At this moment, the battle between Hawkeye and Kuina is approaching the final moment when the winner will be decided.
Even if the realms of the two are almost the same, and their strength, domineering, etc. are completely different, at the end of the battle, one will win and the other will lose.
Just like Navy Admirals Aokiji and Akainu, their combat prowess is almost the same. However, in the original book, after fighting for days and nights for the position of Navy Admiral, the winner was finally decided.
laugh!!
A green sword energy stretched vertically and horizontally, cutting the earth in half in an instant, and the fracture was flat.
Buzz!!
A stream of silver light cut through the sky, splitting a white cloud in the sky into two pieces in an instant, flying towards the endless horizon, bursting out with bright light.
Between Kuina and Hawkeye, the action began to become less and less.
At first, only the figures of the two people could be seen intertwining with each other, the sword lights flashing, and the collisions continued, but slowly, the speed of the two people seemed to become slower and slower.
In other words, at this time, the competition is all about extreme swordsmanship.
No one dared to stay next to the two people. The area of nearly a hundred feet around the two people was empty. Everyone was a hundred feet away, watching in fear.
Although the navy and the pirates were still fighting, while they were fighting, from time to time, someone could not help but look over. The sword energy that stretched vertically and horizontally from time to time was really too shocking.
The movements of Kuina and Eagle Eye both went from complex to simple, getting slower and slower, but the sharpness of the swords became more and more concise, and each sword swing seemed to contain hundreds of thousands of swords.
In the end, the two men's movements were like beginners doing the simplest and most basic chops when practicing swordsmanship.
But the simplest chopping seems to trace some strange and invisible trajectory, as if it contains the true meaning of 'cutting'.
At some point, Kuina and Hawkeye's figures retreated at the same time.
The two were several meters apart, facing each other.
The momentum, the sword intent, everything was at its peak. In the next moment, a heart-stopping edge flashed through their eyes.
laugh!!
There is obviously no light, but it seems like thousands of rays of light are gathering here.
The figures of Guina and Eagle Eye suddenly crossed each other in the field, directly switching places, with their backs to each other, and stagnated there.
This time, there was finally no aftermath of this collision, as if all the aftermaths had canceled each other out in the blow just now.
Between the two of them...who won?
This is the thought that comes to many people's minds.
Even if I don't understand swords and I'm not very powerful, looking at this scene, I can still feel an inexplicable feeling that the winner has been decided.
I don't know how long has passed.
It seems like a moment, and it seems like countless epochs.
laugh!
At the end of Guina's beautiful long hair, an inch of black hair suddenly floated up and scattered on the ice.
On the other side, Hawkeye stood there. A crack suddenly appeared on his collar, and then a hole opened.
Ding!!
In addition, there is a slight gap on the black knife in Hawkeye's hand.
The result of this battle... can be said to be a draw, or it can be said that Guina wins.
However, Kuina is not better in swordsmanship, but in her sword, which is superior to Hawkeye's black sword. Because of this sword, she is slightly better.
Other than that, whether it's swordsmanship or domineering, the two of them are almost the same.
"Is this the pinnacle of swordsmanship?"
Hawkeye suddenly turned around and looked at Kuina behind him, with a hint of emotion that no one could understand in his eyes.
Hawkeye has been the world's greatest swordsman for a long time.
No one can surpass him in swordsmanship, and there are only a few people who even want to be on par with him in swordsmanship. Today Kuina is one of those few people.
As a swordsman, his goal is naturally to climb the endless path of swordsmanship. However, although the path of swordsmanship is never-ending, at his current point, he cannot make any further progress.
Neither Red-haired Shanks nor Kuina are superior to him in terms of swordsmanship.
This can't help but make Hawkeye have a little doubt, is it... this is the peak of the swordsman.
Can no one surpass this peak?
Is there any way ahead? This is the question that Hawkeye has been pursuing since he became the world's greatest swordsman.
He once asked this question to red-haired Shanks, but did not get an answer. Now he asked this question to Kuina.
"No."
Somewhat beyond Hawkeye's expectation, Kuina turned around, gently put the sword into the scabbard, and answered him with a decisive negative.
Kuina's eyes were extremely clear, as if she could see something that eagle eyes couldn't see.
The eagle's eyes stared at Guina's eyes, and then suddenly, as if he understood something, he turned his head and followed Guina's gaze.
At the end of the vision, there is a person.
Yu Ye.
"you are right."
Hawkeye turned his head, and the trace of confusion in his eyes completely disappeared.
Yu Ye's swordsmanship, cutting off half of the great sea route with one sword, may not be the swordsmanship of humans, but the swordsmanship of gods.
But there is no doubt that this means that one can indeed go further in the way of swordsmanship, but he just failed to go there.
"The world's greatest swordsman...this title belongs to you."
Although Kuina is not better than him in swordsmanship, if he beats him by one point, he has won. If he can't bear the victory or defeat, then he is no longer Hawkeye.
Hearing Eagle Eye's words, Kuina showed a slight confusion.
The greatest swordsman in the world...
She finally achieved this goal. Her father once said that girls cannot be the strongest, but she also broke it.
But, is what she wants really the so-called title of No. 1 in the world?
No.
Guina shook her head.
The confusion in his eyes disappeared, and he regained consciousness in his heart.
Like Hawkeye, pursuing a stronger sword is what she really wants to do, not the title of the world's greatest swordsman.
Watching Kuina's gaze change, there was a slight arc in the corner of Hawkeye's mouth that no one could detect. He didn't know if it was self-mockery, a smile, or something else...
no one knows.
Hawkeye just turned around and left the battlefield directly, no longer participating in the war on the top.
Kuina stood quietly in the field, then stepped forward, no one stopped her, no one dared to stop her, she walked all the way to the execution platform and stood silently behind Yu Ye.
Yu Ye glanced at her, with a faint smile on his lips, and then turned to look at Fire Fist Ace aside, his eyes deep.
