Chapter 297 Swordsman Duel!
”Ian! Let’s fight!”
Luo unconsciously raised his hand and used his little finger to pick his ear.
He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he hear such nonsense now.
Luo took a close look at Hawkeye, as if he wanted to identify whether this guy was someone pretending to be him.
It was not enough to look with his eyes, he even used his observation Haki to scan Hawkeye back and forth.
Then he finally confirmed that the man in front of him was real, and what he said just now should not be his own illusion.
So, is it serious?
Luo couldn’t help but be amazed.
Six years ago, Ian was already terrifyingly strong, and after six years of training, this bastard has become so strong that it is unimaginable.
Now Ian can even suppress Kaido and Barrett’s combination with his domineering power without using his ability.
While rubbing the round head of the little girl in front of him, Ian chuckled and looked at his good brother, “Oh, you look full of energy, Mihawk.”
The observation Haki swept a little over the man, and Ian nodded slightly, “It is true that he has become much stronger. There is no doubt that he has the strength to be compared with Teacher Kai or Barrett.”
Six years have passed, and Hawkeye has also entered his peak period.
“Don’t look so pleased,” Hawkeye rolled his eyes, “I don’t want to be praised by you. Now, Ian, all you need to do is just accept my challenge!” “Is it really necessary? Old friend,” Ian said with a smile, “You also participated in the battle six years ago. Do you think you are as strong as I was at that time?” Hawkeye was immediately immersed in memories. The battle between the Beasts Pirates and the World Government six years ago was indeed the highest-level battle Hawkeye had ever experienced. The reason why it was called high-level was that he was considered weak among the people who participated in that battle, even though he had the strength to rival the admirals of the navy. The strength that Ian showed in that battle was indeed unforgettable for Hawkeye in his life. He had never seen anyone so strong. At that time, Ian was far superior to those monsters who were once called emperors. That was only six years ago, when Ian was only seventeen years old.
During these six years, he must have stepped into a higher realm.
But.
”That’s the way it should be!”
Hawkeye’s eyes were burning, “Ian, come on, let me see what the world you are in now looks like!”
He has entered a complete bottleneck period.
His swordsmanship and domineering spirit have been honed to the top, and he can’t make any more breakthroughs. Even the black knife has been refined, and now he has no idea how to become stronger.
But Hawkeye is not satisfied with this.
If he hadn’t seen a wider world, he might have stopped and fallen into confusion. After all, there is no future, and there is no reason to continue to struggle.
But it’s different after seeing Ian.
There are still such powerful guys in the world! It can still become stronger! There are still higher and stronger fields in this world! Hawkeye now wants to see that kind of world very much! ”Is that so?”
Ian nodded gently.
That’s understandable.
In the original work, Hawkeye does nothing all day long, just waiting for Zoro to surpass him. It’s probably because he can’t see the way forward and starts to play badly.
”Come on! Ian!”
Hawkeye’s eyes are shining, “Come and let me see the power you have now!”
”That doesn’t matter,”
Ian smiled, “But before that, do me a favor, Mihawk.”
”Help?”
The good friend raised his eyebrows.
I don’t understand what Ian can do for me now?
What does this good friend who has reached the peak of strength and wealth need his help? Dongdongdong.
Suddenly, a burst of dense footsteps came from outside the door.
“Hmm?”
Hawkeye looked back subconsciously, and the next second, the paper door was opened, and two figures rushed over impatiently.
”Ian! I heard Hawkeye is here!”
Zoro, who has green hair, has an excited look in his eyes.
Guina, who rushed in side by side with him, was also very excited. She saw Hawkeye who was looking back at them at a glance, “Mr. Mihawk, long time no see!”
It’s really been a long time since we last met. The last time they met was probably in the East China Sea.
”Come and fight with us!”
Guina said loudly.
”Uh…”
Hawkeye frowned instantly.
What a familiar word.
He turned around and looked at Ian.
Ian smiled and nodded at him.
Is this what he wants to help with? “Hmph,”
Looking at the two young boys and girls, Hawkeye’s mouth curled up slightly, but the sound he made was a cold snort, “If it was a first-class swordsman, he would be able to detect the gap between us without fighting, right?”
“Who cares about that kind of thing!”
Zoro just laughed excitedly, “The strongest is right in front of us now. If we do nothing, what kind of swordsman are we!”
“Just give the young people a chance, Mihawk,”
Ian hugged little Bonnie, as if he was holding a big doll, resting his chin on her head, chuckled, “Let them see what kind of power the so-called world’s number one swordsman has.”
“Is that so?”
Hawkeye nodded gently, “Then come on.”
“Great!!”
Zoro and Kuina looked at each other, and saw unprecedented excitement in each other’s eyes.
So later, on the flat ground on top of the skull, the usual battle venue on Onigashima.
Zoro and Kuina stood side by side, and not far in front of them was the world’s number one swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk.
Ian sat leisurely on a stone not far away.
Next to him, Yamato hugged the restless Bonnie and told the little girl not to run around.
The little girl waved her short arms and legs, her face full of excitement, “Are they dueling? It seems fun, I want to join in too!”
”Don’t get in the way, Bonnie, now we just need to watch quietly.”
While suppressing Bonnie, Yamato looked at Hawkeye in surprise, “But, Mihawk’s aura has become so strong, it’s almost the same as his father’s!”
”How could Zoro and Kuina defeat him?”
”Isn’t Miss Kuina very dangerous?”
Sanji, who also came to watch the battle, became anxious, “No, I want to help too!”
”It’s a duel between swordsmen, why are you messing up it.”
Ace rolled his eyes and raised his hand to hold Sanji’s shoulder, “It’s okay, isn’t Ian here?”
Sanji was slightly relieved. Yes, with Ian here, who can be so presumptuous in front of him? In front.
Kuina has become a slender catman, but her body seems very relaxed, with her right hand resting on the hilt of the sword at her waist.
Zoro has tied a black headscarf on his forehead, pulled out three swords, bit one in his mouth, and held two in his palms.
”Oh?”
Hawkeye looked at the two with interest.
Has this girl become a capable person? In this case, the physical gap has actually been made up.
However.
Hawkeye’s sight moved and finally focused on Zoro.
Strictly speaking, it focused on the three swords in Zoro’s hand.
”It’s not an easy thing to see four swords of the quality of a large sword at one time.”
Hawkeye said with a smile.
Kuina smiled.
Her Wado Ichimonji is of the same level of quality as the three swords in Zoro’s hand.
“You will know their power soon!”
Zoro laughed excitedly.
“Since this is Ian’s request, I will satisfy you.”
Hawkeye slowly raised his hand behind his back, grasped the long handle, and pulled out the pitch-black sword from his back.
Zoro and Kuina’s eyes fixed at the same time.
“Black sword?”
Kuina said in astonishment, “You turned that sword into a black sword?”
The black sword is the ultimate pursuit of a swordsman.
A truly indestructible weapon!
The pitch-black blade slowly rose and pointed at the boy and girl here, “Although I am proud of this,”Lucky, you are the first opponent after it was refined into a black sword.”
”It’s really an honor!”
At this moment, Zoro has already ejected, and the three blades in his hands are covered with dark domineering.
”Demon Slash!”
Three dark tracks tore through the air, and the sharp edge was about to tear Hawkeye apart.
A trace of appreciation flashed in Hawkeye’s eyes.
No wonder Ian specially recruited this little devil to his command.
He really has an extraordinary talent.
At this age, he can swing such a slash. Hawkeye believes that he could not do such a thing when he was the same age.
A slash with amazing power! However, for him now, This is too immature.
If you want to compete in strength.
Hawkeye chuckled and swung the black knife in his hand lightly, but the speed seemed to be faster than lightning.
With a crisp sound.
Zoro’s body has unconsciously staggered backwards.
What a great power!!
He looked up in astonishment.
Instantly swung a knife and repelled his three knives at the same time!
This guy hasn’t even used his domineering yet! ”One sword flow-North Wind!”
Just like the cold wind in winter, Kuina lowered her body, pressed her right hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and her body had already catapulted in front of Hawkeye.
Hawkeye only felt a bright light in front of his eyes, and a brilliant slash broke out in an instant.
”Iai? ”
Dang!!
The dark lightning burst.
Kuina frowned, and her sword chopped on the big sword that Hawkeye had taken back, but it couldn’t shake it at all.
”Kuina! Get out of the way!”
Zoro jumped up, “Thousand Eight Troubled Phoenix! !”
The three slashes merged into one, turning into a spiral slash that fell down.
Faced with such a large-scale slash, Hawkeye just sneered, “Are we going to compete in flying slashes next?”
With a wave of the black sword in his hand, the emerald green slash soared into the sky, and actually directly split Zoro’s slash in the middle.
If Zoro hadn’t dodged quickly, he would probably have been hit.
At the moment of landing, without hesitation, the two swords in Zoro’s hands spun.
”Three Thousand Worlds! ! ”
As his body spun, three swords tore the world apart, and Zoro was ejected.
”Still far away.”
Hawkeye just sneered and waved his sword casually.
The blade flashed with green light, and with just one slash, Zoro’s trick was broken, and the whole person was chopped away again.
But at this time, Kuina was close again.
At some point, the Wado Ichimonji in her hand had returned to the sheath again.
”Itto-ryu Iai-Chiba!”
In an instant, a brilliant lotus enveloped Hawkeye.
Each petal of this beautiful firework is a slash.
”A fast sword?”
Hawkeye chuckled, “But it’s still not fast enough. ”
Swish!!
A brilliant green blade light was across the air.
Kuina didn’t even see how Hawkeye swung the blade, she only saw the slash appear out of thin air.
Then she was chopped off and flew away.
”Miss Kuina! !”
Sanji screamed in surprise, and only complained with gritted teeth after seeing Kuina turn around in the air and land steadily, “Such a big blade can be swung at such a speed, this guy! !”
”Green algae head! What are you still hesitating about! Use all your strength!”
”You don’t need to tell me! ! ”
Zoro landed lightly, his eyes looking at Yama, who was held in his right hand.
Come on! Yama! All the Haki is for you!
Zoro no longer controlled, and let Yama absorb his Haki at will.
Not only absorbing, he took the initiative to pour Haki into Yama.
”Oh?”
Hawkeye finally got interested, and looked at Zoro in surprise.
Invisible spirit spread from Zoro’s body in waves.
Green lightning spread from the three swords, and the blades were wrapped with flame-like air waves.
”Amazing!”
Hawkeye couldn’t help but exclaimed.
Although he relied on the sword in his hand, the sword was the swordsman’s weapon. Being able to fully master the sword in his hand was the proof of an excellent swordsman.
”Don’t rush to praise! ”
Zoro’s eyes were fixed on Hawkeye, “Yan Wang Jiu Dao Liu!”
He poured all his strength into Yan Mo’s domineering aura, even if it wasHe couldn’t hold on for too long, so he might as well decide the outcome with one move! The green air wave rippled on his body, and finally condensed into two more heads and four more arms on Zoro’s shoulders.
Just like the legendary Shura! ”Asura!!”
Swish! Zoro turned into lightning, and the green light exploded, forming a series of shining arcs! At the end of this arc, Hawkeye’s eyes became a little more serious.
The wrist became dark and domineering, and injected into the blade in his hand.
”A flash.”
Swish! !
The two figures crossed each other in an instant.
The next moment, blood spurted up.
”Ugh!!”
Zoro’s eyes widened, and a huge wound was torn directly on his chest. Blood spurted out in large quantities, and he fell on his back.
The three beloved swords spun in the air, and finally fell down one after another, stabbing him.
”The gap is too big.”
Ace shook his head.
”Zoro has done a good job.”
Ian said with a smile, “Mihawk took it a little seriously.”
Zoro’s full power is very strong in the disaster level, but it is still too weak in front of Hawkeye. It is already very remarkable that Mihawk can use Haki.
”One sword style – Raikiri!”
Thunder shot towards Hawkeye’s back.
Kuina’s speed has never been so fast.
The whole person and the sword in his hand have become one, and at this moment, it seems to have turned into a spear that penetrates everything, and wants to pierce Mihawk directly.
But.
Dang! Hawkeye just put the black sword in his hand behind his back.
Then, in Kuina’s astonished eyes, the tip of her knife collided with Hawkeye’s blade, so perfectly.
”It’s over.”
A green whirlwind rose into the sky in this world.
In this raging storm, a slender figure was swept away mercilessly.
Finally, he fell to the ground powerlessly.
Well, Kuina’s strength is a little worse than Zoro’s, barely touching the edge of disaster.
At this moment, Sanji jumped up and caught Kuina directly.
”Miss Kuina, are you okay?”
Sanji was more anxious than Kuina herself.
At the same time, Hawkeye’s blade was already pointing at Ian,
”Just finished warming up, Ian, come on!”
There are two more chapters! (End of this chapter)
