Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Even though the other party was the strongest person in the Sword Saint Land, the former Sword God, Alice didn't show any politeness. She just wanted the other party to teach her, and she didn't want to meddle in other matters.

The other apprentices at the "Sword Saint's Land" were furious at Alice's unruly and arrogant behavior, but the old sword god took good care of her and even admired her, believing that those who learn swordsmanship should be as sharp and unassuming as Alice.

The more talented and outstanding the student, the less willing the old swordsman was to let Alice go and die in vain.

What kind of being is the Dragon God Orsteed? He is a world-class powerhouse, capable of destroying the entire world.

Even though he was once the "Sword God" among the great powers when he was young, he was nothing but a joke in front of the Dragon God.

Even with the most extraordinary talent, it would be a complete pipe dream for a human to defeat the Dragon God.

In the old sword god's view, with Alice's talent, she would have a good chance to replace the current sword god and become the new "sword god" in a few years, and the first female sword god in the history of the continent.

It would be such a pity if such a talented and promising young man were to die at the hands of the Dragon God.

So the old sword god made another agreement with Alice: during the three years in the "Land of the Sword Saint," he would teach Alice everything he knew. If Alice could defeat him after three years, he would no longer prevent her from seeking revenge against the Dragon God Orsteed.

In the old swordsman's opinion, despite Alice's exceptional talent, the possibility of her fighting the dragon god Orsteed, or even killing him, was extremely low.

Let alone Alice, even the old sword god himself probably wouldn't last more than a few rounds against the dragon god Orsteed.

As mentioned before, although they all belong to the "Seven Great Powers", the strength of the latter three is far too great compared to the former four. This gap is so large that it cannot be bridged by time or so-called talent.

Furthermore, in the old sword god's view, Alice would one day surpass him, and even replace the current sword god, but she was still too young.

The old swordsman made the three-year agreement not only to protect Alice, but also because he believed that no matter how talented Alice was, she would never be able to defeat him in three years.

However, the old swordsman's idea was quickly proven wrong two years later...

Only by agreeing to the other party's promise would the other party share everything they knew, so Alice didn't hesitate much and chose to agree.

At first, Alice absorbed the sword techniques he taught her like a sponge, quickly adapting them to her own use. The old sword god couldn't help but marvel at Alice's talent, which was indeed as outstanding as he had imagined.

More than a year later, when Alice had exhausted all of the old sword god's resources and began to integrate them, the old sword god was completely speechless.

According to the old sword master's assessment of Alice, it would have taken her at least two years to learn all her sword skills and three years to master them.

To his utter surprise, what he had estimated would take three years was compressed into a year and a half by Alice’s terrifying talent and devilish training!

Even after witnessing Alice's terrifying talent, the old swordsman, though slightly surprised, remained as steadfast as ever regarding the agreement.

It's a very simple principle. Although Alice only spent a year and a half, she turned everything she taught into her own.

But in the end, all of his swordsmanship skills were taught by him, and the person who understands these swordsmanship skills best is the old sword god himself.

Since he is the one who understands these sword techniques best, he naturally also knows about weaknesses and flaws.

Moreover, while talent is very important in swordsmanship, the length of time spent training is equally crucial.

The old swordsman believed that one day Alice could surpass him, but with only a year and a half left, Alice certainly wouldn't be able to defeat him using what he had taught her!

However, the old sword god's confidence was shattered again six months later, two years after Alice arrived at the "Land of the Sword Saint".

Two years later, when Alice came to him again, the old swordsman thought she was coming to ask him questions again. But to his surprise, Alice came with her sword, saying that she had come to fulfill the promise she made years ago!

"We agreed on a three-year timeframe, but only two years have passed. Are you sure you want to fight me?"

In the path of swordsmanship, it is good to be sharp and courageous in making progress, but reckless and impulsive charges are the behavior of a fool.

If you lose this time, I won't give you a second chance. So go back and come back to me after the three-year period is over.

Upon learning of Alice's purpose, the old swordsman frowned as he looked at her face, and his tone became quite stern.

Although Alice's personality was somewhat problematic, it must be said that her swordsmanship talent was truly outstanding. Furthermore, despite her exceptional talent, she never slacked off in her rigorous training, which was one of the reasons why the old sword god had such a good impression of Alice.

However, in the old sword god's eyes, Alice, who came to challenge him today, was somewhat reckless, and could even be described as unwise.

Even if Alice stayed in the Sword Saint's Land and trained step by step for another year, the old Sword God believed that the possibility of Alice successfully breaking through his limits was only 30%. As for Alice, who chose to challenge him rashly now, the possibility was probably less than 10%.

“I don’t have that much time to waste. The Dragon God Orsteed is elusive and it’s not easy to find him. And this world is so big, how could I possibly waste another year staying here?”

Alice came here today to fulfill her promise to the old swordsman, a decision she made after careful consideration.

She knew she only had one chance, so even though she was usually reckless, she had conducted multiple simulated battles with Kyrie Il and determined that she had a very high chance of winning before choosing to appear here.

Even after you've mastered your skills, you won't be able to find the Dragon God Orsteed immediately. After all, the world is so vast, who knows where the Dragon God is wandering around right now?

In the past, it took them several years to return from the Demon Continent. Alice didn't know how long it would take her to travel the world and find someone.

But according to Alice's own estimate, she only has a maximum of fifteen years left to find the Dragon God.

She is just an ordinary human being. No matter how strong she becomes, she will still be limited by her lifespan and experience the normal cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

Alice is two years older than Wood and Rudy, which means she is about 17 years old now. If it takes 15 years to travel the world to find the Dragon God, she will be 32 years old by then.

To avenge Wood, Alice didn't care how much time she wasted, even if it meant sacrificing her entire life.

However, a person's peak period is limited. Once they pass a certain age, as their body gradually declines, their strength will begin to decline, just like the old sword god now.

Alice didn't want to find the Dragon God Orsteed when she was already an old woman, frail and powerless.

So even if it's just a year, Alice wants to make the most of it!

Seeing that his efforts to persuade him had been in vain, the old swordsman shook his head in disappointment and drew his sword.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Alice's impulsiveness, upon further reflection, he suddenly realized that Alice's early challenge to him might not be such a bad thing after all.

The reason the old swordsman made a three-year agreement with Alice was simply to protect her, because he didn't want to see a rare swordsmanship genius go to the Dragon God to die in vain.

If it were next year, with Alice's strength and talent facing me, although I only had a 30% chance of winning, a 30% chance was already quite high. What if I lost?

Now that Alice has impulsively challenged him to a duel ahead of time, her chances of winning are definitely no more than 10%. If he wins, he can protect Alice, curb her arrogance, and help her grow better. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?

In the old swordsman's view, the reason why Alice was so impulsive and complacent was because she was too outstanding, to the point that she probably had never experienced any setbacks from childhood to adulthood.

So if he were to defeat Alice here with overwhelming power, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for her.

However, what the old swordsman didn't know was that while Alice was indeed a true swordsmanship genius, it would be a grave mistake to say that she had never experienced any setbacks since childhood.

Not to mention that she had already traversed the Demon Continent when she was just over twenty years old, possessing an experience and rich combat experience that her peers absolutely lacked.

She must have been abused at least a hundred times when she was a child. When she first started learning swordsmanship, she was abused in various ways by her teacher, Kyrianu. Then she was abused by Wood, who came to her house, and finally by Rudy, who taught her magic.

The old swordsman thought that a genius like Alice had never experienced failure, but he never expected that because she had lived around monsters since childhood, Alice had suffered far more defeats than she had won.

With this in mind, the old swordsman finally agreed to the duel with Alice, and the duel lasted for a full day and night.

At the start of the battle, Alice's skills and the strength she displayed were within his expectations. However, the old swordsman soon found himself unable to keep up.

As the battle progressed into its middle stages, Alice began to display a sword style he had never seen before... no, calling it a sword style wouldn't be quite accurate; it should be described as a new system of swordsmanship.

The aura that generated the slash was not the battle qi they were familiar with, but something else entirely.

"Alice, where did you learn this kind of thing? Even I, the former Sword God, have never seen or heard of such power."

With his sword wrapped in battle aura, the old sword god cleaved away Alice's outward slash with a single strike. However, the numbness in his arm and the constant vibration of the sword made the old sword god show an extremely surprised expression.

As the former "Sword God," the old Sword God had seen all the sword styles in the world, but he had never seen the power used by Alice.

Moreover, as a "Sword Emperor", he could also sense that the power used by Alice, although different from battle qi, was perfectly compatible with the way of the sword, and even more compatible with swordsmanship than battle qi!

Battle aura is something that all martial artists in this world possess, and it can be used in physical techniques as well as swordsmanship. However, the sword aura that Wood teaches is unique to the first-rate swordsmanship.

"This is the strength that my childhood friend and the person I love deeply taught me."

That is also the reason why I seek revenge against the Dragon God. Teacher, you once said that I am the most outstanding sword genius you have ever seen.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that I'm not that remarkable; Wood Greirat is. He's the most perfect person in the world; there's nothing he can't do, not even creating this swordsmanship system that's so different from battle aura.

Chapter 524 Sword Battle Qi, the Seventeen-Year-Old Female Sword Emperor!

Wood Grellatt—this was the first time the old swordsman had heard this name from Alice.

Although he knew in the past that there was always someone extremely important in Alice's heart, and that her purpose in searching for the Dragon God was to seek revenge against him.

But the old swordsman never imagined that Alice, the beloved one who was killed by the dragon god, was actually a sword genius.

No... if what Alice said is true, since the other party is able to create a sword aura that is different from battle aura and more in line with swordsmanship, their talent and potential should be even better than Alice's.

Moreover, since the other party is Alice's childhood best friend and lover, their age should be similar to Alice's.

Thinking of this, the old sword god couldn't help but feel a bit more hatred towards the dragon god Orsteed. Such a brilliant sword genius was so easily killed by that damned dragon god.

Judging from Wood's ability to create a new system of swordsmanship power, his future achievements are almost limitless, and he may even change the entire world's swordsmanship system.

Such a genius died at the hands of the Dragon God, which explains why Alice's obsession with the Dragon God was so deep.

After learning some information about Wood from Alice, the old swordsman felt deep regret over Wood's passing.

However, he quickly regained his composure and continued to earnestly persuade Alice: "Alice, since even Wood Grellatt, whom you admire so much, died at the hands of the Dragon God..."

This shows how powerful the Dragon God is. Why do you still want to challenge him? Perhaps your deceased friend or lover would rather you be alive and well?

Moreover, you are probably the only person in the world who has mastered this swordsmanship system. If even you die, then this powerful force will completely disappear from this world.

Although the battle had not lasted long, the old swordsman had already clearly felt how much the power called "sword energy" amplified the strength of these swordsmen.

The old sword god loved the way of the sword; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to this land of sword saints after stepping down from his position as "sword god" and imparting all his knowledge to the students here.

The old swordsman didn't expect Alice to be as selfless as him in spreading this power; he only hoped that Alice could find an heir or offspring to pass this power down.

The reason he started to persuade her again was because after Alice used this power, the old swordsman felt that his original 90% chance of winning had been reduced to only 60%...

"No matter what you say, I will not give up on seeking revenge against the Dragon God. I firmly believe that the power Wood left me was for me to achieve this goal!"

Moreover, through the power that Wood left me, I have gained new insights and new strength over the past few years.
