"Let swordsmanship decide this."
Ye Zhuo drew his sword. Red-Haired Shanks and Hawk-Eye Mihawk did the same.
They were simply all absolutely confident in their own swordsmanship.
None of them believed Ye Zhuo could fight two against one.
"Exactly what I had in mind!"
Seeing that Shanks had already tested Ye Zhuo with Conqueror's Haki earlier,
Mihawk took the lead, intending to test Ye Zhuo's skill with the sword.
The blade of Black Blade Yoru was pitch-black, carrying an overwhelming aura as though its swordsmanship could suppress the world.
He swung his sword.
Ye Zhuo appeared at his side.
Holding his sword in one hand, he slashed with First Kitetsu, colliding with Black Blade Yoru!
With the two blades held apart, their Haki was evenly matched.
Both wielded the swordsmanship of the world's strongest number-one swordsman!
Therefore, if they were to determine a victor,
it would either come down to personal comprehension, or a pure contest of strength and speed.
When all active and passive skills were identical,
whoever possessed stronger basic attributes would inevitably unleash more powerful skills!
Boom!
The clashing slashes shattered the sky, scattering the dark clouds.
The shockwave sliced the waves cleanly in half!
Mihawk's missed slash from before had also leveled an entire mountain.
Mihawk had not held back even during his initial test!
True powerhouses understood how much strength they should use against an opponent.
"Boss, is his swordsmanship really this strong too?"
Yasopp never lowered the gun in his hand, keeping it aimed at Ye Zhuo.
However, he was only targeting Ye Zhuo's form.
Ye Zhuo's presence remained concealed with Observation Killing.
"At the very least, he isn't weaker than Mihawk or me."
That assessment from Shanks proved everything.
Swordsmanship no weaker than theirs meant he stood at the pinnacle of the world!
