Chapter 597 Master of the Face Fruit Ability 4

Chapter 597 Face Fruit Ability User [Master]★4

I have seen this move before!

Although I complained in my heart, there is still a big difference between Shanks's Divine Evasion and Rayleigh's Divine Evasion.

First of all, there was no Hua Mei Miao to dispel Shanks's Observation Kill this time, which resulted in Xie Wen not being able to determine the final landing point of this sword in advance like he did against Rayleigh. Although he could still block it, it was definitely not the best response plan.

Secondly, Shanks is younger, and Rayleigh had been outlasted by Xie Wen for a while before using the Divine Evasion.

Also, Rayleigh did not use his full strength in the battle with Xie Wen, but Xie Wen is now famous. Even if this time is also a competition, Shanks will not be as reserved as Rayleigh.

The last and most important point is...

Shanks's Conqueror Haki is of higher quality. Although that thing has no effect on Xie Wen, the effect is very obvious when it is transformed into a Domination Attack.

This is why Xie Wen, who is now stronger, feels more pressure than when he was in the Sabaody Archipelago.

However, it was this pressure that finally allowed Xie Wen to find the key to unlocking the Bushido style!

"Huh——"

Xie Wen, who originally planned to defend with the mirror flower structure, let out a long breath. After quickly swinging his left arm, Dodos gave himself a buff of a smooth posture, and immediately put the fresh sword, Shiragi, to his waist, and made the Iai sword-sheathing action.

Monster Hunter Style, Secret, Iai, Sun Eclipse!

With the blessing of Link's time, Xie Wen's sword-drawing speed is not inferior to Shanks's divine avoidance. The "white" Nagi, who has been dyed black by the armed color, faces the Griffin in Shanks's hand with an indomitable momentum.

"Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka..."

Just like when he fought Kaido, although Xie Wen did not have the Conqueror Haki, the black lightning that only appeared when the Conqueror Haki collided still appeared between Bai Nagi and Griffin.

The clouds in the sky did not change much, because in the previous collision with Hua Mei Miao, the clouds above this uninhabited island had long been dispersed.

"Clang--!"

Whether it was Xie Wen's Sun Eclipse or Shanks's Divine Evasion, they were all known for their speed, so almost at the same time as the black lightning appeared, Bai Nagi and Griffin had already collided with each other.

"..."

"Boom--!"

After a brief silence, a huge shock wave erupted with the two people fighting as the center, sweeping around.

And at the moment when the two swords collided, Xie Wen also felt the cry of Bai Nagi in his hand, and he even had the illusion that Bai Nagi would break in the next second. Although it was only a flash, the feeling was extremely clear.

Then...

It was gone.

Xie Wen originally thought that he would be chopped away by Shanks, or cut by his sword energy, but in fact, nothing happened. His full-strength attack was actually on par with Shanks's divine avoidance...

Red Hair still held back? But this is unreasonable? I haven't even established a relationship with him yet.

With such doubts, Xie Wen and Shanks withdrew their swords at the same time and took two steps back to distance themselves.

"Oh my, young people nowadays are really amazing..." Shanks made a sword flower and asked curiously: "With your strength, you don't need to hide from Kaido at all, or did you become stronger after fighting Kaido?"

Although he didn't master the "ultimate secret" of this world like Xie Wen, Shanks could also draw the conclusion based on his experience that "there is a certain probability that your strength will increase greatly after fighting with a strong person."

After all, this is how he got here.

Xie Wen nodded, and then asked back: "You just held back? Why do you feel that you are a little weaker than the other two Four Emperors?"

Shanks' face darkened, and he said indignantly: "Don't compare me with those two monsters! My fighting style is different from theirs!"

As if to prove that what he said was true, he attacked Xie Wen again.

Although he did not use the God Avoidance again, Shanks' speed did not decrease much, and because of the Observation Kill, Xie Wen could not respond easily.

However, Xie Wen also figured out what the fight just now was like...

In fact, it was Xie Wen himself who misunderstood. Because Xie Wen's strength was at a disadvantage in the previous battles with Kaido and Big Mom, including when facing Garp and Rayleigh, he habitually thought that he would be knocked away when fighting with Tyrant.

But in fact, with his current strength, when he has stacked up the Monster Hunter buff, he is not much behind Shanks in terms of strength, not to mention that he has a broken arm. If Xie Wen changes to holding the sword with both hands, he will have an advantage in strength.

And Shanks is just as he said, he is not in the same style as Kaido and BIG·MOM. He does not have the monster body that is invulnerable to swords and guns like the two, and he is also much weaker in terms of strength. What really allows Shanks to have an equal dialogue with them is his superior agility and speed, his Observation Kill, and his Conqueror Haki...

In terms of style, he is like an enhanced version, or a mature version of Rayleigh.

If we take game characters as an example, Kaido and BIG·MOM are warriors with high defense and high blood, while Shanks is an assassin with high attack and high agility.

Of course, this is only relative. After all, every pirate is a strong man. Even the "assassin" has the same tenacity as the Saint Seiya.

After figuring out Shanks' situation, Xie Wen decisively switched his weapon to a one-handed weapon. He held the "Sakura Ten" that he had just acquired in one hand, and the kite-shaped shield made of "Ibuki Alloy" in the other hand, and then used the Monster Hunter Style·Hunter Dance to fight a war of attrition with him.

In fact, from the perspective of training, continuing to fight Shanks with the katana is the most rewarding choice, but on the one hand, the Bushido style that Xie Wen has been thinking about has been successfully opened, and the gains from this fight are enough for him. On the other hand, he is also worried about the encouragement (wei) (xie) of Haibara Meow before... After all, he really doesn't want to try the Satan Potion again.

As for the third point...

Monster Hunter Style·Ultimate·Perfect Shield Counter!

Xie Wen, who was struggling under Shanks' attack, finally seized the opportunity and used his shield to bounce the opponent's big stumble, and then slashed with a knife.

Although Shanks had responded immediately, he was still scratched on the ribs by Xie Wen.

"What kind of move is this?! Why didn't Mihawk tell me?!"

Shanks, who had always had the upper hand, didn't expect that he would be injured first, and he couldn't help asking.

"Because when I was sparring with Mihawk, I never used a shield."

The successful stealer Cang Lanxing explained proudly: "After all, he was only interested in swordsmanship, so I only asked him for swordsmanship... and this move made Rayleigh, the cunning guy, suffer a great loss. You just got a little scratch, which is already very powerful."

"Humph, you can only succeed this time!"

Shanks was not comforted at all, but felt that Xie Wen was being sarcastic.

However, just as he was about to continue attacking Xie Wen, he saw that the other party put away the weapon and shield in his hand.

"No more fighting, no more fighting, you have seen my swordsmanship, and I have also seen your swordsmanship, I am not your opponent, I admit defeat!"

The despicable Blue Star adhered to the principle of running away after taking advantage, and decisively ended the fight.

Shanks: "..."
