Broken Blade Pirate?

Shing!!

A loud sound echoed in the forest, and the next moment, flocks of birds flew out in panic.

Immediately afterwards, huge smoke and dust rose from the forest, and dozens of dead trees collapsed in the smoke and dust.

A month has passed. Shanks looked at the sword in his hand with great emotion in his heart. In the past month, his swordsmanship has improved rapidly. He is worthy of being called the Four Emperors. With such talent, he can become one of the Four Emperors with real strength.

Over the past month, Shanks could feel his own progress every day, and he was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Getsuga Tensho!"

There was a flash of sword light, and all the smoke and dust around were cleared away.

"The swordplay in the pirate world is truly terrifying. It's incredible that they can use their skills to such an extent that they can even cut through the air with a sword and control wind pressure."

With just a few slashes, the dust around him was cleared away. Shanks once again sighed at the power system of the pirate world. It was not that he was strong, but that the power system of the pirate world was strong enough.

This is the technique of swordsmanship. In just one month, Shanks has mastered several techniques.

"But that's not enough. To be able to cut the iceberg like Hawkeye, it's not enough. At least you have to learn Armament Haki."

"There is still a big difference between Armament Haki and Tekkai. Although both are related to life energy, it is probably not possible to rely solely on iron body to achieve Armament Haki coverage without the body."

As he spoke, Shanks directly mobilized the energy in his body.

During this month, he has been able to mobilize the invisible energy in his body.

The next moment, Shanks's sword was covered with a layer of invisible energy, and the flow of air around it was also affected by this energy.

Shing!!

Shanks swung his sword, and a terrifying sword light directly cut through the air. The surrounding air began to tear apart, and the next second, a strange sword energy appeared directly in the torn air, an arc shaped like crescent moon .

The sword energy appeared quickly, but disappeared just as quickly.

But the water in the lake not far away that was cut by the sword light did not recover. The cracked lake surface has verified the horror of Shanks' swordsmanship, but... it is not enough.

Shanks doesn't dare to follow the path of the protagonist. If he doesn't have the armament color and happens to meet a person with the ability of a nature-type fruit, he will really have no choice but to run away.

"Nature-type ability users are really tricky."

Shanks had no idea what to do and could only continue practicing.

What he can do now is to continue to use his spirit and will to condense this power, so that this power in his body can truly cover the weapon.

Anyway, Shanks had no plans to go out to sea until he can cover his sword with haki.

Being able to achieve armament haki is the most basic requirement for sailing to the seas.

On the other side, on the coast at the edge of the forest, a small boat was moored on the shore, and a strong smell of blood came.

Then a man dragged his tired body out of the boat.

The man was wrapped in bandages, his upper body was stained with blood, and he was holding a broken knife in his hand. Only the handle was left of the knife, but in the man's hand, it was still a murder weapon.

After the Third Shinobi World War, peace returned to the Ninja World, at least on the surface.

But in fact, not long after the Third Ninja World War, Konoha's Fourth Hokage died in the village, the Sand Village fell into chaos, and the Mist Village also fell into the chaos of the blood mist policy.

The remaining Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village are dealing with the troubles left over from the Third Ninja World War. Despite this "peace", the entire Ninja world is still undercurrents.

Peace has never existed.

At least for Zabuza, he had never seen it.

"Hahaha, I'm alive again. It's not that easy to kill me, Momochi Zabuza."

Lying on the beach by the shore, Zabuza looked up at the sky and laughed wildly.

"Mizukage, I will make you pay."

Zabuza looked at the broken beheading sword in his hand and a bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

He would definitely make the Mizukage pay the price, but not now because he did not have the strength to do so.

Because the Hidden Mist Village has not only the Mizukage, but also many other ninjas. What's more, the power of the tailed beasts is not something that an elite jonin like him can resist.

"Strange, why is the wind blowing towards the lake?"

Zabuza took off his forehead protector. His physical injuries were not optimistic now. As an experienced ninja, he would not reveal his identity at this time.

Seeing the clouds falling in the sky a few kilometers away, Zabuza felt a little curious.

"Could it be some powerful ninja beast that caused this?"

Zabuza was filled with confusion.

If it really is some kind of ninja beast, it would be an opportunity for him. If he could sign a contract to become a summoning beast, it would be a great help.

But now he may not be able to face such a powerful ninja beast.

After thinking about it, Zabuza decided to go into the forest as it was too dangerous at the beach.

After a while, Zabuza, after dealing with the boat, walked towards the forest.

Zabuza also discovered some clues on the way. There were very few animals in the forest. Based on Zabuza's experience, this situation might have occurred because there were some powerful creatures in the forest.

However, as he continued forward, Zabuza became more and more shocked.

There were countless gullies on the ground and broken trees.

This horrifying scene showed how terrifying the ferocious beast living in this place was. Judging from its destructive power alone, it was second only to the tailed beast that Zabuza had seen.

But as Zabuza continued to move forward, he did not find any traces of ferocious beasts. Instead, a small house by the lake not far away appeared.

Outside the hut, a "samurai" dressed as a civilian with a strawhat was closing his eyes and holding his sword tightly in his hand.

A terrifying energy was condensed onto the sword by the man, and that energy gave Zabuza a creepy feeling.

There are no ferocious beasts, no powerful ninja beasts. The most powerful person in this place is the man in front of him.

"Red hair?"

Zabuza noticed the hair of the civilian-dressed "samurai".

"It's good that it is not a ninja."

Zabuza breathed a sigh of relief after knowing the other party's identity.
