Chapter 592
"Whoosh...!" Another slash flew over, but Chen Fan blocked it with his sword;
Chen Fan turned his head, slightly opening his eyes to look at Hawk Eyes. "Want to fight? The World's Strongest swordsman. If you get tired of being the strongest, I don't mind taking that title away." A sharp killing intent rushed towards Hawk Eyes, Hawk Eyes pupils instantly contracted. Sensing Chen Fan's killing intent, Hawkeye's Haki instantly protected him, preventing him from being affected. However, he hadn't expected this man to possess such a strong killing intent. This wasn't the killing intent from killing hundreds or thousands of people, but from even more. For a moment, Hawkeye's consciousness had become blurred.
Hawk Eyes raised his sword and said, "It's rare to encounter such strong swordsmanship. How can we not spar? The title of the World's Strongest swordsman is meaningless. If you can take it, then take it. I just want to become stronger."
It seemed that a fight was the only option, so Chen Fan turned around and withdrew his murderous aura.
Hawkeye drew his other Bone Blade as well. Seeing Chen Fan draw both knives, a smile appeared on Hawk Eyes face. He hadn't encountered an opponent like Chen Fan in a long time. From Chen Fan's skillful slashes just now, Hawk Eyes sensed that Chen Fan a swordsman whose skills were almost on par with his own. There was an uninhabited island not far away. Hawk Eyes accelerated and rushed towards the island. Although he didn't know how Chen Fan could stand steadily on the sea, fighting on the sea would definitely be disadvantageous for him. Only by moving the battlefield to land could he unleash his full strength.
Chen Fan glanced at Hawk Eyes, then accelerated and charged forward. The guys he had defeated before were too weak to represent the true strength of this world. Chen Fan wanted to test the strength of the world's top fighters, and Hawk Eyes was one of the best choices.
Chapter 141 Showdown with Hawk Eyes
(Chapter 141 Showdown with Hawk Eyes)
There are many uninhabited islands like these. These islands are uninhabited because they are frequented by pirates. Some pirates use these uninhabited islands as bases, some to hide treasures, and others to rest briefly. Pirates are creatures who live on their ships, but regardless of their purpose, the island is bound to suffer.
When Hawk Eyes arrived, he looked back at Chen Fan, but Chen Fan had already silently appeared on the island;
Hawk Eyes hadn't expected Chen Fan to be so fast, appearing there in an instant. Hawk Eyes gripped his broadsword with both hands, the tip pointed at Chen Fan, his desire for battle obvious.
Chen Fan wielded Bone Blade, one in each hand. In a sword duel, the man's skill accounts for seven parts of the skill, while the sword accounts for three. Chen Fan's swordplay determined the outcome, leaving Chen Fan with almost no room for defense but to attack. Offense is the best defense, and this has always been Chen Fan's style.
"Whoosh...!" With a sudden acceleration, the figure disappeared. It was Silent Step, but even though it was silent, Chen Fan's exact location could still be detected by his Observation Haki.
Hawk Eyes swung his knife horizontally backward, "Clang!" Chen Fan's knife clashed with Hawk Eyes's, and Chen Fan's figure appeared behind Hawk Eyes;
"With the help of Observation Haki, it doesn't matter where you are," Hawk Eyes said.
Chen Fan smiled slightly and said, "But knowing and being able to do are two different things!" As he spoke, Chen Fan leaned back, using one knife to block Hawk Eyes's attack while swiftly striking at Hawk Eyes with the other.
Hawk Eyes took a step back, because Chen Fan had already dodged his attack beforehand. If he continued to fight Chen Fan's knife would strike him immediately.
As Hawk Eyes retreated, he unleashed a slash at Chen Fan, the strike going from the lower right to the top, tearing a deep gash in the earth. The slash continued its trajectory, hurtling towards the sea, splitting the ocean open once more, this time almost completely halting the flow. After all, this was a slash delivered from land, far more powerful than one from a small boat on the open sea; the difference in power was more than tenfold.
Chen Fan didn't meet the attack head-on; with his current superpowers, he would definitely suffer severe injuries. So, Chen Fan used his Silent Step to dodge it.
Then, he swiftly appeared in front of Hawk Eyes and flew backward in mid-air with Hawk Eyes. Chen Fan smiled at Hawk Eyes and said, "See? Speed is very useful!"
As Chen Fan spoke, his body spun rapidly in mid-air, his twin swords unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks on Hawk Eyes like a storm of blades. Hawk Eyes parried every single one, thanks to the Black Blade's exceptionally long hilt. The entire sword resembled a cross, a perfect blend of offense and defense. Its high attack power, combined with its formidable defensive capabilities in Hawk Eyes's hands, truly made it worthy of being one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords in the Pirate King world.
Despite Chen Fan's incredibly fast attacks, Hawk Eyes's eyes, Observation Haki Haki, the characteristics of his sword, and Hawk Eyes years of honed skills completely blocked them. A smile appeared on Chen Fan's lips as he suddenly stopped spinning, his two swords blocking Hawk Eyes's weapon. He then raised his right foot and stomped down towards Hawk Eyes.
Hawk Eyes hadn't expected Chen Fan to suddenly kick him. As a swordsman, he was thrown off his rhythm by Chen Fan's sudden movement and could only turn his head slightly, but Chen Fan stepped on his shoulder.
"...!" The sound of superpowers activating rang out;
"Boom..."
Hawk Eyes's body was kicked down from mid-air by Chen Fan like a cannonball, creating ripples in the air and leaving a deep crater in the ground, filled with smoke;
"Whoosh..." Several slashes flew towards Chen Fan. Chen Fan rolled several times in the air, dodging all the slashes, and landed on the ground.
The ground beneath Hawk Eyes's feet was cracked, showing that Chen Fan's earlier kick had taken a toll on him. Hawk Eyes readjusted his stance, raised the Black Blade with both hands, held it horizontally in front of him, the tip pointing at Chen Fan. His gaze followed the blade closely, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if he were becoming serious.
"Devil Fruit User!" Hawk Eyes exclaimed. He had heard the sound of the superpower when Chen Fan Hawk Eyes kicked him. But how did Chen Fan end up standing on the sea? Devil Fruit User are almost helpless against the sea, though there are exceptions. The most representative example is Aokiji, one of the Three Admirals of the Marine Headquarters, Devil Fruit User and can walk freely in the sea.
