In the back mountain, Kazan pulled out two knives from his waist. One was black and shiny, and the other was red.
"Go with all your strength, Kazan-kun."
Shigetsuki Koushiro's eyes were fixed on the demon sword held by Kazan's ghost hand - Fuwu. He was a simple swordsman. He was not proficient in the forging technology and was not interested in it. He was only interested in it because of Shimotsuki Kozaburo.
Or he learned a little bit, and just barely reached the level of being able to forge ordinary swords.
Shigetsuki Koushiro is interested in quick swords. Rather, anyone who is a swordsman or blacksmith will be interested in quick swords.
He actually had the idea of taking a closer look at Kazan's black sword - Dark Moon, but when the 'Another Dream Blade of Wano' that had been in his ears since he was a child really appeared in front of him
By that time, the temptation of the black knife to him was no longer so great.
"good."
Kazan was not worried at all whether Koshiro Shigetsuki would be injured in the next battle. From the previous discussion, he had already judged that his swordsmanship level was higher than his own, so Kazan had no worries.
Blood rage.
Rampage.
Bloodthirsty.
Armed and domineering.
Strengthen-Kazan of Blade Soul.
There is also a Iron Transformation that is in a 'ready to activate' state at any time, ready to be activated at any time during the battle. As for the timing, it is completely left to Kazan's own combat intuition and domineering judgment.
When Kazan instantly turned into a bloody man who was almost integrated into the blood, Shigetsuki Koushiro's eyes opened under his glasses, they really opened!
You can see the dark eyes.
"This is what it looks like..."
Shigetsuki Koushiro's eyes opened for a brief moment and then closed again. He squinted and looked at the blood-colored armored fish heads that loomed above the two people's heads.
Bang.
Kazan stepped hard with his right foot, and with the three-stage slash, he came directly in front of Shigetsuki Koushiro. He raised his two swords high while letting his body enter a state of steel. He used a move with Kazan's weight to hit the mountain with great force.
Shirozuki Koushiro pressed down hard.
Kazan did not choose to use Earthshaft and Wave Slash this time. Having had many battles with Shanks and Mihawk, he had long understood that this move was not suitable when facing enemies that were stronger than him.
Even if the hand is made, it is used to test the strength of the opponent.
However, Kazan and Shigetsuki Koushiro already had a good understanding of each other's swordsmanship level when they just started sparring, so there was no need to waste time on unnecessary tests.
Shigetsuki Koushiro raised his head slightly, and with a slight movement, he teleported directly to five meters away.
Kazan's move, Mountain Collapsing, missed and hit the ground, causing the earth to crack open. The cracks continued to spread outward for a distance of exactly five meters, and finally stopped at Shigetsuki Koushiro's feet.
Kazan was a little surprised that Koushiro Shigetsuki didn't take his blow... In his heart, he had developed into a powerful swordsman and had his own pride.
Because both Shanks and Mihawk never dodge Kazan's mountain collapse attack, but choose to resist with their swords.
Now Kazan realizes that he has misunderstood. The real great swordsman does have his own pride, but it will not be reflected in this place.
Shigetsuki Koushiro's unconventional play stunned Kazan for a moment. By the time Kazan came to his senses, Kazan had already slashed his neck with Doichimonji.
Yes, it was indeed chopped off, but not even a single hair on Kazan's body was chopped off.
Got killed instantly.
Of course, Kazan would not think that the reason why Shigetsuki Koushiro is too weak is such a stupid reason... It is simply that Shigetsuki Koushiro's swordsmanship level is too high.
"Kazan-kun, even during a sparring session, you must not be distracted."
"I understand, Mr. Koushiro."
Kazan was convinced that he was defeated, Shigetsuki Koushiro was stronger than him, more than a little bit stronger, so strong that he could not be seen at all, and he was even stronger than the current Shanks and Mihawk.
At least high-end.
In less than two seconds, Houshan, who was filled with blood energy, returned to his previous appearance, and Kazan also retreated from the state of his double swords.
As for Kuina and Zoro, who were watching from the side, they just stared at them dumbfounded.
At first, Kazan's Mountain Collapse attack frightened them so much that they hid behind a large rock nearby, but such a powerful Kazan was defeated by Koushiro Shigetsuki in an instant.
If Kazan hadn't used Mountain Collapsing Strike before, they might not be able to see anything, but with comparison, they can see the difference. Now in their hearts, Shigetsuki Koushiro is different from before.
"Kazan-kun... Just now when you entered a state similar to madness, there was a moment of struggle in both your eyes and hands."
"This kind of struggle is the least likely to happen to swordsmen and gunners. Your problem...is not a small one."
"Also, when you drew the sword just now, your power was like an unfettered beast. Logically speaking, it should be extremely crazy."
"But... when you actually cut me down, you gave me an extremely rational feeling."
"This is too contradictory. Your power is like a foreign object. You are forcibly controlling it, or you are simply rejecting your power."
Shigezuki Koushiro came to Kazan's side, his squinting eyes reflected the twisting blood vessels in Kazan's ghost hand, and then he bent down and gently stroked the demon sword - the useless blade. The blood on it looked like the knife was on it.
Like bleeding: "Even...you suppressed the nature of the knife."
Kazan swallowed and stood there in a daze, suddenly realizing how stupid he had done.
Am I using the mentality of Sword Soul... to use the power of mad battle?
There is only one truth, and now.
Found it.

Ps: emmm... Considering that some readers who don't know much about it or haven't seen the Wano chapter may think that I describe Shigetsuki Koushiro's strength too high, I will give a simple explanation here.
I don’t know how many people still remember that Shigetsuki Koushiro once showed his hand in Zoro’s childhood memories. He slashed at a piece of paper with all his strength with a real sword.
It looked like a joke.
However, according to Hyougoro, the flower of Wano, the highest state of swordsmanship is: if you don't want to cut, you can't even cut through paper.
Therefore, Koushiro Shigetsuki's swordsmanship level must be extremely high, and may even be comparable to that of Hawkeye in the future, but I can't say to what extent it has reached, because he has never made a move.
I can't directly tell his level here, so I'll use "at least advanced" to describe his swordsmanship level.
