Chapter 401

Someone Must Sit on the Empty Throne

Advanced Haki!

Kuro’s eyes narrowed and the speed of his blade did not decrease but increased. At this moment, the Armament Haki at his throat became more solid.

The blade hit Ledfield.

At this moment, the Bat Umbrella stabbed Kuro’s throat.

Bang!!!

The two of them separated again. Ledfield grunted and retreated more than ten meters this time. His shoulders, waist, and chest were all cut. Even with the enhancement of Armament Haki in those three directions, they were still cut open.

At the same time, his clothes seemed to have been cut by thin blades, and there were countless cuts on his body.

In just a moment, the gentleman’s appearance looked tattered.

Kuro only leaned back, and there was a trace of blood in his throat. He twisted his neck and his face was a little heavy.

His strength was scattered by this blow.

This old guy is indeed old and very experienced.

This was not comparable to Golden Lion’s incomplete state. At that time, it took so long to cut off one of his hands, but in the end, if he pulled out the rudder, he was not his opponent at all.

However, the present is not comparable to the past.

“The power of shock?”

Ledfield looked at the small wounds on his body and frowned. “Can Haki reach such strength?”

“It’s not good!” Kuro grinned.

He did not study the ‘Nail Fist Art’ brought by Basil for nothing. His Haki can now be combined with a little counterforce. Through the form of external release, combined with the ‘diffusion’ nature of the Nail Fist Art, if others hit him, they will be reflected by the force.

As the saying goes, the outer circle scrapes… No, in any case, hitting me is equivalent to hitting yourself.

“Lion Calls!”

Kuro reached out his hand and the debris that had been shattered by Ledfield reassembled into a huge lion head that bit at him from the air.

“I told you, this trick is useless. Even Shiki didn’t dare to be careless with me.”

Ledfield held the Bat Umbrella and was about to break the lion’s head again when he suddenly stopped and looked down. He saw that his ankles were tied by the rocks that were spat out.

“Of course the ability must be combined with itself!”

Kuro’s voice came from afar and quickly came to Ledfield’s side. He didn’t know when Autumn Water had returned to her sheath. At this time, she was pulled out by him again and turned into a straight black light.

“Yuelong!”

The black blade flashed.

“Jiuhe?”

With a move of his ankle, Ledfield broke through the shackles of the rock and his body turned into a shadow as he retreated, avoiding the extremely fast knife.

“Tsk, a poisonous snake.”

Kuro waved one hand and triggered a wave of rocks, surging forward.

Boom!

The stone wave was quickly broken and Ledfield jumped back and forth in the space as if he had teleported. He jumped into the sky and after breaking the huge lion head with his sword, he teleported again in the space, not letting Kuro catch him.

Kuro’s pupils kept shifting, staring at the flickering figure.

“Can’t I catch it? This old thing…”

Haki, swordsmanship… Armament Haki may not be as domineering as Kaido, but Kenbonshoku (Observation) is as strong as a monster. In Kenbonshoku (Observation), Kuro is not his opponent. If he doesn’t calm down, it will be difficult to capture him.

Kuro held Autumn Water in his hand and turned it from the blade that he had just swung back to the blade in front of him. The fingers of his other hand moved slightly and the lion heads in the air fell one after another, forming a semicircle barrier in front of him.

“Psychic Blade: Lion Bite!”

The blade swung out, stirring up a strong wind that swept into the barrier.

Chi chi chi!

A dense number of tiny cut marks appeared on the ground. As the wind swept, it kept pushing towards the flickering afterimage.

Let’s see how you hide!

“This is really…”

Ledfield stopped flashing and the Bat Umbrella swept away the purple gas. A mass of omnidirectional slash that wrapped him spread from his body. The slash and the wind intertwined and made a crisp sound.

This guy is a little tricky.

“But if it’s only to this extent…”

The strong wind was still blowing. Ledfield stretched out his hand and the bat umbrella was erected in front of his face, in the posture of a knight holding a sword.

“It’s far from enough, kid!”

“Be careful!” Leda subconsciously shouted when he made this gesture.

For some reason, just looking at it made her hair stand on end.

He will die!

“Tou!”

Whoosh!

The figure with the cloak turned into a blood-red light and directly broke through the wind and waves in the storm and rushed towards Kuro at an extremely fast speed. On the tip of the umbrella, Haki had already condensed into a point and flashed with purple light.

One point to break the formation!

“Unexplained Divine Wind: Black Tortoise!”

Of course, Kuro did not dare to be careless. He immediately wiped Autumn Water with two fingers. As the golden light appeared on the blade, a Xuanwu phantom enveloped his body. The turtle shell blocked in front of him, and the snake-shaped phantom coiled on it stared straight at the advancing blood-red star.

“Oh? A phantom beast, a magical sword technique.”

Ledfield’s body froze, but only for a moment. It didn’t affect his speed at all. The tip of the umbrella pierced the turtle shell that was protecting Kuro in all directions.

Crack!

The turtle shell revealed a large number of cracks under that point, shattering inch by inch like glass.

“Lion Thousand Cut Valley!”

At this moment, Kuro waved his hand and his blade turned into an afterimage, slashing out a hundred golden slashes in a row, bombarding Ledfield in front of him like a storm.

“Oh… Shiki’s move. It seems that he is not only dead.”

Ledfield’s figure flashed straight as if he was taking a stroll in the park. When the slash came, he turned into an afterimage and flashed away, making the slash miss. There were hundreds of slashes, none of them hit.

Such a short distance …

The application of speed is completely different from that of Kuro. No, in terms of small-scale dodging, it is even faster than him.

This is not as simple as Observation Haki strength.

With this speed alone…

No wonder he was comparable to Roger and Whitebeard back then.

“No wonder he was comparable to Roger and Whitebeard back then.”

This brief moment of absent-mindedness allowed Ledfield to read his thoughts. He thrust his bat umbrella straight at Kuro and was stopped by his blade. The fingers of his other hand were clenched and a large number of earth spikes protruded from Ledfield.

“No.”

Bang!

In a flash, Ledfield quickly shattered the earth spikes and flashed to the back. He said lightly, “I can’t compare to them, I never have.”

“But you…”

Ledfield pointed his bat umbrella at Kuro and said in a loud voice, “It’s even worse! Today’s little ghosts are very arrogant. They don’t know how bold Roger and Whitebeard were and how powerful they were. They can easily gain the trust of their companions and trust in the heart and power of their companions. It’s not something you little ghosts can understand!”

“You’ve met Shiki, otherwise you wouldn’t have used ‘Thousand Cutting Valley’. That fool is only bold about his strength, and he can’t be compared to Roger and Whitebeard, but he is already a minority in the sea.”

“Ugly, too ugly!”

Ledfield’s face darkened. “The world is so ugly, no one has the right to get the throne at the end of the sea, but in this world, the throne is not allowed to be empty, so I will do it! I will replace Roger and Whitebeard and become the ultimate king!”

“Restore your youth, rule the sea, and become the strongest in the world!”

“Only in this way can you ugly guys see the situation clearly and know that the sea is not a game that you despicable people can participate in!”
