Chapter 88 Extreme Soldiers (Ch 88)

With another wave of experience flowing into his body, Gawain’s swordsmanship finally reached LV-10.
Countless insights about the way of the sword poured into Gao Wen’s mind. He absorbed everything from the system like a sponge.
And use a new perspective to understand your own abilities.
The swordplay, which had already been simplified under the terms of harmony, was further taken to a new peak.
A few minutes later.
Gao Wen slowly opened his eyes, and held Guan Shi Zheng Zong on his waist with one hand, feeling the hum of the blade, with a faint smile on his lips:
“After reaching LV-10, my understanding of the way of the sword has been further elevated. The speed of my sword and my understanding of the essence of the way of the sword have both been greatly improved.”
“Overall, it should be not much different from before, about 30%, but that’s not the point…”
Gao Wen focused his attention on the system panel in front of him.
Just like the two new branch abilities added when the physical strength is upgraded to LV-10, the swordsmanship upgrade to LV-10 also adds two new branch abilities:
Iai and Jibing.
Gao Wen took a look at the former and roughly knew what it meant.
To put it roughly, Iai refers to the sword-drawing and slashing.
After the Shuaishi Awakening Flash Step entry, Gawain’s fighting style itself has developed in the direction of relying on speed to kill people in the face. It can be said that this is an ability that is extremely suitable for Gawain’s fighting style.
If it is possible to break the defense, the faster the first strike, the better.
Gao Wen was very clear about this, but he also knew the disadvantage of simply stacking speed, which was that he would not be able to break through the defense when facing top strongmen.
Nowadays, there is almost no one in the East China Sea who can withstand Gawain’s instant attack in the face, but such people are countless in the Grand Line.
I can chop him but I can’t deal any damage, which is no different from fighting Smoker in Raven Harbor before.
Gao Wen set his sights on the second entry, which was Extreme Soldiers.
To be honest, he couldn’t quite figure out the specific function of this ability. He only remembered seeing a similar ability in a certain game.
“Ultimate Weapon…Ultimate Weapon Blade? In the game, it is the ability to increase attack and critical hits. Mine should be similar, right?!”
“Besides, the Iai Slash and the previous Flying Slash can usually be acquired through practice.”
“Even if I lose this time, later I will… I will let Zoro spend some time on it, and I will also have corresponding improvements.”
“Perfect!”
Thinking of this, Gao Wen no longer hesitated:
“I choose Jibing!”
soon.
A new branch ability appears behind the swordsmanship column:
Swordsmanship-LV-10: 653/12000 (super speed, extreme force)
Unexpectedly.
There was no sign of abnormality in Gawain’s body. Apparently, his new ability had not transformed his body. He frowned slightly.
“What’s going on?”
In doubt.
Gawain subconsciously looked at the Guanshi Zhengzong in his hand, but his sight stopped when it touched the sharp blade.
I saw a faint fluorescence on the blade of Guanze Masamune. Even in the dark, the blade could be seen clearly, and there was even a chill that struck the soul.
Gao Wen had an inexplicable intuition.
At this moment, the sharp blade wrapped in fluorescent light seems to be able to cut off everything.
“This is… a direct increase in the power of the slash?!”
Gao Wen took out an ordinary knife and gently cut it with Guanze Masamune, who had the ultimate weapon attached to him.
brush!
The fluorescent blade cut through the ordinary sword in half as if it was sliding across butter. There was no feeling of obstruction at all.
“It really increases the power of the slash?!”
Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic. He opened the window and left immediately.
A few minutes later.
From the mountain behind Pala Island, flying arrows shot out one after another, swept across the distant sea, and flew to the end of the sight.
The roar resounded through the sky, several mountain peaks were cut off, and dense cut marks stretched for hundreds of meters.
…
…
…
East China Sea.
In the waters near Raven Harbor, the wind and waves gradually rose, and in the howling wind, a pirate ship broke through the waves.
“LaBute, how long will it take?!”
A tall and thin pirate who looked like a cat sat on the deck, frowning and looking at the sea in the distance.
Labut, who was short and fat like a fat cat, looked down at the chart, took out a pointer from his pocket, checked it carefully, and said:
“It’s less than ten nautical miles to Raven Harbor. We should be able to reach Raven Harbor before this storm arrives.”
“If all goes well, we’ll be able to see the devil fruit the captain wants tonight.”
As he spoke, LaBute glanced at the wound on the tall and thin pirate’s body, and a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes:
“How could that smoking man hurt you, Ratchet, to this extent?!”
“Even in the weakest East Sea, are there people with natural abilities?”
Ratchet’s face darkened, and his tone was filled with resentment:
“Nature ability is secondary. The key is that his weapon is mixed with seastone. Otherwise, how could I lose?”
Rabute nodded and said:
“As long as it doesn’t affect this operation, it’s fine. In addition, according to the information provided by Lord Hanafza, Raven Port has a close connection with another pirate group.”
“who?”
LaBute explained:
“The Gawain Pirates, captain Knight Gawain, bounty of 85 million, the highest bounty pirate in the East Sea.”
“It is a force that has suddenly risen in recent months. Judging from the trend, it should be planning to enter the Grand Line.”
Ratchet raised his lips and said disdainfully:
“Coming from the weakest East Sea, I have never experienced the brutal fighting on the Grand Line. Even if I have a high bounty, it is just for show.”
“It’s not like we haven’t worked together to capture the heads of pirates with bounties over 100 million.”
“Besides, now that we have gained new power, we are much stronger than before!”
As he spoke, Ratchet slightly arched his back, and in a few breaths he turned into a giant cat that stood upright, with dark spots all over its body.
This posture looks like that of a leopard and a cat, revealing the ferocity of a carnivore.
He looked at the sharp claws on his fingertips, his eyes revealing his obsession with power:
“This is the truth of this sea! Strength is everything!”
LaBute glanced at him, a smile on his face:
“That’s true, but we still have to follow Lord Hanafza’s mission—!”
Bang!
LaBute’s voice was interrupted by a sudden gunshot.
Ratchet, who was standing in front of him, had his neck tilted back, white smoke coming out from between his lips and teeth, and a black bullet was tightly clenched in his ferocious sharp teeth.
puff!
Ratchet spat out the bullet and looked around, but all he saw was the endless sea.
For a moment, Ratchet couldn’t help but feel a little confused and said angrily:
“Who is it?!”
The pirates on the ship instantly became alert and looked for cover everywhere.
The lookout stood on the mast and looked around, but in the end he saw nothing and could only say anxiously:
“Lord Ratchet, no suspicious ships have been spotted in the nearby waters. Even the nearest island is ten kilometers away.”
“Are you kidding me? Can he hide in the sea and shoot?!”
