One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"Today, I will break through to become a great swordsman!"

Suddenly, a blessing came to my mind. There was no earth-shattering imagery, no sudden enlightenment or thundering tribulation. It just felt like a natural outcome, and the heavy sword in my hand became more handy.

If what we said just now was like moving one's arm with one's fingers, then now it is just a matter of moving one's mind. Wherever the mind goes, the heavy sword can go.

"So, this is called the Great Swordsman!"

Carsent nodded slightly, not too surprised by the breakthrough in kendo.

On the one hand, all methods are unified. Any top-level fighter who wants to change his swordsmanship can reach the level of a swordsman in a very short time. As long as he can accumulate experience for one or two years, he can become a great swordsman like Carsente.

After all, in the world of One Piece, being able to simulate the image of ice and frost simply by relying on swordsmanship like Shimotsuki Jiu is already a leader. You must know that the inheritance of Wano Country only involves the Five Elements Swordsmanship.

On the other hand, a simple breakthrough in swordsmanship cannot bring substantial combat power improvement to the top combat forces. After all, even the slash of a great swordsman can hardly break Charlotte Linlin's steel balloon, and it is also no threat to Kaido's "immortality".

As for the attack power, isn't Whitebeard's air shock powerful?

So, just like an inconspicuous understanding, Carsent's swordsmanship, which had been stagnant in the swordsman realm for many years, was promoted to the great swordsman realm.

"To be able to break through in the middle of a battle, what a genius in swordsmanship!"

Although Carsent's performance was the same as before after the promotion, this subtle change seemed like a world of difference in the eyes of Shuangyuejiu and the others.

Although Carsent's swordsmanship was equally powerful and even able to overpower the two of them, there was always an inexplicable sense of incongruity.

And now, with Carsent's breakthrough, the two suddenly understood what this sense of disharmony was.

His previous strength was more due to his powerful physical skills and swordsmanship driven by physical strength, which gave people a feeling of disharmony and confusion, as well as reversed cause and effect.

After the breakthrough, this sense of disharmony disappeared.

"I deeply admire the general's swordsmanship. If there is a chance in the future, I am willing to leave Wano Country with the general and experience the 'magnificent' sea that the general mentioned."

With Carsent's breakthrough, the whole battle came to an end. Shimotsuki Jiu swept across, then drew his sword and retreated, while Fengyue Ling also sheathed his sword.

At this point, the two masters of Wano Country were finally convinced of Carsent's strength.

"Yes, the general's strength, swordsmanship, and comprehension are all top-notch. He will surely restore the glory of the warriors!"

Feng Yue Ling nodded, deeply agreeing with what Shuang Yue Jiu had just said.

"Thank you for your praise, seniors. Please follow me back to the naval base. I have arranged a banquet to entertain you two seniors!"

Seeing Fengyue Ling and Shimotsuki Jiu's heartfelt respect and recognition, Carsen nodded with satisfaction, and his words became much more polite.

After all, the two of them are quite powerful. On the one hand, they can greatly expand the strength of the crew on the Aegis Eternal and smooth out the strength gap below the top combat power.

Secondly, each of them represents a complete set of kendo traditions in Wano Country. If any one of them is willing to serve as a kendo teacher in the Navy Headquarters, it will definitely bring the number and quality of future swordsmen in the Navy to a higher level.

After all, if this was not the case, there would be no need for Carsent to bother with these two for so long.

However, with this "instruction" beforehand, the conversation between the two sides at the banquet afterwards seemed extremely harmonious.

Recalling the original intention of coming to the naval camp, Shimotsuki Jiu also assured Carsen that after returning, he would actively persuade Kotsuki Sukiyaki to promote cooperation.

The previous hesitation disappeared after Carsen showed his strength.

After all, in Shimotsuki Kyu's opinion, with the help of Kaido, Kurozumi Orochi has indeed put Wano Country on the brink of life and death, and there is indeed no one in Wano Country who can compete with that monster Kaido.

At this time, someone was willing to stand up and had enough strength, so Shimotsuki Jiu was naturally happy to see it. Even if the navy had something to ask for in the future, it would be a hundred times better than the destruction of the Kozuki family and the fragmentation of Wano Country.

Compared to Shimotsuki Kyu, Fugetsuki Rei does not need to consider too many serious matters. The Shimotsuki family is closely tied to the Kozuki family, so Shimotsuki Kyu also needs to consider the concerns of Kozuki Sukiyaki, while the Fugetsu family remains relatively neutral.

It is for this reason that Feng Yue Ling expressed his willingness to follow Carsent to sea and experience the vast ocean after the crisis in Wano Country is resolved.

Afterwards, both the guests and the hosts had a great time and left with their glasses raised.

……

In the castle of the Kozuki family in the Flower Capital of Wano Country, Shimotsuki Kyu told Kozuki Sukiyaki about the journey in detail.

After hearing that Carsente was far stronger than Kaido, Kozuki Sukiyaki fell into a long silence.

"You mean to say that this outsider, the admiral of the navy, has the power to easily defeat Kaidou, rather than a draw that would result in both sides losing?"

"That's right, Lord Daimyo."

Although he had asked it countless times and received an extremely affirmative answer from Shimotsuki Jiu, Kotsuki Sukiyaki still found it hard to believe.

After all, in the eyes of Kozuki Sukiyaki, the previous Shimotsuki Kyu and his own son Kozuki Oden were already invincible in the world, and now Kaido has come to dominate.

Kaido is strong enough, at least Shimotsuki Jiu can still hurt Kaido, and can also get away safely after fighting with Kaido, so Kozuki Sukiyaki is not too frightened, but more dissatisfied with finding that the situation is beyond her expectations and that she needs to pay a higher price.

But now, after hearing Shuang Yuejiu's description, he was stunned for a long while and felt a little scared.

"According to your description, even you can't deal with it?"

Kotsuki Sukiyaki half-closed his eyes, eager to get the result he longed to hear from Shimotsuki Jiu.

But as soon as Shimotsuki Jiu opened his mouth, he broke Kozuki Sukiyaki's fantasy.

"That's right, Lord Daimyo."

"If I attack him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cause any harm, and I will never come back. I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

"I hope that Your Excellency the Daimyo will first solve the problem at hand and not think too much."

After all, she had followed her daimyo for such a long time, so as soon as Kotsuki Sukiyaki asked, Shimotsuki Kyu knew what Kotsuki Sukiyaki wanted to do.

But it was precisely because of this that Shimotsuki Jiu did not hesitate to tell the truth and even deliberately exaggerated Carsent's strength, just to prevent Kozuki Sukiyaki from having any bad ideas.

After all, even if Kozuki Sukiyaki wanted to, he had to drive Kaido away before doing other things. Now Kaido is still making trouble in Kurozumi Orochi's hometown. If Kozuki Sukiyaki got hot-headed and offended the navy again, then Wano Country would be in trouble.
