Chapter 178 The undefeated swordsman!
"One hundred consecutive wins!"
"A thousand consecutive wins!!"
"Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine consecutive wins!!"
"Today, in the bullfighting arena, the legendary [Invincible Swordsman] is about to usher in his 3,000th duel!"
The streets in the town are full of bustling people, the sounds of vendors are constantly heard, and the aroma of all kinds of food is fragrant.
Today is indeed an important day in Dressrosa.
But it wasn't the anniversary of the king's coronation or some other important holiday as Adrian imagined.
The reason why this hot and passionate island is plunged into a carnival atmosphere is because of the legendary invincible swordsman.
"Cyrus?"
At this time, Adrian was holding a piece of "jamon" in his hand. This is a delicacy that is very particular in the selection of ingredients. It is made from black pigs that are raised in the mountains and only fed acorns. It is made with a secret recipe. Seasoning, air-drying and marinating at high temperature, and then finely sliced into thin slices of meat, it is one of the most classic delicacies of Dressrosa.
Randomly picking up a piece of Jamon and putting it into his mouth, relevant information about Cyrus slowly emerged in Adrian's mind.
There is not much information and it is not difficult to say.
The only thing worth mentioning is that his daughter is great.
Well, it’s the clothes that bother me.
"By the way, Cyrus shouldn't be married yet, right?"
"Although Rebecca is very [adult-like] in terms of physical development and clothing style, she has not actually reached the age standard for entering the sea in the pirate world, right?"
"Tsk!"
Adrian made a sound of unknown meaning, whether it was regret or something else.
He quickly got rid of Jamon in his hand and decided to go to the bullfighting arena to observe the strength of Cyrus in his youth up close.
A sword fighter with 3,000 consecutive victories is considered an extremely good fighter even in the world, let alone in the new world where fighting is more cruel.
Cyrus left an impression on Adrian, except that his daughter was indeed wonderful.
He chopped off Brother Ming's head with one knife, which was also a very impressive performance.
Although I later found out that it was Doflamingo’s Shadow Rider clone...
But the strength that Cyrus unleashed after accumulating anger for more than ten years should not be underestimated.
A burst of colorful fireworks bloomed and fell in the sky, like the twinkling brilliance of meteors, leaving streaks of hot smoke beside the people on the street, making the atmosphere on the island even more lively.
In this carnival atmosphere, Adrian came to a huge oval-shaped arena. The building was entirely made of marble, and its appearance was vaguely like the Roman Colosseum in his previous life.
At this time, the bullfighting arena was already filled with people, and the crowds of spectators scattered in the stands were screaming and shouting, and many gentle-looking ladies were also shouting excitedly.
Four huge bonfires were burning in the corners around the stone platform in the center of the arena, allowing the audience no matter where they were, to clearly see everything happening on the stage.
When Adrian arrived, the last duel ended.
“Next, let’s invite our most anticipated player today, the legendary undefeated swordsman Cyrus! Will he break the [three thousand consecutive wins] record in the bullfighting arena today that has not been seen in thousands of years? ”
On the commentary stage, a greasy-faced host was facing the microphone, shouting loudly in an exaggerated tone, constantly mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene.
At this time, a roar like a mountain roaring and a tsunami suddenly erupted from the field.
Adrian narrowed his eyes, and a man with dark skin and muscular muscles stepped onto the ring. He was wearing a green tight-fitting vest and a men's battle skirt of the same color. He had a scarlet cape on his back and carried a weapon almost as tall as the man on his shoulders. two handed sword.
"Cyrus! Cyrus!"
The audience roared almost wildly.
The host on the commentary desk changed his voice and began to introduce the next opponent who was about to take the stage.
"Who will be Cyrus's opponent in the 3000 duel? Let's invite--the sword fighter Ricky!"
There were boos in the audience.
A similarly tall man stepped onto the ring. He was only wearing a dark brown cowhide battle skirt, a dark blue cape on his back, and steel shoulder armor on his shoulders.
Strangely, the sword fighter Ricky also wears a closed steel helmet that completely covers his head and face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
The signal for the duel to begin was given.
Cyrus then slightly bent his legs, burst out with strength, and pounced on the opposite sword fighter Ricky like a cheetah. At the same time, the two-handed giant sword was raised high and struck at the opponent's head.
The sword fighter Ricky did not dodge, and raised his hands, holding the sword in his hand on the edge of the giant sword in both hands. At the same time, he moved the sword to the side and slashed towards Cyrus' arm holding the sword.
Cyrus made a prompt decision, released the hilt of the sword, pointed the toes of his right foot on the ground, and turned his body sideways.
The sword fighter Ricky's sword moves changed, and the downward stroke instantly turned into a horizontal slash. Just when he thought the attack was successful, a sword edge flashed before his eyes.
when?
Sword fighter Ricky had to give up the attack and leaned his upper body back. He managed to avoid the throat-cutting blow, but the helmet on his face was slashed with a huge sword and left a deep mark.
"This guy named Ricky is a bit of a jerk..."
Adrian shook his head slightly.
Cyrus just let go of the hilt of the sword, and while avoiding it sideways, he stretched out his hand to catch the falling giant sword steadily. With the help of the sword fighter Ricky, blinded by the desire for victory, slashed down again, rushing towards the enemy's head. Cut down.
"The opponent in the 3000th battle didn't even master the Haki of seeing and hearing? Did I overestimate Cyrus's level?"
Due to the opponent's inaccurate level, this battle was not worth mentioning in the eyes of some discerning onlookers.
However, such a close-range, cold-weapon fighting style still aroused exclamations from many female spectators in the audience, and even heated up the atmosphere of the duel.
The two of them played ping-ping-pong-pong for a while.
In the center of the high platform, sword fighter Ricky's movements have begun to become a little sluggish, and his fighting strength is not as strong as before.
Although Cyrus was a little confused as to why the arena would match him with a player of this level at such an important moment, he was not prepared to show mercy.
Cyrus took a deep breath, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and flew towards the enemy at the same time, about to give the opponent a powerful slash by swinging the sword up and down!
"Thunder's Sword of Destruction!"
Sword fighter Ricky was unable to dodge and was directly hit by this powerful slash. His forehead protector flew out immediately, and his whole body was directly knocked to the ground. It hit the duel platform ten meters away.
Just when all the spectators in the arena thought that the battle was over, sword fighter Ricky stood up unsteadily, revealing his true face under the mask.
For a while, exclamations kept coming from the field.
"King Riku?!"
Thanks to "Killing Walker" for the 200 starting coin reward.
Thanks to "Bai Xiaosheng 147" and "jfvd" for the 100 starting coin reward.
Adrian's character picture has been replaced by a sand sculpture. Is there any kind person who can upload a better character picture? The ball is gone.
