Pirate: Hades!

The knockout round of the second Kendo Tournament has officially ended.

From start to finish, it only took a week.

With hundreds of arenas, nearly a thousand people can fight in one go.

And the number of contestants exceeds 10,000.

It is equivalent to only going through a dozen battles in each arena.

Battles between swordsmen sometimes end quickly, with absolute strength crushing them, and a flaw can determine the outcome of a battle.

Some battles are also very tense.

But no matter how hard we fight, it will be over within an hour or two.

At this point, one thousand and twenty-four swordsmen representing the elite swordsmen on the sea were in place.

Those powerful swordsmen who hide their strength will also show their talents.

After all, a swordsman who can stand out among tens of thousands of people and be ranked at the forefront is at least the best among swordsmen.

Some of the outstanding ones can also force out some of the strength of the great swordsman.

A renowned top swordsman.

The young swordsman has risen rapidly and is on his way to the top.

The young "Eagle Eye" Mihawk is already proud of being able to reach the main competition.

It is precisely because of his youth that in today's prosperous era of swordsmanship, there are many top swordsmen in the sea.

It can be said that it is impossible to reach the top 64 in the next stage.

But don't forget that he is only twenty years old.

At the next kendo tournament, his stage will come.

The "Speed" Ciel, who also attracted much attention, is already the leading monster on the sea.

After debuting in the Sky Arena, he returned after many years. After the start of the main game, he showed his dominant fighting power.

Even without using his Devil Fruit abilities, he is still a great swordsman.

In the past few years since joining the Sky Pirates, following the Sky Pirates to the top of the pirate ranks, and going through fierce battles, his growth rate has been astonishing.

Even if he breaks away from the Flying Pirates, he can still have a place among the many monsters in the new world with his combat prowess.

I saw Styx holding two swords, with long blood-colored hair flying on his face, and a strong killing aura burst out from his strange blood pupils.

A deep red aura enveloped his body.

As for his opponent, fear arose in his heart as if he was in a sea of ​​blood hell.

This is Styx's unique aura, similar to the murderous aura of other murderous swordsmen, but it contains his swordsmanship.

At the same time, it combines the overlord color and domineering energy.

The domineering will directly strikes the hearts of others through Styx's eyes. This is some kind of application of the domineering domineering energy.

If you can't even resist this, you are not worthy of being his opponent.

Just facing Styx, his opponent's heart was already shaken.

The body is sweating profusely without realizing it.

Even the arm holding the knife couldn't help but tremble.

The body seemed to freeze in place.

This did not defeat him, but there was no doubt that he had been affected.

His eyes were fixed on the young figure not far away, and his heart was extremely bitter.

Before the battle even started, Styx's powerful attack made him realize that there was a huge gap between them.

Around the arena, there are also many competitors watching the battle.

As a young monster, the son of Hades, Styx is not only the focus of attention on the sea, but also the object of many people's attention among these powerful swordsmen.

For those swordsmen who are interested in qualifying for the top 16 in each division, and eventually the top 64, Styx is undoubtedly their strong competitor.

Especially those contestants who are assigned to the same competition area as Styx.

The higher the ranking, the same symbol of status and glory, as well as extremely high reputation.

Most swordsmen cannot ignore these things.

Just the title of "the world's best swordsman" has aroused the pursuit of many strong men.

After the sword competition, if you perform well, you can become a guest in any kingdom, and becoming a noble is also an easy matter.

Nothing is unattainable.

Besides, there are various rewards prepared by the Kendo Tournament itself.

The famous swords recorded in history are the pursuit of countless swordsmen.

At dusk, a generation of Muramasa wields the Seven-Star Sword.

Nowadays, there are also relics from the Kingdom of Wano such as Black Sword Shusui, Enma, Tian Yu Yu Zhan and so on.

If you get one of them, it can be regarded as a family heirloom.

The various precious forging materials are also very attractive.

In today's Paros Island, there is also a knife-forging studio that attracts many swordsmen.

In addition to selling swords, the business can also help people make weapons.

Many well-known Wano swordsmiths can help those swordsmen create suitable swords.

After all, Wano is a thing of the past. The remaining residents of Wano have succumbed to the rule of the Tyrannosaurus Pirates and have even forgotten the existence of Wano.

The daimyo of Wano, the people who could represent Wano, are all dead.

Even if a few seeds are left on the sea, it will be difficult to rebuild Wano in the future.

Observing Styx's fighting style is also a way to make more preparations for possible future encounters with this powerful enemy.

Intelligence is also an important part of combat.

However, the result obviously disappointed them.

This opponent alone could not force out Styx's strength.

Even this is enough to make them pay attention to it.

There were countless powerful swordsmen gathered in the small arena.

Above the arena, there is also a circle of VIP seats to better watch the game.

"The Alone Red" Redfield stood quietly in front of the handrail, leaving a large open space around him, and no one else dared to approach.

A battle of this level would not have caught his attention.

But this is Styx's battle.

He was obviously relatively close to Styx, who also had the bloodline of the Vampire clan and had briefly taught him for a period of time, and was very optimistic about him.

It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Styx's performance.

Although he didn't take action directly, for a monster of his level, he could already see a lot of things.

Styx's excellence made him somewhat gratified.

Of course, Styx's official teacher is equally satisfied.

Genryusai Shigekuni, who won the first kendo tournament and the title of "World's No. 1 Swordsman".

Although he will not participate in the competition, he will not miss such a grand event.

Moreover, in the swordsmanship competition, there are a large number of swordsmen from the swordsmanship Zhenling Academy, basically all of them are his students.

He had arrived in Paros four days before the official start of the Kendo Tournament.

His flame style swordsmanship is too domineering, and not many people can inherit it.

Apart from those members of the Lunaria tribe who were born with unique talents, in his heart, the most outstanding one was obviously Styx.

And made his own way.

Beside him, stood a young woman wearing a black kimono.

Her long black hair was flowing down.

His aura was extremely sharp, and his gaze towards Styx was filled with fighting intent.

She is none other than Unohana Yasenryu, a direct disciple of Genryusai Shigekuni, and is known as a once-in-a-century swordsmanship genius.

Proficient in hundreds of schools of swordsmanship, he is a pure swordsman of the killing style.

He held a long knife in his hands.

The supreme sharp sword Shura.

It was obtained as a trophy from Genryusai Shigekuni's first kendo tournament and later became the sword of Unohana Yachiryu.

However, Rocks D. Gibek's sword possesses a ferocity that is hard to suppress.

Even now, she has not been able to completely conquer Shura.

His own swordsmanship and the killing style have to be said to be influenced by Shura.

A powerful famous sword will affect its owner.

Even Styx was affected to a certain extent by his own sword.

But this is not a bad thing, because they do not reject it, but will promote their growth.

The reason why a famous sword is so precious is because it has become famous and contains the sword intention of the previous owner, or even the sword intention of several previous owners.

This is a precious treasure for many swordsmen.

Many swordsmen break through their own swordsmanship bottlenecks and become stronger just because they got a famous sword.

At the Kendo Shinrei Academy, Unohana Eight-Thousand-Ryu fought against Minghe thousands of times.

And the final result, without exception, was that she lost.

If we talk about pure swordsmanship, Maozhihua Baqianliu is no less than Styx, and even a little stronger.

But Styx's overall strength is stronger.

The battle ended faster than expected.

Styx had no intention of entangled, and his opponent was left with flaws under his shock.

Before he could react, a knife fell on his neck.
