One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"So, my sword art is a sword art that carries a force as heavy and unstoppable as the thick earth and the ocean—the sword of the emperor."

Carsent's eyes shone with a captivating brilliance. Before he swung his sword, the domineering aura of the king swept over him along with the heavy pressure unique to Xuanwu.

Then he slowly raised his arms and chopped down with the Xuanwu heavy sword.

"Ok?"

Seeing that Carsent's heavy sword was half a beat slower than before, Lieutenant General Hisenlight found it a little difficult to understand.

"Could it be that Carsente not only failed to comprehend, but actually regressed?"

Lieutenant General Hisenlight, who was about to raise his hand to knock away the heavy sword in Carsent's hand, suddenly changed his expression, and his originally smooth and gentle sword skills became slow and chaotic.

As the sword slowly fell, an indescribable pressure acted on Lieutenant General Hisenlight's entire body.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Hisenlight found it difficult to maintain even the most basic movement of lifting the sword. His brows were furrowed, and the invisible pressure he faced did not belong to any force field he knew.

Indeed, this is the domineering color, the pressure of the Black Tortoise, and the gravity and oppression that become increasingly heavy as the sword falls.

The most crucial thing is the heavy and oppressive swordsmanship that Carsent has integrated into his swordsmanship.

In a trance, Lieutenant General Hisenlight seemed to see a golden, thousand-foot-tall black tortoise in front of him. With the roar of the giant beast, thousands of creatures in the void surrendered and knelt down, as if they were facing the thick loess, the emperor of the world, or even the entire world.

What a terrifying spirit it takes to master this kind of swordsmanship, Lieutenant General Hisenlight couldn't help but think.

It was not until this moment that Lieutenant General Hisenlight realized that under this heavy pressure, his senses had become somewhat confused.

The mind can maintain but the body cannot keep up with this speed. Carsent's heavy sword is not slow at all, but incredibly fast, so fast that only the mind can keep up, and there is no time to mobilize the body.

This feeling of disharmony and even confusion made Lieutenant General Hisenlight a little crazy. Before he could react, the heavy sword had already fallen.

"Clang..." Carsent tilted the heavy sword a little at the last moment, and the heavy sword Xuanwu that fell from the sky perfectly avoided Lieutenant General Hisenlight's body, but cut the sharp sword in his hand into two halves.

The heavy sword passed through with incredible smoothness, just like cutting a piece of white paper.

It was not until the broken sword fell to the ground and made a sound that the dazed Lieutenant General Hisenlight was awakened.

"Very good, you have cut through the steel, and even realized your own artistic conception. It's really like the waves behind pushing the waves ahead..."

Lieutenant General Hisenlett looked at Carsent with a complex yet satisfied smile on his face.

At this time, Carsent had closed his eyes, slowly comprehending the feelings he had just gained and the insights he gained after swinging the emperor's sword. After a long time, he opened his eyes, and two yellow lights flashed in his eyes.

"So, Lieutenant General Hisenlight, has my swordsmanship now been upgraded to that of a swordsman?"

In response to Carsent's question, Lieutenant General Hisenlight nodded, then shook his head. When Carsent was confused, he finally explained:

"There is no doubt that your swordsmanship has reached the level of a swordsman. Not only that, your swordsmanship can even directly lead to the level of a great swordsman. In other words, as long as you practice diligently, there will be no bottleneck period in breaking through to the level of a great swordsman."

After getting the answer he wanted, Carsent was satisfied. After thanking Lieutenant General Hisenlight for his guidance, Carsent left.

It is worth mentioning that when it comes to the breathing of all things, the key to becoming a swordsman, Carsen has completely taken an original path that has never been seen before and will never be repeated.

Carsente did not choose to listen and discover the weakness, but adopted an almost barbaric approach. Under the oppression of the emperor, all things must submit, and a royal decree can deprive all things of their vitality.

Carsent's method is very simple. Under the pressure of the emperor's swordsmanship, all things have to retreat and dodge, so naturally he can cut everything in half with one sword.

(This is different from brute force. It is a state of mind that truly belongs to you. It can also be called sword intent!)

The various kinds of pressure and aura that appeared during the battle with Lieutenant General Hisenlight were actually Carsent’s conception of the Imperial Swordsmanship.

What is the Emperor's Sword? In Carsent's opinion, it is nothing more than the Sword of Damocles that is never unsheathed. The Emperor's Sword represents the arrival of the emperor himself, and it can shock thousands of officials and civilians without being unsheathed. This is Carsent's ultimate goal for the Emperor's swordsmanship.

But obviously, there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal, and at the same time, Carsent fell into thinking:

"What is an emperor? The emperor is the most dazzling existence under the light, and since ancient times, light and darkness coexist."

"The Black Ice Platform assisted the First Emperor in building his foundation in the dark, and the Jinyiwei Xichang roamed in the shadows to protect the emperor's power. Under the magnificent momentum of the Black Tortoise Heavy Sword, the Death God in the shadows was also needed to complement each other, and that was..."

Thinking of this, Carsent drew out the sharp sword Teng Snake. The blade of the sword Teng Snake was dark brown and there was no reflective effect under the light.

The sword was less than two fingers wide and as thin as a cicada's wing. It was actually a sharp soft sword!

Under the dim light, it would be difficult to even see the Teng Snake Soft Sword if you didn't look carefully, but at this time, Carsent was holding the sword and waving it in the air.

Different from the heavy and upright Xuanwu heavy sword in the previous battle, Carsent's swordsmanship at this time was sinister and unpredictable. The soft sword drew strange arcs in the air, and the rustling sound of the wind showed that the blade was extremely sharp.

The soft sword's techniques are changeable and strange, taking people's lives invisibly, just like a killer walking in the dark, complementing the imperial way in the light.

After returning to the training camp, Carson thought that the Five Elders should have known that he had arrived at the Navy Headquarters. Since they did not send anyone to inform him, it meant that there was nothing important and he was not in a hurry to contact them.

Considering that there were still more than ten days left before next year's training camp, Carson had no interest in leaving the headquarters to wander around, so he simply returned to the training camp and continued to exercise every day.

However, compared to before, Carsent had one more thing to do every day, which was to practice swordsmanship under thirty times the gravity and under deep sea water pressure, each for one hour every day.

After all, Xuanwu swordsmanship emphasizes an extreme level of heaviness, and practicing under such circumstances is exactly what is necessary for the growth of Xuanwu swordsmanship.

As the days passed, Carsente also noticed another figure coming to the beach to practice - Gion.

At this time, Zhiyuan's figure has become much fuller and stronger, gradually getting rid of the image of the shy girl next door a year ago, and gradually developing into a future naval beauty.

"Thank you for helping me with our first training session. I've always wanted to thank you but never had the right opportunity, so I'll say it now."

After hearing Gion's voice, Carsent understood what Gion meant after a little thought.

He nodded to show that he accepted Gion's gratitude.
