Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"what happened?"

The speaker was a burly man with spiky hair. He pushed through the crowd and stepped out, his large, bell-like eyes scanning everyone before finally looking towards the hotel entrance...

A thin man said, "I don't know. The screams seemed to be coming from Old Ollie's hotel. I remember someone checked into his hotel yesterday..."

The spiky-haired man casually pointed at someone: "Go take a look!"

"..."

Perhaps the spiky-haired man's tyranny was too overwhelming; though timid, the man dared not refuse and slowly infiltrated the inn...

'boom! '

Then a flash of emerald green light appeared, and before the person could even get close, he was blasted away, coughing up blood as he pierced through a building...

This scene plunged the room into an eerie silence.

'Tap tap!'

Footsteps could be heard coming from inside the hotel.

Everyone's pupils contracted, and they subconsciously took a step back, but their gazes turned towards that direction.

"It's really lively; so many people came to welcome us so early in the morning."

Wearing sunglasses, Locks strolled out leisurely, glanced at the people in the room, and grinned: "This island is certainly welcoming."

The spiky-haired man stared warily at Lox: "Who are you?"

Rocks casually made up a story: "Black-haired Stinks".

"..."

The burly man with the spiky hair frowned slightly.

I have absolutely no recollection of this name or title.

As a bounty hunter, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the person on whom the bounty is placed; it's part of his "job."

But black hair...

Recently, a "black-haired swordsman" has caught his attention.

He simply didn't connect the man in front of him with the "black-haired swordsman," as it was unlikely to be such a coincidence.

Staring at Lox, the spiky-haired giant spoke in a deep voice: "What did you do to old Ollie and the others?"

Lox counted on his fingers and chuckled, "Shouldn't it be that he was killed?"

"..."

Everyone was stunned.

Killing someone is killing someone, should they have been killed?

Is this guy messing with them?

"you……"

The spiky-haired man was about to say something when he saw another person approaching, and he immediately stopped talking.

His face showed respect and fear...

What happened here?

Daz Bonis naturally noticed the commotion and immediately headed over.

He walked slowly but steadily.

An inexplicable sense of oppression emanated from him, causing those around him to fall silent in fear...

Daz Bonis's gaze fell on Rocks, glancing at the sword tucked into Rocks's waist: "A swordsman?"

Then, unconcerned, he looked at Locke and said calmly, "Do you know the consequences of causing trouble here?"

After glancing at Daz Bonis, Rocks didn't respond, but called out into the inn, "Kuina, your opponent has arrived."

"Ok?"

Daz Bonis narrowed his eyes and actually ignored him; he was quite bold.

And what did the other person mean by those words?

However, due to his calm and collected nature, he did not make any statement.

Is it him?

Kuina walked out of the inn, scanned the room, and finally landed on Daz Bones, asking in confusion, "Not a swordsman?"

She had always assumed that the person Rocks mentioned, the one worthy of her attention, was a swordsman...

"He is indeed not a swordsman, but he is an ability user."

Rocks said, "A blade man who ate the Quick-Cut Fruit can turn his whole body into blades, making him a suitable opponent for you."

"A user of the Quick-Cut Fruit..."

Kuina's expression became more serious, and she understood some of Lox's thoughts.

She had only recently grasped the essence of cutting iron and had not yet experienced actual combat.

The blade-wielding person in front of her, who can transform her entire body into blades, is the best opponent to judge whether she can utilize the Iron-Cutting Realm swordsmanship!

"Does he still have such confidence now that he knows me?"

Daz Bonis also heard what Lox said, and his eyes flashed slightly: "It seems you are not simple people, not ordinary people."

"But for any swordsman, there is only one outcome before me: defeat!"

He was once a notorious assassin in the West Sea, so it's not surprising that some people know him.

He was surprised that these people were so confident even after knowing his identity.

However, he didn't pay much attention to the swordsman.

At least none of the swordsmen he had encountered in the past could even break through his defenses!

'Shuh! '

Daz Bonis moved, charging forward.

Along the way, his right hand took the shape of a tiger's claw, with each finger transforming into a sharp blade, as he grabbed down towards where Rocks was.

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through the air could be heard!

Clang!

Five sharp fingers were blocked by a gleaming sword blade, the sound of metal clashing rang out, accompanied by sparks flying.

Holding the Wado Ichimonji, Kuina's eyes flashed with the sharpness of a swordsman, her voice cold and clear: "Whether we are defeated or not cannot be decided with a single sentence; a battle will tell!"

Chapter 74 Kuina's Battle!

'Sizzle...'

Kuina exerted force with her hand.

The sword cut like a saw, its blade rubbing against the fingers, creating a piercing sound accompanied by sparks...

"One-sword style, caressing and slashing!"

As she dissipated the opponent's force, Kuina let out a low shout and swung her sword to strike.

The sword's edge flashed like a fluorescent blade, striking Daz Bonis in front of him.

"it's useless!"

Bonnies reacted extremely quickly.

He raised his left arm to block, and in an instant it transformed into a steel blade, blocking Kuina's cunning sword strike!

With a clang, the clash of metal sparks flew once more!

"This kind of attack can't break through my defenses!"

Bonis remained unmoved, his voice cold and ruthless.

He swung his right hand again, his five fingers forming claws as he grabbed at Kuina from below, the sharp claws easily tearing through flesh and blood.

Clang!

Kuina sheathed her sword to parry, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.

Then the offensive resumed, and she wielded the Wado Ichimonji in her hand so tightly that it was impenetrable, slashing down one after another.

Bonis unleashed his power, transforming every part of his body into blades to block Kuina's dense slashes.

'Clang clang clang...'

The two engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat in an instant.

Bonis's body can transform into sharp blades from any part of it. His attack style differs from that of a swordsman. Although he uses physical techniques, each attack carries a sharp and murderous aura.

Facing Bonis's attack, Kuina remained highly focused, not daring to relax or be careless in the slightest.

'laugh!'

After blocking one of Kuina's slashes, Bonis raised his right leg and cleaved down like a battle axe.

Its legs transformed into sharp blades, slashing down and carving a trench in the earth that stretched for several meters.

This is not a flying slash, but a cut caused by the spread of force.

Just as a casual strike from a powerful individual can cause immense destruction...

'More resilient than ordinary refined iron, a body of the caliber of a renowned sword—truly befitting a Devil Fruit user…'

Kuina dodged the attack to the side, but couldn't help but marvel at it.

She has already entered the realm of cutting iron, and ordinary hundred-fold refined iron can be easily cut by her.

However, the opponent's body was even tougher than refined iron.

If there were a standard for judgment, the blade formed from the opponent's body would not be much inferior to a sword of the level of Wado Ichimonji.

After dodging the opponent's attack, Kuina's eyes sharpened, and her offensive erupted instantly as she swung her sword down: "One-Sword Style: Rondo!"
