One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Otherwise, it is easy to lose sight of one aspect during battle, leading to an inevitable defeat.

Not to mention, the Oden Two-Sword Style, which Kyoshiro combined with Oden's style, possesses two completely opposite approaches: ruthlessness and cunning, and grandeur and magnificence, making it all the more precious.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Ain didn't notice any difference, only that Kyoshiro's move was imbued with a death wish from which there was no return.

However, it was Guina, who was beside her, who keenly sensed the danger behind this move.

Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.

This is the destiny of any swordsman when he steps onto the battlefield, and it is also an extremely terrifying realization.

This means that from the moment Kyoshiro drew his sword, he did not consider the possibility of surviving, which also made his sword sharper and his moves more ferocious than those of ordinary people.

"Such superb swordsmanship!"

Guina's expression hardened, her palms sweating profusely.

"This person possesses such powerful swordsmanship; he is definitely not some nobody. Why have I never heard of him before?"

In that instant, Guina's heart leaped into her throat, secretly worried about Yang Ming's safety.

Although Yang Ming once forced Kaido of the Beasts to retreat, when a swordsman goes all out, he might very well inflict severe injuries on Yang Ming.

Kuina's concerns were not entirely unfounded. In the original story, Kaido of the Beasts boasted that after transforming into the Azure Dragon, his physical body was invincible. He withstood Kyoshiro's fierce attack, but ended up with a terrible wound on his body.

Kyoshiro's fighting prowess is in no way inferior to that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

however,

He's strong, but Yang Ming is even stronger.

Yang Ming unsheathed his sword, raised his right arm, held the sheath in one hand, and placed it diagonally in front of his forehead. With a light flick of his thumb, the Zanpakuto emerged from its sheath with a clang. The long, narrow blade was cold and sharp, revealing a sense of power.

"when!"

The two crossed swords collided with the broken Zanpakuto blade, instantly creating a series of ear-piercing sparks.

The clash of Armament Haki created a terrifying gust of wind centered between the two!

However, Yang Ming managed to withstand Kyoshiro's desperate, all-or-nothing attack with such an ordinary move!

Kyoshiro landed firmly on the ground, raised his eyes to look ahead, and his pupils contracted repeatedly.

He noticed a detail: Yang Ming hadn't left his side for even a moment from beginning to end!

what does this mean?

Yang Ming's strength far surpasses that of Kyoshiro!

"I do not believe!"

"I can't believe the gap between us is this big!"

Kyoshiro's mentality has collapsed!

Kyoshiro had followed Kozuki Oden since childhood and had even met Whitebeard. He thought he knew a lot about the top fighters on the sea. For many years, he had been an undercover agent by Orochi's side, enduring hardship and biding his time, all in order to one day take revenge on Kaido of the Beasts.

Kyoshiro originally thought that Yang Ming was able to force Kaido of the Beasts to retreat, so their combat strength should be roughly equal, and he might not be without a chance.

Kyoshiro had long been prepared for the possibility of death if he failed in his challenge, but that was only after he fought Yang Ming for three hundred rounds before being killed by Yang Ming.

What's the situation now?

Yang Ming barely had to make a move to block his strongest attack, which means that Kaido of the Beasts also has the same ability!

Countless days and nights of madness and forbearance seem to have become a joke at this moment.

Kyoshiro believed he was only a hair's breadth away from the top combat power of this sea, but in reality there was an insurmountable gap between them!

How could Kyoshiro possibly accept this fact!

"Ta-da! Ta-da..."

Kyoshiro's mind was in turmoil, and even his Oden Two-Sword Style had lost its former prestige. Although it seemed aggressive and menacing, it had long since lost its order and was like a mad beast.

Amidst the flashing blades, Yang Ming never moved an inch, nor did he ever draw his sword. He merely used the half-sharpened blade of his Zanpakuto to deflect all of Kyoshiro's attacks.

The chaotic, strong winds ripped across the ground, tearing up haphazard lines and even shredding the straw hats and bamboo baskets of street vendors.

Even Ain and Kuina withdrew early on, staying a full hundred meters away from the battle, thus avoiding being affected by the aftershocks of their fight.

Seeing Yang Ming's effortless demeanor, Ain's heart pounded wildly, her cheeks flushed, and she thought to herself:

"Senior is so awesome!"

Kuina stared intently at the battlefield, feeling a chill run down her spine.

Once, Guina challenged Yang Ming and had the tip of her knife held between two of his fingers, but the experience wasn't as profound as it is now.

The Kyoushirou she praised was a master swordsman, yet he couldn't even make Yang Ming move an inch.

The difference was truly astonishing to her.

"What level has he reached now, and why is he so strong?"

Guina smiled bitterly. She had thought that after all her efforts, she would be able to see Yang Ming's back, but now she realized that she had been thinking too much!

"That's not how you use a knife."

Yang Ming had already figured out Kyoshiro's moves. He forcefully deflected the opponent's katana, and then, to Kyoshiro's astonishment and fear, Yang Ming made his move.

"Atomic Slash!"

No one could see when Yang Ming drew his sword, nor how he made his move. All they could see was a sharp flash of blades, accompanied by a series of clanging sounds, before Yang Ming slowly sheathed his Zanpakuto.

Kyoshiro stood frozen in place, his hands gripping the hilt of his sword empty. Where the hilt met the blade, the sword was nowhere to be seen; instead, it had shattered into pieces scattered on the ground in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, one is horrified to discover that all the broken blades, regardless of size or cut, are exactly the same, without the slightest error.

"I can't see it!"

"I have absolutely no idea how he did it!"

Large beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, sliding down Kyoshiro's forehead and nose, quickly soaking his upper body, making him look as if he had just been pulled out of the sea.

Silently watching the distraught swordsman before him, Yang Ming extended his right hand, offering an olive branch to Kyoshiro, and said:

"Yesterday is a canceled check, tomorrow is a deposit that has not yet matured, only today is the cash you can control."

"In the past, you were Denjiro, a retainer of Kozuki Oden, and Kyoshiro, an undercover agent working for Kurozumi Orochi. But from today onwards, you can choose a completely new life: join my ranks and become a general who will help me expand my territory!"

Kyoshiro's pupils dilated in shock as he saw the outstretched hand.

How did he discover my undercover identity?

Chapter 232 Iron Man Mark III Suit

When Yang Ming revealed the secret in one sentence, Kuang Shilang was utterly horrified.

Since he infiltrated Kurozumi Orochi under the alias Kyoshiro, even his former comrades among the Nine Red Scabbards were unaware of the inside story. He had never spoken of this matter to outsiders. Logically speaking, his work should have been flawless. So why did Yang Ming know this information?

In an instant, the young general before him suddenly appeared unfathomable in Kyoshiro's eyes.

"Besides his incredible strength, is this man's intelligence network also that impressive?"

Kyoshiro took a deep breath, his face no longer displaying its usual sickly smile, but instead reverting to the solemn expression he had when he was Denjiro.

He dusted off his clothes, bowed slightly to Yang Ming, and said sincerely:

"Feel sorry!"

"I am unworthy and weak, but I have always upheld the principles of loyalty and righteousness. I was born a member of the Kozuki family and I will die a ghost of the Kozuki family. I am sorry that I cannot accept your invitation."

Yang Ming wasn't particularly surprised that Kyoshiro refused his invitation.

Everyone has their own quirks, and Yang Ming is no exception; he has always enjoyed gathering powerful subordinates.

The more loyal Kyoshiro was to Kozuki Oden, the more Yang Ming appreciated such talent.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Marvel. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

The dazzling array of prizes in the lottery wheel reappeared before Yang Ming's eyes, mainly falling into two categories: treasures and miscellaneous items.

Treasures: Infinity Gauntlet, Heart of the Universe, Ancient Winter Coffin...

Miscellaneous items: Iron Man suit, Spider-Man cells, Hulk bloodline...

[Iron Man Mark II Suit]: It has the functions of flight and palm cannons. It is smaller and lighter than the Mark I suit. It can use the Philosopher's Stone to replace the nuclear reactor as an energy source.

Compared to Iron Man Mark I, who could only fight in close combat with his steel plate armor, Iron Man 2 made significant progress, possessing ranged weapons, making him comparable to the Pacifista modeled after Tyrant Bear.

The Iron Man Mark II has been stored in his spatial ring. Yang Ming plans to return when he has time and give it to Caesar Clown so that he can study it carefully.

That said, Caesar Clown's research on artificial Devil Fruits should have made some progress as well.

Yang Ming snapped out of his daze and saw that Kyoshiro seemed to be offering his neck for execution. He knew that the other man's inner turmoil was not yet resolved, and even if he killed Kaido of the Beasts, he probably wouldn't be able to recruit him successfully. He wasn't angry and calmly said:

"In that case, you should go back."

"Remember to ask me to give my regards to Orochi and tell him to wash his neck properly. I will take his dog's life when I have time."

Kyoshiro raised his eyes and stared at the young general in front of him. Yang Ming's demeanor was impressive. If Kyoshiro had not chosen a master, he might have already bowed down and willingly served Yang Ming.

With a slight sigh, Kyoshiro bowed once more to thank Yang Ming for showing mercy, and then left alone.

As he passed by Ain and Kuina, Kyoshiro didn't even glance at Hanzo's men, treating them with more indifference than he would a stranger. Instead, his gaze lingered on Kuina for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but ultimately said nothing.

Kyoshiro and Hanzo led their men to Amigasa Village to investigate, clearly indicating that Kurozumi Orochi had begun to be wary of Yang Ming's navy.

However, for Yang Ming, this was just a trivial incident that would not affect the overall trend.

As the ancients said, "When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame."

With Yang Ming's strong intervention, the villagers of Bianli Village began to live a life of hard work and prosperity. From being unable to afford food and clothing at the beginning, they now have enough to eat and wear new clothes. They wholeheartedly agree with what Yang Ming promotes.

Ordinary people are very pragmatic. They don't really care about this theory or that theory. As long as they can live a good life in peace and have a bright future, they will firmly support these people and things.

With a solid material foundation laid for transforming the ignorant and backward environment, ideological transformation naturally followed.

Using Bianli Village as a model, Yang Ming collected and compiled information from various aspects, taking the villagers as a sample data, and continuously improved his ideas and measures.

He is not an omniscient and omnipotent god after all. The reason why he has been able to progress so smoothly all this time is not only because he has some special advantages, but also because of his continuous learning and improvement.
