nFierce Battle (1)
n“Zhanbo!”
nOutside the palace, there was still a fierce battle on the island.
nAs Kuro slashed out a few water dragons, Shiki’s expression became serious. He kicked out a few slashes and cut open the bodies of these water dragons.
n“Not only the shape of a dragon, but there is also a dangerous aura inside. If it is touched, it will probably be very troublesome.”
nThere was no need for him to feel it personally. Shiki noticed the abnormality of these Water Dragons just by looking at them. He definitely could not touch them.
n“Lion Wei Imperial Ground Scroll!”
nHe clenched his hand, and the water he cut turned back into a few water lion heads, which gathered around him and fell towards Kuro like meteorites.
nKuro’s face was solemn, and he was about to use Chop. At this moment, there was a shock behind him, and the stones and soil gathered together to form a Lion Mountain, swallowing towards him.
n“Cut!”
nKuro turned around and cut the Lion Mountain into pieces. Suddenly, his pupils contracted and his arm turned into an afterimage. The posture of the horizontal slash immediately changed, and his body twisted and slashed to his side.
nDang!
nThe blade collided with the blade and Golden Lion appeared on his side, revealing a sinister smile.
nBang!
nA ball of water lion head hit Kuro. The force of the water pressure and the high-speed movement made his body unstable and he staggered to the side.
nThe flaw was there for a moment.
n“Hahahaha!”
nGolden Lion stepped away from Kuro’s blade and kicked towards his body.
nBang!
nThe blade covered in Armament Haki cut through Kuro’s clothes and stopped in his similarly covered skin.
nAt this moment, Kuro also stabilized his body and stabbed Golden Lion’s heart.
nBang!
nGolden Lion was stabbed in the center by Kuro’s sword, and the powerful force made him take a few steps back. At the same time, Kuro was also kicked a few steps to the side by Golden Lion.
nShua!
nKuro did not stay idle after moving a few steps. He cut the head of a water lion that was attacking him and turned it into a few water balls. Then he looked at Golden Lion.
nThe clothes on his chest were also damaged, and Armament Haki was slowly fading from his chest.
nAt this moment, the remaining water lions in the sky approached Kuro quickly.
nKuro’s legs were in a horse stance and Hua Zhou quickly entered the scabbard.
n“One Blade Flow: Eight Directional Slash!”
nClick.
nBlade, sheathed.
nChi!
nEight slashes shot out from all directions, cutting open the water lion heads.
nKuro looked up at Golden Lion, who was also looking at him.
nThe two of them looked at each other and grinned at the same time.
nKuro said, “Old thing, don’t use such petty tricks.”
n“To be able to let me cut you, that is not a small trick.”
nShiki laughed boldly, unaffected by Kuro. “How long can you stop me?!”
nSeveral huge water lion heads reappeared in the sea, and the earth also rose up again after a tremor and attacked Kuro with the Golden Lion.
n“How annoying!”
nThe Haki on Kuro’s blade was even more fierce. He stepped on Geppō (Moonwalk) and broke a mountain on the way and faced the Golden Lion.
nHua Zhou Slashes fiercely, colliding with Golden Lion’s two swords.
nDang!
nThe blades intersected and the two bodies quickly moved.
nWith a sinister smile, Shiki’s feet kept rising and falling. Although he was using his feet, his slashing power and swordsmanship were not inferior to Kuro’s.
nKuro dodged Shiki’s sword, turned his body and slashed at his head.
nDing!
nGolden Lion Kuro bent his right leg and blocked Kuro’s attack. His knee pushed Kuro away. Kuro stepped back and cut a water lion that attacked him.
n“Azure Dragon!”
nThe water ball that was cut into two turned into two flood dragons and rushed towards the other water lions. Then, Kuro seemed to sense it and left from his original position with Geppō (Moonwalk).
nA golden slash shot from Kuro’s original direction and landed on the ground, leaving a deep ditch.
nKuro didn’t even look at it and slashed out the same slash.
nShiki flew away from the sky, avoiding the slash and spinning towards Kuro.
n“Lion Thousand Cut Valley!”
nSwish! Swish! Swish!
nUnder the high-altitude rotation, golden slashes rained down like a barrage of bullets.
n“I cut!”
nKuro also swung his sword and slashed. His body changed direction as the Golden Lion moved and he used the golden slash to touch the golden slash.
nIt was also Soaring Slash, but there was no victory or defeat in this.
nBut Golden Lion had an additional ability.
nKuro suddenly sensed something and quickly jumped away from the spot. He saw the stone protrude and turned into a sharp earth spike.
nOf course, this kind of thing is useless against his Armament Haki, but if he is hit, he will show flaws.
nArmament Haki is not an absolute defense barrier. If you are hit, although you will not be injured, the rest will be the same. The strong can still repel Armament Haki.
nSimilarly, this spike will still cause delay to Kuro’s body.
nShiki, who was constantly slashing in the air, smiled. He clenched his hand and used the same trick again. Lion heads condensed in the sea, water, and the earth. At the same time, the earth surged and a large number of earth spikes were formed.
n“Let’s see how you settle down!”
n“This ability… has been developed to this extent. A great pirate is a great pirate. There is no other way!”
nKuro swept away the nearby spikes with his blade and ignored the slash that flew over and wiped his two fingers on the blade.
n“Unexplained Divine Wind: Black Tortoise!”
nBang bang bang bang!
nLion Mountain, Water Lion, and Earth Thorn seemed to have encountered a barrier and collided and shattered near Kuro.
nAround him, there seemed to be a pattern of a turtle shell.
nOnly the continuous slashes hit the turtle shell, which resisted for a while before shattering.
nKuro staggered and stabbed the back of his hand into the ground to maintain his figure.
n“Amazing swordsmanship, but this is the end. You have exposed your flaws!”
nShiki smiled and was about to kick out a slash, but at this moment, his flying figure stopped.
nThere seemed to be a snake coiled in the broken turtle shell, looking straight at it.
nWith the snake staring at him, Shiki found that he could not move!
n“Moonwalk!”
nKuro disappeared from the spot and in the next moment, he appeared in front of Shiki, the blade in the sheath and his hand holding the handle.
n“One Blade Flow…”
nThe black saber was gradually unsheathed.
n“What a joke!”
nA red light appeared in Shiki’s pupils and he opened his Kenbonshoku (Observation) color. His legs suddenly moved and he broke free from the Black Tortoise’s lock. He was about to fly away, but he felt that he was still locked on.
nIt was not the snake-like aura, but it was locked by Kuro’s knife.
n“I am… Golden Lion!”
nArmament Haki almost rolled into a stream of air in the blade, and Shiki kicked Kuro’s body.
n“Swallow Return!”
nSimilarly, Kuro attacked quickly.
nBang!
nKuro’s figure hit the ground faster than before, leaving a pit in the ground. He stood up and coughed a few times, looking down at his abdomen.
nEven with Armament Haki covering him, a hole was poked in his abdomen and blood kept flowing out.
nAnd the Golden Lion above…
nAn arm fell to the ground.
nGolden Lion was panting in the sky, and his left arm was empty.
nHe still managed to dodge the Swallow Return. Otherwise, that slash could have killed him, not like this, where he only cut off an arm.
nShiki crossed his arms, looked at Kuro, and suddenly laughed.
n“Not bad, really not bad! In the past, I would be ready to deal with you again, but this is Mel Veyou, my dream place, I can’t retreat, so… let’s fight to the death!”
n“Stop me, or I will destroy East Blue!”
n“That’s my intention!”
nKuro took a few breaths and held the handle of the knife tightly, his eyes full of killing intent.
nAt this point, I won’t let this old guy go no matter what!
nAnd for Golden Lion, the Kuro in front of him is a rare strong enemy that needs to be taken more seriously.
nAlthough the rudder affected his performance, he didn’t care about the past.
nFrom the looks of it, this Kuro can tie with him and even make him suffer.
nPreviously, he had put in a lot of Advanced Armament Haki and his physical strength was a little unbearable.
nAfter all, those that can cover the Soaring Slash are all high-level Armament Haki. No one can withstand so many attacks.
nTowards the end, he only released Soaring Slash.
nAdvanced Armament Haki is not a rotten cabbage that can be placed casually.
nAs for the kid below, not only is he high-level Armament Haki, but his entire body is also covered in Armament Haki. His sword skills of manipulating water to transform into a flood dragon and defending against his own slash will consume a lot of his physical strength.
nHowever, he still seemed to have enough stamina.
nIn the next battle, I have to use my ability to force him to exhaust his stamina…
