Pirates' Max Level System

Red Hair and Beckman laughed out loud. Seeing Hawkeye being so stupid, they couldn't help laughing. Hawkeye realized something was wrong, and when he came to his senses, he stared at Red Hair and Beckman fiercely with that kind look.

Chapter 692: Spearmen Have Been Lucky Since Ancient Times

Hawkeye's eyes were sharp and cold, and even a hint of murderous intent seemed to emanate from his pupils. Most people couldn't stand Hawkeye's direct gaze.

But Shanks and Beckman were so familiar with Hawkeye's gaze that they had grown accustomed to it, immune to it. The gaze that lowered the temperature of the surroundings had no effect on Shanks and Beckman. Their laughter only grew wider.

"You don't understand. Only a true swordsman can see this kind of beauty." Hawkeye defended himself.

Hearing this, Beckman nudged the still-laughing Shanks with his elbow and signaled him with his eyes: "Captain, you are expelled from the swordsmanship. - Tell me what you think."

"Why the hell did you revoke your swordsmanship qualification? Hawkeye, your swordsmanship is only slightly better than mine. I can't even be considered a swordsman, so what are you?" Shanks continued to tease Hawkeye. He had never had such an opportunity before.

Shanks continued, pointing to the cheering audience, "And you said only swordsmen could appreciate Miss Tayuya's beauty. Then wouldn't all those people in the audience be swordsmen? I don't think so."

Generally speaking, when one party is unwilling to continue the topic happily, there are two reasons. One is that they don't want to talk about it, and the second is that they can't say it. Obviously, Hawkeye belongs to the latter at this moment.

Hawkeye's face turned red after hearing what he said, and he decisively chose to shut up and pretend to be autistic.

Tayuya's opponent is a spearman, the kind of spearman who has been lucky since ancient times, and his weapon is a combination gun that is more than three meters long.

As the king of long weapons, the spear is extremely unpopular in the pirate world. Even in this situation where it is as precious as a giant panda, the passive effect of the spearman is still constantly activated.

Among the 128 contestants, excluding those with special abilities and those equipped with prosthetic limbs, 70% to 80% of the remaining contestants used swords as weapons, and only one used a gun.

With this kind of probability, if there was a company in the world that issued lottery tickets where winning depended on bad luck, the Lancer would definitely be able to buy out that company.

Tayuya is very strong. Because her previous opponent was too weak, she had not even used her full strength and easily made it to the knockout round.

Furthermore, as this martial arts tournament was a major attraction, with the favorites to win, the organizers would definitely not let Tayuya disappear from the stage so quickly. The opening match was even more so, after trying to create a good atmosphere, they ended up selecting a skilled fighter who swept the "goddess" in the first round.

Even in a dream, the script didn't play out like this.

This was the only time the organizers had blatantly chosen a weaker opponent for Tayuya, and this was unanimously approved by the audience and other competitors, with the exception of the Lancer, of course.

In fact, if Lancer had better luck and encountered several equally matched opponents in succession, he would still have a chance of making it to the top 32.

The stage for the opening match belongs to Tayuya. The poor Lancer has not received any attention since he came on stage, and even his "family and friends" briefly rebelled.

The spearman gave a wry smile, then, holding his spear, said to Tayuya, "Please give me your guidance, Miss Tayuya."

Tayuya smiled faintly and returned the salute, a gesture that momentarily stunned the spearmen. "This will be a fascinating battle. Let me witness your spearmanship."

Ever since Qin Luo discovered that Duo Youya had the potential to be an idol, he organized an idol training class for her, and now it has begun to show results. Duo Youya, in her movie queen state, has a unique brilliance in every frown and smile, just like a female swordsman hidden in the mountains.

Not to mention Orochimaru personally reshaped Tayuya's appearance. The plastic surgery techniques of later generations pale in comparison to Orochimaru's. A head replacement is nothing; Orochimaru simply reshaped Tayuya's three demons.

This also allowed Tayuya to finally dare to summon her summoned beast in front of everyone, using her full strength. In addition, Orochimaru also developed some simple sound ninjutsu for Tayuya. In Orochimaru's words, this was just a bluff, making Tayuya look more like a swordsman.

The arena prepared for the knockout rounds was different. Various devices capable of broadcasting images and sounds were set up underneath the arena. Therefore, the conversation between Lancer and Tayuya was not only heard by them, but also by everyone in the arena through the delayed broadcast.

then……

"Boy, you want to chat up the goddess, have you asked me?" Someone in the audience suddenly shouted. Qin Luo had some influence on this person. Isn't this Dayouya's opponent in the points competition? He actually became a fan of Dayouya.

"Hey, gun man! If you dare to touch the goddess, you'll never leave this stadium." This is another angry fan.

The Lancer hadn't expected to receive such a "blessing," but it was a blessing he didn't want. He considered giving up the fight. He couldn't win, couldn't escape, and was being scolded. How could such a loss be possible?

"You don't have to pay attention to them. Let's have a fair fight." Tayuya said.

Sister, fairy, goddess, please be quiet. Every word you say now is my death warrant. The spearman listened to the escalating "threats" in the audience.

At this time, the emcee of the competition finally started to work and helped the spearmen out.

"I really love these enthusiastic audiences, but I would like to sincerely remind you that it is easy to miss the wonderful shots. Our contestants seem to be ready, and the competition is about to begin." The emcee said a few witty words, and when he successfully changed the topic, he quickly started the competition.

 … 0

"three."

"two."

"one."

As the emcee's countdown ended, the spearmen and Tayuya both moved.

A streak of light was released by Duoyouya when she drew the long sword from her waist.

The essence of the streak of light is a sound blade composed of sword energy and chakra. It lies low and reaches the front of the spearman at the speed of sound in an instant.

The spearmen seemed to be prepared, with their spears pointed downwards, just enough to pin the silk that had just arrived to the ground.

The sonic blades shattered, and then the spearmen's attack arrived. The spearheads that had penetrated the floor of the arena were lifted up, and with an upward thrust, a series of sharp slashes mixed with the broken stone attacked Tayuya.

Unable to grasp the true and false of this move, Tayuya stepped back to the other side. Only then did people see that Tayuya was holding a new sword.

The sword is called "Snow Sound" and is a slender single-edged sword. The blade is like snow and the blade is like ice. On the back of the sword are small holes that are connected to each other like a flute. This structure helps Tayuya to release the sound ninjutsu more easily.

Although the "Snow Sound" sword was shown to the public for the first time, any swordsman who truly knew the sword could instantly see how powerful it was.

Chapter 693: Sound "Perpetual Motion Machine"

Orochimaru is truly a genius, having researched many things in order to achieve immortality. He even researched the weapons of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in their early days.

It's true that Qin Luo specifically asked Orochimaru to forge the Snow Sound Sword, but Qin Luo didn't expect Orochimaru to be able to do it to this extent. Even without the help of the sound ninjutsu, the Snow Sound Sword itself is no worse than any other large sword of the 21st level.

In response to this, Orochimaru said regretfully that if there were no metal that could absorb chakra in the world of pirates, this sword would be even stronger.

Qin Luo had no idea about the strength of weapons, and he didn't quite understand what level the Xueyin Sword could reach after further improvement.

Artifact? Or semi-artifact?

At most, he could only glimpse a little from Tayuya's complex expression filled with joy and regret.

It should be very strong.

But this matter ended here. After throwing the Snow Sound Sword to Tayuya, Orochimaru told Qin Luo very seriously not to bother him with such trivial matters in the future, because he was not a blacksmith.

Facing the attack of the spearmen, Duoyou decided to avoid their attack first.

Crushing the rocks wasn't a difficult task, and the various gunshots weren't a problem either. But when the two came together, Duoyou was a bit overwhelmed, especially with a spearman hiding behind the attacks, ready to strike.

Tayuya retreated while being alert to those who might suddenly attack her. When she encountered gravel that she couldn't avoid, she would use the Snow Sound Sword to cut it apart like tofu.

Despite this, Tayuya still lost track of the spearman, and he disappeared from her sight.

At this point, the emcee finally remembered that he seemed to still have a commentary job. "In a normal fight, the first round is all about testing each other's attacks, not going all out, like what Tayuya did. But our other contestant didn't do that. He went all out from the start. Is there some kind of strategy?"

At this moment, the sky above Tayuya's head went dark and a shadow enveloped her.

Without even looking up to see what was happening, Tayuya immediately fled from her current location. The next second, the vanished spearman swooped down, his spear pointed toward the ground, creating a large crater where Tayuya had been.

The spearman pulled the spear head out of the ground with a wry smile. He could feel the gap between the two of them, both in terms of strength and number of fans.

The only hope was to catch Tayuya off guard at the beginning. Although he knew that this idea was a bit far-fetched, he still felt it was a pity after the plan failed.

He can't plot against anyone, and his luck is not good either. He can't even stab a pretty girl. What's the use of this spear?

But the game had to go on. The spearman regrouped and fired a beautiful shot, staring at Tayuya.

Compared to the solemnity of the spearman, Duoyou was much more relaxed. The Xueyin sword was held diagonally in her right hand, and she watched the spearman adjust his condition leisurely.

After a round of close combat, Tayuya had a rough idea of ​​the spearmen's strength. Unless they were deliberately hiding their weaknesses, she was confident she could win within a hundred moves. However, this would take too long and be cumbersome. Tayuya wanted the fight to end quickly, as she was actually somewhat dissatisfied with her ranking.

In this case, we can only engage in close combat.

The eyes of both parties met in the air, as if each could see through the other's thoughts.

With a "whoosh", both sides moved.

Two streams of light, one silver and one white, streaked across the field. The shadows of swords and spears intertwined, and a bright light like fireworks exploded between Tayuya and the spearmen.

"Both competitors chose to engage in a duel, and this is when the advantage of longer arms became apparent. Even if we were outmatched in speed and power, the extended reach of the spear provided more room for maneuver, making the situation seem evenly matched. However, I still feel like something's off, but what exactly is it?"

Along with the commentary, the image on the big screen was zoomed in, and the red face of the spearman was the best explanation.

Any guy who pulls off two different roles is no small feat. Being both the MC and commentator for the knockout rounds certainly takes some skill. Successful commentators often manage the audience's emotions and rhythm, and he certainly did that.

Even Olivia and Taotu couldn't help their curiosity and asked.

"It's a sound." Also from the world of Naruto, Tsunade knew something about the Sound Village. To be more precise, she had some knowledge of Orochimaru, who founded the Sound Village, and had also gathered some intelligence on the Sound Village.

"But how did she do that, the Uninscribed Ninjutsu?"

It is very difficult to form hand seals in such a dense attack, but it is a bit uncertain to call it a non-handed ninjutsu. If non-handed ninjutsu were so easy to develop, Rasengan and Chidori would not be so famous in Naruto...

Qin Luo shook his head and said: "It's mainly due to the sword. The sword made by Orochimaru can store sound."

Storing sound—it sounds incredible, but it's actually true. Using her control over sound and simple hand seals, Duoyou can absorb surrounding sounds into the holes in the Snow Sound Sword, amplifying them before releasing them and then recovering them.

It sounds like a perpetual motion machine.

Apart from Qin Luo's decryption, the audience at the arena also guessed the answer one after another because the sound popped out by itself.

Through repeated collisions and cycles, the sound of the Snow Sound Sword became loud enough to be heard in the audience.

After the swords and spears collided, the loud noises struck everyone's hearts.

Even with the audience so far away, the situation was still like this. One can imagine the pressure the spearmen were under.

Starting from the spearman's ears and spreading to his entire face, the red blood vessels began to turn a strange purple color.

The last two blows of the spear and sword collided, and the spearman staggered, unable to hold on. The next blow knocked the spear out of his hand.

With a "bang", the sound of something breaking was drowned out by the loud noise, and blood flowed from the ears and corners of the spearman's mouth.

It's time to deal the final blow to the opponent and end this battle, and there is almost enough sound left.

Duoyou did not miss this opportunity. She drew a circle with her long sword 0.0, trying to bring up the power of heaven and earth. It seemed as if a transparent flame was burning in the air.

The air isn't actually burning, but the sound of compression vibrates the air to a point where it's visible to the naked eye.

The transparent flames circled along with Tayuya's sword, condensing into a monster that looked like a tiger but wasn't, and slashed out.

The monster roared and crushed the air and ground along the way into pieces.

Finally, the monster darted past the spearman without hitting him directly, as a direct hit would have been fatal.

The outcome was no longer in doubt, and Tayouya still showed mercy, so the spearman chose to admit defeat.

"Don't worry, it's just temporary deafness, your ears are fine." Duoyou said as he passed by the spearman.

The spearman was confused and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Chapter 694: Aokiji Exposed

Even after the emcee announced the results of the competition, many people in the audience had not responded. They opened their mouths wide and even forgot to applaud and congratulate their goddess.

What would your expression be when you find out that your goddess is not only beautiful but also a 10th degree Judo master?

1. The black man’s confused face.

2. Zeng Xiaoxian’s ferocious face.

3. Director Jin’s bitter smile.

This choice will vary from person to person, but some people say they want them all. Especially someone like Hawkeye who thinks he is a strong suitor of Tayuya.

Mostly because she's very strong, otherwise she wouldn't appear in the top 32 of the casino rankings. But there's a difference between strong and very strong.

Not only Hawkeye, but also many of Tayuya's fans think that Tayuya's strength is based on the strange abilities attached to her swordsmanship.

For orthodox kendo practitioners, this kind of swordsmanship with special effects is considered unorthodox. In other words, they do not recognize that Tayuya's swordsmanship has truly reached the level of the top 32.

The struggle between orthodox and left-handed sects and the differences between schools are inevitable everywhere. In addition, Tayu is also a woman, and the road of women in kendo is always more difficult than that of men.

But now all these criticisms were gone. Tayuya's final strike didn't strike the spearmen, but instead slapped their faces.

The spearman's strength was actually decent, but his full-strength strikes could only carve small dents into the arena, a feat paled in comparison to Tayuya's slashing blows. The gully stretched nearly a hundred meters, and his final slash nearly transformed the arena into a library.

Hawkeye thought he could also perform a powerful slash, but he could never act as easily as Tayuya. His heart suddenly felt heavy, because he remembered what Tayuya had said when he wanted to treat her to dinner.

"Let's talk about it after you get a place in this competition. I'll consider it then."

The memory is so clear, as if it happened yesterday.

But how high should this ranking be? It must be higher than the other party. Hawkeye felt the pressure. He was a little confused by the strength that Tayuya showed after obtaining the new weapon.

Shanks and Beckman didn't dare to use Hawkeye this time. Just kidding, Shanks couldn't guarantee he could pull off that attack without using Haki, which made him and Beckman feel insecure.

Regardless, Tayuya's growing strength is a good thing for her fans. The cheers for Tayuya erupted after she left the stage, lingering for a long time. Fortunately, the emcee was experienced enough to guide the audience in time, preventing any disruption to the subsequent competition.
