Pirate: I only come here for three things!

In the naval compound, Yihe raised his sword.

"It can be seen that you are actually quite talented in kendo, but unfortunately, Sengoku, Garp, Zefa... none of them can use swords. If you want to have professional kendo training, one is to go to Wano Country, and the other is They are heading to the Kingdom of Flowers. Both of them are proficient forces that have not joined the World Government."

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the Kingdom of Waka. The Kingdom of Flowers is the birthplace of the Eight Treasures Navy in the future, which is also the birthplace of Lao Cai. Behind that powerful army is a powerful country. Although the navy under the World Government is already the only force in the world. But the military strength of the kingdoms was not all weakened by this.

"It doesn't matter, the navy itself is more important than kendo. If there are no kendo masters in the navy, I will be the first." Gion, who was 15 years old at the time, was full of fighting spirit. In her eyes, a lieutenant general is an easy task, a general can become a general if he has the skills, and a marshal can become a marshal if he waits for a long time. It is the time when the young girl reaches the peak of ambition.

"It's okay, Gion. You can learn from your sister He's skills. By the way, when will you call me brother?" Garp smiled and ate senbei aside. There was no place to sit in the small open space. Fortunately, he just He ate while standing and made loud noises while eating.

"Shut up. I already told you that she calls me sister because of the seniority in the family. If you continue to cause trouble here, you won't be able to drink my tea!"

Garp put his left hand on his lips and pulled them to the right, completely closing his mouth.

"Are you ready?" Tsuru asked Gion.

Gion took a deep breath and nodded, "Please give me some advice!"

He shouted loudly and attacked, with rapid slashes that made Gion's arms numb. It was not easy for her to receive the violent blows, almost every blow was forced, and the last one almost flew out of her hand.

Although Gion managed to hold the knife firmly in the end, the crane's blade still penetrated the defense and pressed against her neck.

"If I were the enemy, you would be dead." Crane took back the sword in his hand.

"Some people say that the focus of kendo lies in pace, posture, and moves. You have to practice diligently and consistently for twenty years before you can become famous. But for you now and for your future, twenty years is too long. The time I have to teach you this time is only about two or three hours, so I will keep everything simple in this teaching."

"I asked you to read "Sword Theory" before, have you read it?"

Gion nodded.

Sword Theory was written by Shigetsuki Ryoma, a must-read bible for swordsmen.

"Do you think the Theory of Swords or the Naval Drill Manual is more important?"

"Naval Drill Manual" is the masterpiece of Gang Gukong. It talks about the knowledge of training soldiers. It is one of the few military books in the world.

"Of course Marshal Kong's book is more important. The art of war comes first, and the swordsmanship comes second."

Swordsmanship and technique are the means to win, and the art of war is the foundation for teaching how to win.

"Yes." He nodded with satisfaction. "I will only teach you a little bit today, just watch it."

Crane holds the sword in front of him and points forward. This is the starting position recorded in the sword theory. And the subsequent changes of moves, whether raising the sword straight down or slashing diagonally, are all subsequent changes.

"When two people are facing each other, what is most important?"

Gion couldn't answer.

"It's an opportunity. And what is an opportunity?"

"In other words, strike first?"

Crane shook his head.

"Then you attack first, ah what, move quickly." Gion held his breath and stared at the crane. Her whole body tensed up, thinking about what angle, what strength, and how fast to strike with the knife.

The situation was deadlocked for about five seconds. Gion stepped forward to break the deadlock, and she slashed at He's face with a knife.

Garp exclaimed, Gion's talent is indeed very good.

Her head exploded, and the bamboo knife in the crane's hand hit her in the head.

"First, first." He moved the bamboo knife away from Gion's head, which was already filled with tears.

"In a battle, everyone wants to seize the initiative, and this is the priority. But we can be better than the opponent, that is, count one step more than the opponent. At the moment when the opponent raises his sword or takes a step, we can clearly see the opponent's intention to strike first. Then attack the opponent first."

"If you are lucky enough to encounter a kendo match, then you will realize how boring it is. The two sides have already started fighting before the sword is drawn, observing, feinting, feinting, seeing through... and the first is the first, It just relies on your observation, foreknowledge, combat experience, and intuition."

"Gion, try to see through, see through, and try to feint and deceive. This is not the art of swordsmanship, but the art of war. It is something more magical than anything else."

………………

"How about it? According to my proposal, it is a perfect choice for both of us now." Shuangyue Ruyue tried to persuade both parties to take a step back. "You return the sword in your hand to me, and I will let you live. From now on, the two of us will never be in conflict with each other."

"I refuse." Gion couldn't give up the sword in her hand. Blood basically blurred half of her face. The originally cute and athletic girl was now a man-eating ferocious beast.

"That's really, really a pity." He set up his posture again, which meant that both sides were destined to decide life and death.

Later, Shuangyue Ruyue took the lead in taking the sword. Gion did a backflip, and the enemy's knife scraped her back with a sound. If she were just a little bit late, a piece of her flesh would be cut off.

She made a desperate move, and before the enemy turned from a horizontal slash to a downward slash, the blade in her hand accurately hit Shuangyue Ruyue's knife-holding hand, and then spattered a series of sparks.

"Oh, it's just a little bit close. What a pity." He had protective gloves wrapped around his hands. When she attacked, she used Armament Haki to enhance its strength.

She ignored it and attacked again, getting faster and faster even though she had been fighting for so long. However, this time the enemy even caught the opportunity to counterattack between the first sword and the second sword. In an instant, Shuangyue Ruyue's sword hit the sword's guard, which was wrapped in armed domineering energy.

"Good defense." He placed himself in the strong position and continued his bad mouth problem. "If it were a man, I might accept you as my disciple now, but it's a pity that it's a woman."

He just shook his head.

Gion suddenly launched another attack.

At the same moment, a strong wind roared from the sea and rolled up the girl's hair.

Amidst the collision, Shuangyue Ruyue saw something crossing his field of vision.

It seems like a broken knife?

The girl used non-attack this time. And the tempura in his hand broke.

The opportunity to counterattack was a loophole deliberately given by Gion. All the actions of the enemy behind her were based on the pre-designed route in her mind.

The girl's knife was about to be put on his neck.

There was a gunshot and Gion fell to the ground.

Shuangyue Ruyue's face was gloomy. There was no doubt that he had failed. With a black gun, the last thug sent by John, Elk, who had been ambushing around, appeared from the darkness.

He is a person with abilities who ate the Silence Fruit. It can be said that he has nothing to do with deer at all. Like Dead Eye, he is a master of blackmail. Since there were only a few suitable points, luckily I let Dead Eye do his best. Unexpectedly, Dead Eye's house was robbed, and the man on top kept staring. Fortunately, he managed to sneak to the bottom.

In the subsequent battle, Shuangyue Ruyue said hello in advance, so he never took action.

"Did it interrupt your duel?" He asked Shuangyue Ruyue with a smile.

"Asking knowingly." Shuangyue Ruyue snorted coldly. "Prepare to transfer, when will your boss come?"

"It should have already set off. If there are no deviations, it will arrive in two minutes."

"Two minutes is enough to deal with you first." A fourth voice appeared.

Kei looked at the two intruders in front of him indifferently.

In the first second, the elk prepared to aim at Kei with his gun, but Kei had already appeared in front of Shigetsuki Kisaragi.

The next second, the bullet came out of the barrel, and at the same time the swordsman swung his broken sword towards Kei. Both of them flicked a little spark out of Kei.

In the third second, Kei punched, but Kisaragi blocked it with a broken knife. The broken knife deformed, and he was sent flying out. He lost his human shape and fell into the sea.

In the fourth second, John's thug was about to turn around and run away, but Gui choked him from behind.

At the fifth second, there was a click and the neck was broken. This man is already a corpse.

"You came so slowly." Friedrich dragged the sika deer, the headless part, towards the two of them.

"Kyu, Friedrich..." Gion was shot in the abdomen at this time, and the bullet wrapped around Haki and almost penetrated her entire body.

"Duanmu, he's dead. And the big pirate Captain John is going to attack here soon."

"I'm sorry..." She almost had no strength to speak.

"You should apologize, but not for this." Kennedy looked coldly at Gion who fell to the ground.

He also walked out from his safe position, ready to put an end to this farce.

"Hey, Kennedy, what are you talking about? My subordinates clearly..."

"Kyu! Don't let me look down on you! Haven't you noticed yet? Or do you have to wait for Friedrich to laugh at you?"

He pointed his civilized staff at Gion.

"Gion of the Navy, can you explain why you didn't collect the garbage at the bottom of the cabin with Kake and the others?"

"During the battle just now, why weren't you too worried that Duanmu would be killed by a black gun?"

"Or I'll keep it short."

"Gion, where did you learn about Captain John's three orders? And the second order was to capture Cyborg Duanmu alive? Answer me?"

Gion remained silent.

"What an unexpected big fish, Kei. This guy belongs to me now, no problem."

"But Captain John is coming soon, and the battle is about to--"

Kennedy interrupted.

"No, Captain John will not come. This matter is all over. And our focus next is how to pry out from her mouth the person behind the scenes in our fleet, the one who is hidden among us. Prime culprit."

"He controlled everything."

"It was he who lured Captain John into attacking. He was the spy on our ship."

"It's him, ready to kill Amiya."

"It's him. He is planning to let everyone on this journey die at the bottom of the sea."

"Gui, Friedrich, I swear to make him pay the price."

Kennedy put all the blame on the killer.

"What's your answer?"

"Yes, my lord."

Now he had every reason to search, of all people, and find the hired killer. And the killer must have now received the wrong message that the bear had killed Amiya.

Everything that happens next is determined.

On the other side, Captain John's phone bug rang five minutes ago.

Captain John answered the phone.

The person who was talking to him was the recording phone bug that Duanmu had prepared in advance.

"Duanmu, what do you mean by calling?"

"There is a mistake in the plan, Wang Zhi is coming." The pre-prepared recording sounded.

"Huh? Why did he come?"

"Kennedy's enemies are not just my family, others have taken action. And you must retreat now, John. I don't think you are inferior to Wang Zhi, but you have lost the opportunity in this battle. In addition, the three parties If we meet him, do you think Wang Zhi will target you more, or is he just a prey of Kennedy?"

"But I have already invested so much money in the early stage..."

"Isn't it just a group of mercenaries? If you had followed my plan strictly, you would have just killed a bunch of irrelevant guys. At this time, you can say that you have almost no losses."

Of course, John couldn't say that he added any spice to the action.

"Moreover, the most important transaction is that I tell you the whereabouts of one of the four tablets heading to the Final Island. It doesn't matter if I tell you now."

Just as John was about to ask a question, the voice from the other side continued.

"I know that you are not confident about my clues and even want to take me as a hostage. This is actually understandable. But now I am not on the ship in front of you."

What do you mean?

"In other words, have I really been on this ship? John, you can't play with me, and you are sure of it. And I know that we have been working together for so long, and we are far from achieving true mutual trust. . But I will give you a very simple way to falsify my information."

"One of the four historical tablets is in the hands of the current Big Mom Pirates, Charlotte Lingling."

"It's easy to confirm whether the historical inscription is there. You just need to ask to attend her tea party. If it were you, she would definitely refuse, or change the venue of the banquet to a location other than the Cake Castle. After all, the historical inscription is over there."

What kind of verification method is this?

John frowned.

"What if it's because there are other things there that you don't want me to get close to?"

"If what you are talking about really exists, then its value is almost the same as the value of four historical inscriptions, isn't it?"

"John, if you stop now, the Navy will only be able to attack the Wangzhi Pirates who offended them later, and all the bastard things you did before will be blamed on him. In this way, you will also attack your boss. opponent."

"But there is still a problem. How do I know that the Wangzhi Pirates will come to take the blame for me?"

John already had the intention of retreating.

"He came, and I also have a share of the credit."

After the recording was played, the person on the other end simply hung up the phone.

At this time, Duanmu was already thousands of miles away.
