Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy
Chapter 395 7 Wuhai Meeting
"Mr. Yisheng, thank you very much for what happened today."
Walking into the side hall that was temporarily transformed into a training room, Skyler sincerely expressed his gratitude to Yisheng, waved his hand and said, "I just don't want to see these dirty things anymore.
Unexpectedly, I have already lost my eyes, but all kinds of filth and sin are still lingering in front of my eyes. I couldn't help but move my hands, hoping that it would not make it difficult for you, Lieutenant General Skyler. "
After finishing his humble words, Seng Guo's eyes sparkled, like an old gourmet meeting delicious food, or like an old wolf meeting his little sister. The longing in his eyes could even be seen by a blind person.
"This is...Marshal of the Warring States Period?"
Isheng Yisheng asked Seng Guo, who nodded, and then reacted belatedly and said, "That's right, I am! Ever since I heard about Mr. Yisheng's past, I have been looking for an opportunity to communicate with you.
I just have the opportunity now. I hope Mr. Yisheng can appreciate me at the dinner tonight. "
Sengoku did want to communicate with Yisheng after hearing about Yisheng's past, but... that was what happened a few minutes ago. After all, Sengoku's understanding of Yisheng in the past was just that he was a Vegapunk. Just a guard.
Warring States was a master of the art of speaking. After listening to Warring States words throughout his life, he also heard that his words were indeed full of sincerity and were not polite.
So, Yisheng nodded and said: "Well, you are all the pillars in maintaining the order of the sea. It is an honor for me to make friends with you."
The joy on Zeng Guo's face could not be suppressed at all. It was obvious that he had a good impression of the navy throughout his life. He glanced at Skyler with satisfaction and knew that Skyler had contributed a lot to his having such a sense for the navy in his life.
"Then we won't go to the banquet hall tonight. Nurkic, you ask those people to bring the drinks and food. We will have a banquet here, and then wait for the CP to come and apologize."
Skyler said to Nurkic. Nurkic saw the smiles on several people's faces and knew that his lifelong shot did not cause trouble to the Navy, and even... was of great benefit.
He also became happy. After all he had been worried all afternoon, he walked towards the banquet hall with brisk steps.
Skyler looked at Hamilton and said: "Hamilton, please calculate the losses that our Zhanye detachment has suffered. We will not take a single point from Pele that does not belong to us, but we will not tolerate even one point. Pele deserves his share.”
"Yes, sir!"
Hamilton was also smiling, and his mind immediately thought of the military budget of the entire CP agency, as well as the budget available to each department.
When the dinner arrived, people from various CP departments were sent to... "discuss compensation." Hamilton didn't even eat the dinner and took those people directly to another conference room to discuss.
At the same time, an official from the World Government also came this way. Skyler took a look and found that he was not a stranger, but someone he had met four years ago...
Schuyler suddenly forgot the official's name, and the official said very sensibly: "My lord, McKinsey, at the Shichibukai Conference four years ago, I was honored to be the secretary of Lieutenant General Skyler. It's a great honor to meet again."
"Mai, of course I know him."
Seeing the smile on McKinsey's face, Skyler did not show any shame and asked with a smile: "Let's sit down and party together. I think your gift is enough for you to get a seat."
McKenzie smiled and nodded, handed the document bag in his hand to Skyler, and then sat down at the dining table of the soldiers next to him very sensibly.
Skyler opened the document bag and found three amnesty orders inside. After flipping through it with a smile, Skyler circulated it to Seng Guo and others, and then all four of them had smiles on their faces.
Ace, who was sitting with Skyler and Lieutenant General Garp, saw his name and asked, "Auntie, what is that?"
"Well...it's your acceptance letter into the Navy."
Skyler did not explain directly. After all, the pardon itself was a joke in her opinion. She just had to get it for the sake of Ace and Luffy's children.
Ace nodded. He knew that it was definitely not a navy acceptance letter. After all, Luo didn't have such a thing at the time, but he was too sensible to ask. He understood that for his elders, it was a good thing.
And that's enough.
Moreover, isn't the navy acceptance letter exactly what he wants?
Not long after the banquet started, the officers of several other naval detachments not far away heard about it and rushed here. Only Karp and Skyler from the New World branch came to attend the world meeting.
The others are all base commanders or detachment commanders of the branches in the first half of the Great Waterway. Four commanders from Flying Squirrel, Stoloberg, Dalmesia and Jiaqi have arrived.
Karp also asked Bogart to bring other people over, directly changing the party from a medium-sized party to a very large party.
However, Jiaji only found Nurkic to reminisce about the past. After hearing that Nurkic successfully married Deborah, the lieutenant general burst into tears and began to plan how to express his love to Gion next time.
After partying all night, when dawn came again, McKenzie tiptoed around many sailors who were already sleeping on the table or lying on the seats or on the ground, walked to Skyler, and asked:
"Lieutenant General Skyler, do you need to postpone the Shichibukai meeting?"
"Ah? Is it today? Isn't the Shichibukai meeting the next day?"
Skyler was a little confused, but when he saw the sky outside, he reacted, nodded, and said, "I understand, no need to delay."
Skyler stood up, looked at Garp who was sleeping with a bottle of wine on his pillow, and smiled helplessly. Garp drank too much wine last night. After all, a big stone fell to his heart, and he could drink freely.
Without waking up Karp, Skyler returned to his room. After briefly washing up, he went downstairs and said to McKenzie who was waiting aside:
"Mai, you can take charge of today's meeting. I'm optimistic about you. Of course, don't forget to take notes."
"Thank you, Lieutenant General Skyler!"
McKenzie saluted sensibly. This kind of flattery rarely appeared in the Zhanye detachment. Once in a while, Skyler was very satisfied. She nodded and said, "Let's go."
McKinsey was a little ahead and led the way, and soon arrived at the conference room where the Shichibukai meeting was held.
Compared to arriving early last time, Skyler was obviously late, so as soon as she walked into the conference room, she immediately received several dissatisfied looks.
Skyler narrowed his eyes and looked at the Shichibukai who dared to express dissatisfaction with him.
"Krokdal, Moriah, Boya Hancock..."
Skyler muttered softly, and then saw Bartholomew Bear sitting next to Haku. His condition was very bad. It didn't mean that he looked bad, but he felt bad. Skyler pursed his lips and nodded to him.
Xiong also nodded and didn't say anything. After all...he had fulfilled his wish, and with Skyler's intentional introduction, he filled the vacancy left after his death and became Vegapunk's new guard.
As for the other Shichibukai, Haku is in a good mood. Perhaps he learned that the Ryugu Kingdom has obtained a pass and can move the whole country at any time.
Mihawk's eagle-like eyes kept glancing at Charlotte Katakuri, who had her legs crossed and her hands behind her head, squinting in concentration.
Mihawk is full of curiosity about Katakuri. After all, Katakuri was discussed alongside Shanks in the World Economic Report some time ago and became the subject of discussion on the layout of the four emperors.
Mihawk is already very familiar with Shanks, who became one of the candidates for the Yonko at the age of 31, and for Katakuri, the 40-year-old candidate who is still considered a "youth", Mihawk is very familiar with him. Ke is naturally full of interest.
Regardless of his identity as a Yonko candidate, Katakuri is also one of the rare people who has fought against Skylar more than twice and still maintained good health. Even a few years ago, he was beaten to death by Kaido.
The strong strength, strong vitality, and the same "youth" made Mihawk want to take the initiative to invite a fight several times, but here with Marie Joa, no matter how willful he is, Mihawk also knows how to restrain himself.
"There are many new faces this year, but I believe that you have a detailed understanding of each other, so I won't introduce them further."
Skyler walked to the main seat and sat down. Although McKinsey was allowed to lead the meeting,...McKinsey did not dare to sit in that position. After all, leading the meeting was one thing, but sitting on the main seat to calm others was another. It's another story.
After Skyler spoke up, the Shichibukai calmed down their thoughts and looked at Skyler.
Of course, it's not all good intentions, especially Moriah, the only new Shichibukai Skyler has never interacted with, who has been observing Skyler and her shadow.
Moria was beaten to nothing by Kaido and wandered in embarrassment for several years, eventually returning to the first half of the Great Channel. However, Skyler defeated Kaido head-on and even cut off one of his arms.
This made Moria a little envious and jealous of Skyler's strength. He wanted to get Skyler's shadow more than once, so that... maybe he would be strong enough to defeat Kaido.
Skyler noticed Moria's thoughts, but she was not anxious or angry. Instead, she looked at Mihawk with a smile and asked: "Mihawk, do you think shadows can kill?"
"As long as you want to kill, there is nothing you can't kill."
Mihawk said calmly, but in the next moment, the sword power of the two suddenly broke out, and everyone, including Katakuri and Xiong, frowned.
Both swordsmen are qualified to be crowned the world's greatest swordsmen. Even they can't adapt to the full force of the sword's power. Moriah's already extremely pale face has become even paler at this time. Bloodless white.
The shadow under him shrank suddenly, and in just an instant, it seemed to have completely disappeared. His body also began to tremble, and his long neck was completely shrunk into a ball.
"Pfft~"
A stream of blood arrows spurted out of his mouth, dyeing the solid wood table red. Skyler and Mihawk then retracted their swords. Skyler looked at Moriah and asked: "Moriah?"
Moriah gritted his teeth and kept trembling, not even having the courage to look up at Skyler.
At this time, everyone knew that the sword power of the two men was aimed at Moriah. Looking at Moriah, who was huddled up like a fat ostrich, even Haku showed disdain at this time. smile.
He, Haku, was almost chopped into fish and sashimi by Mihawk, and he had never been so scared. This Moria was directly injured just by the force of the sword, and he didn't even have the courage to raise his head. It was really a shame for the Shichibukai!
"Is the world's number one swordsman?"
Hancock did not look at Moriah, but stared closely at Skyler. More than a year ago, when she became the King of the Shichibukai, the old woman finally agreed to let her read the newspaper.
Taking this opportunity, she finally got to know Skyler in the eyes of the world, the world's greatest swordsman, naval hero, and the swordsman who killed two emperors.
These deeds made her understand that she was still far, far away from Skyler, even worse than more than ten years ago, when she could only win the "new star" of the navy in the 219 nautical mile sea area from Whitebeard.
But Hancock did not retreat. The qualifications of a king gave her the unyielding belief to challenge everything. This is the privilege and curse of the king.
Before defeating Skyler, Hancock might not even have the thought of stopping. She might even spend her whole life just chasing Skyler.
This is the fate she needs and has already carried. Being able to clearly see the distance between the two is actually a good thing for Hancock. After all, her path and destination are clearer.
In the Shichibukai, some people have a lot of thoughts, while others are just as usual.
For example, Katakuri became a Shichibukai in order to reduce the pressure on his younger brothers and sisters and allow them to grow up smoothly.
At the same time, he retained the hope of saving his mother. He was satisfied enough with this kind of life. Whether Skylar was strong or not, what did it have to do with him?
The same is true for Xiong, but he may be a little less calm than Katakuri. After all...Skyler's performance proved that he was not wrong about the person. Skyler was indeed someone worthy of letting him do that.
As for Mihawk, the invincible sword power he has developed will no longer interfere with him, although Skyler has shown more powerful strength and slashes than in the battle with him.
But...he can do it too.
Although he has not tried it,... Mihawk firmly believes that he can do it.
He is just invincible, as if he is not.
Seeing that there were finally no distractions in the conference room, Skyler looked at McKinsey and said, "McKinsey, you can start."
Seeing that Skyler actually called his name instead of "Wheat", McKenzie was so excited that he almost shed tears, and suddenly felt heavy in his heart and shoulders.
That's Lieutenant General Skyler's trust!That’s the weight of the mission!
McKinsey suddenly became confident and firmly guided the pace of the meeting. First, he recounted the process of the Shichibukai meeting. After all, the last Shichibukai meeting was not full.
What followed was a series of topics, including but not limited to the statistics of the personnel of the forces under the Shichibukai. After all, the pirate groups or forces where the Shichibukai are located have immunity;
In the past four years, Shichibukai's harvest and payable amount during his tenure; the number and performance of responding to the calls of the world government and navy; the number and effects of actively or indirectly helping/destructing the world government and navy operations, etc...
Mihawk and Katakuri both closed their eyes and rested. In the past four years, apart from answering the call to attend the Shichibukai meeting today, they had done nothing related to the issue.
Of course, the World Government and Navy also take some credit for their "finding".
For example, Mihawk used sparring methods to help the growth of many swordsman generals in the Navy, such as Katakuri leading the Big Mom Pirates to maintain stability in the new world, and so on.
Except for these two people, everyone else has more or less actual achievements or faults, and among them, Crocodile and Haku have the most achievements.
The meeting went very smoothly. After all, unlike the previous World Conference, many rules had not yet been clarified. After the rules were perfected at the previous World Conference, there were not many issues that needed to be disputed or discussed.
The World Conference was held smoothly until noon, and the meeting, which was expected to take one day, came to an end.
Skyler looked at the bear and said, "Bear, let's go together in a moment."
"Um?!"
Before the bear responded, Hancock suddenly looked at Skyler with dissatisfaction. She had sent the challenge letter early tomorrow morning, saying that she would challenge after the meeting. Does Skyler want to escape now? !
"Okay, who are you waiting for?"
"Well, Hancock challenges me once a year to get a chance, and she plans to use it now."
Skyler nodded, not caring about the battle with Hancock at all. Hancock suddenly became angry and waited for a while. Was it because he had to take time to deal with his own challenge?
Thank you very much, Lieutenant General Skyler, for taking time out of your busy schedule to deal with me!
Mihawk, who had already stood up, suddenly stopped, and Katakuri, who had lowered his legs, also stopped moving at this time. The two looked at each other, and they both understood a sentence from each other's eyes.
"Is there still such an operation?!"
The two of them had been thinking about it for several years, but they still couldn't find a way to fight Skyler that was reasonable, legal and would not damage their friendship. Mihawk was luckier, as the two had previously competed for the world's greatest swordsman.
But since Katakuri learned to enjoy fighting after fighting Kaido, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to fight Skyler, but... there is really no reason!
When the two Yonko candidates and the world's greatest swordsman, Shichibukai, looked at each other, they could see regret in each other's eyes, as well as the recognition that a hero cherishes a hero.
"Mihawk, the last time you passed through Ten Thousand Kingdoms, I had no time to stop you, so why not..."
"Katakuri, I don't think you can stop me. That was true then, and that's true now."
As the two looked at each other, they suddenly smiled, and Katakuri said: "Then go to Wanguo, and I will give you a chance."
"I gave you a chance. I will go. After defeating you, I will go find Shanks."
Mihawk also said with a smile. The two hit it off immediately. Since they have missed the opportunity to fight Skyler reasonably and legally, let's find a replacement!
Haku looked at this scene and did not dare to speak. He was afraid of being spotted and ran away. After all, he had to go back to assist the Dragon Palace Kingdom in relocating. He couldn't let his guard down at this time!
Skyler looked at the angry Hancock and said, "Little girl, come on."
"You are not allowed to call me little girl, you are not allowed to call me... Lord Snake Princess!"
Hancock could no longer hold back, and in an instant, three colors of domineering energy were activated at the same time, carrying the king's momentum, rushing towards Skyler, kicking directly towards Skyler.
Under the overbearing lust, McKenzie, who was standing next to Skyler, was fighting with each other and almost fainted, but maybe it was Skyler standing beside him that supported McKenzie from falling ugly.
"You've made the same mistake again."
Hancock's unreserved attack was an extremely stupid move in Skyler's eyes. After all, Hancock had not yet reached the point where he needed to fight to the death, so there was no need to express everything.
From emotions to behavior, everything is a weakness.
The kick came in front of Skyler, but Skyler seemed to be transformed into a piece of paper, floating towards the back following the wind swaying between Hancock's kicks.
"It's not over yet!"
The straight kick failed. Hancock quickly gained a foothold and used it as a new pivot foot. He twisted his body and completed a circle on the spot. He then launched a direct and powerful roundhouse kick towards Skyler who had just landed.
"Bang~"
The backrest of the chair next to him was directly swept to pieces, but this did not diminish Hancock's strength at all.
"Nice power, don't waste your talent."
Skyler easily dodged again and spoke as if to persuade, but Hancock ignored it and continued to attack Skyler.
Because he was close enough to Skyler, Hancock turned his kick into a knee strike and launched a knee strike towards Skyler's abdomen.
"Crack~"
Skyler's left hand gently rested on the hilt of the sword, then pressed down, and the blade holder was rotated. Gu Yusaku's hilt directly hit Hancock's knee that had not been fully lifted.
"Zheng~"
Skyler's right hand was already on Obsidian. He unsheathed it an inch, and the sharp sword force directly enveloped Hancock's body.
"You lost again."
Skyler said with a smile, it was actually very easy to defeat the current Hancock, but as a reward, Skyler was willing to draw his sword to declare Hancock's defeat.
After all, if Hancock finds that he has been practicing hard for more than a year, but still can't get Skyler, a swordsman, to draw his sword, his confidence will be seriously dampened, and that would be boring.
Hancock looked at the black knife in Skyler's hand that had only been unsheathed for an inch, and it was as if his fate was being choked by someone else. He fell silent, then retracted his leg and said, "See you next year."
After saying that, Hancock turned around and walked towards the door of the conference room. She didn't understand what happened to her, and she didn't feel the shame after losing.
Instead, Skyler drew an inch of the blade for her. That mere inch of blade made her full of motivation, and she felt that the boring and painful training in the past year was worth it.
Skyler also took back the obsidian, looked at the bear, and said, "Let's go."
"Ah."
The bear nodded and followed Skyler out. After walking for a while, when no one was around anymore, the bear asked: "Lieutenant General Skyler, how is Pawnee?"
"She is very strong. Maybe there will be a day when she will protect you in the future."
Skyler turned his head and looked at the bear who was walking with his back and couldn't see his face clearly. The bear nodded and said, "Maybe I shouldn't see her at this time."
"She may now be able to see clearly how far she has to grow before she can protect you. Let her meet you."
Hearing this, Xiong was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much, Lieutenant General Skyler."
"If one day you can be proud of her, then come and say this to me."
Skyler waved his hand, while Xiong looked at the dilapidated building not far away and smiled. Even before he arrived, he seemed to have already seen his daughter.
Walking into the side hall that was temporarily transformed into a training room, Skyler sincerely expressed his gratitude to Yisheng, waved his hand and said, "I just don't want to see these dirty things anymore.
Unexpectedly, I have already lost my eyes, but all kinds of filth and sin are still lingering in front of my eyes. I couldn't help but move my hands, hoping that it would not make it difficult for you, Lieutenant General Skyler. "
After finishing his humble words, Seng Guo's eyes sparkled, like an old gourmet meeting delicious food, or like an old wolf meeting his little sister. The longing in his eyes could even be seen by a blind person.
"This is...Marshal of the Warring States Period?"
Isheng Yisheng asked Seng Guo, who nodded, and then reacted belatedly and said, "That's right, I am! Ever since I heard about Mr. Yisheng's past, I have been looking for an opportunity to communicate with you.

Seeing the smile on McKinsey's face, Skyler did not show any shame and asked with a smile: "Let's sit down and party together. I think your gift is enough for you to get a seat."
McKenzie smiled and nodded, handed the document bag in his hand to Skyler, and then sat down at the dining table of the soldiers next to him very sensibly.

In the Shichibukai, some people have a lot of thoughts, while others are just as usual.
For example, Katakuri became a Shichibukai in order to reduce the pressure on his younger brothers and sisters and allow them to grow up smoothly.
At the same time, he retained the hope of saving his mother. He was satisfied enough with this kind of life. Whether Skylar was strong or not, what did it have to do with him?
The same is true for Xiong, but he may be a little less calm than Katakuri. After all...Skyler's performance proved that he was not wrong about the person. Skyler was indeed someone worthy of letting him do that.
As for Mihawk, the invincible sword power he has developed will no longer interfere with him, although Skyler has shown more powerful strength and slashes than in the battle with him.
But...he can do it too.
Although he has not tried it,... Mihawk firmly believes that he can do it.
He is just invincible, as if he is not.
Seeing that there were finally no distractions in the conference room, Skyler looked at McKinsey and said, "McKinsey, you can start."
Seeing that Skyler actually called his name instead of "Wheat", McKenzie was so excited that he almost shed tears, and suddenly felt heavy in his heart and shoulders.
That's Lieutenant General Skyler's trust!That’s the weight of the mission!
McKinsey suddenly became confident and firmly guided the pace of the meeting. First, he recounted the process of the Shichibukai meeting. After all, the last Shichibukai meeting was not full.
What followed was a series of topics, including but not limited to the statistics of the personnel of the forces under the Shichibukai. After all, the pirate groups or forces where the Shichibukai are located have immunity;
In the past four years, Shichibukai's harvest and payable amount during his tenure; the number and performance of responding to the calls of the world government and navy; the number and effects of actively or indirectly helping/destructing the world government and navy operations, etc...
Mihawk and Katakuri both closed their eyes and rested. In the past four years, apart from answering the call to attend the Shichibukai meeting today, they had done nothing related to the issue.
Of course, the World Government and Navy also take some credit for their "finding".
For example, Mihawk used sparring methods to help the growth of many swordsman generals in the Navy, such as Katakuri leading the Big Mom Pirates to maintain stability in the new world, and so on.
Except for these two people, everyone else has more or less actual achievements or faults, and among them, Crocodile and Haku have the most achievements.
The meeting went very smoothly. After all, unlike the previous World Conference, many rules had not yet been clarified. After the rules were perfected at the previous World Conference, there were not many issues that needed to be disputed or discussed.
The World Conference was held smoothly until noon, and the meeting, which was expected to take one day, came to an end.
Skyler looked at the bear and said, "Bear, let's go together in a moment."
"Um?!"
Before the bear responded, Hancock suddenly looked at Skyler with dissatisfaction. She had sent the challenge letter early tomorrow morning, saying that she would challenge after the meeting. Does Skyler want to escape now? !
"Okay, who are you waiting for?"
"Well, Hancock challenges me once a year to get a chance, and she plans to use it now."
Skyler nodded, not caring about the battle with Hancock at all. Hancock suddenly became angry and waited for a while. Was it because he had to take time to deal with his own challenge?
Thank you very much, Lieutenant General Skyler, for taking time out of your busy schedule to deal with me!
Mihawk, who had already stood up, suddenly stopped, and Katakuri, who had lowered his legs, also stopped moving at this time. The two looked at each other, and they both understood a sentence from each other's eyes.
"Is there still such an operation?!"
The two of them had been thinking about it for several years, but they still couldn't find a way to fight Skyler that was reasonable, legal and would not damage their friendship. Mihawk was luckier, as the two had previously competed for the world's greatest swordsman.
But since Katakuri learned to enjoy fighting after fighting Kaido, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to fight Skyler, but... there is really no reason!
When the two Yonko candidates and the world's greatest swordsman, Shichibukai, looked at each other, they could see regret in each other's eyes, as well as the recognition that a hero cherishes a hero.
"Mihawk, the last time you passed through Ten Thousand Kingdoms, I had no time to stop you, so why not..."
"Katakuri, I don't think you can stop me. That was true then, and that's true now."
As the two looked at each other, they suddenly smiled, and Katakuri said: "Then go to Wanguo, and I will give you a chance."
"I gave you a chance. I will go. After defeating you, I will go find Shanks."
Mihawk also said with a smile. The two hit it off immediately. Since they have missed the opportunity to fight Skyler reasonably and legally, let's find a replacement!
Haku looked at this scene and did not dare to speak. He was afraid of being spotted and ran away. After all, he had to go back to assist the Dragon Palace Kingdom in relocating. He couldn't let his guard down at this time!
Skyler looked at the angry Hancock and said, "Little girl, come on."
"You are not allowed to call me little girl, you are not allowed to call me... Lord Snake Princess!"
Hancock could no longer hold back, and in an instant, three colors of domineering energy were activated at the same time, carrying the king's momentum, rushing towards Skyler, kicking directly towards Skyler.
Under the overbearing lust, McKenzie, who was standing next to Skyler, was fighting with each other and almost fainted, but maybe it was Skyler standing beside him that supported McKenzie from falling ugly.
"You've made the same mistake again."
Hancock's unreserved attack was an extremely stupid move in Skyler's eyes. After all, Hancock had not yet reached the point where he needed to fight to the death, so there was no need to express everything.
From emotions to behavior, everything is a weakness.
The kick came in front of Skyler, but Skyler seemed to be transformed into a piece of paper, floating towards the back following the wind swaying between Hancock's kicks.
"It's not over yet!"
The straight kick failed. Hancock quickly gained a foothold and used it as a new pivot foot. He twisted his body and completed a circle on the spot. He then launched a direct and powerful roundhouse kick towards Skyler who had just landed.
"Bang~"
The backrest of the chair next to him was directly swept to pieces, but this did not diminish Hancock's strength at all.
"Nice power, don't waste your talent."
Skyler easily dodged again and spoke as if to persuade, but Hancock ignored it and continued to attack Skyler.
Because he was close enough to Skyler, Hancock turned his kick into a knee strike and launched a knee strike towards Skyler's abdomen.
"Crack~"
Skyler's left hand gently rested on the hilt of the sword, then pressed down, and the blade holder was rotated. Gu Yusaku's hilt directly hit Hancock's knee that had not been fully lifted.
"Zheng~"
Skyler's right hand was already on Obsidian. He unsheathed it an inch, and the sharp sword force directly enveloped Hancock's body.
"You lost again."
Skyler said with a smile, it was actually very easy to defeat the current Hancock, but as a reward, Skyler was willing to draw his sword to declare Hancock's defeat.
After all, if Hancock finds that he has been practicing hard for more than a year, but still can't get Skyler, a swordsman, to draw his sword, his confidence will be seriously dampened, and that would be boring.
Hancock looked at the black knife in Skyler's hand that had only been unsheathed for an inch, and it was as if his fate was being choked by someone else. He fell silent, then retracted his leg and said, "See you next year."
After saying that, Hancock turned around and walked towards the door of the conference room. She didn't understand what happened to her, and she didn't feel the shame after losing.
Instead, Skyler drew an inch of the blade for her. That mere inch of blade made her full of motivation, and she felt that the boring and painful training in the past year was worth it.
Skyler also took back the obsidian, looked at the bear, and said, "Let's go."
"Ah."
The bear nodded and followed Skyler out. After walking for a while, when no one was around anymore, the bear asked: "Lieutenant General Skyler, how is Pawnee?"
"She is very strong. Maybe there will be a day when she will protect you in the future."
Skyler turned his head and looked at the bear who was walking with his back and couldn't see his face clearly. The bear nodded and said, "Maybe I shouldn't see her at this time."
"She may now be able to see clearly how far she has to grow before she can protect you. Let her meet you."
Hearing this, Xiong was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much, Lieutenant General Skyler."
"If one day you can be proud of her, then come and say this to me."
Skyler waved his hand, while Xiong looked at the dilapidated building not far away and smiled. Even before he arrived, he seemed to have already seen his daughter.
