Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

Seeing this, the others stepped back slightly to give the two space to fight.

Just then, a ripple appeared on the sea surface.

The original sea level turned into a deck hundreds of meters in diameter. Chirabi stood on the deck in astonishment, while Mihawk's original ship had disappeared.

He carried a large black knife on his back, but did not use it. Instead, he took out a very short knife from his pocket.

The knife was drawn, startling Kirabi.

"Is this what you're using?"

"enough."

Upon hearing this, Killer Bee's lips twitched slightly. He looked down and saw that each of his ninja swords was longer than his opponent's, which seemed a bit like bullying.

But this was a dungeon after all, and Killer Bee didn't hold back. After letting out a scream, he charged straight at the arrogant guy in front of him, intending to kill him instantly.

The sound of the knife clashing with the three ninja swords sparked bright sparks that were reflected in Killer Bee's sunglasses.

Killer Bee immediately stepped back, his face changing from initial disdain and contempt to extreme caution.

His speed was incredibly fast, and the combined attack of three ninja swords was blocked in an instant by a small knife—it's simply unbelievable!

"Send your name."

Mihawk's gaze remained calm: "The world's strongest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk."

"Young man, what is your dream?"

Upon hearing this question, Killer Bee paused for a moment and began to think.

Mihawk would not launch a sneak attack at this time.

While Killer Bee was deep in thought, the others couldn't help but be surprised by the power Mihawk had just displayed.

Outside the arena formed by the deck.

"A single, instantaneous strike could actually block Teacher Bi's three-hit combo..." Samui bit his finger. "If it's just swordsmanship, none of us are as good as Teacher Bi."

“But didn’t he say that kunai are also acceptable?” Kurenai Yuhi whispered.

If she could use her Devil Fruit powers or illusions, she thought she could give it a try, but if she could only use kunai... then she had no choice but to give up.

At this point, Chirabi finished his thought process.

"I want to become a famous rapper?!"

Mihawk: ?

"Then why did you come to challenge me?"

Now it was Killer Bee's turn to be completely confused. Why do you ask so many questions...?

“That’s true, we have nothing to say.” Killer Bee remembered that the other party was not human, so he gripped the seven ninja swords again and walked straight forward.

In an instant, the seven ninja swords formed a hedgehog-like rapid attack on Killer Bee's body, with an extremely fast attack speed that was dazzling to behold.

However, for Mihawk, who possesses the skills of a hawk and a great swordsman, this kind of attack is nothing more than an unorthodox way of wielding a sword.

With a hiss, Mihawk severed Killer Bee's three ninja swords with his small dagger.

Killer Bee's pupils dilated, but he did not stop his attack and continued to swing his weapon.

"enough!"

The voice just fell.

The same unpleasant sound rang out again, and three more ninja swords broke apart, one of which flew into the air.

Killer Bee seized the opportunity, an eight-tailed octopus tail appeared behind him, he gripped the ninja sword in mid-air, and stabbed it at Mihawk's head.

Mihawk, his face dark with disappointment, appeared behind Killer Bee before Killer Bee could react, and sheathed his dagger.

puff.

Killer Bee wore an incredulous expression as his octopus tail and ninja sword were cleaved in two, and his tailed beast cloak was also slashed in the face.

"Compare!"

The slash was so fast that even the Eight-Tailed Gyūki couldn't react in time.

A ticking sound came from the floor. Killer Bee, enduring the excruciating pain, turned around and asked, "How did you do that?"

This scene shocked everyone present.

"Such a fast sword." As the strongest person present, Tsunade naturally saw Mihawk's movements clearly.

But she clearly only saw Mihawk 'ordinarily' swing his sword forward...

Mihawk turned around calmly. "You are not a qualified swordsman. Why did you come to participate in my trial and make a pointless sacrifice?"

"Trial?" Killer Bee clutched his chest wound, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes behind his sunglasses.

“That’s right, this is a trial.” Mihawk had no intention of holding back, gripping the black sword behind him and swinging it forward.

The green sword light was reflected in Killer Bee's sunglasses. The next second, a loud bang was heard, and an amazing shockwave erupted from the deck before dissipating.

Killer Bee lay on the deck, covered in blood, his body cleaved in two by the powerful sword energy.

"Teacher!" x3

"Kumakuya kid!"

"Ke suo!"

Everyone was horrified to see Killer Bee die so easily.

However, Mihawk, without any expression, addressed Killer Bee, who had appeared in the ocean using a Stand, saying, "Are you admitting defeat?"

Killer Bee, who was originally dead, turned into two halves of the Eight-Tails.

When the sound came over, the others realized that Killer Bee had used a Stand, and they all looked around.

At that moment, Killer Bee poked his head out of the sea outside the deck: "Didn't you say that any defensive method would work?"

“That’s true, but you failed the challenge. It’s time for the next person,” Mihawk responded, gesturing for the next challenger to come up on stage.

Before the crowd could even breathe a sigh of relief, a sense of oppression welled up in their hearts.

no...

This isn't a proper sword trial! It's clearly just stomping on noobs!

After a moment of thought, everyone felt discouraged.

The strongest swordsmen here have all been defeated; who else would dare to step forward?

Tsunade was afraid that she might accidentally use an attack that was not a sword, which would then be a survival mode beyond the Six Paths level.

The others exchanged glances, unsure of who to send out.

Seeing this, Chojuro felt it was time to put his skills to use.

"Let me, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, challenge him!"

The others breathed a slight sigh of relief when a challenger stepped onto the stage.

At that moment, Killer Bee suddenly spoke up: "Talk to him seriously."

Chojuro looked puzzled upon hearing this: "A conversation? Isn't he a dungeon creature? What's the point of a conversation?"

The others had similar thoughts and couldn't help but look at Killer Bee.

Killer Bee shook his head slightly: "This is a swordsman's trial. We are no match for him with swords. Rather than fighting head-on, we should find the answer to the challenge through dialogue."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly understood.

We're used to fighting and killing all the time, so this time it's all dialogue...that's quite novel!

Chojuro nodded and walked to the middle of the deck, officially becoming the challenger of the trial.

"name."

"Chōjūrō, the Hidden Mist Ninja."

"Your Dream?"

"To become the Sixth Mizukage!"

"Is it another dream that has nothing to do with swordsmen?" Mihawk's tone was full of disappointment.

Why is it always a group of people who aren't interested in swords who come to challenge him...?

Chojuro seemed to understand something, but Mihawk had already rushed forward with his dagger in hand.

With a hissing sound, the twin blades trembled slightly, and the force caused Chojuro's tiger's mouth to tremble and crack slightly.

'That was a lot of force!'

Before Chojuro could continue to hold on, Mihawk changed his attack, raising his dagger, ready to strike Chojuro's heart.

Chojuro, who reacted quickly using Observation Haki, immediately stepped back to avoid Mihawk's attack, and after regaining his footing, began to charge his twin swords:

"Floor, Liberation!"

"A charged attack? That's quite an idea." Mihawk also unleashed an aura unique to great swordsmen, his dagger enveloped in black fluid as he slashed at Chojuro.

Boom boom boom!

The collision of the two attacks generated an astonishing shockwave, and the air currents swept over, making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.

However, this situation only lasted for a few seconds. A body was seen flying in mid-air, and soon after, a thud was heard.

In an instant, blood stained the sea.

"Holy crap! So fast?" Omoi, with his dark skin and white hair, was startled and quickly jumped into the water to pull Chojuro out.

The others' lips twitched.

You just said you would carry on the name of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but you were gone in just two rounds?

"who is the next?"

Mihawk's voice still rang out; now only Samui, Omoi, and Karui remain who can fight with swords.

Omoi helped the heavily injured Chojuro up from the sea. Kurotsuchi thoughtfully used Earth Release to create a flat area for Chojuro to lie down. Tsunade treated and woke him up, and Konan used Paper Release to stop the bleeding from his wounds.

"Pfft." Chojuro spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with seawater.

"Ha...ha...I almost...I almost died."

If he hadn't had the quick thinking to use the impact of his dual swords to propel himself away from the ring, he probably wouldn't have just been smashed in the face by his own ninja sword, leaving a large gash in his chest.

"He seems... he seems to be going to pass on the sword... the way of the sword."

"Inheriting the way of the sword? How could it be so simple!" Tsunade looked incredulous.

"If it were just about passing on the way of the sword, would so many people have been killed?"

"Could it be because those people used non-sword methods?" Kurenai Yuhi stroked her chin, her tone strange.

Upon hearing this, everyone froze in place.

No way! Could that really be the reason?!

Then, Samui took the stage.

The other two also wanted to join in, but in terms of defensive measures, Samui's elemental transformation was more reliable.

"name."

"Samui."

"Your Dream?"

"To become a swordsman."

"...Although your intentions weren't very sincere, they were still much better than your previous messy dreams."

The rest of the people: ?

Mihawk ignored the stares of others and put away the knife.

Just when Samui thought the dungeon would be cleared so easily, Mihawk, showing no mercy, pulled out his signature sword—

The Supreme Grade Sword, the Black Blade!
