The law of pirates

Chambord Islands.

"clang--"

Sonobe Keiichi and Hawkeye were separated at the first touch, and they each took a few steps back.

At this time, the area where they were fighting was in a mess, and countless giant trees around them had fallen down. There were criss-crossing ravines everywhere that had been destroyed by slashes!

The onlookers had already retreated to a place one kilometer away from the battlefield.

But even this distance is not safe, and it is difficult to see clearly the actions of the two people fighting each other.

Except for a few people who stayed not far away, now, most people can only stay to witness the final result!

Phew~

Hawkeye exhaled heavily, his blood surged, and a sky-high fighting spirit and sharpness flashed in his eyes!

He has been waiting for such a close battle for a long time.

Unlike his previous battles with Shanks and Qianhe, in this duel, only the winner is qualified to survive.

'One-sword style - unpredictable!'

The rustling wind turned into the wail of a fierce ghost, as if a demonic sound filled the ears. Even the eagle eye, which was on full alert, vaguely saw the illusion of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!

"Is this the trick that defeated Sauron in the first place? Such a terrifying ghost energy is just like the sickle in the hand of the God of Death!"

Buzzing~

I saw the black knife 'Ye' in Hawkeye's hand suddenly shaking violently, as if he had been greatly provoked.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was like the sound of a heart beating. Every time it beat, the sky became darker, and the black knife in Hawkeye's hand became darker.

The reason why supreme swords are so rare is that, apart from their unparalleled materials, the most important thing is that they can 100% convey the swordsmanship of the sword wielder!

This kind of communication is not limited to the body itself, but also includes the invisible will.

As Hawkeye said, all swords can become black knives. It is theoretically possible, but compared to the supreme sharp sword, the difficulty is almost exponentially higher!

Ryoma was the first person in history who could forge a sharp sword into a black sword, and this is where his name "Sword God" comes from.

As for forging ordinary swords into black swords, no one in this sea has ever done it, not even Qianhe now!

"cut--"

With a loud shout, before he had time to react, Hawkeye slashed hard with the knife in both hands.

He used all his strength in this attack, which was also the ultimate sublimation of his swordsmanship. It seemed that even the heaven and the earth were catering to him, maintaining the same breathing frequency as him!

"Rumble--"

Two super strong men who have reached the pinnacle of great swordsmanship and who have reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship finally collide.

A deafening roar resounded through the sky, the intertwining of knives made a sizzling sound of friction, and shock waves swept through the entire island.

At this moment, time seems to have stopped!

a long time,

The two bodies passed each other!

No one could see anything strange, let alone who was winning and who was losing. The two of them just calmly and slowly walked forward for a few steps, then turned around and looked at each other at the same time.

Phew!

Blood splattered everywhere.

A hideous wound appeared on the eagle's eye, like it was scratched by a knife or scratched by the claws of a ghost.

The horrific injury penetrated the ribs and brought out some fragments of internal organs!

"This wound is very good!"

He lowered his head slightly and glanced at his chest, not paying attention to the hideous wound. Hawkeye's tone was as indifferent as ever, as if he was not the one who was injured.

The scars left by fighting against strong men are not a shame, but proof of his will to swordsmanship!

If all he fights against are weak ones, it will not hurt him at all, and it will be meaningless, and his swordsmanship will also stop advancing.

and…

"Ahem~"

Sonobe Keiichi coughed violently, and drops of bright red blood flowed from his shoulders.

"It's been so many years since I've been injured, what a great junior!"

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been injured.

Perhaps due to strength, or perhaps because of the status of the Five Old Stars, over the past few decades, both the number of battles and the number of injuries have been few and far between!

He couldn't remember the last time a battle made his blood boil. The only thing he didn't forget was the sword in his hand.

after all,

Even though he was in a high position, he never slacked off in his practice of swordsmanship!

"You just took advantage of your age. If you were younger, my knife shouldn't be able to hurt you."

"Let's begin, round two!"

There was a hint of excitement in Hawkeye's indifferent expression.

In the duel just now, he did lose by a small margin, but this battle was not a duel that determined the outcome with one move from the beginning. Instead, one party had to fall completely before it could end!

The battle has just begun, and he is far from reaching his limit.

interesting!

Sonobe Keiichi gently rubbed his wrist and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are completely different from that Santo-ryu boy!"

He remembered that Zoro also said this to him. Unfortunately, that boy couldn't resist the erosion of the first-generation Ghost.

But Hawkeye is different. Although he was also influenced by the first-generation Ghost, he was suppressed by his strong will!

It seems that not only is the opponent's will extremely tenacious, but he has also risen to a whole new level.

…

on the other side,

"Deng Deng!"

Seeing Keiichi Sonobe's smile, everyone watching the battle couldn't help but take a few steps back, their faces turned pale, and their bodies couldn't stop trembling.

The timid ones among them even fell to the ground and did not dare to move at all!

That feeling is very strange and hard to describe.

It was obviously a very kind smile, but it was like seeing the ghosts and gods in hell, and there was a chill that came from the bottom of my heart!

"That old man...his swordsmanship is even more monstrous than that of the first generation of ghosts, no, far superior to the first generation of ghosts!"

At this moment, Zoro finally knew why Sonobe Keiichi was able to use the super demon sword of the first generation Kitetsu like a master.

Compared with Keiichi Sonobe, the first-generation Kitetsu, a deadly demon sword, is simply a well-behaved baby!

"I'm so shallow!"

"The breath of all things can be so strong, my understanding is far from enough!"

Sauron originally thought that sensing the breath of all things was just a necessary stage to become a swordsman, but being a great swordsman was a completely different world.

Unexpectedly, after practicing till the end, I can actually affect the breathing frequency of all things, making all things in the world move according to their own rhythm.

Use the power of heaven and earth to fight against the enemy in a majestic place!

'O frog in the well, come and see how big the world is!'

'How is it possible? The world can't be so far away!'

'This is defeat!'

Memories flashed by, and for the first time since he lost to Hawkeye at the Barati Sea Restaurant, he saw the vastness of the world and realized his own insignificance.

Being the world's greatest swordsman is by no means an easy achievement. Swordsmen in this sea are like crucian carp crossing a river, and there are many strong ones above him!

Now that they have chosen the path of swordsmen, no one dares to slack off at all, not even the two men in front of them who have once reached the top of the world's greatest swordsmen.

The road to kendo is not lonely!

Maybe now, maybe in the future, sooner or later someone will appear who can compete with you.

Not reconciled!!!

Zoro bit his lip tightly and tried his best to suppress the desire to take action.

It is clear that the opponent is right in front of you, and it is clear that you are only one step away from your dream, but you can only watch with cold eyes like everyone else!

…

"One sand in the Ganges, one world in one sand!"

"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg of the real world. Come and try it, Hawkeye Mihawk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flashed in Sonobe Kei's eyes, and his eyes looked at the eagle, like the ghosts and gods of hell patrolling the world.

silence!

The breathing sounds that were active all around suddenly calmed down. Under the gaze of this ghost and god, it seemed that the life connection of all things was forcibly severed!

As the world's greatest swordsman, no one knows the art of swordsmanship better than him, and no one understands the weaknesses of swordsmen better than him.

With his ghost energy, he can easily cut off the breathing of all things!

If so,

If Hawkeye wants to strike with the same power as before, he must have a stronger will or increase his strength several times.

It is true that a few talented swordsmen can break through in battle, and he has experienced many such things.

But at their level, both their bodies and their swordsmanship have reached their peak, and there is no way forward!

Only will can improve!

pity,

Sonobe Keiichi could clearly feel that Hawkeye's will had been sublimated once not long ago, and it was absolutely impossible to improve it a second time in such a short period of time!

This is?!!

For the first time, Hawkeye showed a shocked expression. He had never thought that someone could cut off his connection with all things.

"The only thing time can destroy is the body. The will and spirit of a swordsman can never be defeated."

"You, who have not experienced aging, cannot possibly understand, young descendant!"
