One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

Although the physical injuries were no longer serious, Zhiyuan's heart was still unsettled.

From time to time, he looked down at the sword still tightly held in his hand, and couldn't help but feel that the perception in his hand was a little unreal.

He kept recalling the scene of the confrontation with Carsente, but the more he thought about it, the more desperate he became.

"Can I really defeat him?"

Zhiyuan asked himself again and again in his heart, hoping to find a reason why he still had an advantage from some angle, but the more he thought about it, he found himself becoming more and more desperate.

He might be able to think of ways to overcome Carsent's previous moves, but from the moment the soft sword slipped out of Carsent's hand, Zhiyuan felt that he had no chance of winning.

Zhiyuan replayed the battle scene in his memory many times, but he became increasingly aware that there was nothing surprising about the technique of Carsent's "flying sword".

But this is what made Zhiyuan feel desperate. The long sword in his hand was simply unable to shake the flying soft sword.

I felt so powerless and confused, and the scene where Carsente finally chose to face my peak sword completely shattered all my thoughts.

"It can't hurt him at all."

Zhiyuan thought to herself, and in the midst of waves of self-doubt and collapse, tears gradually flowed down her cheeks...

Until the evening, Zhiyuan, who still couldn't figure it out, decided to go to Vice Admiral Tsuru for some advice. Perhaps Vice Admiral Tsuru could help him get out of the confusion in his heart...

When Gion arrived at Vice Admiral Tsuru's house, he found that Admiral Zephyr and Vice Admiral Hisenlight were both there, and the three of them were having dinner together.

"That's the little girl from Gion, right? Come in, don't be shy."

Although Gion was very careful not to make any noise, the noise of his entry was still clearly captured by the three men's observation Haki. Hearing Vice Admiral Tsuru's gentle greeting, Gion could only walk in with a blushing face.

Miss Gion, who grew up in the navy, was already very familiar with the three naval generals, so there was no further embarrassment.

After greeting each other, Zhiyuan came to the corner of the table and knelt down.

Noticing the tear marks on Gion's face, Vice Admiral Tsuru was a little surprised and joked:

"Who has offended our little girl from Gion again? Isn't our little girl from Gion the strongest? Why does she look like she just cried?"

"Ah, no, no, Vice Admiral Tsuru..."

Zhiyuan quickly rubbed his eyes hard with both hands, and his cheeks felt a little hot.

"The three of us have watched you grow up since you were a child, little girl from Gion, if you have anything to say, just tell us, it doesn't matter."

Seeing Gion's embarrassment, Admiral Zephyr also said with a smile.

"Instructor Zefa, I..."

Gion looked at the smiling Zephyr and didn't know how to start for a moment. After thinking it over, he finally asked his question:

"Instructor Zefa, I want to ask, girls... girls really can't become strong?"

Hearing Gion's question, the three people present found it a little funny. After all, they had seen at least eight hundred such questions during their many years of service in the navy, so they were naturally familiar with them. They knew that Gion had probably suffered another blow and began to doubt himself.

"Why do you think so? During training, your swordsmanship easily defeated most of the students. If you can't become a strong person, how can they?"

Zefa smiled and consoled.

"That's right. Look at your sister He. She is not weaker than men at all. In fact, Staff Officer He was qualified to be a general, but she gave up for some reason."

Lieutenant General Hisenlet also added some stories that had never been heard in Gion.

Zhiyuan looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru in disbelief, only to see that Vice Admiral Tsuru was smiling and nodding at her, obviously tacitly agreeing to this matter.

After hearing this, Zhiyuan felt somewhat relieved and simply told him everything that had happened during the day.

"His swordsmanship is obviously not as good as mine, but I just can't defeat him..."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Hisenlight, who was teaching Carsent a few days ago, suddenly laughed. Zefa and Lieutenant General Tsuru also looked as if they had suddenly realized something.

"Carsent probably didn't use his full strength against you, so you felt that his sword skills were just a joke."

When Lieutenant General Hisenlight heard that Carsente had even used such an unconventional move as the flying sword, he immediately understood what was going on and continued

"He was also thinking about you. Carsen's swordsmanship is different from most of you. Carsen doesn't focus on sword moves but sword momentum. He was able to comprehend the realm of a swordsman because of his sword momentum.

As for his strange swordsmanship, it must have been taught by a swordsmanship master in the past, but he only learned a little bit, plus some primitive swordsmanship he learned from fighting in the jungle, and finally formed his...eclectic swordsmanship."

Lieutenant General Hisenlett thought for a moment and finally chose an appropriate evaluation.

(Ming who is far away in Jomaria: Finally someone can understand me. My life is so difficult...)

"He's already a swordsman? How come I didn't know that?"

Zhiyuan realized it later and screamed in surprise. After all, Carsent did not show the characteristics of a swordsman just now.

"Then what is his strongest sword like..."

After a moment of silence, Zhiyuan finally asked the question that concerned him the most. Upon hearing this, Vice Admiral Tsuru and Admiral Zephyr also listened with interest.

Recalling the terrifying phantom of the alien beast of Carsent, the heavy pressure like the earth and the ocean, and the broken sword, Lieutenant General Hisenlight opened his mouth, but could not think of any appropriate comments. However, under the expectant eyes of Gion, he finally commented:

"It's like feeling as heavy as the earth and as suffocating as the ocean. The confusion between consciousness and body. In that situation, swordsmanship is no longer important, because you can't swing a defensive sword at all..."

Among the three, Zefa was the first to understand what Lieutenant General Hisenlight meant. Thinking of the strange beast that Carsente transformed into and the boundless sense of oppression, one could imagine how heavy the swordsmanship containing that kind of will was.

Vice Admiral Tsuru also roughly understood the meaning of this, and turned to Gion and instructed

"Your path is different from his, so there's no need to compare. However, Carson is right about one thing. Swordsmanship is essentially an extension of physical fitness. You really can't beat Garp when he uses a sword, because you can't see his movements clearly."

"Physical fitness, there's nothing you can do about it, just exercise well. Of course, there's another way, and that's the devil fruit ability. The animal-type devil fruit can greatly increase the user's physical fitness."

Hearing this, Gion seemed to have grasped hope and asked:

"Then if I have the right devil fruit, can I surpass Carcent..."

Zefa smiled and shook his head

"Carsent's devil fruit ability is extremely rare. Even Marshal Kong's ability, one of the most powerful fruits for physical enhancement among the mythical beasts - the mythical beast, the diamond form, is not so terrifying. And..."

Thinking of Carsent's self-healing ability and vigorous vitality that can be seen with the naked eye, Zefa added:

"Carsent's power is not limited to the devil fruit..."
