Chapter 35: Stunned
---
After all, the Golden Lion pulled out two famous swords from his waist, Sakura Ten and Dead Wood!
It seems that these two should also belong to the category of twenty-one Great Grade Swords, not inferior to the supreme blades.
Of course, this is also Rono's guess. After all, the Golden Lion doesn't seem like someone who would use two supreme swords.
"Okay, Brother Rono, my move is called 'Lion's Slash,' and it's a move I've perfected after 10 years of practice!"
"Even if I show all the essentials, no matter how talented a person is, they won't be able to learn it in four or five years."
"This move can break the sea!"
A smile appeared on the corner of the Golden Lion's mouth.
He is a dual swordsman, while Rono is a single swordsman.
Using dual swords and a single sword may seem like just having one more sword, but in fact, the difficulty increases several times!
Even if Rono really has a talent as terrifying as rumored, it would take a lot of hard work to show dual swordsmanship with one sword!
Does he want to learn in six or seven years? Dream on!
After finishing speaking, the Golden Lion held two famous swords, Sakura Ten and Dead Wood, and swung forward with force.
*Swish, swish!*
Two sword energies rose from the ground and slashed directly along the ground!
"Lion's Slash!"
The next moment, the two sword energies directly split the ground into two deep cracks!
This was not over yet; the cracks continued to spread, directly beyond the island of Hachinosu!
*Whoosh!*
The sword energies did not dissipate and instantly split a sea area into two halves!
After a full half a minute, the sea area gathered again and merged into one.
There were also two deep cracks on the ground!
*Phew~!* Everyone present took a deep breath!
As expected of the captain of the Golden Lion, the sword energy wielded at random had such terrifying power!
In the Rocks Pirates, the Golden Lion is second only to Rocks himself and slightly inferior to Whitebeard, making him the third-in-command!
Moreover, the strength of the Golden Lion and Whitebeard is very close, almost equivalent to the gap between Aokiji and Akainu.
In a real fight, it would take ten days and ten nights to determine the winner.
"How about it, Rono, can you do this trick?"
The Golden Lion was also very satisfied with his display of this move. He was in very good condition today, and he couldn't always do it normally.
"Okay, let me try it out." Hearing this, Rono suddenly became excited.
In his mind just now, the system prompt appeared.
**[Ding~Congratulations to the host for picking up the Great Swordsman Sword Qi, the current swordsmanship level: Advanced; Progress: 69%!]**
**[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for successfully picking up Sword Art: Lion's Slash!]**
After successfully picking it up, a wave of skills and knowledge about swordsmanship flooded into Rono's mind.
Even the muscle memory was deeply etched into Rono's arm.
The moves of the pickup system are not classified into levels. The moves picked up are exactly the same as the original!
As for the power of the moves, it is related to Rono's own strength.
Then Rono took out Hu Che from his waist and held it in his hand.
Many pirates who used swords in the crowd immediately recognized that this was the famous sword of Twenty-One Great Grade Swords, Hu Che.
"Captain Shiki uses two swords; I use one sword. There may be some differences, please forgive me."
Soon Rono felt the muscle memory and waved Hu Che like the Golden Lion.
*Swish, swish!*
Rono swung his sword in an instant, followed by two sword energies rising from the ground!
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Just like the Golden Lion's 'Lion's Slash,' the two sword energies first left a crack on the ground, then left Hachinosu Island, and divided a sea area into two!
The only difference is that the power of Rono's sword energy is still much weaker than that of the Golden Lion.
Whether it is the crack on the ground or the spray separated by the sea, the scope is not as good!
But the moves are exactly the same, exactly the same!
"Captain Shiki, how is it? This move is still qualified, right?"
Rono looked at the "masterpiece" he left behind with a smile and said that his skills in sword energy still need to be strengthened.
And the gap between him and the Golden Lion is too big.
But it doesn't matter; on this ship full of monsters, Rono believes that he will improve very quickly!
"Captain Shiki?" Rono turned around when he found that no one responded to him.
It was only then that he discovered that the pirates present seemed to have been immobilized!
Everyone opened their mouths and widened their eyes, as if they had seen a ghost, and turned into statues!
"He really... really learned! My eyes are not wrong!"
"Shiki... Captain Shiki's unique skill, Lion's... Lion's Slash!"
"Although it is a single-sword style, it is exactly the same as Captain Shiki's dual-sword style!"
"Although the power is indeed a lot weaker, this is definitely the Lion's Slash! You can't go wrong!"
"My God, he really learned it!"
The pirates present covered their heads and immediately began to doubt their reality!
Rono, he really understood Captain Shiki's unique skills in a second!
What on earth did this guy eat to grow up? How can there be such a terrible talent!
"This... it's really, really the Lion's Slash!"
As the founder of the move, Shiki took a long time to come back to his senses!
Although the difference in power is not small, the way of swinging the blade and the sword energy are undoubtedly exactly the same as the Lion's Slash!
It's as if he himself had swung it out!
And Rono still used the single-sword style, which perfectly replicated his own dual-sword style move!
A single-sword style replicates a dual-sword style?
The Golden Lion doubts reality!
This is a swordsmanship created by himself after ten years of research!
It was learned by Rono at a glance!
Fear! Horrible!
This talent is rarely seen in decades!
No... such a genius probably won't come out for hundreds of years!
Not only the Golden Lion, but even Rocks' face was full of smiles.
Sure enough, he was right when he dispatched Whitebeard to recruit Rono.
A monster-like genius has joined the Rocks Pirates!
"How about it, Captain Golden Lion? Have I passed my assessment?"
Rono squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, looking at the skeptical look on the Golden Lion's face, it should be over.
"It's... well..."
The Golden Lion knew in his heart that it was not only a pass but an exact replica!
At the same time, the Golden Lion also re-evaluated Rono in his heart.
This guy's talent is too powerful; it's better not to offend such a person, but to win him over!
After all, the ambition of the Golden Lion is no smaller than that of Rocks. He has been waiting for the opportunity to create his own power.
Rono has now become a strong man worth winning over in the heart of the Golden Lion.
But before the Golden Lion could finish speaking, suddenly, someone stood out from the crowd.
