"Shave!"
Upon hearing Karu's words, Liyuan immediately dropped the crocodile's corpse, removed the weights from his body, and dashed toward the sword dojo.
Louis was his master, who had meticulously taught him swordsmanship over the years and even shared the Navy's Six Styles with him.
It can be said that his current strength was not only due to his own talent but also because of Louis's presence. He held great respect for Louis.
Therefore, upon hearing that there might be news about Louis, he didn't even bother to listen to Karu's words and rushed out immediately.
At the port of Feiqing Island, a major-general-class warship had arrived, with the flag of justice proudly flying on the ship.
At the forefront of the warship stood the newly promoted Rear Admiral Genos of the Navy Headquarters, his face marked by a menacing scar running from his left eye to the right corner of his mouth, making him look extremely grotesque.
"Everyone, disembark and surround the Infinite Sword Dojo. Drive away all the surrounding residents, and don't let anyone approach here!"
Genos ordered.
"Yes, Rear Admiral Genos."
Over a hundred sailors from the warship disembarked and immediately carried out the order.
Soon, the sailors surrounded the dojo, and Genos stood in front of it.
However, the dojo was already empty, with only Louis remaining at the entrance.
"Old man Louis, I finally found you."
Genos looked at Louis, and his scar began to throb painfully.
Back when he hadn't joined the Navy, Louis had slashed his face, leaving that hideous scar.
Since then, Genos vowed to seek revenge.
So he joined the Navy, fought pirates, continuously enhanced his strength, and climbed up the ranks step by step.
After ten years, he finally achieved the rank of Rear Admiral.
Using the Navy's intelligence network, he discovered that Louis was on this island, so he didn't hesitate to come with his subordinates.
"You're with the Navy, and I'm not a pirate. What do you want with me?"
Louis frowned at the Navy surrounding the dojo, having forgotten about Genos since he hadn't left much of an impression back then.
"Damn old man, you've forgotten, how dare you forget!!!"
Upon hearing Louis's words, Genos's expression twisted in rage.
For ten years, he had been consumed by thoughts of revenge, but the opponent had completely forgotten his enemy. Such deep-seated hatred made it impossible for Genos not to be furious.
"Now I'll make you remember who I am!"
"Shave!"
"Finger Gun!"
In a fit of rage, Genos expertly used the Shave technique, vanishing from sight, and with fingers as strong as swords, aimed for Louis's heart.
"Clang!!!"
Instinctively, Louis raised his sword to block, but the powerful force nearly knocked the sword from his grip.
The unsteady Louis was sent flying by the blow, crashing into the dojo behind him.
"Boom!!!"
The impact created a gaping hole in the dojo, revealing the view from the front door to the backyard.
"Cough, cough!"
Louis stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and though he didn't know who his opponent was, he realized it was an old enemy.
"Hahaha, old man Louis, do you remember who I am now?"
Seeing the once-defeated Louis now injured by his attack, Genos reveled in delight.
"Old man, it seems you still don't remember. Let me help you fully recall!"
Not seeing the realization in Louis's eyes, Genos expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Shave!"
Genos charged at Louis again, not using Finger Gun or his full strength, just punching repeatedly, venting years of hatred.
"Clang!!!"
Louis said nothing, only blocking Genos's fists with his sword. However, being weaker and older, he couldn't withstand Genos's punches.
With each punch, Louis's body sustained more injuries, and blood continued to flow from his mouth.
"Boom!!!!"
Suddenly, a powerful Conqueror's Haki, like a storm with lightning from the sky, swept over the dojo and everyone around it.
"Thud, thud, thud, thud!!"
All the sailors present felt as if their heads were struck by heavy hammers, their eyes rolled back, and they fell unconscious.
Genos, who was venting his hatred, was caught off guard by the Conqueror's Haki, allowing Louis to escape.
"Damn it, how is there a Conqueror's Haki user here!"
Genos looked in shock at the rapidly approaching figure, who covered the distance to the dojo in the blink of an eye.
What shocked Genos the most was that the person wielding the Conqueror's Haki was a young kid!!!
As Liyuan rushed in, he saw his master injured!!!
The Conqueror's Haki burst forth uncontrollably, a surge of killing intent filled his heart, and the Haki grew even stronger.
"Kid, don't think you're special just because you have Conqueror's Haki. In the New World, there are many with Conqueror's Haki. I've seen the world!"
As a Rear Admiral, he had experienced stronger Conqueror's Haki than Liyuan's, and he wouldn't faint from just this.
"Tempest Kick!"
After Liyuan appeared, Genos abandoned his revenge on Louis and charged towards Liyuan.
He lifted his right foot and, with full force, kicked out a massive thirty-meter-long slash through the air.
"Infinite Sword Draw Technique"
Facing the massive slash, Liyuan didn't dodge. His sword flew out of its sheath in an instant.
"Crack!!!"
With a sword cry, a fifty-meter-long white slash erupted from the sword, slicing through the Tempest Kick's slash in an instant.
"Sword Master?"
Seeing his Tempest Kick cut down by this kid's slash, Genos was shocked to realize that the kid's swordsmanship was even stronger than Louis's, having reached the level of a Sword Master!
"Iron Body!"
Realizing he couldn't dodge the massive slash approaching, Genos instinctively used Iron Body to defend himself.
"Rip, rip!!"
The sword draw slash tore through Genos's Iron Body defense, leaving a deep sword wound from his left chest to his right abdomen, the powerful force sending Genos flying over a hundred meters.
"Master, you rest well. I'll handle this guy!"
Liyuan didn't immediately pursue Genos but instead went to support Louis.
