The Scourge of Pirates

   Chapter 885 Unparalleled Power...

  The Qiwuhai system was abolished.

  Kaido and Charlotte Lingling among the four emperors have left the field one after another.

  Balance, already fragmented.

  The site vacated in an instant will usher in an unprecedented chaos in the new world.

  The red-haired pirates who have been standing still, no one knows what actions will follow.

  However, the white beard pirates who rekindled the flames in the ashes chose to come to the water before Xingdao wandered in the muddy water.

  After all, it’s a direct route from Lavdrew...

  If it is the first half of the great waterway, those pirates who will only be intoxicated in the paradise and contempt their dreams, even if they know that there is a direct route to Lovelu in the world, they do not have the courage to race.

  In contrast, the pirates who have crossed the boundary to the new world have no resistance to this temptation.

  So even if they know the danger ahead, the pirates who have been in the new world for many years will never miss an opportunity.

   There are many pirates along the coast of Shui Xianxing Island, as well as many pirate groups from all directions. When they see the fleet of the White Beard Pirates, they take it for granted that the White Beard Pirates are here for the [direct route].

  In fact, the Whitebeard Pirates did not come solely for the [direct route].

   "Do you feel it?"

  Marco came to the bow and looked up to the distant Shui Xianxing Island.

  I don't know if it is an illusion, the sea breeze that is blowing over is mixed with a seemingly sharp sense.

   is like a needle frequently misplaced and tapped on the skin.

"Um."

The nearby foil Bista nodded, staring at Shui Xian Xingdao like Marko, and said in a deep voice: "It's a'sword force', I can feel it after such a distance...it should be. Maude and Hawkeye."

  He is a swordsman, and what he feels is clearer than Marco.

  In his opinion, if the collision between the swords can be spread to such a long distance, Mord and Hawkeye on the island can do it.

   "Did you fight so soon..."

   Marco obviously believed in Vista’s judgment, his face was slightly surprised.

   Before coming out of the cabin, Hawkeye was entangled with the members of the Maud Pirates.

  Unexpectedly, this meeting would have already fought Maud.

   "Hey, who will take a look at the live broadcast in the cabin and see what is going on on the island now?"

  In order to confirm Bista’s guess, someone shouted toward the cabin.

  As soon as the voice fell, the wooden door of the cabin was pushed open.

   "It's Maud and Hawkeye."

  Ace walked out of the cabin, confirming Bista's guess.

  Bista heard the reputation and curiously asked: "Who has the upper hand?"

   "Maud."

  Ace looked calm.

"Oh?"

  Bistana's lush horoscope trembled a few times, slightly surprised.

  Ace came to the bow, and could see the many pirate boats on the surrounding sea that were like them heading to the Shui Xianxing Island, as well as thousands of pirates on the coastline.

  These countless pirates are undoubtedly directed at Ralph Drew's permanent pointer.

  Ace rolled his eyes and looked far ahead.

  In his mind, the figure of the man slowly emerged.

as well as--

  The powerful strength that is full of oppression everywhere.

   Inside the huge pit, there is a lot of smoke and dust.

  A slight gasp came out of the smoke.

  Call——

   Suddenly, the strong wind flicked the dust floating in the air to the sides.

  Hawk-eye reveals his figure from it.

  He clasped the hilt of the black sword night, his lips were stained with blood, his chest was slightly undulating, and he looked up at Maude who was in the air.

  Next second.

  Hawkeye's eyes fell sharply, looking at the Qiushui slanting forward on the ground.

  As soon as he shifted his gaze, Maude, who was in the air himself, suddenly appeared beside Qiu Shui.

  Maud took Qiu Shui in his hand, then looked at Hawkeye, and said lightly: "Retreat very quickly."

   A trick that fell from the sky, although it hurt the eagle eye through the black sword night, it failed to "press" the eagle eye in place.

  So even if Maude teleported to Qiu Shui's side for the first time, he would not have a chance to launch a second chase on Hawkeye.

  Hawk-eye didn't talk, but slashed towards Maude with a knife.

  There seems to be a buzzing sound in the air.

  An invisible slash broke the air attack towards Maude.

  Clang!

  Maud held the knife and picked it up, slashing the invisible slash to block the flight.

  The invisible slash that was forced to change direction fell on the rock wall at the bottom of the pit.

  Like a paper knife across the paper, a huge gap appeared in the rock wall.

  After blocking the invisible slash, Maude stepped forward.

  Boom!

  When the right foot stepped on the ground, the ground cracked and the sand splashed.

  Maud, who was like a thunder, came to Hawkeye in the blink of an eye.

  The black dragon blade held tightly in his hand, wrapped in the purple thunder fireworks, and slashed towards the eagle eye.

  Hawkeye’s pupils shrank, and while withdrawing a step back, he raised the knife to block the blade of the black dragon engulfing the thunder and fire.

  The blades collided, and a terrifying force rushed along the blades.

  This is pure power, pure domineering...

  Hawk's eyesight was inadequate, he simply let Mord's force cut himself back, and slid his feet hundreds of meters to the ground to avoid the purple thunder and red fire spreading from the blade of the black dragon.

  Just the price of unloading strength is that the injury has increased a bit.

  Hawkeye tilted his head and spit out a **** saliva on the ground, and immediately glanced at the ground in front of Maude.

  There was his foothold just now, and it has now been scorched by the attack mixed with thunder and fire elements.

  Unpredictable shadow ability, destructive shock ability, black dragon blade with the power of three elements.

  The man in front of me...

   has many means, not a pure swordsman.

  So compared to red hair, it makes Hawkeye more stressed.

  There is a feeling that if you make a mistake, you will instantly lose.

   is really a terrible opponent.

  Hawk-eye muttered to himself, and at the same time thinking about how to gain an advantage from close hand-to-hand combat.

   Seeing that Hawkeye didn't mean to take the initiative to attack, Maude attacked again.

  The arms are bulging, and the blue veins are suddenly exposed.

  A black and red thunder flashed above the high autumn water.

  Ming Dy!

  Maud struggled to throw the autumn water.

  The autumn water that came out of his hand instantly turned into a black-red streamer blasting towards the eagle's eye.

  Hawkeye has already experienced the power of Mingdi once, knowing that it can’t resist it, and it is to avoid the right side before the black and red streamer hits.

  The black-red streamer flew by Hawkeye's side, but it stopped in a flash!

  Because Maude appeared here out of thin air, he held the black-red streamer with amazing power with his bare hands.

  Between the electric light and flint.

  The Qiushui Sword, which was winding the dragon's body, changed its trajectory under the traction of Maude, and volleyed towards the eagle eye who could stabilize his figure.

  Hawkeye frowned slightly and was forced to raise a knife to meet him.

  Black Dragon Blade and Black Blade Night collide again.

   is still a spark burst.

   is still surprising.

   But this time--

  A hole in the burgundy shirt on Hawkeye's upper body was cracked, blood stains appeared, and blood was splashed.

"Um?"

  The sudden and personal slashes made Hawkeye's eyes sharpened suddenly.

  Maud did not give Hawkeye any chance to breathe at all, Qiu Shui in his hand carried the afterimage of the blade, pouring towards Hawkeye like a squally rain.

  This airtight slashing offensive is almost suffocating.

  However, Hawkeye's defense is like a rock.

  The seemingly cumbersome black knife danced like a butterfly in his hand at night, steadily holding up Maude's offensive like a shower.

  Fight fiercely with the two swords.

  The sound of clanging continues, resounding across the sky.

  The lingering sword aura that spilled everywhere, chiseled countless cut marks on the surrounding ground.

   "Evasion."

  A gleam of luster flashed across Maude's eyes, and the blade moved forward.

  A shadow slash derives out of thin air, passing through the clashing blades like a wandering dragon, and biting out a second wound on Hawkeye's body.

  Blood splattered.

  Hawkeye was injured and his defensive momentum was slightly stagnant.

  Maud took advantage of the situation and violently attacked, and the shadow, purple thunder, heat, wind blade, and even the power of shock, greeted the eagle eye one after another.

  The only offensive in the world makes Hawkeye tired of coping.

  As the eagle eye judged.

  Maud's sword skills can be called the best in the world, and he is an out-and-out great swordsman.

   But at the same time, he has a variety of treacherous or powerful abilities, so he can't be said to be a pure great swordsman.

  Fighting against such a great swordsman, what should be treated with caution is not only the battle of swordsmanship, strength, and domineering.

  It is also necessary to guard against tricky attacks of various forms.

  Clashing with Maude At this point, Hawkeye has deeply realized what is truly terrifying about Maude.

I am afraid--

  In close hand-to-hand combat, Maude can be truly invincible in the world.

   And even if you stretch your distance, you will fight in the form of a leap slash.

  Maud slashed with one hand, and can also crush everything in front of him.

   "Unparalleled power..."

  Faced with Maude's onslaught, Hawkeye struggled to parry, and even had no room for counterattack.

  Before ascending to the throne of the world's largest swordsman, Hawkeye had fought against countless swordsmen.

  There are also swordsmen who are capable of carrying devil fruits.

  When the sword skills are superb, coupled with the peculiar ability of the devil fruit, it can indeed exert a particularly powerful force.

  The ultimate winner is still sword skill and domineering.

  Because a person’s talent and energy have an upper limit, it is difficult to practice with multiple skills at the same time.

  To refine the domineering, but also to refine the sword skills, and finally to refine the devil fruit ability.

  In this process, we have to consider which point to focus on.

  At the end, there is no way to specialize.

  So when Hawkeye is fighting against those swordsmen with the ability of Devil Fruits, no matter how difficult the process is, they can eventually defeat their opponents with more powerful domineering and sword skills.

  The Maude he is facing at this moment is also an opponent of the same type.

But……

too exaggerated.

  A person’s talents and energy are clearly limited.

  However, Maude can specialize in many fields.

  Whether it is domineering and sword skills, or the ability of plural devil fruits...

   is so powerful that it is astounding.

   Against such a monster, who dares to say that he can gain an advantage in close hand-to-hand combat?

  Hawk-eye retreats steadily, and the disadvantages become more and more obvious.

  The domineering shocking power, the interwoven interference attacks of thunder and fire elements, and the invincible shadow slash.

  A variety of methods interspersed in it, defeating Hawkeye's rock-like great swordsman's accomplishments.

   can't defend, and there is no chance of counterattack.

   can only be beaten blindly.

  From the perspective of the overall situation, from the moment Hawkeye retreated, there was no suspense in this duel.

  In other words.

  There is no chance of winning.

  But Hawkeye did not give up.

   said it was useless work, or dying to struggle.

  As long as there is still the strength to swing a black knife--

  One knife.

  All he needs to do is to strike Maude!

   can reverse the offensive in an instant.

  This is where the confidence of the world's great swordsman lies.

  Unless the black knife is released, the odds of winning are still there.

  嗤——

In the fierce attack, Maude succeeded again, leaving Hawkeye with an additional injury.

  And the domineering and strength advantages, every minute and every second consumes Hawkeye's physical strength.

  At this point in the confrontation, Maude can already conclude that Hawkeye's defeat.

  Just like in the past, as long as you stay on the offensive, you can kill Hawkeye 100% at some point in the future.

only……

   Obviously the victory is set, but there is a vague sense of edge on the side.

  This feeling is very strange.

  But Maude believes in how he feels.

  Before Hawkeye truly falls, he will not relax, nor will he make mistakes, but will do his best to the last moment.

   Never give the enemy any turnaround!

The tyrannical force of    King on the top did not swell Maude.

  Even if the intertwined offensive has pressed the eagle eyes into the mud, Maude is still thinking about making the offensive stronger and more fierce.

  Faced with Mord’s offensive that did not give the slightest chance, Hawkeye showed strong resilience, stubbornly resisting every knife attacked by Mord from any angle.

  In the course of fierce offense and defense, Hawkeye's injuries are getting worse.

  Go on like this...

  Unless there is a turnaround, it will only be a matter of time before Hawkeye loses the power to resist.

  Hawkeye stubbornly defended with extreme resilience, waiting for the opportunity to strike Maude with a single blow.

  However, Maude never gave him a chance.

  The offensive style that is full of sharp but not lacking in rigorous and cautious meaning is almost desperate.

   In desperation, Hawkeye drew back, trying to weaken Maude's momentum with a leap slash.

   But in front of Maude's shock, his slash, which is known as the world's number one, couldn't get any advantage.

  Neither close nor far away.

  There is no chance at all.

  So even if Hawkeye has the capital to reverse the offensive in one blow, there is nothing to do in the end.

  Flying slashes frequently cut out can't hinder Maude's offensive pace.

soon.

   is another round of close hand-to-hand combat.

  In this not-short-term confrontation, Maude and Hawkeye faced swords thousands of times.

  The surrounding terrain has been completely destroyed by the aftermath.

  And Maude also gradually understood the reason why the edge was on the side.

That is--

  The possibilities contained in the slash of the world's number one swordsman.

  Different from hitting the body with a fist...

  With Hawkeye's accomplishments worthy of the title of the world's largest swordsman, if he is slashed by Hawkeye's black sword in the night.

  The advantages created previously may indeed be put to use.

  The reverse is the same.

  If his Qiushui really slashed on Hawkeye, the battle could end in an instant.

  This is the duel between swordsmen.

  No matter how many advantages you accumulate in the duel, as long as you get caught.

  The next moment, you may be able to reverse the outcome with just one shot.

After    understood this, Maude was even more unlikely to give Hawkeye any chance.

  He suddenly increased his rhythm and opened a way to hit the eagle eye in the onslaught.

Then--

  The knife rises and falls.

  Hawkeye, who could not find a chance, received a fatal knife.

  But at the moment when he hit the knife, the black knife handed forward also touched Maude's body.

   is just a comparison.

  It's hard to make any contribution to the last knife sent to Maude.

  With the blood flashing.

  The long-stalemate duel came to an end in an instant.

  The world's No. 1 swordsman, he lost.
