The Pirate: Throne of Bones

"Annie!"

Entering the mansion of the finance minister of the Blue Country, as soon as Monet opened his mouth, Anne understood what her eldest lady meant.

"Don't worry, Miss. Leave it to me."

As soon as the words fell, Anne disappeared from Monet's side.

Monet, on the other hand, wandered around the interior of this mansion with luxurious interiors and a huge area.

Growing up, Monet was definitely at the top level of the sea in terms of food and clothing.

But when it comes to housing, it's just so-so.

After all, whether it is the villa of the Zefa family, the villa of the Sakaski family, or the villa of the Villes family, they are all carved from the same mold.

And if you think about the locations of Zefa, Sakaski and Villes' respective villas, you can imagine that in terms of luxury, there is really no way to compare with the mansion of the finance minister of the Blue Kingdom in front of you.

Small bridges, flowing water, and rockery pavilions.

Don't even think of seeing this kind of thing used to enhance elegance in the homes of Zefa and others.

It’s not that I can’t afford it, but it’s not necessary.

Are you afraid that other people's eyes won't be red enough when you build such a luxurious mansion in the family area of ​​​​Marinfando?

In this way, Monet, with two famous swords hanging on his waist, Ying Ju and Muku, seemed to have entered a scenic spot, and was happily wandering around the mansion of the Finance Minister of the Blue Country.

At the same time, Anne, who had temporarily left Monet's side, was moving at high speed on the roof of this luxurious mansion.

It wasn't until Annie came to the roof of a house that was almost in the center of the mansion that Annie stopped and looked at the surrounding environment.

"This position should be enough, right?"

After roughly appraising the area of ​​the entire mansion in her mind, Annie activated her Devil Fruit ability.

Barrier ball!

Inflate!

hum-

With the activation of Annie's Devil Fruit ability, a strange aura spread around the mansion with Annie at the center.

Soon, a hemispherical transparent barrier appeared out of thin air, completely covering this huge mansion.

Who said that the ability of barrier fruit can only be used for protection?

As long as the fruit's ability is used well, with the help of the characteristics of the barrier fruit, you can create a "cage" that the enemy has nowhere to escape from!

After doing all this, Anne looked around, and after determining Monet's location, she quickly rushed towards Monet's location.

As her figure flashed, a feeling of self-blame arose in Annie's heart.

【Blame me! 】

[Both the development of Devil Fruit abilities and the reserve of physical strength are too weak. 】

[Otherwise, it would be just a spherical barrier covering this mansion...]

[There is no need to leave the eldest lady’s side to find the center point of this mansion! 】

Anne, with self-blame in her heart, subconsciously speeded up her return to Monet.

then…

"Go away!!!"

Whether it was the method of entering the finance minister's residence in the Blue Country or Anne's action of opening the spherical barrier, they attracted the attention of a large number of guards in the residence.

Therefore, on the way back to Monet, a large number of mansion guards appeared, trying to catch Anne, the intruder.

Facing these mansion guards who appeared in front of her, Anne, who was anxious to return to Monet, felt remorse in her heart. Now that she encountered the obstruction of these guards, she did not hold back, and used her killer move.

One sword style execution!

The devil fruit ability is activated, and the autumn water on the waist is unsheathed.

Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!

...

The transparent ring created by the barrier fruit ability will imprison the enemy's limbs in an instant.

Relying on the "absolute defense" properties of the barrier fruit, the imprisoned people simply cannot break free from the confinement of these transparent rings.

Although the rings on the limbs do not affect the movements of these people, the moment they are imprisoned by these transparent rings, these people's bodies will become stiff in the blink of an eye.

And what Anne needs is this fleeting moment of freezing.

Flip your wrists and wave your arms.

At the moment when the bodies of these mansion guards were controlled by the transparent rings, causing their bodies to become stiff, the autumn water in Anne's hand had already crossed the throats of these people.

Anne is not very good at swordsmanship.

But as Monet's guard, Anne also received basic training in swordsmanship with Monet.

At least…

The moment Annie pulled out the autumn water from her waist, she was able to use several swordsman's attack moves in a decent manner.

The great swordsman or swordsman has nothing to do with Anne.

In fact, Annie couldn't even reach the "iron-cutting" realm in the "level" of a swordsman.

Annie, holding Qiu Shui, seems to have sharp attacks and strange sword moves...

In fact, Anne's sword moves perfectly inherited the legacy of "Xia Ji's Eight Cuts".

But combined with Anne's mastery of Armed Haki and Wisdom Haki, coupled with the freezing effect of the barrier fruit ability on the enemy the moment it takes effect...

Let's put it this way, in the eyes of people who don't understand swordsmanship, or whose swordsmanship is not very good, Anne belongs to the kind of high-end swordsman who "knows swordsmanship".

By the way.

The Qiu Shui on Anne's waist and the second-generation ghost sword on Shandis's waist are both famous swords used as "backup weapons" for Monet's double sword style.

Do you still remember when Verless and several friends had a fight with the Roger Pirates, Elena's sword was cut off by Rayleigh?

With the lessons learned from the past, Villeless and others naturally wanted to prepare spare weapons for their little princess Monet.

In the event that Monet is cut off by Ying Ju or Kuku in the battle, he can take Qiushui from Annie at any time, or take the second-generation ghost from Shandis.

As for the popular concept among swordsmen that "the sword remains, the sword destroys the person," does not apply to Monet.

Like Villes and others, Monet, who is a two-sword swordsman, has a very simple view of these famous swords in his hands - they are just weapons!

If it breaks, replace it; if it cannot be repaired, throw it away.

A truly strong man will never be limited by the weapons in his hands.

After all, no matter how sharp these famous swords are, no matter how legendary and story-telling they are, they have no special meaning to Monet.

It's not like Elena's sword or Milena's dagger.

If Villeless personally made two weapons for Monet, then...

If anyone dares to destroy Monet's weapon, Monet will fight to the death!

It's different now.

Don't look at the Ying Ju and Muku that Monet wears with him were given by his godfather Sakaski, and the Qiu Shui and the second generation Guiteru who are kept as spares are given by his father Villes.

The gift is very nice and Monet likes it very much.

But in terms of the word "meaning", Sakura Ju, Mokuru, Qiu Shui, and Nidai Kitetsu, the four famous swords are all very different.
