"Whoosh—"
Mihawk, with an ugly expression and sharp eyes, quickly took the sword on his back in his hand and slashed towards Ronan with a single blow.
Ronan had a wicked smile on his face, and he didn't dodge or evade, watching the blade pass through his body without a trace of blood.
"Hey, hey, hey, I really didn't mean it. Why are you so angry?"
"Your expression doesn't look like you were careless."
"Pfft...Hahahaha, is it that obvious?"
Watching Mihawk talking to him while quietly moving his feet, trying to wipe off the answer on his feet,
Ronan couldn't help but grin.
Tease the young Mihawk,
It really feels as good as teasing young Shanks.
Seeing that Ronan had stopped pretending and just burst into laughter, Mihawk swung the Night Sword a little harder.
But this time, Ronan didn't use the Hollow Transformation to dodge it. Instead, he pulled out Ace from his waist and directly blocked the murderous knife.
"The Supreme Great Sword Twelve Works—Ace?"
Mihawk recognized the knife.
That rumor... is it really true?
The sword originally belonged to the Pirate King Roger, but after his death it was passed on to his powerful successor - Ronan!
But the fact is,
This is just a relic that Ronan got when he helped take care of his family.
The reason why I replaced the Raven was really just because Ace was sharper, harder, and felt better.
In terms of strength, it doesn't help much.
The two men held black knives and slowly stood on both sides of the open space.
"Since this is a swordsmanship competition, I won't use my fruit ability. Otherwise, even if I win, you won't accept it."
"Zheng——"
Ronan slowly put on the Armament Haki and spoke calmly.
Young Mihawk would naturally not show weakness. He held the black knife Night across his body, a cold light faintly reflected on the blade, and spoke in a cold and crisp voice:
"Without the power of the fruit, can you still avoid my sword? My sword has been tempered by the blood of countless opponents and has become extremely sharp!"
"My Ace isn't at a disadvantage either!!!"
Both sides were wrapped in a strong sense of Armament Haki, looking at each other with serious faces,
Ronan could actually feel that the strength of the young Mihawk was still very good. After all, he was already 19 years old.
He is about the same age as Zoro, who has been training for two years. There is no reason why he should be worse than him.
Combat awareness, domineering, swordsmanship...
Using only swordsmanship and two-forms of Haki, Ronan was able to fight the young Mihawk on equal terms for a while.
Exhaling slowly, Ronan held Ace tightly with one hand. The domineering aura that was originally wrapped around the blade began to flow slowly like water.
The bright red Flowing Armament Haki is as gorgeous as cherry blossoms.
But the traces left by the blade are like a dark abyss.
"One Sword Style: Cherry Blossom Blade: Black Light!"
A Flowing Armament Haki floated above Ace, but what he swung out was a black sword energy. The huge sword energy of dozens of meters tore through the air and cut the earth apart.
Mihawk frowned, but he did not panic at all. He held the knife with both hands.
He slowly raised Ye above his head, and then chopped it down hard in front of him!
boom--
In an instant, a ray of emerald green sword energy, which appeared to be even larger than the black and red sword energy, shot up into the sky!
The two sword energies collided with each other very quickly, entangled with each other, even though the emerald green sword energy was sharper and larger in comparison,
However, due to the difference in Haki, the Flowing Armament Haki continued to disintegrate the opponent.
After one move, they are still evenly matched.
But Ronan was not in the mood to pay attention to these things at this time, because he noticed a point that could not be ignored.
Looking at Mihawk, who said nothing, slowly raised his knife and prepared to strike again, he was extremely cold and showed the style of a master.
Ronan instantly became unhappy, his expression becoming somewhat ugly.
Why didn't you say anything after you just made the move?
It's like I used a big move, but it was easily blocked by your Mihawk's basic attack.
Do you really think I can't feel it?
That sword energy just now was clearly your full strength!!!
From now on, when I read out the names of the moves, I will scream "dog!!!"
Feeling that he had been tricked, Ronan's mood instantly turned bad, and his original intention to tease the eagle also faded a lot.
A terrifying red light flashed in his eyes, and Ronan chopped him with his knife, determined not to hold back.
I really should teach you a lesson, Mihawk!
Seeing Ronan suddenly become a different person, Mihawk was actually confused.
What's going on?
But with his character, facing a more violent attack, he naturally would not ask the reason, but just raised his knife and fought with Ronan with all his might.
clang——
The two swords collided, and the aftermath caused the surrounding ground to crack. This was a battle unique to great swordsmen, with sword energy flying out from time to time.
The trees broke smoothly, the animals that strayed into the battlefield were split apart on the spot, and even the earthworms in the soil were split in half vertically.
"What a domineering power..."
After several exchanges, Mihawk's knife-holding hand was shaking slightly. If he had known earlier, he would have used the sword energy from a distance.
With the blessing of strange power, Ronan's swordsmanship is no longer just swordsmanship, he is simply using the strength of swinging a mace to swing a knife.
The two men kept slashing at each other, sometimes releasing sword energy, sometimes close combat with sword skills,
They attacked with their swords, and attacked from the south to the north of the island. Not even a single intact stone could be found on the island.
After three days and three nights, the winner was still not decided.
Damn... How come Mihawk's swordsmanship is so stable? No matter how hard he strikes, there's no flaw.
Ronan frowned and looked at the young man Mihawk opposite him, who was breathing slightly but still in good spirits and with a strong will.
Should we say that he is worthy of being the world's greatest swordsman in the future?
With his talent and the swordsmanship he learned from Captain Roger and Uncle Rayleigh, he was only able to fight an evenly matched opponent.
Although Mihawk is a few years older than him, it is enough to show the gold content of the world's greatest swordsman.
At least in swordsmanship, his talent is no worse than Ronan's.
Gradually, Ronan lost his patience.
He is ready to cheat.
"boom..."
As a terrifying aura surged out, bursts of black and red lightning flashed from the blade of "Ace", and the momentum that soared into the sky was completely different from before.
Ronan was about to shout out the words "Divine Departure" subconsciously, but after he came to his senses, he forced himself to hold it back.
At this moment, those eagle-like eyes narrowed instantly, and a dangerous intuition suddenly arose in his heart.
"Is this... the move we used in Loguetown?"
