Chapter 54 That Wasn't a Duel, It Was Just Children Playing House
……
One month later, Dick was still sweating profusely in training.
This time, it’s actual combat.
Find Koshiro to practice with.
When you reach a certain level of domineering, actual combat is the fastest way to improve.
"The sword's speed is not fast enough. Don't use your wrist. Use your elbow. Use the power of your elbow," Koshiro kept instructing while holding the knife.
"Save your strength, and remember to change your moves."
If there is a chance, I will chop it with a knife from time to time.
It's a real knife.
It was a very cruel move.
The injuries were nothing, and Dick almost died several times.
Dick always felt that there was a personal vendetta involved.
"How is that possible, Dick? You are too narrow-minded. This is definitely not a personal grudge." Koshiro said with a serious expression.
Combined with his body shape and tone, he exudes the bearing of a master.
"Haki, swordsmanship, the more brutal the battle, the faster the improvement."
"You have the fire of life, and you can heal any injury. The more pressure you are given, the greater your progress will be."
As long as it doesn't mean disability or death, the greater the pressure, the better.
Koshiro was eager to try the knife in his hand.
Then he slashed out with sword energy again, aiming directly at the heart.
Dick rolled over to avoid it, stepped forward again, and was chopped again.
Regardless of whether Koshiro had any selfish motives, at least there is one thing he said that is right.
The greater the pressure, the faster the progress.
Dick didn't lose out either.
He took the initiative himself.
It's just being chopped off, let the old bitch do it, forget it, he is Kuina's father after all, let the teacher be happy.
However, wait until you become stronger.
Lao Deng, don't blame me for taking over.
Koshiro narrowed his eyes.
How could I not know what Dick was thinking?
However, it doesn’t matter. On the road to becoming the strongest swordsman, strong opponents are an indispensable part.
Therefore, Koshiro became more ruthless and cherished the days when he could ravage Dick at will.
Anyway, looking at Dick's miserable appearance, Koshiro always felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.
It feels like having a cold drink in the hot summer, refreshing from head to toe.
Huhu.
The strong wind suddenly came again, and when it came, it was Dorag's face like a crying child.
"Dick, I need your help."
Dick: ???
Soon, Dick finally knew something.
It can be said that Dick’s vision for the revolutionary army was bright, but the specific steps were bumpy.
A smile, the revolutionary army is still looking.
Violet, the second princess of Dressrosa, ignored Dragon and continued to enjoy her comfortable life as a princess.
The action of inciting the navy to revolt also needs to be carried out slowly.
Perhaps the only good news is that Sky Island’s combat power is not strong, and the Revolutionary Army is fully prepared and ready for a big fight.
This time, Dorag's problem is the two legendary giants on the Little Garden Island.
"Donli and Brockie don't listen to me at all. They insist on deciding the winner. Nothing can stop them from dueling." Dorag was helpless.
90 years ago, two people from East Libroki fought because of a little girl's careless remark: who hunted the bigger prey.
Thus, the two sides began a century-long duel. Of course, it is now 90 years.
"Can't you just beat them into submission? Don't tell me you can't do it."
"They are our future allies, why should we fight? Moreover, if we need to use force to retake them, it means that they are not our comrades with the same ideals. Even if we cooperate, we will never be treated sincerely by Elbaf in the future."
Dick has a toothache. Drago, you are a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Why don't you think about strengthening your combat power at this time? What do you think of being like-minded?
So you've listened in vain about uniting the majority of people.
Why do you care whether he shares the same ideals with you or not?
Winning over those in your hands is what we call combat power.
If you can't win him over, it's nothing.
"So, what you mean is..."
"I want to ask if you have any way to persuade them both."
Dick: (ˉ▽ˉ;)
Dick suddenly realized that Dorag seemed very shameless.
How did he come up with such a obvious request?
However, this shamelessness is extremely beneficial to the revolutionary army.
"Okay, I get it. I'll think of a way."
Little Garden Island is a pristine island full of spring, home to many ancient creatures.
There are all kinds of creatures such as Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Archaeopteryx, etc.
If a biologist came here, he would definitely think he had arrived in heaven.
It would be easy to recreate Jurassic Park.
This is also the duel place between two legendary pirates, Donli and Brocky.
"The sacred duel between the two has been going on for 90 years," said Dorag in awe. "Look, the center of the island has long been razed to the ground by their power."
"And weapons,"
Whether it was Dongli or Brocki, their weapons and shields, even with the blessing of domineering, were already badly damaged.
"So Dick, I really don't know how to persuade them."
The bear nodded in agreement.
After 90 years of confrontation and 90 years of hard work, both of them have forgotten the reason why they dueled in the first place, and only the fight remains.
It is estimated that except for the fact that Elbaf is in danger of destruction, the two giants will definitely turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside.
Nothing can disturb them.
"Simple, let them decide the winner."
"Impossible, they have been dueling for more than 90 years and there is still no winner. How could you..." Dorag's meaning was very clear.
How can you guarantee that the winner can be determined?
"That's for you, it's very simple for me." Dick smiled confidently.
Dragon: ...
"Even if it's two identical people, when it comes to the final moment, the winner can be determined," Dick said with a smile.
Strength never determines victory or defeat. Condition, weather, location, and psychology can all have an impact.
Clapping his hands, Dick came in front of Dongli.
Direct provocation method.
"Dongli, we've been fighting for 90 years without a clear winner. Do you have no intention of settling for a win with Brockie?"
"What? Human, are you insulting me?" Dong Li was furious.
"Isn't it? Is it that hard to determine the winner? In a duel, everything is at stake. There must be a winner and a loser in a duel."
"Hahahaha, you know nothing. Brockie is very strong. Every time we duel, there is no winner."
"That's because you didn't fight until the last minute." Dick interrupted, "Don't rush to refute. Do you stop fighting after reaching a certain point? Or does it end when the time is up? It's a draw.
That wasn't a duel, that was just a child's play."
Dongli was silent, it was true.
"A true duel is a fight to the last moment, at the cost of one's life. As long as one can still stand up and as long as one still has the strength to fight back, one will never stop fighting for life and death.
If you can’t decide the winner in one day, try two days. If you can’t decide the winner in two days, try three days. After a long time, the winner will be decided.
Fight until the last moment, the winner lives and the loser dies, it's that simple."
"For the honor of Elbaf."
"For the honor of Elbaf," Donli murmured to himself, "that's right."
“Fight till the very end.”
