I am brushing up materials in One Piece

When playing stand-alone games, Kos is used to brushing his level higher than the recommended level before continuing to advance the plot. For him, there is no such thing as cross-level challenges.

But I didn't expect that today I would have to face a vicious pirate who was six levels higher than me and had one more combat skill than me.

Although he was not facing Lakra alone, he still had some doubts about whether the two-person team with Zoro could really survive the "pirate copy" in front of him. From the data point of view, they really have no advantage, and now that war has been officially declared, it is impossible to gain the upper hand through sneak attacks.

But even if he didn't think he had a great chance of winning, Kos didn't intend to back down. After all, there were still some villagers from Shuangyue Village watching around him. It would be too embarrassing to run away in front of everyone (laughs).

And just like he could tell from the data gap between the two sides that he was unlikely to win, Kos also judged from the level and number of skills that it wouldn't be too difficult for Koshiro to defeat Lakla.

With Koushiro sitting in the rear, Kosi can challenge difficult enemies with peace of mind, just like joining the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect. If he can't beat him, he will "ding"... No, he should ask Koshiro for help if he can't beat him.

So Kos pulled out Shang Fang and faced the pirates side by side with Sauron.

"Don't hold me back!"

A muffled sound came from Zoro's mouth where he bit the knife.

"I try my best."

Kos pretended to smile relaxedly and secretly adjusted his state to face the upcoming battle.

Although both sides were at war with each other, no one even among the seemingly undisciplined pirates took action without permission, because taking the first step in this unpredictable situation meant exposing a flaw.

But people's patience eventually runs out. The pirate leader Lakla seemed to finally want to stop the stalemate. He waved his hand and ordered: "Young men, come on!"

To be honest, he really didn't pay attention to the small Shuangyue Village at first. What he said at first about favors and mortgages was just small games to pass the time and add fun.

However, the reaction of the villagers and Koushiro after he reported his name made him wary. This showed that there was enough power to fight him in Shuoyue Village, or that the villagers thought there was enough power to fight him.

So he couldn't help but look at Sauron and Kos with a little more vigilance.

As for Koushiro? In Lakla's view, he was just a weak country boy who could only know a few basic moves and had no ability to fight.

He had previously scorned Zoro's three-sword style, but Zoro's dexterous escape just now and the aura he was exuding made him have to pay attention.

Kos, on the other hand, seemed not to take him seriously from beginning to end. Either he was an idiot who thought too highly of himself, or he really didn't think he was a threat.

So when he ordered his men to go up, he did not take action. Instead, he took a step back and distanced himself from the two men, preparing to decide whether to go up together or make a strategic move based on the situation.

To put it bluntly, most of the pirates under Lakla were brainless idiots. The reason why they didn't start fighting immediately was because the prestige that Lakla had accumulated through violence prevented them from taking action without permission before the captain gave the order.

Moreover, Lakra also has a rule that during a fight, the person who rushes to the front can get more points when dividing things, while those who fall behind will not get any loot or be directly executed depending on the situation. So after receiving the order, the pirate minions naturally rushed towards Kos and Zoro in a swarm, and a few wanted to bypass the two and directly attack Koushiro and the villagers behind them.

"Your left, my right!"

After Sauron finished his words, he rushed forward directly. However, after he rushed out, Kos hesitated because he doubted whether he was indifferent.

After confirming that it was not his problem, Kos faced the pirates on the right.

The first pirate he faced was a thin man with a scimitar. He was level 13 and had no skills. He seemed to just run a little faster than the average person.

Kos went over and swung his knife, causing a large gash in the skinny pirate's chest and blood spurting out.

The thin pirate didn't react immediately after being hit by Kos. He raised his knife and swung it at Kos, but Kos took the lead and punched his chin and flew away.

After subduing the thin pirate with two moves, Kos paused, his expression a little subtle.

When he swung the sword at the thin pirate just now, he was in a pseudo "man-sword-in-one" state, so even when the opponent was already on guard, he could smoothly pass through the guard and hit the target with one hit, but at the same time, he was The process of cutting open the skinny pirate's chest...how should I put it? More immersive.

That's a completely different feeling from when he hit a green-haired non-mainstream pirate on a merchant ship. Let's use a similar but not quite appropriate analogy: when he used a knife to kill someone, Kos was wearing gloves to touch the invisible interior. There was something soft in the box; now he took off his gloves to touch it, and the box was opened, revealing a fat, twisted maggot inside.

Before he learned to feel the knife in his hand, to Kos, the knife was just a weapon, the same weapon as a fist, and because there would be no direct contact with the person being attacked, the feedback brought by cutting someone with a knife was not as good as a fist.

But it was different now. He could feel the whole process of the knife tip cutting skin, cutting fat, cutting off muscles, and touching bones in his hands. He had a deeper understanding of the fact that he was hurting others.

Even though he knew that the other party was a pirate who might not be able to repay his sins even if he died ten times, but from the appearance, there was no doubt that the thin pirate was the same kind as Cos, so even though he knew that this was unwise, Cos still couldn't help but feel... Nausea and discomfort.

"Drink!"

It seemed that it was the first time he experienced this feeling that had such a huge impact on Kos. He actually stayed like this for a while, until another pirate yelled and swung a knife at him.

Kos instinctively raised his left hand to resist, but at this time he had not had time to replace the new iron piece under his clothes for protection, so the knife actually cut his left arm.

"Tsk~"

The pain that came from his hand made Kos subconsciously gasp, and at the same time, he was completely awake. While the pirate was still in the joy of success, he stabbed him in the neck in return.

After this angry blow, most of the pirate's neck was cut open, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

This extremely ferocious scene temporarily shocked the pirates around Kos, and he took the opportunity to tear off his left sleeve and tie it up to perform a simple treatment on the wound.

The anger caused by his injured arm prevented Kos from entering that wonderful state for the time being, but that was just right. To deal with these minions, he only had to slash with his knife. Now he didn't have to worry about being attacked by that strange feeling. Influence.
