Achieving Nothing, I Can Only Be the Pirate King Chapter 756 - 457: Tactical Application (2)

Puff!!

Drip...

Blood dripped down from his shoulder, as a sword two fingers wide, similar in thickness to the fad sword ’Durandal’, pierced through Sabo’s shoulder, creating a hole.

After a successful strike, a cold gleam flashed in Lily’s eyes as she was about to swing the sword down.

"Fire Fist!"

Gritting his teeth, Sabo redirected his upward striking fist, engulfed in flas, at the front.

Whoosh!

Lily swiftly pulled back her sword, dodging the pillar-like flas, retreating more than ten ters while sheathed the white lightning in reverse, assuming an Iaido stance.

"Thunder Net."

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

The sword, like a fading shadow, carried an inexplicable montum, forming a dense net in front of her, slicing the incoming flas into countless tiny flas.

Whoosh!

Another sword light cut through, accompanied by a surge of impact and wind pressure, extinguishing all the tiny flas, turning them into clouds of smoke that spread between the two of them.

Clang!

As the smoke arose, a hole was imdiately torn open, with a sword light as swift as thunder aiming straight for Sabo’s throat.

Feeling the danger, Sabo stepped back, intending to elentalize, but caught sight of Robin using her ability to create an arm bridge for the others behind him, causing him to grit his teeth and stand his ground.

Clang!!

The sword tip, just in front of his throat, was suddenly halted, as if it had collided with sothing unbreakable, revealing Lily’s figure holding the sword.

"Sabo senior!"

Bartoloo, stepping on Robin’s arm bridge, crossed his hands, his index fingers intertwined, "I’ll block this for you, you should hurry and go!"

"Thanks, Bartoloo!" Sabo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ability..."

Lily could see the transparent barrier, her brow slightly furrowed, taking a deep breath, she assud the Iaido stance again, drawing a shimr from her waist and slashed it upon the barrier in an instant.

Clang!

A crisp sound accompanied by sparks from the sword’s edge echoed, yet it did not hinder the barrier at all.

"My barrier is an absolute defense, no one can breach it!" Bartoloo shouted.

"Absolute defense?"

Lily glanced at him, "I see, it’s a trait of the ability?"

She could cut through anything, but it also depended on the strength.

It hadn’t reached that point yet, and there was no need to test it right now.

"Are all pirates this despicable?"

Holding his bleeding shoulder, Sabo said, "I thought you would kill Rebecca, you gave false information..."

"Despicable? This is strategic use of tactics, your approach only works against Sage, he’s a hero, I’m not. For Sage, I can give up everything. Besides... who do you think I am? A brainless fool?"

Lily sneered slightly, "Exploiting your misunderstanding, taking down the strongest fighter first is what I should do."

Back when she was at East Sea, if not for Sage stopping her, she would have already killed Zephyr with a single sword stroke.

Koala perford well, directly exploited by her, using Koala’s understanding of Lily to create a misunderstanding, which allowed her to harm Sabo in that mont.

This guy isn’t weak, if this continues, who knows how long it’ll drag on, she wasn’t interested in dueling here.

Her sword strike wasn’t low in damage, it was more than just piercing a hole, taking him by surprise and penetrating Sabo’s shoulder, temporarily disabling one of his arms.

With one arm less, the fight would beco simple.

How is this despicable?

If this was despicable, then she wouldn’t have defeated ten thousand with five thousand back then!

Rebecca is of the Royal Family, but not on their territory, whether to kill her or not depends on Doflamingo’s success.

If he wins, then everything’s fine, a win-win situation, Lily gets the list, but will also follow Sage’s instructions to keep Doflamingo’s position and transactions, while she will also hold the upper hand, turning Doflamingo into their controlled distributor over ti.

If he loses...

Then kill them all!

"This barrier, it has a limit, right?"

Lily looked up at the barrier’s edge, under the perception of Observation, she could see the full shape of the barrier, noting it has an area.

Then...

"Thunderbird!"

Sizzle!

Lily suddenly swung her sword upwards, the lightning it drove suddenly flying off, slashing mixed with thunder, severing from the sword blade into more than a dozen, as if alive, spreading wings and swiftly passing the edge of the barrier, rushing to Bartoloo still running on the arm bridge.

Sabo’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Directional slashes?!"

"This is the power of the Demon Sword!" Lily let out a cold smile.

Aqiang’s technique not only fused with the material of the lightning heavy sword, earning the na ’Demon Sword’, not just because it discharges, but because of the powerful and flexible control.

Demon Swords have distinct features.

Extrely sharp but varying in weight, easily rebounding on the owner, is a Demon Sword.

Capable of absorbing others’ Haki is also a Demon Sword.

There’s legend of those that control human minds, amplifying desires to turn the wielder into a Puppet, even capable of rging, as Demon Swords.

And legends speak of absorbing the original killing intent, and if lacking, craving enough to dry a person out as a Demon Sword.

As a Demon Sword, White Lightning’s greatest feature lies in the control from the heart, applied to attacks...

Her Soaring Slashes can transform into countless forms through thunder, and achieve free redirection.

Facing the rapidly attacking soaring Thunderbirds, Bartoloo, startled, instinctively withdrew his barrier, reforming it into a circular do around himself.
