"One-Sword Style: Iaido-Divine Slash!"

"Um!"

At once

At that moment, behind him, Cigar, who always had a smiling expression and was smoking a Yamakaji, quickly drew his sword and rushed towards Kuta with a "whoosh".

Sensing the blade behind him, Kuta turned around and raised his right hand horizontally.

Clang--!

He easily withstood the full force of Yamakaji's attack.

"Well! Not bad speed, but too little strength."

As he spoke, he pushed upwards with all his might, deflecting Yamakaji's knife and causing Yamakaji's body, which was suspended in mid-air, to involuntarily take a step back.

"That's really strong!"

Yamakaji felt the power from the blade, his smiling expression froze, and his small eyes widened slightly.

Kuta didn't stop; he quickly sheathed his sword and bent his knees.

Looking up at the Yamakaji, this guy, due to his strong yet gentle personality, is a role model for the navy's lower-ranking soldiers.

But... what good are role models?

He still cut down the role model.

"Iai Slash!"

A cold, bluish blade flashed, as if cleaving through space, and appeared in front of Yamakaji's chest in the blink of an eye.

Fast, too fast.

So fast that you could only see the flash of the blade, not the blade itself.

Yamakaji's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his small eyes bulged outwards.

"It's too late, it's too late."

He's not Kizaru; he can't dodge Slash at that speed.

He didn't even have time to sheathe his sword and defend; he only had time to cover his chest with Armament Haki and accelerate the flow of blood throughout his body before unleashing "Tekkai."

Although the Tekkai cannot move, it increases his defensive capabilities.

Clang--!

The Zankū struck the chest of the Yamakaji, producing a deafening sound like a bell.

Thump--!

Then, under the unparalleled power transmitted from the Blade of Zankū, Yamakaji shot rapidly backward, piercing the sail, skipping across the sea several times, and finally crashing heavily into the distant sea.

The seawater suddenly sank, splashing water everywhere, and the resulting waves made the Warship violently.

That's incredible, absolutely incredible.

At this moment, Onigumo and Strawberry, who were still standing in the air, and Doberman, who had two X-shaped scars on his face and neck, all stared at Kuta with solemn expressions, no longer daring to be distracted even for a moment.

They were not shocked by Kuta's power, but by the speed of his Slash.

It's only been a breath or two since Teleportation from Kuta behind the Momonga.

His unpredictable Teleportation made it impossible for anyone to know where he would appear from.

And then there's that speed that leaves no time to react, instantly sending the flying Momonga flying, and the Yamakaji Slash.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, they all felt at a loss for what to do.

Chapter 44 "One Sword Style · Iai · God Slash!"

"Oh! How terrifying!"

A red light flashed in Kizaru's eyes as he scanned the Navy Warship below and the sea behind it with his Navy Warship Observation Haki, discovering that Momonga and Yamakaji were not seriously injured.

Only he could have withstood Kuta's Slash just now!

However, he did not intend to make a move here, because his attack could easily render the Navy Warship completely unusable.

Moreover, there are so many naval soldiers on board the Navy Warship.

He wasn't Hawk Faction navy officer; he still cared about the lives of these naval soldiers.

Just then, the Navy Warship finally approached the shallow sea area, then quickly moved upwards, carving long furrows in the shallows, and finally came to a complete stop in the shallow sea area not far from the beach.

Kuta glanced at the Navy Warship that had stopped below, then looked up at the Momonga and Yamakaji that had rushed out of the ship's cabin and the sea again, surrounding him, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

Although these individuals are not as powerful as Melason, their Armament Haki has already reached the third stage.

Therefore, he cannot kill them with a single strike like he could with Instant Kill Black Gun.

His casual Slash could only leave shallow, non-fatal wounds on their bodies.

Such a powerful individual could serve as a whetstone for Kuina.

Although these guys all carry swords, not all of them are Swordmaster.

I carry a knife simply because a knife can cause more damage than a fist.

If we're talking about Swordmaster, Onigumo is probably the only one!

He glanced at Onigumo and a smirk played on his lips.

"I'll make you the whetstone for Kuina's ascension to the Great Swordsman!"

With that thought, his figure vanished in a flash.

Seeing Kuta suddenly disappear, the five Vice Admiral' eyes gleamed red, their bodies tensed, and they were on high alert.

Especially the Momonga, and the soaking wet Yamakaji.

They just personally experienced the terror of the Kuta Slash!

"Um!"

Their gazes all turned to the distant beach, where Kuta, who had just been within their encirclement, had somehow stopped on the sand.

"Well! Come on, Navy!"

Kuta stood next to Kuina, tore off his Wine Gourd, and took a sip.

"Phew~"

A blush crept across his face. He lowered his head, looked at the Navy Warship in the distance, and shouted, "Come on! Let me have some fun!"

Whether you can get back alive depends on your strength.

"You bastard, don't be so arrogant!"

The five Vice Admiral, looking at Kuta, rushed towards the beach with a "whoosh".

"Well! Want to have some fun?"

Kizaru crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yata Mirror!"

As if Teleportation, it appeared directly in the Kuta.

"If you want to have a good time, then I'll keep you entertained."

He looked down into the Kuta, a golden light flashed from his right foot, and he quickly moved towards...

It was kicked into the air.

Whoosh--!

A beam of laser light, significantly larger than the golden laser emitted from his finger, shot rapidly downwards.

Here, he wouldn't feel restricted.

A red light flashed in Kuta's eyes, and he pushed off the sand with both feet.

"Shave!"

With a "whoosh," it shot rapidly toward the shore.

Just as he and Kuina dodged the laser and turned their heads...

A massive explosion occurred where they had been standing, instantly creating a bottomless crater in the beach below.

"Well! Is this the destructive power of Marine Admiral?"

Kuta hung the Wine Gourd back on his waist, looked at Kizaru, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

With this guy's speed and attack power, no Pirates should be able to reach the New World if he wanted to.

But he was just too lazy.

They wasted a Devil Fruit that could have changed the course of the Sea.

No wonder he ate the Creepy-Creepy Fruit, Shining Man.

Seeing the five Vice Admiral charging towards her, Kuina drew her Wado Ichimonji, pushed off the ground with both feet, and charged straight towards Onigumo.

The aura of Swordmaster can be recognized at a glance.

"Um!"

Onigumo stared at Kuina, his charging body paused slightly, then he swiftly swung his sword and collided with Kuina.

"Get out of my way, kid."

Clearly, he didn't take Kuina seriously.

The other four Vice Admiral did not stop and continued to rush towards Kuta.

Watching the four Vice Admiral rush past him and Kuta, Kizaru placed his hands together in front of him, his right hand loosely clenched, his left hand wide open, and slowly drew a golden greatsword that shone with golden light from between his hands.

"The Ama no Murakumo Sword!"

This guy not only has a very strong Devil Fruit ability, but he might also be a Great Swordsman.

Two years later, he and Rayleigh, the Pluton, fought each other with swordsmanship on the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Ama no Murakumo Sword is a light sword formed from his Devil Fruit power. In terms of hardness, it is no less than Great Grade Sword, but it is unknown whether it can compare with a Supreme Great Grade Sword.

Then, with a powerful push of his feet, he and the four Vice Admiral swiftly charged towards Kuta.

Long-range attacks were useless against this guy, so he had no choice but to engage Kuta combat.

Moreover, it's no longer a matter of numbers against numbers.

The question isn't whether they can win.

This guy's Teleportation is too troublesome. Although his movement is fast, it can only be in a straight line, and sometimes it can't keep up with the rhythm of the attacks from Kuta.

He had already sensed this; it was as if Kuta suddenly appeared behind the Momonga, preventing him from effectively rescuing it.

"Oh..."

"A siege?"

Kuta looked at the four Vice Admiral charging towards him, especially the lightsaber in Kizaru's hand, his eyes flashing.

His face instantly lit up with excitement.

He fearlessly charged towards the four Vice Admiral and Kizaru.

Let's deal with these four Vice Admiral first, then we can have a proper fight with Kizaru.

With a jolt of his eyes, his Conqueror's Haki erupted instantly, then, under his super control of his Space Domain, it rapidly Coating around the Zankū.

To quickly eliminate these four Vice Admiral and render them incapable of fighting, other attacks either kill them outright or lack sufficient power. Therefore, he can only resort to a lower-powered version of Conqueror's Haki Coating.

Killing them was actually very simple for him, as simple as a single strike, but incapacitating them was not so easy.

He didn't want to kill these guys, because no matter what, they were important figures in maintaining world peace. If they all died, the Sea would surely erupt in chaos, and who knows how many more people would die!

These guys pose no threat to him anyway.

Isn't that right?

"One Sword Style · Iai · God Slash!"

Kuta stood still, his front foot stomping on the ground, causing the ground to sink instantly. He bent his knees and lowered his waist slightly. Then, with his right hand gripping the Zankū, he quickly drew it and slashed diagonally upwards at the four Vice Admiral charging towards him.
