The White Sail Swordsmanship, which originated from ship combat, versus the Ceci's Machete, which was taught by the Blackwing Cult and widely spread among the pirates.
The battle on the ship was the area in which the two swordsmanship users were best at.
However …
At this moment, the seemingly equal situation was the result of Elvin secretly activating the Wild Amulet, which increased his Agility by 20%. Also, he had a Transcendent swordsmanship that was more proficient than his opponent's.
Over the past half year, after studying the recorded swordsmanship of the Rose Sword Saint and fighting many life-and-death battles, he had made greater progress than when he fought Her Royal Highness. If the level of "Proficiency" was further divided, Elvin's Proficiency had already reached 70%, while William's Proficiency was probably only 50%.
Apart from that, judging from the data, William's physical fitness was better than Elvin's in every aspect.
However, after Elvin's personal experience, he knew that in a real battle, it wasn't just the data that determined who was better. After the Transcendent transformation, the human body was a sophisticated system. This "platform" could integrate every module called "physical fitness", and the effect of 1 + 1 was far greater than 2.
Otherwise, wouldn't two peak-level trainee Knights be more powerful than an official Knight who had broken through the limits of the human body? That wasn't the case in reality!
Elvin's previous opponents were either much weaker than him or "monsters" in various senses, such as Skook the White Shark, the out-of-control Wacker Wales, and the weird Man Killer Fiend. His performance in this aspect wasn't obvious yet.
This time, his opponent was a normal human Knight, William of Iron Bones, who was born a civilian and learned Transcendent swordsmanship later and had fewer resources.
As a normal human, how could he be compared to Elvin, who had been a Knight since he was a child and advanced in a perfect posture with the help of the precious Transcendent feature of the Blue Flag Shark?
But even so, Elvin had displayed all the skills of an official Knight except for the secret swordsmanship that he had yet to use.
After all, he wasn't sparring with Her Royal Highness, who was also a senior Knight, but a real 'pirate'. Even if this guy had a good reputation, it wasn't a reason for Elvin to neglect him.
Even so.
Elvin's battle prowess had exceeded the expectations of this former naval officer who was now a pirate captain. Originally, he thought that he would be able to take down a young man who had just made his debut and teach him a small lesson to consolidate the reputation of "Iron Bone William" in this area of the sea.
Who would have thought that he would be so difficult to deal with!
One had to know that the Dual Blade Technique was more difficult to cultivate than the Single Blade Technique. However, if one were to use it well, the attack frequency would be higher and the power would be stronger.
For this young major to be able to withstand his scimitars for so long, he was definitely not as simple as an ordinary official knight on the surface.
The hard power of a Knight was usually composed of physical fitness, swordsmanship, secret swordsmanship, and excellent equipment. In addition, there was also the soft power of battle awareness, fighting experience, and a little bit of luck.
In a situation where his physical fitness was obviously inferior to his own, he relied on his exquisite swordsmanship to maintain an undefeated situation.
At this age, he definitely wasn't an ordinary person!
"Ha, interesting!"
The two of them had been chasing and fighting all the way. They had already jumped onto the main mast of the merchant ship, flying between the ropes, the sail, and the gaps between the sails. With their current physical fitness, even if they fell from the top of the main sail that was 20 meters high, it wouldn't be fatal.
It was no longer as thrilling as when Elvin and "Blood Anchor Zach" had fought to the death in the air.
At this moment, the crew of the "Roaring Conch" had already noticed the battle on the ship. There was no reason for the captain to fight alone.
Under the command of the first mate, the sailors had already lined up on the deck as they approached the merchant ship.
"Get ready!" As the acting boatswain, Gary had already prepared for the upcoming boarding battle.
However, since it was raining, the flintlocks at the front were basically useless. The soldiers all pulled out their navy sabers and turned into a bright forest of sabers. As soon as their officer gave the order, they would lunge forward.
Seeing that the navy warship was approaching, "Iron Bone William" knew that there wouldn't be a winner anytime soon.
"Hey, you're quite fast! I'm not playing with you anymore. We'll meet again, young man! "
He could still speak casually in a high-speed battle, which proved that he was at ease at this moment. He indeed lived up to his reputation.
With a shake of his sabers, he forced Elvin back. Then, "Iron Bone William" had already jumped down from the top sail of the second layer of the main mast.
However, he didn't fall into the sea like a stone as Elvin imagined. Instead, his body suddenly flattened, and he spread his arms. The special sleeves that looked like butterfly wings and the two sabers formed a structure that looked like the abdominal fins of a flying fish. He glided out!
[Transcendent Profound Meaning: Return of the Wind!]
Crack!
Although he didn't turn nimbly in the air, he was extremely fast. He drew a beautiful arc in the air and even easily cut off the front mast of the merchant ship.
After the demonstration, "Iron Bone William" laughed arrogantly and left.
His flat body brushed against the surface of the sea and flew higher and farther than the flying fish. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared in the misty rain.
"A powerful guy has come to this area. He and his subordinates aren't as nice as I am. Young man, I'm looking forward to your growth! "
Before he completely disappeared, he said something inexplicable in the tone of a senior.
"A powerful guy?! Who can be more powerful than the navies of various countries on this sea? "
When he rushed back to the Roaring Conch and took out his Thorny Golden Rose, he found that "Iron Bone William" had already "flown" out of the range of the sniper rifle.
"He escaped. Damn it!"
To be honest …
Although he was once suppressed in the sword fight, Elvin's mentality had always been in a condescending attitude because his means were far more than just the Knight's swordsmanship.
Alchemy firearms, Witchcraft: Uplift, several carefully prepared magic potions, various alchemy tools obtained from "Violet Eyes," and the seabird army that had gradually formed into a fighting force.
However, this former naval officer of the Kingdom of Tyro taught him a lesson with his superb swordsmanship. Even if he was a Knight, there were still many tricks he could play.
The "old" pirates who had survived hundreds of battles all had some skills.
If he regarded them as achievements that could be harvested at will, it would be absolutely irresponsible to himself and his crew.
This set of "Ceci's Curved Sword" was widely spread among the pirates. Elvin had learned about it from many sources. He even had the complete set of this swordsmanship in the "Shadow Library."
However, Elvin had never seen [Ceci's Curved Sword: Profound Meaning: Return of the Wind] in any records. Obviously, the most likely possibility was that William, the genius Knight, had improved and innovated it.
He should not be underestimated.
Watching "Iron Bone William" calmly leave, Elvin, who had ascended to the position of captain at such a young age, was slightly proud, but his heart gradually calmed down.
In addition, Elvin was also very concerned about the powerful person mentioned by William.
If this sentence was said by an ordinary person, Elvin would not care too much. However, if this arrogant guy called this person "powerful person," this person could not be so simple. It was even possible that this person could affect the situation of the sea.
"Is something big going to happen?"
It was useless to guess blindly. Even if the sky fell, there were still tall people to hold it up.
Elvin asked Gary to go with him to the merchant ship to release the tied up crew members and forbade others to board the ship for safety reasons.
Even if they were his own subordinates, if they saw the things in the cabin, it would be a big problem. It was better to eliminate them from the beginning.
Besides, with the example of "Iron Bone William" who suddenly appeared, Iven's order that they did not need to go on board for inspection was carried out very well by the crew.
The thoughts of the navy soldiers were also very simple.
After all, they had accepted the viscount's commission to pursue the pirates. Strictly speaking, this ship was not their spoils of war. It still belonged to the client, Viscount Andrea.
No matter what was on the ship, it had nothing to do with them. Why should they take the risk?
Without much interaction with the people who did the dirty work for Viscount Andrea, Elvin simply explained his identity to them and calmed them down. Then, he returned to his warship with Gary.
Then, the "Roaring Conch" escorted the merchant ship "Twin-Tailed Fish" to safe waters. After ensuring that the merchant ship would not encounter any more problems, they returned directly.
This cruise had been long enough. They still needed to report the situation of this operation when they returned.
"Captain, how long will it take for us to return to Gabred directly?"
Hearing this, Captain Adrian bowed and said,
"Your Excellency, if we follow the original cruise route and return to Leopold, then sail along the coastline, the total journey will take about three to four days. If we go directly to the open sea and follow the merchant ship route, it will only take about two days. "
"Then let's go to the open sea." After pondering for a moment, Elvin made a decision.
"As you wish! Your Excellency! "
The "Roaring Conch" turned the ship around and set sail again.
