"It's Teacher Rifan!" Nami, who stopped because of the sudden light, raised her head and looked at the corner of the audience area.
Although it is far away, with Nami's current eyesight, Rifan can be clearly seen.
"Rifan?" Mihawk also looked in Rifan's direction, "Is Rifan the cause of the changes here, Nami?"
"Of course." Nami nodded proudly, "This venue is used for outer disciples' next challenge."
"Fighting here, the fluctuations in the center of the arena will never affect the audience area, let alone the place outside the arena."
"And since Teacher Rifan is here, I can't continue to delay the competition of the outer disciples."
"Hawkeye, are you really not going to take out your Zangetsu? I'm going to be serious this time."
As if to confirm her own words, Nami's aura suddenly strengthened, and the striking sword aura rushed towards Hawkeye.
"This is?" Hawkeye frowned. Under this sword aura, he clearly felt the aura he once felt in Rifan.
The next moment, the black sword he held in his hand began to tremble unconsciously, as if it wanted to get out of his hand.
Hawkeye quickly squeezed the black sword to avoid being sucked away by the suction from Nami's body.
"Ten thousand swords return to the sect?!" Mihawk frowned.
Sure enough, as he thought, a large number of swords made of sword aura began to appear beside Nami.
"Sure enough, Teacher Rifan and I are too far behind."
"There is no way to draw your weapon over."
Nami chuckled and shook her head.
"Get ready, Hawkeye, next, what you will face is an infinite sword!"
"I give you another piece of advice, draw out your strongest weapon."
After speaking, Nami waved forward, and in an instant, thousands of swords around her rushed towards Hawkeye.
"You deserve to be Rifan's disciple. You have been improving at a speed that ordinary people can't match."
Mihawk's eyes condensed and he thrust the black sword heavily into the ground, leaving only the handle of the sword to be stepped on by him.
Subsequently, Zangetsu appeared in Mihawk's hands.
"Tensa Zangetsu, Kuroi Getsuga!"[Tl/n: Tensa Zangetsu means Black Moon Fang in eng.]
The Black Moon Fang that had condensed all of Mihawk's power rushed towards the group of swords in front of him.
"How is it, are you satisfied, Mihawk?" Rifan said with a smile looking at Mihawk who walked to the audience stand with a silent face.
"Nami, she deserves to be your disciple." Mihawk shook his head, "I never thought that in Kendo, I would experience so many defeats."
With that, Mihawk also glanced at Nami behind Rifan, who was chatting with Carina.
"Don't mind, Hawkeye, Nami is Rifan's disciple after all. There is no way this can be done, hahaha." Shanks laughed and beckoned to Mihawk.
"Except for Rifan and Rifan's disciples, your kendo is still the strongest."
"The challenge is about to begin, let's take a look at this."
Hearing Shanks' voice, Mihawk glanced at him dumbly.
However, he did not refute his words, and silently walked to the empty seat to the side and sat down.
"Speaking of which, the three of us are here, why didn't that Kaido come?" Shanks looked around, "Linlin, do you know anything?"
Among the Four Emperors, although each has its own territory, Linlin and Kaido have more connections...
Seeing that Kaido was not here, not even any member of Beast Pirates was here, Shanks couldn't help but wonder.
What he didn't know was that, King who had originally planned to be sent to Dressrosa was also called back by Kaido because of the Zou Island incident.
He had a conflict with Rifan's disciple, so Kaido was worried that as soon as King was sent to Dressrosa, he would be imprisoned by Rifan in Impel Down.
"Kaido, that guy has just been severely taught by my little junior sister recently, so he probably wouldn't dare to come over."
At this time, Nami passed by Shanks and explained with a smile.
Following Nami's explanation, Shanks and others were surprised that Rifan unexpectedly accepted another disciple, and at the same time felt ashamed of Kaido's bad luck.
"Haha, I didn't think that guy had his arm severed astonishingly." Shanks clutched his stomach and laughed, "No wonder he didn't dare to come over, it turned out to be like this, I was also wondering why Rifan's outer disciple, how could there be someone like Nekomamushi in it? It turns out that Rifan has already been to Zou."
Looking at the center of the arena, and under Perona's explanation, and seeing Nekomamushi, Shanks' eyes flashed with nostalgia.
"Hey, is this a list of matches?"
Suddenly, a huge projection appeared over the arena, with each pair of players lined up on it.
"This thing is a bit like a golden list." Linlin supported her chin with one hand, "Pudding and Violet are facing each other, and Custard is facing Sadi!? This is bad."
