Conan Rick's Investigator

Two meters away from him was a long-haired man wearing a kimono in the style of a Japanese samurai.

Today is the duel agreed upon by Qin Zhibo and Ishikawa Goemon, but it is about half a day earlier than originally expected.

Qin Zhibo took the initiative to request this half-day advance in order to prevent any accidents in the upcoming coronation ceremony.

However, this action was understood by Ishikawa Goemon as a swordsman's tempering of "living towards death", which made Qin Zhibo a little distressed.

On the rooftop, in addition to these two people, other "tenants" who moved in a few days ago were also gathered here.

First is the masked man’s “son”, Conan.

He stood on the east side of the rooftop, his hands silently behind his back, a metal bucket at his feet, and watched the duel in a straddle position.

At this moment, Conan's look under the mask was very serious.

According to Qin Zhibo, this duel is a duel of life and death.

Although he has experienced so many cases with Qin Zhibo, this is the first time Conan has seen Qin Zhibo fight a life-and-death duel with someone.

In the past, Qin Zhibo took action...

Oh, no, it's a kick.

They kicked each "Wudang" disciple one by one. As the name suggests, the person who was kicked would lie down with his hands covering his crotch.

Now, Qin Zhibo not only dueled with an unfamiliar sword, but he had only learned it for two and a half days.

Two and a half days, what can you do?

Two and a half years, almost...

So no matter how strong Qin Zhibo's learning talent is, Conan feels that his kendo skills will not surpass Hattori Heiji, who has been practicing sword since he was a child.

Not to mention fighting with a master who has obviously practiced for decades.

But Qin Zhibo said that this was a life-and-death duel, and Conan had to be on guard against the worst possible scenario.

Therefore, Conan placed a metal bucket at his feet.

Whenever he saw Qin Zhibo was about to lose, he would squat down without hesitation, switch the gear of his foot-strengthening shoes to "shock", and kick the iron bucket at Ishikawa Goemon's head from behind.

Sneak attack!

On the south side of the rooftop are Yusaku Kudo, Conan, Kogoro Mori, Ran Mori who is temporarily using Fujiko Mine's body, and Inspector Koichi Zenigata.

Originally, several people were unaware of this duel.

But since Ran Mori and Fujiko Mine lived in the same room, she naturally heard the news of the duel between the two from Fujiko Mine, the "information dealer".

And Mine Fujiko said that with Ishikawa Goemon's personality, he would definitely not hold back if he agreed to a life-and-death duel.

In other words, one person must die in this duel.

The kind-hearted Ran Mao Li told others about this situation, and everyone came to watch the battle together.

As Kudo Yusaku knows the true identity of the "masked man", he certainly does not want Qin Zhibo to die in such a ridiculous duel.

However, based on his understanding of Ishikawa Goemon, Zenigata Yukichi also believed that the latter would not hold back in the duel.

And Qin Zhibo will definitely lose.

In this case, they need to find a way to prevent Ishikawa Goemon from killing Qin Zhibo.

Zenigata Koichi has a solution for this.

Just when Ishikawa Goemon was about to win, he threw out handcuffs connected to an iron chain, handcuffed Ishikawa Goemon's right hand holding the sword, and then everyone pulled him back together.

"Conan" standing at a lower position is just a child, so he doesn't need to join in. He just needs to stand by and watch.

An FBI alien operations agent versus a swordsman?

During the previous palace operation, "Conan" was able to feel that this swordsman named "Ishikawa Goemon" looked like he had long hair and was sloppy, but he was a true top master.

Although Hattori Heiji's kendo is very powerful, he can guarantee that he will be defeated within ten moves by this man.

His true strength is probably about equal to that of Sonoko's new boyfriend, Kyogoku Makoto, known as the "Kicking Prince".

Even stronger...

Therefore, in order to have something to show off to his good friends when he meets Hattori in Osaka next time, "Conan" decisively took out his mobile phone and silently recorded the video.

The north side of the rooftop.

This is the home ground of the Lupin gang. Lupin III stands in the middle, with Daisuke Jigen and Fujiko Mine, who is temporarily using Ran Mouri's body, on both sides.

The three of them were very clear about Ishikawa Goemon's principles in life.

However, taking someone's life in a duel in broad daylight, and under the nose of Uncle Qian Xing, is still a bit out of line.

Therefore, Lupin the Third also agreed with Jigen Daisuke that if Ishikawa Goemon was about to kill, they would stop him.

Before becoming partners with Ishikawa Goemon, these two had fought with him. Although their attainments in swordsmanship were definitely not as good as his, their strength in other aspects could still make up for the gap.

If Lupin the Third and Jigen Daisuke are just watching for fun, they will take action at the critical moment.

Then Fujiko Mine was the only one who was really there to watch the fun.

Fujiko Mine was not interested in the outcome of this battle, and it didn't matter who won or who died.

Although "Bean Head Dad" had offended her before, even if he died in the duel, it would not be her "credit".

It was not because of her instigation that Ishikawa Goemon decided to duel with "Long-Headed Mr.

In this case, Fujiko Mine naturally doesn't care so much about the results.

Anyway, as long as she can watch a good show, that's enough.

And this good show is about to begin...

When the 8 o'clock bell sounded from the direction of the palace, it meant that the time for the duel had arrived.

Qin Zhibo slowly took out the [Oath-Keeping Sword] that had already materialized, and held the sword horizontally in front of him.

While waiting just now, he silently observed the spectators around him.

There is a metal bucket at Conan's feet, there are iron chain handcuffs on Zenigata Koichi's hands, and there are belt buckles, steel cables and revolvers in Lupin the Third and Jigen Daisuke's hands.

It seems that no one wants this duel to result in a loss of life...

For Qin Zhibo, the underdog, this was like, "The referees, the witnesses, the organizers, and all the co-organizers are my people. How can you fight me?"

However, Qin Zhibo himself does not want to rely on the intervention of these external forces.

What's the point of practicing sword skills if it's not to make yourself truly strong?

On the opposite side, Ishikawa Goemon slowly drew his Zantetsu sword from its wooden sheath.

Drawing his sword before the duel officially began meant that he had given up on using his strongest move, "Drawing the Sword - Iai Slash";

Secondly, Ishikawa Goemon used the traditional swordsmanship method of holding the sword with the forehand, with the tiger's mouth facing the blade.

This shows that Ishikawa Goemon did abide by the previous agreement and used the skills of an ordinary person for 20 years.

This made Qin Zhibo feel relieved. The level 5 kendo skill he had just upgraded yesterday was prepared for this purpose!

The duel is about to begin. According to duel conventions, both sides take a few steps back and introduce their weapons first.

Ishikawa Goemon had a blank expression on his face. He raised the sword in his hand and said coldly, "This sword is made of meteorite iron from outer space. It can cut through iron like mud. The blade is three feet six inches long and weighs four kilograms."

Qin Zhibo nodded in understanding, raised his sword, and said, "This sword is made of Valyrian steel, it can slay demons and monsters..."

"The sword's edge has never been measured, and its weight has never been weighed."

Ishikawa Goemon narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze flickered.

"I taught you knife skills, but you used a sword?"

Qin Zhibo replied, "Swords and sabers are inseparable. As long as you have mastered the skills, the difference is just a matter of a few moves..."

Ishikawa Goemon remained silent, which was considered as his agreement. He was about to shout that they could start, but Qin Zhibo raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait a moment."

"Hmm?" Ishikawa Goemon snorted in confusion.

Qin Zhibo said nothing, walked straight to Ishikawa Goemon, stretched out his right foot and said.

"Before the duel begins, I ask you to step on my shoe."

Ishikawa Goemon and the others were stunned for a moment, then lowered their heads and frowned, looking at Qin Zhibo's shoes.

This was a pair of shoes with a very strange shape, made of bright gold patent leather, with a large pointed piece at the front inlaid with gorgeous yet cumbersome red and green gems.

When the spectators saw this, they instantly became a little uneasy.

Kudo Yusaku: Even though it's Qin from a parallel world, it's a bit too childish, actually wearing Chelsea shoes to fight...

Fujiko Mine: These shoes look really valuable! If I steal them, we'll be even.

Lupin the Third: How come this guy is more suitable to be the protagonist of a comedy comic than me?

"Conan": Could it be that this FBI is an alien himself?

Only Conan knows where the sword and shoes came from, and his expression under the mask is very helpless.

According to Qin Zhibo himself, he bought them in a nearby boutique: the sword cost $8000 and the shoes cost $2000.

Although Ishikawa Goemon frowned and was very puzzled, since it was his opponent's deathbed request, there was nothing he couldn't satisfy.

He raised his foot coldly and stepped his clogs on the golden Chelsea.

Although Ishikawa Goemon didn't use much force, Qin Zhibo felt the power, the power surging from inside his body.

[Golden Chelsea has been covered in dust, please shout out the contents in the note]

Qin Zhibo didn't even bother to read the contents of the notes and just stood there and shouted.

"A hero can be wronged, but you can't step on my Chelsea!"

Everyone around opened their mouths slightly and let out an "Ah?"

Ishikawa Goemon froze in his place, his right eyelid twitching, and he said in a daze, "Didn't you tell me to step on it?"

[Golden Chelsea has locked onto the Dusted One, target: Ishikawa Goemon]

[Strength +10]

This is the deep meaning behind Qin Zhibo's series of bizarre actions, triggering the hidden effect of the item [Golden Chelsea].

The item [Golden Chelsea] not only increases agility when running, but also increases strength to the target when stepped on.

Feeling the power, Qin Zhibo raised his knife and slashed at Ishikawa Goemon.

This sudden attack startled everyone.

But Ishikawa Goemon was an unparalleled master after all. He stood there, motionless, holding the sword in both hands and raising it upwards.

Although the situation just now was a bit strange, he believed that with the difference in strength between himself and the opponent, he could easily resolve this battle, but he was not in a hurry to end it.

He's a respectable, albeit somewhat arrogant, opponent...

Qin Zhibo swung the Oath-Keeping Sword down heavily.

Ishikawa Goemon blocked the attack with his sword in advance, but the blade was obviously tilted to the side of his body, and the sparks produced by the collision of the iron objects almost hit his kimono.

what!

Ishikawa Goemon was shocked. The strength he used was almost the same as during teaching yesterday, but now he was obviously defeated?

Ishikawa Goemon didn't know that when Qin Zhibo practiced sword before, he was always in the most basic state without any bonus.

In today's "Prop Competition", Qin Zhibo used the [Oathkeeper Sword], wore the [Gift of the Golden Tree], and wore the [Golden Chelsea] on his feet to trigger the enemy-locking effect.

Qin Zhibo's current agility is 60+10=70.

Strength is 75+5+10=90!

Under this violent force, Ishikawa Goemon immediately became serious and increased the strength of his arms.

But Qin Zhibo had already put away his sword and continued to use the front two-thirds of the sword to chop towards Ishikawa Goemon's left shoulder.

This is the sword technique taught by Ishikawa Goemon, but now Qin Zhibo is using it on the sword.

Before Ishikawa Goemon could straighten his wrist with the Zantetsu sword that had just been tilted, he was attacked again by a torrential downpour of blows.

The powerful and swift chopping attacks made him overwhelmed and he could only retreat to avoid the attacks.

when!
