One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

In fact, Koushirou already had some guesses in his heart.

The other party came to him for one of two reasons.

Firstly, he wanted to learn swordsmanship from him; secondly, he admired his skills and wanted to invite him to go to sea.

Compared to the former, the former actually made him feel more relieved.

After all, he has no intention of leaving the dojo or the East Blue now, otherwise he would have left with the Revolutionary Army long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.

Furthermore, at his age, what would he gain from going out to sea to become a pirate?

But if I refuse, I'm sure I'll offend someone.

The situation is better now because his skill in kendo is indeed quite good.

Perhaps in a life-or-death struggle, they are no match for the young man before them.

But if it's just a matter of swordsmanship, he wouldn't underestimate himself.

He put down his teacup and nodded gently. “Sparring is no problem, of course. However, the space here is limited, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to practice properly. How about we go to the back of the dojo? It’s a spacious place with few people around, so even if we make a lot of noise, no one will bother us.”

It must be said that Koushirou thought things through very comprehensively.

Abel naturally agreed, saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Upon hearing this, Koushirou got up, took out the Wado Ichimonji, and then went out through the back door of the dojo, heading straight for the back mountain.

Abel picked up the sword case and followed him outside.

Because carrying four knives was too inconvenient, he had this simple black and gold sword case made.

It can hold up to six knives.

The two quickly arrived at a relatively open space, one after the other, and then stood facing each other about ten meters apart.

Abel planted the black and gold sword case vertically into the ground, then laughed and said, "Some time ago, a strange guy wearing a mask traded three famous swords for the freedom of Wano Country from me. Today, I'd like to ask Master Koushirou to take a look and see if it's worth it."

The words "Wano Country" stirred a slight ripple in Koushirou's otherwise calm heart, and he then revealed a strong sense of curiosity. "These three priceless swords must be seen as soon as possible."

"it is good!"

"Master Koushirou, please take a look."

Abel reached out and gently patted the top of the black and gold sword box. Then, for some unknown reason, the two sides of the black and gold sword box stuck in the ground suddenly sprang open to the sides!

Just like a peacock spreading its tail, it displays the swords stored inside.

Three famous swords are stuck diagonally on the right: the Second Generation Kitetsu, Enma, and Ame no Habakiri, all obtained from Wano Country.

On the other side, standing alone on the left is [Shusui], who has always followed Abel in his conquests and even killed Kaido!

This black and gold sword box can hold up to six swords, three on each side.

Actually, Abel could have found two "Fifty Good Swords" to put in to make up the numbers; it would have looked better and been more impressive when the swords were unfolded.

But then he thought about it again and realized it wasn't necessary.

Mixing brass into gold might fool laymen, but it's a disgrace to anyone who knows its value.

Just now, Koushirou's gaze was fixed on these four Great Grade Swords (21 Great Grade Swords), his eyes filled with admiration and envy.

As the son of Shimotsuki Kozaburo, it was impossible for him to be completely ignorant of Wano Country and its famous swords.

Among them, the one he was most familiar with, and the one he even wanted to find again, was that... [Enma]!

Because both Enma and the Wado Ichimonji in his hand were famous swords personally crafted by his father, Shimotsuki Kozaburo!

He also recognized the other few.

Whether it's the national treasure of Wano Country, the swordsman Ryuma's sword [Shusui], or the cursed sword [Nidai Kitetsu] that exudes an ominous aura even from this distance, or [Ame no Habakiri], which, like [Enma], was Kozuki Oden's sword, all of them are famous swords that he is very familiar with and has seen many times in the paintings left by his father.

For a normal person, having even one of these is already an incredible stroke of luck.

But now these four famous swords with great pedigrees all belong to one person, which is simply enviable.

"These three knives are what that person used in exchange. How about it? Is it worth it?"

Abel pointed to the three knives on his right, asking a question that was not at all boastful, but was in fact the epitome of Versailles.

He may not seem to be showing off, but he practically has the word "smug" written all over his face.

Unfortunately, Koushirou had no choice but to cooperate, so he could only nod helplessly and say it was worth it.

Abel immediately smiled reservedly, "Really? I thought I'd been ripped off. It's good that I didn't lose anything."

It's true that you can only put on this kind of act in front of people who know what's going on.

Otherwise, if you encounter a clueless idiot who doesn't know anything about this, it's like throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind person—it's all for nothing!

You might end up being driven crazy by the other party.

Whether Abel was furious or not is unknown, but Koushirou's smile was somewhat forced at this moment.

"It's getting late, shall we start now?"

Knowing when to stop, Abel ceased his relentless attacks and directly drew [Enma]. "Alright, please instruct me."

Why choose [Enma]?

Of course, it's still his quirky sense of humor.

Both Enma and Wado Ichimonji are famous swords forged by Koushirou's father. Today, we can determine which one is stronger.

In addition...

Isn't this also a different kind of NTR?

As expected, when Koushirou saw Abel draw Enma to fight him, his expression turned strange.

He didn't say anything, nor did he explain the background, perhaps because he didn't want to mention his father.

"Be careful, Master Koushirou. Although it's just a friendly spar, swords have no eyes."

Koushirou held the Wado Ichimonji sword and nodded slightly. As the dojo master, how could he not know this principle?

As long as it's a normal sparring match, even if someone dies by accident, it's their own fault.

So he simply signaled to Abel that they could begin.

Abel had no intention of holding back; his Armament Haki immediately enveloped the entire blade, turning everything except the edge black.

Ryuo!

Chapter 782 Romance of Wind and Flowers

Enma, now imbued with Armament Haki, seemed to have suddenly come to life.

Abel simply waved his hand casually, without even releasing any skills, yet unleashed a powerful flying slash imbued with domineering aura.

This is also the special ability of the sword [Enma]: it will absorb the user's Haki on its own to enhance its attacks.

If someone who hasn't mastered the art of domineering power tries to use this sword, they will be drained of their domineering power and die.

Only by completely mastering this knife can one control its instincts and avoid injury or even death.

Therefore, Enma is actually a type of demon sword.

But even the most terrifying demonic sword will become a docile little baby in Abel's hands.

Because of the [Demon Contract of the Blade], his affinity with swords is at its maximum. No sword or blade holds any secret in his hands, and he can use it immediately as if it were an extension of his own arm.

This is an advantage that no one else has.

Faced with the sudden flying slash, Koushirou did not choose to confront it head-on, but quickly dodged it.

Then he saw the flying slash, undiminished in its momentum, cleave the distant cliff in two.

The cut was so smooth, it was as silky as a hot knife cutting butter.

Unleash a skill?

There's absolutely no need for that.

With Enma in hand, even basic attacks can be imbued with sword energy!

Check out a max-level angel!

Swish, swish, swish...

Koushirou dodged, but Abel didn't care and casually swung his sword three more times while still standing in place.

The terrifying slash, now imbued with the power of the Haki, flew towards Koushirou once more.

I don't know about others, but Abel certainly didn't take the little bit of domineering aura that [Enma] absorbed seriously.

Plenty of supplies, make as much as you want!

Starving, [Yam] thought to himself, "Waaah, is it New Year's? I, Old Yama, can finally have some dumplings."

While dodging quickly, Koushirou also unleashed a flying slash.

The first two obstacles were dodged, but the last one was unavoidable, so a direct attack was the only solution.

But the power of his flying slash was nowhere near as great as Abel's!

This startled him, and he immediately slashed out with his sword again.

This finally neutralized a flying slash, but the aftershock still sent him flying back more than ten meters.

Sure enough, Abel smiled upon seeing the domineering aura emanating from Koushirou's sword.

If we don't count Garp and Shanks who occasionally come back for a stroll, Koushirou in front of us should be the strongest person in the entire East Blue right now.

At least this extremely skillful use of Armament Haki cannot be faked.

Moreover, he has already mastered even the Ryuo form.

It's true that Hawkeye didn't know that such a powerful swordsman was hidden in this small place in the East Blue, otherwise he would definitely have abandoned Shanks with his missing arm and sought pleasure elsewhere.

"Master Koushirou, even though it's just a friendly spar, we still have to give it our all, don't we?"

"That's how it should be."

Koushirou nodded and suddenly struck a pose.
