Pirate: Hades! ( One Piece)

Chapter 310: Redfield vs. Genryusai Shigekuni

Next was the battle between Genryusai Shigekuni and John.

The outcome did not surprise anyone.

Even Wang Zhi had been defeated, so Captain John, whose strength was similar to his, naturally couldn't escape the destiny of being defeated.

However, with Roger and Redfield's performances, John wouldn't surrender easily.

At the very least, he couldn't end the battle too early, or where would his dignity be?

The great battle, which lasted for four days, finally came to an end, with Genryusai Shigekuni emerging as the final victor.

After multiple rounds of selection, the sword tournament finally reached its final moment.

"What an interesting journey."

Although defeated, Bylear felt no disappointment in his heart.

Reaching the Top 8 had already met his psychological expectation.

Compared to the results, the gain along the way was the most important.

Putting down the burden of battle, sitting in the Audience Stands, Bylear felt very relaxed at this moment.

"Mihawk, you can come for some training in the next session.

The third sword tournament will be your true stage."

Looking at his spirited apprentice, with his serious gaze, he felt a bit of cuteness, and reached out to ruffle his short black hair.

The sword tournament had continued until now.

Just before this, the Pluto Pirates had publicly announced that they would hold the second sword tournament twelve years later, in Sea Calendar 1499.

Compared to previous rumors, such a public announcement was clearly more exciting.

Of course, the most important thing was the upcoming final showdown.

The World's Strongest Swordsman would be born after this battle.

The entire World was watching this battle through live streaming.

Even in the most remote areas, after a long period of dissemination, intelligence about this battle had been received.

Marine Headquarters, Holy Land Mariejois, various Factions on The Great Sea, Lone Wolves, and especially the Swordsman community.

This battle would give birth to a legend among Swordsmen, the "World's Strongest Swordsman".

So!

Who would it be?

"The Lone Red" Baron Omatsuri Redfield?

Or Genryusai Shigekuni?

Roar of cheers.

.

.

Amidst the endless cheers, the two stepped onto the Arena stage.

Under such an atmosphere, both Redfield and Genryusai Shigekuni felt an unprecedented surge of excitement in their hearts!

Redfield took off his blood-colored cloak, leaving him in a red shirt.

Genryusai Shigekuni likewise cast off his black haori, the garment hanging at his waist, revealing his strong physique covered in scars.

"Kid, this old man has taken a liking to that Shura.

Give this old man some dignity."

Genryusai Shigekuni stared intently at Redfield, grinning as he spoke.

"No, no."

Láidé shook his head slightly, then smiled.

"Once I get Shura, I'll give it to you.

No need for the elder to trouble himself."

"Hahahaha!

Now this is exciting."

Hades and the others stared intently at the two, bursting into laughter.

The two were full of tension from the start, filling everyone with expectation for the upcoming battle.

Láidé knew clearly in his heart that relying solely on swordsmanship, he was no match for such an old Monster.

And in terms of physical ability, this "Elder" had also reached the peak.

What he could rely on was still his Observation Haki.

Similarly, Genryusai Shigekuni also knew this guy was difficult to deal with, especially that strange Observation Haki that could see through everything.

If he couldn't find a way to deal with it, even with an advantage in overall strength, he might ultimately be defeated.

He highly valued reputation and dignity.

Since he had come out of seclusion, what was the point of getting second place?

Moreover, he didn't want to lose to a young junior.

Although the proud Láidé didn't particularly care about the title of World's Strongest Swordsman.

Having reached this point, he would definitely go all out.

Electricity sparked in the void, and two terrifying force fields collided.

Láidé had evolved.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Redfield had exhibited a complete Conqueror's Domain.

It should be known that ten days ago, Láidé's Conqueror's Domain was merely an embryonic form.

And the strength exhibited by Genryusai Shigekuni was even more terrifying.

Making everyone's expressions change.

The air became incredibly hot and distorted, almost making Genryusai Shigekuni's figure invisible.

The clouds in the Sky had disappeared at some point.

In the blink of an eye, the sun shone brightly.

The warm light seemed to become incredibly scorching, making people sweat profusely as if they were in the height of summer.

That terrifying aura, combining sword intent and Conqueror's Domain, would cause even the outstanding individuals among the Marine Vice Admirals to collapse in shock before him.

Even stronger Monsters would be unable to move, finding it difficult to resist.

Such a Conqueror's Domain was unprecedented, completely comparable to Rocks D.

Xebec.

If he wished, his aura alone could envelop the entire Paros Island and the surrounding Sea Area.

The current Genryusai Shigekuni was entirely like an active volcano about to erupt, as if he would destroy everything in the next moment.

In terms of aura, Láidé was undoubtedly under suppression.

While both possessed Conqueror's Domain, Genryusai Shigekuni was clearly much stronger.

"Crimson Harvest!"

"Rising Sun Blade!"

A startling thunderbolt descended from the Sky, directly striking the center of the Arena.

And in the center of the Arena, it was precisely where Redfield's and Genryusai Shigekuni's two swords clashed.

This was like a battle horn.

Both seemed to regard the other as a mortal enemy, unleashing extreme suppression from the very first move.

Streaks of blood-red figures surrounded Genryusai Shigekuni.

Every second, Redfield could unleash hundreds of sword strikes, directly targeting Genryusai Shigekuni's vital points.

Genryusai Shigekuni also didn't show weakness, moving in small ranges, combining his body and sword.

His seemingly slow actions perfectly dodged or blocked Redfield's attacks.

The movements of the two were dazzling.

Redfield was clearly faster, but speed didn't guarantee victory.

Genryusai Shigekuni, striking after, could always block the attacks in a relaxed manner.

One fast, one slow; one moving, one still.

This was a visual feast.

As the battle continued, Redfield clearly felt how difficult Genryusai Shigekuni was to deal with.

Physically, Genryusai Shigekuni held a slight advantage.

The still young Redfield was only forty years old now, not yet having grown to his peak.

In another ten years, surpassing Genryusai Shigekuni physically wouldn't be difficult.

Also a Monster, Redfield had the added boost of his Vampire Bloodline.

Genryusai Shigekuni, who had already noticed this, strictly guarded his mind.

Although he didn't have talent in Observation Haki like Roger, nor the special Ability of Hearing the Voice of All Things.

However, in terms of resistance to Mind Reading Art, Genryusai Shigekuni was not much weaker than Roger.

In terms of cultivating the mind, Genryusai Shigekuni was clearly much stronger than Roger.

But ultimately, he couldn't compare to Roger.

For Redfield, the breakthrough point to defeat Genryusai Shigekuni was still in the area of Mind Reading Art.

This would undoubtedly be another prolonged battle.

Genryusai Shigekuni's overall strength was stronger.

However, his resistance to Mind Reading Art was slightly weaker, and he didn't have the Ability to influence the environment with Hearing the Voice of All Things.

Who the final victor would be was still an unknown.
