One Piece: I Can Simplify Skills

There were more than twenty armed baboons, especially the one with B-level strength, twice the size of the other adult baboons—likely the Baboon King. It even carried a blade similar to the black blade used by Hawkeye, Mihawk. Although it wasn’t an actual black blade, its quality was still of a high grade. It was unclear where it got its sword; perhaps Hawkeye had gifted it to the armed baboons?

“Today, I must get through!” Rokujins’s gaze sharpened, his mind made up, as he walked forward. “Woah woah!” Soon, the armed baboons spotted him, making strange noises and moving towards him.

“Roar!” The Baboon King roared. The other armed baboons all picked up their weapons and charged at Rokujins. “Seeking death!” Rokujins drew the two swords at his waist, the Lingfeng Generation II and the black blade. He wielded both swords!

“Armament Haki, hardening!” Black Armament Haki instantly covered his body, arms, and swords, temporarily turning them into black blades. A sword must be repeatedly imbued with Armament Haki to gradually evolve into an actual black blade!

As the armed baboons were about to attack, Rokujins’s eyes turned icy, his swords crossed before him, and he began spinning rapidly: “Dual Blade Style: Tornado!” A powerful tornado formed at his side, growing larger and larger—two meters, three meters, four meters… and mixed within it was Rokujins’s sword energy.

Just as the armed baboons reached him, Rokujins suddenly stopped, forcefully throwing the now over ten-meter-high tornado. Like a storm, the fierce tornado swept up everything in its path, including the armed baboons, dragging them into its midst! The sword energy moved with the tornado, continuously lashing at the bodies of the armed baboons. Like sharp blades, it sliced through their bodies.

“Woah woah…” The cries of agony from the baboons within the tornado echoed. As the tornado drifted away, dissipating only hundreds of meters later, the baboons inside fell to the ground one by one.

“Thud! Thud! Thud…” Each armed baboon was covered in wounds; none was unscathed. One move had nearly dealt with most lower-level baboons, leaving only a few, including the B-level Baboon King.

The Baboon King’s style was an imitation of Hawkeye Mohawk’s swordsmanship, making it incredibly tough to deal with. ?Character: Baboon King??Level: B??Skills: Swordsmanship (B), Physical Strength (C-)?

“Roar!” Seeing its subordinates knocked down, the Baboon King roared angrily, pulling out the oversized sword on its back, stomping its foot, and leaping up, sending a slash towards Rokujins. Instantly, as long as a 40-meter sword, the blade released a swift and decisive sword energy.

“Navy Six Styles: Shave!” Rokujins frowned, immediately reacting, dodging to the side.

“Boom!” A loud crash! The sword’s energy hit the ground beside him, creating a massive fissure. Though he wasn’t hit, the sheer scale of the attack affected him. Numerous shards of rock scattered all around. Rokujins had to swing his sword to break the flying rocks continuously, but there were too many, and he was still hit, forcing him to retreat several meters before stabilising.

But as soon as he did, the Baboon King roared again and launched another attack—a slashing strike!

“What the heck!” Rokujins frowned, using Shave rapidly to retreat while observing the Baboon King’s attack patterns. True to its mimicry of Hawkeye’s swordsmanship, each attack was a primary strike. Still, its power was comparable to any sword technique, enhanced by its muscular physique, making its swordsmanship even more formidable!

However, the Baboon King was not unbeatable. After dodging several of its sword energy slashes, Rokujins noticed it getting impatient. It abandoned releasing slashes and quickly charged at Rokujins, opting for close combat!

“Good! Let’s see whose swordsmanship is superior!” Rokujins smiled calmly, sheathing Lingfeng and holding only the black blade as he met the charge. Man and beast clashed, their blades constantly crossing and colliding, sparking fiercely. Neither could overpower the other, nor could either be quickly subdued. However, an expert sworder could tell that Rokujins was being pressured. The Baboon King’s every swing was the epitome of simplicity, devoid of any superfluous movement. Attacking for the sake of attacking, with no hesitation!

This meant that each swing of

the Baboon King’s sword was much stronger than Rokujins’s, consistently putting him at a disadvantage. Moreover, the Baboon King’s strength was naturally superior. The gap between man and beast grew wider!

“What’s going on, I must resolve this quickly!” Rokujins’s brows furrowed, knowing he would surely lose if the fight continued. The gap in their awareness wouldn’t be bridged in such a short time. He needed another strategy! Suddenly, an idea flashed in Rokujins’s mind. As the Baboon King’s blade came down, he unexpectedly gave up on blocking with his sword, allowing the large blade to strike his body.

“Armament Haki, harden!” Black Armament Haki instantly covered the parts of Rokujins’s body that were attacked.

However, the powerful strike from the Baboon King still forced Rokujins downward, even causing the ground beneath his feet to sink significantly. A tremendous pressure suddenly hit him, feeling as though he was bearing the weight of a mountain, tilting his body to the side. Still, Rokujins struggled to hold on, and with one hand, he grabbed the Baboon King’s large sword, a sly smile suddenly appearing at the corner of his mouth: “Now it’s my turn, isn’t it?”

As he spoke, Rokujins’s right hand, which wielded the black blade, had already gathered a massive amount of black Armament Haki, surrounded by red electric arcs, resembling a gigantic black flame sword. “Demon Flame Slash!” Rokujins’s gaze turned cold as he lifted his sword, slashing towards the Baboon King.

“Roar!” Seeing this, the Baboon King tried to escape, but couldn’t pull out its large sword. It seemed reluctant to abandon its sword. However, even if it had chosen to let go, it couldn’t have avoided Rokujins’s attack. The massive Demon Flame Slash transformed into a several dozen meters long sword, striking directly at the Baboon King.

“Roar!” The Baboon King’s eyes widened in a desperate roar.

“Boom!” A loud crash! The Demon Flame Slash engulfed the Baboon King. The ground was cleaved, leaving a nearly hundred-meter-long fissure. Black flames covered the area, lingering for a long time!

As for the Baboon King, it lay limp on the ground, lifeless. At that moment, the other armed baboons looked at Rokujins with a newfound sense of fear.

“Scram!” Rokujins bellowed. The other baboons immediately cleared the way, stepping aside. Seeing this, Rokujins walked step by step towards the castle. The surrounding armed baboons didn’t dare to stop him, only able to watch as he walked away.
