The two of them collided repeatedly, and Mihawk's breathing gradually fluctuated, and his body kept retreating.

The war continues.

Until the last moment, no one could tell who of the two would take first place in swordsmanship.

"Will the title of the world's greatest swordsman change hands today?"

Bucky muttered.

Kuina's eyes were shocked, and she was also confused: "Do I have to defeat my teacher in the future?"

She was obviously more reluctant to face her teacher than Mihawk.

Having followed him for many years, Kuina already knew what kind of monster her teacher was. Wearing the seastone shackles for nearly ten years, not only did nothing happen, but her strength became stronger and stronger.

In fact, in her eyes, the teacher who had been fighting until this moment might not have even exerted his full strength.

After a moment, a strong wind blew over everyone's heads.

The two men in the field had their auras reaching their highest point, and the continuous fighting came to a halt.

"It's time to decide the winner!"

Rocinante said.

Suddenly, everyone became nervous and looked at the field with serious eyes.

Suddenly.

The dust on the ground jumped, and Mihawk disappeared instantly, holding the knife in both hands.

At the same time, the ground under Xia Le's feet collapsed and his body jumped up.

"Shh!"

A ripple spread in the void, and two figures passed each other.

The fight was quick and decisive, without any sound or trace, yet it contained a great deal of fear.

Because everyone was shocked to find that at this moment, everything they saw turned into black and white.

It was as if the world was cut diagonally, half black and half white, clearly divided.

The robe fluttered, and a few drops of bright red blood dripped down, dyeing the world in front of him with a touch of red, and also adding color to everyone's vision.

"Clap!"

Their feet landed almost at the same time, standing back to back.

Then, the sound of wind came, suddenly and violently, a circle of strong impact swept in all directions, the strong wind even made Tashigi scream, her thin body was blown up, and she screamed in panic.

Smoker was behind him. He caught it with a serious expression and placed it steadily on the ground.

The world gradually became colorful, the wind blew past, and everything calmed down again. The appearance of the two people in front became clear.

"Tick!"

Drops of blood dripped, and the sound echoed in everyone's heart.

"Teacher, are you hurt?"

Kuina said dully, her eyes narrowed to the extreme.

Crocodile exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes unclear.

But then, the other figure in front suddenly shook, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the front of his chest with a "puff".

"Mihawk lost?"

Bucky exclaimed.

But no one responded. Without seeing the exact situation of the two people on the field, they could not determine the final result of this competition.

"Hahahahaha!"

“The world is becoming more and more interesting!”

A loud laugh was heard and Xia Le slowly turned around.

When they saw his front clearly, everyone's pupils shrank again, and they saw an obvious and clear bloodstain on his chest.

But to me, this injury was just a scratch and not worth noting at all.

"Just talking about swordsmanship."

"How about we call it a draw?"

Xia Le said loudly.

He was actually very clear that in recent years, he had placed more emphasis on the training of physical skills, and had abandoned swordsmanship after following Roger for a period of time.

Although you have the ability to add points, you still have to rely on yourself in combat and application.

In kendo, he is indeed some distance away from being the best in the world.

"it is good!"

After a long time, a voice was heard.

Mihawk slowly turned around, and a bloody mark also appeared on his chest, with blood dripping from his body.

But in terms of condition, he was obviously not as good as Xia Le.

This blow has already caused him serious injuries, which will seriously affect the subsequent battle.

"It's just a sword fight. It's far from enough to bring out your full strength."

"You are indeed a legendary figure in the navy."

Mihawk sighed.

"Human life is so short. It is already extremely difficult for you to practice swordsmanship to the world's best level."

Xia Le smiled.

Mihawk was silent.

This sentence sounds like a compliment to him, but if you think about it carefully, it sounds like bragging.

But there are indeed not many men in the world who can master physical skills, swordsmanship, and fruit abilities to the extreme.

And the person in front of me may be the only one.

"I have benefited a lot from this battle!"

“Looking forward to the next competition!”

Mihawk said.

But as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed again.

Because, the bloody scar left by the knife had already scabbed and healed at this time.

It is chilling!

What a terrifying self-healing ability! Could it be that this guy has some other abilities in his body that I don’t know about?

Its strength is simply unimaginable.

"The world's greatest swordsman is worthy of his reputation!"

Xia Le also laughed.

Mihawk then turned and walked away.

This battle ended here.

When Xia Le carried Foxy onto the warship, Mihawk had already left Long Chain Island on the coffin ship.

Looking down at the bloody knife scar, his expression was serious and solemn. After simply applying medicine and wrapping it with a bandage, he slowly closed his eyes.

He was recalling every detail of the battle, as if he were experiencing it again.

"There is a gap in strength!"

"His observation Haki is very strong and completely suppressed me."

"There is also the domineering color entanglement."

"As expected of a legendary warrior on the same level as Whitebeard, his swordsmanship alone is so terrifying."

"If I fight with all my strength, I am no match for him!"

Opening his eyes, Mihawk's expression was extremely serious.

Slowly raised his head and gazed at the magnificent sea ahead.

“Is this the gap between me and the world’s number one?”

“It’s unexpectedly big!”

Then, his expression changed slightly again.

He raised his right hand and touched the bloodstain on his chest.

"It's been a long time since I've experienced this kind of sobering pain!"

"But it will inspire me to become stronger!"

Taking a deep breath, Mihawk's eyes lit up with a sharp look.

"Xia Le!"

"I will become stronger!"

"By then, I won't just be sparring with you about swordplay anymore!"

On the surface, the kendo competition ended in a draw, but he knew very well that he had already lost the battle.

A battle is never about just one side.

Chapter 217 Encounter on the Sea

On board the Sander.

Foxy slumped there with a look of despair on his face, like an ugly fox waiting.

He was very clear about his future fate. The navy man in front of him had already revealed his identity before, and he had learned the other party's exact identity not long ago.

Admiral of the Navy, Xia Le!

Once known as the legendary navy, it had the terrifying record of capturing the Pirate King Roger and defeating the Golden Lion Shiki.

But he had never heard of such a powerful man in the navy before.

This is not scientific at all!

Otherwise, the moment he saw the other party, he would not have given the order to shoot, but would have immediately knelt down to admit defeat and begged the other party to spare his life.

Everyone else on the boat ignored him and went about their own business.

Fisher Tiger steered the boat with both hands, humming a cheerful tune, and seemed to be in a very happy mood.

Next to them, Rosinante, Bucky, and Smoker were sitting cross-legged on the deck, frowning as they looked at the poker cards in their hands.

Doflamingo stood in front of Rosinante, staring at the cards in Rosinante's hand with a half-smile on his face.

The people in Baroque Studio, holding mops and rags in their hands, were cleaning the entire ship.

Daz Bonis was carrying a bucket of water, his expression changing, his eyes always fixed on the man sitting in the chair in front of him with his back leaning against him.

There were various emotions in his eyes that kept changing, including awe, excitement, and desire, and then a hint of hesitation and indecision emerged, as if he was making some difficult decision in his heart.

Crocodile blew out a puff of smoke and glanced at Daz Bonis. He seemed to see what was in his mind and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But he didn't say much.

Kuina and Tashigi were standing on both sides of Xia Le at this moment, carefully bandaging the wound on his chest.

"Faced with the world's greatest swordsman."

Xia Le had a smile on his face.

"How did this battle feel?"
