One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

They had confidence in their first mate's abilities.

Perhaps after they've dealt with their opponent.

First mate Raleigh has already dealt with the enemy; they don't need to come and help.

"Sol".

Kahn said, "Go south."

"..."

Thor's eyes widened suddenly.

It understood the unspoken meaning in Lord Kahn's words.

Reinforcements are coming from the south!

He was to go south and be ready to provide support to the east, west, and north at any time.

That's not right!

The reinforcements just happen to be in the south; that's too much of a coincidence. It seems that Lady Lena and Kaiser haven't shown up at all... Thor is quite intelligent and studies very diligently, which is reflected in his understanding of his comrades.

It considered one possibility.

Lord Kahn must have devised the best plan to severely damage the Roger Pirates. As long as I steadfastly follow behind him, there will be absolutely no problem.

"You bunch of samurai!"

Facing the warriors on the field, Thor raised his hammer and said, "I, Thor, choose the south to challenge your honor as warriors. You may either abandon your warrior status or accept the challenge."

Chapter 212 Wano Country: Kahn vs. Rayleigh (Two-in-One)

"I……"

Thor's eyes were solemn as he declared, "Thor, the God of Thunder, declares war on you for the honor of Lord Cain!"

"I agree!"

"For the honor of the samurai!"

"You can choose the location!"

Many samurai, seeing that Thor was just a Shiba Inu, swallowed hard as they looked at the various monsters on the battlefield and eagerly chose to challenge him.

"Choose any one?"

Thor coldly observed the group of warriors, then said slyly, "How about right here?"

"..."

The samurai were sweating profusely.

My legs were trembling uncontrollably.

What a ridiculous joke!

If they dared to fight here, they would have already started.

Samurai of this era lived a life of luxury and privilege, and none of them wanted to give up their good life to fight for their lives! Each samurai had several concubines in his household, all of whom he had seized, each one delicate, juicy, and with a graceful figure.

They could even show off their power in front of ordinary people and receive their respect.

Even without money, one can still get money from ordinary people.

This resulted in the samurai of this period lacking the fighting spirit and the willingness to die for their cause. Most of them were all talk and no action; in reality, many were afraid of dying.

"Hahaha……"

Thor laughed wildly, gleefully carrying his little hammer, and charged south.

The samurai, though embarrassed, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. They picked up the samurai swords that had been discarded by one of the samurai and followed after them.

In their view, a Shiba Inu couldn't be that difficult to deal with; at least it was much better than the monster that had brutally murdered Kin'emon earlier, and it didn't have such a frightening aura.

Apart from Oden's retainers who needed to protect the incapacitated Oden, almost all the other samurai accepted the challenge and rushed south with Thor, away from the battlefield that terrified them.

"Humph!"

Denjiro snorted coldly.

"A bunch of cowards who are afraid of dying!"

"Ninja" Raizo said indignantly, "Lord Oden was so good to them!"

Several of Oden's retainers watched the samurai leave with longing eyes.

They were very envious.

They have a sharp tongue.

City of Flowers

On the core battlefield.

Few remained; the number of dead far exceeded the number of survivors.

Besides Kahn and Rayleigh, all that remains is Oden, who is seriously injured and lying on the ground, and has not yet received treatment or emergency bandaging, as well as Oden's retainers.

"Why aren't you giving Oden emergency treatment and leaving this place?!"

Looking at the stunned Oden retainers, Rayleigh's eyes showed some impatience. There were too many useless teammates, all of them samurai. It was probably a mistake to have encountered this group of samurai.

“I never said they could leave.”

Kahn's killing intent coalesced into a powerful force, striking down on the Oden retainers and preventing any of the still-developing retainers from making any rash moves.

"You made the wrong choice."

Rayleigh's eyes gradually turned cold as he said, "Do you think I care about them?"

call out!

Kahn drew his sword.

Draw your sword!

He directly attacked one of Oden's retainers.

Not flashy at all.

Simply fast, accurate, and ruthless.

It demonstrates a solid foundation in swordsmanship.

A sword strike landed on a samurai dressed in a woman's kimono, with a Hime cut hairstyle, indigo eyes, and long, dark blue hair. He was well-built and had a striking appearance.

It's only a few centimeters from the center of your eyebrows.

This samurai is named Kikunojo. She looks like a beautiful woman, but she is actually male.

the other side.

Rayleigh, who was further away, instinctively drew his sword the instant Kahn made his move, arriving in front of his opponent with the simplest technique: a rapier, combining speed with precision.

Extreme basic swordsmanship.

Extremely powerful.

Instead of aiming for Kahn, the sword tip went to protect Kikunojo, one of the few samurai among Oden's retainers whom Rayleigh had a good impression of, as if he had gained another daughter.

We must save them!

Having experienced the battle between God Valley and Cain, he understood that the more basic the strategy, the better, when dealing with this opponent.

The more elaborate the moves, the easier it is to fall into a disadvantageous position.

Just as his opponent's sword was about to strike Kikunojo's brow, it suddenly turned and charged straight at him. Rayleigh chose to parry with his sword, blocking the sudden change in his opponent's attack, and quickly retreated. Kahn seized the opportunity to close the distance and engage in combat. His sharp sword strikes were so tangible that they tore through the air, disrupting the surrounding airflow, and aimed directly at Rayleigh's face.

Kahn struck first.

They have the advantage.

They place great emphasis on fundamentals and speed, which has greatly influenced Katakuri, Gaia, and others. They also focus on fundamentals and have very fast attack speeds. Katakuri, in particular, has been practicing his thrusting technique for over ten years.

This series of moves caught Rayleigh off guard, but years of fighting and Wano Country's understanding and retraining of swordsmanship allowed him to narrowly dodge the attack.

Although he dodged the attack, the sharpness of Cain's sword left a bloody mark on Rayleigh's face, and blood flowed down his cheek from the open wound.

Rayleigh didn't care. His blood and qi surged, and the internal organs of a top-level expert transformed into core kinetic energy, making his sword speed even faster. Every sword strike was delivered with all his might, and the sword was wrapped with Armament Haki powerful enough to break through Katakuri and Kaido's defenses.

Each sword strike was far faster than Gaia's.

Facing a formidable opponent, both men remained focused and dared not be careless.

Rayleigh, on the other hand, was steady and methodical. His swordsmanship was simple yet dense, emphasizing speed and fundamentals. Relying on his own strength, which was already superior to Kahn's, his sword speed and explosive power were both above Kahn's.

Even so, it was merely a matter of not being at a disadvantage.

His opponent was truly an anomaly, able to fight against a much stronger opponent, though not by a huge margin, thanks to his extraordinary swordsmanship and precision.

The two sides were temporarily evenly matched.

Not only were his own advantages concealed, but the gap in strength between the two sides could also be bridged. Rayleigh was fighting and analyzing the battle situation in his mind at the same time, his spirit and energy highly concentrated, his observation haunt fully activated, constantly trying to find Kahn's weaknesses.

But no matter what, they couldn't find a flaw.

It seems that we must rely on a protracted war to find a weakness. With this in mind, Rayleigh relaxed his mindset and decided to proceed steadily no matter what happens next.

To wear down this opponent, whose potential and strength are both formidable.

Kahn's eyes showed neither joy nor sorrow; he was completely absorbed in the battle, his mentality even surpassing that of Rayleigh.

Both of them activated their Observation Haki to its fullest extent!

They only have eyes for each other!

However, they focus all their Armament Haki on their swords, not using any of it for self-defense. They choose to decide the outcome as swordsmen, which is what distinguishes them from ordinary strong individuals. They use their power where it is needed and leave themselves no way out.

The so-called escape route is mostly to be covered in Armament Haki and then get cleaved in two by a single sword strike.

Unreliable.

He likes to cover his entire body with Armament Haki as a backup plan to defend against his opponent's attacks.

Most of them are strong individuals who are neither particularly outstanding nor weak.
