Pirate's Swordsman

Arashiri.

This is a sword that does not belong to this world, borrowing namelessly on this sea.

It wasn't until he killed BIGMOM and defeated Kaido in the hands of Xia Nuo that he became famous all over the world and was respected and admired by countless swordsmen in the world, ranking alongside the twelve skills of the supreme sword.

And now, the sword was slashed out from the throne on the high platform.

Just like a naughty boy breaking off a branch and throwing it gently, no matter how you look at it, it is extremely simple and there is no sign of any skill.

But the person who cut him off was named Xia Nuo.

Therefore, this ordinary sword has the potential to cut off rivers and fill up mountains and seas.

laugh!

The sound of breaking wind pierced the sky, and when the sword energy roared and slashed through the area where the magma meteor was, the sky above the entire square became quiet.

The hot molten lava falling menacingly was swept away by the sword energy and turned into countless fine pieces of red powder, like smoke and dust in the sky, or like fireworks that had finished blooming in the night. They no longer had the slightest bit of power before, and they were flying downward one after another. Falling slowly.

"..."

A naval captain stretched out his palm blankly, and then looked at the ashes scattered on his palm. Before they could be seen piled up, a gust of wind blew them away and disappeared without a trace.

Only then did he realize it belatedly, and subconsciously took a half step back, his body trembling slightly.

This...is this still human?

A feeling of panic spread in his heart and spread to all the surrounding navy.

No one had ever seen the scene before them, and no one could have predicted that General Akainu's huge blow in anger would be completely resolved by such an easy and carefree sword.

Those present were not the only ones who fell into sluggishness.

Shampoo Islands? An underground exchange in the West Sea, a bar in the New World... All over the world? All the broadcast footage provided by the phone bug? The audience who saw this scene couldn't hide their disbelief. color.

……

"This...is this the world's greatest swordsman?"

Under the bubbles of the soap tree, there was a handsome young man holding the hilt of a sword. After recovering from the tremor, he felt that every cell in his body was beating and trembling with excitement.

"What a terrifying strength. No wonder the brothers and sisters in the dojo admire him so much. If one day in the future, I can worship him as my teacher..."

Beautiful fantasies emerged in his mind, causing the young man to murmur to the end with his eyes obsessed, almost talking in his sleep.

……

The Great Route is in an old castle that never sees the light of day.

Looking at the picture on the screen of the relay phone bug, Hawkeye Mihawk had a complicated expression.

After a long while, he sighed and leaned back on the soft sofa a little tiredly. After rubbing his temples, he took the red wine from the glass table next to him and poured himself a small half glass.

"Sure enough, I haven't seen you in two years. Your swordsmanship has improved a lot."

A layman watching the fun? An expert watching the door.

"Have you defeated me before? Now, have you touched the mysterious higher realm in the legend..."

……

Malinfando, Navy Headquarters.

In the spacious and warm top-floor conference hall, Lieutenant General He, who was staying at the headquarters, withdrew his gaze from the screen and looked at each other tacitly with Garp across the table, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

……

And this moment.

In front of the G-1 branch's fortress, in the huge crescent-shaped harbor, countless people raised their heads and looked at the figure who got up from the throne, stepped into the sky, and came step by step directly above Akainu.

“Nice fireworks display.”

Looking down at the livid-faced Akainu below, Xia Nuo slowly put Arashiri back into the sheath, with a half-smile on his face: "I didn't expect you would give me such a gift after we haven't seen each other for several years, Sakaski." A great gift.”

"It's much more beautiful than when I was in Dressrosa. If that crazy woman from BIGMMOM was still here, I would definitely suggest that she invite you to have a tea party and ask you to have a fireworks show for her, and then give her some Birthday cake with candles.”

"..."

Faced with Xia Nuo's unabashed humiliation, Akainu remained silent for a moment, but soon, the extremely ugly expression on his face at first faded away, and instead he grinned with a sarcastic sneer:

"Sure enough, even if you become the Four Emperors, you will still be the same as before, a brat who only knows how to talk quickly. Why, boy Xia Nuo, don't you like the luxurious funeral I have prepared for you?"

"I really don't like it."

Xia Nuo shook his head and said softly, "It's too exaggerated. In comparison, I still appreciate the simple and neat punch you gave me two years ago when I was tired and weak."

"Ha, just remember."

Akainu sneered, not caring at all when Xia Nuo mentioned his disgraceful history, "I have never regretted the decision I made at that time. It's just a pity that I misjudged the strength of the blind man under you and let you get away with it. Two more years of life.”

"And now..."

He lowered his eyelids slightly, and his eyes, which others could not see clearly, were full of coldness, "It's almost time for me to make up for this regret and ask you to take back the dog's life!"

Swish!

Before he finished speaking, he stepped on his heels suddenly, and his whole body was shot out like a cannonball, stepping on the huge spider web-shaped cracks on the ice, and almost in an instant, he was in mid-air.

"Ming dog!"

At the same time as the roar sounded, his right hand, which had already turned into hot lava, suddenly clenched into a fist, and suddenly blasted away towards Xia Nuo's deputy at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye!

"You're as good as your man, Sakaski."

Seeing Akainu approaching, Xia Nuo's eyes turned cold. While speaking sarcastically, his hands showed no signs of slowing down, but he did not draw his sword. Instead, he also turned his right hand into a fist, rushed forward, and met him head-on. Akainu's lava fist.

Boom!

The low muffled sound, like the thunder behind the gathering of dark clouds, spread in all directions.

In the eyes of countless people, the two fists with disproportionate power and size, after colliding with each other, were evenly locked in place!

Many naval officers who saw that Xia Nuo had not used a sword, thought that the latter was too powerful, and secretly showed joy, were suddenly stunned on the spot.

Gollum.

The hot magma kept splashing during the collision, but it still failed to break through the armed color attached to Shano's fist. It just continued to disappear and disintegrate. Akainu's face also changed like his arms gradually changing from red to pitch black. It was extremely ugly.

"He didn't even draw his sword..."

He stared at Xia Nuo's face with a lustful gaze, and said in a cold voice, "Are you looking down on me, little Xia Nuo!"

"That's not it."

Xia Nuo shrugged expressionlessly, but his fist still did not retract, pressing against the hot magma without any burns.

"Speaking of which, I'm more surprised that you can take my fist so easily. With such a strong body and strength, you can only be said to be a naval admiral..."

Before the month, he had not drawn his sword, but with a simple punch, he easily defeated Crocodile Crocodile, one of the King's Seven Martial Arts.

Judging from Akainu's performance, it is obvious that he is worthy of his reputation over the years and is not an enemy of the same level as the latter at all.
