Flying Slash, learned in a few minutes?

Ares's heart pounded with excitement, and a strong yearning and desire suddenly arose within him.

Suddenly.

He had only one thought in his mind: he felt he should practice swordsmanship!

He would definitely become the strongest swordsman on this sea!

It was a strong, innate confidence.

Ares's voice was hoarse with excitement, "Golden Lion, I want to learn swordsmanship!"

That slash was so handsome and dashing!

Its power was even more unimaginable.

It captivated Ares.

At this moment, the scene of the Golden Lion unleashing that slash replayed in his mind, frame by frame.

From the moment the Golden Lion gripped his sword until the golden slash shaved off the mountaintop.

Over and over again.

From the angle and speed of the strike to the force exerted by his arm, every detail was deeply absorbed by Ares's brain.

After slowing it down, Ares also understood the power of Shiki the Golden Lion, the power of that slash!

It was just a casual strike, but it contained not only various techniques but also powerful and swift force.

Seeing Ares's impatient and enthusiastic appearance, the Golden Lion couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Jie hahaha... Now you know the power of swordsmanship!"

"Ares, you will be lucky for today's actions in the future!"

"It will be your life's fortune to have me, a dual-sword-style great swordsman, personally guide you in swordsmanship!"

Ochoku patted his shoulder, his eyes full of hope, and said earnestly, "Learn well from Shiki, if you can learn all his swordsmanship."

"Your name, Ares, will be sung throughout this sea!"

Then he looked at Shiki the Golden Lion and said with a smile, "Hehe, Ares is temporarily in your hands, I'll go back first."

The Golden Lion was going to teach Ares swordsmanship, so he tactfully chose to leave.

But just as he turned around, a blue light stimulated his eyes.

He heard a whooshing sound!

A gust of wind beat against him, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look, exclaiming in shock, "Flying... Slash... Flying Slash?!"

A blue slash several meters in size flew out.

With a bang, it crashed into a large tree, making an explosion-like sound and knocking the tree down.

"Wh-What??" The Golden Lion also widened his eyes, his voice drawn out in surprise!

"This kid has already learned Flying Slash?!"

At this moment, the Golden Lion was deeply shocked. Ares had used only a few minutes to unleash -- Flying Slash with "his own arm"!!!

The two of them were dumbfounded!

Gulp.

Ochoku swallowed, and asked the Golden Lion with a somewhat unnatural expression, "Shiki, how long did it take you to learn Flying Slash?!"

His question made the Golden Lion fall into reminiscence, after all, it was a long time ago, but the impression of comprehending Flying Slash was still very deep for him.

He immediately answered Ochoku's question, "It took about two or three years!"

Then the Golden Lion asked Ochoku, "How long did it take you?"

"Four years!" Ochoku replied in a solemn tone.

His heart was filled with deep shock. He had spent four years to comprehend and learn Flying Slash from a swordsman who used a sword, but Ares had only spent a few minutes, which simply refreshed their understanding.

At this moment, Ares frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction, "No, it's too different from the slash you just unleashed."

"Could it be because my body can't compare to a famous sword?"

The Golden Lion's slash was enough to flatten a mountain peak, and the cut surface was smooth and flat, like a mirror.

His slash was very violent and barbaric, like a "cannonball," not cutting, but exploding.

Then, Ares watched and replayed the Golden Lion's swordplay in his mind, while also gesturing with his own arm.

He used his thick and sturdy arm as a sword, and a strong airflow formed a gust of wind that dissipated as he swung it.

Accompanied by a huffing sound.

It was the sound of a huge iron rod being swung quickly.

As Ares's arm bent and rose, dazzling blue sword lights flew out from his arm, landing on the ground in the distance with a rumbling sound.

It also made the Golden Lion and Ochoku step aside slightly. Ochoku couldn't help but exclaim, "Shiki, don't you think this guy's slash is very similar to the Rokushiki used by the Marines?!"

Hearing him say this, Shiki the Golden Lion also nodded in agreement, "However, Ares's slash is not Rankyaku from Rokushiki, his slash is not sharp enough!"

"This causes this guy's slashing power to not be concentrated enough, so it causes an explosion like a bomb!"

Then, with a touch of emotion, he exclaimed, "Even so, it's already astonishing. Ares has only just started with swordsmanship. Such enviable talent!"

"This talent is terrifying. I underestimated Ares. Moreover, his path of swordsmanship is destined to be full of thorns." Ochoku's eyes were fixed on Ares.

His expression also shifted, as those slashes began to grow even more powerful. With Ares' repeated attempts and alterations, the power of his slashes was rapidly increasing!!

A storm raged in his heart as he marveled, "If this guy continues to grow, his body will transform into an incredibly fearsome weapon!!"

Shiki the Golden Lion, standing nearby, was overjoyed. His eyes shone brightly as he burst into laughter, "Jie hahaha... I told you he was a man born for the sword!!"

"Swordsmanship in Ares' hands will surely unleash a light that will shake the world!"

His domineering eyes held a strong expectation and a hint of pride in his accomplishment. A new star of swordsmanship was rising before him, one that would surely illuminate the entire sea in the future.

Ochoku nodded in agreement, stroking his beard to calm the shock in his heart, and commented, "Ares' talent is earth-shattering. His joining the Rocks Pirates might just be fate's guidance!!"

"The Rocks Pirates will be the most suitable soil for his growth!"

He turned to look at Golden Lion and said with some envy, "If I had known Ares' swordsmanship talent was this strong, I should have taught him swordsmanship first."

"I'll be leaving now. I won't disturb you teaching him swordsmanship."

After Ochoku left.

Golden Lion strode up to Ares, the difference in height forcing him to tilt his head slightly, "Ares, now you know the power of swordsmanship, right? And there are even more benefits to practicing swordsmanship."

"Practicing swordsmanship not only cultivates physical agility and dexterity but also develops a person's instantaneous reaction and endurance, and so on."

"And practicing swordsmanship isn't just physical training. It can also have a powerful effect on the mind, strengthening concentration and decisiveness."

He felt it necessary to tell Ares the benefits of practicing swordsmanship to motivate this guy to practice diligently and seriously.

Practicing swordsmanship does indeed have many benefits.

Shiki the Golden Lion has a great deal of say in this matter. He has spent more than a decade practicing swordsmanship, and the benefits it has brought him are immense.

After listening to Golden Lion's earnest explanation, Ares' expression also became serious, and he said in a firm tone, "I will practice swordsmanship diligently!"

Then, filled with lofty sentiments and confidence, he said in a sonorous and forceful voice:

"I will become a swordsman stronger than anyone else!!"
