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

In an instant, the atmosphere changed completely.

It's like a sharp blade that has been honed over time but has just been unsheathed!

Just looking at it gives you the illusion of being cut by a knife.

And this is the person Abel wants to spar with!

"Shōgetsu Ito-ryu·Feng Wu!"

In an instant, Koushirou seemed to transform into a gentle breeze, which then swept past.

By the time he realized what was happening, he was already standing behind Abel.

laugh!

The powerful wind pressure transformed into sharp blades, instantly leaving multiple tears in Abel's outer garment.

However, the most powerful and central blow was precisely blocked by Abel's [Yama].

Those radiating wind blades were merely the aftershocks of being dispersed.

From a purely technical standpoint, that one strike was enough to ignite its prey!

It was definitely the right decision to come.

"Come again!"

Abel turned around and looked at Koushirou with a hint of excitement, but did not take the initiative to attack.

He wanted to see more of his opponent's swordsmanship.

Otherwise, he might use too much force and it would be easy to force the sparring session to end.

Koushirou knew that Abel was different from everyone he had ever met before, so he didn't hold back and launched another attack.

But this time, the breeze not only lifted up Koushirou himself, but also countless beautiful flower petals.

"Shigezuki Ittoryu·Flower Dance!"

This is a unique phenomenon in swordsmanship that can only be performed when one has reached a certain level in swordsmanship.

This move even reminded Abel of Vista, the 5th Division Commander on Whitebeard's ship.

When that guy uses his sword techniques, a large number of red rose petals appear as a sword phenomenon, making it difficult to defend against while also harboring deadly intent.

The petals that Koushirou scattered were... cherry blossoms.

And each petal represents a slash!

Abel looked up, and the cherry blossoms in the sky completely enveloped his figure.

but……

"not enough!"

Abel suddenly brandished [Enma], pouring his domineering aura into it as if it were free.

Just as he was engulfed by the cherry blossoms, several extremely dazzling sword lights suddenly burst forth from within.

Its immense power instantly shattered the swirling dance of burying flowers surrounding him.

As he used force to break through Koushirou's technique, the remaining petal phenomenon naturally disappeared.

As fellow swordsmen, Abel subconsciously compared the swordsmanship of Mihawk and Koushirou.

Putting aside the question of quality, they are at least completely different in style.

If Mihawk's path is one of profound skill without artifice, or a heavy sword without an edge...

Koushirou was even more agile and nimble, as if he had mastered swordsmanship to its highest level and then integrated it into his own way of the sword.

Based on what we've seen so far, Abel still believes that Hawkeye Mihawk put more pressure on him back then.

Of course, it's also possible that he was too weak back then, and now he's too strong.

"When I have the chance, I still want to fight Hawkeye again."

Just as this thought popped into Abel's mind, Koushirou seized the momentary opening and launched his third attack.

"Shōgetsu Ito-ryu·Xue Wu!"

A cold wind suddenly rose!

The ground was covered in snow!

Although it was only a momentary lapse in concentration, when Abel came to his senses, he found that the temperature around him had reached an extremely low level, and his body was covered with a layer of frost.

Under normal circumstances, if an enemy is hit by this move, their blood will be frozen for a short time, making it difficult for them to even move, let alone counterattack or defend.

However, this tactic was completely ineffective against Abel.

His talent makes him immune to all ice-attribute attacks, and even the magical phenomena brought about by swordsmanship cannot affect him at all. That's how domineering he is!

So when Abel easily shattered the ice on his body and wielded [Enma] as if nothing had happened in the extremely low temperature, blocking the subsequent sword light, even Koushirou, who had maintained a calm demeanor since the start of the battle, almost lost his composure and showed a look of surprise.

But then he used the final move of the "Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon" technique!

Chapter 783 Domain, another domain!

Koushirou's set of sword techniques from the Shimotsuki family originated from the four characters "Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon".

Among them, 'Moon Dance' is the most powerful and the most unpredictable!

"Shigezuki Ittoryu·Yuewu!"

Suddenly, Koushirou's figure vanished into thin air, replaced by a full moon.

Keep in mind this is in broad daylight!

And when the full moon appeared, Abel was surprised to find that he was frozen in place by the moonlight and could not move.

What is the principle?

He didn't understand.

But the moment the full moon suddenly turned into a waning crescent, he sensed a tremendous crisis.

Swish!

A crescent moon descended from the sky, landing directly on him and then shining through his body.

Bang!

The earth shattered, and sword energy crisscrossed!

After everything disappeared, the ground became a deep pit, with a curved knife mark of unknown depth remaining inside.

Abel also had a wound of the exact same shape.

Although Abel did not use his full strength and only used Armament Haki for defense, his defense was so strong that he could not be easily injured.

But Koushirou did it.

Especially that last move, it was truly exquisite and unpredictable!

He pondered for a moment, then, disregarding the knife wounds on his body, asked, "The realm of swordsmanship?"

Koushirou said, "The final move, Moon Dance, did indeed utilize a portion of the domain's power, but it doesn't quite qualify as a true swordsmanship domain."

"Okay, I also have a trick, please teach me."

Abel had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Koushirou was ready to take the challenge, he lightly touched his brow with two fingers of his left hand.

"Infinite One-Slash Slash!"

In an instant, countless silver sword intents soared into the sky.

Then it transformed into three sword rings that covered the three realms of heaven, earth, and man, forming a pseudo-sword realm that isolated the inside from the outside!

When Abel first met Koushirou, he was unable to use this move.

It was partly due to Koushirou's timely intervention, and partly due to Abel's own inability to control the situation.

But now, Abel has mastered it to a high level, and can even use it without being bound by its original form.

Just like how he combined [Clothes Bursting] and [Dragon Fist] to use together.

Sure enough, Koushirou, who was in the midst of it, immediately sensed the extraordinary nature of this move.

Since Abel didn't rush to make a move, it means he had absolute confidence in his strategy and was waiting for Abel to counter it.

So Koushirou didn't hesitate, gripping his Wado Ichimonji tightly and unleashing a powerful flying slash.

However, upon colliding with the silver sword intent that formed a ring of swords, it immediately dissipated.

And it also triggered a counterattack that came towards him.

This surprised Koushirou even more.

"Be careful."

After giving a reminder, Abel raised his hand, grasped a silver sword intent, and then instantly disappeared from the spot.

This time it's not just about speed, it's true teleportation!

Swish!

Koushirou didn't react at all, and a long tear was ripped in the back of his clothes.

He felt a chill behind him, but no pain, and he immediately knew that the other party had gone easy on him.

Koushirou wanted to stand up for himself, but the ensuing battle prevented him from doing so.

Even when he unleashed his Observation Haki to its maximum, he was still unable to detect the opponent's movement trajectory.

Because Abel didn't move at all; he teleported!

Unless one cultivates Observation Haki to an extremely high level and can foresee the future, it is impossible to take precautions in advance; otherwise, one can only passively take hits.

In this situation, if no one holds back, Koushirou would get slashed a few times and there would be no need to continue the sparring.

"This is actually the prototype of the swordsmanship realm?"

Koushirou, realizing this, felt quite helpless.
