One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

The blade tip instantly sank into a boulder dozens of meters away. Hill gripped the hilt, pulled the blade out, and looked at Zephyr.

Upon first seeing this move, Zephyr's eyes lit up, and he commented, "Very good swordsmanship. Even I, an old man, cannot give you better guidance on such superb swordsmanship."

"but..."

He changed the subject and said sternly, "Swordsmanship is not child's play. From the moment you draw your sword, you should be prepared to fight."

"But you don't. Your muscles are loose and your strength is scattered. If the enemy is faster than you, you won't have time to defend yourself."

His tone was somewhat stern, like a teacher disciplining a naughty student.

His heart was stirred with emotion. This kid was quite skilled, and his swordsmanship was exquisite. It seemed that this kid had not only made great achievements in science, but had also put a lot of effort into swordsmanship.

Zefa composed himself and continued, "Furthermore, I clearly sensed that you weren't using your full strength. Why?!"

“I’m afraid it’s too powerful,” Hill said frankly. “Besides, I’d rather practice it in real combat.”

He did indeed only use a portion of his physical strength in that sword strike; he didn't even use his domineering aura, slashing power, or other forms of power.

Feeling Hill's eager gaze fixed on him, Zephyr nodded. "Alright, let's have some practical training then. Now, I am your enemy."

"Instructor Zephyr, I'm about to attack!"

"Kid, come on!"

call out!

The next second, Hill's figure vanished from the spot.

Zefa's eyes lit up, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

This kid actually knows the Six Styles?

He was quick to react, raising his massive seastone mechanical arm to block Hill's attack.

Clang!

It emitted a piercing sound.

Zefa's eyes showed surprise, and his face showed admiration. He laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so strong. I was careless and almost suffered a loss."

"Very well, bring out your moves, I am Zephyr!"

“Okay, Instructor Zephyr!” Hill replied happily. Although he hadn’t used his full strength in that strike, he did it to show Zephyr that he was no pushover.

Hill stepped back, creating a distance of more than ten meters.

His gaze sharpened, a glint of light flashed, and his aura suddenly surged, causing ripples to spread through the dust beneath his feet.

"Hundred-Step Flying Sword!"

laugh! !

The rosary pill flew out of his hand in an instant, the sharp blade making a tearing sound as it ripped through the air.

This time, the "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" technique was completely different from the last time it was used.

Long, sword-like cyan slashes appeared around the blade, rapidly rotating around it.

It shone with dazzling light.

The rapidly spinning sword light formed an umbrella shape.

The blade tip went straight for Zefa.

"Good lad!!" Zephyr exclaimed, his muscles bulging.

The mechanical right arm dragged forward with the momentum.

Bang! ! !

The deafening noise shook their eardrums, and a fierce wind swept in all directions in an instant.

The dust was swept away by the strong wind.

The sharp tip of the rosary-shaped blade struck Zephyr's mechanical right arm, sending sparks flying.

Zephyr's smile widened. "I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be so strong. I'm afraid even Ain and Binz are no match for you!"

He was delighted to see such outstanding young naval personnel after a long time.

After expressing his admiration, Zephyr grinned, "But kid, that's not enough power!"

He also exuded a heroic aura.

Done.

Hill felt a powerful force coming from the blade, impacting his body and sending him flying.

Ta-da!

He landed on the ground and stumbled back several steps before regaining his balance.

Hill was also very happy. This was his first real battle, and it felt amazing. His blood started to flow faster.

Somewhat excited.

The taste of passion.

That's something etched into everyone's bones, and now there's a feeling of it being awakened.

He finally understood why so many people crave, enjoy, and even relish fighting.

Step on the ground.

His body moved like a cannonball, attacking Zefa once again.

The sword light traced a silver trail in the air.

The key word is speed.

However, Zephyr still managed to block it, and then Zephyr clenched his left fist and punched Hill in the face.

The move was so fast that he didn't have time to dodge.

We have no choice but to tough it out!

"Iron block!!"

The blood in his body instantly accelerated its flow, causing his muscles to pulsate under his control and solidify into a steel plate.

It is comparable to the Great Perfection Iron Shirt.

Even with the added benefit of Hill's physical characteristics, it's estimated to be even more powerful than the Golden Bell Shield.

boom! !

Hill's body came as fast as it flew out.

grass.

My fellow readers were absolutely right!

With a loud thud, he crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

it hurts!

My reaction was too slow. If I had added the protective golden light and Armament Haki just now...

I would never be in such a sorry state.

"Ouch..."

My handsome face.

Hill reached out to touch his face, but was afraid of hurting himself.

As the smoke cleared, Zephyr's stern voice rang out, "Battle is not as simple as you think; it's not just about relentless attacks."

"Combat is composed of psychology, reaction, body, defense, judgment, and so on. You're still a bit green."

He was still somewhat surprised. He knew the force of that punch very well, and he had thought that Hill would be lying there for a while before he could recover.

I didn't expect this kid to be so resilient.

very good!

Tenacious vitality and resilience are the first path to becoming a strong person.

This kid can take a beating!

Hill gave Zephyr a somewhat resentful look.

He was proven wrong.

However, the pain subsided quickly, which pleased him, as he felt his recovery ability was quite good.

Gripping his sword tightly, he didn't rush to attack this time, but instead pondered how to fight.

Strengths: Highest physical fitness level; proficient in Golden Light Mantra, Iron Body Technique, and Armament Haki.

Typical of the type with thick skin, a long health bar, and fast health regeneration.

Weaknesses: unfamiliarity or lack of proficiency with Observation Haki, reaction speed, and adaptability.

Even his own strengths couldn't withstand the attack from former Navy Admiral "Black Arm" Zephyr.

Then there's only one way.

Hill liked this method very much.

attack!!

If I can defeat the enemy in one move, I don't need to think about so many complicated fighting methods and fight to the death.

He set himself a small goal: to defeat the general with a single sword strike, leaving the general no chance to attack him.

My face still aches a little.

The first goal is to surpass: 8-year-old Charlotte Linlin in physical fitness.

Having made his decision, Hill put the rosary pill back into his waistband.

bass!

He drew his Zanpakuto, Senbonzakura, which was upgraded to +12, from his waist.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"
