Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Hawkeye said calmly, "I also honed my swordsmanship in battles with others, which is no different from your actions. As long as you can bear the consequences..."

"But you have the strength to back you up!"

Battle is the best teacher, so the other side's actions are understandable.

He has done this kind of thing before.

When I was weak, I challenged others to hone my swordsmanship; during this time, I sparred with Shanks to adjust my condition...

They are all the same situation.

He wouldn't feel offended.

This is one way to become stronger!

That's good.

Rocks nodded, then laughed and said, "Then let's continue. From now on, I will fight with the goal of defeating you. I'm taking your title as the world's greatest swordsman!"

"Come!"

Hawkeye smiled, his fighting spirit becoming even more intense!

"Elbaf Spear - Mighty Kingdom!"

"Slay!"

'Boom!'

A spiral shockwave from the left and a deep green slash from the right, one ferocious and the other sharp, collided violently under the watchful eyes of everyone in the arena!

An even more terrifying roar erupted!

'Swish!'

The two men charged at each other again, one from the left and one from the right.

'Boom!'

Seven Star Sword versus Black Blade Night, Armored Haki versus Armored Haki, Conqueror's Haki versus Conqueror's Haki.

Both of them unleashed their powerful attacks.

One person defends their position, while the other wants to take it away, and a fierce battle ensues.

Rocks' offensive was wide and sweeping, each attack was ferocious and domineering; Hawkeye's swordsmanship was as if it were a natural skill, even an ordinary sword strike contained sharp killing power.

The two swordsmen have completely different styles, with no clear winner or loser, and neither can predict who will win in advance!

The outcome will only be known in the final moments of the battle!

'Boom! Boom boom boom…'

The intense battle scenes were breathtaking.

The shattering and cleaving attack cut through the surrounding area, leaving a devastated landscape within a kilometer radius. The aftershocks raged and raged, making it impossible for anyone to approach easily.

The intensity of the battle was unprecedented.

Battles between great swordsmen are extremely dangerous.

Even the most advanced Observation Haki couldn't completely capture the attack, and both of them sustained injuries of varying degrees.

However, the two ignored their injuries and continued to fight fiercely.

Rocks, who changed his fighting style, is stronger than Hawkeye in terms of raw power.

However, Hawkeye's superb swordsmanship allowed him to hold his own against Rocks!

Ultimately...

Rocks was not a pure swordsman.

His most common fighting style is to use both swordsmanship and boxing techniques simultaneously, displaying his domineering and powerful nature to the fullest.

While his swordsmanship is not weak, it is still somewhat limited.

Rocks was unable to fully unleash his full potential.

Hawkeye is at the pinnacle of swordsmanship in this world; in terms of swordsmanship alone, he is slightly better than Rocks.

Each of them is stronger than the other in one aspect.

Therefore, a situation of evenly matched results occurred!

'Boom!!'

The next second, the black swords clashed in mid-air, and with a deafening roar, the attack, swirling with Conqueror's Haki, cracked the sky.

This clash was so powerful that both men, wielding swords, were sent flying by the force of each other's attacks.

They flew backwards, one to the left and one to the right.

'laugh!'

A bloody gash appeared on Lox's body for no apparent reason.

Even after blocking Hawkeye's slash, he was still struck by a slash formed from the sword's momentum.

Just like in the Sabaody Archipelago in the original work, Kizaru blocked Rayleigh's sword, but his cheek was still slashed by the great swordsman's sword force...

The slashes generated by this sword stance may not be as direct as those from a sword or knife, but they are more unpredictable and difficult to catch.

It also possesses the power to cut through iron, which even Hollow's passive ability "Steel Skin" cannot block!

'boom! '

Hawkeye's right leg stomped on the ground.

The ground behind him cracked, and the force dissipated, allowing him to stabilize himself, but his right hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

In terms of physique and strength, he was inferior to Rocks, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, and naturally fell into a disadvantageous position in a head-on clash of powerful attacks.

However, Hawkeye didn't think it was unfair.

There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world.

This sea has many "natural wonders".

Characters like Charlotte Linlin ("Big Mom") and Kaito ("The Beast") possess special physical attributes that make them inherently stronger than ordinary people.

Where can ordinary people go to seek justice?

Not to mention that Hawkeye himself is actually a "gifted genius," whose eyes can always see some subtle details and flaws.

In some ways, it is more effective than Observation Haki.

This is of great help in battle.

We can't stop Hawkeye from using his eyes to observe during battle, can we?

This is obviously impossible.

Moreover, swordsmanship encompasses everything.

Anyone who uses a sword, even if they have special abilities, can be called a swordsman.

If you are a swordsman, you can challenge for the title of "World's Greatest Swordsman".

The premise is to win with swordsmanship.

This is the key!

In this battle, Rocks relied on swordsmanship and kendo, and his opponent did not use any of his fist or foot techniques.

Those who know about Rocks are well aware of his fighting style; he doesn't actually unleash his full power by relying solely on swordsmanship and swordsmanship...

"That was so much fun!"

Rocks licked his lips.

He let the blood gush from his wounds without using "Super Regeneration" to heal.

As a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, Rocks already had a significant advantage, so naturally he wouldn't use his abilities to heal his injuries.

Even if there is no absolute fairness, Rocks did not want to defeat Hawkeye in this way.

Regardless of what others think, this is Rocks' own decision!

Hawkeye laughed, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit: "It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying battle. This exhilarating feeling... I almost forgot it..."

For the pinnacle of swordsmanship in this world, it has been a long time since I have had such a delightful battle with someone.

It should be said that since Shanks lost his arm, there are not many swordsmen in this world who are worth fighting with all his might.

This is also why he became interested when he learned of the emergence of a new generation of powerful swordsmen.

He's waiting for someone qualified to challenge him and defeat him to appear!

Now this person has appeared.

How could Hawkeye not be excited?

After a pause, Hawkeye looked at Rocks, who was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, and slowly said, "As an Awakened Zoan type, these injuries should be easy for you to recover from, right?"

"Don't hold back, I want you to go all out in this battle!"

"Using this ability in a swordsmanship contest would be a bit too much..."

Rocks explained briefly: "Aside from my injuries not having fully healed, this is all the skill I possess in swordsmanship!"

"I didn't hold back at all!"

"Hahaha!"

Eagle Eyes laughed loudly, then said nothing more, his gaze sharpening: "Then so be it!"

"But I will not be defeated. It won't be so easy for you to take my title as the 'World's Greatest Swordsman'!"

"Slay!"

*Sizzle!*

With a single swift stroke of his sword, Eagle Eyes fell.

A deep green slash tore through the air, slicing along the ravaged ground as it hurtled towards Rocks!

'Boom!'

Rocks also swung his sword.

The two slashing attacks collided in mid-air, exploding with a deafening roar before simultaneously dissipating and shattering...

'Swish!'

The two moved in unison, attacking each other once again.

'Boom boom boom...'

Swords clashed, the two men locked in a fierce battle, the clanging of their swords echoing endlessly…

The people around them continued to stare intently.

Someone gasped, "This intense battle has been going on for almost half an hour, hasn't it? To maintain such a high level of intensity, these two are truly terrifying!"

Another person said, "This is the battle of the strong who stand at the top of the ocean!"

"It's completely impossible to tell who will emerge victorious..."

"Each has its strengths and weaknesses, which is why they are evenly matched!"

"This trip was totally worth it!"

One user, Haijiao, offered this opinion: "However, if this continues, Blackwing Daemon should win in the long run, as Zoan-type Devil Fruit users have an advantage in endurance and recovery!"

Someone agreed, saying, "Indeed, but the Blackwing Demon seems to be deliberately suppressing its regeneration, while it can't suppress its endurance..."

"Battles between great swordsmen don't last that long. Often, the moment someone makes a mistake, that's when the outcome is decided!"

This is where the swordsman's "lethality" is demonstrated.

As soon as a flaw is revealed, the outcome may be decided, and the battle will not drag on to the point of exhaustion!

On the Blackwing Demon Adventure Team's side, Nami looked nervous, waving her fists and cheering loudly: "Little Luo, come on, you will definitely win!"
