Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

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.

Holding the Wado Ichimonji, Kuina's eyes flashed with the sharpness of a swordsman, and her voice was cold and clear: "Whether one is 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 hands.

The Wado Ichimonji cut like a saw, the sword's edge rubbing against the fingers that had become blades, a piercing sound accompanied by sparks...

"One-Sword Style: Slash!"

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

The sword's edge flashed like fluorescent light as it struck, slashing towards Daz Bonis in front of him.

"It's no use!"

Bonnies reacted extremely quickly.

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

With a loud 'clang,' the clash of metal sent sparks flying once more!

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

Bonis remained unmoved, his voice cold and ruthless.

He then 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 and parried, 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 barrage of slashes.

'Clang clang clang...'

The two immediately engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

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 deadly 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 brought it down like a battle axe.

The legs transformed into sharp blades, cleaving the earth in a furrow that stretched for several meters.

This is not a flying strike, 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 forged iron, a body of legendary sword quality—truly befitting a Devil Fruit user…'

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

She has reached the level of mastering iron cutting; she can easily cut through ordinary forged iron.

However, the opponent's body was more resilient than a hundred-times-forged 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!"

In an instant, he unleashed several slashes, the flashes of blades and sword shadows crisscrossing the air.

The sword tip fell toward Bonis, and the clanging sound of metal clashing echoed.

Faced with Kuina's series of slashes, Bonis managed to block them, but was still knocked back, his legs leaving a long trail on the ground...

"State your name, swordsman..."

Bonnie stood firm.

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

The opponent's final sword 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 opponent could injure him was enough to show that the opponent was extremely strong, and it was worth remembering the opponent'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 arena, sword in hand, her beautiful face expressionless. She said calmly, "I have adapted to the resilience of your body. From now on, I will give it my all."

If the opponent's body is stronger than ordinary steel, then use an even stronger strike to crush it.

She can do that!

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

Bonnie said he remembered the name.

His fingers transformed into sharp blades as he calmly stated, "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, he charged towards Kuina!

Kuina's eyes were sharp and fearless as she waited for the other party to enter her attack range.

'Clang!'

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

This time, the two sides were no longer testing each other; they went all out, the clang of metal was even louder, and sparks flew everywhere!

"Slay him!"

Despite being at a disadvantage in physical strength, Kuina was superior in 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.

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

The Realm of Cutting Iron is a kind of idealistic swordsmanship realm.

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

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

This is a mockery of "sword stance".

Use force to kill the enemy!

Although Bonis doesn't possess Observation Haki, his numerous battles have honed his keen senses and judgment.

He sensed the threat from that sword strike!

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

Instead of stubbornly choosing to block, he dodged, simply sidestepping to the side and letting the sword fall into empty air.

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

Bonis also realized something.

Although it's true that the opponent's sword can break through his defense, not every sword strike can do so.

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

"Annihilation Slash!"

Bonis's eyes turned cold and fierce 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 in battle.

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

He tried to take the opportunity to attack, but 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 and piercing through, revealing its deadly move!

'Clang!'

Responding instantly, Kuina deftly deflected the attack with a flick of her sword.

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

This has already revealed its flaws...

"Annihilation Slash!"

But Bonis was clearly prepared; the instant his body was airborne, he crossed his arms and slammed down hard on Kuina.

This grab is powerful, heavy, and sharp.

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

'Unavoidable...'

Kuina's pupils contracted slightly as she sensed the intense threat posed by the attack, rendering her unable to dodge in an instant.

There was also a vague feeling.

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 I'll block it!

"Slay him!"

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, blade-wielding 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 the two clashed, 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 power exploded at that moment.

Bonis, with no foothold, flew backward like a cannonball; while Kuina, having a foothold, only retreated a dozen meters before coming to a stop.

'Hiss hiss hiss...'

At that moment, the power of their attack collided and burst forth, spreading out like the aftershocks of a flying strike.

The aftershocks left deep cuts in the earth, even slicing through some nearby buildings.

In an instant, the surrounding area became a complete mess, leaving behind streaks of deep gray and grime.

……

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

How could they have ever witnessed such a violent collision?

This somewhat shocked their limited worldview...
