On the training ground, smoke and dust were flying.
The two people who were just at loggerheads with each other are now like good brothers.
Gion was immersed in the previous sword strike, as if lost in thought...
How could...
Impossible...
Why does the Captain of the West Blue branch also use this trick?
Just as she was lost in her memories, Alan came up to her and interrupted her:
"Then... Captain Gion, would you like to test my Swordsmanship as well?"
Gion came back to her senses and began to look at Alan, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity.
"Captain Alan, may I ask who taught you swordsmanship?"
Who taught me?
Who else could it be...my own golden finger?
A trace of doubt flashed in Alan's eyes.
"...Why do you ask?"
Gion came back to her senses, clenched her fists, and said seriously:
"I've seen this style of swordsmanship before, and... the famous sword in your hand!"
Upon hearing this, Kake looked at the knife in Alan's hand in disbelief.
"...How is that possible?"
"Gion, are you remembering it wrong? This sword looks very ordinary..."
To outsiders, this sword seems too ordinary. Look at Whitebeard's Murakumogiri and Gion's Kinpira.
The appearance is totally disproportionate.
No, Alan is such a rich guy, even if he can't find the supreme sword...it won't be an ordinary katana!
How can I repair it! It's okay to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but the knife in my hand is also...
On the contrary, when Alan heard what Gion said, a hint of solemnity flashed across his eyes. Although he seemed calm on the surface, a thousand horses were galloping in his heart.
Could it be that there was a time traveler before me? That would be difficult to deal with.
The same sword... the same breathing style of swordsmanship!
Forget it... There's no point thinking about this now.
"This sword is something I acquired by chance, and of course the swordsmanship as well."
"Let's begin, Captain Gion..."
After saying this, Alan turned around and walked towards the other side of the training ground...
Gion began to carefully look at the figure in front of her, and it slowly overlapped with the figure deep in her memory.
Whether it's the back view or the way he holds the knife, it seems...
Maybe it was because Alan was very similar to the person in her impression, so her attitude had changed a little.
Gion also came back to her senses, her eyes gradually became firm, and she muttered to herself:
".....How could this guy Alan be him? It's just a coincidence!"
The reminiscence in Gion's eyes was gradually replaced by a strong desire to fight.
moment!!
Gion's figure disappeared from the spot like a pink phantom.
Compared to Kake's ferocious outburst, Gion's movements are obviously more agile and graceful, bringing the advantages of the softness of the female body to the extreme.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the famous golden sword Kinpira appeared in her hand, and the blade shone with dazzling brilliance.
Gion knew that the man in front of her could easily defeat Kake, and his strength should be no weaker than the major general of the headquarters, but they represented the majesty of the headquarters, and it would be too ridiculous to desert the battlefield.
You can lose! But you can't escape!
"Watch out, Colonel Alan!!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a pink slash appeared in front of Alan.
"Flying Slash?... Has she really reached the level of a swordsman?"
Alan looked at the fierce slashing in front of him and pulled out the "Ryūjin Jakka".
The next second, Alan used the blade to block the sharp blow.
clang!!
There came a crisp sound of metal colliding with metal from the sword.
"...Wow! Captain Gion is so cool! So beautiful!"
"Captain Alan is so handsome..."
"...Captain Alan is handsome, rich, and powerful!"
The private discussions of the surrounding naval soldiers were heard word for word by Kake who was watching the battle nearby.
Kake's face was full of black lines and his expression became distorted.
Damn it, just praise Gion...why are you praising that guy Alan again!
It's obvious that I'm the more handsome one.
Did he lose the competition?
It must be because the navy respects the strong. It must not be because he is more handsome than me!
Damn it, I will definitely win it back next time!
In the training ground, Alan exerted force with his hands to break up the incoming slash.
At this moment, a fragrant breeze blew, and a peach-colored figure appeared in front of Alan.
A classic Iai-slash pose from Gion is presented before our eyes...
not good.....
If you're not careful at this distance, you might get hurt!
It turns out that the flying slash just now was just a feint, mainly to force Alan to reveal a flaw... and this move now is the real attack!
The next second, a flash of cold light...
"Ittō-ryū: Iai!!"
The imagined scene did not appear...
clang!!
There was a sound of metal rubbing against each other, and the sparks were fleeting...
Gion's eyes widened and then her pupils shrank.
How is it possible!?
She looked at Alan in front of her with astonishment, and for a moment she didn't react.
How did he do that!?
How could he possibly react at such a close distance?!
Just then she saw the person in front of her smile.
"As expected of an elite marine from headquarters, she's already a master swordsman at such a young age!"
Upon hearing this, Gion's cold cheeks turned red with shame, and she glared at Alan fiercely.
Is this humiliating? You seem younger!
She came to her senses and jumped away, holding the Kinpira tightly with both hands, looking at Alan warily.
Alan held the knife in one hand and walked forward casually step by step...
brush!!
So fast!!
Suddenly, Alan disappeared. In Gion's eyes, he saw Alan's figure turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot.
"....left!!"
Gion's eyes narrowed, and Kinpira slashed to her left.
clang!!
Their swords clashed and began to confront each other.
At this moment, Gion's face changed drastically. She felt a powerful force surging, and her whole body was like being hit by a truck, flying backwards like a cannonball.
Boom boom boom!!!
Alan swung his sword with such powerful force that the sword energy cut a crack more than ten meters long on the ground!
Gion rolled over several times before she was able to control her body with difficulty, leaving two long scratches on the ground.
A cloud of dust stretched over twenty meters in front of Alan.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Gion's mouth, and the hand holding the knife was shaking constantly.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Gion stared at Alan in the distance in disbelief, her heart filled with shock and fear.
This guy...how can he be so strong!!
His swordsmanship is so strong that even his physical fitness is like a monster!!
As a rising star in the navy, Gion had never been so embarrassed even when fighting against the brigadier general and major general of the headquarters.
Now she is being crushed by someone younger than her?
"Then.....Game over!"
Alan made a sword flower and sheathed the knife in one go.
Looking at Gion kneeling on the ground at this time, his eyes couldn't help but light up!
That long, snow-white thing...Pah!
That glittering ball of light...
Alan came to Gion very gentlemanly and extended a hand.
"Beautiful lady, please stand up!"
Looking at the blond Alan with a smile in front of her, Gion felt as if her heart was hit by something. (For details, please refer to Little Sun of Konohagakure)
With a touch of blush on her face, she placed her hand in Alan's...
