The Black Duke of the Pirate

Chapter 277 277. The Olive Branch

There were three identical voices again, and Bender immediately understood that the giant sword seemed to be unable to withstand the force of its claws, and it was about to break apart.

But what shocked him was how powerful this guy was, how terrifying it was to be able to crush steel with just five fingers.

Bender couldn't imagine how this abnormal strength was cultivated, but he knew that he would never be able to continue the competition. At this time, the giant sword was pinched by Reinhardt with one hand, even if it only stopped for less than a second. , was enough to break his habit of chopping.

The skill of Bender's bursting whirling sword is to continuously make the giant sword whirl, so in the process of whirling, he will take advantage of the trend and cut the enemy. At the same time, he must not affect the whirling rhythm and trajectory of the giant sword, otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted. It is a very difficult swordsmanship technique.

Even if the Explosive Whirling Sword only slashed once, even if the accumulated strength was in vain, the giant sword must be forcibly withdrawn at this time.

In just half a second, Bender immediately made a decision, so he hurriedly withdrew the giant sword, ignoring whether he could continue the skill of turning the giant sword. If the blade was destroyed, the only combat method he relied on would be will cease to exist.

But before he could leave in time, he heard a crisp sound that completely chilled his heart.

Ka... The two-meter-long broad sword suddenly shattered and scattered on the ground.

Bender was shaken all over, and couldn't bear the attack of this force any longer, his body flew upside down, and blood flowed out from his right wrist and mouth.

"No matter how hard steel is, it can be easily crushed like an egg in my hands."

Bender saw the steel fragments falling on the ground, those cracks were very irregular, is this just the result of his claw strength?
It's unbelievable.

Reinhardt threw the broken iron in his hand on the ground. He saw Bender's expression was a little dull, and only the hilt was left in his right hand.

"Do you want to continue?" Reinhardt asked with a smile, he didn't feel too much pressure in the face of the violent Bender.

Bender was slightly taken aback, and looked up at Reinhardt. Although he didn't want to admit defeat, it turned out that the opponent didn't have all his strength at all... No, maybe a tenth of his strength was not used.

Being defeated so easily would inevitably make Bender feel a great sense of loss, but at this moment he fully understood in his heart that the gap between the two was far, far greater than he imagined.

So he shook his head: "I lost sharply, but you won easily. This is a battle that was doomed from the beginning, and there is no need to continue it now. If I fight it down, it will only make me die in more humiliation. "

"You are better than most people if you can recognize and face all these things bravely." Reinhardt looked at him and said, "Only when people admit their own weakness can they have a stronger motivation to pursue strength."

Hearing this sentence, Bender's heart was shocked, and he threw away the hilt in his hand, so he got up and took a few steps forward: "I hope I can die like a warrior."

He stared at Reinhardt, as if he wanted to see the real strength of this guy thoroughly.

But Reinhardt's eyes couldn't see anything at all.

"Are you so eager to die?"

Bender was slightly startled, and heard another sentence in his ear,

"Don't you want to continue pursuing stronger power?"

what?
He didn't seem to hear clearly, he was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said in his mouth, he didn't react until he finished speaking.

"You...you won't kill me?"

"Killing you won't do me any good, but I will lose a talent for nothing." Reinhardt said with a smile, "As the strongest person on a remote island in the East China Sea, although your strength is not enough at all, you are better than your youthful potential and Your fruit ability."

His age may be less than 25 years old. Through the contact just now, Reinhardt found that the potential is not bad, but in the world of Pirates, a person's real peak is at the age of 40, and the top powerhouses in the world are at the age of 40. Time is the most powerful time in life, so Bender in front of him still has the value of training.

In addition, Bender's fruit ability is what he likes the most, and it must be emotional fruit initially.

Emotions, on the surface, are the external expression of a person's inner world, including body, movement, language, voice, attitude, and emotions, etc. Deep down, it is thinking, and changes in thinking affect physiological As with the state of mind, this can be an objective change that is visible to the naked eye, or it can be a spiritual change that is unscientific and can only be felt with the heart.

So this is a devil fruit with great potential.

Hearing that Reinhardt didn't want to kill himself, he relaxed this time, and then heard the fruit ability in his mouth, so he asked in surprise, "You...do you know what kind of devil fruit this is?"

After eating this devil fruit, although he was able to let himself enter a weird state of thinking at will, he has never figured out what kind of devil fruit ability it is.

"This is an emotional fruit. As long as it is developed properly, it can control all kinds of emotional abilities, both positive and negative." Reinhardt said the guess in his heart.

"Emotional fruit..." Bender muttered to himself, remembering that when using this ability, all kinds of negative emotions flooded into his head crazily, and this negative emotion completely overwhelmed all external thoughts. It is blocked, so at the beginning, I would lose my sanity every time, until recently I gradually mastered this ability, and was able to retain part of my sanity in the battle.

"Want to become stronger?" Reinhardt asked again.

"I...Of course I want to!" Bender's voice trembled a little, and his heart was very excited. He yearned for power all the time. The ten years of slavery from a boy to 15 years old made him understand that only with strong strength can the world be powerful. can really survive.

Now, facing the olive branch offered by this powerful man in front of him, how could he refuse? It was a golden opportunity, and he was too late to be happy.

"Join my camp, I will provide you with the best cultivation method and assist you in developing your emotional fruit ability."

Listening to Reinhardt's words, Bender nodded fiercely.

"But my request is your loyalty, always loyal."

The last sentence was very indifferent, and Bender was shocked when he heard it, so he fell silent. If he wants to gain power, he has to give up something. Loyalty is not a problem for Bender, but he can't see so far if he is loyal forever. .

Seeing Bender's silence, Reinhardt didn't rush to urge him, but waited quietly.

After about a minute, he saw that Bender seemed to be a bit decisive, so he asked, "Tell me... your final choice!"
