One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

But Abel knew that it was not an illusion.

Because his Shadow Sword Dance had been shattered by the opponent's single strike.

As expected of the world's greatest swordsman.

Abel showed no sign of defeat; on the contrary, he fought with even greater courage.

Breath of Darkness, Fifth Form: Soul-Devouring Black Flame!

Seeing that Mihawk had already created some distance, Abel did not recklessly chase after him, but instead began to use ranged attacks.

One after another, black fireballs flew towards the opponent.

If someone with trypophobia were to see this, they would probably have an attack on the spot.

Mihawk countered each move with equal skill, his massive black sword moving with incredible lightness, as if it weighed nothing at all.

A series of flying slashes shattered all the fireballs from a distance.

The falling black flames did not extinguish upon hitting the ground; they continued to burn fiercely.

Mihawk took one look at this scene and did not want to get involved in it at all.

While Mihawk was dealing with the fireballs, Abel had already injected a large amount of dark power into Onimaru and then forcefully shoved it into the ground.

Breath of Darkness: Land Form: Death Sword Tomb!

The previous move was just a cover; this move is the killing blow.

This is a raging fire from heaven and earth!

shhhhhh...

Endless dark sword energy erupted from the ground beneath Mihawk's feet, instantly engulfing him.

Can it be done?

Abel didn't know either, but it was highly likely that he wouldn't be able to defeat his opponent using only this method.

Without hesitation, he placed two fingers on his forehead.

After this period of regrouping, all the 'sword intent' has been restored.

If not now, when?!

A brilliant silver sword light shot into the sky!

boom!

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the ground.

Abel was right; the world's greatest swordsman couldn't possibly be so easy to defeat.

The endless dark sword energy did catch him off guard, but it only managed to tear his clothes.

When he cleaved the ground with a slash, disrupting the move, his expression immediately became even more serious.

He saw that the area formed by the three sword rings had trapped him inside.

He attempted to unleash a flying slash, but it vanished without a trace after hitting the edge.

This means that it would be extremely difficult to break through using violent means.

"A domain formed by sword intent?"

"I must say, I'm beginning to acknowledge your strength. Your name deserves to be remembered, Gustavus Abel!"

"Hawkeye" Mihawk said in a deep voice.

Chapter 329 The Final Strike!

"Infinite...One-Slash Slash!"

Abel suddenly vanished from his spot and teleported in front of Mihawk.

This isn't a description; it's real teleportation!

At that speed, even the already prepared Mihawk couldn't react in time and was struck in the chest by Abel's silver sword light.

Armament Haki failed to provide sufficient protection.

Because the sword light condensed with sword intent can, to a certain extent, ignore defense and can cause both physical and mental damage at the same time.

However, Hawkeye's will was strong enough that he was not greatly affected.

However, since this move is called "Infinite One-Slash Slash", it means that it will not only be a single slash.

In an instant, Abel became like a silver flash, flashing infinitely within the domain.

Hawkeye also had several more wounds on his body.

However, they are all considered superficial injuries.

Because 'Eagle Eye' protected all the vitals.

While teleportation is difficult to react to, if Abel's target is known from the beginning, then the defense will be much less stressful.

Almost the moment he took the first blow, Mihawk's eyes spotted the 'flaw' in the move.

And as Abel teleported more and more often, Mihawk's eyes became sharper and sharper.

Unbeknownst to him, an invisible circle extended out from beneath Mihawk's feet.

Then Mihawk suddenly gave up protecting his vital points and stood there with his whole body exposed.

Is this a case of "what's the use of trying"?

Another person might think the same way.

But that's the world's greatest swordsman!

Anyone who thinks like that must be brainless.

Abel was certainly intelligent, but he had no other choice.

Just like back then, even though Mihawk had already guessed that it might be a trap, he still made his move.

Because before you know what the other party is going to do, the best approach is to be firm in your decision to take action.

Abel made the same choice.

He didn't care whether the other party was bluffing, making a show of force, or trying to lure him into making a move.

If even the conviction to take action wavers, then defeat is inevitable!

cut!

Abel teleported over once more and thrust out his sword.

But the moment he appeared, Mihawk's knife also fell.

puff!

Abel's slash only pierced the opponent's shoulder, whereas the original aim was his heart.

At the same time, Mihawk's blade fell, nearly cleaving Abel in two diagonally!

A deep, long, and gruesome wound stretched from Abel's left shoulder down to his right hip.

Having suffered a severe injury, Abel coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked at 'Hawkeye' in confusion, asking, "How did you predict that I would appear in that location?"

"If this is the realm of swordsmanship you have comprehended, then my realm of swordsmanship is 'With me, there is no invincibility; every inch of ground will be slain!'"

"Anyone who appears within this 'circle' will trigger my automatic counterattack."

Upon hearing this explanation, a look of understanding flashed in Abel's eyes.

"So that's it..."

Simply put, it wasn't that Mihawk predicted his teleportation location, but rather that he had entered Mihawk's 'killing range'.

It's like having an automatic enemy-locking system installed; no matter how you break in, once you appear, you'll immediately be subjected to a barrage of fire.

It even has a bit of the guaranteed hit effect of the domain in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.

It may be much more complex than that.

poof...

Abel fell, and the sword domain shattered with him.

Mihawk had no intention of killing them all; he sheathed his sword and turned to leave.

One step, two steps...

Suddenly, Mihawk turned around, his face showing utter surprise.

What he thought was the end was not actually the end.

Because that kid stood up again.

That knife wound was clearly severe; if he hadn't received timely treatment, he would have died!

"Is it based on willpower?"

"How stupid!"

He couldn't win even when he wasn't injured, and now that he's seriously injured, he's still trying to be brave.

But what shocked Mihawk even more was yet to come.

Because he sensed that the boy's aura had not weakened despite his severe injuries, but instead had surged again!

How can this be? !

At this moment, Abel, who had activated his talent [Spirit of the Warrior] and unleashed 300% of his combat power, said, "As a return gift, I have one last strike."

"Okay, come on then!"

Mihawk drew his black sword again, but instead of attacking, he waited for Abel's next earth-shattering blow!

An endless aura of darkness erupted from Abel's body, and an enormous phantom of a six-armed Dark Demon God instantly materialized behind Abel.

That phantom image of a demon god made Mihawk feel threatened for the first time.
