Josh just said yes in his mind without carefully reading.

He knows his objective. But he doesn't dare to blink in front of his foe.

Josh didn't dare to underestimate the man in front of him.

Although Josh could feel that both of them were swords master level, T-Bone was definitely in a higher realm, since Josh didn't master the swordsmanship a long time ago

T-Bone is experienced enough to make giant sword beams for years.

It was clear. While angrily glaring at Josh, T-Bone pulled his greatsword and waved it with his two hands.

"Giant Flying Bird."

Josh, who has been focusing his senses, flashed.

What swallowed his original spot was a giant sword energy beam that took the shape of a bird's head.

*Boom*

Dust flying around, one building was cut in half. T-Bone half-closed his eyes, as he seemed to be worried about any possibility of innocents being hurt.

Josh flashed behind him. T-Bone, hearing the breath of the steel, without the need to depend on his eyes, lifted his sword and put the blade on his back.

*Metal Clashing*

The Katana and the great-sword clashed with each other. T-Bone quickly turned, jumping and lifting his sword. Once he slammed down, Josh squatted and used a Kung fu stance with the Katana, before dodging the slash and stabbing forward.

T-Bone had a sweat drop falling from his head as he took a step back, one inch away from getting his neck pierced. T-Bone glared at Josh, who was giving him a cold glare. Those eyes of Josh seemed that they don't care about killing or not. He was more caring about winning.

"Damn you!" T-Bone yelled.

As T-Bone held the sword with two hands, taking a quick step back and squatting, Josh sheathed his sword and squatted.

"Bird's great slash!"

With a strong sway, T bone sent a giant sharp arc that swallowed everything on the way.

Josh, on the other hand, dashed quickly the moment T-Bone waved his sword at a speed that no one could see.

Around him, if one had enough fast eyes, they would see silver flashes of blade moving.

<<Judgement slash>>

Josh appeared behind T-Bone. T Bone, on the other hand, was having his sword aimed forward. Josh slowly started sheathing his Katana, breathing in and out fast.

The technique he used just now was a combination of an extreme version of Shave and swordsmanship.

While using an improved version of Shave, Josh ignores the speed the limits and move forward.

He would use Shave three times in a row while still moving, which would give Josh a greater speed. It was a speed that Josh wouldn't be able to see, had he not gained the enhancement in his senses.

While moving, Josh would wave his sword around him very fast, swift enough to make his arms feel hurt.

This technique requires a lot of his stamina, though, and it even makes his powerful arm hurt, since it requires focus and unimaginable speed.

*Bang*

In front of T-Bone, the street was split in half, a great slit split the ground into two. T Bone didn't turn to face Josh, who was sheathing his sword.

*Cling*

A clinging voice could be heard after Josh finished sheathing his sword.

"I lost!" declared T-Bone, as he clenched his teeth.

One of the people looked from the window at the marine, who was standing.

From nowhere, nine slashes appeared on T-Bone chest, blood splashing out of the wounds before he fell down.

"You were a worthy one," Josh said as he held the sword from the sheath and turned to the fallen opponent.

For sure, Josh had developed some techniques. But nothing teaches him better than the battlefield itself. Josh just now made it out in a battle between swords-masters, where each slash can be deadly.

"Josh!" from nowhere, Marianne appeared running toward him. Opening his arm, Josh hugged her to his waist and said. "Quickly, we have to leave."

When she pulled her head out of his ribs, she looked up at his face. "I will… But how about Mikita."

"Robina!" Josh made a loud voice.

Soon, a mouth appeared on his chest. That mouth moved and said with Robin's voice. "Understood, I found her already and told her to move with us."

"Good job."

Josh nodded. Robin, with her ability to create a copy of her organs anywhere, was very helpful. She can find you. And she can give you messages from far while using a copy mouth. She was like one crew woman.

After starting moving, Josh appeared in front of his Robin after he jumped up while letting his demon-like senses scan his surrounding.

Once Josh felt something heading toward them, many footsteps on the way, he turned in Marianne's direction and told her to go with Robin, who was moving behind one building while heading to Mikita.

Josh then jumped off the building. He slowly started walking on an empty street, his sheath at his left hand while the sword resting on his back, held by his right hand.

The streets were obviously empty because citizens were smart enough to get away from the way of danger.

'Since I had told them we meet at the seaport, I will have to get rid of these people, and then meet my girls.'

After he was done with his thought, around seven marines appeared on Josh's way, making him stop.

The marines stared at Josh's face. Since he didn't seem surprised from meeting them, it was quite bizarre for the marines as he stared deeply into their eyes.

"You…" One of them stepped forward as he seemed to recognise Josh. "You are the guy who kissed the girl at the cafe shop."

Not answering that marine, Josh stared at the middle, to the man who was shooting him a deep glare. It was like a predator's glare, a strong one.

That was Commodore X-Drake, with an axe on his back.

"Are you the one who caused a mess earlier," X-Drake said with a calm voice as he pulled one of his men back with his hand and stepped forward.

"Which mess." Asked Josh.

The commodore stared deeply, his eyes becoming lizard-like. "The one in the street."

Drake was a calm man and seemed to give a strong momentum, a cold one above that.

"Do you know some one there," Josh asked him. "Are they related to you?"

"I'm an orphan, so nice try."

"No mama jokes then."

Shaking his head, X-Drake handed his marine coat to a near soldier and reached his back and pulled the axe. "Let's dance."

Josh's face became serious all of the sudden. "I only dance with girls. Unless you consider yourself a one, I'll skip the offer."

Josh has to fight and make his way out of this while fighting Drake, an ancient Zoan Devil Fruit eater.
