Reincarnated With the Book of Knowledge - Chapter 43

“Lightning?”

“He is a devil fruit user??”

Gion narrowed her eyes slightly and said to Koala with some displeasure.

Most pure swordsmen, or those who pursue the peak of swordsmanship, don’t like Devil Fruits.

“He’s not.”

Koala hurriedly shook her head and said quickly, “Rhod is not a devil fruit user, I know this best.”

“This is Lightning Sword Intent!”

Having said that, Koala also looked at Gion with a little doubt. As a great swordsman, how couldn’t you even recognize the sword’s intent?

Gion’s expression froze when she heard the words, and there was a hint of astonishment on her calm face.

Lightning Sword Intent? What kind of Lightning Sword Intent can achieve this level?!!

Gion stared at Koala and said suspiciously, “Are you sure?”

“Of course!” Koala nodded without hesitation.

Gion frowned, she could see that Koala wasn’t lying to her, but she couldn’t believe it.

As a great swordsman who has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, Gion’s understanding of sword intent is not completely clear, but it is also very profound.

This sword intent of Rhodes is too exaggerated, so exaggerated that people may even think it is a Logia Lightning type devil fruit!

The three big bosses and Stussy on the high platform were also startled.

“It’s not an ordinary power of lightning, even Leonard couldn’t bear it, this power should not be underestimated.”

Bell felt a little terrified. With his strength, facing the power of lightning, he could only temporarily avoid the edge.

“Interesting kid, I’m afraid this guy didn’t come for the Devil Fruit.” Buckley smiled, while his eyes flashed fiercely.

In addition to being surprised, Stussy couldn’t help but speculate in her heart. Could it be that this young man is Gion’s apprentice? Or her nephew or something?

With such potential, if there is a chance, it is necessary to contact him as well.

Thinking about it, Stussy couldn’t help but lick her lips and look at the proud sword-wielding figure on the stage with fiery eyes.

And at this time on the field.

Looking at Leonard in the distance, Rhodes said lightly, “What about now?”

Leonard’s face blushed when he heard this, but luckily he was imbued with Busoshoku Haki at the time, and no one could see it.

“Don’t get too arrogant!”

He roared angrily, stepped on the ground, and rushed towards Rhodes.

Scoff!

Before he got too close, he slashed using his sword, and the green sword energy was shot out, heading toward Rhodes.

“Too slow.”

While he was in Thunder mode, Rhodes’ body speed and nerve reaction speed were enhanced, already surpassing Leonard’s, and coupled with his stronger sense of Kenbunshoku Haki, Leonard couldn’t win at all!

However, with the support of his anger, Leonard’s extreme explosive power was barely able to compete with Rhodes.

The blades collided, their silhouettes staggered, and the dazzling thunder light covered everything. People could only see two looming lights and shadows colliding in the field. Only a few strong people could see through the fog and observe the situation.

Gradually, as the power of lightning that enveloped the field was completely transformed from light blue to dark blue, a black figure was suddenly blasted out.

He was tainted black, but not because of the Busoshoku Haki.

Leonard fell to the ground in the distance; his body was covered with sword marks, his clothes were tattered, and he had burn marks everywhere around his body.

He reluctantly raised his head and looked at Rhodes who didn’t chase him down, it seems that only his clothes were a little messy. Leonard couldn’t help but sigh lightly, but because of this tiny movement, the wound was affected, and he hissed in pain.

As long as you’re not a fool, you can see that Leonard is completely powerless to fight back!

After that, Rhodes stood in the field, then with an extremely calm expression, he said lightly: “Who else wants to fight with me?”

The whole place was dead silent.

Everyone stared at Leonard, who was lying on the ground, dumbfounded.

Initially, everyone felt that the moment silver sword Leonard decided to attack using his sword, it meant that the game was over.

Unexpectedly, an unknown young swordsman who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, controlled the power of lightning to slash Leonard outright.

All the people present were wide-eyed, whether they were rich or powerful everyone knew what this level of potential meant.

Stussy swallowed her saliva secretly, thinking in her heart how to cooperate with Gion’s actions if a conflict broke out.

But after thinking about it, with Gion’s strength, I’m afraid that no one can do anything to this little boy.

Bell didn’t think about anything. Compared with the strong pirates present, he was more like a businessman, running a small island under the banner of the Beasts Pirates.

Buckley’s expression became much more solemn.

“If we can’t recruit him…”

“He must be killed in advance!”

“This kind of potential, once he grows up, he will inevitably become an enemy!”

A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and just when Buckley was about to make a move, a series of roaring explosions suddenly came from Bell’s base camp in the distance, and the terrifying vibration even spread to the arena.

The whole scene became a mess in an instant, and everyone hurriedly fled out for fear of being affected.

“What happened?”

Bell suddenly stood up and rushed to the base camp immediately.

Seeing this, Buckley frowned slightly, gave an order to his subordinates, and followed.

Bell’s safety was still very important, and he can leave the rest to his subordinates.

“With the brothers here, the little guy shouldn’t be able to get away.”

Thinking in his heart, he accelerated, caught up with Bell, and left the scene.

Seeing that there would be no major conflict, Stussy naturally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly disappeared on the high platform.

But she was looking for a chance to get to know Rhodes, a potential seed. If possible, Stussy wouldn’t mind what happens next with her and this handsome young man.

As the Queen of the Pleasure District, she has absolute confidence in her extraordinary skills to conquer a young, immature seedling.

There was chaos on the field, but Rhodes made a gesture to Gion in the VIP seat and left along the flow of people.

This was obviously a movement from Sabo.

The three of them had already made an appointment to meet, but this time the two probably won’t return to the headquarters with Sabo.

Seeing Rhodes leaving, although Koala was still complaining about Sabo’s chaos in her heart, she didn’t show it on her face and said respectfully to Gion: “Please follow me. We will meet up outside.”

“Um.”

Gion stood up gracefully, her tall and graceful figure made Koala feel a little inferior because she was much shorter than Gion…

Of course, the most important thing is that this female great swordsman’s aura left Koala subconsciously in awe.
