of Rocks D. Gibeck during the Valley of the Gods incident.
Unfortunately, he was defeated by the combined forces of Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp.
The same thing happened to Shiki, who single-handedly wreaked havoc at the Marine Headquarters.
He was beaten up by Monkey D. Garp and Sengoku, and he couldn’t even use his Haki.
Back to Kuzan.
Facing Kaido alone, he already had little chance of winning, let alone a top-level Hanafuda.
Only a hexagonal admiral candidate like Kuzan, with a full health bar and damage tolerance, can hold on until now and send a request for help to the Navy Headquarters.
Replace it with other weak first-line generals.
For example, Fujitora, Green Bull, and Zephyr.
Let alone asking for help, he would have been beaten to death by Kaido and Hanafuda.
“Isn’t Sakaski in the New World?”
“Why not let him go to support Kuzan?”
Luo Yan tapped the table with his fingers.
“Charlotte Linlin conquered a government-affiliated country in the New World because of dessert.”
“Sakaski sent troops to suppress it.”
“And even if he gave up sending troops and didn’t pursue the BIGMOM Pirates, he might not be able to catch up with them at his speed.”
Zhan Guo looked solemn as he spoke out a piece of news.
“And what about Borsalino?”
“His speed is the best in the world.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan nodded slightly.
Among the three general candidates, Sakaski ranks first in combat power.
This is beyond doubt.
But when it comes to mobility, it’s a little lacking.
Although he could rely on the explosive power of the magma eruption to fly for a short period of time, and his speed was not slow at all during the battle, he could not catch up with Borsalino.
Even, you can’t travel the ocean alone on a bicycle like Kuzan did.
Just like Edward Newgate, going to sea still depends on ships.
“He went after Silver Axe some time ago.”
“One is the speed of light, and the other is teleportation.”
“One chased the other and they ended up running to the North Sea.”
The crane sighed:
“Even if we recall Borsalino now, he doesn’t have Kuzan’s life card. He must return to the headquarters from the North Sea before setting off again.”
“It takes too long to go back and forth.”
She shook her head helplessly.
Before Luo Yan opened his mouth, Zhan Guo had already spoken.
“That bastard Garp, he ran off to the East China Sea.”
“He said he was going back to visit his grandson.”
“It’s too late to recall it now.”
Zhan Guo’s face darkened and he was furious.
If Garp was still there, with his strength, and the fact that he is not a special ability user, he could rely on his powerful physical skills, whether it is swimming or moon steps, to rush to support Kuzan.
As a result, at this critical moment, Karp ran back to the East China Sea.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but others may not know, but he knows it clearly.
The so-called grandson was not Monkey D. Garp s grandson at all, but Gol D. Roger s son.
Chapter 41: A Sword that Travels Thousands of Miles and Hundreds of Miles (Please give me flowers, please add me to your collection, please give me comments!) (Old version)
“Grandson?”
Knowing that Garp was returning to the East China Sea to look after Ace, Luo Yan shook his head secretly.
The Great Pirate Era has begun, especially just now.
The pirate craze is at its highest point ever.
The whole world is in chaos.
Even though the Marine Headquarters has many top combat forces besides Admiral Sora, including Sengoku, Monkey D. Garp, and three admiral candidates, it is still often stretched to its limits and has insufficient combat power.
“Luo Yan, I heard that you can fly with a sword.”
“I might have to trouble you to go to Kuzan in person.”
“As for the capture of Crocodile, you can put it on hold for now. But don’t worry, I will have Tianzheng order people to keep an eye on Crocodile and will never let him disappear from the eyes of the navy.”
Sora didn’t use a condescending tone of command, but rather a tone of inquiry and request.
At this moment, he was very glad that he had gone against the majority opinion and appointed Luo Yan as the admiral of the navy in order to recruit this man to join the navy.
Otherwise, the Navy Headquarters will face the embarrassing situation of having no generals available today.
“Marshal Kong, I wouldn’t mind going there in person.”
When Luo Yan said this, his voice paused.
“Is there any difficulty?”
“Just say it.”
“As long as it can save Kuzan, you can ask for anything you want, and we will help you find a solution.”
Seeing this, Kong quickly spoke.
The most urgent task is to support Kuzan.
He is the designated admiral of the navy. If he were to die at the hands of Kaido, it would be a huge loss.
There is no difficulty.
“There is just one thing I need to confirm with Marshal Kong first.”
“Are you planning on capturing Kaido, or do you just want to rescue Kuzan?”
As a naval admiral, Luo Yan certainly didn’t mind making the trip in person.
After all, Kuzan also supported me at the beginning.
Just for this reason, even if they are not colleagues, he would give Kuzan a hand.
“Capture Kaido?”
Kong was stunned.
Faced with the sudden change of Kuzan being imprisoned, his mind was full of thoughts on how to rescue him in the shortest time possible. As for capturing Kaido, he never even thought about it.
Luo Yan nodded slightly, and then said something shocking:
“If the headquarters wants to capture Kaido, then I will go there myself. If you just want to rescue Kuzan, then there is no need to go through so much trouble.”
His words shocked everyone.
“You mean you don’t need to go in person, you can rescue Kuzan even if you are in the Marine Headquarters.”
“is that so?”
Zhan Guo took a deep breath and cleared his thoughts.
All the high-ranking naval officers present were staring at Luo Yan intently.
“People are at the headquarters, rescuing Kuzan?”
“Is this possible?”
“The distance between the Navy Headquarters and Kuzan is at least a thousand kilometers.”
Everyone found it hard to believe Luo Yan’s boast.
It seemed that the other party was not joking, so they had to believe it.
“Go ahead.”
“What is your decision?”
Luo Yan ignored the complicated looks from everyone and asked to the air.
“I believe you.”
Kong looked at Luo Yan, and after confirming that the man was not joking, he nodded vigorously.
After all, this kind of thing can’t fool people.
If you speak nonsense, you will be exposed immediately.
“You have heard a little about the Four Emperors.”
“Since you are determined to oppose the Shichibukai system and fight against it to the end, then don’t bother the Four Emperors for the time being.”
“Let me tell you this. The government has already included Kaido in the candidate list for the Four Emperors. All it takes to declare him the Emperor of the Sea is a battle of sufficient magnitude.”
“The government needs the existence of the Four Emperors as a target to attract the pirates’ firepower and force them into endless infighting.”
“Especially when there is no Shichibukai system to share the burden of the navy and check the pirates.”
“The role of the Four Emperors becomes particularly important.”
Sora looked around and saw that everyone present was a high-ranking member of the Marine Headquarters, either an admiral or someone in a high position, so he revealed a secret:
“Until we have wiped out all the pirates on the list of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it is not appropriate for our headquarters to go into full-scale war with any of the Four Emperors candidates.”
“So, Luo Yan.”
“You just need to rescue Kuzan.”
He said in a deep voice.
Facing Kong’s sincere confession, Luo Yan nodded slightly to show that he understood.
“I’ll leave it to you.”
After saying this, Kong let out a breath of foul air.
“It’s just Kaido. He’s not as troublesome as you think, Marshal Sora.”
Luo Yan shook his head and chuckled:
“Where’s Kuzan’s life card?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong had already opened the drawer and took out a small life card.
The life card of the admiral candidate is the top secret of the Navy Headquarters.
In order to avoid causing resentment and discomfort, life cards are usually only left at the Navy Headquarters when performing missions.
Normally, I wouldn’t stay.
In other words, the small life card in Kong’s hand will be taken away again after Kuzan returns from the mission.
No backup will be kept.
“After you use it, remember to return it to Kuzan.”
Kong handed the life card to Luo Yan and reminded him.
Luo Yan nodded slightly, then fixed Kuzan’s life card on Mu Ku’s hilt.
Luo Yan did not make any movement, and did not even grasp the hilt of the sword, but Mu Ku had already unsheathed it by itself.
then.
Under the shocked, disbelieving, stunned and astonished gazes of Kong, Zhan Guo, He and Tian Zheng, Mu Ku turned into a silver light and flew away in the air like a silver dragon flying in the sky.
“Are you planning to fly the sword at the headquarters and then go deal with Kaido?”
Even Kong’s speech was somewhat halting, and one could imagine how the Admiral’s emotions were fluctuating at the moment.
Luo Yan did not hide anything and admitted it immediately.
When everyone heard this, they felt their scalps tingling and they all took a breath of cold air at the same time.
Depart from the Navy Headquarters, head to the New World, and then to where Kuzan is.
The distance between them is more than a thousand miles.
Even for devil fruits that cannot be measured by common sense, there are not many fruit abilities that can interfere with things thousands of miles away.
What’s more, Luo Yan is not a person with special abilities, but a swordsman.
Without holding the sword himself, he traveled thousands of miles to deal with one of the candidates for the Emperor of the Sea.
Kaido.
How horrifying this is.
“If you go in a straight line, the distance between the Navy Headquarters and Kuzan is about 1,100 kilometers.”
“Is this really okay?”
Tianzheng gritted his teeth and said this.
Everyone else looked straight into Luo Yan’s eyes.
“About 1,100 kilometers?”
Luo Yan heard this and hesitated for a moment before saying:
“One sword can travel a thousand miles.”
It s not a big problem.
As soon as he said this.
The huge marshal’s office suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Chapter 42 Kuzan: If I don t push myself, I won t know how good I am at fighting (Please give me flowers, collections, and comments!) (Old version)
One sword can travel a thousand or a hundred miles.
What a horrifying thing this is.
Before Luo Yan appeared out of nowhere, let alone flying a sword for thousands of miles, even being able to fly a sword and kill the enemy without holding the sword with hands was something like a myth.
It should be said that before Luo Yan joined the navy, even it was impossible for kendo to surpass domineering.
But what about now?
First he killed Shiki with three sword strikes, then he used the 10,000 swords of the navy to kill Admiral Kurobi, proving that kendo can surpass domineering.
These scenes have already astonished everyone in this department who heard about it.
What’s more, he flew a sword thousands of miles away, saved the collapsing building, and saved Ku Zan from danger.
This is even more mythical than myth.
New world.
The rough sea is frozen for hundreds of miles.
In the icy cold field, a tall figure was hiding and fleeing here and there like a stray dog.
“Alalalalalalalal!”
“It’s really unlucky.”
“If I had known this, I should have taken Moria back to Impel first. That way, I wouldn’t have run into Kaido when I went to capture Hanafuda.”
Kuzan dodged and cursed inwardly.
The once majestic coat of justice had now become a beggar’s coat, covered with holes and strips of cloth, and stained red with blood.
You can imagine how dangerous his situation was.
“Hot breath!”
Above the sky, bright flames flashed, as if to dye the sky red.
Accompanied by a deafening sound of breaking through the air, a hot dragon flame as hot as magma and as violent as lightning fell from the sky and shot towards Kuzan’s location.
“Did you catch up so soon?”
“What a monster.”
No wonder he was able to escape from the Bank penalty area.
Feeling the pressure of the heat wave coming from the sky, Kuzan didn’t even need to use his Observation Haki to perceive, and he knew that not only was he caught up by Kaido, but his position was also locked by the other party.
“Ice cube, exploding pheasant beak.”
Kuzan retreated rapidly, not daring to stop at all, while condensing the cold air in his right arm and slapping it towards the sky with his backhand.
The ice bird spread its wings and soared into the sky, carrying with it a chilling cold air that could freeze even magma, and headed straight for the heat.
Hiss
Dragon flame and ice.
Heat and ice bird.
As soon as the two collided, a wave of cold and hot air exploded in the void, raising a white fog that covered the sky and the sun.
Just as Kuzan was resisting the heat, a burst of hurried and heavy footsteps was heard.
He turned his head and saw a twenty-meter-long Tyrannosaurus Rex, like a moving hill, stepping on the ice and rushing towards him like a cannonball.
“Hanazha!”
Kuzan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The person who came was the user of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, ancient species, Tyrannosaurus Rex form.
Flower Notes.
“Ichisho Style: Dragon Fang Flash.”
The moment it approached Kuzan, Hanafuda transformed from Tyrannosaurus form to Tyrannosaurus Rex-Human Beast form, holding a sickle, wrapped in armed Haki, and slashed forward like a gust of wind.
There was a flash of the knife, and Kuzan’s shoulder was cut off at the root.
Not a drop of blood flowed from the wound on the broken arm.
Foresee the future!
“This guy is so stubborn?”
When Hanafuda saw this scene, his pupils constricted and his heart tightened.
He didn’t expect that Kuzan could still calmly and calmly use his Observation Haki in such a critical moment when he was outnumbered.
Not only did he block Kaido’s heat breath, he even transformed into an element in advance to avoid his own attacks.
In fact, Kuzan was also quite surprised.
If he hadn’t pushed himself, he wouldn’t have known that he was such a good fighter.
He was able to fight Kaido and Hanafuda for such a long time while fighting and running in a one-on-two situation.
“Frozen moment.”
While the Hanafuda was about to strike empty, Kuzan’s left hand shot out like lightning and grabbed the sickle like an eagle’s claw.
hiss–
The freezing air erupted like a mountain torrent and tsunami, instantly freezing the sickle and the hanafuda into ice.
The ability to foresee the future.
Frozen fruit that freezes everything.
Whether it is the ability of the fruit or the domineering, Kuzan is better than Hanafuda in all aspects.
If it were any other time, he would just need to punch or kick the hanafuda that had been frozen into an ice sculpture. Even if he couldn’t turn the hanafuda into ice chips, at least he could cripple one or both arms of the opponent.
have no choice.
He is now one against two.
In addition to Hanafuda, the other opponent is Kaido, the King of Beasts, who has little chance of winning even if he fights alone.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh.”
“The Navy’s Admiral candidate is quite strong!”
“You can still hold on until now in the face of me and Hanafuda.”
Kaido’s voice exploded in the sky like thunder, but even faster than the sound was his divine speed.
Purple roaring thunder spread across the ice field like a lightning net covering the sky and the sun.
Whether it was the thunder or Kaido’s voice, before they reached Kuzan’s ears, a burly figure dressed as half human, half dragon, shaped like a demon, was holding a mace wrapped in overlord-colored black lightning, and flashed to Kuzan’s side like lightning in the sky.
“Thunderous gossip!”
The mace swept out, carrying the mighty sword, and headed straight for Kuzan’s face.
“Ice Fists.”
Kuzan originally wanted to smash the ice sculpture with one kick, but facing Kaido’s close attack, he could only change his tactics and cover his fists with cold air to form ice gloves.
The armed color domineering aura surged out like a torrent, wrapping around the fist and hardening it.
The fist was like an icy meteorite, hitting Kaido’s neck directly.
The loud thunder exploded, spreading in all directions.
A huge black lightning bolt like a giant python tore through the ice field, rising from the ground and rushing straight into the sky.
The icy cold air spread in all directions like a storm, and even the air was frozen wherever it passed.
In a flash, Kuzan’s domineering iron fist covered with ice gloves hit Kaido’s neck, but at the same time, Kaido’s mace wrapped with domineering domineering also swept his abdomen.
The two men’s bodies froze, and they trembled slightly on the spot. Then they flew backwards to both sides at the same time, like cannonballs, flying a thousand meters away.
The moment Kaido landed on the ground, his whole body froze into ice.
Kuzan hit the ice, felt dizzy, and spurted out a stream of scarlet blood.
But he didn’t dare to stay for a moment and turned around and left immediately.
At this moment, the sound of breaking ice was heard.
Hanafuda, who had been frozen into an ice sculpture before, had seized the opportunity and used his domineering power to break through the ice and break out.
“Kuzan!”
Hanafuda’s body was trembling with cold, but relying on the physique and recovery ability of the ancient animal species, he still gripped the sickle tightly and rushed forward quickly.
He is very clear about his position.
That is to hold Kuzan back.
After all, the other party’s target is himself.
This time he was lucky as he happened to run into Kaido’s gun. Otherwise, he would not even have the chance to escape like Kuzan. He would have been frozen into ice on the spot, then packed up and taken away and imprisoned in Impel Prison.
Therefore, even at the heaviest price, Hanafuda must keep Kuzan.
Kuzan didn’t bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He exhaled into ice, creating an ice blade, and then reached out and grasped it in his hand.
The three candidates for admiral, without exception, are all proficient in fists, swords, kicks, domineering, and devil fruit abilities.
It s just that after practicing boxing with Garp, he rarely uses swordsmanship.
When fighting against humans, he prefers fruit abilities and physical skills.
Chapter 43: Flying a thousand miles with a sword, taking the head of the flower note (asking for flowers, collection, and evaluation!) (old version)
Kuzan exhaled and turned his breath into a sword, holding the ice sword in his hand. His armament Haki turned into a dark stream of light, which wrapped around the ice sword, forming a black knife of ice.
Hanafuda was not willing to be outdone, and the sickle in his hand was wrapped with armed Haki, and he stabbed straight at his throat.
As the sword flashed, the two men crossed each other’s paths and stood in the position before the other drew his sword.
The moment his body stopped suddenly, a thin red line appeared on Hanafuda’s chest. Before the scarlet blood could spray out, it was frozen by an extremely cold air, closing the wound.
Hanafuda’s body trembled, his face turned pale and ugly, and a heart-wrenching scream came from his mouth.
But the next second.
From head to toe, the whole person was frozen into ice.
Kuzan’s sword not only ripped him open and allowed the cold air to penetrate his internal organs, it also froze him again.
On the other hand, Kuzan, although covered with wounds, remained unscathed after frozing the Hanafuda with his sword.
He was not hurt at all by the opponent’s blade.
What to do.
Kaido, who had previously fought with Kuzan, was knocked away by the Ice Iron Fist and frozen into an ice sculpture. The ice on his body cracked into countless criss-cross lines, and then red flames spread out along the cracks, like magma erupting from a volcano.
In an instant, wisps of white mist rose from his body, and the ice that froze his body did not break but melted away.
As heavy footsteps sounded, Kaido’s body was covered with red dragon flames, like a flaming dragon, emitting overwhelming domineering aura, and melted out of the ice.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh!”
Kaido first glanced at the frozen Hanafuda, then grinned, his face showing a happy, satisfied and passionate fighting spirit:
He flashed like an arrow, surrounded by purple roaring thunder, breaking through the sound barrier. His speed was so fast that even if one used the observation Haki to foresee the future, he might not be able to defend against it.
“Roaring Thunder Gossip!”
Kaido flashed through the air, his body suspended in the air, hanging above Kuzan’s head.
He grasped the mace in both hands, and his overlord’s aura was wrapped around the roaring thunder of the Azure Dragon, forming two-color lightning, one purple and one black, which entangled the mace.
A stick smashed down, shattering and collapsing the atmosphere.
After freezing the Hanafuda with one sword, Kuzan wanted to put away his sword and leave, but Kaido’s ability was too comprehensive. He surrounded his body with dragon flames, melting the ice in an instant, and then attacked him again.
In desperation, he could only clench his five fingers into a fist, with the ice gloves and armed color domineering wrapped around his fist, and use the special skills learned from the navy hero, and combine them with his own fruit ability.
“Glacier Impact!”
A punch flew into the air, hitting the mace directly.
The roar was loud enough to cover the thunder and shake the universe. The sound was so great that it even broke the ice field under the feet of the two people into pieces and caused it to collapse.
The two-colored lightning bolts were like two dragons emerging from the sea, roaring in all directions.
Waves of freezing fist force spread out like a storm, shattering everything.
The billowing white mist mixed with thick smoke rose into the sky and formed a huge mushroom cloud above the two people’s heads.
Just as Kaido’s mace and Kuzan’s ice fist were in a stalemate and violently colliding, the ice sculpture not far from the two of them slowly cracked and gradually shattered.
Hanafuda, who had broken the ice with great difficulty, half-knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.
Relying on the vitality and recovery ability of the ancient species, he showed his tenacity and did not completely lose his fighting power.
After panting for a while, Hanafuda picked up the frozen weapon, and armed color domineering flowed from his palm. He slashed at the back of Kuzan’s neck who was in a fierce confrontation with Kaido.
Die!
The Hanafuda’s facial features are distorted and the expression is ferocious.
He was already in the human-beast form of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and now he looked even more ferocious and violent.
Kaido noticed Hanafuda’s actions. Once the opponent’s attack landed on Kuzan, victory would be waving to him.
But when he saw this scene, instead of feeling the joy of defeating a powerful enemy, he felt empty inside, and then an unknown anger ignited.
At first, because Hanafuda was his partner and helped the Beasts Pirates collect a lot of animal-type devil fruits, and Kuzan, a navy, actually broke into his territory to arrest people.
It’s obvious that she doesn’t take him seriously.
Because of this, after seeing that Hanafuda was defeated, Kaido chose to take action without hesitation and beat up Kuzan.
But after a fierce battle, he saw Kuzan fighting one against two, but he was so stubborn and unyielding that he had a great fight with him.
This couldn’t help but make him feel a complicated sense of sympathy.
It is impossible to let Kuzan go.
But it was true that he didn’t want anyone to interfere in his fight with Kuzan and wanted to kill the other party with his own hands.
“Mr. Karp.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It seems that I, as your disciple, am a bit embarrassing for you.”
Kuzan also felt the Hanafuda blade slashing towards his neck. He felt no fear, only bitterness and a bit of depression:
“It seems that I will not only fail miserably in this operation to capture the list of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but I will also become the only one among the three admiral candidates who died in the line of duty before being promoted to admiral.”
I really can t accept this!
“I want to beat you once too!”
He sighed secretly, and then his eyes flashed with a cold red light.
As Garp’s disciple.
Admiral candidate of the Navy Headquarters.
Even if he dies in battle, he will leave Kaido with pain that he will never forget.
There are also Hanafuda.
If you can’t send Kaido away, then send him away.
Just when Kuzan made up his mind and gave up the idea of escaping, and decided to severely injure Kaido at all costs and send Hanafuda away on the spot, a shrill sword sounded, like the roar of a dragon and a tiger, shaking the sky.
Because of the fight between the three people, the weather changed drastically and the sky was covered with thick dark clouds.
At this moment, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the sea of clouds that stretched for who knows how many kilometers.
A shocking sword light descended from the sky like a dragon, carrying with it an infinite sharp edge, piercing through the Hanafuda at lightning speed, entering from the back and exiting from the chest.
The movement of swinging the Hanafuda sword suddenly became stiff, and the pale and ferocious face showed astonishment and pain.
Before he could react, his body, pierced by the sword, was already bleeding profusely.
Streams of blood sprayed out.
As the sharp blade pierced his body, his strength was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His five fingers loosened, and the sickle in his hand flew out and fell on the shattered ice field.
The sword light that pierced the Hanafuda was like a roc spreading its wings, soaring up to 90,000 miles and rushing into the sky, and then it made a sharp turn in the sea of clouds, leaving a thrilling sword mark.
The sharp sword light, like a divine weapon descending from the sky, pointed at Kaido’s crown.
As the strongest creature on land, sea and air in the future.
Kaido is a veteran of many battles, and he is far superior to Hanafuda in terms of strength, experience, and even fighting instincts.
Even though he often relied on his indestructible body to continuously take damage from his opponents during battle, he knew very well which damage he could take and which he could not.
Although his Observation Haki did not sense the Armament Haki or Conqueror Haki from the sword light, the sharpness of the sword edge made him tremble.
This feeling made him understand.
Even a body of diamond, with the blessing of dragon scales of the mythical beast Azure Dragon, could not withstand this sword.
Chapter 44: Get out! The man is in the headquarters, and the sword cuts the blue dragon (please give flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
Facing the sword light coming from the air.
In a flash, Kaido suddenly twisted his neck and turned his head to the side.
The sword flashed and crossed the sky.
The thick ice field was split into two.
A scarlet blood line started from Kaido’s neck and spread all the way to his abdomen.
The piercing pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow was enough to make even the strongest creature on land, sea or air unable to hold back from letting out a roar like muffled thunder.
Just as Kaido was injured and roaring, although Kuzan was also shocked by the sudden sword light, his hands did not slow down at all.
After being beaten up for a long time by Kaido and Hanafuda, he immediately seized the fleeting opportunity, stepped forward, and launched a close-range punch.
One punch to implement.
An extremely cold shock formed by freezing air, domineering aura and fist force burst out from Kuzan’s fist. With one punch, the sword light broke through the dragon scales, and the injured Kaido was knocked back a thousand meters in the air.
The stunning sword light that first cut Hanafuda and then Kaido broke through the ice field, soared into the air, and hung in front of Kuzan.
He looked around and finally saw the formation of sword lights that saved him from the danger.
“Muku!”
“Isn’t that Luo Yan’s sword?”
“In that case, he is here?”
After recognizing Mu Ku at a glance, Kuzan’s pupils constricted, and he was surprised and happy.
He thought that even if someone came to rescue him, it would be either the fastest Porsarno or his teacher Monkey D. Garp. He didn’t expect it to be Luo Yan.
Controlling the famous sword Mu Ku, a magical weapon descends from the sky and reverses the situation.
Kuzan looked around and found that there was no sign of Luo Yan on the endless ice field.
A red light flashed in his eyes, and his observation Haki spread out in all directions like an invisible storm.
Within a radius of dozens of kilometers, Luo Yan’s presence could not be sensed at all.
“Ala la la ala?”
“Mu Ku is clearly here, but Luo Yan’s presence is not there.”
Kuzan was stunned.
If Mu Ku hadn’t been hanging beside him at this moment, he couldn’t help but wonder if he was hallucinating.
Kuzan turned his head to look at Mu Ku who was flying in the air with his sword and tried to ask a question.
The next scene shocked him.
Mu Ku actually turned the sword, like a human, and shook it slightly towards himself.
As if nodding in response.
“You, where are you?”
Seeing this, Kuzan was completely certain that the person who saved him from danger was Luo Yan.
Not to mention the world of pirates, no one can take Mu Ku away from Luo Yan, even if they can.
But apart from Luo Yan, no one else can fly the sword from the air.
Suddenly, a loud sound of ice breaking came from a distance.
Kaido, who had been knocked away and frozen into ice, has broken out of the ice.
“Isn’t that Shiki’s sword?”
“Why are you here?”
“That guy Shiqi, isn’t he dead?”
At this time, Kaido’s gaze also fell on Mu Ku.
As a former member of the Rocks Group, he recognized him immediately.
This sword is Shiqi’s sword.
Kaido frowned.
If he remembered correctly, the headline of the previous issue of the newspaper was the news that Shi Ji had been beheaded.
But the dead tree in front of me was floating in the air.
As far as he could remember, Shiki was the only one who could make objects fly in the air.
Facing Kaido’s questioning, Mu Ku forced the Dragon God away, cut through the ice, and wrote the next word.
roll!
When Kaido saw it, the dragon’s face suddenly became cold and ferocious.
He has an erratic personality.
No matter what happened to Mu Ku who was injuring him, just the word “get out” in front of him was enough to make him want to kill.
“I don’t care who you are.”
“I will break this sword!”
Kaido’s mouth opened into a fierce smile, and a circular crack appeared on the ice field beneath his feet. The dark and deep Overlord Black Thunder gushed out like magma:
“By then, you should show up!”
He raised his mace, and the overlord-colored black lightning coiled around the weapon like a winding black dragon.
Seeing that Kaido wanted to fight again, Mu Ku’s sword suddenly burst into a clanging sound, and sharp and surging sword energy burst out and lingered around the sword.
Even if he just looked at it with his naked eyes, Kaido felt a chill all over his body.
He was about to take action, but his movements froze slightly.
“Ala la la la la!”
“You’ve forgotten about me, haven’t you?”
“Kaido.”
Kuzan took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Muku, his left hand covered with an ice glove, his right hand holding an ice sword, staring coldly at Kaido:
“Before, you and Hanafuda were fighting against me alone.”
“Now it’s our turn.”
“Two against you one.”
Thinking of the mixed doubles attack by Kaido and Hanafuda before, even someone as good-tempered as Kuzan, who had eaten the ice fruit, was extremely angry at this moment.
Kaido said nothing when he heard this, but his dragon eyes, which were filled with brutality, showed a hint of shrewdness.
Don’t be fooled by his rough appearance and moody personality, he is actually very shrewd and has many strategies.
Especially since he is not yet one of the future Four Emperors.
The strongest creature on land, sea and air.
Because he can’t find an opponent and is extremely bored, he often challenges the other four emperors and the Marine Headquarters.
Not to mention the distant future, there is a powerful enemy waiting for him in Wano Country.
If the opponent is a Moku or Kuzan, Kaido will choose to fight to the end if facing either one alone.
But when it’s one against two, it’s not about being cowardly, but about considering whether this battle is worth fighting.
Thinking of Kozuki Oden who is still dancing naked in Wano Country.
Thinking of Onigashima and the still-developing Beasts Pirates.
Thinking about facing Muku and Kuzan head-on, the chances of winning with one sword and one person, as well as the consequences of defeat and the rewards of victory.
After weighing for a long time, Kaido glanced at the word “Get lost” carved by Mu Ku on the ice field.
His dragon eyes flashed coldly, and he finally decided to fight to the end.
Anyway, it s not the first time he s been defeated and captured. At worst, after the defeat, he ll be imprisoned again in Bank s restricted area and used by Bega Bank for experiments.
Seeing the murderous look in Kaido’s eyes, Kuzan became alert, tense and ready to strike.
Just when Kaido was determined to fight and Kuzan was ready for battle, a sound of liquid gushing out suddenly sounded.
Kaido groaned, and a stream of blood suddenly spurted out from the hideous wound left by Mu Ku’s sword that cut through his dragon scales.
He felt a sharp pain deep into his bones at the wound.
It was as if there was an invisible knife in the dragon’s bones, scraping through the bone gaps.
Kaido took a deep breath in pain.
With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, under Kuzan’s astonished gaze, Kaido, who just had an unfathomable blood bar and looked like a god of war, trembled and knelt on one knee on the ice.
As Kaido’s knees hit the ice, the various features of his Blue Dragon-beast form were disappearing rapidly.
In an instant, he changed from the half-human, half-dragon Qinglong human-beast form back into human form.
“Why does it hurt so much?”
“Obviously, the sword just now didn’t contain even a hint of domineering aura.”
“How could it be so powerful?”
Kaido, who was beaten back to his original form by a sword, opened his eyes wide, and a hint of disbelief appeared on his ferocious face.
What was even more jarring to him was that the blood that had just spurted out from the wound landed right in the font that was drawn by Mu Ku when he cut through the ice.
Every stroke was dyed and filled with dragon blood.
Forming a scarlet, eye-catching word “?”.
Chapter 45: Sword-fighting Kaido, shocking the headquarters (asking for flowers, collections, and comments!) (old version)
Kaido half-knelt on the ground, covering the dragon scales that were cut by Mu Ku with one hand.
Scarlet dragon blood slowly seeped out from between his fingers.
Facing Kaido’s questioning, Sakura wrote with ten quick strokes, sword light flashed across, outlining two characters on the ice.
Kaido stared at the words on the ice, his pupils shrinking slightly:
He released his hand that was covering the wound on his neck and found that his palm was covered with scarlet blood, as if it had just been soaked in a pool of blood.
All along, he has been born with a diamond body, coupled with the vitality and recovery ability of the mythical beast species, the blue dragon form.
Even if you are injured, the bleeding will stop quickly and the wound will heal without leaving any trace.
But now, Kaido discovered that the sword wound left by Mu Ku on his body not only caused deep pain in his bone marrow, but also could not stop the bleeding at all.
This kind of thing is rare in life.
It’s not like he had never been injured before.
Not to mention the distant past, just take the time when they joined forces with Hanafuda to besiege Kuzan, they were injured by Kuzan more than once.
But what really caused injuries and pain was Kuzan’s armament domineering, combined with internal destruction techniques and extreme cold air, which caused damage to internal organs.
This kind of injury will stabilize quickly and recover over time and will not continue to worsen.
It will not be like it is now, where even the bleeding cannot be stopped.
The diamond body and the recovery ability of the mythical beast species, the Azure Dragon form, seemed to be useless in front of Mu Ku’s sword.
The most important thing is that Luo Yan did not visit the new world in person.
Just send a handful of dead wood to the battlefield.
How could Kaido not be moved?
“I’ll come back to see you.”
Kaido stared at Mu Ku deeply, then turned and left, leaving two rows of bloody footprints on the ice field.
If he still felt somewhat unwilling to stop the war and retreat before, that was no longer the case now.
The man has not arrived, but the sword has.
The sword spanned countless kilometers and broke the dragon scales.
With one sword, he cut himself back to his original form.
With this kind of strength, Kaido is convinced even if he retreats.
After all, even Kozuki Oden, whom he regarded as his greatest enemy and whom he had to delay with strategies to gain time to develop, did not have such astonishing swordsmanship.
“Do you want to keep him?”
Kuzan looked hesitant and turned to look at Mu Ku beside him.
Although Luo Yan did not come, he had discovered that the other party could communicate with him through Mu Ku.
Not only can you see what is happening here, you can even hear your own words.
It was as if an invisible giant hand grabbed the hilt of Mu Ku’s sword, and then used the ice as paper to write a word.
Walk.
Seeing this, Kuzan thought:
“Is it because you didn’t come?”
He tried to ask.
This time, Mu Ku did not continue writing on the ice, but instead let out a sword sound in the air.
Seems to be responding to Kuzan.
By sensing the wood with his observation Haki, Kuzan actually felt like he was having a conversation with Luo Yan:
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
“Then forget it.”
“Thanks to you, I not only saved my life, but also got a Hanafuda for free.”
He gave up the idea of fighting Kaido again, and after his mind relaxed, he couldn’t help but take a breath.
I was so nervous, my will was as strong as iron, and I was concentrating on the battle, so I didn’t notice anything.
Now that I relaxed, I immediately felt waves of pain all over my body.
Especially the places that were attacked by Kaido with his domineering aura, the piercing pain invaded the nerves like a tide.
Seeing that Kuzan looked seriously injured, Mu Ku flew in front of him and pointed the hilt of the sword at his body.
“You want me to catch Muku?”
Seeing this, Kuzan reacted immediately.
He knew that Luo Yan was afraid that he was seriously injured and would encounter pirates on his way back.
Then, the tiger was bullied by the dog when it fell into plain water.
After all, this is the New World, and pirates are aplenty.
In the original work, Hanafuda returned to the New World with injuries after the battle with Portgas D. Ace, but was killed by his former enemy on the way.
The Mu Ku sword shook slightly, and a sword sound was heard in response.
“Alalalalalalal!”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you once more.”
Kuzan was not a person who cared much about his reputation. He was very grateful for Luo Yan’s kindness. Although he did not say any words of thanks, he kept this incident in mind.
He held the hilt of Mu Ku’s sword with one hand and lifted Hanafuda’s body with the other.
The Mu Ku hanging in the air was like a roc spreading its wings, and soaring up to 90,000 miles with the bodies of Kuzan and Hanafuda.
He flew across the sea and over the mountains until he arrived at the nearest naval base. After dropping Kuzan off, he soared into the sky and flew away.
“This time, I really owe you a huge favor!”
Kuzan watched Mu Ku fly away, but he was thinking about how to repay this favor.
suddenly.
He remembered something he got when he captured Moonlight Moria.
I originally wanted to keep it as a collectible.
But now, it seems very suitable to give it to Luo Yan as a token of gratitude.
Naval headquarters.
A burst of sword light broke through the air, like a flying dragon in the sky, carrying with it a sound barrier that was visible to the naked eye, and rushed towards the naval building standing tall in Maryford.
Just as the sword light was about to collide with the building, it suddenly made a sharp turn in mid-air, dragging a thrilling arc, then passed through a large balcony, flew into a spacious office, and finally hovered in front of Luo Yan.
It was the famous sword Muku that came to the New World, cut down the Hanafudas, defeated Kaido, and returned in triumph.
The sword flashed, and Mu Ku returned to the sheath, with the tip of the sword completely inserted into the sheath at Luo Yan’s waist.
“It’s over.”
“Kuzan is fine.”
After recalling Mu Ku, Luo Yan spoke to Kong, Zhan Guo, He and Tian Zheng who had been staring at him.
“That, Luo Yan.”
Is it really solved?
“It’s not that I doubt you, nor do I distrust your abilities, it’s just.”
Sora spoke in a rare halting manner.
It was true that Luo Yan’s swordsmanship completely shattered his understanding of kendo.
After all, even the myths in the pirate world are not that exaggerated.
The man is in the headquarters, yet he can fly a sword a thousand miles away.
That’s fine.
With just one sword, he was able to force Kaido back even though they were thousands of miles apart.
Before Sora could finish his words, a Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly chirped.
Seeing this, Kong could only stop temporarily and reach out to pick up the microphone.
He adjusted his tone and returned to his usual calmness.
“I’m fine here.”
Kuzan’s voice came out of Den Den Mushi’s mouth and echoed in the marshal’s office.
Everyone looked at Luo Yan with shock in their eyes, as if they were looking at a god.
Chapter 46 Do you want me to temporarily avoid Whitebeard’s edge? (Please give flowers, please collect, please comment!) (Old version)
Kuzan called back and although he didn’t say anything, he just said that everything was fine, but just this one sentence shocked everyone present.
Marshal Kong.
General Warring States.
The Great Staff Crane.
There is also Tian Zheng, deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
Everyone was shocked beyond words.
Mu Ku returned to the Navy Headquarters in front of everyone and returned to Luo Yan, and then Ku Zan called back right after.
They absolutely don’t believe that there is no connection between the two.
“Marshal Kong, if possible, please give a message to Brother Luo Yan for me.”
“I’m very grateful for what happened this time.”
Before Sora, Sengoku and the others could recover from their shock, Kuzan’s voice rang out from Den Den Mushi’s mouth.
“Kuzan, can you tell me what happened?”
Kong first glanced at Luo Yan, then couldn’t help but want to know about Kuzan’s experience.
It’s not that I doubt Luo Yan, nor that I don’t believe him, I’m just purely curious.
He really wanted to know how Luo Yan was able to stay in the headquarters and defeat Kaido with a single sword that could travel a thousand miles.
Not only Sora, but even Sengoku, Tsuru, and Amanesa pricked up their ears, as if listening attentively.
“What was the situation at that time?”
“How can I put it?”
“Kaidou and Hanafuda teamed up to attack me. I was about to destroy the Hanafuda and leave Kaidou with a memory that he would never forget. Then I saw a ray of sword light suddenly descend.”
Kuzan paused for a moment, then recounted the situation at that time:
“First, the sword pierced through the Hanafuda, killing him on the spot, and then it injured Kaido.”
“I only saw it clearly afterwards. It turned out to be Brother Luo Yan’s sword, Mu Ku.”
“After that! Kaido wanted to continue fighting at first, but the sword from Brother Luo Yan seemed to have caused him pain far beyond his imagination, and even cut Kaido back from the Azure Dragon Beast form to the human form with one sword.”
“When he left, the sword wound on his body was still bleeding.”
“Then Brother Luo Yan was worried that I was too seriously injured and would encounter other pirates, so he sent me to a nearby naval base.”
“Yes! That’s how it is.”
The huge marshal’s office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Although from the moment Kuzan called back to reassure him that he was safe, Kong, Zhan Guo and others were certain that Luo Yan had really done it.
But when the person involved described the situation at the scene personally, they learned that the young man in front of them could travel thousands of miles with a sword, cut through Hanafuda, defeat Kaido, and save Kuzan, they were still horrified.
It feels like listening to mythological stories as a child and being there.
“Um, Marshal Kong.”
“There is something I want to confirm with you.”
Kuzan seemed to be aware of the shock of Kong, Sengoku and the others, so after he finished his story, he was silent for a moment, giving the senior executives at the headquarters time to accept and digest it.
“you say.”
Sora came back to his senses, but his voice was still tinged with shock.
“Brother Luo Yan, is he at the Navy Headquarters?”
“Or so I should ask.”
“Was he in the headquarters when he was driving Muku to rescue me?”
Kuzan asked a question that had been pent up in his mind.
Kong looked at Luo Yan, then hummed heavily:
“Luo Yan, he has been at the headquarters all the time.”
Sora didn’t forget to add one more sentence.
Kuzan on the other end of the phone was noticeably silent.
He was so shocked by the answer that he couldn’t put into words.
“Thank you.”
Kuzan hung up the phone.
beep–
At this time, the only sound in the huge office was the busy tone of the telephone bug.
Everyone looked at Luo Yan quietly without saying a word.
It seemed as if he was still trying to digest the kendo myth he had just witnessed.
“Now that Kuzan’s problem has been solved, let’s talk about Crocodile!”
“I remember you mentioned when we came in that the Criminal Investigation Bureau already had information about Crocodile.”
After a while, Luo Yan finally spoke, breaking the silence that enveloped the Marshal’s office.
“Don’t you need to rest first?”
Thinking of how Luo Yan had just performed a sword-flying legend of a thousand miles in front of him and others, Zhan Guo couldn’t help but ask.
In his opinion.
Thousands of miles away, Kaido was defeated with his sword.
Even though Luo Yan was an expert in swordsmanship, it must have consumed a lot of energy to achieve such an astonishing result.
“It’s just Crocodile. There’s no need to bother with that.”
Of course he understood what Zhan Guo meant.
He is flying a thousand miles with his sword, and his opponent is Kaido, so there will definitely be some consumption.
However, because there was no need to defeat Kaido, but only to force him back, he only used two swords in total.
The burden is not too great.
If he were to go to war with the Four Emperors, Luo Yan would definitely choose to rest well and conserve his strength, but his opponent is Crocodile.
In his opinion, there was no need to do this when a big pirate like this could be dealt with with just one sword.
What’s more, you can take a rest on the way to capture the other party.
“In fact, I suggest you take a few days off before setting off again.”
At this time, Tianzheng said something unexpected.
“reason.”
Luo Yan did not refute immediately, but wanted to hear the other party’s reason for saying so.
After all, as the director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Tian Zheng must have some information that he doesn’t know about since he said so.
“Based on the intelligence we have so far.”
“Crocodile is now in the New World, an island called Fodvidian Island.”
“Looking at the New World, this island is nothing special, but it is an island governed by Edward Newgate.”
“The most important thing is that the location of this island is not too far from the sea where the Whitebeard Pirates are located.”
Tian Zheng stopped talking here, but what he wanted to express was very clear.
“So, you want me to avoid Whitebeard for a while?”
“Wait until Crocodile leaves his territory, then capture him.”
“Is that what you mean? Tianzheng.”
Luo Yan leaned against the sofa and looked at Tian Zheng with interest.
“Edward Newgate.”
“The strongest man in the world.”
“After the execution of Gol D. Roger, he is the closest thing to being the Pirate King.”
Tian Zheng met Luo Yan’s gaze without dodging:
“Based on the current situation, the best solution is to avoid the enemy’s attack and then arrest them.”
“Lieutenant General Kuzan is the best example.”
“And compared to Kaido, Edward Newgate is undoubtedly more powerful.”
Adhering to the principle of serving the navy wholeheartedly, he did not show any guilt when facing Luo Yan.
“indeed.”
“Kuzan didn’t take this into account when he captured Hanafuda, which is why he ended up in prison.”
“Whitebeard is not like Kaido. Even the Marine Headquarters needs a monster who goes all out.”
As an old friend of Edward Newgate, Zhan Guo said he had the most say.
“I understand what Tianzheng means.”
“Mr. Zhan Guo’s words are not without reason.”
Luo Yan first admitted that what Tian Zheng and Zhan Guo said made sense, then he paused and changed the subject:
“Everyone.”
“When I was a bounty hunter, I saw many pirates. When they encountered the navy, they usually chose to flee at the first sign of trouble.”
“Why after I became an admiral, you told me that the navy should temporarily avoid the pirates?”
He looked around at everyone. His voice was not loud, but it was deafening and shocked everyone.
