Seeing Vladimir enter, the king was taken aback, "Viola, who is this?"
"Father, this is a member of Phantom, Knight King. Lord Nine-Tailed seems to have been summoned back by their captain," the girl explained.
Vladimir interjected: "Your Majesty the King, I apologize for Nine-Tailed causing such a disturbance here, affecting you all. I will handle the follow-up matters in Nine-Tailed's place."
"Handle? You mean the 2 billion extortion?"
Suddenly, the burly man in the hall spoke angrily.
"Kyros!" The king was shocked, quickly saying: "Don't be impulsive."
"Your Majesty, don't stop me." Kyros suddenly drew a sharp sword, pointing it directly at Vladimir, saying: "Pirate, I don't care if you're Knight King or Nine-Tailed Fox, if you want 2 billion, you'll have to beat me first!"
Seeing this, Vladimir was very calm, "King, is this your intention?"
Before Doldo III could speak, Kyros said: "This is my personal intention! I see you have a sword at your waist, you're a swordsman, right! In that case, let's duel with swords! The one who runs away is a coward!"
Childish.
Vladimir thought to himself, but he wasn't angry, after all, the other party's position was on the king's side.
"Rest assured, I won't show my back to an enemy. Since you want to challenge me, I'll just try out my sword!"
Saying this, Vladimir slowly drew his Sword of Promised Victory.
The atmosphere had been tense, but when everyone saw Vladimir's sword, they were all stunned.
Kyros even more angrily said: "Are you kidding me? This is supposed to be a sword? It doesn't even have a blade, just a hilt!?"
He felt that he was being despised, and was very angry.
Vladimir chuckled, "This is the Sword in the Stone, a true holy sword that surpasses any famous sword in the world... Its name is 'Sword of Promised Victory'!"
...
"Sword of Promised Victory?"
Everyone was still confused after hearing Vladimir's statement.
In this world, famous swords were roughly divided into three types.
The top-tier Supreme Grade Swords 12 Craftsmen, the second-tier Great Grade Swords 21 Craftsmen, and the third-tier Skillful Grade Swords 50 Craftsmen, the rest were all ordinary products.
Putting aside the issue of swords and knives not being distinguished in this world, the people present searched their memories, but couldn't find any famous sword called 'Sword of Promised Victory'.
Vladimir was too lazy to explain to them, flicking the sword, he said: "Come on, so you don't say I'm bullying you, I'll give you the chance to attack first."
"What?" Kyros frowned, "This place is too small, let's go to the arena!"
"There's no need."
Hearing these words, Kyros was completely enraged.
He was once a prisoner. At the age of fifteen, he killed someone because his good friend was killed, and after being imprisoned, he was taken to the Corrida Colosseum by King Riku, becoming a gladiator.
There, he achieved a miraculous 3000 consecutive victories, and was later invited by King Riku to become the captain of the Riku Royal Army, and later married the kingdom's princess Scarlett, the two lovingly giving birth to a daughter.
It could be said that in his life, at his darkest time, he was saved by King Riku, who even married his daughter to him later.
Therefore, he was angry when he learned that pirates were extorting King Riku.
Now being "provoked" by Vladimir, he couldn't hold back any longer, drawing his sword and attacking.
"Thief, die!"
With a loud shout, Kyros held his greatsword, quickly approaching, and slashed his sword towards Vladimir.
"Super Intuition!"
Vladimir's gaze narrowed, and instantly, the flow of the world seemed to slow down.
The usually swift Kyros, in his eyes, was as slow as a snail.
Even more so, Vladimir saw the other's "future".
How he would attack, where the force of the sword would land, everything was clear and understood.
Feeling the power of this ability, Vladimir was a little surprised: "What a powerful intuition, this has already entered the realm of 'predicting the future'!"
Observation Haki could also do similar things, predicting the opponent's attack route, but in comparison, the Knight King's Super Intuition was stronger, much stronger!
Thinking of this, Vladimir began to respond seriously.
While thinking this, his body had already instinctively defended.
It was as if this sword had merged into his soul, everything was as he wished, as easy as moving his arms and fingers.
Holding the sword with both hands, raising it high, the sound of steel colliding between cold weapons came the next moment.
Clang!
"What!?"
Kyros was stunned, his sword slashing at the top of Vladimir's head, but it was blocked by the invisible blade.
"What are you so surprised about?" Vladimir's gaze was indifferent, having completely entered a calm state of swordsmanship.
"Your sword is invisible, but it really exists!"
Kyros' expression was cold, attempting to knock away the sword in Vladimir's hand.
"That's why I told you earlier!"
With a snort, Vladimir's arms erupted with a great force, in an instant, this force was transmitted to the sword blade, knocking Kyros away in one go.
Swoosh!
Kyros, flying backwards, had a shocked expression, unable to believe that someone could knock him away with just brute force.
Boom!
