The Strongest Swordsman In One Piece

Chapter 20's

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Very strong, senior is indeed a powerful swordsman!"

El, whose flying slash was forcibly stopped, looked at Koushirou, who was still holding the sword with one hand and slightly grinning at the corner of his mouth.

"At your age, I was still a child who could only use a bamboo sword." Koushirou shook his head and said.

His tone was, other than age, he had nothing to be proud of.

Even Koushirou did not hesitate if he was as young as El, or El as old as him.

With El's unusually strong sword talent and physique, he, a mediocre swordsman, was definitely not El's opponent.

But this world has no ifs.

Although El has three major talents that the world cares about, out of his three talents, swordsmanship falls into the category of battle and growth.

moreover, Haki's observation and return to life was actually a supporting and growth type talent, and it took El's time and effort to develop.

Just like the 'superhuman' who played in the basketball league in his previous life, many people had historical level talent, but they all needed to develop their talent before they could become superstars.

El needs to develop his talent fully before he can stand on top of the world.

But now, he was still a climber.

And the person standing in front of him was an existence that was very close to the peak.

With El's current strength, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't be Kousirou's opponent.

clang clang...

Although his observation haki had told him that he was unable to defeat Koushirou.

El also did not give up, but held his sword with both hands and continued to attack Koushirou.

Each strike tore through the air stream, it was a slash that could easily pierce through steel.

It's not an exaggeration to say...

Unless it was a capable person, even a fishman whose physique was ten times stronger than a human would be cut in half by the sword when standing in front of El.

Just like before, if El's slash was unobstructed, the torn air stream would turn into a flying slash within a few minutes, flying forward for an unknown number of meters.

It was a pity that Kuina and Zoro did not have the blessing to witness the legendary flying slash.

Every slash of El was blocked by Koushirou easily.

But before long, Koushirou who had suppressed his strength to the same level as El, suddenly felt a slight 'pressure'.

He saw that El's attack speed was getting faster, as if he knew how Koushirou's sword would block his own attack.

As soon as the first slash fell, El had already cooperated with Koushirou's defense, plucking out the power from the sword, and quickly swung the second slash.

he did not know if it was an illusion, where El's second knife attack occurred where Koushirou showed a small flaw that would definitely occur with one sword in hand.

In this case, the depth of Koushirou's eyes once again showed a rare look of surprise.

This surprise was not because El found his flaws,

Such a prediction, does it mean...

As if confirming his guess, Koushirou took it seriously.

An invisible Haki spread from his body.

At this moment, El's attack in the next second was accurately predicted by Koushirou.

El, who had just discovered a slight 'advantage', immediately felt the mountain pressure again. The shadow of the blocked attack or the mistake of his prediction, made the boy's face show a trace of 'surprise'.

Seeing this expression, Koushirou confirmed his thoughts.he sighed and said with a slight tremble in his voice, "I didn't expect that at your age, you've mastered the power of Haki's Observation."

"...Haki's observation, what is it?"

If before the fight, El wanted to challenge this Master Swordsman and feel the gap between himself and the Master Swordsman.

Then after the first Exchange, El's fighting spirit had disappeared.

Because it doesn't need to be anymore.

Unless Koushirou presses him and fights him wholeheartedly, El will get nothing.

Yet...

He and Koushirou were unrelated and he was still a challenger, so how could the other party guide El wholeheartedly?

Hence, from the very beginning, El did not expect to learn swordsmanship from a master swordsman, but to be able to use the Haki Armament.

The Haki Observation Exposition was deliberately done by El.

The goal was to obtain the Haki Armament.

"...Haki Observation is the pre-judgmental ability you just used."

'heartache' Koushirou could not help but get worse when he sees El, who seems to be the darling of the world.

However, the greater the regret in his heart, the greater his appreciation towards El.

He was temporarily trapped in the East Blue 'little pond', but he would definitely leap over the dragon gate in the future and become one of the greatest swordsmen in the world. So He wanted to tell her some information about Haki that he could only contact when he entered the Grand Line.

"In this world, few people can transform spiritual energy such as momentum, murderous aura, and fighting spirit into a force to help themselves or attack enemies."

"And this kind of power has three categories under Haki"

Pointing at El with a sword, Koushirou said, "Your pre-judgment attack just now that was blocked by me the ability you just used is called Haki observation"

"It turns out that everyone also has this kind of ability, I think this kind of ability is only possessed by me in this world."

El pretended to be a little surprised, and then asked curiously: "under three categories? what about the other two?"

"The other two types of Haki are Armaments and Conqueror Haki..."

If El did not have the Haki Observation, no matter how talented he was, Koushirou would not have given him the knowledge of Haki.

The reason why East Blue was called the weakest sea was because of the people here, except for a few lucky people who had once eaten a Devil Fruit, all of them are ordinary people with good physical fitness or good skills in a particular field.

The early exposure of the common man to the knowledge of the extraordinary world is clearly more dangerous than beneficial.

After all, not everyone was a traveler like El.

They were born in East Blue, and their vision was limited to East Blue.

Being exposed to the knowledge of the extraordinary world first would easily hit their fighting spirit, which would actually harm them and prevent them from awakening their Haki.

If you have awakened, or have mastered one of the Haki, it will be different.

Awakening Haki, meaning that the other party had already felt an invisible feeling.

Mastering some sort of Haki meant that the other party could already understand those feelings at first.

Other than Haki who needed 'Fate', as long as one awakened one of the Observation Haki or Armament Haki, the others could also be resurrected very quickly.

El actually did not need to know, he did not need to ask Koushirou for advice at all.

Because he was born with a powerful Observation Haki.

As long as his physical fitness grew to a certain level, his Haki Armament would naturally awaken.

But it is also a good thing to have someone to guide you, and that will save you from a difficult path.

And now, Koushirou is guiding El.

However, to prevent Kuina and Zoro from eavesdropping not far away, Koushirou deliberately controlled her voice and used a voice that only two people could hear to tell the other two types of haki to El.
