No one can see the figure flying, the black knife of the eagle eye is already on Gawain's autumn water!
Gawain frowned slightly, feeling the terrifying power coming from the autumn water. After a moment of stalemate, he sighed.
"Hello!"
After greeting him, Gawain curled his lips at Hawkeye.
"Unlike you, I am not a pure swordsman.
Of course you have a chance to defeat me, but only time, not you, can bury me in the grave."
After the words fell, Gawain held Qiushui with both hands at the same time, and he lifted the knife and slid it sideways in the blink of an eye.
After the fierce friction between Qiu Shui and Hei Daoye's blades, they were briefly separated for a moment.
In just a moment, Gawain's body and the knife in his hand had already turned into scattered thunder!
At this moment, countless fine thunderbolts collided with Hawkeye's black knife at night!
It's obviously just a gentle caress from the thunder, but in fact, every touch of electric current is Gawain's almost full-power slashing!
A moment later, Hawkeye curled his lips with great satisfaction, and was then pushed back by Gawain until the two of them smashed the wall of the castle and flew across half of the island's sky!
In the distance, hearing the sound of the castle shattering, countless human imitators raised their heads in shock!
When they saw the two figures crossing the sky...
The baboons immediately became happy.
Hawkeye Sensai seems to have a good opponent again, and they also have a new teacher to learn from!!!
Thinking like this, the baboons excitedly chased the trajectory of Gawain and Hawkeye, and couldn't wait to admire Gawain's movements while running.
But……?
As the baboons watched, Gawain's figure completely disappeared. He did not rush in and evacuate by foot like any swordsman!
Looking from a distance, Hawkeye has already been blocked by endless thunder nets.
Gawain moves as gracefully as thunder, but every time he moves, his sword follows him like a shadow!
For a moment, the sword energy escaped from the thunder snare uncontrollably, and then gradually spread to the island, chopping up countless unlucky animals and nearby trees!
In the distance, the baboons who were observing everything showed incomprehensible eyes after a brief moment of sluggishness.
teacher!
What is this you are teaching??!
This kind of swordsmanship that shoots out blue fire...
I can’t learn!!!
Without the Thunder Fruit, how could they master Gawain's sword skills?
What a joke!
You know, everyone who holds a sword for a long enough time will develop his own swordsmanship habits.
Gao Wen ate the Thunder Fruit not long after he started practicing swordsmanship. He then decided to focus on the Thunder Fruit, and his swordsmanship routines were closely bound to the fruit!
At this time, Gawain's speed of swinging the sword is not mentioned, only the speed of his movement.
At his speed, even if the arm holding the sword remained motionless, he could just rely on his body to hit the enemy.
Such a sword that does not need to be swung is probably comparable to the swing speed of most swordsmen's most powerful slashes!
So in just a short moment, Hawkeye, who was constantly worn down by Gawain's sword-wielding collisions, finally showed a dissatisfied look.
At first glance, it turns out that this is not the person I want!
"Not only are you not a pure swordsman, you also put too much effort into your fruit..."
Holding the black knife Ye, after slashing Gawain's lightning, Hawkeye raised the long knife high, half-turned and swung the knife at Gawain!
This sword was obviously just one sword, but after this sword came near Gawain.
In an instant, Gawain retreated more than two kilometers!
Just as he was retreating, he was in the area where he had just stood.
Regardless of wind or light...
It seemed as if the entire world, even time and space, had been severely chopped into pieces by Hawkeye's sword!
Note, not cut off, but chopped into pieces!
After Hawkeye's sword reached the end, countless sword marks erupted in a blink of an eye.
It's obviously just a sword, but in a moment, if someone really stood in front of this sword, he would probably be chopped into at least a hundred thousand pieces by Eagle Eye!
Gawain suddenly recalled scenes from the past, and remembered that in an anime he had watched, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba had a low-demon background, and there were many excellent swordsmen who had super-membrane phenomena!
That's right, the best swordsman in the world in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba can slash thousands of swords in an instant, cut the demon into tens of thousands of pieces, and at the same time, he can continue to slash and destroy each of the tens of thousands of pieces.
flesh!
Compared with the world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, the strength background of the One Piece world is much stronger.
Is there anyone in Demon Slayer who can destroy a huge island in an instant and kill more than hundreds of thousands of people?
Pirates are everywhere!
Before the battle with Hawkeye, Gawain did not underestimate the world's greatest swordsman.
But it was only after the actual fight that Gawain was truly sure.
The pinnacle of swords in this world is really an extremely unreasonable state!
I remember Zoro's teacher saying that the mark between a swordsman and a non-swordsman was probably Zantetsu.
The difference between a great swordsman and a great swordsman is probably paper cutting.
The former is the basic requirement for strength. Only by being able to swing a sword strong enough to cut through thick steel, and only by developing such strength, can a swordsman step onto the threshold of being a swordsman with his right foot.
The latter is the extreme control of the body and strength.
If an ordinary person tries his best to smash a piece of soft tofu, is it possible that even the soft tofu won't be deformed?
The point is to try your best!
There is no such thing as picking it up high and putting it down gently. The sword that the great swordsman needs is the sword that can cut off mountains!
But as long as the great swordsman thinks about it, this sword will not hurt anything as thin as a piece of paper.
This kind of ability can be called idealism, let alone the eagle eye at this moment.
Hawkeye wasn't cutting iron or paper just now.
He cut away the wind, and even cut away the thunder!
After that knife, the wind that was flowing nearby was divided into hundreds of thousands of equal parts!
This kind of equal division does not mean the dissipation of the wind.
Instead, cut a flowing wind into hundreds of thousands of parts, but each one still maintains the flowing wind!
As for Thunder….
Although he was not actually hit by Eagle Eye, Gawain had a vague sense of judgment.
He always felt that if his thunder was blocked by Hawkeye's sword energy...
In that short period of time, he might not be able to recall that piece of thunder!
Although I don’t know if Hawkeye can chop the light, let alone whether the Hawkeye can chop the atoms.
But vaguely, Gawain felt that Hawkeye could do it!
even…….
A famous meme that once flooded the Internet was the meme of Atomic Samurai and King demonstrating sword skills to chop an apple...
The Atomic Samurai chopped off the apple's atoms, but King did nothing.
Even though King didn't do anything, Atomic Samurai was sweating profusely because he imagined that King had drawn his sword and used a speed that he couldn't see to let the blade escape from every part of the apple.
Drawn around the nucleus.
So much so that the King's sword clearly passed through the apple, but the apple was not harmed at all!
Admittedly, that was just the imagination of Atomic Samurai, and King did not have that kind of strength.
But Hawkeye….
Looking at this sharp guy, Gawain thinks Hawkeye can do it!
This is not a conjecture, but a very possible fact.
If a swordsman could cut through the sunlight...
Is there anything in the world that he can't do?
For a moment, Gawain held Qiu Shui's hands tighter.
There was also an interesting smile on his face.
He deserves to be Hawkeye, he deserves to be the strongest swordsman in the world, and he deserves to be the only swordsman in the current sea who has trained his supreme sharp sword into a black sword!
Even if his strength is not the best in the world, I am afraid that only the former Whitebeard, the former Garp and other No. 1 in the world can compare with him!
As for my previous judgment of him...
In the past, Gawain would inevitably wonder, is this guy Hawkeye just talking tough, but in fact his strength is worse than Shanks?
After all, Shanks still has one hand and the domineering aura of a Overlord.
but now…….
After personally seeing Hawkeye and Shanks, Gawain has come to a conclusion.
As expected of anime laws, the later a guy appears, the more terrifying his power will be.
Shanks, who showed off his strength a little before Hawkeye, is probably no match for Hawkeye!
As for Shanks' overlord look, shouldn't Hawkeye also have it?
Just like a arrogant swordsman like Hawkeye, with his arrogance alone, he should at least have an aura similar to that of a domineering king.
Or to put it another way, how could it be possible for every number one in the world described by the old thief Oda to not have an overlord to protect them?
Therefore, what Hawkeye once said to Shanks was that after Shanks broke his hand, he was no longer enough to be his enemy.
it is true!!!
…
On the opposite side, he gently picked up Heidaoye and pointed the sword at the ground beside him.
Hawkeye frowned unsatisfied and said.
"Are you avoiding it? Humph, you are indeed not a real swordsman.
Even... this is an insult to the black knife in your hand, Gawain!
I don’t look forward to fighting you anymore!”
After the words fell, Hawkeye turned around disdainfully and simply walked away into the distance.
Seeing Eagle Eye's quickly leaving figure, Gawain was stunned for a moment, then turned into thunder in a funny way, and came all the way to Eagle Eye's side.
"Hey, buddy, you're not going to draw such a conclusion, are you?
Strategic retreat is also strategy, and avoiding the edge is also swordsmanship.
And we, we only passed a few swords."
"A few swords are enough, enough is enough!"
Facing Gawain's questioning, Hawkeye shook his head disdainfully and said coldly.
"I already know your swordsmanship thinking. The sword is just your tool, not your pursuit!
What if you are holding not a sword, but a mace, a naginata, or even boxing gloves, or carrying a musical instrument.
Those messy things are just like the black knife in your hand, they are all tools you use to bring greater damage to your opponent while being fast enough!"
After the words fell, Eagle Eye turned back and glanced at Gawain coldly.
"So, our battle ends here. Your strength is indeed good, but with this, you will never be qualified to challenge me.
Even if you surpass me one day, even if you really have the strength to kill me.
Your swordsmanship is not worthy of my pursuit!"
"Haha, okay, okay, it's been a long time since I've been rejected outright by someone, and I actually feel quite happy.
If you don't like my fighting style, that doesn't matter. I'm not you, and I don't need your approval and satisfaction.
As for my fighting style, does seeking a greater advantage count as being disloyal to myself?
You just don’t want to fight a war of attrition with me, Mihawk!”
While teasing, Gawain naturally withdrew his autumn water, and then came to Mihawk's side.
At the same time, Mihawk nodded coldly after a moment of silence.
"What you said makes sense, and this is actually an advantage.
Admit your problems, then use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses to maximize every advantage you have.
This kind of thinking is very suitable for guys like you who are willing to be a pillar and lead others.
Even if I continue to fight, my short-range prediction and speed may still catch you.
But I really can't accept your way of quitting the battle for several kilometers at every turn.
Unfortunately, Shanks lost an arm after all.
If not, then I’m afraid there is someone worthy of my expectation in this sea.”
After saying that, Hawkeye also put the black sword back into its scabbard.
At the same time, Gawain clearly saw that Hawkeye did not simply insert the sword back.
When he inserted the sword, his blade cut through the scabbard cleanly, as if it had slid straight into the scabbard.
This also explains Gawain's curiosity. He has always been curious about how Hawkeye returned the black sword to the scabbard.
That thing was almost three times longer than his arm. No matter how hard Hawkeye tried, he couldn't send the blade back in a normal posture.
As for now….
It turned out that he did not insert the sword at all, but swung the sword towards the scabbard, and then put his sword away with the sword skill of passing through the scabbard without damaging the scabbard at all.
With a slightly surprised look on his face, Gawain smiled softly at Hawkeye.
"You just said that even if Shanks had arms, he would still be someone worthy of your expectations?
So, haha, wasn’t he your opponent back then?”
On the side, after hearing Gawain's words, Hawkeye paused, and then said to Gawain coldly.
"Haha, Gawain, tell me, what is the essence of Shanks?
He is a swordsman!
If he beat me back then, what do you think...
Will I hold on to the reputation of being the greatest swordsman in the world, or can Shanks really refuse the reputation of being the greatest swordsman in the world?
He is a rare friend of mine, but neither he nor I can and cannot accommodate each other!
We gradually became familiar with each other through fighting. At that time, he was really qualified to fight with me, and at the same time, he was very likely to defeat me.
Compared with him, you...you do have something.
But..., just based on your mentality of holding a sword, you will never be my friend.
Because my true friends never use anything other than swordsmanship to dodge my sword!"
At this point, Hawkeye closed his mouth and then silently quickened his pace.
As for Gawain, he let out a funny breath, and then followed Hawkeye back to his shattered castle.
Although Hawkeye didn't like Gawain, he still recognized Gawain's strength other than swordsmanship anyway.
Because next, he sat at the head seat of the table and raised his glass of wine to Gawain.
