Chapter 53: Stronger Again! The Supreme Grade Great Sword: Shodai Kitetsu! (1/3)
Supreme Grade Sword!
There were only 12 in the entire world. These 12 treasured swords were scattered across the globe, almost all in the hands of famous grandmaster swordsmen. Some had been lost, waiting quietly in some corner of the world for a fated person.
It could be said that a Supreme Grade Sword was something one could only hope to encounter by chance. Since he had encountered one, how could Rono let it go?
Clink!
Rono sheathed Kotetsu at his waist and walked over to the severed arm. The severed arm was still twitching, tightly gripping the Shodai Kitetsu.
"'The Vile One'! What is he trying to do!"
The sword-wielding Five Elder's eyes widened!
"Quick... stop him!"
The sword-wielding Five Elder understood Rono's intentions and was instantly shocked.
This guy wanted to take the Shodai Kitetsu!
No, absolutely not!
This wasn't some common cabbage; it was one of only 12 Supreme Grade Swords in the world. Even the World Government had to expend a great deal of effort to obtain such a sword! After all, there were only 12 in the world; with each one used, there was one less!
Such a treasured sword was a rare find!
How could they let "The Vile One" get it for free!
Moreover, ever since the Shodai Kitetsu was forged, it had always been in the hands of the World Government, held by the Five Elders in succession! Once an old Five Elder stepped down, and a new one took their place, the old one would have to hand over the Shodai Kitetsu to the new one!
Such a legendary sword absolutely could not be taken by Rono!
"Damn it! We must stop him!"
"That's a Supreme Grade Sword, we can't let 'The Vile One' get it!"
"The Shodai Kitetsu must not fall into the hands of others!"
The eyes of the other Five Elders were instantly filled with vigilance!
Rono's strength was growing at a rocket-like pace! If he were to switch his sword from a Great Grade Sword to a Supreme Grade Sword, his strength would undoubtedly take another step forward!
He could already cut off the arm of an Admiral-level powerhouse!
After he changed swords, he might be cutting off heads next!
He had to be stopped!
"'The Vile One'! Don't even think about it!"
The old man in the suit who was fighting the Golden Lion immediately wanted to rush forward and stop Rono.
"Hey, hey, I'm the captain of the Rocks Pirates' Second Division. You dare to ignore me?"
"You're looking down on me too much!"
The Golden Lion snorted coldly and unleashed a terrifying sword slash, blocking the path of the old man in the suit!
On the other side, Rocks and Whitebeard also firmly held back the other three Five Elders!
Rono, unimpeded, arrived before the severed arm!
"Damn it! How much longer until I recover!!"
Kong was burning with anxiety and also wanted to go and stop Rono! But his body hadn't recovered yet, so he could only watch helplessly!
It wasn't just Kong.
Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, and the others were all grinding their teeth!
It would still take some time to recover!
So they could only watch as Rono walked up to the severed arm of the sword-wielding Five Elder.
The severed arm was still twitching, tightly gripping the Shodai Kitetsu.
"This Shodai Kitetsu is mine now."
Rono bent down and took the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand.
The next moment!
Whoosh, whoosh!
The moment he gripped it, the Shodai Kitetsu instantly erupted with an intimidating aura!
A hazy black mist suddenly appeared on the blade!
Then, this black mist seemed to let out a hoarse growl, tightly wrapping around Rono's right arm!
"Interesting... an astonishing demonic aura. As expected of a Supreme Grade Sword, it's not just a little bit stronger than a Great Grade Sword."
Feeling the tightness in his right arm, Rono's eyes lit up.
It felt as if it was going to devour his right arm whole!
His Haki was being absorbed by the Shodai Kitetsu!
"Are you trying to test if I'm worthy of using you?"
Rono could feel the challenge coming from the Shodai Kitetsu!
Without a doubt, this was the sword choosing its master!
A good sword also had its own consciousness!
If a weak person tried to use a famous sword, they would be swallowed by the sword's own aura!
This was also why famous swords were always in the hands of grandmaster swordsmen!
If you weren't a grandmaster swordsman, you simply couldn't control a famous sword; instead, you would be consumed by the sword itself, having all your Haki devoured!
Just like Enma from the original story!
In severe cases, one could even have all their Haki devoured by the sword and die directly!
"Interesting... really interesting..."
"I accept your challenge!"
A faint smile appeared on Rono's lips.
Then, his aura began to rise continuously, and a crimson Conqueror's Haki erupted from Rono's body!
"Be quiet!"
Rono roared, and his Conqueror's Haki immediately intertwined with the black mist emanating from the Shodai Kitetsu!
The crimson Conqueror's Haki began to envelop the black mist from all directions.
The mist initially wanted to resist, trying to break through the Conqueror's Haki at its weak points.
However, after persisting for a while, the mist, realizing it was no match, gradually dissipated.
"Do you acknowledge me as your master now?"
Feeling the sword intent emanating from the blade itself, Rono gripped the Shodai Kitetsu tightly in his hand!
At this moment, the Shodai Kitetsu showed no more resistance, displaying complete submission!
Done!
The Supreme Grade Sword, Shodai Kitetsu, had been tamed by him!
The feeling was completely different from Kotetsu. The sword intent of the Shodai Kitetsu was more intense and heavy!
With just a slight push from him, the sword itself would automatically absorb the Haki and swordsmanship from his body!
A good sword was definitely a great boost to swordsmanship!
"Damn it! That 'Vile One' actually tamed the Shodai Kitetsu!"
The sword-wielding Five Elder almost fainted!
The sword that had been with him for so many years had so easily submitted to someone else?
"Now, the strength of 'The Vile One' will definitely take another step forward!"
The hearts of the four Five Elders, Kong, Sengoku, and the other Marine powerhouses instantly sank to the bottom!
His talent was already monstrous enough!
Now he had obtained a Supreme Grade Sword!
Without a doubt, the strength of "The Vile One" would grow again on top of his original foundation!
The danger level of the Rocks Pirates had to be raised again!
"However, the war isn't over yet!"
"Celestial Dragons, all of you go to hell!"
After dealing with the sword-wielding Five Elder, Rono's consumption was also great, and he had used Haki to tame the Shodai Kitetsu.
At this moment, Rono was in a weakened state.
But killing a few useless Celestial Dragons was still more than enough!
"Not good! Quick, stop 'The Vile One'! He's going to attack the Celestial Dragons!"
The sword-wielding Five Elder shouted again. Rono was finally preparing to attack the Celestial Dragons!
However, no matter how much he shouted, it was useless!
The four Five Elders present were firmly held back by Rocks, Whitebeard, and the Golden Lion.
There were also four Division Commanders entangled with CP0.
On the Marine side, besides Tsuru, who was not good at fighting, Kong, Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and the other Admiral-level powerhouses had not yet fully recovered!
Some Rear Admirals and Vice Admirals simply couldn't stop Rono.
The outcome of such a situation was predictable!
It was a complete one-sided slaughter!
"Ah!!"
Screams rang out again!
Almost one kill per slash. In a short period of time, three more Celestial Dragons died on the spot
