On a small island in the new world.
"Pops, there is actually a live broadcast here. I'm sure it's Morgan's doing. But this live broadcast... Is this a duel between the two world's best swordsmen?"
Marco also saw the live broadcast at this moment and then laughed: "Intriguing. Those two guys are Vongola Rain Guardian, Ugetsu Asari, and Hawkeye Mihawk, who have recently earned a reputation in the sea. Hey, Vista, how do you think you would fare against them?"
Hearing this, Vista, who had two sabers on his waist, also turned his head and looked at the live broadcast. As the Division Commander of Whitebeard Pirate's 5th Division, he was also a swordsman, but there was a clear gap between him, Hawkeye, and Ugetsu Asari.
Although he knew deep down that he wasn't near their level, Vista snorted coldly and refused to admit defeat, "How can I know if I haven't fought them? Maybe that Black Blade will be mine soon..."
"No way, Vista. Are you sure you can beat Hawkeye?"
"Hahaha, we don't believe you, Captain!"
Hearing the voices around him, Vista was annoyed and shouted, "All of you shut up! What do you know about swordsmen? As long as I seize an opportunity, it is not impossible for me to defeat them!"
"Gu ra ra ra ra!"
At this time, Whitebeard also walked over and took a sip of sake. Then, he laid his gaze on the broadcast. "Those two brats are the future of the sea. They are a pretty good swordsman despite being so young. You have to work hard. Otherwise, you might not even be able to see their backs in a few years."
Vista could still retort when the others ridiculed him, but what could he do with his Pop's earnest and heartfelt blow?
On the uninhabited island.
Hawkeye's gaze became sharper. He could feel that the opponent was formidable, so he didn't let his guard down. In a duel between Master Swordsmen, a slight mistake would seal the deal.
"Black Blade, Yoru, the world's strongest sword. After this battle, I will also become the world's strongest swordsman!"
Mihawk gripped the weapon in his hand tightly. At this moment, he was almost one with the sword. He was completely focused on his opponent. Even if he hadn't attacked, the aura coming from him was already terrifying.
His aura was like a sharp sword that would be able to cut through everything!
"It is indeed a superb weapon. You are indeed the most suitable swordsman to have it."
Ugetsu Asari smiled and then said softly, "What I hold are Four Irregular Swords, one long sword, and three short swords. It is not a famous blade like yours, but I don't think it's wise to underestimate them. "
"Four Irregular Swords? Maybe the swords themselves are not special, but from the moment you wield them, they become special swords for sure." Hawkeye said with a serious face.
He was well aware that it was the wielder that mattered! Just like how he could defeat an average swordsman that used Yoru with a kitchen knife.
"Damn it!"
Squalo suddenly roared, "Why can't it be me fighting them? Damn it!"
Although the two of them had yet to make a move, he was already itching for a fight.
It went without saying that he was eager to test his skills against Ugetsu Asari, but Hawkeye Mihawk was also a Master Swordsman. No matter who became his opponent, he would be extremely excited. Unfortunately, he was just a spectator in this battle, not a participant.
In the next moment, Hawkeye took a deep breath and slowly took a step forward.
He just casually walked toward Ugetsu Asari, but his aura intensified once again. At this moment, he looked like an unsheathed divine sword, cold and sharp! It was as if he could cut anything in front of him with a single slash!
Seeing this scene, Ugetsu Asari's eyes became a bit more serious. The Rain Flame was like flowing through him and his Four Irregular Swords.
Unlike Hawkeye, he didn't give off that invincible vibe. Instead, his aura was as soft as water, but it could drown everything in the world.
This matched his identity. It was like the Requiem of Rain, Vongola Rain Guardian!
At the moment when everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, that peerless black blade was swung...
Hawkeye held the black blade in his hand and slashed forward. The trajectory was very simple. There was nothing fancy about it. It was just clean, and there was no unnecessary movement, all for the sake of displaying his slash to the extreme.
That was right, his way of the sword was to pursue the top with every strike!
"Ichimoku Gotsuyu!"
A chanting-like voice came from Ugetsu Asari's mouth. Following that, he threw three short swords in three different directions. Then, the long sword was swung upward, and a semi-circular water screen quickly appeared.
It seemed like the defense formed by the water screen was extremely weak. However, when the Hawkeye's flying slash attack hit it, it couldn't pierce through it whatsoever. It was restrained by the thin layer of rain and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ichimoku Gotsuyu was the name of a God from Ugetsu Asari's hometown, and it was a god that healed everything and melted all threats, which was why he named that technique just now exactly the same as the god's name
The characteristic of the Rain Flame was Tranquility, allowing it to weaken anything it touched, which was what happened to Mihawk's flying slash attack!
To be honest, no one knew how many sword skills Ugetsu Asari knew because he had a peerless talent in swordsmanship that he could create a mind-blowing sword skill even in the middle of battle.
After blocking Hawkeye's attack, he did not stop for even half a second. With one move, he retrieved the three short swords and threw them out again. This time, his goal was no longer to defend.
The three short swords went straight for Hawkeye. At the same time, Ugetsu Asari waved his long sword, and the short swords were imbued with Rain Flame, turning them into three water dragons in an instant. One could even hear the roar from the dragon's mouth.
