One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

The weapon held in his right hand was now radiating not only surging Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, but also violent lightning.

The surging energy fluctuations were enough to make anyone's blood run cold.

"Are they getting serious?" Hawkeye flew out from the shattered earth, looking at Rorschach with a serious expression.

A trace of blood was already visible at the corner of his mouth. Rorschach's power was too strong. Even though he had used Armament Haki to block Rorschach's Haki attack, the dragon-like power emanating from Rorschach still caused damage to his internal organs.

An even sharper aura emanated from Hawkeye. He swung his sword upwards, his Conqueror's Haki crackling and tearing through a thousand meters of void. A massive slash, hundreds of meters long, flew out of the air from his longsword like a cascading aurora, slicing towards Rorschach.

"Boom!" A violent thunderclap roared on Rorschach's weapon, carrying a world-destroying pressure as it slashed down furiously towards Hawkeye.

"Two billion volts of Conqueror's Haki enveloping! Star Shatter!"

"boom!"

The two weapons clashed at a distance of more than ten meters, and the void between them collapsed. Countless jet-black lightning bolts collided and annihilated each other in the air, and an apocalyptic aura surged out like a storm, impacting in all directions.

Off the coast of Kraigana Island, the sea surged high into the sky with a thunderous roar, and the Redfords and the warship where Law was anchored were pushed backward by the violent impact.

The ground beneath Hawkeye and Rorschach's feet instantly churned and shattered, as if a magnitude 12 earthquake had occurred, or as if hundreds of explosive rocks had been detonated in an instant. The entire island's ground rolled and collapsed like waves, with fragments of rock flying into the sky with a rumble, only to be pulverized by the violent impact.

With a soft "poof," the thick, deep blue, imposing armor covering Luo Xia's body cracked open, and a line of blood burst from his body.

"As expected of the world's number one slash, Hawkeye, your attack is indeed sharp enough."

Luo Xia exclaimed in admiration and looked across at the other side.

Before him, the ruins of the castle on the site of the Kingdom of Sikel, along with a mountain behind it, had completely disappeared, transforming into a vast basin.

A ravine hundreds of meters deep appeared on the earth, and Eagle Eye, who was in the middle of it, was gritting his teeth, blood spurting out from between his teeth. He was blasted away by the terrifying lightning and flew thousands of meters away, almost falling into the sea.

On the shattered earth, Hawkeye plunged his black blade into the ground in front of him, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face extremely solemn as he looked at the person opposite him.

That's incredible!

Rorschach's strength far exceeded Hawkeye's expectations.

He had thought that Luo Xia would be much stronger than he was back in Reverse Mountain, but he never imagined that Luo Xia would be this much stronger.

At this moment, he felt the same way Enel had when he faced him before.

However, Hawkeye was not discouraged. His defeat in his fight with Rorschach only fueled his fighting spirit. He felt a long-lost surge of passion coursing through his veins, a feeling he hadn't experienced in over a decade.

This reminded Hawkeye of his experience after listening to Roger's speech in Loguetown, which led him to enter Paradise and the chaotic New World. He challenged many powerful enemies on the high seas, experiencing trials and tribulations, life-and-death battles, constantly challenging and breaking through his own limits in countless battles, and finally succeeding in becoming the world's greatest swordsman.

Draw your sword! Draw your sword! Draw your sword again!

His golden eyes were incredibly sharp. He gripped the black blade in both hands and slashed wildly forward, one slash after another. The sharp strikes shattered the void in front of him, like giant wind blades that disappeared into the swirling sand and dust in front of him, raining down on Luo Xia!

"Rorschach, you are indeed strong. I was right about you. I know you haven't used your full strength. Come on! Use all your power to fight me! Let me see your true strength!"

"Then, as you wish!"

"Boom!"

Thunder roared and strong winds blew.

The billowing dust was torn apart by a terrifyingly large hand, and a towering figure stepped out, his aura as powerful as a storm, reaching the heavens and sweeping across all directions.

Chapter 780 Defeating Hawkeye

"call!"

A fierce wind arose, stirring up billowing dust on the island, and a colossal figure, resembling a demon god, slowly emerged, revealing itself to everyone's view.

Its massive body, nearly ten meters tall, is covered with azure scales that look like they're made of the finest metal. Beneath the scales are muscles that undulate like hills, coiled like dragons and pythons.

Its thick, curved hooves gripped the earth as if rooted to the ground, giving it a sense of unwavering stability.

A ferocious dragon tail, more than ten meters long and covered with bone spurs, dragged on the ground, carving deep furrows into the hard ground with each gentle flick.

A pair of deep blue vertical pupils looked down at the eagle's eyes, exuding a majestic aura as imposing as a mountain.

Besides that, what is most eye-catching is the blood-red ribbons that slowly flutter behind this enormous figure.

A terrifying energy fluctuation emanated from the blood-red ribbon, sending shivers down one's spine and involuntarily instilling a sense of panic.

"What a terrifying aura! He truly resembles that monster Kaido. This guy is far too strong! Is he really only 18 years old? It's unbelievable. This terrifying presence makes it impossible to even muster the will to fight him."

The Red-Haired Pirates' expressions changed drastically when they saw Rorschach displaying the awakened form of Kirin.

Even from thousands of meters away, the terrifying aura emanating from the island alone was enough to make them feel as if a huge rock was pressing down on their hearts, creating a suffocating pressure.

They dared not imagine what it would be like if their positions were reversed with Hawkeye's, and they were the ones facing Rorschach head-on on the island.

Faced with such a terrifying Rorschach, even though they knew that Hawkeye possessed the world's best swordsmanship and was no weaker than Shanks, the Red-Haired Pirates were all uncertain and dared not think that Hawkeye could defeat Rorschach.

Being able to remain undefeated in the face of such a terrifying monster is already a huge success.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!" A storm of slashes flew from Hawkeye's longsword, enveloping Luo Xia from all sides, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Rorschach didn't intend to escape either.

Hawkeye is strong, but Rorschach knows he is stronger!

The title of "World's Greatest Swordsman" is an acknowledgment of Hawkeye's exceptional swordsmanship, but it does not mean that his overall strength is the best in the world.

A crackling burst of lightning erupted from Rorschach's imposing body.

"Boom!" Thick bolts of lightning shot through the air, mixed with deep blue Armament Haki, accurately striking the incoming aerial slashes, intercepting them, and annihilating them upon impact.

Rorschach's massive, mountain-like body shattered the ground, vanished in a flash of lightning, and Hawkeye disappeared at the same time.

next moment!

A loud, resounding explosion echoed through the sky.

Before the explosion had even subsided, another explosion rang out from the sky hundreds of meters away.

Then it came from further away, sometimes even over the sea.

No one could see Rorschach and Hawkeye. All they could see was that the ground where the sound came from had been blasted open by the violent energy, and the deep, bottomless cracks proved that someone was fighting on the island.

The reason why people cannot be seen is because the speed of the two combatants is so fast that they do not even leave a afterimage in their retinas.

"Clang clang clang clang clang!"

The explosions were continuous, like rain pattering on banana leaves, like a sudden storm.

The intense, rain-like collisions continued for over an hour, creating a sense of suffocating tension.

Suddenly!

A thick bolt of lightning flashed across an open space, like a great sun rising into the sky, expanding and exploding.

With a loud bang, a figure flew out diagonally and crashed into the ground, carving a trench hundreds of meters long.

It's Hawkeye!

He gritted his teeth, blood continuously gushing from his mouth, and several hideous wounds appeared on his body.

The Armament Haki on his body was blasted to smithereens, and his leather hat and trench coat were tattered.

Ahead of him, at the end of that ravine, the god-like Rorschach was also covered in crimson blood, which flowed down like a waterfall, staining his majestic body red.

Clearly, even the world's greatest swordsman's strike isn't so easy to take.

Krosha acted as if nothing was wrong, completely oblivious to the blood spurting from his body.

"2.4 billion discharges! Overload."

Thick bolts of lightning continuously erupted from his body, and black bone spurs began to protrude from his joints, ankles, and shoulder blades, causing his entire body to swell up significantly.

Lightning crackled within his deep blue vertical pupils, and his mouth twisted into a grin; in his awakened state, all the teeth inside had transformed into sharp fangs.

Rorschach smiled.

"Hahahaha, come on, Hawkeye! Not enough! Your slash isn't strong enough! Be stronger! Let's see if your slash can sever my head!"

Rorschach roared to the sky, a storm of Conqueror's Haki erupting from his massive body as he blasted towards Hawkeye.

Hawkeye was equally unyielding, unleashing a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki from his not-so-tall frame!

Two terrifying bursts of Conqueror's Haki clashed violently on Kraigana Island, shaking the earth and causing waves of seawater to surge and pile up in all directions.

The mere clash of Conqueror's Haki caused a considerable tsunami in the Paradise Sea.

This is a clash between the world's top powerhouses, a battle akin to a natural disaster, enough to easily shatter islands and destroy nations.

The saying that the strong can destroy the world is not an empty phrase.

Back then, Whitebeard was seen by the World Government as an ancient weapon, and they deeply feared him.

Even though they were old and frail, they still wanted to get rid of Whitebeard as soon as possible, lest things get complicated and Whitebeard suddenly go mad and use his Tremor-Tremor Fruit power to shatter the Red Line.

It's safe to say that even if Blackbeard hadn't captured Ace, the Marine Headquarters would definitely have taken action against the Whitebeard Pirates afterward. Whitebeard's death was inevitable; it wasn't because of Ace that he died, but because the World Government feared him and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

In this terrifying clash of Conqueror's Haki, the onlookers could clearly see that Hawkeye's Conqueror's Haki was weaker than Rorschach's, but the gap between the two was not insurmountable.

Rorschach's Conqueror's Haki is heavy and majestic, like the sky collapsing, oppressing everyone's mind, while Hawkeye's Conqueror's Haki is like fighting against heaven and earth, as if it wants to tear the sky apart and cleave the sea.

"Boom!" Another earth-shattering explosion rang out. After a brief clash of Conqueror's Haki, the two figures disappeared from their original positions again, charging towards each other.

This was an evenly matched battle. Both fighters were eager to fight each other, so they did not back down and took the initiative to attack, unleashing their most powerful moves at each other.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

The ferocious attacks, each strike capable of shattering the earth and blasting through the void, made it practically a human-shaped destructive cannon.

From the moment the two began fighting until now, only two hours have passed, yet the island of Kraigana has become shattered, as if it had been bombarded for ten days and ten nights by ten or even a hundred times the firepower of the Buster Call.

"Twenty-four billion volts of 'Burning Entanglement'! God Burial!" Amidst the continuous collisions, Luo Xia's earth-shattering roar resounded.

The next moment, a magnificent slash flashed by, cleaving the entire island in two from east to west. Seawater poured in from outside the island, merging into the abyss-like crack.

"The ultimate technique of One-Sword Style! A Thousand Strikes in an Instant! Stardust Slash!"

Hawkeye's voice also came from the constantly trembling island. The next moment, countless slashes erupted from his hands, cutting the earth into countless holes, sweeping towards Rorschach like a hurricane.

In the next instant, Rorschach's deep blue, imposing armor was ripped open, and grotesque, crisscrossing wounds burst forth across his body. His hard scales were shattered, his skin was cut open, and his muscles were torn apart.

Hawkeye's Conqueror's Haki slash is arguably the world's strongest slash, almost identical to Whitebeard's attack on him on the battlefield of Marineford. It can easily break through his defenses and leave Rorschach with an irreparable permanent scar.

However, that's just how it is.

With a series of clanging sounds, Hawkeye's slashes were all blocked when they hit the bones encased in Rorschach's muscles.
