The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

After Nika left the stage, since Admiral Kizaru was no longer acting, there was no need for the other navy officers to continue acting.

Kuzan easily froze Mirajane, and Erza stabbed Enel with a sword. Two of the three outstanding cadres of the Sky Pirates were killed in an instant.

The leaders of the Whitebeard Pirates did not expect that their allies would be defeated so quickly. It was beyond the expectations of most pirates.

On the bustling battlefield of Marinford, a relatively independent area seemed to be separated by an invisible boundary. There was no deafening artillery fire here, only the sharp sound of metal and the faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The two swords clashed so fast that only afterimages were left.

On one side is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' fifth team, "Flower Sword" Vista. He wields two sophisticated Western swords, and his moves are gorgeous and deadly. Every time he swings his sword, it seems to bring up pieces of illusory pink petals, and his elegance hides murderous intent.

His opponent was a short man wearing an ill-fitting navy uniform - Levi.

Beneath Vista's thick black beard, there was initially a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Levi's slightly childish face that was out of place on the battlefield, and couldn't help but underestimate the enemy.

"Is the navy empty-handed? Send a child soldier to deal with me," he thought to himself. Although his sword was sharp, he did not use his full strength.

As the confrontation continued, the ease on Vista's face was gradually replaced by solemnity. This short marine was incredibly fast!

That seemingly thin body contains amazing explosive power. Every push off the ground, every turn, and every thrust is simple and efficient to the extreme.

Although the two navy-issue longswords in his hands were made of slightly inferior materials to Vista's beloved sword, he could always block and relieve force at the most ingenious angles under his control that was precise to the millimeter.

Then he fought back like a poisonous snake, with the tip of his sword pointing directly at Vista's throat, heart, joints and other vital parts every time!

This is definitely not the skill of a young man who has just started out. This is a killing skill that has been honed through thousands of years. If Levi's opponent was someone else, he would have been hacked to death by the Captain long ago.

Vista is considered the fourth most important member of the Whitebeard Pirates, ranking behind Marco, Ace, and Diamond Jozu. He has been following his father for more than 20 years.

The swordsman does have some strength, otherwise he would not have fought against the great swordsman Hawkeye on the same battlefield in a certain timeline and not been at a disadvantage for the time being (which is a compliment to him).

"Tsk, I was wrong...", Vista felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he could not delay any longer. The battlefield was changing rapidly, and any underestimation of the enemy could lead to disastrous consequences.

Vista suddenly took a step back, then jumped into the air, spread his arms, and suddenly burst out with powerful momentum: "Taste this, Rose Dance"!

In an instant, his body was enveloped by countless "petals". It was no longer an illusory scene, but a beautiful yet extremely dangerous death storm materialized by the high-speed sword energy.

The red "petals" spun and danced, covering all possible spaces for Levi to dodge. They seemed soft, but in fact each one was as sharp as a knife, enough to cut the flesh and blood body caught in it into pieces in an instant.

Elegance and killing are perfectly combined at this moment. Levi, standing in the center of the petal storm, has eyes as sharp as an eagle.

He could feel the biting chill beneath the "beauty" flying all over the sky. He could not wait any longer and had to break it with one blow.

Levi began to breathe heavily and deeply, his chest rising and falling with an astonishing amplitude, and his powerful heart and lung functions delivered huge amounts of oxygen to every cell in his body.

His blood seemed to be boiling, his muscle strength was soaring, and a flash of golden lightning suddenly flashed in the depths of his pupils.

A power called "breathing method" will be demonstrated on the peak battlefield of this great pirate era!

"Thunder Breathing: Type 1..."

Levi's figure was slightly lowered, with his two swords one in front and one behind, making a charging starting posture, and there seemed to be tiny golden arcs jumping around his body.

"Thunderbolt Flash"!!

Before he finished speaking, Levi's figure had disappeared. No, not disappeared, but turned into a golden lightning, rushing straight into the deadly rose rain at a speed beyond the limit of the naked eye.

"What"?!

Bista's pupils in the air shrank sharply. He only felt a flash of golden light in front of his eyes. The originally perfect, layered storm of petals was unexpectedly torn and pierced from the front by an unstoppable force.

A deadly sense of crisis instantly gripped Vista's heart. He relied almost entirely on the instinct accumulated from years of fighting to cross his two rapiers and tightly protect his neck.

Clang——! ! !

There was a deafening sound of metal collision.

The golden light condensed in front of Vista's eyes, revealing Levi's cold face. The two swords in his hands were slashing fiercely on Vista's crossed blades.

The huge impact force made Vista feel severe pain in his arms and almost lose consciousness. The knuckles were broken and blood instantly dyed the hilt red.

He was pushed back from the direction of the attack by this huge force, stumbling and flying, narrowly avoiding the fate of being beheaded instantly.

Cold sweat instantly soaked Vista's back. He steadied himself and looked in disbelief at the short marine who had put away his sword and stood there as if he had never moved. A storm surged in his heart.

The speed and power just now... What kind of monster is this navy?!

Breathing method! Why would the navy master this technique that only appeared in the sky? Did they learn it from Rengoku Kyojuro?

It would be a lie for Vista to say that he wasn't envious of the fact that a swordsman's strength could be raised to such a terrifying level in such a short period of time.

The fancy sword techniques of flower sword are good-looking but useless in the eyes of real masters. Instead of doing so many unnecessary things, it is better to directly improve the speed and power of sword moves, which will have a more direct killing effect.

Vista lowered his eyebrows and looked at his slightly trembling hands. He raised his arm to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. This time he wanted to look his opponent in the face. "We have been fighting for so long, and I still don't know your name. Let me formally introduce myself. I am the captain of the 5th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates - Flower Sword Vista."

Levi threw away the rotten knife in his hand. It was an ordinary navy weapon and could not withstand the energy impact brought by the breathing method. The inside of the blade had begun to disintegrate.

To cope with the problem of weak materials, he kept carrying a small box on his back, and pulled out two new swords in front of the pirates, continuing to fight against Whitebeard's adopted son.

The elite navy can recite the list of members of the Whitebeard Pirates. There are not many sword masters in the navy, so Levi took the initiative to find Vista with the flower sword to share the pressure with his comrades.

The short navy man is only 1.6 meters tall, but his aura gives people the impression of being 2.8 meters tall. The height discrimination that is unique to the world of pirates does not work on Levi.

"Navy Levi, not worth mentioning..."
