One Piece: Free Ronin

Flo, who had been in a daze all morning, woke up as Rocks approached.

He turned his somewhat stiff neck, stood up from the ground, and moved his body.

Locks walked leisurely to the wooden pier and said with a smile: "Mou hahaha, kid. It looks like you are recovering well?"

"Ah, I recovered early in the morning. I was thinking about going to sea for a while."

Rocks sat down cross-legged, waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "Mou hahaha, what's the point of thinking about this? Just build a small wooden boat and leave. Leave everything else to fate. The sea will take you to where you should be. It’s a place to go.”

Flo rolled her eyes when she heard this.

He thought to himself: "Anyone with a D in their name is a rough and tumble guy..."

But he said: "Well, I mainly think that maybe I should concentrate on practicing swordsmanship. The basic sword moves you taught me are really not enough. And I haven't touched a real sword yet. .Although I have broken more than a dozen wooden swords, I always feel like something is missing."

"Ah, well, your talent in swordsmanship is quite good, and your physical foundation has almost been laid. It's really time to practice your swordsmanship. After all, the foundation has been there for a long time, Mou hahaha, the rest is You have to figure it out on your own. As for the sword, I do have one. It is an old friend who has followed me for many years. I just don’t know if you can control it..." Rocks said as he moved toward him. Went to the wooden house.

Soon he came out with a Japanese-style sword that measured nearly one meter in length.

The shape of the knife seemed extremely plain to Flo.

The dark oval scabbard is fixed with a black silk thread near the hilt, a bronze round blade with a moire pattern, and the hilt is wrapped with a rope woven with red thin threads.

Rocks put the knife on his shoulder, came to Flo, sat cross-legged, and placed the knife between his knees. He stroked the blade with a melancholy expression and sighed lightly: "This is my old buddy. , the name of the sword is "Tianzhan". When I first got it, it was already an extremely evil demon sword. It followed me to fight on the sea for many years, killing countless people... Mouhahaha. Even though it looks ordinary, , but if a weak-minded person even just holds it, his mind may be taken away in an instant and he will become a puppet who only knows killing, until all the blood and essence in his body becomes the nourishment of the knife..."

"Logically speaking, you are not qualified to own it yet...but, I do have an obligation to find the next owner who can control it..."

With that said, he held the knife in his hands and handed it to Flo solemnly.

Then he said: "During this period, you should feel the will contained in Tian Zhan. It is best not to rush to pull it out before you are really ready. The little domineering energy in you is not enough for it to absorb." Yeah. Mou hahaha. If you still can't control it in the end, just help me find a good owner for it... It would be a pity if it was buried."

Flo quickly knelt on the ground and took it solemnly.

As soon as he picked up the knife, Flo felt a dark and sharp aura through the scabbard.

The knife that looked ordinary in Locks's hand seemed to come to life again in Flo's hand, and the desire to pull it out kept hitting his mind.

Even though he was so determined, he almost fell into the path of this demonic knife. When his hand was about to touch the handle of the knife, he saw Sebaqi starting to give a crazy warning, and he suddenly woke up.

He looked up at Rocks in surprise.

There was indeed a look of gloating on his face.

"Mou hahaha, kid. He actually resisted Tianzhan's temptation at the last moment. How about it? That feeling of being bewitched? Isn't it awesome? Mou hahaha, he is my old friend who has been with me for decades. Ah, it’s very dangerous if you’re not careful.”

Flo wiped the cold sweat from his head and looked at the demon knife in his hand in surprise. He murmured: "It's really powerful. I almost lost my mind... By the way, what would have happened if I had held it just now?"

Locks replied in a wicked way: "In this bewitched state, I think your domineering energy will be sucked away to some extent. Who knows, Mou hahaha, but you can try again."

"Well... let's talk about it later. It seems that I have to find a way to suppress its bewitching thoughts first. I need to calm it down first..."

As he spoke, Flo immediately cheered up, and released his domineering aura instantly, aiming at the demonic sword in his hand.

He shouted: "Quiet! If you don't stop bewitching me, you can stay here with my master and take care of him in old age! Never think of being born again!"

As if he felt the powerful momentum in Flo's body, the voice in Flo's mind that constantly tempted him to draw the sword gradually became quieter and finally calmed down.

I felt the urge to draw the knife in my mind getting smaller and smaller, and slowly returned to normal.

Flo couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Then he grinned and said: "Haha, I can still suppress it!"

Looking at Flo's actions, Locks smiled slightly and said: "Mou hahaha, kid. It's too early to talk about suppression at this time. My old buddy is not that easy to deal with...and What you did just now might make it more interested in you. Mou hahaha."

Hearing this, Flo lowered his head and gently stroked the dark and smooth scabbard, and said with a smile: "Uh, you feel the domineering power on me and think it's delicious? But you chose to hibernate first and wait until I put down my guard. Are you going to take action? Such spirituality is really terrifying. Hahahaha, Tianzhan!"

"But, I am also very interested in you now..."

Seeing this, Locks stood up, patted his butt and said, "Then I'll leave my old friend to you. If you can control it, don't let it be humiliated outside, kid."

Hearing the reluctance in Rox's tone, Flo did not refuse in a pretentious manner, but just nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, teacher! In the future, your and Tianzhan's names will definitely resound throughout the sea. of!"

"Mou hahaha, then I'll be waiting for your good news. If you're ready, you can go to sea. There's no need to inform me anymore. I've been feeling a little itchy lately. I'm going to play with those useless big guys. ."

Then he handed Flo a piece of white paper with rocks written on the upper right corner.

Then he said: "This is my life card, remember to promise me things, Mou hahaha!"

Then Rocks waved his hand and walked towards the jungle without looking back...

Carefully keep Rocks' life card.

He stared blankly at Rox's tall back that was drifting away.

Thinking about it, maybe this is his way of saying goodbye?

He's really handsome!

So he didn't behave like a child, and kept kneeling, bent down deeply, and knocked his head heavily on the ground, making a dull sound. without saying a word...

When the sound of Rocks' footsteps gradually faded away, he straightened up, stroked Tianzhan, and sighed softly: "Your old friend has already said goodbye, I guess you can feel it, right?"

I felt the scabbard shake slightly. A feeling of impatience suddenly emerged in my mind.

Flo was slightly startled, but immediately laughed again and said: "Hahaha, you two are quite similar. I guess you don't want his reputation to be shamed! Then you have to cooperate with me and don't cause trouble. ah..."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the edge of the wooden pier.

Sit cross-legged, put Tianzhan on your lap, and support your knees with both hands.

Staring at the calm lake surface, watching the ripples blown by the wind from time to time.

Then he turned around and looked around, saw the path he ran out of, and smiled softly...

He said to himself: "Time really flies by. But it's not the time to sigh about this yet..."

He picked up Tian Zhan with his left hand and held it flat in front of him.

Staring at it solemnly, his right hand slowly grasped the hilt of the sword.

"Now it's time to see what kind of demon sword you are."

Hold the handle of the knife with your right hand and pull it hard...

The moment he saw the Tianzhan blade, Flo knew that it must be a "black sword".

The kind of black that only appears when covered with armament-colored Haki appears so naturally on Tianzhan's blade.

I haven't had time to take a closer look at the chaotic T-shaped pattern on the blade...

Flo suddenly felt the armed domineering energy in his body being released uncontrollably, and it surged towards his right arm and was continuously absorbed by Tianzhan.

In the perception of seeing and hearing, Tianzhan's aura also surged.

The domineering energy in his body disappeared very quickly, and after a while, Flo's entire body became thinner.

As Flo's right hand suddenly rose uncontrollably, and then swung down heavily, a bloody sword flashed across it.

A half-moon-shaped black slash suddenly appeared in front of him, and it hit the water surface heavily. A water wall a hundred meters wide and dozens of meters high slowly formed. When the slash disappeared, it fell back to the water surface heavily. , there was a loud bang, and suddenly the entire lake was turbulent, and Flo's body was wet by the waves caused by the impact just now.

I was stunned after watching the scene just now.

His right hand was still tightly holding the handle of Tianzhan's sword, staring at its pitch-black blade with a somewhat crazy expression.

He groaned: "It must have been a sword attack containing my domineering energy just now. It was really powerful..."

He noticed that Tian Zhan was still absorbing his domineering energy without restraint.

Flo suddenly felt a surge of energy all over his body, and his domineering aura was released.

With a ferocious look on his face, he gritted his teeth and yelled, "Asshole, enough is enough! Give it back to me!"

Holding the hilt of the sword tightly, his already somewhat thin arms were still strong.

It seemed as if he understood Flo's words.

The domineering energy continued to flow from Tian Zhan into Flo's body.

It wasn't until Tian Zhan's aura completely silenced that it came to an end.

He waved the knife in his hand casually, feeling the condition of his body...

Some people had a headache and found that nearly a quarter of the domineering energy in their bodies had been lost. He thought to himself: "The price is too high..."

Although I personally experienced a slashing attack containing domineering power, my domineering power is not as easy to recover as my physical strength.

He stared at Tianzhan's pitch-black sword with a solemn expression.

Silently thinking: "It seems that I am really not qualified to control you now, I am still too weak."

He clenched his fists hard.

"However, the future is long, hehe. Your presence can just make my domineering more condensed. The domineering power that is lost so easily now is too weak... Hahaha, I still have to thank you."

He slowly put the knife back into its sheath and struggled to stand up, staggering a little.

He staggered and barely managed to steady his body.

He breathed out softly and said with a wry smile: "It's not okay to be in this state after the battle at sea..."

He stuck the knife into his waist and touched his flat belly.

He scratched his head and said, "This consumes a lot of food..."

He muttered and went straight into the dense forest to hunt.
