Chapter 25: Iai: Knight's Elegy
On the patrol ship. Google search reading
Coles is still resisting.
After all, people only develop great motivation when they are under pressure!
If he really couldn't hold on any longer, he would summon [Lanlos].
Stab!
On the deck, the hard wooden boards were constantly torn apart by Crowe's attacks.
Coles' Shadow Shield can only provide one-sided defense. Facing this all-round chaotic attack, it cannot defend at all.
hiss!
Ten-blade cat claws appear in front.
Coles quickly turned his head, but still slowed down. A wound appeared on his fair cheek, and red blood flowed out from the wound.
Damn it!
Coles cursed secretly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about Crowe who was using the spoon.
Now he can only be beaten passively.
Not far from the patrol ship, the Black Cat Pirates' pirate ship was docked quietly on the sea. The image on its bow was a lifelike black cat.
This is the Baiji Braku!
Hypnotist Zangao stood on the bow deck, watching the patrol ship not far away.
Because of the captain's recent reputation, the Black Cat Pirates have been frequently captured by the navy and bounty hunters. In desperation, the captain took them into the waters near the windless zone.
This sea area is extremely dangerous, and navy and bounty hunters rarely appear here.
But they didn't expect that they would encounter navy patrol ships in marginal waters like the windless zone.
Everything is really going wrong!
"Let's go, the captain has taken care of those navy, we can go over and clean up the loot."
After Zangao saw Captain Crowe using his special move "Spoon" on the patrol ship, he slowly put down the telescope in his hand.
"Captain is mighty!"
The pirates on the ship immediately cheered, and then drove the pirate ship closer to the patrol ship.
On the patrol ship.
Coles' condition continued to decline.
He won't be able to hold on for a while at most. If he can't find a way to crack Crowe's "spoon" by then, then he can only summon [Lanlos] to deal with the opponent.
The deck is not far away.
Kahn also understood Coles' idea of using battle to improve his strength, and reminded him aloud.
"Coles, if you want to upgrade from basic swordsmanship to precision swordsmanship, in addition to proficiency and practice, your own perception of the outside world is particularly important."
"You now need to feel the movement and stillness of the outside world, feel the breathing of things, and feel the beating of life!"
After hearing Major Kahn's words, Coles' originally anxious mood gradually calmed down. He closed his eyes and began to observe his surroundings with the enhanced sensitivity of the Shadow Fruit.
In the dark world, there is the howling of the cold wind, the movement caused by Crow's attack, and the faint sound of breathing from other sailors after they are unconscious...
Bah!
There was another wound on the back.
The severe pain made Coles frown, but he continued to sense.
Major Kahn's teachings also continued to come.
"It's very difficult to maintain sensing during interference, but when you can accurately sense everything around you, you can also lock on to your enemies."
Coles continued to sense.
Under the teachings of Major Kahn, he felt very calm at this time, even like the empty meditation before.
in this strange state.
He gradually became aware of everything around him, including his own heartbeat and breathing.
In addition, he could also sense the traces of Crow's rapid movement.
Coles began to lean back, holding the scabbard with his left hand and the handle with his right hand. He was ready to attack at any time!
The boards kept breaking!
That's where Crow Spoon's unconscious attack goes.
Coles opened his eyes suddenly, and a ray of light flashed in his blue eyes.
At the same time, his figure rushed out.
The famous sword is unsheathed!
Uh-huh!
An extremely bright sword light suddenly appeared on the patrol ship.
Crowe's original state of extremely fast movement that belonged to a spoon was instantly broken.
His figure stopped stiffly in place.
And Coles' figure had already rushed ten meters away from Crowe.
"Iai·Knight's Elegy!"
Coles changed the position of holding the knife in his hand and slowly put the embers back into the scabbard.
Behind him, Crowe's expression turned into horror, because a very long knife wound appeared on his chest, and blood suddenly spurted out from it.
boom!
In the end, Crowe's body fell weakly onto the deck, and his breathing became extremely weak.
After confirming that Crowe was defeated, Coles' originally tense mood relaxed.
However, his consciousness suddenly went dark and he fell directly into sleep.
After all, it took a huge amount of mental energy to summon [Lanlos] and [Shadow Knight] before, and he had just endured Crowe's spoon attack unilaterally, and he could no longer hold on mentally.
Kahn felt a little relieved when he saw Coles killing Crowe with one blow. He knew that Coles had entered the level of precise swordsmanship.
In two months, I went from being proficient in basic swordsmanship to stepping into precise swordsmanship.
Coles' swordsmanship talent can be said to be the best he has ever encountered.
As for how far Coles will go in the future, Kahn is not sure. After all, it is just the beginning of this young man.
Calm returned to the patrol ship.
But it's not over yet.
Because there is still a problem that has not been solved!
On the sea not far away, the ship of the Black Cat Pirates was slowly approaching the patrol ship.
If these pirates were allowed to step onto the patrol ship, the navy on the ship would be in great danger.
Kahn gritted his teeth and stood up from the deck, walked step by step towards Coles, and finally picked up his saber.
It's his turn to fight alone again!
Kahn reluctantly leaned against the cabin, thinking helplessly.
His current injuries were extremely serious. If he had to take action, his injuries would inevitably increase.
But these were no longer in his consideration.
Because he was the navy and the instructor.
Now the recruits' recruit period has not yet ended.
He needs to protect all the navy recruits, which is his responsibility.
In the first lesson of the navy, he talked to these navy recruits.
Protection is the first obligation of the navy!
The pirate ship and the patrol ship were connected, and Zangao could also see the situation on the patrol ship at this time, but this situation was different from what he imagined.
Shouldn't Captain Cloe kill all the other navy?
But why is the captain lying on the deck now and being defeated?
Who is it? !
Zangao's eyes swept across the patrol ship and finally locked onto Kahn who was still standing.
"You defeated our captain?"
Kahn did not answer.
Zangao thought that the other party was acquiescing, and directly waved his hand and gave an order.
"Go, avenge the captain."
The pirates of the Black Cat Pirates were immediately excited and rushed towards Kahn with their weapons in hand.
"Kill!"
Kahn's expression condensed, and he used precise swordsmanship to kill the pirates who rushed over one by one.
The pirates fell one after another.
Screams rang out!
Facing such a powerful navy, the pirates of the Black Cat Pirates gradually showed fear and did not even dare to move forward.
"Keep going, he can't hold on for long!"
Zangao continued to order from behind.
"Follow me."
Sam, the cat brother of the Black Cat Pirates, jumped up from the ship and attacked Kahn with the "Cat Killing Jump Impact".
Bang!
Kahn quickly dodged.
A deep dent was immediately smashed on the deck.
On the other side, the thin Sam disguised himself as an ordinary pirate, deceiving Kahn with a timid appearance, waiting for an opportunity to attack!
On the patrol ship.
The battle collided again.
Although Kahn's attack was fierce, his serious injuries were rapidly getting worse. The blood broke through the wound again, and the white bandage turned red.
If this continued.
His injuries would become extremely serious.
But in order to protect the navy on the ship, Kahn had no way out. With his seriously injured body, he started a difficult battle with the entire Black Cat Pirates.
…
Early morning.
Mod woke up from his sleep.
The intense blood in the air made him feel strongly uneasy.
He quickly stood up from the ground and quickly looked at the situation on the patrol ship.
The patrol ship, which was originally empty, was now filled with the corpses of pirates, and the blood had already dyed the floor red.
When Mod saw the situation in front of him, his eyes suddenly shrank.
In the center of the battlefield.
Major Kahn was standing stubbornly.
The reason why he was called stubborn was that Major Kahn's whole body was already stained with blood, and his mental state had reached a dangerous critical point, but he still insisted on not fainting.
"Major, what happened last night? What happened to your injuries?" Mod asked tremblingly.
Kahn didn't say much about what happened last night, but patted Mod on the shoulder and ordered: "Nothing big happened last night. The patrol ship will be handed over to you for the time being. I want to rest!"
Then, Kahn's consciousness finally couldn't support it anymore, and he fell into a coma directly.
