Iron Lump, Let Me Broaden Your Horizons

"Guns can still be kept around, at least a little!"

Anna murmured, then followed Xia Zhiqing out the door!

"So you finally dared to come out? I thought you were too scared to show yourself!"

The moment they appeared, Xia Zhiqing and Anna were surrounded by a group of Marines!

And that effeminate man was actually a Marine vice admiral!

"You probably won't be taking the Devil Fruit. I've already eaten it!"

"And if you don't want to die, I'll give you three seconds to get out of my way!"

Xia Zhiqing stared at the man coldly as he spoke!

"Hmph, arrogant! Do you really think having a bounty of three hundred million means you're all that strong?"

"Today, I'll show you what true strength is!"

"Kid, it doesn't matter if you ate it. The Celestial Dragon needs a female slave anyway! This woman is quite pretty, perfect for the role. The Celestial Dragon will surely be delighted!"

The effeminate man drew the longsword at his waist. "It is your honor to die by Sleeve Blood, one of the fifty Skillful Grade Blades!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the effeminate man's gaze turned sharp, and he raised his hand to unleash a sword wave!

He was actually a swordmaster!

"A Skillful Grade Blade? Heh, then I wonder how it compares to my treasured blade!"

Xia Zhiqing grabbed the Iron Lump, stomped forward heavily, and, wrapped in lightning, launched a full-force strike!

This Marine vice admiral had a combat power of 175!

Xia Zhiqing did not find him difficult to handle!

Boom!

The sword wave exploded, blasting Xia Zhiqing back several steps!

"What incredible strength. No wonder he's a vice admiral!"

Xia Zhiqing steadied himself and could not help but remark!

"Hahaha, kid, prepare to die! Remember this old man's name: Fokichi!"

The effeminate man was named Fokichi. A powerful sword intent erupted from his body!

"A swordmaster? Perfect. I've really wanted to copy some swordsmanship lately!"

The Sharingan activated. The copying began!

Clang!

Facing the charging Fokichi, Xia Zhiqing fearlessly swung the Iron Lump to meet him head-on!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Xia Zhiqing did not use any other moves. He relied solely on the immature swordsmanship he had copied not long ago to fight back!

As a result, he was full of openings!

Many wounds immediately appeared across Xia Zhiqing's body, and he was completely at a disadvantage!

"Hahaha, what's wrong, Thunder Hunter? Are you already done for?"

"I remember you were awfully arrogant just now! Why aren't you keeping it up?"

Fokichi roared as Sleeve Blood repeatedly slammed heavily against Xia Zhiqing's Iron Lump, driving Xia Zhiqing back again and again!

The Iron Lump kept cracking and breaking apart!

"Die!"

"Die!"

Fokichi roared and swung his blade, unleashing terrifying sword waves that forced Xia Zhiqing into a desperate struggle for survival!

"What's wrong? Come on, show some spirit! Bring out that momentum you had earlier!"

"Hahaha, a piece of scrap metal paired with trash. What a perfect match!"

Watching Xia Zhiqing dodge in a miserable state, covered in wounds, Fokichi was immensely pleased with himself!

Splat!

Splat!

Xia Zhiqing's movements grew slower and slower, and he became less and less able to react!

Countless wounds were torn across his body by the sword waves, making his breathing increasingly ragged!

"Die!"

He suddenly closed in, his sharp blade gleaming with a chilling light as he brought it down in a crushing strike!

And Xia Zhiqing could not react at all!

"No!!"

Seeing this, Anna immediately let out a despairing cry!
