31 The Threshold Of The Top

* swish *

Oden seemed to have traveled through the distance of time and space, and arrived in front of Will in an instant.

Enma and Ame no Habakiri brought up two cold gusts of wind with them and aimed straight at Will's face.

"Clang!"

A cold light suddenly flashed and just when the two blades were about to fall on Will, a pitch-black knife appeared between them and blocked Oden's attack.

Enma and Ame no Habakiri couldn't make any progress.

"Squeak..."

The three swords Asuka, Enma, and Ame no Habakiri fought fiercely and both Will and Oden used their full strength.

They both wanted to break through each other's defense and slash at the opponent's throat. 

"Sure enough, you're definitely a master. " Oden exclaimed appreciatively: "There are not many people who can block my attack!"

In Oden's attack just now, the impact brought by it was not small, and ordinary people really couldn't bear it. But naturally Will was far from an ordinary person 

"To each each other!"

Will sneered coldly. 

But suddenly, Oden's pupils shrank as he noticed a small detail and a horrified expression appeared on his face.

The strength of holding Enma and Hakibiri unconsciously increased a little bit and the momentum also skyrocketed again, like a fierce tiger ready to devour people.

Seeing this, a smile on the corner of Will's mouth: "Oh, did you find out?"

Oden gritted his teeth angrily:

"Why is the Asuka in your hand?"

He finally recognized the sword clashing against his Enma and Ame no Habakiri. 

It was his former companion, Spencer's sword, who was also a member of the Roger Pirates.

Back then, the other party used to come to him to ask his advice more than once on the path of swordsmanship and they also sparred together frequently to accumulate combat experience, so he was naturally familiar with Asuka.

"Of course this is my trophy after I won a certain battle."

"boom!"

Oden's aura became violent, and his high fighting spirit gradually turned into anger.

"What did you do to Spencer?".

Feeling the sudden increase in pressure from his hand, Will's strength also increased.

"Exactly what you're thinking, I killed him!"

"You bastard, how dare you?!"

Seeing that Will admitted it unabashedly in front of him, even mixed with a flaunting feeling, instantly turned Oden's anger into murderous intent, covering him.

"There is nothing I don't dare to do. And besides, in this sea, no one can escape death when your time has arrived. I can't, he can't, and you can't either!"

"Without even this much basic awareness, what kind of pirates are you?"

"Let me tell you sometimes else. Not only did I kill him, but I also took his head away as a momento. And guess what, you will be no exception either."

"Every single one of your Roger Pirates' head counts as one trophy and I ain't gonna stop until I fill my shelf, which by the way is very large."

Will said word by word with a mocking smile on his face. 

"Aaahhh..."

Oden roared angrily, and his awe-inspiring killing intent almost became substantial. 

"I am going to kill you!"

He said this word by word, his eyes fixed on Will were already blood red.

"Maybe I will kill you before that instead?"

Will replied tit for tat. 

The two looked at each other, as if sparks collided in their eyes.

"Teng!"

Using the force of the shock, Oden jumped back, slammed his feet on the ground and charged at Will again.

Enma and Hakibiri held in his hands quickly slashed out continuously like the blades of a grinding machine. 

But Will stood firm and unafraid, as he swiftly countered his attacks withAsuka , leaving behind multiple afterimages in the air. 

"Ding ding ding..."

The speed of the two was so fast that it was hard to see their figures clearly with the naked eye.

Only the sparks that burst out in the air from time to time proved that they are still here and constantly exchanging blows. 

Oden's two - sword style swordsmanship is indeed very strong, not only does it have fast speed, but also the power of each slash cannot be underestimated.

The most shocking thing is the opponent's exuberant energy and super high fighting talent.

"clang!"

"Ding!"

However, this attack, which was enough to make most people desperate, failed to take advantage of Will!

At this moment, Will fell into a strange state.

His Observation Haki has been operating at maximum power from the start of the battle. Under the fierce attack of Oden, it is inevitable that it will be a little difficult to hold on. 

If it weren't for the perfect level of basic swordsmanship, ensuring that Will would always be able to see through the flaws of Oden's two-sword style at critical moments and counterattack appropriately. 

It is estimated that Will's defenses would have been breached by Oden a long time ago.

Unless, Wills starts to counterattack with his own hole cards.

But he didn't.

Oden is a good opponent. And fighting with such a powerful opponent can make oneself grow up quickly and skip a lot of training time. 

Also, it can help to truly transform the strength Will has gained in the past ten years into his own strength.

Under the strong pressure brought by Oden, Will's Observation Haki alse underwent some mysterious change. 

With the help of the system, his Haki has already reached an advanced level, and is not far from reaching the top level.

And at this stage, there is only one way to advance further. Talented people can awaken the special branch ability of Observation Haki.

And this is the case with Will now.

A mysterious and supernatural feeling came to his heart.

As Oden attacked more furiously and violently, the feeling becomes clearer and more real.

Then, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind out of nowhere. 

Will's movements froze for a moment.

"Screech !"

The sharp edge of Ame no Habakiri  cut through his clothes, leaving behind a scar on his arm and blood started oozing from the wound.

Will finally came out of the strange state and instinctively exploded back, out of range of Oden's attack.

Frowning slightly, he thought about the picture that just appeared in his mind and it made him a little uncomfortable.

His concentration was also affected by it, leading to the flaw just now. 

Even the slightest flaw can turn into a fatal crisis in masters' fight.

"What was that just now?"

Will murmured under his breath thoughtfully. 

But Oden didn't give Will time to think about it, his mind was already affected by the killing intent. He just wanted to kill the person in front of him at all costs to avenge the death of his companion. 

"Left?!"

"Right?!"

But as they fought again, another set of images flashed by in his mind at a very fast speed, not even giving Will a chance to capture its content.

"Ding!"

After suffering from a few more attacks due to his lapse in concentration, Will finally guessed the reason. He didn't forcefully operate the Observation Haki anymore and returned to his normal fighting stance.

Just now, he has touched the threshold of the top Observation Haki, and probably has the qualification to awaken the ability to foresee the future. 

But currently it hasn't fully awakened and it is not stable at all. So for now it is impossible for this ability to play a role in the battle with Oden.

In fact, the way it is now, it might even bring him a crisis.

"Cross Flow Lane!"

Facing the approaching Oden, Will quickly waved the sword in his hand, and a flying slash suddenly appeared in the air.

Two slashes appeared, coalasced together at the middle in the shape of a cross, flying towards the rushing Oden.

These are actually two ordinary slashes.

But with Will's perfect basic swordsmanship, even an ordinary move is comparable to a big move.. 

He is very confident about this. In basic swordsmanship, no one in this world has a higher realm than him!

And the so-called ultimate move is nothing more than a combination of countless basic sword skills before it becomes complex and called advanced.

The way of swordsmanship is from simple to complex, and then from complex to medium, and the illusory peak of swordsmanship is said to be returning to the realm of the basics.

Corresponding to these three realms are the swordsman, the great swordsman, and above the great swordsman.

In other words, Will's simple blow is equivalent to the slash of a great swordsman.

Oden also felt the difficulty of these two slashes.

With a low shout, Enma and Hakibiri slashed forward vigorously, and also met with the two slashes head on. 

"Boom!"

Two explosions sounded, and the slashes of Will and Oden collided with each other.

After a stalemate for a few breaths, they exploded one after another, turning into turbulent waves and wreaking havoc in every direction. 

"Ha!"

Oden let out a stale breath, Will was more difficult to deal with than he could have imagined.

But this could not stop or diminish his determination to kill him. 

His eyes suddenly became sharper.

"Let's see if you can handle this!"
