Chapter 167: Polusalino: I'm the World's No. 1 Swordsman? I am!
"This—what the hell—"
The surface of the sea has become a complete purgatory, littered with the debris of ships and, of course, human limbs. After the magma block of Sakasky fell, the sea water boiled directly. The pirates who were lucky enough to fall into the water and were not killed directly by the magma blocks that fell from the sky turned into boiled unlucky eggs, and only a few of them were lucky enough to escape the explosion and the heat, and managed to save their lives after struggling to get out of the sea.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! ”
Wilson lay on a piece of deck, gasping for air, his eyes full of horror and panic. The moment Sakasky struck, he completely gave up any resistance, directly lowered the lifeboat on the flagship, and jumped up.
His massive flagship was unexpectedly hit by a magma block and exploded, and the lifeboat, which had not had time to get away, was affected and turned into pieces in an instant. Wilson, who was a capable man, almost fell into the water and sent it directly, but fortunately, after the flagship was shattered, a deck floating on the sea was encountered by him, and he fled to it in a hurry.
"Is this the three natural monsters, walking humanoid natural disasters!!
It's over, it's all over, and although his life was saved, the pirate fleet that he had managed to accumulate was completely destroyed. Joining the Hundred Beast Pirates with his subordinates and joining the Hundred Beast Pirates alone are completely different things, the former may even be appointed as a pillar, while the latter would be rewarded with a high-ranking cadre.
"How can there be such unreasonable power! It's all Devil Fruits!! Damn!! ”
Wilson looked at the Navy warship in the distance with a resentful gaze and cursed.
However, the next moment, he couldn't help but freeze, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead - although he couldn't see clearly, he could feel a murderous aura on the opposite warship locking him. Can he be on that warship, separated by such a long distance, and intimidate him who lives in the New World with murderous aura alone, can he still be someone else?
"Vice Admiral of the Admiral, Magma Fruit Ability, Sakasky!"
Wilson looked around and found that there was no way to escape, and he couldn't help but look sad. Every word he said at this point felt like it was squeezing out of his throat.
……
At the same time, with the full efforts of Kuzanbab's engineers, the arena between Polusalino and Hawkeye was completed—with the island they were on as the center, the sea surface in a radius of tens of kilometers was frozen, and it became an excellent arena for fighting.
"Brush!"
The slash from the sky to the sky soared into the sky, and the gloomy clouds above the sky were directly cut through a huge gap, and the nearly ten-meter-thick ice surface created by Kuzan was also directly pierced.
"It's worthy of being specially named by Polusalino's seniors, this Mr. Hawkeye's swordsmanship is really exaggerated!"
In order not to interfere with the battle between the two, and in order not to be affected, Kuzan returned to the island after creating the ice field. The location of the island was still a little far away from the place where the two were fighting, but Hawkeye's sky-high slash was so amazing that he could clearly see it here.
"Awesome!"
With his hands in his pockets and a faint smile on his face, no one could tell that Hawkeye's unrivaled slash had just grazed past him no more than a centimeter.
"With this level of slashing, it won't be long before Mr. Hawkeye can point to the throne of the world's number one swordsman!"
"The word 'awesome' is a little too fake to say it from the mouth of the evasive and skilful Polusalino."
Hawkeye grinned, holding the knife in both hands and slashing three times in a row, without the slightest hint of timidity or hesitation.
With a slash from Hawkeye before, Polusalino could easily dodge it with only the body technique he had learned from practicing the Navy Six Style (by the way, he controlled the distance and pretended to be forced); But in the face of Hawkeye's three seemingly sparse slashes, which actually sealed all the angles he could dodge, Polusalino couldn't help but put away his thoughts of entertainment and activated the ability of the Shining Fruit.
"Mr. Mihawk, you-"
In the flickering of countless photons, Polusalino appeared in front of Hawkeye, and his long legs of nearly one meter eight kicked towards Hawkeye face door mercilessly.
"Have you ever been kicked by the speed of light?"
"When! Bang——!!! ”
With the beastly instincts of a swordsman and the strong physical control he had gained from nearly two decades of sword training, Hawkeye stabbed his long knife between Porusalino's glittering left foot and his face in the nick of time. Although he blocked Polusalino's light-speed kick at this critical moment, the huge impact of the light-speed kick still sent him straight into the ice.
Polusalino didn't expect his kick to finish Hawkeye once and for all - sure enough, in less than a second, Hawkeye, who had been knocked down ten meters of ice, was back on top of the ice.
Although he was wet and his expression was extremely serious, Hawkeye's battle intent did not decrease in the slightest, and his sharp eyes not only did not dodge in the slightest because he was restrained by a blow, but stared at Polusalino even more directly:
“…… What a speed! Even with my reflexes, I can barely keep up! ”
"It is worthy of being known as the fastest devil fruit, and it is naturally a shining fruit!"
"Where, Where, ......"
Hawkeye is not the kind of person who will grind for a long time with a single move, and after expressing his surprise and admiration, the long knife in his hand came out again, and the tornado-like spinning slash attacked Polusalino again.
"Speed—uh, misspoken line, laser!"
Countless sparkling photons converged on Porusalino's left foot again, and when it was full, a bright yellow laser burst out with a "biu" sound.
"Boom!"
The attacks of the two sides stalemate for less than a second, then spiraled and rose into the sky, and then dissipated directly.
At this time, Hawkeye also realized that his slash might not be of any benefit in front of Porusalino, a speed-type ranged monster, and after his mind turned in an instant, his feet violently rushed into front of Polusalino's body, and the long knife was already fiercely handed out.
Porusalino didn't dodge, but stretched out his right hand and slapped it at the blade.
"Buzz!"
The impact roared, and Hawkeye's long knife was directly swinged. His whole arm suddenly became numb, and Polusalino almost made him unable to hold the knife in his hand.
Breaking Hawkeye's attack wasn't Polusalino's purpose - just as the strongest defense was attacking, Polusalino's left hand was aimed at Hawkeye's throat with his index finger outstretched at the same time as Hawkeye's attack.
The photons flickered and converged, and in an instant, the deadly laser burst out again.
“biu!”
Hawkeye was obviously prepared, and there was no panicked look on his face, and the long knife that was swung away seemed to be alive, and it took the initiative to block again with incredible speed and angle.
"Hmm!"
Of course, the laser is not so easy to block, although the famous knife strengthened by the armed color domineering will not be pierced by Polusalino's laser, but the terrifying power still makes Hawkeye only feel as if his arm is about to be broken, and it is directly blasted out.
"The power is so terrifying! Worthy of Lieutenant General Polusalino! ”
"Take!"
Although the two active attacks were frustrated one after another, Hawkeye still did not say that he meant to stop. After unleashing a lateral slash that was even more powerful than before, his body burst out towards Porusalino again.
Seeing this, the corners of Polusalino's mouth were raised, and his hands were folded together and abruptly separated, and countless glittering fruit photons quickly converged between his palms into the shape of a long sword.
"This is the Heavenly Cloud Sword! I've come to learn the art of swordsmanship, Mr. Mihawk! ”
The laser slash from the Sky Cloud Sword met Hawkeye's slash, and Polusalino, who was holding the laser sword, also flew towards Hawkeye, who was holding a long knife.
……
"Ding-ding-ding!!"
In the middle of the ice, the continuous popping sound makes people's ears hurt. In just a few seconds, Polusalino's Sky Cloud Sword and Hawkeye's long knife collided more than a hundred times.
"I didn't expect Lieutenant General Polusalino to be a great swordsman! What an unexpected surprise! ”
When the two swords were fighting, Hawkeye couldn't hide the excitement and admiration in his heart. Although he likes to challenge all the strong people, the strong swordsman is his favorite opponent as a swordsman.
Polusalino is also very happy, although he usually likes to fly kites, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like fierce confrontations - that's the romance of all men.
"Hahahaha, swordsmanship or something, I think it's all false. Speed and strength are the true meaning that should be pursued! ”
"Well said!"
Not only is Hawkeye's evaluation of Pollusalino getting higher and higher, but Pollusalino is also evaluating Hawkeye in his heart: although it is still far from the point where he will reach the world's No. 1 swordsman in the future, Hawkeye should have no problem suppressing Kuzan now, and even a dozen with Sakaski.
Not to mention anything else, the big sword that didn't look light, but Hawkeye wielded it as if it were a toothpick. And even if he lifts weights lightly, he can still keep up with Polusalino himself in terms of strength and reaction speed - from this point of view, it is also very appropriate to say that Hawkeye is a monster.
"Dangdang
The sound of the clash of gold and iron became more and more intense, and the frequency was so high that even the momentum of an ordinary downpour was no more than that.
"Awesome! Terrible! Terrible! ”
Hawkeye became more and more excited, and the speed of the long knife in his hand became faster and stronger. In this kind of high-intensity battle that will be separated by a fraction of a second, he not only did not have the slightest fatigue, but also seemed to be possessed by the protagonist's aura, and he was gradually breaking through himself.
If he played for a few more minutes, Hawkeye might have moved up a rank, but Polusalino wouldn't give him that chance - after a few minutes of excitement, he was a bit of a sign of entering Sage Mode and began to prepare for a move.
"Dang!"
After another battle, Polusalino jerked back. Seeing this, Hawkeye, who was hitting Xing's head, couldn't help but forcibly stop his attack, and his brows furrowed:
"Lieutenant General Polusalino, you're ......"
"It's going to be boring to fight like this, and the ice around us is about to be completely destroyed by the two of us. Mr. Hawkeye, why don't we decide the winner with one move? ”
Polusalino laughed.
"Yes!"
Hawkeye nodded in agreement, as the best swordsman at slashing, in his opinion, he would never lose if one move decided the victory.
"Then it's decided, one move to decide the winner! Don't blame me for not reminding you, Mr. Hawkeye, my next move, though it's a sword move, might be a bit powerful...... Why don't you run 399 meters first? ”
"No, no matter what sword moves, just come!"
The innocent Hawkeye didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at this time, and grinned, "Let's compare whose sword moves are more powerful!" ”
……
"Ahh!!h
The heart-rending scream, Wilson never felt that anyone could make such a scream - even the middle-aged fisherman who had been pierced through his body with thousands of porcupine needles before was only seventy or eighty percent of such a scream.
His screams even made the surrounding sea seem to ripple slightly.
But this is not to blame him, I really can't blame him, anyone who faces such a situation will probably only scream, and can only scream.
- Caught up by Sakasky, he wanted to resist, but he didn't have any chance at all. After a simple battle between the two moves, Sakasky's magma-shaped arm pierced his chest directly, and all his internal organs were burned in an instant. A large amount of blood was directly evaporated without even having a chance to flow out, and a magma fist as big as a cannonball stretched out from his back.
In his confusion, Wilson heard the demon named Sakasky say:
“…… It's really boring. ”
……
For the most orthodox swordsman Hawkeye, his most powerful move is actually the simplest sword drawing and slashing - after entering the state of human and sword unity, he will volatilize all his domineering, sword intent, and physical strength to the limit. Ditch all the bells and whistles, make the most direct slash, and then slash the enemy.
Sensing the stronger and stronger aura on Hawkeye's body, Polusalino smiled slightly, and did not make any movement.
Hawkeye didn't stop or slow down his movements because of Polusalino's reaction, and in his opinion, Polusalino, who didn't move with his hands around him, was also preparing his strongest move, just like himself.
Finally, the aura on Hawkeye's body was enhanced to the extreme, and the long knife covered with the domineering aura of the armed color in his hand also became completely different from before - that's right, it became the world's strongest black knife that he was famous in the whole world in the later life.
"Lieutenant General Polusalino, please see my strongest blow!"
Hawkeye slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.
"Black Knife - Flashing !!"
With a loud shout, the cyan slash that made the whole world lose color suddenly appeared, even with the monster-like reaction of Polusalino, when he reacted, this slash had already reached less than five centimeters from the tip of his nose.
(It's really Hawkeye's strongest blow, unrivaled power, unrivaled speed, just a knife, you can cut the enemy in an instant...... It's a pity...... )
"God time!"
With this move, the world in Polusalino's eyes seemed to press the pause button. Whether it's Hawkeye's incomprehensible slash or the breeze in the sky, it's as if it's still.
But he knew that it wasn't static, it was a thousandfold slowdown.
"It's a greatsword of light, but what does it look like...... Well...... It's embarrassing......"
"Is it the Xuanyuan Sword full of feelings? Or the sword in the hands of the mysterious four Onoah? Or is it a golden sword? ”
"Alas, no matter what, just come!"
……
In Hawkeye's eyes, when his strongest blow was launched, Polusalino did not react, which meant that the latter was defeated. The slash beyond human comprehension, although it was launched by himself, he could not dodge or resist it himself.
(It seems that this fight is me...... Is that......?!! )
In the eyes of the eagle's eye, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of Porusalino's body, and the light directly blocked his cyan slash, dyeing the cyan slash that had originally robbed the brilliance of heaven and earth into gold!
Then, the light grew bigger and brighter—and before Hawkeye could fully react, it had already reached the limit of his vision!
Hawkeye finally saw the light as it was now—it was clearly an unbelievably large golden greatsword, but the shape was unusually simple!
(What kind of sword is this?!) How can there be such a sword?! Better...... Lots of golden ...... )
Hawkeye's whole body was completely unconscious, the long knife in his hand fell to the ground, and blood spilled from his mouth—but the golden greatsword was still in the air, still a considerable distance away from him.
Seeing Hawkeye like this, Polusalino smiled slightly. Completely different from the huge appearance, the golden greatsword disappeared into thin air, and not even a photon was left, as if it had never appeared.
Hawkeye, who fell to the ground on his back, breathed heavily, and his voice was bitter:
“…… What is that? ”
"The sword of Damocles, the ultimate in kendo as I understand it,"
Polusalino laughed, "Or you could call it the 'Greatsword of Light that never wields'......"
“…… I don't swing it, but I can make people give up resistance, and just appearing declares my defeat...... Is this the ultimate of kendo......"
(No, it's just my mouth...... )
"You can understand it that way, but this is my kendo, maybe it's not for you."
“…… Teachable! ”
Hawkeye struggled to squeeze out a smile, "What else are the procedures for His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas?" I'll do it when I recover. ”
"Go to the Chambord Islands, someone will contact you when you get there."
"Good! …… I hope to have a chance to play against each other in the future! ”
Polusalino smiled: "When your swordsmanship cultivation is higher, come to me again, I don't want to subdue you with one move...... By the way, introduce you to a swordsman with great potential, and you may be able to improve yourself by playing with him. ”
"Please!"
"This person's name is Shanks, and he is nicknamed Redhead, and he has been practicing for a long time in the Roger Pirates...... Years of trainees. At a young age, he has already shown superior strength, and his swordsmanship cultivation is very high. He rushed into the great voyage from the East China Sea and had not yet entered the New World. ”
“…… Shanks, I see. ”
……
"Whether it's the 'Sand Crocodile' Klockdale in the past, or the 'Hawkeye' Mihawk today, they are all the younger generation of pirates who watched the execution of One Piece in Rogue Town......"
The Fish sailed silently on the surface of the sea, while Kuzan said so as he stepped out of the cabin. He also carried a tray with two cups of drinks with straws in them.
Just like the future Straw Hats' color chef Sanji, Miss Jessica, the head chef on the "Touching Fish", is not only good at all kinds of dishes, but also has a lot of experience in dessert drinks - these two cups of "delicious QQ Nai Nai Ba Pu Fruit Tea" are what she just made.
"So you're not going to tell me that our next third target is also a young pirate, right? Polusalino seniors. ”
Although he was on a recruitment mission with Polusalino for the Seven Warrior Seas, to be honest, Kuzan didn't know the exact list of people - he was just like the web writers in the world before Polusalino traveled, and only knew the plot a little bit before the readers.
"Thank you~"
Lying on the recliner basking in the sun, Polusalino reached out to take the drink handed over by Kuzan and took a sip, "You know what? Kuzan, our world government must pay attention to a balanced ...... in everything we do."
“…… So? ”
"The seven candidates of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty cannot be pure human races, otherwise there will be suspicion of racial discrimination; It can't be a purely male pirate, otherwise there will be a suspicion of discrimination against women; In the same way, it can't be all young people, otherwise it's not only easy to make people feel disrespectful to old guys, but also not very reliable......"
"I think you're disrespectful enough old fellow, Polusalino Senpai,"
Kuzan tugged at the corners of his mouth speechlessly, "And deliberately doing this, it seems really disrespectful......"
"Well~Oh, by the way, help me chill it, I like to drink ice~"
Polusalino expertly handed the remaining half of the drink to Kuzan.
“…… So you still didn't say who the third person was. ”
Kuzan sighed, giving up his struggles and activating his fruit abilities, chilling Polusalino's drink to the perfect temperature for drinking.
"The problem is that you don't know him, but that's a real old guy...... The Red Earl locked up in the city is considered to be old among pirates, right? But even if he is the Red Earl, he is still the little brother in front of others......"
"Hey, really?"
"Of course it's fake~"
"I'll just say—"
"The Red Earl is not qualified to be a little brother to others, after all, he only chose to go to sea to be a pirate because he longed for the other party...... Is it probably the relationship between idols and fans? ”
“…… What kind of monster is this! ”
