I really don't want to be the pirate king

The two swords that were pushed up showed the difference in strength between the two. Even if Bowness transformed into an orangutan, he could not compare with Ingram in terms of strength.

But the next moment, the piercing chirping of birds sounded. Ingram instantly retracted his arm and jumped back. A bloody hole appeared on his left arm, and blood gurgled out.

"Why was he suddenly injured?" Leon said in confusion.

"I also heard a chirping of birds."

Lafitte said softly: "It seems to have come from the blade in his hand."

"Raikiri, one of the 21 great swordsmen."

Gion said softly: "It was originally called Chidori, because when it was used, it seemed like a thousand birds were chirping. Then a swordsman used it to cut off the thunder, so it was renamed Raikiri."

"Why do birds chirp?" Catalina looked puzzled.

"I do not know either."

Gion stared into the distance, "And the distance is too far, I can't see the changes of the blade clearly."

"Your knife is vibrating."

Ingram pulled away and looked at Bowness with a surprised expression, "The knife in his right hand vibrated at a very high frequency and cut my skin."

He is good at hardening his weapons. Just now he used his hardened arm to resist the attack, but his arm was still cut off by the opponent.

"Yes."

Bonis said with a smile: "This Raikiri is known for its sharpness, but I always thought it was not that sharp, just about the same as a good sword. It wasn't until I mastered Armament Haki that I discovered something."

"If the armed color is wrapped around the blade, the knife will vibrate at high speed, and combined with the domineering force of the armed color, it will produce a strong cutting effect."

After the words fell, Bowness jumped towards Ingram, and Reiki slashed out at high speed, "Split Slash!"

"It was so"

Ingram nodded, stepped on the ground with both feet, and disappeared instantly, dodging the blow.

"Then it seems I can't be touched by you."

Ingram appeared in the distance, then stepped on the ground again, shooting towards Bowness.

"it's here!"

Bowness locked onto Ingram's figure, took a step forward, and slashed down with a thunder cut with his right hand. The sound of birds chirping sounded as he slashed straight towards the opponent's body.

Tread.

Ingram suddenly moved sideways, dodged the blow, stepped on the ground, and pounced behind Bowness.

Bonis immediately turned around, and Cong Yu slashed out with his long sword, but the opponent jumped up and appeared above Bonis' head.

Bowness reacted quickly and slashed upward again with his right hand, but Ingram stepped in the air, took a diagonal step, dodged the knife, and then punched him in the head.

Bowness's left knife was stretched in front of him and collided with his fist. A huge force came from him, causing his blade to retreat slightly.

But then, he took hold of Raikiri and slashed out again. Birdsong sounded and he reached Ingram in an instant.

month step.

Ingram had jumped backwards, and after landing, disappeared again, dodging Bowness's slashing attack that followed closely behind.

Tread, step, step.

Ingram stepped on the ground with both feet and used his razor to move around Bowness. After grabbing a position, he pounced.

Bonis reacted immediately, turned around and followed up, slashing out with Cong Yu from his left hand, but the opponent had already jumped out again, appeared on his left side, and punched him in the ribs.

He just waved his left arm diagonally forward and had no time to block. Just as he was about to be hit in the body, Bowness also disappeared.

Whoosh.

Bowness appeared in the distance, and the moment his feet landed on the ground, he slashed out with his two swords, shooting two huge chops.

"He can shave too?"

Ingram was a little surprised. What Bonis used just now was indeed a shave.

He raised his fist and struck the chopping wave, shattering the chopping wave and turning it into air currents that filled the sky.

The next moment, Bowness had appeared in front of him, and Cong Yu, one of the sharp knives, slashed down.

Ingram raised his arm to block the blow, but immediately after, Bowness's thunder cut down, making a piercing sound of birdsong, and slashed towards his waist and abdomen.

Whoosh.

Ingram didn't dare to resist and immediately jumped out, but Bonis was already behind him and attacked again.

Because of the sharp nature of Raikiri, Ingram didn't dare to make contact, so he could only dodge. But the opponent also mastered the razor, and couldn't close the distance, so he could only be beaten passively.

He could still dodge at first, but as time passed, his dodge space became smaller and smaller.

puff.

Reiki cut across the opponent's hardened body, leaving a trail of blood. He immediately moved away from Bowness, but was injured again.

"The victory has been decided."

In the box, Aaron took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "It seems that I have decided on your [-] million beli."

"It's not fair."

Gion said dissatisfiedly: "The knife you have is too advantageous, and you also ate a devil fruit. If you don't transform if you can, just use another knife to fight."

"Weapons and devil fruits themselves are part of the strength."

Aaron smiled and said: "Don't forget, Ingram is 30 years older than Bowness. Why not let the 20-year-old him play against Bowness?"

Hearing this, Gion's expression froze, and then said: "Ingram works very hard, but his talent is indeed a bit lacking, otherwise he would have achieved..."

He has mediocre qualifications and is able to become a lieutenant general. He has been practicing hard for decades, exercising his body every day, and also learned the six styles and armed color Haki, and each of these requires several years of hard work.

He never gave up. His hard training made his basic skills very solid. He had no shortcomings and his combat power was not weak.

But now, he is losing again, and he is also a member of the Conqueror Pirates.

Five years ago, he was defeated by Robin, and the opponent actually mastered Armament Haki during the battle, which made him feel the terrifying talent. But this year, he will be defeated by a 23-year-old young man again.

But this time, he came with a purpose.

Why do you come here to participate in the annual competition of the Xuanwu Arena? You are obviously retired, not interested in money, let alone fame and fortune.

There is only one reason, and that is to make a breakthrough.

puff.

Ingram's body was slashed again, and his body was dripping with blood, as if he had turned into a bloody man.

"He's such a tenacious guy, so let's be ruthless and knock him down."

Bowness lifted up Reiki and slashed towards Ingram, intending to knock him to the ground.

But the next moment, Ingram did not retreat but advanced. His left hand reached out and caught his wrist, and then held it with his backhand to prevent the knife from falling.

Ok?

Bowness looked surprised that the other party could actually grab his hand, and it was as accurate as if he had put it in himself.

So he slashed out with his left sword and struck the opponent's arm, trying to force the opponent to let go.

pat.

Ingram held his wrist with his right hand, pressed down the opponent's arms with both hands, raised his right foot and pulled it up.

boom.

The sole of his foot kicked Bonis' chin. The huge force kicked Bonis' head up, and his body flew out, hitting him far away. His back muscles suddenly bounced, and his body stood up and swayed. Shaking his head, it didn't seem to be anything serious.

Thanks to the strong resistance ability of the animal system, Bowness resisted the attack. Looking at Ingram who rushed up, he held Cong Yu and slashed out.

boom.

Ingram hit the blade with his fist in his right hand, and then took a step diagonally. Reicher brushed past his body and hit the air.

The next moment, he made a fist with his left hand and punched Bowness in the abdomen.

"Iron block."

Bowness had already pumped strength into his body, making it extremely hard.

boom.

Bowness was knocked out, his center of gravity dropped, and his abdomen hurt slightly, but he was not seriously injured.

At this time, Ingram has already rushed towards him again, attacking him. He can always attack or dodge in advance to suppress Bowness.

"Great, a chance to win."

Gion looked very happy when he saw Ingram pressing down on Bowness.

"Ingram always responds early."

Aaron frowned and said, "Could it be that he has mastered the domineering power of seeing and hearing, and can predict the opponent's next move?"

"Yes."

Gion said with a smile: "Ingram and I have known each other for a long time, so I chatted with him before the game and asked him, who has always been indifferent to fame and wealth, why he came here. He told me that it was for a breakthrough. He has been practicing the Haki of Knowledge and Color. , but did not master it until he retired and returned home, vaguely feeling the domineering power of knowledge, and in order to master it, he came here."

"Want to rely on the pressure of battle to break through?"

Aaron laughed when he saw this scene, "It actually succeeded, but it seems a little late."

boom.

Ingram punched Bowness again, sending him flying to the side. He rolled up and Bowness felt some pain in his ribs.

But Bowness did not give up, and instead pounced on Ingram and continued to attack him.

The animal type's resistance and physical strength are extremely good. Bowness took a lot of punches, and with the help of iron blocks, he didn't suffer much damage.

On the contrary, Ingram continued to bleed and became weaker and weaker due to his physical injuries.

Not only that, Bowness did not passively take the beating.

He stepped on the ground with both feet and used high speed to dodge Ingram's follow-up attack, but before he could stand still, Ingram had already arrived and punched him in the abdomen.

Bowness did not resist, but held the thunder cutter and chopped it down, intending to exchange the injury for injury.

With his own physical fitness, a punch would be nothing, but the other party didn't dare to be cut by him.

But the next moment, Ingram's fist suddenly opened and slapped him in the abdomen.

boom.

Bowness was pushed out and turned around to stand. Ingram had disappeared in front of him.

He appeared behind Bowness and punched him in the back.

iron block.

Bownis used an iron block to withstand the blow. The surging power came through, but he was unable to cause much damage.

Blocking the blow, Bonis held Raikiri and slashed backwards, only to find that he had disappeared.

Ingram was still behind him, but he appeared in the air behind him. His right arm passed around Bowness's neck, forming a V-shape and clasping his neck.

Then he pressed his left elbow on Bowness's left shoulder, but clasped the back of his head with his left hand, and clasped the joint of his left arm with his right hand.

The next moment, Ingram pressed forward with his left hand on the left side of the opponent's head, while his right arm continued to squeeze backward.

Huge restraint force came, and Ingram could crush a steel column alive.

But Bowness reacted quickly and released his orc form. His body quickly shrank, his neck became much narrower, and he gained a little space.

Then he held Raikiri and thrust it towards his right rib with his backhand.

As the body shrunk, Reacher stabbed Ingram's chest while grazing his ribs.

Seeing that he was about to be stabbed, Ingram raised his foot and stepped on Bowness' back before leaping back.

"Failed!" Gion waved his fist unwillingly.

Bowness, who avoided the naked choke, immediately turned around and pounced on Ingram. His body continued to expand, turning into an orc form, and he struck down with a knife.

Ingram quickly dodged, appeared in the distance, then turned to approach Bowness, but then turned again. After a few bounces, he appeared behind Bowness and punched forward.

Bowness suddenly jumped up, and the moment he dodged the fist, his body spun in the air and slashed towards Ingram's shoulder.

Ingram did not retreat but advanced, supporting the opponent's wrist with his left hand, and punched Bowness in the chest with his right hand.

boom.

Bowness was thrown out and hit the ground. He rolled up and was met by Ingram.

"It's not over."

Bowness held the Raikiri and slashed horizontally. Accompanied by the harsh sound of birdsong, the blade vibrated and slashed.

Ingram leaned down, and the blade scraped across his scalp. He drew out his kick and kicked the outer edge of Bowness's left calf. The huge force caused it to fly horizontally, parallel to the ground.

Then Ingram pressed his right hand to the ground, twisted his waist, kicked out with his left foot, and hit Bowness in the lower abdomen.

boom.

Bowness was sent flying sideways, and that direction was the edge of the ring.

Bowness spun around, lowering his center of gravity, but still flew out of the ring, fell downwards, and disappeared.

"Bonis fell off the ring."

The host's voice sounded, "Then according to the rules..."

"Won."

Gion looked excited and was about to say something when he saw Bowness jump up and return to the ring.

"He didn't fall, he caught the edge of the ring with his toes."

The host yelled, "Didn't touch the ground, so it's not out."

The orangutan's toes were very flexible, and Bowness directly grabbed the edge of the ring, then used his legs to fly back to the ring.

Before he could stand still, Ingram reached him and punched him again.

Bowness was on the edge of the ring, unable to retreat. Once he was hit and knocked away, he would not be able to come back, thus losing the match.

Bowness slashed out with his left knife and hit his fist, then raised his foot and stepped hard. The layers of the ring shattered and turned into stones, which fell with a thud.

Then he slashed out with his right knife and struck Ingram's body.

Ingram predicted his move, jumped up in advance, and dodged the blade, but Bonis had already hit him, "Ming Ape Impact!"

boom.

Huge force came, and Ingram seemed to have been hit by a battleship. He flew backwards and was caught up in the air by Bowness, who chopped him down with a knife.

Ingram anticipated the blow, rolled up in the air, and dodged Reiki, but looked aside.

Bowness swung his left knife horizontally and struck the wound on his left arm, sending him flying and making the wound on his arm even bigger.

"Although I don't know how to see and hear."

Bonis flicked the blade, "But I know you don't dare to touch Raikiri, so I use Raikiri's attack to force you to make changes and create opportunities for other attacks."

"You are very smart."

Ingram's left arm tendons were severed and he could no longer make a fist. He knew that the opponent had found a way to deal with him and was no match for him. But now that he had achieved his goal, then...

Ingram did not give up because the woman he had always had a crush on cheered him on before the game and told him to win.

So he rushed forward again, but could not change the result. After more than ten rounds, he was chopped to the ground.

"The winner of the first Xuanwu Arena Competition is..."

The host's voice sounded, "Dazzbonis of the Conqueror Pirates!"

Bowness raised his arms and accepted the cheers from the audience.

"I lost."

Gion stood up, walked outside, and said, "I will give you [-] million beli."

"I am waiting for you."

Aaron raised his glass and took a sip, looking at Bowness with satisfaction, he could now be on his own.
