Swordsmanship Breakthrough

"Use my power to break through your Swordsmanship Cultivation?"

If Hawk Eyes couldn't see through Ye Liangnai's thoughts at this moment, he would truly be unworthy of being the World's Greatest Swordsman!

"That familiar feeling is back!"

Ye Liangnai brandished the Delusion Breaker in her hand, closed her eyes, and whispered.

The sound of the Delusion Breaker trembled with excitement, buzzing incessantly.

"Again, Hawk Eyes!"

Ye Liangnai suddenly opened her eyes and charged at Hawk Eyes once more.

"Bass!"

"Bass!"

"Bass!"

After the breakthrough, the Hawk Eyes in Ye Liangnai's eyes seemed to have suddenly decreased in terms of strength, speed, and aggression.

Hawk Eyes sensed this too!

He felt a bit of pressure; Ye Liangnai had become much more troublesome!

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged hundreds of blows.

"Ha!"

"Ha!"

"Hawk Eyes, let's decide the outcome with this final move!"

Hawk Eyes's strength is too great.

Therefore, even Ye Liangnai couldn't help but feel that her physical strength was greatly depleted, and her arms were extremely sore and numb.

"Bring it on!"

Hawk Eyes remained as calm as ever, but his aura suddenly became several times sharper.

"Then I'm coming!"

Ye Liangnai's originally extremely fierce sword intent suddenly subsided, and then, with a heavy step, she flashed past Hawk Eyes.

Hawk Eyes's longsword swung down with a single stroke.

The two passed each other!

Everything was calm; nothing had happened.

"That's it?"

Lieutenant General 'Momonga', who was watching, was somewhat bewildered. This was a stark contrast to the earth-shattering commotion that had occurred before.

Shouldn't the final move have some kind of fanfare?

"Pfft!"

At that very moment, a cut one finger deep appeared in the Seastone wall behind Hawk Eyes and Ye Liangnai.

Then, with a loud crash, the entire training ground collapsed, cut open and leveled.

Then, a huge gash was torn open in Ye Liangnai's chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Blood splattered on Hawk Eyes's waist as well, and a gash appeared.

"Ahem, as expected of the Great Swordsman!"

Ye Liangnai knelt on the ground, panting and clutching her chest, her breath suddenly becoming several times weaker.

"I lost!"

Ye Liangnai stood up, leaning on her sword, her face deathly pale.

"You... are very good!"

Hawk Eyes's waist injury wasn't particularly serious, but it was one of the few times he had been injured in Hawk Eyes long career.

"Look, the sky... looks like it's been sliced open!"

Suddenly, a marine pointed to the sky and said with a shocked expression.

"Hiss!"

When everyone looked up, many of them gasped in shock.

A massive rift, hundreds of meters long, split open in the sky, causing the clouds to churn and rumble incessantly—a truly astonishing sight.

"Hmm, both of them are monsters. It seems that another formidable figure has joined our Shichibukai team!"

Doflamingo strode away arrogantly.

Then, Boa Hancock and Tyrant Bear also left.

Moria and Blackbeard glanced at Ye Liangnai warily before leaving.

Thank you!

Hearing Hawk Eyes's praise, Ye Liangnai expressed her sincere gratitude.

It wasn't just Hawk Eyes's approval Hawk Eyes helped him break through to level 4 in swordsmanship.

Moreover, Ye Liangnai also gained 900,000 Enhancement Points in this battle!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have automatically upgraded your swordsmanship to level 4, your strength level has increased by 3, and your physical attributes have been improved!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the title 'Sword Master' and your Haki cultivation has improved once again!"

Ye Liangnai's current strength is enough to place her in the upper-middle tier in this world.

Even within the Yonko' pirate crews, he would be considered a calamity.

"Host has been severely injured. Do you wish to spend 300,000 Enhancement Points to repair the wound in order to prevent being ambushed by the enemy and falling into danger?"

Ye Liangnai chose 'Yes'!

He definitely needs to guard against enemy sneak attacks!

That enemy is Blackbeard!

The injury healed quickly.

The speed was faster than Ye Liangnai had imagined; in just two minutes, all of his wounds had healed.

Ye Liangnai's biggest feeling was that she was hungry!

Aside from that, there was absolutely no other reaction.

Sengoku naturally noticed this as well, and his gaze toward Ye Liangnai became even more serious.

After leaving the Marine Headquarters, Ye Liangnai went straight to the commercial area of Marineford, found a decent-looking tavern, and had a good meal.

"This guy ate so much, and he digested it all in an instant!"

In this tavern, there were naturally many marines. After seeing Ye Liangnai's body swell up after eating, it instantly returned to its original shape. They couldn't help but think, "Monster!"

They all naturally recognized Ye Liangnai and understood even more why Sengoku had invited Ye Liangnai to become Shichibukai.

"Will Life Return?"

Inside the tavern, there were also some brigadier generals from headquarters, watching Ye Liangnai's rapid digestion, wondering, "How did he learn that?"

"Could it be that he fought with the Marines? But there doesn't seem to be any record of that!"

Ye Liangnai didn't want to know what these marines were thinking, nor did she care.

After eating and drinking his fill, he left the tavern and headed toward the ships docked in Marineford harbor.

It's time to set sail for the next location of the Poneglyph!

Next stop, Fish-Man Island!

"Come out, Blackbeard. You've been following me for so long, aren't you tired of it?"

As they reached a secluded corner, Ye Liangnai spoke to a dark place behind her.

"Ha ha ha, I didn't expect you to find out even like that. I really should have listened to them and attacked during the day instead of waiting until night!"

Behind Ye Liangnai, Blackbeard grinned as he emerged from the darkness.

"Then... I wonder what you're trying to do by going to such lengths to follow me!"

Ye Liangnai turned around, her hand already on the hilt of her sword, and looked at Blackbeard with a leisurely air.

"Could it be that they're planning to take this opportunity to ambush me?"

Blackbeard laughed upon hearing this, "Heh heh, I did have that idea originally, but..."

He narrowed his eyes. "You didn't give me that chance. I didn't expect your injuries to heal so quickly. Such a serious injury has healed in the blink of an eye!"
