Grand Line Tegushi

Carl decided to travel around the world, looking for opportunities to improve his strength. He came to a place called Port Town, which is a very prosperous city and a place frequented by pirates and Marines.

Here, Carl got a message that Mihawk, the strongest swordsman in the world, is on a nearby island. Mihawk is a legendary figure, his level of swordsmanship has reached unparalleled heights, and he can easily cut through anything. His strength even surpassed some of Marine's top generals.

Carl decided to go to the island to challenge Mihawk in order to improve his strength. He came to the island and soon found Mihawk's residence. Mihawk is practicing swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship is so superb that he can easily cut through stones and trees with each slash.

"Master Mihawk, I'm here to challenge you." Carl said loudly~.

"Oh, here comes a new challenger." Mihawk raised his head and looked at Carl, "Who are you? Why are you challenging me?"

"My name is Carl, and I'm a pirate." Carl replied, "I heard that you are the strongest swordsman in the world. I want to learn from you and improve my own strength."

"Hahaha, you are very brave." Mihawk said with a big smile, "Since you are here to challenge me, I will give you a chance. Let's have a fierce sword fight.

Carl nodded and drew his sword. Mihawk also drew his great sword, and the two began a fierce swordsmanship duel.

Mihawk's swordsmanship is very sharp, every slash makes Carl feel an unbearable pressure. He feels that his sword skills and strength are not enough in front of Mihawk, but he also knows that only by constantly challenging himself can he become stronger.

Carl exerted his strongest strength, trying to resist Mihawk's attack. He jumped to avoid, moved to attack, trying to find the opening of Mihawk. However, Mihawk's swordsmanship is too superb, and Carl can't find a chance at all.

"Sorry, Carl, you're not strong enough," Mihawk said, "You need more training and exercise.

"I know! I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

Carl knew that Mihawk was telling the truth, he didn't give up and continued to do his best.

...asking for flowers...

He constantly uses his superpowers to send out powerful shock waves, trying to shock Mihawk back. However, Mihawk's swordsmanship is too powerful, and he can easily defeat Carl's attack with his own sword energy.

"Boom—"

The swordsmanship of the two are intertwined, just like the intersection of fire and ice. Every attack is full of destructive power, which makes the whole island tremble.

************

Carl felt his breath becoming more and more short, and his body began to feel tired. He knows that he has reached the limit, but he is unwilling to give up, because he knows that only by overcoming difficulties can he become stronger.

Suddenly, Carl found a flaw in Mihawk, he immediately seized the opportunity and launched a deadly attack. His sword pierced the air and pointed at Mihawk's chest.

However, Mihawk didn't move, just waved his giant sword and easily blocked Carl's attack. He had a contemptuous smile on his face, as if mocking Carl's incompetence

"You still need more practice before you can compete with me." Mihawk said, "Now, let me show you the real swordsmanship."
