Sword Immortal's Sword Intent, Swordsmanship Prerequisite Unlocked

Dongze swept his Observation Haki across the ground, and with a gentle flick of his hands, the six Flying Swords that were hovering in mid-air instantly returned to their sheaths.

Then, with a tap of his foot, the figure vanished into nothingness.

The next moment, Dongze landed on the ground and stood beside Robin.

"Is everything done?"

Upon hearing Dongze's words, the Charlotte Family children's faces froze, and cold sweat instantly covered their foreheads. If they didn't know Dongze's strength, they wouldn't have thought much of it, but now that they knew how terrifying Dongze was—a monster capable of splitting the sky and seas, an Emperor capable of standing at the pinnacle of the ocean—they didn't even dare to make a move.

Robin smiled faintly, her Qiongbi wrinkling slightly. "Hmm! But I don't think giving such a treasure to the enemy camp is a good thing!"

Seeing the members of the Big Mom Pirates who didn't dare to turn their heads for a long time, Dongze didn't make a move. Instead, he looked up at Big Mom, who was falling rapidly from mid-air.

Previously, he didn't quite understand the definition of the strong. He thought it was absurd to say that the strong generally don't attack the weak or bully them.

However, he suddenly realized that his mindset had changed. He had no interest in Perospero, Cracker, Smoothie, and the others, and he didn't even have the desire to fight them.

He then said with great emotion, "From today onwards, this new Swordsmanship will surely shake the entire sea! My heart has always desired to spread the art of swordsmanship throughout the world, and this person is a promising talent for the Swordsmanship; how could I not take him!"

Upon hearing Dongze's words, everyone present felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Such an astonishing Swordsmanship, and this person actually did not intend to keep it to himself, but wanted to spread it to the world.

"Hey! What did I just hear?"

Is this true?

"Such a powerful move, does this person really intend to spread it throughout the sea like this?"

"What on earth is he here for?!"

The crowd could no longer contain themselves and erupted in a deafening uproar, instantly becoming a scene of utter chaos.

Even Cracker, Smoothie, and the others couldn't help but look at the figure standing in the center of the field, their faces filled with disbelief.

"How noisy!"

Hearing the buzzing chatter, Dongze frowned, and a wave of Conqueror's Haki swept out.

The aura was earth-shattering, the sky darkened, and then the sound of people falling to the ground could be heard. Only a few pirate officers, led by Perospero and others who were wanted by the Navy, were left, all of whom were now forced to kneel on the ground. The space suddenly became quiet.

Sensing Dongze's Conqueror's Haki, the executives' faces showed a hint of fear again. The Big Mom's Conqueror's Haki was already terrifying enough; when Big Mom screamed, it was already a natural disaster. But what they saw before them once again shattered their previous understanding.

The sugar wall that Perospero had erected was shattered; the power was simply unimaginable. Even if that sugar wall had withstood the previous barrage of swords, it shouldn't have become so fragile.

"Bacchan!!"

"How could someone possibly possess such Conqueror's Haki?!"

"Heh heh~~ Truly worthy of being the man who defeated Kaido!!"

"Was this the kind of opponent MOM was facing before?"

"..."

Just then, with a scream, the Big Mom crashed heavily into the Whole Cake Island, leaving a bottomless crater in the ground, still bearing the outline of the Big Mom.

"MOM!!"

Seeing the Big Mom fall, the officials snapped out of their shock.

An ordinary person falling from a height of over 5,000 meters would likely die. A Vice Admiral falling from 5,000 meters might spend several years in the hospital. But a Four Emperors falling from 5,000 meters? Sorry, he could just stretch his neck and take down a whole group of people, just like Kaido who jumped from the Sky Island and Big Mom now.

"Dongze ~~"

With a roar, a pink figure leaped out of the deep pit—it was BIGMOM.

However, the Big Mom was not unharmed at this moment; her hat had vanished, and Zeus and Prometheus were nowhere to be seen.

Dongze's Sword Intent Domain stripped her of her three divine armor pieces.

Cuts were left on her body, which was harder than steel, and bright red blood flowed out. The previous battle was not as easy as he had imagined. Although Dongze's methods were restricted, he still made the Big Mom suffer a lot with the help of his Sword Intent.

So when the Big Mom came to the ground, she didn't rush to take action. Instead, she looked at Dongze with a serious expression.

"Have you finally calmed down?"

Dongze looked at Charlotte Linlin, who had finally calmed down. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"You bastard! What are you doing here? Our Pirate Crew hasn't done anything to you, has it?!"

For the first time ever, the old Big Mom uttered such a sentence, the first time since she became Four Emperors that she had spoken with even a hint of submission.

Dongze gave a cold laugh, "I didn't strike first, did I, Charlotte? Linlin?!"

"You~~"

The Big Mom was speechless upon hearing this. It was true that Dongze hadn't made the first move, but according to the unwritten rules among pirates on the high seas, trespassing on another's territory without permission was considered a provocation.

Besides, given her temperament, she wouldn't show any mercy to uninvited guests who suddenly intrude on her Whole Cake Island.

However, this time, the opponent's strength exceeded her expectations, leaving her feeling humiliated and embarrassed.

"What do you want to do?"

A telepathic message reached Bigom's mind, causing her expression to change drastically. "Impossible!!"

Having heard something, Big Mom flew into a rage, her arms fully covered in Armament Haki, black lightning flashed on her fists again, and she unleashed Conqueror's Haki Coating once more.

"Draw!"

A low shout rang out, and seven Flying Swords were instantly drawn, including Cold River, whose Sword Intent had reached perfection. The space suddenly trembled, and Sword Intent began to spread.

A powerful aura, even more intense than the previous Conqueror's Haki, suddenly erupted, causing the Big Mom's expression to darken slightly, and her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the blue-glowing Flying Sword behind Dongze.

As Devil Fruit User, her perception of auras was far superior to Kaido's; she sensed the aura of death on that Flying Sword.

Her pupils constricted, and she exclaimed in surprise, "The Divine Realm Power!!"

Then Dongze's cold words echoed, "Don't be so quick to judge. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, I could have killed you all on the spot and then taken it myself!!"

Upon hearing Dongze's words, the Big Mom angrily retorted, "You dare!!"

Dongze continued expressionlessly, "Perhaps you can defend yourself, but I guarantee that none of the people present will survive!!"

The Big Mom clenched her fists tightly. She was well aware of the Divine Realm Power expert. Dongze was right; even if she could withstand the attack, her children would be killed.

"You bastard!!"

"All you ever say is 'bastard'!! Can't you say something else?"

"Baka~~"

After a long silence, the Big Mom gritted her teeth and said, "Perospero, take him to the Treasure Room!!"

"Oh, right, I also need to find a little lion named Pekoms. Could you help me call him over?!"

"Dongze, don't push your luck!!"

"What ever!"

"... Yaru~~"

"Smoothie, call Pekoms over!!"

Chapter 158 Sword Immortal Sword Intent, Sword Path Prerequisite Activated

"Dongze, why didn't you make a move earlier! Big Mom shouldn't be a match for you now!"

Dongze narrowed his eyes and sighed softly.

Robin is right. Big Mom is indeed no match for him now, but there are many inconsistencies in fighting here. This place contains Poneglyph, and those powerful techniques cannot be used at will. He is not sure if his current techniques can destroy those things!

If it's really destroyed, he won't even have a place to cry.

Furthermore, with his Shuihan Sword Intent and Armament Haki directly sealed, Charlotte Linlin was still quite troublesome to deal with, even without him unleashing his full power, and it was impossible to determine life or death for the time being.

Therefore, going into battle on my own would not be the best option.

The best strategy for attacking the enemy is to subdue their plans; the next best is to disrupt their alliances; the next best is to attack their army; and the worst is to besiege their cities.

The best choice now is the one you make right now.

Seeing Robin staring at him with a puzzled look, Dongze chuckled and said, "As Buddha said: It cannot be spoken!"

Upon hearing Dongze's words, Perospero, who was leading the way, couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. These two were truly terrifying, discussing such a dangerous matter in front of him, the person directly involved.

Seeing Perospero's actions, Robin couldn't help but smile, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

Then Dongze shook his head. He didn't expect Robin to still have the mind to do these little tricks at this time. He had already locked onto the two Poneglyph using his Observation Haki long before.

Yes, there are two pieces here, one red and one black.

Perospero wasn't deliberately wandering around; it's just that the Big Mom's Treasure Room was located at the very back of the castle.

About fifteen minutes later, Dongze and Robin arrived at the Treasure Room and, as promised, saw the two Poneglyph.

Dongze waved his hand, dismissing Perospero, who still wanted to stay.

"Remove the surveillance cameras here. You have one minute; otherwise, you'll face the consequences!!"

Perospero tensed up upon hearing this, as this was exactly what he had planned. He had heard that the person accompanying Dongze was the sole survivor of Ohara, the Devil Child Nicole Robin.

She is the only surviving archaeologist in the world.

In other words, the other party can understand what's here, and the content isn't just of interest to Dongze; it interests all the pirates in the world.

Especially considering they are one of the Four Emperors Pirate Crew who are closest to achieving the title of Pirate King in the world.

However, Dongze seemed to have seen through his thoughts and directly drove him away. Looking at Dongze's unfathomable eyes, Perospero gave an awkward smile, said yes, and then immediately removed the Den Den Mushi that were monitoring him, and also closed the door to the Treasure Room.

Seeing Perospero leave, Dongze chuckled, and the next moment his Sword Intent erupted, with two muffled sounds coming from the ceiling of the Treasure Room.

Robin frowned. "Dongze?"

"Hmph! Just a hidden Den Den Mushi!"

Back in the Surveillance Room, Perospero heard his subordinate's report. His face darkened, his left fist clenched tightly, and a flash of anger appeared deep in his eyes. However, he dared not speak out, considering it a stroke of luck that the other party hadn't come looking for trouble.

"So sexy~~"

Then Dongze and Robin resumed their previous procedure. Listening to Robin's translation, Dongze slowly closed his eyes, but this time, he didn't treat it as just a lullaby; instead, he became somewhat cautious.

His brow furrowed from time to time as he pondered this blank period of history and the truth of this world.

Suddenly, Dongze opened his eyes, a hint of surprise rising deep within them.

"World Consciousness Unlocked: 4/10, One Sword Across the Ages: (Time Sword Intent: Can be activated!)"

Another Sword Intent was activated.

This Sword Intent was different from the previous ones; it was a special Sword Intent — the Time Sword Intent.

He also remembered this saying, "Ten years can witness the coming of spring and the passing of autumn; a hundred years can witness birth, aging, sickness, and death; a thousand years can lament the rise and fall of dynasties; and ten thousand years can reveal the shifting of stars and constellations."

Time, as one of the most mysterious forces in the world, is a topic of much discussion and even reverence.

There's even a saying that time is of the essence, and space is king.

Even in the primordial world, this power was ranked among the top few, the most powerful force.

The universe is vast, profound, and mysterious. Here, all things are born and die, and creation is wondrous. In this cycle of birth and death, some things appear and some things disappear. In this constant change, only one thing remains unchanged: time.

The activation of this Sword Intent gave him the ability to explore the Void Century of the past few hundred years.

Enabling him to get to the bottom of things and uncover the true nature of the world is Shigure for him.

It brought him immense joy.

However, he then closed his eyes again, because Robin's translation had not stopped.

His gentle voice seemed to contain a powerful force, softly lifting a corner of the world and revealing the secrets of this world's history to Dongze.

Time slowly passed, Robin frowned, and uttered the last character. She suddenly had a feeling about this red Poneglyph.

This Poneglyph seems to consist of four parts, and what is recorded here is only one of them. The words "the Land Where the Four Extremes Converge" and "the Final Land" contained within the text are also a reminder to her.

However, at this moment, Dongze had no time to worry about any of that. In his mind, new words popped up on the panel.

"World Will Unlocked: 5/10, Sword Intent: Moonlit Flowers at Dawn (Active), Boundless (Active)"

This red Poneglyph instantly activated two Sword Intent. Including the previously activated Sword Intent, he activated three Sword Intent during his trip to Whole Cake Island.

The gray text following "Swordsmanship" has changed to "Sword Intent Perfection: 1/10 (To be activated!)"
