Chapter 90 Techniques

Becker chatted with Creon for a few more words, and only after his breathing calmed down did he look at Dion, his gaze lingered slightly on the thin sword hanging from Dion's waist, and then smiled: "I heard that you are good at swordsmanship?" ”

Speaking of swordsmanship, Dion couldn't help but show a slightly proud attitude, put one hand on the hilt of the sword, and raised his chin slightly: "The best on our ship." ”

Creon added for him: "Originally on board. ”

Becker didn't care about this, and asked Dion with interest: "Did you learn your swordsmanship in the navy?" ”

"No," Dion shook his head, then worried that Becker would think he was playing with him, and continued, "It's a local swordsmanship in the North Sea. ”

Hanging from Dieng's waist was a weapon shaped like a Western thin sword, and Becker had been learning swords for a while, and he still had an eye, and he could see at a glance that this kind of sword was narrow and slender, good for stabbing but almost impossible to slash, and it was a weapon that was very different from the knife and scimitar he was used to.

The use of this weapon requires special skills and power methods, and Becker is now in a state of inquisitive swordsmanship, so he is eager to see the swordsmanship from the North Sea.

"Would you like to try it out with me?" Becker patted the scabbard hanging from his waist and asked half-jokingly, "I use the swordsmanship of the East China Sea, and you use the swordsmanship of the North Sea." ”

"Okay!" Dion agreed without saying a word, but Creon couldn't stop him.

After all, Dieng is just a young man, and he is not as young as Becker on the outside, but he is actually an uncle on the inside, full of vitality and momentum.

The East China Sea is known as the weakest sea area, and the prejudice against the East Sea pirates is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Becker said that using the East China Sea swordsmanship to compete with Dion's North Sea swordsmanship, Dion felt that he could not lose the face of the North Sea people - even though he is now working as a navigator under an East China Sea pirate.

When the pirates on the deck saw that their captain was going to test their swordsmanship with the navigator, they all scattered to watch, vacating the bow deck, and some ran to the cabin to call people, as if watching a play.

The two men came to stand in the middle of the deck, and Dieng seemed to be pleased with the growing crowd, and drew his sword and danced before making a move.

Although Koshiro's "Ichi-ryu Flow" does not rigidly emphasize the movement of moves and pays attention to the application of live learning, in the beginner period, students undoubtedly have to learn the basic movements of swordsmanship first, and these basic moves and movements are not only deeply rooted in the body memory of students such as Becker, but also deeply into his mind, almost becoming a habit for him.

Dieng's current starting hand style is "ugly" in Becker's eyes, he is half-crouching, his upper body is straight, facing Becker completely on the side of his body, and the thin sword is facing in front of his gaze, and as for his chest, it is almost parallel to the ground.

Dieng wore a slightly tight pair of trousers, and the squatting gesture made him look funny, and a few of the more knowledgeable spectators burst into laughter, but Becker could see the mystery of the starter.

Becker activated the Devil Fruit ability, and the weight of his body gradually became lighter, and in the process, he could clearly perceive the more and more obvious weight of the knife on his waist, and the power of the sea breeze was gradually clearly perceived by his body.

Becker even had the illusion that the sea breeze was blowing beneath him, trying to blow him into the sky.

Dion saw Becker standing upright like this, and asked a question: "Captain?" ”

"You're ready, let's get started." Becker still didn't draw his knife, or even make a start.

"Then I'll strike first!" Dion felt that he was being looked down upon, and his face was not very good-looking, and then he rushed out as if a spring had been installed under him.

It was as if a large, invisible hand had grasped the tip of Dion's sword, as if the sword had not been stabbed by him, but had been dragged forward by the sword itself.

A bolt of lightning flashed in the void, and in the blink of an eye, Dion's cold-lit sword tip rushed in front of Becker and stabbed him in the shoulder.

Becker, who uses the Devil Fruit to lighten his body, is far more sensitive to air currents than usual, but the air currents brought up when Dion's rapier stabs out are blown into Becker one step ahead of the sword.

Becker did not exert his strength to maintain his center of gravity, but turned slightly sideways with the force brought by this air current, and to outsiders, he seemed to be an understatement and shook his shoulders, and dodged Dion's sword.

I don't know how many times Dieng practiced this move, whether it was the distance between himself and the enemy, which was based on experience, or the grasp of his own strength and speed, he was quite confident, and Becker dodged it so easily, which made his heart sink.

However, Dieng was not discouraged, and in the blink of an eye, he withdrew the rapier, and his body, stretched out by the stab, retracted as quickly as possible, like a pressed spring, and then popped out again, and another swift sword stabbed into Becker's thigh.

But Becker's half-step back frustrated Dieng's attack.

Dieng stabbed one after another, but was easily avoided by Becker, the surrounding pirates were stunned, no matter how bad the knowledge was, they could also see that Dieng's swordsmanship was fast and accurate, and another person might have been stabbed before he could react, but Becker was like a prophet, always dodging by a fraction of a second, not being hurt by a hair, and he has not pulled out his sword until now.

Becker calmed down to feel the force, his body felt as light as a ball of air, and at this time, his body could more easily sense the heavy sword at his waist, which generated inertia with his movement, which in turn drove Becker's now extremely light body.

Koshiro said that the sword is an extension of the swordsman's body.

At this moment, Becker seemed to have an understanding in his heart.

After dodging Dieng's attack again, Becker stood still, his center of gravity sinking slightly, and drew his sword from its sheath.

The friction between the blade and the scabbard had never been clearer in Becker's perception, and as Becker's weight increased, the force he needed to draw the knife increased rapidly.

The moment Becker unsheathed his sword, his power was at its peak.

The sword flashed, and it fell on Dion's thin sword, and the castration of the knife did not decrease, only to hear a crisp sound, and the thin sword broke into two sections.

Dion stopped attacking, stared blankly at the half-broken sword in his hand, and then said convincingly, "I lost, captain." ”

Becker was not proud, comforted Dion a few words, Becker is a humble and studious person, although the winner of this competition is him, but he still feels that Dieng's swordsmanship has merit, especially the skill of stabbing force, can learn from each other's strengths, since he has now shattered his pride from the other party's proud swordsmanship field, he is ready to find time to ask Dieng to learn.
