Chapter 860: Thank you for the experience packs sent by the two bosses
Don't come over here!!!
Mr1 roared in his heart, but it was of no avail. Erza still chopped at him with the red tassel in hand, and he could only accept the attack with gritted teeth, because he knew very well that if he didn't accept the attack, it would only be worse.
So Mr. 1 stood there like a wooden man used in training, waiting for Erza to make a move, and silently comforted himself in his heart: "Just think of it as training to target my weaknesses..."
The advantage of the Quick-Slash Fruit is that the entire body can be transformed into blades as hard as steel, so under normal circumstances, Mr. 1 is a four-sword swordsman using his arms and legs.
If this was a battle between ordinary swordsmen, it would be fine, as his iron body would make him invincible. But now her opponents are Erza, whose swordsmanship is far superior to his and who can even split meteorites in half, and Zoro, who is about to comprehend the Breath of All Things and break through the Iron-Slashing Realm. So this advantage is greatly reduced.
In the battle just now, every time their swords collided, Erza's sword would cut a tiny crack in his hand knife, while Zoro's Third Generation Kitetsu and Snow Zoro's sword had blades as hard as the ones he made, making it difficult to tell who was better.
The only opponent that Mr1 could obviously beat was Tashigi, but every time he attacked Tashigi, Erza and Zoro would raise their swords and slash at him at the same time. After several such incidents, he no longer dared to touch the woman with glasses.
To be honest, Dashigi seemed a little out of place in this confrontation.
If Erza is a fairy, Zoro is a demon, and Mr. 1 is a tiger, then Tashigi is undoubtedly a sheep, or a rabbit. In short, she is a completely different, completely harmless animal from the other three.
Her swordsmanship was just mediocre compared to Erza and the other two. She didn't have the mentality of a strong person or a swordsman, nor the firm belief to work hard for it. In addition, she had visual defects - she was severely myopic and without her glasses, it was almost like being blind. This put her in a very awkward position in this swordsmanship duel.
Tashigi, with her own strength, reduced the severity of this close combat, and also lowered the average swordsmanship level of the four people. Even though Erza and the other two had gone easy on her, she still couldn't gain any advantage in the battle.
Perhaps it was because she saw this and there were better people to teach her that Erza abandoned Tashigi and turned her attention to Zoro.
Erza's attacks with the Red Tassel were more fierce and enchanting than when she used the Black Feather and Youjue swords. She looked like a dancing red fairy in the sun, and Tashigi's eyes sparkled.
"Watch out, this is a normal attack!"
After Erza joined the battle, she did not attack directly. Instead, she used the Red Tassel to slash a few times. Her moves were ordinary and did not leave any scars. After all, the Red Tassel was just a weapon forged from a special metal ore. Although it was hard, it did not have the ability to cut through gold and jade.
But compared to before, now because Tashigi is missing, Zoro no longer holds back, Mr. 1's attacks become more fierce, Erza's eyes become sharper, and the battle between the three becomes obviously more dangerous.
This was a real battle. In comparison, the confrontation between the few people just now could only be regarded as the swordsmanship guidance of the dojo teacher. Only then did Tashigi realize how embarrassing her performance just now was, and a blush immediately appeared on her face.
Listening to the sound of metal colliding and watching the swords flying up and down in front of her, Dashiqi's eyes revealed infinite yearning and envy, "When can I become so strong?"
Suddenly, accompanied by a violent collision, the three figures simultaneously withdrew from the battle circle and stopped where they were to calm their heartbeats and breathing.
Looking at the condition of the three people again, Erza was still calm and composed, as if the previous battle was not enough to warm her up; Mr. 1 had several more blood marks on his body, one of which was on his bald head; Zoro was in the worst condition, not only was his breathing disordered, but his arms were bleeding, and his chest was also cut into a bloody mess by Mr. 1's spiral blade.
"You...you know what? This is the first time I've been injured since I ate the Quick-Slashing Fruit..."
Mr. 1's breathing was disordered, his hands and feet were shaking, and he looked at Erza with fear: "This woman not only has the power to cut iron, but her sword skills are far superior to mine. The tricky and strange slashes I made with my arms, legs, and fingers are like child's play in front of her."
This is indeed the case. Erza's knight magic can control weapons at will and perfectly. After training, she can even use her feet to cut people with a sword. Therefore, Mr. 1's attack method that uses the body as a blade is full of loopholes for her.
"So you want to ask her for medical expenses?"
Zoro was breathing heavily. The wound on his chest that was cut by Mr. 1 and was bleeding continuously had caused him to lose a lot of physical strength. If he didn't know that Crocodile had been killed and that fighting these two people would make him stronger, he would not have stayed here for any longer.
Before this, Zoro had seen many one-sword and two-sword swordsmen, as well as pirates like Locke who used claws as weapons, but he had never seen an opponent like Mr.1 whose whole body could turn into blades. If he could defeat him, his swordsmanship would be greatly improved, as well as his power.
And Erza is also the only opponent he has ever seen in his life. Her magic that can pull out a sword at any time and her sword skills that have been honed over a long period of time are also of great benefit to him.
"Pay attention, the next thing I'm going to use is the Faith Slash!"
As soon as Erza's voice fell, Mr. 1's face instantly became serious and he became extremely alert. He knew: the big one is coming!
"Open your eyes wide, I don't teach ordinary people easily."
Mr1 roared in his heart: Please let me go! Since the person you want to teach is not ordinary, shouldn’t you also find an extraordinary person to chop? ? I am also an ordinary person! !
However, Erza could not hear what he was thinking. Her eyes flashed and she rushed forward with the red tassel in hand. Mr. 1's face changed drastically. He felt as if he was locked by the opponent's aura and could not avoid this move no matter how he moved.
Since I can't avoid it, I can only defend with all my strength!
After realizing this, Mr. 1 no longer reserved his physical strength, and converted it all into the power given to him by the devil fruit. He placed his hands in front of him, stood firmly in a horse stance, held his breath, and his whole body turned into incomparably hard steel.
Just like the iron block of the Navy Type 6!
When Kira, who was outside the screen, saw Mr. 1 taking a defensive posture, he knew that the teaching was about to end, because as everyone knows, in the world of pirates, iron blocks are the most useless moves, and they can never defend against the enemy's ultimate moves!
Sure enough, the next moment.
A cut of faith!
Erza chopped down with all her might, and a flash of cherry-red blade light filled the entire live virtual screen, turning the entire virtual screen into grayish-white snowflakes.
"Wow! This magic power can actually affect my broadcasting machine?! Is Erza so strong??"
Kira had not expected this, and was stunned. Looking at the machine that had lost its function due to the huge magic power disrupting its signal, he almost blurted out "What the hell".
"I've already seen the last move, but the picture is cut off? The quality of this machine is really rubbish!!"
What Kira hated most in his life was this kind of sudden break, and he felt annoyed for a moment.
"But didn't you make this machine?" Lucy asked from the side.
"Yes, so I was criticizing the quality of the machine, not the person who made it."
After a moment, the picture returned.
At this time, Erza had disappeared from the street, leaving only Zoro, Tashigi and Mr. 1. Mr. 1 had a bloody wound on his body, but the wound was not deep. It was obvious that Erza's attack was very measured, and she had reached the point where she could freely control the power of the "Slash of Faith".
Kira smacked his lips in surprise: "How strong has Erza become now?! Hmm...how about we find some time to practice with her?"
Just then, Kira saw Zoro slowly walking towards Mr. 1 with a hideous and evil smile on his face.
What does this guy want to do? ?
Just as he was wondering, Zoro's voice suddenly came from the screen: "You should still be able to fight, right?"
"What? Did you understand the move 'Faith Slash' after just watching it once?"
Zoro sheathed the Sandai Kitetsu and Yukizoku's swords, leaving only the Wado Ichimonji sword that carried the dreams of the two people: "No, but I have realized that all things breathe."
Seeing Zoro's move, Mr. 1 frowned: "Just now, three swords all at once didn't work, and now you want to block my attack with just one sword?"
"That's enough! Oh, there's one more thing..."
"Um??"
"When facing that move just now, the best way to deal with it was not to defend, but to attack with all your strength. Let's see whose belief is stronger!"
"Are you teaching me how to use a sword?!" Mr. 1 was immediately furious. His feet turned into thin steel blades and he rushed forward rapidly in a skating posture. At the same time, his arms turned into blades and he used his strongest moves.
"I'm just telling the truth!" Zoro kept a calm face and calmly sheathed the Wado Ichimonji.
"Dust-cutting Speed Blade!!"
"Itto-ryu Iai: Lion's Elegy!!"
The next moment, a knife flashed!
Puff——!
Mr1 fell to the ground with blood spurting out, and Zoro put the Wado Ichimonji back into the sheath with a "click", and the victory was decided! !
"Thank you! I've become stronger again!!"
After eating the experience pack given by Mr. 1, Zoro's strength has been further improved. As for Erza's Faith Slash, although he did not receive it, it strengthened his belief in protecting his partners.
"Speaking of which, what was that woman's name? After teaching for so long, I still haven't understood her 'Faith Slash'. Should I say sorry to her?"
After muttering this to himself, Zoro took off his headscarf, then looked around, intending to continue heading to the rain banquet he had agreed to have with Luffy and the others. However, when he turned around, he suddenly stopped.
Behind him, Tashigi stood with a knife in her hand. Although her movements were still full of flaws, her eyes had changed. They were half similar to the look in Erza's eyes when she made the slash of faith just now.
"It seems that the woman's teaching just now was not completely ineffective..."
Dashigi tightly grasped Sayo Shigure in her hand, holding her breath and concentrating her will. The originally ordinary blade suddenly became three points brighter. "If I attack you now, you should not think that I am taking advantage of you, right?"
Zoro was not afraid at all, and drew out his sword and sheath: "Come on!!"
clang--!!
With a metallic clang, Sayo Shigure flew out of his hand, spun several times in the air, and then inserted into the ground at an inclined angle.
"I have the faith, but I still don't have enough strength!"
Dashigi fell to her knees, her eyes showing no sign of frustration: "Next time we meet, I will be stronger and bring you to justice!!"
This time, Zoro did not respond. He just put the sword back into his waist and walked away with big strides.
…
"That guy with the turban seems to have an unexpectedly keen sense of magic ... Could it be that he also has the ability to use magic?"
On the other side, Erza was heading towards the other people, reviewing the battle just now in her mind. Suddenly she discovered something and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she soon sighed.
"It's a pity that, judging by his dedication to swordsmanship, he probably has no interest in learning magic anymore."
