Pirate: I broke Akainu's defense with a bucket of water.

boom.

Gravel was flying on the ground.

Ding.

When Cheng Lang appeared again, he had already come to Saka's side, and the diamond sword in his hand struck out in the form of a stab.

Although Saka did not see Cheng Lang's attack, the Seven Star Sword blocked Cheng Lang's attack path horizontally.

The strong wind seemed to have just reacted and slowly stirred up the wind and waves.

With Cheng Lang and Saka as the center, the air wave was spreading rapidly.

The weeds on the ground were pressed down.

Zoro, who was fighting Duma, also noticed it. He turned his head and saw this scene, and couldn't help but sigh.

Cheng Lang's talent is better than he imagined.

At the beginning, Cheng Lang was just an ordinary person who couldn't even hold the sword and exert force correctly. Even when he was in Xiluobu Village, his physical strength and reaction were actually very poor. If it weren't for his special fruit ability, he would probably have been seriously injured by the cat claw blade.

But how long has it been?

Not only the reaction speed but also the strength is improved

The most important thing is that he mastered swordsmanship very quickly.

He understood things very quickly and there were many things that he didn't need to be taught a second time.

"This guy is really a monster. If I don't work harder, I will be surpassed." Zoro felt a sense of crisis.

Although Duma was also eroded by the ghost energy, he gradually regained his sanity at this moment, but his body did not stop attacking: "Your companion is in danger."

Zoro blocked Duma's attack with his two swords, but he just replied noncommittally: "That guy didn't use his full strength."

The words Haki and Qi were proposed by Cheng Lang. Now he could feel that Cheng Lang had not used Haki yet. It was a pure battle of strength and skill, and of course, it was partially enhanced by the ability of the fruit.

Duma remained silent. He was eroded by the ghostly energy. At the same time, as the Seven Star Sword was gradually unsealed, the power and senses he gained became more obvious.

However, he was not continuously eroded by the ghost energy, and even the power of the ghost energy was gradually weakening. This was an important reason why he was able to regain his sanity. At the same time, he also felt the feeling coming from the Seven Star Sword.

This feeling made him feel threatened by the existence of Cheng Lang, even... terrified.

But he couldn't explain the origin of this feeling, and even suspected it was an illusion.

That is at this time.

Saka's sword-holding posture changed. The sword in his hand was no longer used as a knife, and the force was no longer direct.

Cheng Lang noticed the change immediately.

The strength that he used to suppress his opponent was instantly reduced a lot.

This is to unload the force and transfer your own power.

Cheng Lang was excited and stared at the other person intently.

Live up.

The figure was like a poisonous snake, and the diamond sword was stuck to the Seven Star Sword.

This time it was his turn to suppress with pure force.

At this moment, Saka was like a master who had been immersed in kendo for many years.

Facing powerful enemies, he was at ease. The Seven Star Sword wavered gently, and sword shadows appeared one after another.

With just a twist of his wrist, the opponent reduced the force by 30%.

But this was not the end. The removed force was not transferred to the empty space. Saka turned around and returned the 30% force plus his full strength to Cheng Lang.

And the target was directly at Cheng Lang's throat.

Speed, skill and strength were fully demonstrated at this moment.

If it were someone else, they might have been beheaded by a single sword strike.

But the person he met was Cheng Lang.

The sharp edge of the Seven Star Sword was pressed against Cheng Lang's neck.

Can't make any progress.

"Is this swordsmanship? It's so elegant and gorgeous."

Cheng Lang didn't care about the Seven Star Sword on his neck at all. His eyes were fanatical. It's not that he didn't react to Saka's action just now, but even if he reacted, he couldn't exert the strength to twist his body or even block it.

Under normal circumstances, he would be able to react and block.

However, the opponent's sword not only borrowed his strength but also used the excess force to move his center of gravity, making it impossible for him to stabilize quickly and then turn around to block.

This is the triple application of skill, strength and speed.

It's called swordsmanship.

Saka's purple eyes also widened quietly. Obviously, he did not cut off Cheng Lang's head with one sword. He was also surprised.

He took a leap and created some distance between them, looking at Cheng Lang with burning eyes.

Cheng Lang was a little surprised. Could it be that the other party had regained his sanity?

Cheng Lang just looked at the other party's sword-holding posture and the gradually rising Seven Star Sword.

What finally appeared before Cheng Lang was the standard starting stance of a Western sword.

The body is slightly tilted.

One hand behind the back, the other hand pointing the sword at the enemy.

Chapter 162: An Ordinary Stab

"A rapier?"

Also known as the noble sword.

The swordsmanship that only nobles can use is also a branch of sword, namely rapier.

This sword technique focuses on lightness and agility, using quick strikes as a means of attack.

This was the first impression in Cheng Lang’s mind.

But this kind of swordsmanship...is it something that Shimotsuki Koshiro would teach?

It's even said that the samurai of Wano Country should only have one weapon choice.

That's the knife.

Cheng Lang turned his head to see Zoro, who naturally noticed it at this moment, and his expression was also extremely wonderful.

Obviously this is not the swordsmanship that Saka should master.

Cheng Lang looked at the Seven Star Sword with burning eyes.

At this moment, the Seven Star Sword is still full of ghostly aura.

But compared to the evil feeling before, the feeling coming now is more like... a guardian sword.

This reminded Cheng Lang of some of the descriptions of the Seven Star Sword in the movie.

It seems that the kings of three countries fought over a witch they had protected for generations, and in the end, the sword became a demon sword because of too much blood.

In other words, the Seven Star Sword was once a normal guardian sword.

"It's really amazing."

Cheng Lang seemed to have figured out a lot of key points.

From the initial clash of power to the current master of swordsmanship.

Is this how one improves by being infected by ghost energy and becoming a great swordsman?

Has the world rationalized it into what it is now?

That is at this time.

Saka moved, and the Seven Star Sword in his hand slashed down.

The purple-black flying slash came straight towards Cheng Lang.

Cheng Lang was not surprised by this. Being a great swordsman, it was natural that he could not fail to perform the flying slash.

At this moment, he was also ready to try the so-called flying slash.

Ever since the full-strength attack on Drum Island, he has been studying the flying slash.

It’s actually not difficult to do.

In essence, it is no different from Lan Jiao, but with an added sense of dominance.

It allows flying slashes to cut farther and with greater force.

But before on Magnetic Drum Island, he exploded with pure power.

"The flying slash looks powerful, but it's not good in terms of killing power." Cheng Lang said with a smile, and the diamond sword in his hand was quietly covered with domineering aura.

Cheng Lang swung out a pale blue slash.

The collision of the flying slashes caused a loud noise in the air, and the ground shattered into pieces due to the slashes of the two.

boom.

The flying slashes collided but ended up staggering.

It turned into a sword mark running across the middle of the two people, like the boundary in a tug-of-war game.

The difference is clear.

Saka was surrounded by ghostly energy and his hair was fluttering wildly.

On the other hand, Cheng Lang was calm and there was nothing unusual about him. He just stood there normally.

"Time is running out. If this is all you can do, you will lose."

Cheng Lang looked at the status bar and saw that the recharge time was about to end.

This energy replenishment can not only make your body full of vitality but also restore your blue bar, that is, the amount of domineering aura. If you are not strong, the domineering aura will overflow.

Cheng Lang saw that Saka didn't move at all and didn't seem to react, but Cheng Lang didn't care about that. He held the sword with both hands.

His eyes were solemn, he mobilized his domineering aura, and also used the return of life to concentrate his strength on one point.

The pitch-black armed color domineering wrapped around the diamond sword, and purple-black lightning burst out in the air.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Zoro was even more surprised and unconsciously attracted by this scene.

"this!"

Saka also seemed to sense the danger, and the Seven Star Sword burst out with even stronger ghost energy that swept towards Saka.

The ground under Cheng Lang's feet began to crack with his feet as the center.

"call.."

A heavy exhalation sound came from Cheng Lang's mouth.

There seems to be thunder.

"I haven't named this move yet. After all, I'm not proficient in it yet, so I'll just call it an ordinary stab."

The words fell.

Cheng Lang disappeared.

The ground seemed to be a little slow to react.

The rubble flew everywhere, and the ground piled up backwards due to Cheng Lang's violent trampling, directly forming a small slope of earth.

Ding.

The sword tips collided violently like Mars hitting the Earth.

A deafening sonic boom suddenly erupted during the collision like a volcanic eruption.
