Chapter 1325 Sword Skills
"Wait a minute... Why do you have such an idea? Even an ordinary sword fighter is 'hard' enough, and you know how much extra trouble your bloodline will bring you, right?" Gulu Shi said seriously.
"I know! That's why...I want to use my power to reverse these...and didn't Mr. Soldier say that? Dressrosa is just a paradise disguised as purgatory. If I can become a legendary sword fighter, then... We can attract more like-minded companions to overthrow Doflamingo together!" Rebecca said stubbornly.
In the memory of the people of Dressrosa, there is only King Riku's "cruelty". In order not to make Rebecca feel too much burden, Cyrus briefly explained to Rebecca that Doflamingo What he did and how he framed King Riku made her know that her grandfather was not a tyrant.
"No, your current strength is far from Doflamingo's opponent. Even any cadre of Don Quixote's family can easily defeat you!" Cyrus wanted to undermine Rebecca's self-confidence.
"That's why I should become a sword fighter. This way I can become stronger faster... isn't it?"
Rebecca seemed to have really made a decision and completely ignored Cyrus's persuasion... In other words, Guan Liyuan felt that Cyrus's persuasion was not very strong!
Could it be that... in the original work, Rebecca also made her debut as a sword fighter at the sword fighter competition two years ago?
"Now that you have made a decision, tell me your determination with a sword!" Cyrus said.
I don't know what happened, but the topic "naturally" transitioned to the battle between father and daughter in the open space behind the house. The previous guards did not stay in the slum for too long. There were not many residents here, so there was no need to worry about alerting outsiders.
Guan Liyuan also watched the excitement. Both of them used swords in the competition, but Rebecca used a short sword, and Cyrus only used a "thin sword" that matched the body of his toy soldier.
However, the paths are full of the shadow of the broadsword - after all, Cyrus was a sword fighter before he became a toy, and he was a legendary sword fighter, having won 3,000 consecutive victories.
In an environment like a bullfight arena, unless you are extremely conceited about your own strength, the combination of broad sword + one-handed shield has the highest chance of survival.
"It is worthy of three thousand consecutive victories. Even if there is only one leg left, you can still see the advantages of the skills that have been honed over time. If you can turn into a human body and use Haki, you should not be weaker than ordinary billion-level pirates, right? When you were killed by Granu The sanctions are indeed unfair." Guan Liyuan muttered as he watched.
This is "true, tempered and tempered"!
Of course, the level of swordsmanship is not determined by the number of battles. In terms of skill alone, Guan Liyuan estimates that his migrant workers can still defeat Cyrus - even if he does not kill others or bully others with force. Down!
In comparison, Rebecca was still a lot more immature. After all, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl. If Cyrus hadn't deliberately tricked her, she would have been beaten long ago.
But what is commendable is that in Rebecca's immature swordsmanship at this time, she can already see something other than the shadow of Cyrus...
At least this shows that although Rebecca's swordsmanship is immature, it has the potential to be unconventional.
In terms of style, because they studied under Cyrus, both of them seem to be brave in swordsmanship. However, the difference is that Cyrus's swordsmanship is "indomitable". In comparison, Rebecca is already somewhat The style of "put yourself to death and live again".
Two years later in the original work, Rebecca relied on the "Sword Dance with Back Water" to occupy a place in the arena despite extremely negative popularity, which can also indirectly prove Guan Liyuan's vision...
"Back Water Sword Dance" is a sword skill that forces oneself into a corner and pursues "no killing" against the opponent. That is, waiting for the opponent to take the initiative to attack at the edge of the arena, and then picking the opponent out.
Rebecca's negative popularity is not only due to her royal blood, but also to this "not exciting" fighting method.
Of course, because Rebecca, two years later in the original work, did not understand Haki, and in the end she only realized some Haki at a critical moment, so in terms of hard power, with a group of strong people attracted by the Fire Fruit Among them, they can only be regarded as the bottom batch.
But considering that Rebecca will only be sixteen years old two years later, and Luffy and Zoro only started learning Haki when they were seventeen and nineteen respectively, Rebecca still has plenty of stamina—— Zoro, who is at least sixteen years old, that is, three years ago in the plot, may not be able to defeat Rebecca two years later...
After hundreds of moves, Cyrus knocked the dagger out of Rebecca's hand and said: "With such strength, you will have to suffer in the gladiatorial arena!"
"I am ready!"
"Not just strength..."
"I'm also mentally prepared."
After taking a deep look at Rebecca, Cyrus still respected her choice. As a legendary sword fighter with 3,000 consecutive victories, Cyrus also had an instinctive preference for the gladiatorial arena.
What's more, unlike the original work, Cyrus has another reason to convince himself - if he's lucky, this year's sword fighting competition might be the curtain call for the Don Quixote family!
Seeing Mr. White Tiger watching from the side, Rebecca suddenly asked: "Mr. White Tiger, have you been to the arena? What do you think of my swordsmanship?"
"Um...ahem, I'm actually a toy from out of town. I haven't been to the arena yet. Your swordsmanship...is not bad." Guan Liyuan said.
When Rebecca was six years old, this place became a place where people and "toys" coexisted, so she never thought that toys were weird like this, and she did not question the term "foreign toys".
It's just that Rebecca was a little shocked and a little depressed by Guan Liyuan's "not bad" statement.
"Cough, cough! Mr. White Tiger, Rebecca's swordsmanship is pretty good. You are only good at physical skills, so you may not understand." Cyrus said dissatisfied.
ha? Did you want to hit her just now? Co-authoring your daughter, are you the only one who can attack her? ——Guan Liyuan could not help but curl his lips.
The most important thing is that Cyrus actually said that he was only good at physical skills!
"Considering that it was you who taught her, it's really good that little Rebecca has achieved what she has today!" Guan Liyuan countered.
"'Little' Rebecca?" Cyrus repeated the word "little" while staring at him.
I always feel like... what everyone is paying attention to lately is very strange!
"How about the two of us try it?" Guan Liyuan picked up Rebecca's dagger with a stuffed toy hand.
"This... if we want to compete in swordsmanship..." Cyrus was not completely stupid yet.
Cyrus knew that Guan Liyuan was definitely a "monster". The best evidence was that when he had just led Guan Liyuan to escape from the toy house, when facing the cadres of Don Quixote's family who were pursuing him, Guan Liyuan actually used toys as a He used his armed domineering force and lifted up the floor to block the enemy.
"Don't worry, since it's a swordsmanship test, I won't use more strength than you." Guan Liyuan said.
That's right, Guan Liyuan just couldn't activate the Armed Haki by "normal means", but he could still activate the halo and put it on himself, but the power and range of the halo would be greatly affected.
"Watch it! Rebecca, the real swordsmanship... is to move forward without hesitation!" Cyrus said.
"No, no, no, the real swordsmanship is... When I picked up the sword, I was scared myself..."
As he spoke, Guan Liyuan pointed the edge of his dagger at Cyrus. At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted from his body like a stuffed toy, which made Rebecca's legs weak...
