Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Monkey Fruit - Chimpanzee Form!

"Come on, Blackwing..."

Before the mad ape could finish speaking, everything went blurry, and Locke, who had been dozens of meters away, suddenly appeared in front of him...

The mad ape's pupils widened as a dark, lightning-stirring fist drew ever closer, leaving him unable to react or dodge, forced to watch helplessly...

'Boom!!'

Finally, all that was heard was a loud bang, followed by excruciating pain, as if countless bones inside the body had been shattered.

then……

That's it...

The mad ape's consciousness plunged into darkness...

But from the perspective of others, this is the scene—

The Blackwing Demon moved, arriving in front of the Mad Ape in the blink of an eye. With a fierce punch, the Mad Ape coughed up blood and was sent flying backward, finally crashing into a mountain...

One punch!

A powerful figure with a bounty of 763 million Berries was defeated just like that?

Even the Blackwing Archdeacon didn't use its abilities!

This is the power of the Fifth Emperor, "Black Winged Demon" Rocks!

If it weren't for the fact that it could kill with a single punch, perhaps it would truly be a case of being unworthy of its reputation?

Chapter 248 The Battle of Swordsmanship! A battle to determine the "World's Greatest Swordsman"!

Under the watchful eyes of many, Rocks and his companions have already set foot on the Broken Mountain.

By this time, a large number of people had gathered on the broken mountain.

Central position...

Someone else is challenging Hawkeye!

He was a thin man with sharp eyes.

Judging from the comments of others, he was also a famous swordsman on the high seas.

He once challenged Hawkeye, but lost and then remained silent for many years.

This is their first appearance in a long time!

This piqued Rocks' interest, but instead of interrupting, he watched from the sidelines as the two were about to engage in battle...

'Clang!'

The two charged at each other, their black blades clashing. Amidst the clash of metal, a powerful aura of lightning intertwined, and a shockwave spread outwards.

'Clang! Clang! Clang!'

The battle between the great swordsmen was without any probing; they went all out from the start. As the battle intensified, the sound of clashing metal gradually turned into a deafening roar.

This is the sound of a high-intensity, domineering collision!

The battle between the two was dazzling and breathtaking, but fraught with danger; a single misstep could lead to death...

Swordsmen are the most lethal class!

This means that battles between swordsmen cannot last as long as those between physically strong individuals...

The match lasted only about thirty minutes before a winner was decided...

*Sizzle!*

With a single swift strike of his sword, Hawkeye struck, and the great swordsman gushed blood, collapsing to the ground...

The gaunt man lay on the ground, his gaze fixed on Hawkeye, who had sheathed his sword. His eyes held confusion and defeat, and finally, he let out a long sigh: "I...I lost again..."

After years of honing his swordsmanship, he thought he could defeat Hawkeye.

As a result, the gap between them widened even further.

He lost even faster and more miserably than last time...

Hawkeye glanced at the other party and said calmly, "You flatter me!"

Having said that, Hawkeye didn't look at his opponent but instead turned his gaze to Rocks, a fighting spirit flashing in his eyes:

"Blackwing Demon, isn't it time to end that battle with me that was once evenly matched?"

'Swish, swish, swish...'

As soon as Hawkeye said this, the eyes of the vast majority of people in the arena turned to Rocks.

Hawkeye's actions undoubtedly confirmed many people's previous suspicions—this "Swordsmanship Competition" was organized by Hawkeye for the sake of Blackwing Daemon!

Lox laughed and said, "Why don't we wait until you've recovered your strength before we talk about it? There's no rush."

"Besides, my first mate also wants to challenge a powerful swordsman..."

At such a grand event, Kuina also wanted to practice with others.

Kuina stepped forward, her sharp gaze fixed on the white-bearded sailor who had also arrived, then settled on "Float" Vista:

"Mr. Vista, how about a fight?"

"Ok?"

Vista paused for a moment, then smiled gracefully: "Since Miss Kuina has this idea, I naturally will not refuse!"

Seeing this, one of the members of the evil Zuo E Zi Hai Tao F began to rise up.

"Oh, good luck, Vista! Don't let Kuina defeat you!"

"Hahaha, but it's normal to lose. After all, Kuina is the vice-captain of the Blackwing Demon Adventure Team, and her bounty is higher than yours!"

Some people cheered for Kuina: "Kuina, give Vista a good beating!"

After yesterday's banquet, Whitebeard's relationship with the members of the Blackwing Demon Adventure Group has become quite good, and they can joke around with each other now.

"you……"

Vista's face was somewhat dark, especially after Sachi's last words, which made his lips twitch.

Are they still teammates?

Who cheers for someone else?

Taking a deep breath, Vista composed himself and looked at the high-ponytail girl standing with her sword. He stepped forward, his eyes filled with fighting spirit: "Come on, Miss Kuina, let me see your swordsmanship!"

"it is good!"

Kuina remained as aloof and decisive as ever. After responding, she drew her Wado Ichimonji: "Please be careful, Mr. Vista!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kuina flashed out, her Armament Haki transforming Wado Ichimonji into a black sword, and slashed down fiercely: "Isshin-ryu: Fusaku!"

Vista's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he met the attack with his crossed swords: "Well done! Dual Sword Style: Falling Blossoms!"

'Boom!'

The three jet-black swords clashed together with a deafening roar. The shattered air currents transformed into sharp cutting blades, slicing through the surroundings with a hissing sound, leaving smooth grooves in the earth...

'Clang! Clang clang clang!!'

The two fought at close range, their movements swift and filled with a murderous aura.

However, everyone present was quite strong, and their Observation Haki was able to detect the two people's movements and moves.

They stared intently.

Kuina's swordsmanship style is known for its speed, precision, and lethality, taking speed, ruthlessness, and accuracy to the extreme.

Each strike was like a flash of light!

Vista's swordsmanship style is very gorgeous. He wields his twin swords so tightly that they are impenetrable, and his sword movements transform into flower petals.

Beautiful and gorgeous, yet with a strong sharp edge!

Judging from the battle footage alone, the two are evenly matched!

This fierce battle lasted for thirty minutes!

'Boom!'

Another clash of swords.

Amidst the deafening explosions, Kuina, physically weaker, was forced to retreat, but she seemed unfazed...

A sharp and deadly Conqueror's Haki emanated from Kuina, pressing down on Vista and impacting his mind...

"Conqueror's Haki!?"

The people around gasped in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Kuina, the "Quick Swordswoman," is also a user of Conqueror's Haki, and her skills are quite impressive.

The timing of the release was also impeccable.

Releasing it when you're forced back and your opponent is about to press their advantage will disrupt the rhythm of the battle!

"Isshin-ryu: Setsuna!"

Kuina knew that opportunity knocks but once.

With a 'clang', Wado Ichimonji was sheathed. Kuina lowered her body and pushed the Wado Ichimonji out with her thumb...

With a hissing sound, the sword and scabbard rubbed together, gathering momentum, and the drawn sword flashed with light in an instant.

A sword flashed like a beam of light, slashing across Chebyshta!

"Dual Sword Style: Blossom!"

Vista was not knocked unconscious by the Conqueror's Haki; he only dazed for a moment before regaining his senses.

Upon seeing the sharp sword coming at him, Vista did not choose to dodge.

Head-on clash!

The two black swords crossed, and Vista's sword aura transformed into a blooming flower, blossoming at the point where the swords crossed, colliding with Kuina's sword!

'Boom!'

The swords collided and exploded with a deafening roar.

After blocking Kuina's sword, Vista was about to strike again.

He knew the "weakness" of the sword strike, and by seizing that weakness, he could win in one fell swoop!

As the captain of the fifth division of Whitebeard's Pirates of the Caribbean, even if the opponent is the vice-captain of the Blackwing Demon Adventure Team, he will not admit defeat or allow himself to be defeated!

"This sword strike... um!?"

Just as he was about to unleash his power to deflect Kuina's sword and decide the outcome with a single strike, Vista sensed something was amiss.

A loud "clang".

Kuina flicked her sword wrist, a gentle force disrupting Vista's movements, while flowing Armor Haki restricted his actions...

In that instant, Vista seemed to be "locked" to the spot!

'Boom!'

Vista's expression changed slightly upon sensing something was wrong, and he quickly unleashed his Armament Haki.

The flowing Haki transformed into an invisible impact, breaking apart the other wave of Armament Haki that had formed "chains"...

"Extreme Moment!"

Just as Vista broke through Kuina's Armor Haki, which had transformed into "chains," Kuina spun around and unleashed an even stronger sword strike using centrifugal force!

"Dual Sword Style: Rose Dance!"

Faced with Kuina's fierce sword strike, Vista had no choice but to attack.

With twin swords in hand, Vista unleashed his strongest attack!

A clash of titans!

'Boom!!'
