The black-haired beauty, Mura, bent backward, narrowly avoiding the last flying sword that grazed her nose, before straightening up and speaking expressionlessly.
Her tone was flat and even, but the sarcasm in her words was so strong it was impossible to ignore.
"Isn't it just Observation Haki allows you to see the Future Sight? What's so great about it? Our pirate crew has several of those skills!"
Rebecca retorted angrily, "Although I'm over thirty, I have a Pure Gold age-defying effect. I look like I'm only in my early twenties, even younger than the dark-haired beauty Mura!"
Because of this, she is still very young at heart, retaining a touch of girlish naiveté and stubbornness, which becomes even more apparent when she is around people of similar social standing!
Mura, the God's Knights, is clearly a strong fighter at her level, so she has quite a temper when she fights!
Can you?
"I... I..."
Mura raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile curving her lips, and casually uttered a sentence.
One sentence left Rebecca speechless, her face flushed red, unable to utter a word.
Her talent was only average; even with Vic's tireless efforts to pave the way for her, she could never compare to truly gifted monsters.
In this era, there are dozens of people who Awakening Conqueror's Haki, but there are probably fewer than twenty people who have truly cultivated Observation Haki to the point of being able to Future Sight, which shows how rare they are!
Such abilities are typically reserved for exceptionally gifted individuals and those with an extreme talent for specialization. Rebecca ultimately fell short, and facing an opponent like Mura, the battle was destined to be a stalemate.
"I'm so angry!"
Rebecca felt incredibly unlucky. How could she have chosen an opponent with Observation Haki that could Future Sight? And one of the best at it at that, someone who could foresee everything!
This is the type of enemy she least wants to face. Even if her flying swords Shrouding the Heavens the sky, it's still difficult to hit them. And with their immortality, it's even more difficult!
She couldn't possibly distribute her Conqueror's Haki across so many flying swords, because even if they hit her, the effect wouldn't be significant. But if she didn't entangle herself with Conqueror's Haki, even if she pierced her opponent with flying swords, it wouldn't be effective. That's how abnormally powerful immortality is!
In fact, Mura's Observation Haki cannot Future Sight. She is neither a top-tier talent nor a specialist in any particular area, Future Sight. So how did she manage to dodge Rebecca's flying swords without missing a single one?
Actually, it's her Devil Fruit ability that's at work. Her Devil Fruit ability is Paramecia Read-Read Ability, which allows her to read minds, access other people's memories, and decipher the composition of all things. It's considered Charlotte Pudding's superior ability!
Not only can she read instantly, but she can also access memories afterward. With this ability, Rebecca's thoughts and ideas were all known in advance!
The moment Rebecca had a fleeting thought of planning the flying sword's trajectory, the clear image was projected into Mura's consciousness. Even though Rebecca's thoughts were as swift as lightning, they couldn't escape these invisible "eyes."
With this omniscience, what's so difficult about Mura dodging those flying swords?
There's actually some restraint involved here. Rebecca had to plan the flight trajectories of the numerous flying swords in advance to control them.
Although she planned it in an instant, as long as it was in her mind, it would be intercepted by Mura the next moment. Mura could turn every step of Rebecca's calculations into a "script" and even have images of the trajectory of flying swords appear in her mind!
If it were truly just Observation Haki Future Sight, it might not be as effective as mind-reading when facing thousands of flying swords!
"Take this!"
Rebecca gritted her teeth, her stubbornness undiminished. Her flying sword was dodged time and time again, but she was not discouraged at all. Instead, her eyes narrowed and her control over the flying sword became even more ruthless.
This time, she changed tactics—the flying swords no longer attacked relentlessly, but instead swarmed around her from all directions like bees returning to their nest, weaving an impenetrable spherical sword formation that trapped Mura in the very center.
The cold, gleaming tips of the swords were all pointed directly at the center of the sphere; the dense array of flying swords seemed impenetrable even to the wind.
It's only because Mura can read minds and is immortal that she remained relatively calm. Any other woman would probably have collapsed to the ground in terror, her crotch soaked with sweat by now.
The densely packed flying swords, like a rain of arrows, formed a giant sphere, reflecting a chilling, murderous light. The oppressive feeling was so strong that just one glance was enough to make one's scalp tingle and one's heart stop!
Even a swarm of wasps can be psychologically unsettling, let alone an endless array of deadly swords!
"Go!"
The flying swords were incredibly fast, shooting towards Mura like a rain of arrows from all directions, giving the impression of facing an ancient battlefield's arrow barrage!
In other words, Mura has an immortal body as a backup. Anyone else would not know where to hide. Even if they tried to withstand it with Armament Haki, it wouldn't work. Water can wear away stone, let alone an exceptionally sharp flying sword. In the past, many powerful people have died from Rebecca's attack.
Mura brandished her longsword, swaying left and right to dodge the flying swords aimed at her, as if she were dancing!
If she couldn't dodge, she would use her sword to deflect the flying swords, but even so, her body would still be scratched by the flying swords, creating a poignant and beautiful effect as she swayed her body.
When the flying sword finished its attack and hovered in the air again, Mura's wounds had healed completely, and Rebecca's efforts had been in vain once again!
After repeating this several times, Rebecca felt that using a flying sword might not be a wise choice, at least not when facing Mura.
"Since flying swords aren't very effective, let's just engage in close combat! Everyone knows how to fight in melee!"
The flying sword remained suspended in mid-air, and Rebecca drew Aizen's Supreme Great Grade Sword Aizen from her waist!
This sword was forged for her by Vic, but due to her personal strength, frequency of use, and the number of years it has been used, Aizen has not yet turned it into Black Blade. However, this is not important to Rebecca; it is sufficient for her needs.
Rebecca lightly touched the ground with her toes, her body shooting out like an arrow, instantly arriving in front of Mura, the tip of her sword aimed straight for Mura's throat, a killing blow from the start!
Rebecca hasn't been wasting her time all these years; they're Four Emperors pirate crew, full of powerful members, including battle maniacs like Kuina and Yamato. It's impossible for her to avoid fighting!
Therefore, he has a wealth of practical experience, especially in close combat. Now, he has the demeanor of a peerless swordsman when he makes a move!
Mura stared at Rebecca expressionlessly. At that moment, time seemed to slow down. Aizen's sword tip was almost touching her throat before she turned her head to dodge the attack!
The blade grazed her neck, and in that instant, time seemed to accelerate to its limit. Rebecca missed her first strike, and immediately changed her move to sweep horizontally, trying to sever Mura's head!
Before it could even touch her neck, a sharp sword was already in front of her, and with a crisp "clang," the two swords clashed together!
Both swords were used for short-range variations, and neither was very powerful, but Mura was confident in her defense, so Aizen was deflected!
All of this happened in a single instant, demonstrating that the two women could be incredibly fast!
