Chapter 404
One Slash, Death of the White Tiger
“The arrogant Pirate King…”
Ledfield forced himself to stand up and shouted at Kuro, “That’s not some arrogant Pirate King. That’s the position that Roger once sat on. It’s the throne that all pirates dream of. It’s the same dream as you Marines to be a Admiral and a Marshal!”
Kuro looked at him quietly and asked, “So, what’s the difference?”
These words shook Ledfield.
That’s right…
What difference could it make?
Why did I say such a thing? Isn’t this equivalent to acknowledging the dream of Marine and Pirate, which is essentially no higher or lower?
Then aren’t these people no different?
Himself…
Ledfield was stunned for a long time before he suddenly smiled. “Is the new generation of brats so sharp-tongued?”
Her smile was relieved.
He straightened his body and glanced at the water mass in the sky that could reflect his body. He saw that he was no longer as ferocious and distorted as before. Although he was still covered in mud and blood, he still looked like a gentleman.
He picked up the bat umbrella on the ground and looked at it in a daze. “The Old Era…”
With that, he looked at Kuro again.
This young Marine held a black saber and looked energetic.
His gaze shifted again and landed on the Marines under the huge white shield. All of them looked determined, but none of them were older than 40 years old.
For the current Ledfield, that is very young.
“The old era… is it really over?”
Ledfield chuckled and shook his head. He held the bat umbrella tightly and looked straight at Kuro. “Don’t underestimate the old times, kid. We are not as bad as you say!”
He erected the Bat Umbrella in front of him and Haki reappeared on the umbrella. He smiled and said, “After all, you learned something from me.”
Hearing this, Kuro smiled. “Admit that you are old…”
He held Autumn Water tightly and rushed over again. “Then use it well and give what you can leave behind to your descendants!”
The two figures continued to flash in this space, using the same pace and speed. In the eyes of everyone, it was as if they had teleported and appeared here in an instant, slashing and colliding. Then, they turned into two afterimages and appeared on the other side, continuing to collide.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
This time, Kuro did not rain, and Ledfield had no intention of breaking out from other places. It was a one-on-one high-intensity collision.
The black-and-gold Haki current and the purple Haki vortex constantly collided in space, hitting the ground until it was unrecognizable.
This place had been fighting for a long time, and the guns and guns had not been able to change the terrain greatly, but under the attack of these two people, it had already cracked into several pieces, and the seawater inside gushed out and kept rolling in the crack.
The battle continued until the night sky gradually brightened and became dim. A big sun appeared from the east.
Bang!!!
With the last loud sound, Ledfield dodged and stood still. His chest kept rising and falling, and his irregular breathing rose from his nose. The dominance that swept over the bat umbrella completely disappeared.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
On the other side, Kuro moved like a ghost and after a few flashes, he stood opposite Ledfield.
The lightning-like Golden Haki gradually faded from Autumn Water’s blade.
“You don’t have to take care of me!”
“I can still fight!” Ledfield shouted.
“Don’t misunderstand…”
Kuro raised Autumn Water horizontally, wiped his two fingers, and said lightly, “I never thought that someone of your level is so easy to deal with. I just want to use the powerful move I just developed.”
His two fingers touched the blade and glowed with a golden light. The rising red sun behind him shone on the golden light, making the light look a little blood-red and emitting a dazzling light.
“This move belongs to a stage that is about to be completed. The way you use your speed makes this move perfect.”
He swung Autumn Water and held it with both hands, leaning it to his side, in a posture of ‘Reverse Slash’.
“Oh? Using the move I got with my speed? I want to see it.”
Ledfield erected the bat umbrella in front of him again, took a deep breath and shouted, “Come on! Let me see the power of the new era!!”
Phew…
The rising of the red sun seemed to bring the wind with it, blowing it forward from Kuro’s back, stirring Ledfield’s braid and making him squint subconsciously.
Shua!
The moment the wind floated, Kuro appeared behind Ledfield. His speed could not be said to have changed in the blink of an eye. Even with his eyes open, he did not see how Kuro moved like a ghost.
The ‘Reverse Slash’ seemed to have been slashed out. Kuro maintained the posture of the slash, then he drew the blade and inserted the blade into the scabbard.
“Is this the power of your new era?” Ledfield asked slowly with his back to him.
The blade gradually returned to the scabbard.
Kuro said, “Yes, the power of the new era, listen carefully. You haven’t felt the rhythm of the wind for a long time.”
Click.
Blade, close.
“Profound meaning, one slash, White Tiger Killing.”
Kuro said lightly, “Did you hear that? The sound of the wind.”
Chi!!!
A huge hole burst open in Ledfield’s body, and his body, which appeared diagonally, was pulled from his shoulders to his waist. Blood spurted out like a fountain, scattering blood-colored flowers that looked very beautiful under the red sun.
“Ah…”
He stretched out his hand and pointed his fingers at the rising red sun as if he wanted to grab it.
That represented a new beginning, and it also represented his ambition to restore his youth.
“Take it, take it all. Although I’m not like Shiki, and even the fruit is considered to be given to you, there will always be something you can use. Help me see what the new era looks like.”
He clenched his fist for a long time and suddenly loosened his five fingers that he wanted to hold. The corners of his mouth curled into a relieved smile as he looked at the gradually rising sun and murmured, “It’s really not bad, a new era…”
Plop.
The body fell.
Blood continued to flow out of his fallen body. Under the sunlight, it actually shone with a neon color, supporting Ledfield’s bloody body and reflecting it very brightly.
“You’ve been watching New Era, you just didn’t notice it.”
Kuro turned around and sighed. “From the beginning, you have been thinking badly. Ideals, ambitions, and so on. Everyone has their own thoughts. Of course, I actually have no right to say your ideals. It’s all the same.”
Therefore, I want to safely be a salted fish that eats, drinks, and eats!
Ideals are not high or low!!!
