Chapter 257: A piercing blow
However, as expected, an accident happened. The blade of Ancient Saint Green failed to reach the neck of Kaido, the King of Beasts, and was easily blocked by someone with just one finger.

“Thunder gossip!”

Before Ancient Saint Green could be shocked by the speed of the person coming, he saw a mace without spikes coming towards him, using the same move as Kaido, the King of Beasts.

‘boom! ‘

Ancient Saint Green blocked the attack with his arm and at the same time, he retreated violently with the help of the strange power of the owner of the mace.

“Bo…Boros…what are you doing here with this useless kid…”

Kaido gasped and stared at the person who saved him. There was rarely any hatred in his eyes, but there was also no trace of joy at having survived a disaster.

“I only have two top fighters left… She asked to come here on her own.”

Boros took a look at Kaido’s injuries and confirmed that they were not fatal before speaking slowly.

Of course, this is not considered fatal according to Kaido’s standards. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t have to go to the hospital to go through the formalities and could be sent directly to the crematorium.

When Kaido heard about the top fighter, his eyes twitched, and he suddenly had the idea that it would be good to die like this.

However, Kaido’s eyes soon fell on Yamato who came with Boros. If Boros’s arrival was normal, then Yamato’s appearance really made Kaido a little confused.

Kaido no longer had much regard for his rebellious daughter, and he left Yamato on the Overlord just because he wanted her to survive.

Unexpectedly, Yamato would take the initiative to rescue him. This outrageous situation made Kaido wonder if he had just had a short dream before he died.

“Humph, even if you have to die, you have to die in my hands!”

Yamato snorted coldly. She didn’t know why she felt so angry when she saw Kaido dying under the feet of Ancient Saint Grimm. Before she could figure out whether to save Kaido or not, she instinctively smashed the mace in her hand towards Ancient Saint Grimm.

“Just you? Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh…”

Kaido, who was breathing out more than breathing in just now, is now laughing out loud.

“Who are you?”

With the help of Yamato’s power, Ancient Saint Green distanced himself from Boros and looked at him. In his mind, he quickly compared the information passed down by the Five Elders and found the relevant files of Boros.

Since the intelligence network of the New World CP organization had long been controlled by Borsalino and Stussy, the World Government had very little information about Boros.

Apart from knowing what Boros looks like and that he is extremely powerful, all we know is that this guy seems to be a warlike maniac.

“The master of the universe… Boros.”

Watching the battle for a long time has made Boros quite patient at the moment. Anyway, when the fight starts, he will be able to resolve it quickly.

“Insanity!”

Ancient Saint Green couldn’t help but curse. The World Government actually knew about the existence of aliens, and had even dealt with space pirates before, but they had never heard of the birth of an overlord among the space pirates.

“……good.”

Boros glanced at Ancient Saint Green. With just one glance of his huge single eye, he could roughly judge how strong the guy in front of him was.

Although he doesn’t look as tough as Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, this swordsman is clearly stronger than his top fighters.

Unfortunately, Borsalino did not allow him to recruit fighters from the World Government. Such a powerful sandbag can only be used once, which made Boros feel a little bit regretful.

“The sword of punishment: beheading!”

Even though he was facing an enemy of unknown origin, Ancient Saint Green did not hesitate at all and drew his sword and slashed at Boros.

‘clang! ’

Boros’ fingers were faster than Ancient Saint Grimm’s sword. His fingers, wrapped in the pitch-black Armament Haki, seemed stronger than any weapon and once again blocked Ancient Saint Grimm’s slash.

Seeing this scene, Ancient Saint Green felt his eyelids twitching, unable to understand how the one-eyed monster in front of him did it.

His speed alone was not surprising. In Ancient Saint Green’s impression, there were several people who could block his sword, such as Borsalino from the Navy Headquarters.

But Boros only used one finger. Even if that finger was wrapped with Armament Haki, it would be too outrageous to be able to take his slash.

“……Go on.”

After waiting for a while and finding that Ancient Saint Green did not move, Boros actually took the initiative to speak as if to encourage him.

“You’re looking for death! Sword of punishment: torn apart by a chariot!”

Ancient Saint Green slashed dozens of times with lightning speed, but the result of each slash was exactly the same as the previous one, and Boros blocked them all with one hand.

At this time, Ancient Saint Green was as surprised as if he had seen a ghost. He could not understand or accept that the swordsmanship that he was so proud of was no different from a child’s trick in front of this one-eyed monster.

“Is that the only extent?”

Boros’s one eye revealed a hint of dissatisfaction. Although the guy in front of him was not the strongest in Mary Geoise, the strength he showed still made Boros feel greatly disappointed.

When it comes to swordsmanship, Ancient Saint Grimm is a great swordsman, and his sword is also a supreme sword. The three colors of domineering are all at the pinnacle. It is no exaggeration to say that except for the fact that he does not have a devil fruit, Ancient Saint Grimm is already perfect.

However, such a configuration is only slightly stronger than Kaido and Charlotte Linlin. Considering the compatibility issue, Boros even feels that Ancient Saint Grimm is not as fun to fight as Kaido and Charlotte Linlin. At least the latter can take more beatings.

“Madman! Since you want to die so badly, I will grant your wish!”

After Ancient Saint Green finished speaking, he sheathed his sword and took a deep breath. His aura suddenly changed.

Listen to the sounds of everything!

If a swordsman who has reached the Iron-Cutting Realm wants to go further, he must reach the realm of cutting through everything, and the swordsman who can achieve this can be called a great swordsman.

Hawkeye Mihawk, Borsalino, Rayleigh, Vista, Shanks, and Redfield and Jin before their death all briefly reached this state. However, compared to the other great swordsmen, Ancient Saint Green has an advantage that belongs only to him, which is the most special observation Haki – listening to the voice of all things!
The realm of cutting off all things, coupled with listening to the voices of all things to see their weaknesses, although this may seem like cheating, Ancient Saint Green’s swordsmanship has indeed risen to a higher level.

This kind of swordsmanship is not pure, but its lethality can reach an incredible level.

“Ok?”

Boros’s huge single eye revealed a hint of interest. He didn’t care whether the swordsmanship was pure or not. He only knew that the swordsmanship had a lethality above that of a great swordsman, coupled with the pinnacle of three-color domineering. The momentum created by such a configuration was indeed a big surprise.

The aura of Ancient Saint Green quickly rose to the extreme. Countless dark lightning exploded on his body, and the domineering aura that soared into the sky pressed towards Boros unscrupulously.

“All things are cut in two, Dark Sun Heavenly Punishment!”

The supreme sword wrapped in the domineering aura slashed out, and both the sun’s light and the false moon were obscured by the light of the sword. The whole world seemed to fall into darkness at the moment the sword light shone.

“Clang!!!”

Boros still stretched out his fingers to try to block the knife, but he didn’t expect that the swordsmanship that was more lethal than that of a great swordsman would bring such an amazing improvement to Ancient Saint Green. Although Boros’ fingers still blocked the blade of Ancient Saint Green with one knife, the blood that kept flowing from his fingers proved how amazing the power of Ancient Saint Green’s knife was.

“……good!”

Boros looked at his bleeding finger, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile with a hint of surprise.

Since he became the master of the universe, except for the battle with Borsalino, this was the first time he bled under the attack of the enemy.

Unfortunately, Boros’s praise did not make Ancient Saint Green feel happy at all.

The commander of the Knights of God stared at Boros’ bleeding fingers, his face filled with indescribable confusion.

“What kind of monster are you!?”

Ancient Saint Green spoke with great difficulty, word by word. As a great swordsman, with his full-strength sword, even a top warrior like Kaido of the Beasts would not be able to withstand a blow.

Even if he managed to hold on with his super strong defense, he would still lose half his life. After all, nothing could be cut by the great swordsman’s blade.

At least that’s what Ancient Saint Green always thought before he met Boros.

But now he chopped with all his strength, but only left a small wound on Boros’s finger. If such a wound happened to Kaido, if the medicine was applied slowly, it might heal before the bandage was completed. Even if Boros’s recovery ability was not that exaggerated, no one would think that such a small wound could threaten Boros.

“I am the captain of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, Boros, the overlord of the universe! Well, are you willing to join the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates? I am very optimistic about you.”

Considering that Ancient Saint Green had given him a small surprise, Boros introduced himself again.

After saying that, Boros couldn’t help but ask again. It was a pity that such a strong swordsman couldn’t stay to serve as a sparring partner for him. If this guy was willing to surrender, Boros wouldn’t mind accepting him first and then asking Borsalino for a favor.

“You lowly space pirate, how dare you humiliate me like this!”

Hearing Boros’s call, Ancient Saint Green seemed to be insulted and swung his knife at Boros’s one eye again. He didn’t believe that the one-eyed monster’s eyes had the same strong defensive power as his fingers.

‘Clang! ’

This time, Boros stretched out two fingers and clamped the blade of Ancient Saint Green, making it stuck in front of him and unable to move forward even a little bit.

“What’s wrong with joining my army? As long as you are willing to join, the position of the third most senior combatant will belong to you.”

Boros felt that the indigenous strongmen of this planet were a bit unreasonable. From Kaido to Charlotte Linlin to the swordsman in front of him, they were particularly reluctant to join the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.

When he was recruiting space pirates in the past, he only needed to nod his head and countless people would cry and beg to join. Even Melzagardo, Gloribas and Goryuganshoop, the three former top fighters, chose to cling to him without hesitation after seeing the strength he displayed.

But ever since he came to this planet with Borsalino, he encountered various setbacks every time he wanted to recruit strong people to join, as if recruiting them would cost them their lives. This made Boros really unable to understand.

“Everything is cut in two, lightning punishment!”

Ancient Saint Green was shocked and angry. The domineering aura wrapped around the blade turned into countless black lightning that exploded at the same time, and finally broke free from Boros’ control.

For the Ancient Saint Green, who claimed to be a descendant of the Creator, Boros’ invitation to become a pirate was simply a mockery.

Moreover, this guy claiming to be a space pirate also gave Ancient Saint Green a bad feeling. After all, the huge kingdom that once ruled the world had an unclear relationship with space pirates.

“Still refuse…”

Boros’s eyes gradually turned cold. Since Ancient Saint Green had always rejected his invitation, this guy would be turned from a reusable sandbag into a disposable toy. Moreover, it was someone else’s toy, so he wouldn’t have to feel bad even if it was broken.

After all, Ancient Saint Green was an old-school top-level powerful man. He regained his composure after just taking a deep breath. His observation Haki that allowed him to listen to the sounds of all things coordinated with his own breathing, and in the blink of an eye he restored his condition to its peak.

For a swordsman, the importance of Observation Haki is often even greater than that of Armament Haki. If one cannot remain calm at all times, Observation Haki will not be able to achieve the most perfect effect.

Although the battlefield at this time still seriously interferes with the observation Haki, listening to the sounds of all things and ordinary observation Haki are two completely different concepts.

The Observation Haki can be interfered with by stronger Observation Haki or even Conqueror Haki, but the Voice of All Things will not be interfered with and you can also analyze and judge the enemy’s real weakness through the three colors of Haki released by the enemy!
“Go to hell! Untouchable! All things are cut in two, dazzling execution!”

The speed of Ancient Saint Green increased significantly with his swordsmanship. The dazzling sword light actually passed over Boros’ fingertips and pierced the huge one-eyed creature.

“Tsk…”

Boros felt a little speechless. This guy had to pick a fight with his eyes, but he didn’t even think about it. He knew very well that his eyes were his weakness, so why did he dare to expose them so recklessly?

Boros, too lazy to dodge, simply closed his one eye. The seemingly thin eyelid was actually the most defensive part of Boros’ body.

Even if there was an attack that could blow Boros to ashes, his eyes would definitely be the last organ to be destroyed.

‘Clang! ’

The sword blade wrapped in domineering aura pierced Boros’ eyelid with the momentum to penetrate everything. Even if this eyelid was made of steel and the thickness was increased ten times, Ancient Saint Green was confident that he could pierce it through.
