Chapter 712 Kaido's Last Stand(1/2)
"I think it's pretty average."
"I think so too. He has studied with you for two years, and this is all he has learned?"
Jiuli, in the suburbs, Skyler looked at Zoro who was giggling like a child, and said to Mihawk. Mihawk heard Skyler's slander, shook his head and said:
"Obviously, this is his own problem, but do you recognize this knife?"
Skyler raised his eyebrows and asked: "Isn't it Yama? Is there anything special?"
"It's Yama, but when it was first forged, it wasn't called that name. That name is much more appropriate than Yama."
"Oh? What's the name?"
"King of Hell."
Hearing this name, Skyler couldn't help but look at the sword he just got in Zoro's hand. This name is indeed good, and I don't know who changed it.
Perhaps a certain holder felt that he had insulted the name of the King of Hell with the Saber, so he changed his name to the outside world. After all, not everyone dares to bear the weight of "King".
However, Sauron may be able to do it. After all, as early as their youth, Sauron and Gu Yina were implanted with a belief that was as proud as a king when they accepted Skyler's test.
Gu Yina had already transformed that belief into strength earlier, but she didn't know if Zoro could do it in a short time. After all, Zoro seemed to have not yet shown his domineering aura.
However, if he is holding this sword, then maybe Zoro will have to burst out his overlord domineering energy in a certain battle.
After all, this King of Hell is so evil and cruel. Just now Skyler saw with his own eyes that this King of Hell had completely drained the armed domineering energy from Sauron's body.
He even forcibly mobilized Sauron's body to inspire more domineering energy, and then instilled it into his body.
Holding such a demon sword to fight with others, Sauron's battle endurance will probably drop to the lowest level since he went to sea before he can completely conquer it.
Once the armed Haki cannot be used and he faces a strong enemy, there are only two ways left for Sauron, either to accept his fate and give his opponent both victory and life.
Either it will burst out with a power different from the armed haki, or I don't know if this King of Hell can draw the overlord haki.
If he had to extract even the overlord's haki, then Zoro would probably be in trouble.
"I have to say, it's really an interesting knife. I want to try it. It has such a rebellious personality."
Looking away, Skyler shook his head and said to Mihawk. Mihawk also nodded. As a swordsman who has been wandering the sea for so many years, Mihawk has seen a lot of demonic swords.
But no demon sword can leave such a deep impression on Mihawk like Yan Mo.
The vast majority of demon swords cannot escape two personalities. The first is bewitchment, just like the thunderstorm in the hands of the legendary Muramasa and Shiru, which confuses the holder's mind and makes him become a demon sword.
Knife holder.
The second type is resistance, refusing to adapt to the user and rejecting the holder's domineering power and sword power. It is like a stubborn stone, making people covet it but have no choice but to do anything.
But Yama is the third type that Mihawk has never seen before, that is banditry, a kind of predatory greed, which is not only about absorbing the sword power and domineering power given by the holder.
It even goes the other way to extract the user's domineering energy, and even wants to squeeze the user's life and provide them with nutrients. This kind of sword is worthy of the name of the demon sword.
Fortunately, although Zoro is a useless fool in Mihawk's eyes, it is precisely because he is reckless enough that he is not afraid of Yama's plunder, so he can now use Yama.
However, it is foreseeable that Sauron will need to actively change his fighting style in the next battle.
Zoro's past fighting style relied on his highly developed physique to squander his domineering power and slashing attacks without restraint, and his physical strength also supported him in doing so.
But it won't work after taking Yama. With the speed and amount of Yama's Haki extracted, Zoro's Haki will basically not be much left, at least it will not be able to play a role in the battle.
The armed domineering energy complements the body. Once the domineering energy is exhausted, the body will continue to operate and stimulate more domineering energy. In this process, a large amount of physical strength will be consumed.
In other words, the extraction of domineering energy is equivalent to the extraction of physical strength. When combined, Zoro's powerful physique and the domineering energy brought by his powerful physique were abolished by Yama.
If Sauron does not change his fighting style, once his physical strength is exhausted, Sauron will really become a piece of meat on the chopping block. From this aspect, Yama is definitely an obstacle to Sauron.
But luck and misfortune depend on each other. Yama will make Sauron lose his own advantages and at the same time force him to make changes. When his domineering power and physical strength cannot be exerted, Sauron must rely more on the sword itself if he wants to win.
It just so happens that Zoro is now at the stage of advancing in kendo. Using more sword skills, sword movements, and slashes will allow him to specialize faster and find his next step in kendo faster.
.
In this process, Yama's distinctive personality will lead Sauron in the direction of progress. After all, Yama has brought him so much trouble, Sauron will definitely want to conquer it.
No matter how distinctive a sword is, once it is conquered by the user, it will become docile until it finally becomes an extension of the body.
When Zoro found his future direction of swordsmanship and became familiar with Yama, he entered the stage of truly tempering the black sword. The domineering pouring and the tempering of personality will gradually reduce the side effects caused by Yama.
When Zoro truly understands Yama and the domineering pouring is completed, Zoro will be able to have his own black sword. It can be said that for now, Yama is still very suitable for Zoro.
Although this process is extremely dangerous, Sauron's swordsmanship, which uses the way of Shura as its bones and ghost energy as its flesh and blood, requires this kind of journey like going through hell.
In other words, every strong man needs a similar journey. For example, Mihawk glanced at Skyler beside him. Perhaps no one in this world understands the feeling of dying better than Skyler.
Even among the people in her detachment who had resurrected from the dead, Skyler was not as familiar with the perception of death. After all, Brooke had only died once, and Skyler was a resident of Limbo and was on the verge of death.
Professional accountant, chief death experience officer.
Mihawk also didn't understand how Skyler could persevere even when he was on the verge of death again and again. The only time Mihawk could truly be called near death was during his battle with Skyler.
Mihawk lay in bed for several months that time. Fortunately, he was not defeated. He slowly recovered with the little pride that the world's greatest swordsman brought to him.
However, Zoro has a bit of stubbornness similar to Skyler. As long as he can become stronger, Zoro is indeed not afraid of death. From this point of view, Zoro's sword and sword are actually not wrong choices.
Living towards death, maybe Sauron can really succeed.
Although he was thinking about Sauron's glorious future, Mihawk still turned around and said to Skyler: "Didn't you say you were going to inspect the arms warehouse?"
Skyler also recalled it, nodded, and was about to turn around, but still paused and asked: "Why don't you give your students a few words of encouragement?"
Mihawk shook his head and said: "He is still far away."
Hearing this, Skyler smiled and shrugged, then turned around and left with Mihawk, while Zoro in the distance was still immersed in the happiness after testing the knife.
In fact, Yama is not smooth, and even makes him feel very awkward, not as compatible as Qiushui, but Yama can bring different things.
Moreover, it must be interesting to conquer a knife with such a distinctive personality.
Taking a deep breath, Zoro took back Yama. After Yama was sheathed, he no longer robbed him of his domineering energy, and Zoro no longer needed to use his powerful sword and will to suppress him.
Shaking his numb right hand, he looked up, wanting to find Mihawk and show off, but when he looked around, Mihawk and Skyler were no longer there.
Behind him, Fei Tetsu also appeared holding another sword. Judging from the style of Tong, it seemed to be somewhat similar to the third generation Ki Tetsu on Zoro's waist.
This sword was the second-generation ghost forged by his ancestor Gu Che. Feiqie, who was holding the second-generation ghost in his arms, looked around and asked Zoro: "Where's Master Skyler?"
"Leaved?"
Zoro shook his head and didn't care much about the two leaving. His eyes fell on the second generation of ghosts, and for a moment, his eyes showed joy and expectation.
He asked: "Hey, what kind of knife is this?"
Feiqie was a little unhappy about Zoro's bad attitude. After all, Zoro had just taken Yama from him, and he still spoke badly to him. This was really rude.
But after he saw the somewhat fanatical look in Sauron's eyes, he suddenly straightened his back and said, "This is the second-generation Ghost built by my ancestors!"
Zoro didn't care at all about Fei Tetsu's proud and boastful tone, but murmured: "Second Generation Ghost Tetsu."
As he said that, he lowered his head and glanced at the Sandaiki Tetsu at his waist, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Take it back, I don't need this knife."
"What don't you need?! Do you think this is for you?!"
Fei Che's tone suddenly rose an octave, as if Zoro's speech made him feel incredible. Fei Che quickly hugged the second generation Gui Tetsu, fearing that Zoro would reach out and snatch it away.
Zoro was extremely speechless, but Fei Che had already turned around and walked towards his residence, murmuring: "What a pity. Although the probability is very small, if she likes this one better"
Apart from the Enma that Hiyori brought in exchange for Zoro's life, the famous sword with the most distinctive personality among Hitotsu's collection is the Second Generation Kitetsu.
Judging from Skyler's performance in conquering the country-stealing blade, she must be more keen on this kind of distinctive knife, so although there is little hope, Fei Che still wants to give it a try.
As for the more famous Tian Yu Yu Zhan? That sword is good, but its personality is too peaceful. In addition, it is the symbol of the general of the Kozuki family, and the right to belong to it belongs to Momo's assistants, and Feiter cannot assign it.
I originally thought that if Skyler was very interested after meeting the second generation Kitetsu, maybe he could take advantage of the situation and ask Skyler to exchange the saber.
Although the possibility is extremely low, what if it happens? It's a pity that Skyler left before he could take out the knife and hold it in front of Skyler.
Hiyori was chatting with Xiaodama in the courtyard of Feite's residence, while Ushikimaru and others were treating the wounds. The makeup on her face had faded, and the rouge did not diminish her beauty.
On the contrary, she lost some of her tackiness. When she saw Fei Che coming back, she said hello, and then asked with some regret: "Didn't Mr. Skylar accept it?"
Although it was an expected answer, Hiyori, as the daughter of a former general, knew the significance of the sword in Skyler's hand to Wano Country, so she also had some expectations.
But now it seems that Skyler did not accept it.
Fei Che shook his head and said, "I didn't meet him."
Hiyori nodded, and then said: "The Great Tengu-sama, Skyler-sama, and the others seem to have led the troops to capture Kaido. If she did this, she would be considered to have helped found the country of Wano.
At that time, we will have no qualifications to ask for the sword in her hand. After all, she has done something that our country has not been able to do for hundreds of years. In addition, maybe she is the person predicted by mother."
Hiyori's worry about gains and losses made Feitō's mood very complicated. After all, it was really ridiculous for an outsider to use the sword of stealing the country of Wano to found a country for the country of Wano. This was really ridiculous.
It's not that Skyler is ridiculous, but that the whole country of Wano is ridiculous. After such a scene actually happens, how should they treat Skyler and the blade that steals the country?
Or should we simply forget the shameful history of eight hundred years ago and use the name "The Blade that Founded the Country" to cover up the name of the sword that was the "Blade that Stealed the Country"?
As long as two generations pass, perhaps no one in Wano will know what the Blade of Stealing the Country is. In this case, perhaps the future samurai can also be relieved of this shame and burden.
Although this is a bit self-deceiving, Fei Che, who has endured the country-stealing blade and the black sword Qiushui stolen at the same time, knows how much pressure this will bring to people invisibly.
Now that Black Blade Qiu Shui has returned, a matter of concern has been settled. However, with Skyler's power, it is simply harder to get back the country-stealing blade than to reach the sky.
It would be better to regard this sword, which represents the shame of Wano Country, as the glory of Wano Country. If Skyler can really help Wano Country to successfully found a country, then
To be continued...
