One Piece System In One Piece 19 Chapter 19 : Fighting Kuina!!!

Leyla thrust her wooden sword forward as if she wanted to pierce her apart, Kuina, as she had her force from her dash, she jumped with her next step avoiding the thrust of Leyla...

As she was above Leyla she slashed vertically at her back and just as she was about to hit her a clingg was heard shocking her...

Leyla the moment she thrust ahead changed hands from the right one to the left one and managed to place her sword in her back as she blocked the slash...

Kuina landed in the ground and looked at her with an exciting look on her face... From the moment they took their stances until now only 3-4 seconds pa.s.sed...

Kous.h.i.+ro : That girl handles the sword in an orthodox way that involves changing her sword placement either by switching hands or length measure by her fingers...

Zoro who was watching was shocked by this as he had tried the same thing only to be hot by Kuina in his head...

Kuina : How did you do that??

Leyla : I told you right?? beat me and i'll be your target practice for a year... Lose to me and show the world that you're the strongest...

Kuina : Lose to you?? It seems like i found my new target practice...

Leyla : Don't cry later...

Leyla this time took a different stance, it wasn't the standard like Kendo of the basics they use to spar, she raised her wooden sword as she held it in the same line with her shoulders and pointed at Kuina...

Everyone was confused including Kuina but among them finally, a happy going looking figure opened his eyes lightly as he was shocked to see again this stance...

Leyla : This time, no warm up...

Leyla charged in Kuina's place with a unique way of sidestepping which made her in the eyes of Kuina as if she was a walking ghost...

Leyla thrust again and out of pure instincts placed her sword in her right side blocking it in a fluke...

But what followed was a series of thrusts that had different lengths and speeds...

Kuina could not follow the sword at all, all she could see was Leyla changing placements of her sword, there were many times she was standing on the left side and others in her right...

When Leyla thrust from the placement of her sword a bit above her her shoulders as she was sidestepping while her body was sideways her sword was like a pole in Kuina's eyes...

1 minute has pa.s.sed since Leyla began and Kuina was always in defence, but now she gritted her teeth and slashed at Leyla's sword instead of parrying...

Clanng!!!!

Leyla's sword... got forced back and reached over her head just as Kuina saw this chance to try and slash horizontally now in order to gain the victory, Leyla switched from her right hand to her left as the primary holding hand which made her sword placement much faster...

Kuina felt something on her neck and was shocked to see Leyla's sword while her own was 10 centimetres away from her abdomen...

Kuina : This... how did I lost??

Leyla : Quite easy when i held the sword with my two hands and you parried it my primary holding hand was my right...

Kous.h.i.+ro : At that moment if you had slashed vertically as it, you could have only made a single straight line and at most hitting Kuina's shoulder...

Kous.h.i.+ro : But as you had antic.i.p.ated that, you changed your primary holding hand to your left and when you slashed it got faster and a bot in a different angle as you changed the way your body was standing...

Kuina : Then that made her body gain a few centimetres towards the back and her sword from my shoulder reached my neck... I lost...
