A winter island in New World, on an unnamed snowy peak.

It is not really a snow peak, because the size of the island determines that it cannot support too high a mountain at all.

Most of the hills here are continuous, no more than 100 meters high, and you can stand on your own if you can have a few hundred meters high, and you can see the mountains at a glance.

The place in front of me is an inconspicuous part of the entire island, but it is the most snowy place on the entire island, and even if Shanks and his gang have occupied it long enough, they have never set foot here.

The wind and snow never stop here, and there is no vegetation on the hills at all.

In such snowy weather, even hardy trees will not survive here.

Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow.

Looking at the past, there is a snow-white blank as far as the eye can see.

No.

There was also a cluster of fiery red in sight, which was the red hair from Shanks, which was unusually conspicuous in the snow-white.

He was wearing a black shawl, under which was a half-breasted floral shirt, floral seven-point trousers, and a pair of sandals on his feet.

It's a fairy-like match!

At least Mosen is powerless to complain, and the dress in this world is really the most pleasing to the eyes of the navy.

Compared to Shanks, Mawson's outfit is much more formal.

The Navy Justice Daqi was floating in the wind and snow, and a light white suit was almost mixed with the wind and snow.

But the strange thing is that the wind and snow slipped past him, and there was no trace of meaning falling on him.

The wind and snow are urgent, and the feathers are not added.

This is to make a movie or something, there is no need for special effects at all, and the installation effect is simply max level.

Shanks' Western sword is on his right side, which is even more opposite to Mawson.

There is no specific way to say this, everyone has different shooting habits and the position of the scabbard is also different.

Anyway, what's right for you is the best.

The wind blows more and more urgently.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

Mawson looked at Shanks, his expression became indifferent, and a fierce aura was hidden in him.

Well, that's right.

It's the smell of the beep!

"You're here!" Mawson spoke.

“……”

"You shouldn't have come!"

“……”

"But you're here anyway!"

"I mean, you bastard boy, do you want to fight? What are you talking to yourself? The redhead was a little melancholy.

What's more, it's very cold here, do you know it's light!

When did you still talk about those useless things?

"Ahem......" Mo Sen froze, "It's not that the scene in front of you is too suitable for this line, don't you think?" ”

Hey, Shanks, you're fallen.

In this situation, if you don't improve your style before the battle, and pretend to beep well, what's the difference between that and salted fish!

What about the good generation of beep kings?

"It doesn't feel that way." Shanks choked.

That's the essence of the line you can't get!

Forget it, it's still important to fight.

After all, it was the flag he once set, and he had to pay for the beep he once installed anyway.

Mawson looked stunned and reminded: "Then I'm on, Shanks!" ”

The ice under his feet exploded, and countless ice chips and snowflakes flew in all directions, just by listening to the sound of breaking through the air, you could know that these broken ice chips were enough to kill ordinary people.

Before that, the figure that was still standing just now had disappeared.

EQ Flash ...... Phew, the right one should be

【Back to Basics. Crescent]

[Flash]

The inspiration for this move is naturally one of the mysteries of happiness, EQ flash.

However, this was slightly modified by Mawson, and flashed in front of the opponent at the same time when he used the sword move Crescent.

This will make the attack more sudden, and you will be able to dodge or block even if you have seen it.

But this will undoubtedly increase one's own physical exertion, and it will increase the consumption of physical strength a lot.

After all, to maintain such an operation, the comprehensive requirements for the body's nervous system, muscle coordination, power skills, and fruit ability control have all been raised to the point of horror.

However, having strength is capricious, and this kind of operation of the Moson fruit ability is not awakened, and the ability cannot be attached to the whole body and weapons, and it cannot be done at all before.

Even if it was made, the practicality was not as good as the sword technique he flashed first.

Abbreviations are useless!

Of course

There was no case of a blow blowing to pick Shanks up.

It's not that Mo Sen can't blow the wind, but sometimes it depends on the actual situation, and for him now, it is also a very simple thing to use the knife technique to cut out the tornado, but the strength and power of such an attack are far lower than the bonus of speed and knife skills.

Mawson surprises Shanks as soon as he makes a move!

However, if this can cause damage to Shanks, it is too underestimating the strength of the youngest Four Emperors.

As the only Shanks among the Four Emperors who has no fruit ability, his understanding of sword skills and domineering can be called the top person in the world.

In terms of talent, Shanks is also the apex of the pyramid in this world.

You know, Shanks was only 27 or 8 years old when he first became known as the Four Emperors in this world.

Even now Shanks is only 35 years old, and such a guy has been standing at the top of this world for 7 or 8 years.

How can such a person be simple?

Mawson's knife is fast, but it's not just speed that determines victory.

Otherwise, you don't have to fight, it's just better than speed.

In fact, when Mawson was about to move, Shanks's eyes covered by red hair narrowed slightly, and all the snowflakes around him shattered into powder-like ice crystals, blowing and spreading around, an invisible wave filled the space of hundreds of meters around him, and even the sky seemed to crack open.

It was at that time that he went straight to the knife.

Mawson appears, and his attack hits the long knife [Griffin] in Shanks' hand.

The air became distorted, and the snowflakes that were already scattered were even more impacted at this time, like a crazy spread around them, and within the range of the two of them, ripples could be seen in the distance, and all the wind and snow that were touched disappeared.

The ice beneath Shanks and Mawson shattered, and the sound of the collision even caused an avalanche on a nearby hill.

"Well, this knife is much stronger than the greeting you just met, not bad, boy." Shanks' red hair was blown back, revealing his cyan stubble visibility.

"Well, I'm not the same person I used to be, and you'll regret it if you underestimate me." Mawson smiled.

"I don't dare to underestimate it...... Insidious bastard kid. ”

Shanks was about to say a few more words, but Mawson had already drawn his knife, and the old demon in his hand cut diagonally at Shanks's waist on the left side.

Although his mouth was a little angry, Shanks's movements were not slow.

At the very least, Mawson couldn't break through his block.

"Hey, try my trick, Mawson boy."

The [Griffin] in Shanks' hand shook away Mawson's old demon, and the long knife arced in the air, slashing at Mawson's chest in the air.

It was covered with a transparent armament-colored domineering, and its strength was obviously higher than that in Mawson's hand.

Cough...... It's actually a lot higher.

Even more striking than this was Shanks's knife skills, the air was inexplicably changed by his long knife, and it looked like a layered flower.

And such a flower contains a deadly danger.

【Rose】

There is a tiger in the heart, smell the rose!

Maybe it's a guy like Shanks.

However, Mo Sen Ling Ran was not afraid, his domineering spirit was not so strong, and his sword skills were a little worse.

But it doesn't matter.

He's strong at all the abilities combined.

【Back to Basics. Cracked Void. No Month】

There was no light, and he couldn't even feel any fluctuations, and the old demon in Mosen's hand was covered by the awakened fruit ability, plus the enhancement of the armed color.

Silently, without a hint of fireworks, it intersected with the unusually beautiful and dangerous looking rose.

A little white light appeared, followed by two rapidly retreating figures, one white and one black.

To be precise, the speed of the white figure exited almost in a flash, and the speed of the black figure with red hair Shanks was obviously much worse.

The speed at which the two of them retreated was fast, and the speed at which the white light exploded was not slow.

This is the effect of the two's moves, and it is also the martyrdom that occurs after the air is completely squeezed by the two's sword technique.

The bright and dazzling light swept away the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky, and the ice on the hills under the light that had existed for an unknown number of years exploded.

The earth-shattering sound spread out in all directions, and the rumbling sound first came in all directions, and then from all directions.

It was a series of avalanches caused by the sound of violent explosions.

It was as if an earthquake had struck the entire island, and avalanches occurred one after another, causing the roar to be heard endlessly.

Fortunately, the height of the hill here is only 100 meters high, and the highest is only a few hundred meters.

And in the year-round cold winds, not all the peaks have snow on them, and most of them are even covered with ice.

Even so, the scene created by the two men's fight was nothing short of terrifying.

Fortunately, this is a deserted island with no people, otherwise I don't know how many people would have died just this time.

Mawson and Shanks looked at each other a little.

"Ahem...... I don't blame me for this, it's all because you had to go all out just now and it has nothing to do with me. Mawson was the first to speak.

Let's shake the pot first!

It's not my fault, it's none of my business, I didn't think about going all out just now.

You see, you're going to have to go all out now, and you're going to be like this.

In short, it's all your fault.

Obviously, none of them had fought in such a place, and they had no idea what the consequences would be if they fought with such a powerful force.

Not only them, but also Beckman and the others, who were originally watching the battle from a distance, and Drake were a little embarrassed.

There was also an avalanche on the hill they were on.

Fortunately, their strength to deal with such an avalanche is not a big problem, but everyone looks extremely embarrassed.

"Bastard, how dare you blame me? It's all you, kid, who have to fight, now you say what to do. Shanks once again refreshed his perception of Mawson's discipline.

"It's okay, it's like this anyway, let's continue, manly romance shouldn't be affected by these messy things, I haven't defeated you yet."

"Beat me? If I had to ask my Griffin if he would say yes. ”

Mawson didn't care about it, and directly dodged and slashed at Shanks.

Anyway, it's like this all around, then the jar is broken, can it be worse than this disaster movie-like serial group avalanche?

The huge sword qi cut through the sky and headed for Shanks.

Shanks fired back.

For a while, the local sword qi they were fighting was fluttering, and I don't know how many hills were cut off by the extremely sharp knife qi.

Ice chips are shattered, snow mist rises.

The area where the two fought was almost cut into a basin, and there was an unknown number of places where a few people could be buried in the ice and snow layer as soon as they landed.

At this time, Shanks and Mawson were both looking for opportunities and flaws in their opponents.

For them who are strong in sight and knowledge, a small flaw in the opponent can accurately seize the opportunity.

But obviously, neither of them would make such a mistake.

The battle continues.

I have to say that Mawson's growth in the past ten years can really be described as terrifying.

Ten years ago, he was like a weak baby in front of Shanks, unable to do even a trace of damage.

But now, he can come and go with Shanks, and I'm about to be evenly matched.

I don't know how long, maybe an hour, maybe longer, the two men stopped.

As expected, if they continue to fight like this, regardless of life and death, I don't know how many days and nights they will fight?

Even if life and death are divided, it is not possible to divide them in a moment.

Especially after Mo Sen's current fruit ability awakens, it is not too easy to defend against this kind of physical slash.

Shanks looked at Mawson with a strange look in his eyes, and he naturally knew the ability of slippery fruits.

But now in Mawson's hands, such a fruit is used by him superbly, and he said earlier. Lingling's fruit ability development is extremely powerful, and now it seems that this guy Mo Sen is not far behind.

"Mawson boy, even I have to admit that I have lost my eyes, when I first met you, I just thought that you would have a lot of achievements in the future, but I didn't expect you to subvert my imagination again and again, and now in a short period of time, you have grown to the level of being comparable to a general." Shanks sighed a little, such a guy's impact on the world is not just as simple as strength.

But it is undeniable that with such strength, there is no need to scruple about doing anything.

He saw two imps in the East China Sea, one of whom had grown to the point of the world's top combat power, and he didn't know if the other would end up as he thought at the beginning?

"Hey, Shanks, I'm embarrassed if you complimented me like that."

"No!" Shanks stepped forward, "I'm telling the truth, it's not a compliment, it looks like I'm going to have to take this fight seriously." ”

"Is it serious now, Shanks? It seems that you underestimated it before. Mawson smiled, looking a little odd.

Shanks shook his head, "No, I never underestimated you. I just didn't expect you to be a little more powerful than I thought, Mawson boy, be careful! ”

As Shanks's words fell, the space around him suddenly became frozen.

A formless and colorless aura came out of Shanks's body and spread around, and the wind and snow were blasted into the air like stones hitting the water, causing ripples in the air.

Mawson felt a breath lock on him, as if there was an invisible shackle on his body, and he couldn't break free.

"Overlord domineering?" Mawson's eyes brightened.

To this day, Mawson can also be said to have experienced a hundred battles.

Whether it was Karp at the beginning, or Kaido who invaded the headquarters later, or even Doflamingo and Hancock, they all had the domineering spirit of the overlord.

The overlord color of Big Mom, who just fought with him not long ago, is also very deep.

But none of these people put as much pressure on him as Shanks' domineering color, which felt like it didn't just have an effect on matter, but also on a deeper level.

It's just that Mawson wasn't sure what it was.

His power surged, and the snow, ice, and gravel around him began to change and form a smooth world, whatever it was.

It looks like an ice skating rink.

Shanks's momentum was still rising, as if it was endless, and the senses of Mowson, who was targeted by him alone, were further enhanced, and even he felt a little affected under such an overlord color.

The air seems to have become more viscous under this compression.

Swish!!

A flash of knife light appeared next to Shanks as if out of thin air, and Shanks, who had been standing still, finally moved.

It was as if the sun had broken through the thick clouds and appeared in mid-air, but the sun was tinged with orange, like the twilight of the day, and the nature brought by dusk was the end of everything.

Sword skills twilight!

Almost under the strength, Mawson has never been intimidated.

Although he could feel the strength and threat of this sword, he ......

If you haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work?

What's more, the breath is locked, and dodging is not a good choice.

【Back to Basics. Cracked Void. Elegy】

With the light like the evening sun, there seemed to be a murmuring voice whispering in the ears, and it was impossible to hear it or see it clearly.

The air was like a glass mirror that had been hit by something all at once, and countless cracks spread in all directions.

The orange light dissipated in the sky, and the boundless chanting fell silent.

The place where the battle was originally fought was like a black hole appeared, frantically annihilating everything around it.

And then

Bang Bang!

The eye cannot see, but hears.

……

After an unknown amount of time, only two figures crawled out of the unknown thickness of the snow.

A mountain seat that was originally tens of meters away from the original battle not only disappeared, but also appeared in a large pit dozens of meters deep.

The two figures that appeared looked a little embarrassed, most of the clothes on their bodies were broken, and their bodies were full of crisscrossing wounds, all of which were cut out by the other party with knives.

"Hahaha, Shanks, it turns out that your armed color can already cause damage to the human body, plus your overlord color, sure enough, the Four Emperors don't have a simple guy." There was still blood spilling from the corner of Mawson's mouth, and he didn't care.

Now he does seem to be a little far behind Shanks, the guys of the Four Emperors.

It's not that big, though.

At the very least, it will be difficult to tell the winner in a short period of time.

And

What he once said, at least now has come true.

"I won't lose to you next time we meet."

Yes, he didn't win, but he didn't lose either.

I don't know, compared to the general, what will it be like?

Shanks' black cloak didn't know where it flew, and he looked at Mawson, the wound on his chest was a little bloody and rolling, but he didn't care either.

It looks like he's a little more embarrassed, after all, he can't use his fruit ability to slide the snow away like Mawson.

His red hair was also a little wet from the melting snow and ice on his head.

Suddenly, Shanks grinned, and under the snowstorm, it was a little dazzling.

"You're very good, Mawson boy, there is a navy like you in this era, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for those pirates who go to sea."

"Who can say what will happen in the future."

"Hahaha, don't talk about the future, talk about the present. What you kid said at the beginning, you didn't break your promise! ”

Mawson also grinned: "That's, I'm the most handsome man in the world, and I never talk big!" ”

"Hahaha......"

Under the wind and snow, it was the hearty laughter of two embarrassed-looking guys.

Clear and pure!
