Back home, Allen recalled the process of today’s battle in his mind.
Thinking of the flying slash he had unleashed today, he couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile.
“Years of training have finally borne fruit.
Next, I just need to master Armament Haki, and I will have truly stepped onto the path of the strong.” “As for Conqueror’s Haki, I don’t know if I have the qualifications of a king; that depends on luck.” Thinking this, Allen took his sword and walked out the door, wanting to review the flying slash once more.
Concentrating his energy, he gripped the sword with both hands and slashed forcefully towards a tree ten meters away.
With a swish, a gentle breeze followed Allen’s slash towards the tree.
By the time the force reached it, it was already exhausted, merely causing the leaves to flutter slightly.
In the distance, Allen stood with his hand in a slashing posture, a wave of awkwardness enveloping him.
o·o “Damn it, why can’t I unleash the sword energy again?” Allen looked at the air in front of him, feeling exasperated.
“It’s a good thing no one saw that, or it would be embarrassing.” He began to understand Hawkeye.
In the original story, Don Krieg of the East Blue was chased and slashed all the way just because he saw Hawkeye using his yoru as an oar to row.
(Purely a rumor) When asked why he slashed them, Hawkeye said he was killing time.
It seems Hawkeye wasn’t telling the truth; otherwise, would a 17-million-berry small fry be worth you chasing from the Grand Line to the East Blue?
It’s truly embarrassing to have such an undignified thing seen by others, just like me slashing at thin air…
“It’s just that my sword energy has become like Duan Yu’s Six Meridian Divine Sword, working intermittently.” Allen began to ponder the reason for his failure this time.
“Does it have to be used only in the face of a life-or-death crisis?
Or is it that without a crisis, my focus isn’t enough?” “Forget it, time to sleep.
I’ll continue training tomorrow; I refuse to believe I won’t be able to unleash sword energy.” After dismissing most of his guesses, Allen stopped dwelling on it too much.
The night passed without incident…
The next morning, after eating his fill and finishing his Saitama training, Allen came to the sea again to practice his sword swings.
After all, he didn’t need to go collect honey himself anymore.
He would place the wooden bucket under the tree, greet the lead bee, and the bees would put the honeycomb into the bucket themselves.
What?
You ask if the bees might renege on the deal?
Heh, don’t they want their home anymore?
So, with the extra time, Allen planned to practice sword swings in the sea to master the use of sword energy as soon as possible.
After all, those pirates sharpening their blades won’t wait for anyone.
Each slash into the sea made a swishing sound, and about half an hour passed just like that.
“It’s almost noon; I’ll go to the forest to get the wooden bucket first.
I don’t want to eat meat today, so I’ll go to Old Man Green’s place to deliver the honeycomb and solve lunch while I’m at it.” Allen put away his sword and planned to walk towards the forest.
Just then, a row of black dots appeared on the distant sea surface.
“Hmm, is it a merchant ship?
Or…
a pirate ship.” Allen intended to see the origin of the ships clearly.
Standing in place for ten minutes, the black dots gradually grew larger, and the black skull flag exclusive to pirates came into view.
“Damn it, why is it pirates again?
Is it endless?
It’s all Rocks’ fault.” Allen dismissed the idea of going to the forest and turned to run towards the town; he had to get the villagers to hide in their homes and not come out.
…
“Uncle Natsu, hurry and notify the residents to go home.
Pirates are here again.
I’m going to the harbor first; leave notifying the others to you.” Allen, who had run back to town, happened to bump into Natsu, who was taking a walk after lunch.
After informing him, he turned and ran towards the harbor.
“What!
I understand.
You be careful yourself, Allen.
Leave notifying the others to me.” After Natsu agreed, he also hurriedly ran to notify the villagers.
Allen had now run to the harbor.
Looking into the distance, he discovered there were over ten pirate ships, among which three main ships were over sixty meters long, which could be considered super-large vessels.
Looking at the pirate ships, Allen’s heart sank.
“A super-large pirate crew.
I don’t know if I can stop them.” Allen gripped the longsword in his hand and looked towards the direction the ships were sailing from with a serious expression.
Before long, the ships had entered the range of visibility, and Allen unleashed his Observation Haki to probe them.
The moment his Observation Haki made contact with the ships, Allen’s expression shook, his face full of surprise.
Because just from a preliminary probe, Allen sensed dozens of terrifying auras.
That’s right, there were dozens of them stronger than his current self.
“Damn it, who exactly is it?” The longsword in Allen’s hand was gripped even tighter.
At this moment, several figures on the pirate ships walked to the bow.
“Jiehahahaha, is this the brat using Observation Haki to scout?” After saying this, he drew one of the two longswords at his waist, casually swung it, and slashed towards the figure on the shore.
Seeing the figure at the bow, before Allen could even see what he looked like, a twenty-meter-long golden sword energy came rushing towards him.
Allen’s pupils constricted.
“Damn it, a Swordsman!” He immediately concentrated his spirit, gripped his sword with both hands, and swung with all his might.
A light blue sword energy met the golden sword energy, colliding in the air nearly a hundred meters from the harbor, and after a stalemate, they canceled each other out.
“That’s good, it didn’t fail this time.” Allen revealed a slight smile.
“Oh, there’s actually a Swordsman on such a crappy island.” “Jiehahahaha, then how will you deal with this slash?” After a brief moment of surprise, the blond man swung his sword with full force, unleashing a golden sword energy over fifty meters long that went straight towards Allen.
“Damn it, this is definitely not a slash that a Swordsman can unleash.
This is a Great Swordsman!!” Looking at the incoming sword energy again, Allen’s face twitched wildly.
He immediately used the strength he had in his past life when squeezing onto a bus after work, and swung a slash with both hands towards the golden sword energy.
The light blue sword energy was not even half the size of the golden sword energy.
It held out for less than half a second at the same position before being scattered, and the golden sword energy continued towards Allen without losing momentum.
In a panic, Allen could only raise his sword to block.
Before long, the sword energy arrived in front of Allen and crashed into the sword he had raised.
The terrifying weight transmitted to his hands made Allen’s expression grim, and he gritted his teeth.
After holding for a few seconds, the sword in Allen’s hand snapped because it couldn’t bear the weight.
The golden sword energy, having no obstruction, slashed directly onto Allen’s chest, sending him flying dozens of meters away.
“Is he dead?
Jiehahahaha, an overestimating guy.” The leading Red Hair man had been watching the youth on the shore ever since the blond man drew his sword.
Seeing him killed, he lost interest.
“Although this island doesn’t have much money, the homemade honey wine is quite famous.
Little ones, go up and loot it, hahahaha.” “Mamamama, an island famous for honey?
Then there should be a lot of desserts, right?” The woman dressed in pink said excitedly.
“Roar!!!
Long live the Captain, loot it!” Countless underlings cheered and jumped for joy.
Before long, the fleet had reached the harbor, and countless impatient underlings jumped off the ships and rushed towards the town.
The executives walked off the ships unhurriedly.
“Cough, cough…
Hey, this road is blocked.” Allen crawled up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said.
It turned out that the momentum of the blond man’s sword energy had greatly diminished after clashing with Allen’s sword energy and sword, so it wasn’t enough to cost Allen his life.
The Red Hair man looked at Allen playfully and walked up to him.
“As a Swordsman who doesn’t even have a sword anymore, what do you plan to rely on to block this road?
Little ones, go ahead, loot whatever you want, hahahaha.” Only now did Allen finally see the Red Hair man’s face, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of powerlessness.
“Rocks?”
