Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral Geno

Soru!

Hearing Karu's words, Li Yuan instantly dropped the crocodile's corpse, removed the weights from his body, and rushed toward the Sword Hall.

Louis was his master. Over the years, he had carefully taught him swordsmanship and even given him the Marine Six Styles.

It could be said that his current strength was due not only to his own talent, but also to Louis. He held Louis in great respect.

So, upon hearing that there might be news of Louis, he did not even wait for Karu to finish before rushing out.

A rear admiral-class warship had arrived at Fei Qing Island's port, its righteous Marine flag flying from the ship.

Standing at the front of the warship was the newly promoted Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral Geno. A hideous sword scar ran from his left eye to the corner of his right mouth, making him look utterly repulsive.

"Everyone, disembark! Surround the Limitless Sword Hall and drive away all nearby residents. Do not let anyone approach!"

Geno ordered.

"Yes, Rear Admiral Geno."

After the more than one hundred Marines aboard the warship disembarked, they immediately carried out the order.

Before long, the Marines had surrounded the Sword Hall, while Geno arrived before it.

However, the Sword Hall was already deserted. Only Louis remained at its entrance.

"Old man Louis, I finally found you."

As Geno looked at Louis before him, the scar on his face immediately began to ache.

Before joining the Marines, Louis had slashed his face with a single stroke, leaving behind this hideous scar.

From that day onward, Geno had sworn that he would avenge this hatred.

That was why he joined the Marines. He fought pirates, continuously improved his strength, and climbed upward step by step through the ranks.

After ten years, he had finally attained his current position as a rear admiral.

At the same time, he had used the Marine Intelligence Network to discover that Louis was on this island. Thus, he had brought his men here without hesitation.

"You're a Marine, and I'm no pirate. What business do you have with me?"

Louis frowned at the Marines surrounding the Sword Hall. As for Geno, he had already forgotten him. After all, Geno had left no impression on him back then.

"You damned old man, you actually forgot? You actually dared to forget!!!"

Upon hearing Louis's words, Geno's face instantly twisted in fury.

For the past ten years, he had thought of revenge at every moment. Yet the man before him had not even remembered him, his enemy. How could Geno not be enraged by such a deep hatred?

"I'll make you remember exactly who I am!"

Soru!

Shigan!

The enraged Geno skillfully used Soru, vanishing from where he stood. His fingers, tough and sharp as swords, became weapons as they shot toward Louis's heart.

Clang!!!

Louis instinctively raised his sword before his chest to block, but the immense force nearly knocked the weapon from his hand.

With his footing unsteady, Louis was sent flying by the blow and crashed into the Sword Hall behind him.

Boom!!!

Louis smashed a huge hole into the Sword Hall. From the front entrance, the backyard could now be seen.

"Cough, cough!"

Louis got to his feet and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Though he did not know who the other man was, he could now be certain that this was an enemy from his past.

"Hahaha, old man Louis, do you remember who I am now?"

Watching the Louis who had once defeated him now get injured by a single move, Geno felt incomparably exhilarated.

"Old man, it seems you still haven't remembered. Then let me help you recall everything!"

Seeing that Louis's eyes still lacked any sign of realization, Geno said unhappily.

Soru!

Geno burst forward toward Louis. He did not use Shigan, nor did he use his full strength. He simply threw punch after punch, wantonly venting the hatred he had accumulated over the years.

Clang!!!

Louis said nothing, merely raising his sword again and again to block Geno's fists. However, he was weaker than Geno, and he was old. He could not withstand Geno's punches.

Amid the relentless barrage, Louis was continuously injured, blood streaming from his mouth without cease.

Buzzz!!!!

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful Conqueror's Haki swept in from afar like a lightning-filled storm descending from the heavens, instantly enveloping everyone around the Sword Hall.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!!

All the Marines present felt as though their heads had been struck hard by massive iron hammers. Their eyes instantly rolled white, their consciousness blurred, and they collapsed unconscious onto the ground.

Geno, who had been freely venting his hatred, was struck head-on by the sudden Conqueror's Haki, allowing Louis to escape.

"Damn it, how could there be a Conqueror's Haki user here?!"

Geno stared in shock at the figure rapidly rushing toward them from afar. In the blink of an eye, the other party had already neared the Sword Hall.

What shocked Geno the most was that the one releasing Conqueror's Haki was actually just a brat!!!

Li Yuan rushed over at high speed and saw that his master had actually been injured!!!

Conqueror's Haki erupted from him uncontrollably. Intense killing intent surged into his heart, and at that moment, his Conqueror's Haki grew even stronger.

"Brat, don't get full of yourself just because you have Conqueror's Haki. There are plenty of Conqueror's Haki users in the New World. I'm a man who has seen the world!"

As a rear admiral, he had experienced Conqueror's Haki many times. He had even felt Conqueror's Haki stronger than Li Yuan's, so he would not faint from this little bit of Haki.

Rankyaku!!

The moment Li Yuan appeared, Geno gave up on taking revenge against Louis and charged toward Li Yuan instead.

He raised his right leg and kicked with all his might. As his foot tore through the air, it launched a massive thirty-meter-long slash.

Limitless Sword Drawing Technique

Faced with the massive slash, Li Yuan had no intention of dodging. The longsword in its scabbard instantly flew free.

Crack!!!

A sword cry rang out as a fifty-meter-long white slash burst from the longsword. Under the Sword Drawing Technique's slash, the Rankyaku slash was instantly cut apart inch by inch.

"A Swordmaster?"

Seeing his Rankyaku slash severed by that brat's attack, Geno was shocked to discover that the brat's swordsmanship was actually stronger than Louis's. He had reached the realm of a Swordmaster!

Iron Body!

Having come to his senses, Geno saw the enormous slash about to reach him. Unable to dodge, he instinctively used Iron Body to defend himself.

Sshhk!!

The Sword Drawing slash forcefully tore through Geno's Iron Body defense and struck his body.

It left a deep sword wound running from his left chest to the right side of his abdomen, and the powerful force sent Geno flying more than a hundred meters away.

"Master, rest well. Leave this guy to me!"

Li Yuan did not immediately pursue Geno. Instead, he went to Louis's side and helped him up.
