Codex Pirates

Chapter 123 From beginning to end

Everyone in the hall heard what Andre said, and Norton I praised him. In his opinion, this attitude is exactly the arrogance that the strongest person in the kingdom should have!

Arcadio sighed, and had the urge to hide his face and walk away. He was worried that the next situation would become ugly, especially when Andre was so high-profile.

Andre picked up a two-handed giant sword from the weapon rack, then walked to the open space in the center of the hall, and bent his palms towards William.

William walked over slowly, and moved his neck while walking, making a series of crisp sounds, and loosened his tie and dress buttons with his right hand.

The two stood facing each other, and the difference in body size was even more obvious. William's 1.9 meter tall was definitely not short, and his figure was not thin, but he was close to three meters tall, and his muscles full of visual impact were exposed In front of the big Andre, his weak and unruly appearance was still set off.

"Listen to my orders!" Norton I's eyes lit up, he didn't bother to pretend, stood up from the throne, and simply turned into a referee.

"Start the battle!" Norton I applauded violently.

As soon as Norton I finished speaking, Andre had already roared, raised his two-handed giant sword, and slashed at William with a mighty force.

At the same time, William also changed the posture of drawing the knife. He "hugged" the knife and its sheath to his side, with the handle of the knife facing upwards, and took a horse step. He couldn't dodge Andre's offensive at all. hide.

Seeing the giant sword approaching, many ministers in the hall who had never seen the fighting scene had already closed their eyes, unable to bear to look any longer, but William suddenly drew the sword.

"Jihe Zhan. Secret Sword Rising Dragon!"

The sword shines like a dragon.

William really likes to use Iai Slash. This kind of knife technique combines speed and strength, and the power of an instant burst is extremely powerful, and it can often achieve unexpected effects.

Therefore, William has researched a lot of Iai Zhan on his own to adapt to various situations. This move, which William named "Iai Zhan. Secret Sword Rising Dragon", did not come from Koshiro and the "Issin Flow" taught by him, but From William himself, it is specially used to deal with enemies above or taller than him.

In fact, this trick is not yet in its full state. William first tried to infuse steam into the scabbard to increase the speed of the knife through the pressure of the steam, but because ordinary scabbards cannot withstand this pressure and there are some other problems, so it is still only imagine.

The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, the real rising dragon, of course, must have the company of clouds and mists.

However, even without the steam pressure to push further, William has now mastered the "slashing iron" state in swordsmanship, and with the [Strength] specialty that enables him to gradually generate a huge force, this knife still easily smashes the giant on top of William's head. The sword was cut in two.

William was really afraid of Andre's title of "the strongest warrior in the kingdom", so after cutting off the giant sword, he immediately joined the next offensive.

William put down the scabbard with his left hand, his body was only on one side, and he was already close to the tall Andre. The five fingers of his left hand turned into tiger claws and pressed hard on Andre's stomach.

In fact, according to William's habit of fighting at sea, his next step should be to use a knife to cut open Andre's chest because of the broken sword, but he finally remembered that the purpose of this competition is not to kill people, so he abandoned the knife and used claws .

But for Andre, this is not a good feeling. William's five fingers are steaming when others can't see them. Andre only feels a sharp pain in his stomach, as if he is going to be pulled out of his body by William's tiger claws , and then five hot streams passed through his body, and he trembled from the pain.

boom!

After William's paw landed on Andre's stomach, he took a few steps back to create a distance. After he left, Andre actually knelt on the ground, opened his mouth wide, and kept vomiting.

It is indeed as William thought, in fact, according to common sense, the strength of the strongest fighter in the kingdom should not be low, but there are so many things in the world that do not follow common sense.

Before Norton I could let go of his clapping hands, the strongest warrior in the Kingdom of Navia was vomited by William.

The ministers in the hall covered their mouths and noses one after another, showing expressions of disgust. William instead held his knife upside down. Seeing that Andre, who had already vomited, was still kneeling on the ground and could not get up, he stepped forward with a kind face, trying to help him up. he.

It's just that Andre didn't move. His lowered face was blue and white. He didn't even expect that he would lose, let alone lose so quickly.

He told too many lies, and he believed them all. Andre really believed that he was the strongest person in the kingdom, and he didn't think his title was worthwhile, so he was also proud of his title, but because of this, at this time He couldn't get off the stage. After all, he showed a high profile before, and now it seems even more ridiculous.

After a while, Andre raised his head. He glanced at William with resentment, turned a blind eye to William's outstretched hand, wiped the corners of his mouth, and got up from the ground.

He didn't resent Norton I who encouraged him before, because the other party was the king, he only resented William who made him make a fool of himself at this time.

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty!" The first thing Andre did after getting up was to kneel down like King Norton I, "I didn't expect the military system of the palace guards to be so corrupted, and even the maintenance and repair of weapons are so careless. The weapons used in the competition in front of His Majesty were all of such low quality that they would break upon impact."

"I was really shocked and angry at the time, worrying how such an army could protect Your Majesty! I didn't expect that the opponent would take the opportunity to hit the vital point," Andre said with a sad face, "The result of the competition is actually not important. , but ruined His Majesty's interest and betrayed His Majesty's trust, I really deserve to die!"

With Andre's words, not only did he clean up the reasons for his failure, but he pushed the main problem to the subordinates of the guards, and also hurt William a bit, saying that he seemed to be a villain who took advantage of others' dangers.

William didn't say anything, but only saluted Norton I. He looked inarticulate, and some people even wondered if he was a simple-minded reckless man who didn't understand the malice in Andre's words.

Arcadio stepped forward with a frown, and did not help William to refute Andre's words, which would make Andre, who is also a nobleman, unable to step down.

He just said: "Your Majesty, you should be able to see Stolt's strength by now, and he and his fleet really want to serve the country, so please His Majesty canonize him."

Norton I sighed, his feelings for a wise monarch were only three minutes hot, just like when alcohol was banned, he originally thought that excessive drinking would not benefit the country, but because he didn't want to deal with complicated procedures and government affairs, he formulated detailed strategies, and in Arcadio Under the instigation of her, she simply cut everything across the board.

It's the same now. Originally, because of the news about Germa 66, he wanted to strengthen the country's military strength, but when he was required to do it himself, he felt a little impatient.
