Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

In an instant, he unleashed several slashes, the flashes of swords and blades creating a chaotic scene.

The sword fell toward Bonis, and the clang of metal clashing echoed through the air.

Despite blocking Kuina's series of attacks, Bonis was still knocked back, his legs leaving a long trail on the ground...

"State your name, swordsman..."

Bonis steadied himself.

He glanced at the bleeding wound on his right arm, his eyes narrowing slightly: "To be able to break through my defenses, you are very strong, enough to leave your mark here!"

The opponent's final strike broke through his defenses, leaving him with a wound.

This was the strongest swordsman he had ever encountered, and she was a woman...

It's not that he looks down on women, but rather that women do indeed have inherent disadvantages compared to men.

The fact that the other party could injure him was enough to show that the other party was extremely strong, and it was worth remembering the other party's name!

"Kuina of the Isshin-ryu school, her sword is Wado Ichimonji, one of the 21 Great Grade Swords."

Kuina stood proudly in the center, sword in hand, her beautiful face expressionless. She said calmly, "I have adapted to the resilience of your body. I will now give it my all."

If the opponent's body is stronger than ordinary steel, then crush it with a stronger strike.

She can do it!

"Kuina of the Isshin-ryu style? I'll remember that!"

Bonnie said he remembered the name.

He conjured sharp blades with his fingers and said calmly, "Daz Bonis, formerly an assassin, is now a high-ranking agent at Baroque Works, codenamed Mr. 1..."

The moment he finished speaking, Bonis's feet transformed into blades, moving as if he were skating.

In the blink of an eye, they charged towards Kuina!

Kuina's eyes were sharp, and she showed no fear as she waited for her opponent to enter her attack range.

Clang!

The five fingers, transformed into blades, collided with the Wado Ichimonji once more.

This time, neither side was testing the waters; they went all out, the clang of metal was louder, and sparks flew everywhere!

"Slay him with a stroke!"

Despite being at a physical disadvantage, Kuina possessed superior technique.

He deflected the force by pushing away the opponent's arm, and at the same time, he twisted his wrist, causing the sword to fall down on his head.

The sword flashed with a sharp, deadly light, possessing the power to cut through steel!

The realm of cutting through iron is a kind of idealistic swordsmanship.

By infusing one's will into the blade, and wielding it with that will, unleashing unimaginable power.

Even without a monstrous physique, one can still cut through steel!

This is the application of "sword stance".

Use momentum to defeat the enemy!

Although Bonis does not possess Observation Haki, he has honed his keen senses and judgment through numerous battles.

He sensed a threat from that sword strike!

This was a sword strike powerful enough to cut through his defenses and threaten him!

Instead of stubbornly choosing to block, he dodged, simply shifting his body to the side, causing the sword to miss its mark.

"You are indeed strong, but not every sword strike has the power to break through my defenses..."

Bonnie realized something too.

While it's true that the opponent's sword could break through his defenses, not every strike could.

Only a well-prepared strike possesses the power to cut through steel.

"Annihilation Slash!"

Bonis's eyes turned cold and sharp as he lashed out with his right leg, which transformed into a whip.

His right leg was as flexible as a whip, yet as sharp as a knife, cutting through the air with a piercing whistling sound!

Kuina didn't speak; she wasn't one to waste words during battle.

Faced with the sweeping whip kick, he simply took a step back and easily dodged it.

He wanted to take the opportunity to attack, but he noticed that his opponent twisted his body to use the momentum.

The other leg came straight at his face, the toe of which had turned into a sharp blade, thrusting through and revealing its deadly move!

Clang!

Instantly reacting, Kuina deftly deflected the attack with a flick of her sword.

This move was very clever, causing the opponent to lose their balance and their body to subtly tend to take off.

This has already revealed a flaw...

"Annihilation Slash!"

But Bonis was clearly prepared; the moment he was airborne, he crossed his arms and grabbed down hard at Kuina.

This grab was powerful, sharp, and deadly.

Even a tall building could be cut in half by him!

'Unavoidable...'

Kuina's pupils contracted slightly as she sensed a strong threat from the attack, leaving her unable to dodge in an instant.

I also had a vague feeling about it.

The opponent's attack range this time will not be small, and with my speed, I cannot dodge to a safe position in an instant.

Then block it!

"Slay him with a stroke!"

Kuina's eyes sharpened, and in that instant, she also gripped the hilt of her sword with her left hand.

One-handed swords are more agile and suitable for close combat; while two-handed swords are for direct, forceful attacks that abandon technique.

Facing the opponent's crossed, bladed hands, Kuina also unleashed a powerful sword strike, clashing head-on with her opponent!

Chapter 75 Crocodile's Attention!

Clang!

This collision was even more violent.

The moment their attacks collided, a ripple of air rippled outwards, and the ground beneath their feet cracked from the impact.

'boom!'

The two did not remain locked in a stalemate for long; their combined offensive forces exploded at that moment.

With no foothold, Bonis, whose body was suspended in mid-air, flew backward like a cannonball; while Kuina, who had a foothold, only retreated a dozen meters before stopping.

'Hiss hiss hiss...'

At that moment, the combined power of their attacks erupted, spreading out like a flying slash.

The aftershocks left deep cuts in the earth, and even some nearby buildings were cut apart.

In just a moment, the surroundings became a mess, leaving behind cuts of varying depths...

……

This scene caused all the bounty hunters gathered there to gasp in shock...

How could they have ever witnessed such a violent collision?

This somewhat shocked their limited worldview...

"Who exactly is that woman? How could she possibly fight against a high-ranking intelligence agent..."

"This level of strength is terrifying!"

"How could someone with this kind of strength be unknown? Just who is this guy?"

"Could that lord be defeated?"

This is the lair of bounty hunters, and has been the site of numerous battles with pirates in the past.

But none of those pirates possessed such exaggerated strength...

Bounty hunters who knew Bonis's identity were even more surprised and shocked.

The Baroque Works organization is structured in the shape of a pyramid, and the smaller the code number, the stronger its power.

Daz Bones, codenamed Mr. 1, is definitely one of the strongest members of Baroque Works.

He might only be inferior to Mr. O, the president who founded Baroque Works...

As a result, even the top experts of their Baroque Works couldn't win over a woman who looked very young?

Many people are already panicking.

If even Mr. 1 can't win over the person in front of them, then it's even less likely that they can.

They're not blind or stupid; they can see that Kuina is focused on Lox...

……

'A close match? Hmm, Kuina should be slightly better, stronger than Zoro during his Alabasta period in the original story…'

Lockes began to ponder, counting on his fingers.

Although there are still three years until the battle between Daz Bones and Zoro in the original story.

But Daz Bones' strength now may not be much weaker than it will be three years from now.

Knowledge, willpower, goals, talent, experience... all these factors influence a person's overall strength.
