"Leaving already? Is it gonna be that easy?"
Xanxus saw the retreating Whitebeard Pirates' crew. His eyes flashed with a cold light. He held his gun and directly attacked. His leader belonged to the kind type, but he was not. Besides, most of Vongola Family's casualties in this war were Varia's forces. There was no way he'd let the opponent retreat so easily!
As Xanxus pulled the trigger, intense Flame of Wrath swept out, and all Whitebeard Pirates' Division Captains, aside from Vista, who was fighting Squalo, immediately did everything they could to stop Xanxus' attack.
"Squalo! How long are you going to play around?"
Because Xanxus resisted the attack of Lampow, he was quite exhausted, and he couldn't defeat these opponents in one fell swoop that fast.
However, there was one person who didn't have much of interest in war itself. That was Varia's Vice-Captain. From the beginning, Squalo was only facing Vista, enjoying the thrill of a battle between swordsmen.
However, now that his commander had spoken, he naturally couldn't continue playing around!
"Hey! You're called Vista, right? Xanxus is losing his patience, so the battle between us will end here!" Squalo shouted as he forced his opponent to retreat with a single strike.
"Are you finally going to be serious? Marco has already stopped your leader. The others have kept Xanxus occupied, so I have to stop you here and give the others time to evacuate no matter what it takes!"
Vista's eyes were extremely serious. He was well aware of how strong his opponent was. There was indeed a huge gap between him and a swordsman like Squalo. He believed that he could reach Squalo's lev in the future, but that was not now for sure.
The famous swordsman in the sea was very rare, and the strongest one among them was Vongola Family's Rain Guardian, Ugetsu Asari!
"But before the real victor is decided, can you answer a question of mine?" Vista took a deep breath as he gripped his weapon tightly, "Just how big of a gap is there between you and that Ugetsu Asari?"
There was a gap between him and Squalo. Thus, if he wanted to know how much of a gap there was between Squalo and Ugetsu Asari, then Vista would be able to know just how far away he was from being the strongest swordsman in the world!
As a swordsman, he really wanted to know this. Only then would he be able to clearly understand how he would be able to catch up to the strongest swordsman!
"Huh? Me and Ugetsu Asari? I hate to admit it, but that fellow is much more powerful than me. His unparalleled swordsmanship is no joke!"
Upon hearing Ugetsu Asari's name, Squalo's expression also changed slightly. He was extremely confident in his own swordsmanship, but even with such confidence, he had to admit that Ugetsu Asari was much stronger than him.
"Many thanks... If I can survive today, I will definitely stand on the same level as you in the future, and then we'll decide who the victor is by that time! Flower Sword Wheel Dance! "
Vista smiled and immediately swung the two sabers in his hands with all his strength. Flower petals spread all around, and a gale-like flying slash attack came out at this moment.
At the same time, Squalo's expression changed slightly. Then, he quickly rushed towards Vista. He dished out a flying slash attack in the form of a half-circular shape and enveloped his surroundings. At this moment, he also used Rain Flame in conjunction with his flying slash attack.
The flying slash attack eventually took the form of... a whale!
In the original world, Squalo used this move to defeat the Sword Emperor Tyr and began to create his own legend, becoming the second generation Sword Emperor of the previous world!
"Zing!"
The two figures intertwined and flashed past each other. Squalo's sword was stained with blood. He did not even turn his head and kept walking. However, it was also at this time that he slowly spoke in a voice that only he and Vista could hear . "If you are really a swordsman who can reach our level, then try your best to survive, Flowersword Vista!"
Just like how Ugetsu Asari spared Mihawk's life in the duel, although Squalo's sword had left a shocking wound on Vista's body, he did not take away his opponent's life.
The world of swordsmanship was too boring. There were too few opponents who could give him a good fight. Because of this, he also wanted to see if this guy called Flowersword Vista could make the boring swordsman world more interesting!
"Is this how far the gap between that guy and me? I will reach your level even without you telling me to. At that time... "
Before he finished his words, Vista fell heavily to the ground. His vital signs were getting weaker and weaker
"Vista!"
Many Whitebeard Pirates' crew shouted, but they had no way to help now. It was troublesome enough to deal with Xanxus, and now they had to deal with Squalo, who was coming over. They were Division Captains, but the opponent this time was stronger!
Marco was anxious, but he did not dare to go and help or even save Vista because the person in front of him was the biggest threat.
But at this time, Giotto undid his Sun Mark and let out a long sigh.
As soon as the Sun Tattoo wore off, an extreme sense of exhaustion spread through his limbs and bones.
"Fighting with you right now is a very troublesome thing, Marco! After awakening your Devil Fruit, your vitality will be even more troublesome to deal with," Giotto said as he looked at Marco.
He never thought that this guy would awaken his Devil Fruit because of Lampow's lightning!
"What are you trying to say?"
Although Giotto did not seem to have any intention of continuing to fight, Marco was still very cautious.
"If you have time, I suggest you investigate Donquixote Family. Although it is only a small force of the North Blue, but… you should understand what I mean, right?" After saying this, Giotto turned around and left.
He had no intention of continuing the battle, but he would not stop Xanxus from venting his anger!
