Seeing the Red Count's increasingly swift swordsmanship, Xia Luo felt slightly strained.
The Red Count's attacks were extremely tricky, specifically targeting the spots where Xia Luo had difficulty defending.
This made Xia Luo more and more annoyed as the fight went on.
Moreover, when the Red Count's umbrella struck Xia Luo's sword, he could feel that his sword seemed on the verge of breaking.
There were signs of it cracking, which made Xia Luo curse in his heart!
"Please don't break! Please don't break!"
Xia Luo kept praying in his heart while constantly infusing his sword with Armament Haki.
Clang!
Xia Luo held his sword horizontally to block the Red Count's side attack.
But then a clear cracking sound rang out.
Crack!
Xia Luo's sword snapped in two!
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, the Red Count quickly retracted his umbrella and took a few steps back, looking at Xia Luo.
"Isn't your sword a famous blade?"
The Red Count frowned and asked.
Xia Luo nodded as he looked at the broken sword in his right hand.
"No, it's just an ordinary long sword!"
"Then where is your famous blade?"
The Red Count couldn't believe that a big-time pirate with a bounty of 950 million berries didn't have a famous blade.
"Famous blade? I don't have one!"
Although Xia Luo said it confidently, he felt a bit ashamed in his heart. How could a great sword master not even have a single famous blade? It was really embarrassing!
"What about a black blade?"
The Red Count asked again!
His umbrella was made of Armament Haki.
"I've tried to forge black blades, but none of them succeeded because I used them too frequently in battles in the New World."
Xia Luo said with a bitter smile.
After hearing Xia Luo's words, the Red Count stopped talking and put away his umbrella.
"Since you don't have a sword anymore, continuing this fight would be like bullying you! When you get a suitable sword, let's finish today's match!"
The Red Count said indifferently.
There was a hint of unwillingness in his expression.
Hearing what the Red Count said, Xia Luo immediately disagreed.
"Wait! You just said you'd be bullying me! Where do you get the nerve to say that? And who says a broken sword can't be used! Come on! Let's go again!"
As soon as he heard the Red Count's insulting words, Xia Luo immediately got angry.
And this scene was recorded by Wells with a Den Den Mushi.
Steel Bone Kong also felt a bit regretful when he saw this.
Although both of them were pirates, they were also among the few great sword - masters in the world. It was truly a rare sight to see great sword - masters competing in swordsmanship. Unfortunately, the match ended because Xia Luo's sword broke.
Steel Bone Kong only felt sorry about it.
Others had the same thought.
There were many strong physical fighters in the Navy Headquarters, but there were few sword masters, and there were no great sword masters at all. It was a great opportunity to have two great sword masters competing on the spot. Whether for swordsmen or sword masters, it would be a great gain.
What if someone gains some insights from this battle?
Suddenly attaining the realm of a sword - master would also be a considerable combat force!
They even had the idea of saving this video footage.
They planned to let future Navy officers learn from it. Although the characters in it were pirates, it wouldn't stop them from learning.
On the deserted island, the Red Count frowned and looked at Xia Luo.
He didn't take Xia Luo's words to heart.
In his opinion, if a swordsman's sword was broken, he couldn't be called a swordsman, not even a great swordsman.
Seeing the Red Count's nonchalant attitude, Xia Luo got angry.
"Let me show you my swordsmanship!"
Xia Luo suddenly released a burst of his Conqueror's Haki.
This surge of Conqueror's Haki swept out.
The Red Count felt the Conqueror's Haki and frowned.
Why was he releasing Conqueror's Haki?
But then he was greatly shocked.
"Blood Sword Dominating the Sky!"
Xia Luo's sword was wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, instantly turning the broken sword blood - red. A red lightning coiled around the broken sword.
"You'd better be careful!"
Xia Luo wrapped his Conqueror's Haki around the broken sword and launched a terrifying flying slash.
This move was created by Xia Luo, inspired by Kaido's Thunder Bagua from later generations. It was a powerful move that suited him very well.
After seeing this astonishing sword qi, the Red Count was also slightly stunned!
He felt a threat to his life from this sword qi.
It had been a long time since he last felt like this.
This made the Red Count's blood boil with excitement instantly.
"Hahaha! Hahahahaha! The threat of death!"
The Red Count stared ferociously at this blood - red slash and didn't move at all.
As the sword qi got closer and closer.
"Count's Sword!"
The Red Count also charged forward with his umbrella towards this slash imbued with Conqueror's Haki.
Clang!
There was an earth - shattering noise!
Bang!
The Red Count was sent flying over ten meters by the sword qi and landed heavily in the sand on the beach.
But the moment he landed, he jumped up again and returned to Xia Luo's front.
"Pfft!"
The Red Count stood ten meters in front of Xia Luo. After stabilizing his body, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Hahahahaha! I took it!"
The Red Count looked at Xia Luo with blood on the corner of his mouth.
But then he covered his chest and cried out in pain.
"Cough! Cough! What is this move?"
The Red Count covered his chest. The flower on his chest became even more vibrant after being stained with his blood.
But the Red Count didn't have time to pay attention to the flower on his body. Instead, he looked at Xia Luo with a fanatical expression. He felt something different from that slash.
Seeing the Red Count in such a sorry state, Xia Luo also burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
Who asked him to look down on him just now?
However, after Xia Luo launched that attack, his broken sword completely turned into pieces, leaving only the hilt.
The Red Count ignored Xia Luo's laughter and kept looking at Xia Luo.
At this moment, he really missed his Observation Haki with mind - reading ability. But he couldn't see through Xia Luo at all.
Xia Luo didn't laugh for long. He looked at the Red Count's inquisitive eyes.
Xia Luo didn't intend to keep it to himself. In the New World, one can master this by practicing more with those who have mastered Conqueror's Haki Envelopment.
Xia Luo mastered Conqueror's Haki Envelopment after fighting with Charlotte Linlin.
Moreover, Xia Luo is a genius. He gradually mastered Conqueror's Haki Envelopment after his first fight with Charlotte Linlin.
It wasn't difficult at all.
"The move I just used is called Conqueror's Haki Envelopment. It's an attack where Conqueror's Haki is wrapped around a weapon! Surprised? You can also wrap Conqueror's Haki around a weapon!"
Xia Luo said in a show - off tone.
Seeing Xia Luo showing off, the Red Count didn't even want to look at him and just wanted to know how to train Conqueror's Haki Envelopment.
But looking at Xia Luo's expression, the Red Count swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue.
Seeing Xia Luo acting childish, the Red Count still decided to find a way to master Conqueror's Haki Envelopment after reaching the New World.
He would never ask this childish dude in front of him.
"How about it! Wanna learn Conqueror's Haki Envelopment? Just ask! I'll teach you until you master it!"
