One Piece's Life

Chapter 393 Ives’s Double Swords

.., One Piece Live for a Long Time

For swordsmen, seeking a duel with a powerful opponent has always been their yearning. On this road full of thorns, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, they will persevere. As for the contest between Shouz and Ives, the two people who were fully focused on it only had each other in their eyes.

Watching Xiuzi disappear again, Avis, who followed the movement of his eyes, saw Xiuzi approaching step by step. He could capture the opponent's movements and calmly shouted: "Stigmata"

A cross red slash struck Xiuzi, and Xiuzi tried to block it with the red cherry and was forced to retreat. Not long after, Xiuzi returned to the original place again. All Xiuzi's slashes were easily resolved by Ives. Unable to think of a way to break it, he tried to get close, but he failed.

Looking at Xiuzi, who was more than 30 meters away, Ives said calmly: "Boy, your moves don't work on me, and your sword can't hurt me. I advise you to stop doing meaningless things. .”

"You're right, it seems I have to change my strategy. It took a lot of effort for me to find you, and I can't waste this opportunity. You are very confident in your strength, so you might as well try this trick of mine."

The red cherry in Xiuzi's hand continued to shake, and Avis, who felt something was wrong, raised his swords. After his silver-white swords instantly hardened in color, he, who was covered in red aura, saw that the opponent's weapon also turned black. Both of them were preparing for a certain move...

Many years ago, on an island in the Demonic Sea, on this morning, a blue-haired man wearing a cloak stood on a big tree. The blue-haired man holding two swords was Ives. In the open space about 30 meters away from the big tree, the red-haired man with a serious expression stared at Ives. Today, they are both swordsmen and are ready to end their long-standing feud.

Seeing the opponent holding two Kabuto defensive weapons, Ives said distressedly: "Senior brother, after all these years, why don't you give up? Master entrusted Asuka to me before he died. No matter what, I can't Leave it to you. Sorry, now... I am the new owner of Asuka. If you are still stubborn, don't blame me for ignoring the friendship of the same family."

The red-haired man wearing straw shoes responded fiercely: "Junior brother, you want me to give up the flying bird. This is impossible. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to hand over the flying bird obediently, I will not pester you again."

"Only I am qualified to own the flying bird. The master has really put a lot of effort into protecting it, but thanks to him, these swords have not fallen into the hands of outsiders. No matter what, I have to get it. Junior Brother , you should know the rules set by the master, right?"

Listening to the slight strange movement around him, Avis sighed softly and shook his head in response: "I know, but...Senior brother, have you gone a little too far? Senior brother, when did you degenerate into this? So far, we are still... There is no winner, our grudges end with us, why do you need to ask outsiders to intervene? Senior brother, do you really think these people can hurt me?"

Not long after, hundreds of masked killers hiding in the woods appeared. Each of these killers carried a bit of miscellaneous equipment. Looking at these unfamiliar faces, Ives, who has rich experience, said seriously: "Is this a ninja? It seems that there is no mistake. Senior brother, I really didn't expect you to invite them from all the way. You should spend a lot of money." It’s quite a price.”

The red-haired man who didn't hide anything showed a proud smile: "Yes, I spent a lot of money to hire them. As long as they can help me snatch the bird, it is worth any price. Why have you been afraid all these years... It has been in your hands Here, you can be content and prepare yourself for death."

Seeing a large amount of purple mist appearing around him, Ives Lisuo, who understood that it was poisonous gas, swung his swords, and the poisonous gas was instantly destroyed. Not only that, the two slashes he wielded killed four killers.

Ives is not afraid of the joint attacks of these killers, but he is wary of the other party's hidden weapons. Suddenly, Avis disappeared into the tree, and then the big tree where he was originally was cut off by a green slash. The ninjas hired by the red-haired man were all well-trained. When eight of them saw Ives jumping, they decisively threw their shurikens.

Avis, who was stagnant in the air, spun at high speed, and the darts were bounced off by his swords. Seeing the shurikens being bounced away, the dozen or so ninjas closest to them decisively avoided. These agile ninjas are divided into three teams. Among them, the team that always keeps a distance of about 10 meters from Ives is good at close combat.

Another team is responsible for poisoning from a distance. As for the last team, they are responsible for responding to the situation. Before they accepted the commission, they already knew how powerful the mission target was, and they didn't dare to be careless. They were all on guard against Ives's special moves.

Just when Ives just landed, the red-haired man flashed behind him. Ives reacted quickly and raised his swords. With his whole body covered in red mist, he shouted in a low voice: "Infinite Stigma." Ives originally The ground rotates at high speed, and a steady stream of red slashes angrily kills everything around it.

After the grove returned to quiet, only one person was still standing in the half-destroyed grove. Looking at the red-haired man lying not far away, Avis asked in a deep voice: "Brother, why are you so persistent?"

The seriously injured red-haired man's arms had been cut off. He was dying and struggled to respond: "Junior brother, I didn't expect you to learn this trick. I lost this battle, but this does not mean you won. Bird, since I can't get you, I won't let others get you either."

Seeing that his senior brother was still motionless, Ives, who suddenly felt unwell, said softly: "Senior brother, this is what you planned from the beginning. I was careless. I took all precautions, but I still couldn't prevent that kind of poison. .Senior brother, you are right, I did not win. It is a pity that even if I die, the birds will still follow me. Senior brother, farewell."

Not long after, Ives struggled to sit under the tree and chose to die quietly. Before he died, he made a strange move. He stabbed his two swords into his abdomen. With his face tightly wrapped in bandages, he sighed softly: "Asuka, thank you for staying with me all these years."

Less than a minute after Ives died, the blood-stained swords suddenly moved...

I don't know how long it took, but Ives felt that he had had a long dream. He dreamed that birds accompanied him in a bloody battle. Suddenly, Ives, who was in the dark space, opened his eyes and saw a beam of dazzling golden light coming from him.

Not long after, he left the mysterious dark space. Looking at the two strangers in front of him, Ives, who was standing next to the black coffin, asked in a low voice: "I should be dead. What is going on? Can you answer my question?"

Victor, who was drinking wine leisurely, complained softly: "Really, why do most people ask these questions after they wake up? Lord Victor, do you have any way to solve this kind of thing?"

Victor, who was standing in front of the window, responded calmly: "Dracula, please stop complaining. Hello, my name is Victor, and the other one is Dracula. Now...it's your turn to introduce yourself."

Ives's eyes, which were originally black before he was alive, have turned red. He stretched his arms casually without being in a hurry to respond. Seeing two weapons suddenly appear in his hands, Avis remembered everything that happened in his life.

Half a minute later, Ives, whose body was filled with gray energy from time to time, spoke in a low voice: "My name is Ives, Lord Victor, Lord Dracula. From the looks of you, it seems that you spent a lot of effort to revive me." Come here. Tell me, what do you need to tell me?"

Dracula put down his wine glass and said curiously: "You are very special. You are able to know the current situation in such a short period of time. You are worthy of being an experienced swordsman. Ives, I know a little about your deeds. Two hundred years ago , you were a famous swordsman. I am very sorry about your death."

"Forget it, as long as it's all for me. Lord Victor, thank you for preparing such a special gift for me. I'm very satisfied."

Watching Victor suddenly disappear, Ives withdrew his swords and heard a voice: "As long as you like Ives, from now on, only Dracula and I can drive you. Of course, you can also follow your own wishes." It’s up to your will to decide. As for other people, you don’t have to worry about it. Dracula, you should take him to get familiar with the castle first.”

The tall Dracula said casually: "Avis, you have heard it, right? Relax, don't be so nervous in front of me. Your current strength should be stronger than when you were alive. As for how much stronger , you need to discover it yourself. Well, come with me."

With a respectful attitude, Ives lowered his head and responded: "Yes, Lord Dracula." Dracula, who thought that the other party did not listen, shook his head helplessly. Dracula was once an admirer of Ives, and he knew most of Ives. In the past, he understood that the lonely Ives was the real Ives, so he didn't care about anything...

One day more than 20 years later, when Ives had just returned to the castle after successfully completing his mission, he saw the bad-tempered Ada standing on the roadside. Ada, holding a small umbrella, peeked at Ives from time to time. This was the first time the two met. Ives stopped and asked softly: "I've heard of you. You must be Ada. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Ada put on a bad face and shouted loudly: "You are so strange, am I in your way? I can't even stand here? Can you see me waiting for you with your eyes? I just feel that your The two weapons are just beautiful, don’t think too much, I’m not interested in you at all.”

Avis looked down at the swords for a few times, then put them away and responded calmly: "Are you sorry? Just pretend you didn't hear what I said just now. Goodbye."

Watching Ives leave calmly, Ada, who clenched her right fist, was very angry. If it weren't for the fact that Avis was going to the hall where Dracula was, she would definitely vent her anger on him...

Now, the roaring Ives was wrapped in pale flames, and a small whirlwind was rotating at high speed around it. Ives, who was not affected at all, stared at the prey. He increased his intensity and shouted in a low voice: "Bird, let the world see your true face."

The momentum of the pale flame suddenly increased, and then a four-winged bird and beast made of pale flame appeared above Ivis' head...
