Reincarnated With the Book of Knowledge - Chapter 52

In a calm sea, a giant marines warship was slowly sailing.

On the deck of the warship, there was the neo marines group. The average strength of this group of people is much higher than that of Gion’s subordinates.

This is the Neo Marines Pirates led by the former admiral of the marines, Black Arm Zephyr, who specializes in hunting pirates.

On the upper deck.

A tall and burly man who had a robotic arm was standing upright, looking at the sea in the distance, with coldness.

It was Black Arm, Zephyr.

Zephyr initially joined the navy in order to become a hero.

At the age of 42, his family was killed by the pirates and everything since then changed. He wanted to resign but he was persuaded to become an instructor of the marines and later he was responsible for training Marine recruits. The current three Admirals and most of the marines commanders were all trained under him, and his teaching ability can be said to be top-notch.

It was only later that he was attacked by Whitebeard. He lost his arm during that battle and all the students on his ship except Ain and Binz. Since then, he changed greatly. And last year, he formed the Neo Marines to kill pirates everywhere.

Behind him stood a woman with long pretty blue hair, she had very long legs, delicate facial features, and big, bright eyes. She was the one with the Return ability, Ain.

“Teacher, I heard that Vice Captain Gion is a great swordsman?”

“Um.”

Zephyr nodded slightly, showing a slight smile: “When she comes, you can ask her for advice.”

“That’s great.”

Ain looked happy.

As a swordsman, being able to get the guidance of a great swordsman is really a dream.

“Oh, by the way, Gion has an apprentice. I heard that he is only seventeen years old. He will also be there. I accept you will take part too.” Zephyr said.

“Yes!”

Ain nodded and said a little curiously: “The students of Vice Captain Gion should be very talented swordsmen. If there is a chance, I would love it if we have a spare.”

“It’s fine to learn from each other, but he’s only seventeen years old. No matter how talented he is in swordsmanship, his strength will not be too strong. Be careful, don’t hurt her student.”

Zephyr said, “Gion’s temper is not very good.”

“Well, I’ll pay attention.” Ain nodded quickly.

Time gradually passed.

Soon, Gion’s warship appeared in their field of vision, and the two warships quickly rendezvoused and sailed side by side.

In terms of position, Gion is higher than Zephyr, but as her junior, Gion still brought Rhodes and others to the Zephyr warship to greet him.

After getting on the ship, Gion wanted to catch up with Zephyr and discuss a specific battle plan, so Rhodes was left on the deck.

“Tsk, there are more familiar faces all of a sudden.”

Rhodes glanced around.

The beautiful swordsman Ain, the martial artist master Shuzo, and the Grow-Grow devil fruit user, Binz…

These three are extremely strong, at least comparable to that of a vice admiral in the headquarters of the marine.

Especially Ain’s ability, the return-return fruit is extremely strange. Once she uses it on anything, its age will be reduced by twelve years. If it’s used multiple times, it will even be wiped out.

“The Busoshoku Haki should have the effect of blocking it, otherwise this ability will be a cheat.”

As Rhodes was thinking, the Ain and the other two walked towards him, introducing themselves, while looking at him curiously.

“Looks a little thin, not strong at all.”

The tough guy Shuzo thought so, and then stepped forward proudly, patted Rhodes on the shoulder, and said, “Young man, keep close to me on the island so I can ensure your safety.”

“…”

Rhodes was speechless, is he comparing sizes?!

What a pain in the neck…

Ain looked at the handsome young man in front of her curiously.

He seemed to have left a touch of goodwill in her heart. Compared with Binz, who looked similar to a middle-aged man, Rhodes’ image was obviously more pleasing to the eye.

She looked at Rhodes’ sword with big, bright eyes, hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t help but say, “Do you want to have a spare?”

The apprentice of a great swordsman should have many merits.

She thought so.

“Um?”

Rhodes was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a while, but decided to tell the truth: “You are not my opponent.”

If Ain could have fought Rhodes three months ago, he might have lost.

But now……

He wasn’t bragging he didn’t think that any of these three can defeat him.

Ain’s expression froze when she heard these words; she never expected to get this answer!

This is too crazy!

Shuzo was stunned.

The three of them were all former Marine soldiers, and their strength is at its peak. They are proficient in Haki, the Rokushoki… And they can be regarded as the core of the Neo Marines Group!

Ain was obviously not convinced.

She narrowed her eyes, took out two short swords that were not much longer than a dagger, and said a little angrily, “Then please give me some pointers.”

A seventeen-year-old brat dares to speak out!

Ain felt that Rhodes should be taught a lesson and let him know what it means to be humble!

This kind of arrogance may be fine sometimes, but against the cruel pirates, it can lead to death!

Silence controlled the scene for a while.

Binz wanted to dance to cheer up the atmosphere, but seeing Ain’s icy pretty face, he couldn’t help but shrink back.

In the Neo Pirates, Zephyr is the core, followed by Ain. Whether it’s strength or ability, Ain is outstanding.

“Why do none of them accept the truth?”

Rhodes sighed in his heart, so he could only wave at Ain, signaling her to attack.

With his current skills in swordsmanship, sparring with Ain is just bullying her!

“This guy… do you really think that Ain wants his advice?” Shuzo was speechless.

This spare attracted the attention of many people. The members of the Neo marines and Gion’s guards were watching curiously not far away.

The guards were curious about Rhodes’ ability that helped him defeat Eleanor, while most of the members of the Neo Marines members were a bit excited.

They thought it would be a battle between dragons and tigers, they didn’t expect that it would end very quickly.

It was only two moves.

Rhodes brutally swung away Ain’s double daggers, dashed in, and held Ain’s delicate neck with his empty left hand. At that moment, if he exerted a little force, this beautiful swordsman would have perished.

The silence controlled the place.

Everyone stared at this scene in astonishment.

Feeling the heat coming from her neck, Ain’s somewhat annoying mood instantly turned into disbelief!

“How can… the gap is so big!”

She couldn’t even react to Rhodes’ attack!

Accurate swordsmanship, terrifying speed…

“I said, you are not my opponent.”

Rhodes shook his head, let go of his hand, took a step back, and sheathed his sword.

Ain squatted on the ground, gasping for breath. Her face flushed, looking at Rhodes inexplicably.

Ain’s overall strength is very good, and her ability is terrifying, but when it comes to swordsmanship, it’s a bit lacking.

In front of Rhodes, she couldn’t even make a move.

If Shuzo, who specializes in body-changing techniques, was the opponent, he might have been able to do a few more tricks.
