Chapter 245 Switching
Lao Jiu now has obtained weapons and stronger power. Rebecca almost suffered from this sudden power.
Fortunately, Vic had always emphasized to her that a swordsman needed strength that matched his realm, and she had never given up on training her strength. Many men were not as strong as Rebecca.
If another woman had tried to resist that attack just now, her head would have been smashed to pieces. Rebecca hadn't met a decent strong man for such a long time, and she had developed an arrogant mentality. Meeting Lao Jiu today was a lesson for her.
She had been thinking about fighting Zero before, but now seeing Zero's strength, she felt that she was a little inflated. Everyone wanted to give it a try. It might also be because Vic was by her side, so she felt a little fearless. Rebecca knew that she couldn't use force in the next battle.
"You have a strong sense of combat, you are a natural warrior, it's a pity that you are a marine!"
Lao Jiu didn't expect Rebecca to come up with a countermeasure instantly. He was a little surprised. In the previous battle, he had never felt so obviously at a disadvantage.
"The direction of strengthening of animal-type devil fruits is different, which is related to the characteristics of the animal. I thought you were very slow and fell asleep on the spot after transforming.
I didn't expect you to increase your strength. The strength of your claws was also beyond my expectations. Since you can block my sword, I will pay attention next time. "Rebecca told a cold joke, but Lao Jiu was like a person who couldn't laugh.
After Rebecca finished speaking, she took the initiative to attack. She instantly came in front of Lao Jiu's tall figure and stabbed the koala's belly button with her long sword like a dragon. There was a circle of hairless skin here, and several solid abdominal muscles were exposed.
The koala fruit provides weapons and enormous power, but it does not strengthen defense. If Rebecca stabbed the belly button, the sword would enter the body and damage the internal organs.
Lao Jiu didn't dare to take it head-on and could only use his claws to deflect the attacking sword. After Rebecca's sword was deflected, she spun around on the spot with the force and bent down to stab at Lao Jiu's leg.
Lao Jiu directly stepped on the Moon Step to leave the ground and avoided the attack. Rebecca followed closely behind him, also stepping on the Moon Step. Although Lao Jiu changed his body, the Moon Step he used was exactly the same. The two of them intersected with swords and claws in the air many times, but there was no winner. Rebecca would not take Lao Jiu's attack head-on now, but responded by dodging and attacking while the enemy must defend.
The battle in the air ended inconclusively, and Lao Jiu returned to the ground. After all, he was too big now, and he would have too many flaws if he was in the air.
If they are on the ground, at least there will be no attacks from below. Rebecca has not shown the ability to burrow underground, so Lao Jiu can worry less. After all, his current enemies are relatively small, have strong combat awareness and are flexible and changeable, and are indeed not easy to deal with.
Rebecca chased Lao Jiu to the ground, but she had no intention of stopping the attack. Rebecca didn't like to talk during the battle, and would talk after the fight was over. However, many enemies were sent to see Hades by Rebecca without even leaving a last word.
Rebecca ran directly towards Laojiu's hairy head, with her sword pointing at his forehead. Laojiu crossed his claws to block the sword.
The moment the sword touched the claw, Rebecca did a backflip and turned upside down, her upper body continuing to lean back, and the sword drew an arc towards Lao Jiu's abdomen and chest.
Lao Jiu never expected that Rebecca's move was a feint, and her target was actually his stomach. Rebecca's move worked, and the long sword slashed from Lao Jiu's abdomen to his yellow-haired chest.
A long wound appeared on Lao Jiu's abdominal muscles and chest, and the blood dyed his yellow hair red. Rebecca fell to the ground and stepped back, leaving Lao Jiu's attack range.
"Are you still injured? Your combat awareness is really strong. You took advantage of the slightest slackness and chopped me down. This kind of awareness is rare!"
Lao Jiu stretched out his claws and stroked the wounds on his chest and abdomen, thinking to himself that at this time his wounds had already squirmed and squeezed together and stopped bleeding. This is the powerful vitality of the animal system.
"Animals do have strong vitality, but if they keep getting hurt, it will be hard for them to survive!"
Rebecca also saw the wound being squeezed. After saying something, she immediately ran towards Lao Jiu, and the sword blade and sharp claws kept colliding.
Rebecca would no longer be careless and fight with strength, so there were no unexpected situations during the long battle. Lao Jiu seemed to have suffered a loss just now and became more cautious, and did not let Rebecca hurt him. The battle was in a stalemate for a long time.
"This is not a solution. I am probably the only one who has not gained an absolute advantage. I can't hold everyone back. I have to defeat this koala quickly!"
Rebecca used her Observation Haki to sense the area and found that she was in a stalemate. Wendy was still playing tricks on her opponent with her skilled Observation Haki. Vic and Barnett were beating up their opponents. Vic had not even drawn his sword until now. This was the first time Rebecca felt a sense of urgency since she entered the island.
"Whatever, let's just fight using the skills I learned from that bounty hunter!"
Rebecca wanted to end the battle quickly, so she abandoned her observation Haki and directly used the instinctive state she had learned from the last battle with Kobo to fight.
Because Laojiu's observation Haki is stronger than hers, and with the strength and huge size brought by the human-beast transformation, relying on observation Haki is not an advantage.
But fighting based on instinct alone can avoid this. You foresaw my next move, and I foresaw your next move. Our knowledge levels were not much different, and we couldn't see one step further, so the fight was very stalemate.
So in Xiaonan's eyes, Rebecca's handsome and elegant fighting style immediately changed. It became a completely instinctive close-combat fighting style, allowing her body to play freely, using whatever moves were appropriate, letting her body decide for itself, with no rules at all.
As a result, Lao Jiu was a little confused. His Observation Haki could not predict Rebecca's next move at all. Sometimes his Observation Haki would be deceived and the move would not be used at all. Maybe Rebecca's body sensed something and changed her move.
Rebecca dodged the successive claws and kicked Laojiu in the chest. Laojiu's body was shot into the flower field in the distance like a cannonball, raising a rain of petals.
After Rebecca kicked, she kept moving, using the Moon Step and the Shave, and with a few flashes she arrived above Lao Jiu.
At this time, Lao Jiu hadn't gotten up yet. Rebecca stabbed Lao Jiu, who was lying on the ground, with a sword. Lao Jiu felt something was wrong when he heard the sound of Yuebu. He didn't get up, but rolled and moved wildly in the flower field.
Lao Jiu's reaction was fast enough to dodge the attack, but Rebecca did not stop. That was her instinct. She had the urge to attack at every moment and had all the moves she could use.
The sword energy and the storm kicks flew madly towards Old Nine who was rolling on the ground, as densely as the falling moon.
Although Lao Jiu dodged most of the attacks, there were still a few that landed on him, including sword energy and wind blades. The wind blades had less killing power and only left small wounds, but the sword energy was much more powerful and left large wounds that were bloody.
