"Sichuan-Tibet?"
Kuro raised an eyebrow. "Your last name is Joseph?"
"There is no such surname."
Kawatsuki drew a wakizashi from his waist and pointed it at Kuro. "I want the sword, and I want your life. Slaying swordsmen and taking their swords is my favorite thing."
"This aura..."
Kuro glanced at the wakizashi in his hand and frowned, "A famous sword?"
The wakizashi has a short blade, but not as short as a dagger. It has a groove on the back of the blade, and the blade is covered with tiny, snowflake-like dots.
The aura emanating from it was that of a famous sword.
"A swordsman is a swordsman; he can sense the aura of the blade."
Chuanzang gripped the hilt of the sword and praised, "This sword is one of the fifty finest swords, the famous 'Kotetsu.' Can you sense it? It exudes a fighting spirit."
Kuro sized up Chuanzang. This man's bounty was a whopping 830 million, which should have been quite substantial, but looking at him now...
"You can't use a knife, can you? Your physique and build don't seem like those of a skilled knife user. Why do you carry so many knives?"
Apart from that one, many of the knives he carried in Sichuan and Tibet all exuded the aura of famous knives.
This man carried many famous swords.
"I don't know how to use a knife, but..."
Chuanzang's words carried a hint of smugness and ferocity.
"The owner of the knife knows how to use it!"
Whoosh!
No sooner had he finished speaking than Chuanzang swooped down at high speed, arrived in front of Kuro, grabbed the wakizashi with one hand, and thrust it straight at Kuro's abdomen.
This move was swift and decisive, carrying an indomitable spirit that caused Kuro's eyes to widen slightly.
The blade pierced through Kuro's abdomen, and before Chuanzang could even show his triumph, Kuro's body rippled like water and vanished into nothingness.
"The atmosphere has changed."
Kuro appeared on the other side and exclaimed in surprise, "This does seem like a master swordsman."
In that instant, this guy's aura transformed from a hunched and indifferent one into a ferocious one, like a tiger. He went from someone who clearly didn't know how to use a knife to a highly experienced individual.
brush!
As soon as Kuro appeared, Kawazō turned around, grabbed the wakizashi upside down, and swung it forward. A slash flew wildly towards Kuro as the wakizashi was swung.
"Even slashing techniques are possible?"
Kuro drew his Shusui sword and slashed down, shattering the attack. He exclaimed in astonishment, "That's a bit scary."
Now he exudes the aura of a swordsman.
Chuanzang laughed: "I am a 'memory person' who ate the 'memory fruit'. When I touch inanimate objects, I can recall everything that inanimate objects have experienced, and a knife is the best medium."
He raised the wakizashi, assuming a fighting stance, and said, "The strongest of all the masters of the famous sword 'Kotetsu' was the swordsman 'Kotetsurou' from the 'Land of Iron' in the New World. By recalling the sword's memories, I am also recalling the memories of this swordsman. I will possess all of this master's battle memories, as well as his moves and his techniques..."
"Tiger Iron Man?!"
A nearby navy officer exclaimed in surprise, "'Tiger Sword' Toratsuro?!"
"You know him?" Kuro asked.
“Yes, Vice Admiral, I am from the Land of Iron, that’s our country’s legend. A hundred years ago, the Land of Iron was ravaged by a ferocious tiger, and the one who killed it was Tiger Iron Man!” the navy officer said.
This is the navy at G-3 base, originating from the New World.
Upon hearing this, Kuro raised an eyebrow: "A master of simulation?"
That's quite an ability.
If one could recall the life story of an object, most people would become historians, but if developed properly, it could also be used in places like Sichuan and Tibet.
Recalling the life of the knife, mimicking the methods of its master.
"Let me show you the killing move of a swordsman from a hundred years ago!"
Kawazang's body slashed downwards, skimming the ground and transforming into a blur as he hurtled towards Kuro at incredible speed. He appeared directly beneath Kuro, his wakizashi radiating an aura of dominance that transformed into black light from below, slashing upwards like a thunderbolt.
Don't try to hide up there!
This move made Kuro's pupils shrink, and his movement to fly into the sky immediately changed, as he rapidly pressed down on Shusui in his hand.
when! !
The black blade blocked the thunderous strike, gripping the blade tightly.
Kuro clenched his other hand, causing a commotion around him. At that moment, Chuanzang seemed to sense something, pushed off the ground with both feet, and his body, which was close to the ground, shot backward, flipped in the air, and landed steadily on the ground.
"Did you notice? My Tiger Sword." Kawazō squinted at Kuro. "If you try to dodge upwards, you'll definitely get hit."
Indeed, that strike had a bit of Kuro's "Swallow Return" feel to it, but instead of locking onto the entire body's evasive position, it was limited to the upper part of the body. If Kuro jumped or flew upwards, he would be hit.
It's a bit...
"Slide tackle?" Kuro stroked his chin, somewhat taken aback.
This move is like a sliding tackle, like sliding towards a tiger and then slicing it open.
But if a swordsman uses it, then it's a real 'slide tackle'.
This sword can truly slay a tiger.
Chuanzang laughed and said, "Did you see the essence? That's right. Back then, Hu Tielang used this technique to slide and disembowel a ferocious tiger when it pounced, hence the name 'Tiger Sword'."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, the Marine from the Land of Iron widened his eyes: "Isn't it supposed to be cool to kill a ferocious tiger? Like Mr. Clow, slashing it with one stroke, and then the tiger only dies when you sheathe your sword? That's what the legend says."
“I have the memory, and that’s the truth,” Chuanzang said.
His ability is to recall everything that happened back then; that's how the legendary swordsman 'Tora Tetsuro' dealt with that ferocious tiger.
Furthermore, this move later became Toretsurou's signature move, and with it, he killed many renowned swordsmen of the time.
"I dodged the Tiger Sword, so let's try this one."
Kawazang sheathed the wakizashi and drew out a katana with a very high arc.
This knife has no tsuba (guard) or groove; the blade is very smooth, almost the same width as the back of the blade, with only the edge gleaming faintly.
"The famous sword 'Munechika' is not among the good, great, or supreme great swords, but it is no less than them."
Chuanzang said, "Among the successive masters, one was 'King of Swordsmen' Phil. Please enlighten me!"
The aura of the famous sword grew stronger as he drew it.
If Kuro wasn't quite sure before, he is now.
This guy is covered in damn famous swords.
In terms of quantity, it doesn't have as many as Kuro's Heavenly Treasury.
But in terms of quality...
Kuro was somewhat envious.
This thing is a god of swords.
That does live up to its name.
If you obtain a weapon, you can simulate the skills of its previous owners.
However, a swordsman cannot become a swordsman through ability alone.
Aside from domineering presence, those who wield a knife only hone their skills.
