Chapter 690: Give As Much As You Want!
【Swish swish swish swish—Clang clang clang—】
On a flat Grass Court outside the Main Hall of Noah's Ark.
The Ubuyashiki Four Sisters and Kuja Guards waiting at the Edge silently watched the Scene Inside the Court where Blade Light flickered and figures were completely indistinguishable.
The Clanging Sound, Accompanied By the continuous whistling of Blades and clashing of Swords, was intense yet had a crisp and pleasant rhythm.
It seemed as if the two parties fighting were not engaged in Combat, but were jointly performing a peculiar piece of Music with their Blades.
Inside the Court.
Longinus had long since transformed into blurry Afterimages invisible to the naked eye.
The Seven Star Sword in his Hand emitted a great Green Light, and the strange green Monster Fire, wrapped around dense Sword Light, made the Scene look more like a large expanse of surging Green Fire burning fiercely on the Lawn.
This seemed to complement the Green Space above their heads quite well.
In the center.
Im stood in place, holding his Nichirin Blade, 'Xihe'.
He casually blocked the roaring eerie green sea of fire assailing him from all directions, as well as the tricky Blade Light hidden within attempting a Sneak Attack.
And every time he Counterattacked with a Blade.
It would always startle Longinus, make his back break out in cold sweat, and then he would muster up Courage again, grit his teeth, and launch a fiercer Offensive.
However, neither the Sharpness of the Seven Star Sword nor the enchanting green Monster Fire.
Could break through the three-meter range in front of Im.
"Relax, Longinus. You need to make your Blade softer. Right now, your Swordsmanship is too rigid."
"Also, the sense of separation between you and the Seven Star Sword in your Hand is too strong."
"Use your Effort to feel its emotions. If you can't do that, then you will forever remain a second-rate Swordsman."
Im, holding 'Xihe' in his Right Hand, dragged Afterimages, constructing an impenetrable layer of Defense around him, seemingly slow but actually fast, while also precisely pointing out the problems in the opponent's Swordsmanship.
"Make the Blade softer..."
While Longinus's movements didn't stop, he pondered this sentence in his Mind. He seemed to have grasped something, yet couldn't quite seize the key point.
"Lord Imu, this Seven Star Sword seems to only contain greed for blood and endless Killing Intent. If I keep feeling its emotions, I might..."
"A Sword, no matter what, is ultimately just a tool. The Swordsman is the one who wields this tool."
Im answered the other party's Doubt in a calm tone.
"Don't shy away from your Sword, and even less should you Fear it. Look directly at its greed, face its Killing Intent, and at the same time, preserve your original Heart. In this process, your Will will naturally be Trained/Exercised."
Longinus hesitated upon hearing this and said, "But what if I lose my Rationality..."
"It doesn't Matter, I will make a move."
Im smiled indifferently.
"Remember."
"The Gap between a Sword Master and a Great Swordsman lies not only in the Physical Strength of the Substance, but also in the Realm level of the Mind."
"The former can vaguely feel the Rhythm of the Breath of All Things, but can only let their Body follow the Blade, while the latter can make their Blades move with their Heart."
As soon as the words fell, a 'Clang' of Clash of Weapons suddenly echoed In the Court.
The next second.
The Ubuyashiki Sisters and others outside saw the fiercely burning Green Fire, like patches of phantom images, dissipate with the Wind.
Immediately after, a Long Sword with a green glowing Blade spun high in the air, finally plunging straight into the Grass Court not far away.
"Let's stop here for today."
Im put 'Xihe' back into its Scabbard, glanced at Stussy who appeared at the Edge of the Court, and then his Gaze returned to Longinus, who was half-kneeling on the ground opposite him, heavily panting.
Although it was only a short three hours.
Every time Im's Blade Counterattacked, Longinus would feel a strong sense of death crisis.
This was very strange.
He clearly knew in his Heart that Lord Imu would not kill him.
But every time he faced the incoming 'Xihe' Blade, he would always feel an uncontrollable Fear and Despair, and then after successfully dodging, he would subconsciously feel fortunate and have lingering fear.
This process repeated constantly, making Longinus's Mind incredibly fatigued at this moment.
"Child, as a Swordsman, you must get used to death and Killing Intent, viewing them as the gentle breeze blowing around you. Enjoy them, and then use them."
"Make good use of your Seven Star Sword..."
After speaking, Im turned and left.
Longinus behind him watched his figure gradually disappear in a daze, then turned his head to look at the Seven Star Sword not far away, where only the Sword hilt was still on the ground.
【Whoosh whoosh whoosh————】
At this moment, a gust of Wind blew, ruffling Longinus's Red-Hair and the hem of his clothes.
It was strange.
Noah's Ark was located within the Door-Door Fruit Space, so there shouldn't be any Wind, but Longinus didn't care about these Matters.
He forced himself to Stand Up despite his fatigued Mind, walking step by step towards the Seven Star Sword.
"Lord Imu, I will not disappoint you..."
He, Cassius Longinus, will definitely defend your Glory with the Sword in his Hand and burn your enemies with the fire within him!
The next moment.
Longinus gripped the Sword hilt and pulled out the Seven Star Sword.
He immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and at the same time, sank his Mind into the 'World' within the Sword, which was like a vast Sea of Blood.
Just as Im had said before, face the Bloodthirst and Killing Intent of the Seven Star Sword directly!
"Hehehe, this Kid is indeed good..."
In the distance, Im secretly praised in his Heart, noticing Longinus's actions behind him.
Although doing this while forcing himself despite his fatigued Mind seemed a bit reckless, with himself providing protection, there was actually no Risk.
"Lord Imu, Empress Esdeath sent News just now."
Stussy, following Im towards the Harem, said softly, "She successfully absorbed and Cultivated Natural Energy in the North Pole of the Imperial Arms World and has now arrived at Balutters Town."
"Oh?"
Im raised an eyebrow. It seems Humans can also absorb Natural Energy like those Super Dangerous Beast.
Thus, following Martial Arts, Swordsmanship, and Haki, the World Government has gained another Training System, which is definitely a great thing.
"Empress Esdeath mentioned that the Beast Form and Human-Beast Form of the Kirin Fruit can effectively improve the Efficiency of absorbing Ice Attribute Natural Energy."
"But she is not sure if other Zoan Fruit also have this Effect."
"Because the Basic Abilities of the Kirin Fruit are controlling sleep and Fear."
"Leave this to the Academy of Science to verify."
Im nodded, then began giving instructions.
"Oh right, because Utgard's Body Size is too large, ten liters of 'Crimson Lotus Blood' are not enough to affect his entire Body, so you need to make a trip to shrink his Body, and then have him drink the 'Crimson Lotus Blood'."
"You must clearly Understand the Effect of 'Crimson Lotus Blood' on Ice/Snow Natural Type Ability User, and then have him try to absorb Natural Energy in the North Pole of the Imperial Arms World."
"If it is ultimately found that there are no problems, send the twenty liters of blood next month to Aokiji."
At the same time, Im thought to himself, if 'Crimson Lotus Blood' is indeed effective, then he should find a Method to get the blood of the other few Super Dangerous Beast as well.
For example, what kind of Effect would the blood of the 'Divine Azure Dragon' have if given to Kaido?
"Yes."
Immediately after, Stussy reported, "Lord Imu, the Paramecia Brain-Brain Fruit has been sent to Dean Vegapunk's private Research Island, 'Egghead'."
"Good."
Im didn't pay much attention. It was just a Devil Fruit. As long as Vegapunk had a legitimate reason, he would give him as many as he wanted...
