Chapter 399: Kendo
Even after the sword energy was shattered, Vic was not idle either. He swung out with both swords again. The two sword energies flying out from the blades merged into one, becoming bigger and longer.
The silver sword energy was surrounded by black armament domineering and instantly flew in front of Garp.
I don’t know whether Garp didn’t want to dodge or couldn’t dodge, but Garp chose to fight back. He simply crossed his fists filled with domineering aura in front of his chest as a defense.
Vic's sword energy hit the intersection point directly. This time the sword energy was not so easy to break. Cap knew it very well, so he did not swing his iron fist directly.
This time, Vic's sword energy was strengthened in all aspects. Cap was pushed back quickly by the sword energy. The wrecked ships and debris under his feet were pushed to both sides by Cap's body, and a ditch was plowed out in the ground below.
It was not until more than 20 meters away that Karp roared and instantly stopped his retreat. After a stalemate with the sword energy for a second, he bounced the sword energy out. The sword energy flew vertically into the sky and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone then understood why the old man didn't hide. Vic was using an open strategy. If you hide from the sword energy, I will cut this place in half, and this piece of land may sink into the sea. This is definitely something Cap doesn't want to see.
Vic also knew that Cap would not sit idly by and watch this happen, so he had no choice but to take it head-on. This could be considered as combat wisdom, analyzing the opponent's mental state instead of just brute force.
You can do this when dealing with someone weaker than you, because you have overwhelming strength, but if you do this to someone stronger than you, you are courting death.
Vic could have taken advantage of Garp's attack to defend against the sword energy, but he didn't do so. He didn't want the old man to fail to block the sword energy and cut off a piece of the island. The Water City has been sinking every year, and this would make the situation worse.
"Why did that young marine fight Vice Admiral Garp?"
"Are today's young people so powerful? Even Vice Admiral Garp was beaten back!"
"It should be a sparring match! That young man might be Vice Admiral Garp's disciple, and he should be teaching his disciples now!"
"Does anyone know that young marine? He seems to be a senior officer!"
"It looks familiar. I think I've seen it in the newspaper, but I can't remember where!"
"Isn't Vice Admiral Garp trying his best?"
.......
The treasure hunters did not leave either, and wanted to wait for Tom and the others to leave before coming back to look for treasure again. However, it was this decision that led them to witness a wonderful battle.
And one of them was the navy hero Garp. The most outrageous thing was that Garp was actually at a disadvantage. The young navy man gave him such a strong sense of oppression that they didn't even dare to make a sound.
The most surprised people were the people in Tom's studio. Although they knew that Vic must have certain strength, they did not expect that they could fight against the legendary naval hero.
They had heard Vic say before that he was very capable and would be able to become a navy admiral in no time. They thought at the time that Vic was just exaggerating in order to dock the warship at the studio's dock, but they didn't expect that Vic really had the ability. Although they had long since changed their impression of Vic, they were really shocked this time. This young man might really be able to do what he said!
Vic and the old man didn't pay attention to other people's comments. Vic had already moved when the old man threw the sword into the air.
He came in front of the old man in an instant. Since long-range attacks didn't work, he decided to fight in close combat. Anyway, he had a knife in his hand, so he was not afraid that his domineering power was not strong enough.
The two knives in his hands were like the two big claws of a lobster, slashing at the old man frantically. The speed was so fast that it looked like twenty knives were slashing at the naval hero.
The old man seemed to have grown eight hands, and his domineering fists punched Vic's domineering blade again and again.
Maybe because of the big swings, the old man was slightly slower than Vic in speed, which resulted in him being able to catch only eight or nine out of ten of Vic's swords. The one or two that were missed would pass over his fist and hit him.
However, the old man's observation Haki had already reached the point where he could foresee the future, and he had already covered it with Armament Haki before Vic attacked him with his sword and axe.
Vic is not using his mental power to block the old man's Observation Haki now, as it will be very useful in dealing with the old man's domineering nature later.
So he didn't mind being foreseen. This was also expected. It was impossible to take advantage at the beginning. He wanted to comprehend a new level of kendo in the battle.
Vic used his two swords to attack frantically, changing his moves. Although the old man's pair of iron fists were equally fast, he would still miss one or two moves, and these one or two moves provided room for maneuver.
Vic used close combat sword moves with both hands to attack all parts of the old man's body, with his observation ability fully activated, sensing the old man's every move.
Vic slashed at the old man's side with his knife, and at the moment when the old man punched away the blood, Vic took advantage of the rebound and stabbed the old man in the middle of his eyebrows.
The old man was no pushover either. Relying on his higher level of observation Haki, he used a thumb-sized piece of hardened armament Haki to block his forehead before the tip of the knife reached him.
There was a trembling sound of metal being hit, and the air around the old man seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, and the wrecked ships on the ground were shattered into pieces.
Bloody's charge did not work, which was also within Vic's perception. If he could really stab the knife into the old man's brain, he would not have stabbed it. Although it was blocked, the knife knocked the old man out, and he flew away along with the fragments of the broken ship.
This time Vic chose to pursue, and his active attack speed was definitely faster than the old man's passive retreat speed. The old man did not take advantage of the momentum to retreat, he did not need to keep a distance from Vic.
So Vic came in front of him in an instant, and continued to stab the old man with both swords side by side, one pointing at the throat and the other at the heart, both were killing moves.
However, the old man only used his fist to hit the knife that Vic was stabbing at his throat, and ignored the next one. After a metallic vibration accompanied by the sonic boom, a circle of mist appeared out of thin air in the air, wrapping the two men in it.
Vic's first knife was blocked and he did not continue to stab with the next one. Instead, he turned 360 times at the moment his fist hit the tip of the knife, and the two parallel knives directly chopped the old man's neck.
Although this attack was blocked by the old man's Armament Haki, the sword energy would not disappear out of thin air, and all of it poured into the surrounding space and the ground.
The space was still very stable, with only a layer of ripples appearing and then quickly disappearing, but the land was separated into pieces like tofu.
This time, the old man was knocked to the ground by this huge force and crashed into the ground full of tofu lumps, like a ground dragon moving quickly through the soil.
