Mihawk's expression suddenly changed, but it was too late for him to react further.

As soon as the knife came to his body, blood flew out.

Phew...

Hawkeye's body flew backwards, smashing through countless trees and rocks, and finally fell hard to the ground. He was seriously injured in just one blow.

This is the magic of the fruit's ability. If it were a pure swordsmanship competition, he would never be in the situation where he cut himself just now. The man in the mirror could actually collide with him in reality at the same time. This is something that can never be done with swordsmanship.

thing.

But the fruit ability can be done very easily, which makes Hawkeye unable to react in time.

This is a matter of experience. If it were Mihawk twenty years later, he would never be in this situation. Maybe after suffering a loss from Allen today, he would pay attention to this problem.

Allen did not pursue. Although Allen did not hold back much in the fight just now, it was not a real life-and-death battle with Mihawk. Otherwise, the location of the knife just now would not have been on the chest, but on the neck.

If it were a vital part of his neck, the injury would have killed at least half of Mihawk's life.

Now, Mihawk can still stand up and has the strength to fight again.

When the smoke cleared, Hawkeye walked out. The scar on his chest had soaked his clothes, and the originally neat and noble shirt now became tattered.

However, Mihawk's eyes were still as sharp as an eagle, and he did not flinch at all.

He once again grasped the black knife [Ye] with both hands. For a moment, all the dust on it fell off, and the whole knife still carried an extremely sharp energy.

"Come again." Mihawk said in a deep voice.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed towards Allen. Through the battle just now, Mihawk had a deep understanding that he must not let Allen take the upper hand again, otherwise there would be no need to continue this challenge.

With Allen's swordsmanship and strange fruit ability, if he has the upper hand, he can suppress himself throughout the whole process and never give himself a chance to win against the odds.

Therefore, he wants to be the first.

For a real battle, one step should be taken first, and under the same conditions, it is important to strike first, not to mention that one is still the weaker party.

For those who have reached a certain level of combat power, the rush skill is a must-have for almost everyone. Just like [Shaving] among the six moves, other people will also have similar skills.

This is not something that is very advanced, it is a must for masters. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get the upper hand in the battle. The speed is not as fast as there are too many people. Whether others fight or retreat, the initiative is completely in the hands of the person.

Therefore, this kind of skill can be basically said to be a must-have for everyone with advanced combat power. The difference is that some people may be very proficient in it, while some people just do it just to prevent themselves from being unable to deal with this situation.

Mihawk naturally also masters the skill of dashing forward, and his speed is very fast, which can be said to be very fast.

The white embroidered shirt looks valuable, and the black pants and shoes are also high-end goods. In addition to being more comfortable, they can also minimize the impact of these external things on the battle.

The eagle's eye arrived in an instant like a glancing shadow. The black long knife was even better with its own speed, so fast that even the shadow was completely lost.

It goes beyond the sound of the wind and beyond what ordinary people can capture with their sight.

There was no trace of the knife in Allen's pupils, but the knife appeared in his consciousness, and his domineering power could easily capture the attack.

As early as when Mihawk charged forward, the Haki of the Observation Color had already predicted his attack to a certain extent. This is one of the most basic functions of the Observation Color. It is simple and direct, but very useful.

The dark red blade of the supreme sharp knife [Ace] was covered with a layer of armed domineering energy. With Allen's indomitable momentum, he collided with Mihawk's black knife [Ye].

clang!

There was a loud noise, and the billowing air waves swept wildly around, making the justice cape on Allen's body flutter like a flag, fluttering endlessly.

Mihawk's expression did not change. He had already expected such a result. Wanting to achieve success with one blow was too naive. Fighting with masters often involves not only talent competition, but also past experience, awareness, and endurance.

Many factors such as on-the-spot reaction will affect a battle.

In terms of these, Mihawk felt that he was inferior to him. The only thing that was more powerful than Allen was his devotion to the sword.

It's such purity.

Because it is pure, it is powerful.

If a person maintains a purity about everything that others cannot imagine, he can always do things that others cannot.

In fact, it is not worth mentioning. Just like being the number one scholar in 360 professions, as long as you concentrate on doing something, you will be able to achieve results one day.

What's more, Mihawk's amazing swordsmanship talent, coupled with his purity, makes him more spiritual than Allen in his understanding of swordsmanship.

Mihawk has completely stepped out of his own way of swordsmanship, while Allen can be said to have just started in this regard.

He stood on the shoulders of giants. He once learned swordsmanship from Roger, Rayleigh, and Kozuki Oden, and he saw scenery that half of the swordsmen would never touch.

Although it is very powerful, it is someone else's path after all, and there is still a certain difference between it and something entirely your own.

Mihawk changed his moves, and the black knife [Ye], which was longer than himself, was in his hand. Not only did it not affect his actions, but it also improved his attack level by an unknown amount. The blade flipped over, and the black knife [Ye]

First, he retreated, then suddenly made a sweep in mid-air, and cut across Allen's waist, as if he was going to cut him in half.

The long knife in Allen's hand suddenly made a downward movement, and the blade was directly in front of Mihawk's long knife.

The two knives collided together again, and this time they were indeed separated at the touch of a touch. There seemed to be no sound, and another move was used again.

The crowd standing on the outside and watching could not see their moves clearly at all. They could only see some movement when the two knives intersected.

Rosinandi and Smoker watched intently, not daring to blink their eyes for fear of missing the exciting part. Bucky was the only one who showed no interest in such a battle.

Bucky himself doesn't really like fighting, especially fights between swordsmen.

Uncle Bucky is not bragging. Since he ate this Devil Fruit, he can proudly say to all the swordsmen that your slashes are not even qualified to hurt a hair on my head.

Bucky had already verified this on Roger's ship. Even the swords in the hands of Captain Roger and Mr. Reilly could not cut him, and Bucky ignored other swordsmen.

Of course, this does not mean that Bucky can beat others. After all, although he is not afraid of slashing, he still cannot defend against blunt blows. But this cannot stop Bucky's contempt when facing the swordsman——

What kind of swordsman is a swordsman if he can’t slash?

But slashing this thing will give you a chance, but you won’t be able to use it!

Just like the guy named Hawkeye and Brother Allen, even though the battle between the two looks very scary, a flying slash can kill many people, but it will never hurt Uncle Bucky.

The red-nosed man glanced at the two friends next to him with disdain, put his hands on his hips and said directly: That's it! That's it! Seeing how absorbed you are in watching, Uncle Bucky is standing here without moving, these two people

You can't hurt yourself.

Unfortunately, his action was just to show the blind man a wink. The two teenagers did not notice Bucky at all. Their minds were completely absorbed by the battle in front of them, and they could not be distracted at all.

Especially for Smoker, Rosinandi didn't have much obsession with strength due to his personality and past experiences. Smoker had determined to become a naval admiral since he was a child.

A naval admiral does not need to be capable of anything else. Only strength must be strong enough.

Smoge, who had studied kendo for a period of time with him, knew very well that he had no talent in this area. Even his talent in physical skills was not particularly outstanding, but he worked harder than everyone else, whether it was Luo Nannan or not.

Neither Di nor any other soldier could compare to him in terms of training, let alone Bucky.

In addition to unnecessary training, Bucky was lazy when he could, but when he couldn't, he would sometimes work hard during training.

This is also one of the reasons why Smoker and Bucky don't see eye to eye. Smoker feels that Bucky has talents and abilities, but has no idea about developing applications, which is a waste of natural resources.

Bucky received a lot of beatings because of Smoker's hard training, and he disliked this little brother in every aspect.

At this time, Smoker looked at the two people fighting with fascination. Although he still couldn't understand such an advanced battle between the two people, because the two people were too fast, many times he could only see black shadows.

, but this could not stop the longing in his heart at all.

He extremely hoped that the person who replaced Lieutenant General Allen would be himself, and that he would be so powerful that he could suppress him no matter whether the opponent was the King's Shichibukai or some other great pirate.

Little Bai Mao clenched his fists tightly together, and his veins popped out without him realizing it.

Bucky looked around for a while and found that no one cared about him. He finally focused on the field. At least he could watch the excitement. Such exciting scenes could not be seen in ordinary places.

Time passes little by little.

The sun in the sky, which was originally bright and high, gradually tilted towards the west, and the dazzling light began to soften. At this time, the situation in the field changed again.

At first, Allen found that going all out was a bit bullying, so he only used swordsmanship to fight Mihawk at first. After all, although he believed that a person's strength was not only based on swordsmanship, but also the Haki Fruit ability, etc., but if he could

It is also a good thing to further improve your swordsmanship.

It is also very simple to improve your swordsmanship. In addition to practicing every day, there is no other way to improve your understanding of swordsmanship by fighting with people of the same level.

Among the younger generation, there are not many people who can rival him in this aspect, and Mihawk in front of him is definitely one of them.

There were not many such opportunities. After Allen understood this, he was no longer eager to defeat Mihawk. After all, it was not difficult to defeat Hawkeye. But after defeating him, there would be no other benefits except a useless reputation improvement, so he might as well use it.

Mihawk's swordsmanship is used as nourishment for himself, so that his swordsmanship can become stronger.

This is called a win-win.

With this thought in mind, Allen's subsequent battles with Mihawk relied on the sword in his hand, instead of using the fruit's ability to bully others.

However, as time went by, Allen discovered that it seemed that the benefits he received were not as much as those of Hawkeye. He regarded others as experience babies, and conversely, he was also other people's experience babies.

Moreover, purely in terms of swordsmanship, his talent is not even a little bit inferior to that of Hawkeye.

Especially after Hawkeye became completely familiar with Allen's sword skills, Allen found that he seemed to be unable to suppress Mihawk with just his sword skills.

This made Allen's mentality somewhat unbalanced.

Feeling that he was not making much progress if he continued like this, Allen decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fight Mihawk with swordsmanship.

Ding~

The two knives collided again, and sparks flew. Allen did not continue to change his moves, but actually closed the knife and retreated.

Mihawk moved forward subconsciously.
