About five minutes later.

Two more slashes appeared in front of Zoro's body, and he fell to the ground covered in blood, and the three knives were scattered everywhere.

Yes, he had lost to Vivian again, and this time also after casting the Three Thousand Worlds of the Three Swords.

However, at the moment when the blade was about to slash into Vivian's body, he was dodged with a speed that was dazzling to him, and then used a lightning slash to completely defeat him.

"Completely.. Not a level .."

He couldn't help but sigh.

That guy not only completely crushed him in terms of speed, but even the strength completely suppressed himself...

But since I was a child, I have done so much strength training, why is there still such a big gap by the other party?

Obviously, this guy looks just like him, just an ordinary human being...

Is it because I'm not trying hard enough?

"If he can have the physical fitness he has now, he must have trained countless times more cruel than me, right?"

I couldn't help but think like this, and at the same time, I began to reflect, it seems that I still haven't worked hard enough.

"Are you convinced? Roronoa Sauron. Vivian asked.

Hearing this, Zoro narrowed his eyes, glanced at Vivian, and replied, "One day, I will definitely defeat you." ”

"Yo, you're ambitious, young man."

Vivion couldn't help but laugh again, and at the same time inserted the blood demon back into the scabbard, stepped forward, and reached out with a star infusion, which completely healed the knife on Zoro's body.

"Since I've been defeated twice, I think I'm convinced. Anyway, do you want to learn the sword skills from me? ”

"Huh?"

Still immersed in the shock that his injuries were healed in an instant, Zoro was stunned again when he heard this.

"Why, don't you look down on my lightning swordsmanship?" Vivian Road.

"Lightning Swordsmanship.."

To be honest, with such a handsome sword skill, it is naturally impossible to say that he is not impressed.

And if it were to be changed to before, Sauron might still uphold his own kendo and only want to create his own sword skills, but now...

After the Battle of Chambord, he really needed to get stronger.

Not for anything else, just to protect your partner.

So, before Vivian could continue to open his mouth to seduce, he got up, knelt down in front of Vivian, and said, "Please also teach me the sword skills just now!" ”

Vivian: (⊙o⊙)?

This time it was his turn to look surprised.

But then I think about it, in the original book, in order to become stronger, Zoro chose to worship Hawkeye Mihawk, whom he has always regarded as a target and opponent, as a teacher, and suddenly felt unsurprising.

"Very good.. So let's get started now. ”

Vivien said, pulling the Blood Fiend straight back into the capsule.

There was no time to be surprised by Vivian's operation of turning the knife into nothingness at this moment, Zoro just asked very puzzled: "Practice sword skills.. Don't you use a sword? ”

"No, you don't."

Vivian shook his head and said, "I have a question for you before practicing my sword skills. Don't you wonder why I didn't eat the Devil Fruit, but I was able to slash the thunderbolt with my knife? ”

Sauron: ∠(°ゝ°)

"Aren't you a Devil Fruit powerhouse?"

Vivian: "......"

"It's not."

"I see."

Sauron's mouth widened.

He had thought that Vivian was really some kind of fruit ability similar to Anilu.

"So, I can also swing lightning like the one I did?"

"That's right."

Vivian nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that you finally got the point I said.

"But before you can learn my sword skills, you have to practice something called breathing."

"Breathing?" Zoro tilted his head.

Vivian turned his back and put his hands behind his back and said, "The so-called breathing method is a method that can only be mastered through continuous special practice day and night. ”

"It can strengthen the heart and lungs in a short period of time, so that the blood can absorb a large amount of oxygen, and then the body's ability to be greatly improved, not only speed, but also strength and resistance to blows."

It is no exaggeration to say that with Vivian's physical fitness that has accumulated over time, coupled with the breathing method, he even feels that he can resist Kaido's thunderous gossip head-on without fainting.

But only in the past without fainting.

After all, his current strength, in his own opinion, must be far from being compared to a strong man like the Four Emperors.

"What special training method?"

"Come on, without the help of blades and domineering, crack that boulder with your bare hands." Vivian Road.

Hearing this, Zoro looked in the direction of Vivian's finger, and behold, a round boulder with a height of five or six meters had been lifted to the edge of the clearing at some point, and was standing there alone, as if waving at Sauron.

Zoro: "......"

Crackling open boulders with bare hands?

Sauron, who had just reached the realm of slaying iron, suddenly became a little troubled.

If I really want to do it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it with my current strength alone, right?

He thought to himself, but his eyes were full of determination, and he resolutely walked in the direction of the boulder.

"Then you practice slowly first, when will it crack, and when will it come to me."

Vivian said, leaving the playground without turning his head.

But at the same time, I was thinking: Sauron, can you really crack that thing?

I'm afraid not, right?

"Forget it, wait for him to practice for a month or two, and then teach him the tricks of the real breathing method."

You have to let the apprentice suffer a little hardship and frustration, so that you can respect the master more.

So, Vivian walked happily and ran directly back to his second-story villa.

...

Inside the villa.

Hannibal was reading the newspaper, and on the side, Domino helped Vivian make tea, brought it to him, and said, "Vivian, now the whole world is reporting about you." ”

"My business?" Picking up the teacup, Vivian was slightly stunned.

"yes, see for yourself." Hannibal said, turning the pages of the newspaper and throwing it in front of Vivian.

Vivian took it and said, "Navy Nova, a man who can compete with the Fourth Emperor's Vice-Guard, the Immortal Bird Marko." "The Thunder Sword Hao Vivian, the power of a sword, can make the Whitebeard Pirates fearful. ”

Headlines like these appeared in the newspapers, and the corners of Vivian's mouth twitched.

"I'm afraid this article was written by the government's newspapers, right?"

Grunted as he moved his gaze to another page of the newspaper.

"Sharpshooter, Logett Ralvin appeared in Marin Vando and single-handedly rescued Whitebeard!"

"Rivaling the three admirals of the Navy, how terrifying is the strength of Sharpshooter Ralvin?"

Vivian: "......"

These unscrupulous media are really exaggerated enough.

"Loggett Ralvin, suspected of joining the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Or a replacement for Boskas D. Ace, the new captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates is actually Loggett Ralvin? ”

"Logett Ralvine, with a bounty of 1.25 billion Bailey, a strong candidate for the future Four Emperors?"

For a moment, looking at such a news headline, Vivian couldn't help but light a cigar and began to feel melancholy for the real Loggett Ralvin.
