Pirate: My saber is a shining single scabbard

Lafitte looked at Hughes expectantly, waiting for his answer.

Ever since he learned about navigation, he has always had something he longed for in his heart.

Find a partner that he recognizes and has similar qualities.

Then they boarded their ship from the Western Sea, rushed onto the current that crossed the Red Continent, and entered the long-cherished great sea route.

What a romantic story this would be!

Ever since he was expelled or tired of the ordinary life of a security officer and traveled overseas, Baker Hughes was the only person he recognized and felt had similar character.

off the field.

Hughes met Lafitte's expectant eyes and knew that this guy was serious.

And this made him even more depressed.

Except for the brief confrontation when Ed was humiliated and teased last time and he suddenly made an angry attack, the two of them never had any other interactions.

Why did Lafitte act like he knew him well?

As for this guy's proposal...

That is impossible!

"Devil Sheriff" Lafitte, with a bounty of 4300 million, is the most vicious among the villains!

In Xihai now, there are only two people with a bounty of more than 4000 million, and Lafitte is one of them.

Its high bounty was piled on the corpses of countless civilians and marines.

While he was still a security officer, his reputation for brutality had already spread across the sea.

After being expelled, it was like a devil breaking free from its imprisonment.

Everywhere he went, he would kill without any reason or scruple as long as he got the mood.

And he will also show a happy smile while killing, making him a veritable smiling devil!

The thought of being in a boat with a guy who took pleasure in killing people made him panic.

Not to mention, this guy has a blood feud with his friend Ed!

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Hughes' mind...

"Sorry, Lafitte, you and I are definitely not the same person!"

Hughes responded solemnly and prepared for battle.

Lafitte was a little disappointed and glanced at another figure down the field.

"Because of Ed?"

Hughes did not answer directly and said coldly: "If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

"Hoo ho..."

Lafitte's laughter gradually turned sinister.

"If we cannot be partners, we will most likely become competitors in the future."

"And I see great potential in you. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble..."

"Let's get rid of you right here!"

When Hughes heard this, a powerful aura burst out from his body.

"Then come try it!"

swoosh~

Before Hughes could take action, a thick chain suddenly passed by him and struck Lafitte.

boom!

Lafitte jumped lightly to the tree next to him, and the branches under his feet suddenly broke.

"Ed, I didn't expect you to be able to endure it until now. You have made some progress in the past few days."

The frivolous words fell on Ed's ears, making him very angry.

He immediately took control of the chain and gave chase.

After being dodged by Lafitte, a second chain emerged from the palm of his left hand, and the blood-stained chain head roared towards Lafitte.

Next...

Ed controlled the two chains to attack alternately, destroying all the trees on the edge of the clearing every time he missed!

Because the enemy was moving quickly at a high altitude, Hughes did not have good anti-aircraft skills and was always watching and looking for the opponent's weaknesses.

At this time.

"Hoo ho..."

Lafitte stopped dodging, drew out his sword and charged it slightly before slashing at the chasing chain.

clang~

The chain was knocked away, and a trace of surprise flashed across Lafitte's face.

His slash could even cut through steel, but he didn't expect it to be unable to break the chains in front of him.

Lafitte became interested, moved his staff and sword back slightly, gathered strength for a moment and slashed downwards.

Suddenly, a solid white sword energy whizzed towards Ed who was on the field!

"not good!"

Ed was suddenly startled and wanted to control the chain to return to the defense.

But the white sword energy was too fast, and he had just eaten the Devil Fruit and was not yet very proficient in his abilities. He could only watch the white sword energy coming towards him!

Hughes, who had been highly focused, responded quickly.

"Shadow Slash"

Hughes shouted and suddenly waved the bloody epee!

In an instant, a crescent-shaped chop greeted the incoming white sword energy.

The color of this chopping wave is slightly different from before.

It is no longer a deep and weird black purple, but a deep purple with a hint of cyan.

This is the sword energy chopper that he created by merging his own rudimentary sword energy with the ghost energy of the single scabbard.

It's a bit more powerful than the original simple energy chop!

Sooner or later...

boom!

The purple chop wave collided with the white sword energy.

Suddenly, gusts of wind and waves spread!

The blue-violet chopping waves and the white sword energy consumed each other.

After a moment of stalemate, both sides dissipated almost simultaneously.

"Ah..."

Lafitte chuckled sinisterly, and Bai Jie's wings suddenly flapped, creating a white wave of air!

And his figure swept downwards at a very fast speed. During this period, he continued to charge up his swords with both hands, and his fierce momentum firmly locked onto Hughes.

"So fast!"

Hughes's pupils shrank, and he felt that the opponent's attack was definitely unusual.

"Single scabbard, use iron wall"

Hughes instantly conveyed his thoughts to the single scabbard, and the latter's sword suddenly flashed with metallic luster.

swoosh~

Lafitte arrived in front of Hughes in an instant, and slashed down with the sword in his hand with a cold light!

Hughes blocked the heavy sword in front of him with greatly enhanced defense.

clang~

There was an extremely harsh metal collision sound followed by an explosion!

Hughes gritted his teeth and firmly blocked the opponent's attack. The ground beneath his feet cracked like a spider web!

After absorbing and deflecting the enemy's attacks, Hughes fought back.

"Sound Slash"

Bursts of metallic sounds came from the scabbard of the single sword, instantly hitting Lafitte who was right in front of him.

"Humph..."

Lafitte suffered a sonic shock at close range and let out a muffled groan.

His mind was slightly lost, and the strength in his hands was also weakened.

Hughes took this opportunity to swing away the staff and sword in front of him, gripped the heavy sword tightly and slashed towards the opponent's vitals.

When Lafitte was in danger, he endured the pain of the sonic attack, flapped the wings behind his back and retreated quickly.

Puchi~

Although Lafitte avoided the vital point, a shallow blood mark was still scratched on his cheek.

Huhu~

Lafitte flapped his wings and hung in the air, wiping the blood off his face.

"Baker Hughes, is this strange move the same one that attacked me last time?"

"you guess?"

Lafitte chuckled, dodged and launched another attack.

Seeing this, Hughes grabbed his heavy sword and faced him.

"One sword style, continuous slashing"

Dangdang~

In an instant, the two of them collided continuously, causing bursts of roaring sounds.

"..."

On the other side, Ed watched the battle ahead in silence.

He wanted to help, but he knew that rushing forward recklessly would only hinder his friend.

tick tock~

Ed clenched his fists, and the wound in his palm was squeezed by his fingers, and blood continued to seep out and drip to the ground.

Lafitte was clearly his enemy that he wanted to kill with a thousand knives, but he could only stand by and do nothing.

At this moment...

He hated his own weakness so much!
