Bright vs. Hawk Eyes: The Showdown

Time: Early morning of the next day.
Location: The shore on the other side of the deserted island, an area untouched by the previous war.

The Red Hair Pirates' main ship, the Red Force, was docked by the shore.

The pirates of the Red Hair Pirates were cheering from the deck of the ship.

Yasopp, holding a bottle of sake, was shouting, "Go for it, Bright!"

Shanks stood to the side, his head aching slightly as he said to Bright, "I'm truly sorry, Bright. This was a condition I owed to Mihawk, and now you have to fulfill it for me."

Bright smiled, "It's fine. I'm very curious to see the strength of the world's greatest swordsman with my own eyes."

Last night, Hawk Eyes had requested a spar with Bright.

This was originally something Shanks had agreed to, but after seeing Bright, he lost interest in fighting Hawk Eyes himself. Instead, he wanted Bright to fight him.

Shanks warned, "Don't go too far."

Bright smiled, "It'll be over soon."

Hawk Eyes stood on the shore, his lips curved slightly, and his sword was already wrapped in Haki. "Then show me! The power that allows you to dominate the deep sea!"

Bright grinned, and fiery red scales began to grow on his body. Since he had promised Hawk Eyes he would fight him with all his might, he couldn't take it lightly.

Hawk Eyes had already darted in front of Bright. He stomped his right foot heavily, crushing the ground, and a large amount of rock was sent flying into the air. At the same time, a green light erupted, and space seemed to be torn apart as a sharp beam was slashed out by the black blade, heading directly towards Bright.

Bright clenched his fist, electricity beginning to crackle. Then, he simply threw a punch.

BOOM!!

The resulting shockwave scattered outwards. The Red Force, docked by the shore, was directly blown away, rocking on the sea as it drifted into the distance.

Yasopp almost choked on his sake, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! What kind of power is that? These two are too much!"

Lucky Roux laughed heartily, "Who will be the victor in the end?"

Beckman slowly exhaled a smoke ring, "It'll be Bright, of course!"

On the shore, a single clash had already shattered the coastline, and Hawk Eyes was sent flying backward with the gale.

Hawk Eyes couldn't help but exclaim, "Such incredible power! This power is far beyond even Charlotte Linlin!"

Bright the Fishman, what a formidable being!

Red-Hair stood outside the area where the two were fighting, unable to resist stroking his chin. "He's gotten even stronger than last year! Both his strength and Haki have improved! Hawk Eyes is completely suppressed here!"

Red-Hair was unaware of Bright's talent. Bright, who was twenty-two this year, had mostly finished developing. However, the various new organs produced by Bloodline Fusion hadn't matured at the same pace as his body. They were still in a period of rapid development. Therefore, Bright's strength was naturally also in a period of rapid growth.

Hawk Eyes, who was being pushed back step by step, exclaimed loudly, "This kind of power is completely beyond anything Charlotte Linlin could match!"

If you want to defeat me, you'll need to show me even greater power!!" Hawk Eyes roared with laughter, black lightning erupting from his blade.

Bright grinned, "Alright, I'll go all out now!"

Unprecedented, brilliant electric light leaped from his right arm, surging upward and radiating outwards like countless Lightning Dragons. Current Drive was pushed to its limit. Then, the energy stored within his body began to be mobilized.

Bright clenched his fist, electricity beginning to crackle. Then, he simply threw a punch.

BOOM!!

On the deck of the Red Force, which was on the sea not far away, the Red Hair Pirates' executives stared with wide eyes.

"What is that!"

Yasopp couldn't help but lean over the deck, craning his neck to look ahead.

**A pillar of leaping lightning originated from the island, streaking across the sea and heading straight towards the distant ocean. The beam didn't skim the surface of the sea, but it carved a massive trench directly across it. Only after the beam disappeared into the horizon did the violent wind begin to surge
