Civilizational Exchange Through Miracles!
Both swords are named 'Night'.
It was merely a minor coincidence before the duel.
Neither Mihawk nor Yami Tsukahara took it to heart.
In comparison, the latter was more concerned with the scope of authority that the former described within the World Government as belonging to the Swordmaster Hall.
"The Sword Sect, which governs all sword paths, Swordsmanship, and swordsmen across all realms, is truly a place that inspires longing!"
"Unfortunately, I probably have no hope of seeing her, but Yami-hime seems to want to."
Yami Tsukahara, a feeling of regret rising within him.
"To be able to become the Hall Master of the Swordmaster Hall at the age of twenty-two, he must indeed be the strongest swordsman in the group. It's just that his age is a bit too frightening."
"Then, please enlighten me!"
The Shenwa Island Country's Sword Saint slowly bent down, while leaning his upper body slightly forward.
The elderly man's long, strong right hand gripped the white knife hilt in his left.
He then assumed the classic 'iaid' pose.
At the same time.
A powerful and sharp aura surged from Yami Tsukahara's body.
A fierce fighting spirit accompanied his sharp gaze, which was fixed on Mihawk.
This gradually excited Mihawk, and his hawk-like pupils trembled slightly.
[Boom!]
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from his body, sweeping across all directions like Tornado.
This caused Yami Tsukahara's pupils to shrink abruptly, and his loose, simple white Samurai robe fluttered violently in the strong wind.
[Whoosh!]
[Clang----]
The next second.
The two disappeared from the spot almost simultaneously.
Then, in an instant, two swords, one large and one small, one long and one short, but both with black and sharp blades, clashed heavily together in the arena.
Instantly.
The surrounding void trembled violently with a thunderous explosion.
The air everywhere was almost turned into a thick paste.
Like surging waves, it swept up the golden sand below, spreading it in all directions and blowing the trees on the distant island backward.
The Swordsmanship duel between Mihawk and Yami Tsukahara thus began.
The sharp glint of blades and the dazzling light of swords shone brightly amidst the afterimages of the two figures as they rapidly clashed.
Black Blade 'Night', black sword 'Night'.
They move according to their respective owners' wishes.
With speeds and trajectories that are impossible for the naked eye to perceive, it strikes, stabs, flicks, or cleaves.
It was as if two storms, formed entirely of cold light, were violently colliding on the beach.
In an instant.
The clanging and banging sounds were like those of tens of thousands of blacksmiths.
It erupted rapidly, like the hammering of a forging knife, completely drowning out all other noises in the world.
At the same time.
A dense barrage of air blades, accompanied by intense whistling and clanging of swords, flew out in all directions—these were the various attacks that the two had dodged.
But these are the aftershocks that they consider insignificant.
It is enough to leave the ground riddled with holes, rocks and trees shattered, and the sea surface covered with 'wounds' that never heal.
However.
Both Mihawk and Yami Tsukahara restrained their destructive power, tacitly avoiding using overly powerful slashing techniques.
Both of them knew that this tiny island was simply no match for the devastation of their all-out battle.
They decided to limit the scope of the battle to a pure contest and exchange of Swordsmanship.
To this end.
Mihawk even voluntarily gave up using Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
Yami Tsukahara also did not use the power bestowed upon him by the Divine Dragon God.
"This is terrifying! How can a person be this strong?"
About four or five hundred meters from the island, Yami-hime stood on the deck of a sailboat, watching the fierce battle unfolding on the island with a look of astonishment.
The dense array of sword and blade energy was like two raging, roaring rivers colliding, intersecting, crashing, and finally shattering.
Although the impact, under the control of both sides, only affected the area near this beach.
But this strange phenomenon also deeply attracted the officers and soldiers of both naval fleets.
However, what outsiders think.
Mihawk and Yami Tsukahara had no time to care at this moment, as they were completely focused on the battle.
Or rather...
His attention Total Concentration on his opponent's exquisite Swordsmanship.
Yami Tsukahara said that he could clearly sense that every move Mihawk made was full of spirituality.
Some of these sword techniques even amazed or challenged someone like myself, a 'Sword Saint' who has been immersed in the way of swordsmanship for over seventy years.
Moreover, these kinds of sword techniques are not just one or two, but rather an endless series of interconnected moves.
This is actually one of the major benefits that Mihawk received after becoming the Hall Master of the Swordmaster Hall.
Over the past few years, the Swordmaster Hall has not only attracted many renowned swordsmen from all over the Sea Star.
Furthermore, through the exchange of various resources, the Swordsmanship techniques of these swordsmen were compiled into a book.
Furthermore, ancient Swordsmanship from Wano Island, passed down for hundreds or even nearly a thousand years, have been reprinted and included in the 'Swordsmanship Pavilion'.
Besides.
The classic sword manuals from the Kabane World, Demon Slayer World, and even the Attack on Giant World were all collected after being examined by veteran swordsmen.
Don't be fooled by the fact that swordsmanship is very weak in these worlds.
But since it can be passed down continuously within a world and practiced by people, it must have some exquisite aspects.
Swordmaster Hall needs to do is preserve the original recipe while extracting its essence.
And Mihawk.
As the Hall Master of the Swordmaster Hall, he naturally has the right to freely view these essences of Swordsmanship from different worlds.
This directly resulted in his Swordsmanship being more refined than that of the character in the 'original story'.
This is in stark contrast to the more rugged swordsmen Sea Star Homeworld.
Simply put, many Great Swordsman are on par with Mihawk in the present day.
If we don't use powerful sword strikes and only compare pure Swordsmanship skills, it's very likely that the outcome will be one-sided.
Therefore, Yami Tsukahara felt immense joy during his fight with Mihawk.
Just like the time he spent studying under various Swordsmanship masters during his youth.
Almost every day I am immersed in new Swordsmanship knowledge, and every day I can feel myself becoming stronger.
The Divine Harmony and the Sword Saint eagerly savored Isshiki Mihawk unleashed.
Meanwhile, Mihawk...
In fact, he was also greedily absorbing Yami Tsukahara's exquisite Swordsmanship.
Nearly seventy years of swordsmanship experience has been continuously demonstrated in battle, which is like nectar to Mihawk, whose mind is solely focused on the sword.
This is one of the values of Star Gate.
It can make two, no, more, even countless.
World cultures that were originally completely unable to come into contact have miraculously engaged in incredible exchanges.
This moment.
Mihawk was incredibly grateful to Imu for creating such a magnificent Star Gate.
Because he knew that in his future, he would inevitably encounter more exceptionally talented sword masters like Yami Tsukahara.
Time slipped away quietly as the two danced gracefully amidst the flashing swords.
But no one noticed.
Further east, in the deep sea, a massive black shadow was silently charging toward the World Government's naval fleet at an indescribable speed.
Meanwhile, Vice Yamakaji Vice Admiral other naval officers were still watching the battle footage projected by Den Den Mushi.
Everyone's so quiet! While reading, please say something. Without this chapter's comment, the author is really bored.
