The Perfect Swordsmanship

"Kyros-san, I am very sorry to disturb your battle. However, can you let me deal with that one?"

Kuina, who was holding a sword with a white scabbard in her hand, slowly walked toward Kyros. Her expression was extremely serious. Her gaze was fixed on Warblade Mokoron. "As a swordsman, I can not forgive that type of person."

"Huh? Why does a little girl like you think you can lecture me about being a swordsman?" Mokoron mocked Kuina before Kyros could respond. Despite that, he was cautious when he saw Kuina appear because he didn't feel another presence there. He thought that Kyros was the only one there and did not expect there was a little girl.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I will make sure others don't get in your way." Although Kyros had never seen Kuina fight, his boss had allowed Kuina to fight, so he had no reason to object.

Moreover, he also knew that this little girl was Ugetsu Asari's disciple. Even if she was only nine years old, she was not someone to be looked down upon!

After nodding at Kyros to express her gratitude, Kuina slowly took her stance and said, "Wado Ichimonji, one of the 21 Great Grade Swords, I will use this sword to kill you!"

"Whoa, now that is something. I didn't think that a little girl like you would have a Great Grade sword. Today is my lucky day. Not only can I get rid of the Captain of Dressrosa's Royal Army, but I can also get a Great Grade sword. With this weapon, my strength will definitely rise to another level!"

Mokoron instantly became excited. He completely underestimated Kuina, and he was completely focused on Wado Ichimonji.

In this world, Named Blades were divided into 50 Skillful Grade Blades, 21 Great Grade Blades, and the highest quality, 12 Supreme Grade Blades. Coming across 12 Supreme Grade Blades was not that easy. The only confirmed Supreme Great Blades now were only the Black Blade in Hawkeye's possession, Yoru, Murakumogiri that belonged to Whitebeard, and one of the Five Elders' swords, Onizaki!

"Let me see you try!"

The Dying Will Ring on Kuina's hands instantly ignited a blue flame. Under the guidance of Ugetsu Asari, she had already awakened Rain Flame despite being only nine years old.

Then, she enveloped her blade with Rain Flame as she charged at Mokoron at a speed that was hard to follow with naked eyes and launched a fierce attack.

"Shigure Soen Ryu 1st form: Axle of Rain!"

That was right. Ugetsu Asari had already taught Shigure Soen Ryu to Kuina, and Kuina's talent in swordsmanship allowed her to succeed this strongest Sword Style. However, she had only succeeded it and had yet to create her own Shigure Soen Ryu. After all, what she inherited was the style of the Tenth Generation Rain Guardian - Yamamoto

In other words, the current Kuina could only be considered Shigure Soen Ryu's user, not its true successor.

Even so, Kuina was already quite powerful!

"Damn it, what kind of speed is this? There's no way a little girl like her have decent swordsmanship?"

Mokoron, who laughed at Kuina earlier, was panicking now. He didn't expect his opponent to charge toward him in just a blink of an eye with a power like a stream of blue water. Moreover, the blade of Kuina's sword was pointed directly at his chest. If he reacted too slowly, then he'd lose his life!

"Clank!"

Almost at that instant, Mokoron used his sword to block Kuina's sudden thrust. The two weapons clashed with each other and made a loud sound.

At the same time, Mokoron also used the force of his opponent's thrust to distance himself from Kuina. After creating some distance between them, he dished out a flying slash attack toward Kuina.

"Shigure Soen Ryu, 7th form: Splashing Rain!"

In the face of the incoming sword qi, Kuina's body reacted very naturally. She held her sword backward and spun, creating a whirlwind-like shield. The moment the flying slash attack touched the water barrier, Rain Flame's Tranquility weakened it before it eventually dissipated.

Following that, she used the water wall to block the opponent's line of sight. After spinning, Kuina's elbow immediately struck the hilt of her sword, sending her Rain Flame-coated sword toward Mokoron at lightning speed.

"Shigure Soen Ryu, 3rd form: Last Minute Rain!"

Each of her moves was so fluid. Shigure Soen Ryu's forms were perfect for actual combat as it was created to deal with different opponents, different timing, and different users to use the corresponding techniques.

Therefore, those who cultivated Shigure Soen Ryu had to know which technique to use according to the situation!

Seizing this opportunity was necessary to kill the enemy. Shigure Soen Ryu was the notorious "Deadly Sword Style"!

"Don't look down on me!"

When Mokoron saw Kuina's sword flying towards him, he instantly roared. Color of Arms Haki immediately enveloped his sword. However, his Color of Arms Haki was not that powerful as he had just learned it not long ago.

However, he could still use basic usage like hardening. After covering his sword with Color of Arms Haki, he swung his sword and sent Wado Ichimonji flying.

At this moment, Kuina had already leaped up. She caught Wado Ichimonji in her palm and sheathed it. She was clearly preparing to do the re-sheathing technique.

After making her preparations, her body used the force of her descent to quickly close the distance with her opponent before slashing her opponent.

"Shigure Soen Ryu, 8th form: Pouring Rain!"

This strike was as fast as lightning. It did not give the opponent any time to react at all. Mokoron himself had no way to deal with the attack that was coming straight at him.

In the next moment, the glint of the sword flashed, and Rain Flame also slashed through his neck. Mokoron's eyes gradually lost their light, and then his body fell to the ground!

With his strength, he shouldn't have lost that quickly, even if he was no match against Kuina, regardless. Unfortunately, when he saw that his opponent was a little girl, he let his guard down.
