Chapter 88: Armory, Ghost Sword
Lu Kai took down the Slaughter and drew out the blade.
The moment the Slaughter Blade was unsheathed, Lu Kai suddenly felt a terrifying murderous aura rising into the sky. At the same time, the Slaughter Blade was flashing with a cold blood-red light, as if it was going to slaughter everyone in the world.
The murderous intent of this knife is extremely strong. Just holding it in the hand makes people feel the murderous intent boiling.
"What a magical sword!" Lu Kai sheathed the sword and put Tu Lu back on the shelf.
Every knife has its own will. The more powerful the knife, the stronger the will it contains. The murderous intent released by the massacre is the same.
But it does not mean that a powerful weapon is suitable for you. For example, "Slaughter" is not suitable for Lu Kai's path.
He has killed many people, but that doesn't mean he is a murderer. The murderous aura he exudes is simply too strong.
As he continued walking forward, Lu Kai arrived at the third area.
The third area was surprisingly empty, with only a platform in the middle. On the platform was a sword rack with a huge two-handed sword on it.
The curved one is a knife, the straight one is a sword.
In the world of pirates, regardless of whether a person uses a knife or a sword as the main weapon of attack, he is collectively called a swordsman, and the moves used by a swordsman are called swordsmanship.
In fact, there is no difference between using a knife or a sword. It’s just that relatively speaking, there are more people using knives in the world of pirates.
However, there are also many masters who use swords, among which the most representative ones are Pluto Rayleigh and Cyrus. Even the Ame-no-Musukune sword condensed by Kizaru using the Shimmer Fruit is a straight sword.
There are others, such as White Horse Cavendish, Brooke, etc.
The most important thing is not the knife or sword. The most important thing is to find a weapon that suits you so that you can unleash your greater strength.
After awakening the sword heart, Lu Kai has been looking for the most suitable weapon, but he has never found it. Even Doujikiri Yasutsuga is not his cup of tea.
It was not until Lu Kai saw the two-handed giant sword in front of him that he immediately understood that this was the weapon most suitable for him.
In just a moment, Lu Kai was completely attracted by the sword.
"Ghost Sword!" Lu Kai looked at the words engraved on the shelf and whispered, "What a good name!"
The name alone made Lu Kai like it very much.
Then Lu Kai couldn't wait to take the sword off the shelf and looked at every part carefully.
The scabbard of the Ghost Sword is backpack-type, with a full sheath on one side and a half sheath on the other. A leather belt is attached to each end of the full sheath, making it convenient for the holder to carry the scabbard on his back.
The entire sheath is attached to the back, which is not only to protect the back but also to facilitate the return of the blade into the sheath. The half sheath is to facilitate the drawing of the giant sword.
The material inside the scabbard is a kind of metal whose name cannot be described, and the outside is wrapped with some kind of animal skin. The whole scabbard is shiny black and evenly long.
The bottom is oval in shape, and the scabbard tail and scabbard beam are each made of an inch-long metal that is the same color as gold but much harder than gold, and are carved with two lifelike oriental flying dragons.
The hilt of the Ghost Sword is more than one foot long, with no ropes and a pure metal carved structure. The material feels very cold to the touch, but it feels excellent and can be held with one hand or with two hands.
As Lu Kai pulled out the sword with a clang, a burst of sword energy suddenly burst out in all directions, leaving horrifying sword marks on the ground and walls, while the blade of the Ghost Sword kept flashing with cold light, appearing extremely sharp.
The blade of the 'Ghost Sword' is three and a half feet long. The middle of the sword is slightly narrower, about nine centimeters, and the two ends are slightly wider, about ten centimeters. There are no grooves on the whole sword, and the tip of the sword is perfectly streamlined.
The sword guard is one foot wide, with a ferocious ghost face carved in the middle, which looks very scary.
The whole sword is extremely beautifully shaped, and it is a perfect work of art no matter from which angle you look at it. However, the invincible sword intent shows that it is a terrifying weapon.
The Ghost Sword is one and a half meters long and weighs an astonishing three hundred kilograms. This length is a bit long for Lu Kai at his current age, but the weight makes him very fond of it.
After the observation, Lu Kai put the scabbard on his back, held the giant sword and began to perform sword moves, circling, slashing, stabbing, blocking, washing, pulling, lifting, collapsing, pressing, and poking.
Lu Kai sometimes held the sword with both hands, sometimes with one hand, and he always used the simplest sword moves, but the ghost sword in his hand was wielded by Lu Kai with great force, and it was wielded faster and faster.
Finally, Lu Kai used the sword technique of "Slaying Gods", adapting to the giant sword while continuously improving its power.
After a long time, Lu Kai finally stopped and looked at the long sword 'Ghost Sword' with surprise, because this 'Ghost Sword' seemed to be tailor-made for Lu Kai.
There are many kinds of swords, including the sword of killing, the sword of protection, and the sword of redemption. However, the sword intent emanating from the Ghost Sword can be summed up in two words - invincible.
What Lu Kai has always pursued is invincibility, so Lu Kai's sword heart and the sword intent of the Ghost Sword itself are perfectly matched.
Just by using this 'Ghost Sword', the power of all of Lu Kai's sword moves increased by more than 50% from the original level. This is the case when Lu Kai has not yet fully mastered and mastered the 'Ghost Sword'.
As Lu Kai and the Ghost Sword become more and more compatible, the degree of improvement will continue to increase.
The 'Ghost Sword' seemed to be able to sense Lu Kai's inner joy, and it even kept conveying joy to Lu Kai, like a child cheering.
“Could it be that this is also affected by the fragments of the collapsed world’s will? Has it become a spirit?” Lu Kai said with a wry smile.
He had seen many famous swords, even including the Doujikiri Yasutsuna, one of the Twelve Supreme Swords, but Lu Kai had never seen a weapon that could directly convey emotions, and those emotions were so clear.
But Lu Kai doesn't care. As long as it suits him, it's the best.
Lu Kai couldn't let go of the Ghost Sword. After practicing for a while, Lu Kai finally stopped and kept stroking the Ghost Sword, his excitement beyond words.
The primary pursuit of Lu Kai's self-created 'God-Slaying Sword Technique' is to maximize the power of a single sword move. If an enemy can be solved with one move, then two moves will never be needed.
But this does not mean that Lu Kai does not pay attention to skills. On the contrary, since the beginning of sword practice, Lu Kai has been comprehending and honing his sword skills.
Today, Lu Kai's swordsmanship has reached a very high level, so rather than saying that Lu Kai prioritizes power, it is better to say that he is returning to basics.
Because no matter whether power or skill is prioritized, the purpose of sword practice is to be able to cut off everything that stands in your way.
Using force or technique are just different methods, the ultimate goal is the same.
In fact, when Lu Kai touched a knife for the first time, he was excited, but he also found that ordinary knives did not fit him well.
This incompatibility was not only due to willpower, but also determined by the fighting style that Lu Kai desired.
He wanted to go for the pure power route, making every one of his moves a super killer move, making him invincible and able to destroy everything.
In Lu Kai's opinion, there was a reason why the later Shichibukai Hawkeye Mihawk chose the black sword 'Night', and it was also because ordinary swords could not bring out Hawkeye's strongest power.
Although Hawkeye said that any sword can be transformed into a black sword, there is no doubt that the sword that best suits one's fighting style is better.
Lu Kai even thought about it before, whether he should find the black knife and take it for himself before Hawkeye uses it.
But after getting the Ghost Sword, Lu Kai decisively gave up this idea, because the Ghost Sword met all his needs for a weapon.
Whether it was the sword intent, weight, destructive power, sharpness, or attack range, the Ghost Sword perfectly met what Lu Kai had in mind, greatly enhancing the power of Lu Kai's sword moves.
