Bastille
"Brush..."
T Bone made the first move, swinging his longsword and unleashing a powerful slash towards Cavendish.
T Bone truly deserves the title of "Ship-Slaying Hero".
This strike was not only incredibly powerful, but it also sliced through the ground as easily as cutting through paper.
Its speed was Inazuma fast, and it arrived in front of Cavendish in the blink of an eye.
Cavendish's strength was undeniable, and while T Bone was extremely powerful, he was still considerably weaker. T Bone then held Durandal horizontally in his hand.
"Clang!"
Cavendish blocked T Bone's slash. However, the powerful impact Cavendish take a step back.
However, that's all there is to it.
T Bone's pupils contracted, and then he said with a solemn expression, "I knew you were strong when you were able to withstand one of my attacks. But I didn't expect you to be this powerful."
As he finished speaking, T Bone's blood began to boil.
As a swordsman, when he encounters an even stronger and more powerful swordsman, his swordsman's passion immediately ignites his desire to try his luck.
"Brush..."
T Bone, who had been wielding his sword with one hand, switched to wielding it with both hands. Then, he stared intently at Cavendish.
Finally, with a sudden, powerful swing, an even more terrifying slash erupted forth.
This time, Cavendish didn't choose to defend himself, but instead dodged the attack. Then, with a burst of power from his legs, he shot towards T Bone like an arrow.
"Beautiful Sword - Bluebird!"
Cavendish used Durandal to deliver a powerful straight thrust to T Bone. Due to the speed of the attack, an airflow was generated around the sword during the Thrust, making the attack even more powerful.
"Not good..."
T Bone's expression changed drastically.
Cavendish's attack was incredibly fast; he barely had time to react. A counterattack was impossible.
Even dodging is no longer an option.
However, he could still defend himself. He raised his sword forward, blocking Cavendish's thrust.
"Clang!"
This time, it was his turn to bear the brunt of the attack.
Under the immense force, T Bone was thrown back more than ten meters. His legs left two deep gashes on the ground.
This demonstrates just how powerful the impact of that attack was.
"This is not good!"
Bastille was watching the battle from a short distance away, narrowed his eyes.
Because Cavendish and T Bone both received a blow from each other, and although they both blocked the attack, one of them only managed to take a step back.
One retreated more than ten meters.
The superiority or inferiority has been determined.
However, this doesn't mean T Bone will definitely lose to Cavendish. In reality, the chances of him turning the tables in this situation are very, very high.
After all, T Bone wasn't without the power to retaliate.
"Brush..."
Sure enough, after blocking that attack, T Bone swung his hand back, unleashing an even more powerful slash.
This time, he held nothing back.
To truly give it your all.
"Beautiful Swords - Round Table!"
Cavendish moved, leaping into the air with a powerful stride, dodging T Bone's attack.
He then leaped onto T Bone's head.
He then spun 360° to the side and slashed at T Bone, while simultaneously swinging Durandal in a circular motion, targeting T Bone's neck.
If he were to strike, T Bone's head would be spectacularly severed.
"Not good..."
T Bone's expression changed drastically.
Because he probably couldn't dodge this attack.
"Tekkai - Armament Hardening!"
Fortunately, as Rear Admiral, he had also mastered three of the Six Powers styles of martial arts and Awakening his Armament Haki. Therefore, he was able to make a final defensive move in time.
"Clang..."
The next second, the sword struck T Bone squarely in the neck. With terrifying force, T Bone was sent flying.
At this moment, Bastille was moved and caught T Bone directly.
After regaining his balance, T Bone felt a sharp pain in his neck. He was still shaken...
If he hadn't mastered the Tekkai from the Six Powers, and if he hadn't Awakening Armament Haki a few days ago, he probably would have already fallen to Cavendish this time.
Cavendish raised an eyebrow. "Six Powers? Armament Haki?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cavendish unleashed Armament Haki, which enveloped Durandal.
Then he laughed, "With the next strike, I'll finish you off..."
"Hey, hey... don't get too carried away. You've forgotten what I told you." At this moment, Moke's voice rang in Cavendish's mind once again.
Cavendish's smile deepened upon hearing this, "Acting, you have to do it convincingly. Otherwise, it'll look too fake..."
Moke, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but laugh.
"What's the meaning????"
T Bone and Bastille puzzled.
But then Cavendish pointed his sword at T Bone: "Come on, if you're not satisfied..."
"Damn it, I..." T Bone was about to step forward again.
However, Bastille stopped him; the battle just now had already demonstrated the situation. The current T Bone is no match for Cavendish, even with T Bone's Armament Haki; he would be even stronger.
The art of swordsmanship has reached a new level.
Only then can we truly contend with them.
T Bone was still somewhat unconvinced. "Lieutenant Vice Admiral Bastille."
Bastille shook his head. "Let me handle this! You're no match for him yet."
Upon hearing this, T Bone was still somewhat unwilling.
He nodded anyway.
Because that is indeed the truth.
Bastille step by step toward Cavendish, Cavendish couldn't help but laugh even harder, "So it's your turn now? Interesting... Perfect, let me see just how strong the elite Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters really are!"
Bastille, "As you wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bastille his greatsword fiercely, unleashing a terrifying slash.
It will be even more powerful than T Bone's previous slash.
Upon seeing this, Cavendish's eyes lit up, and he became completely excited. "That's more like it!"
"Call..."
Cavendish then took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing. He then swung his sword horizontally, unleashing a horizontal slash that met Bastille head-on.
The two slashes collided fiercely in mid-air, and after a brief stalemate and collision...
They both vanished into thin air!
"How can you do that?"
T Bone exclaimed in surprise, because judging from this attack, Cavendish had not been fighting at full strength when they fought him before.
They're just playing around!
This dealt a heavy blow to T Bone's arrogance, causing him to somewhat break down mentally.
Cavendish and Bastille, as if by prior arrangement, unleashed their power after their attacks dissipated in the air, rushing towards each other at breakneck speed.
Then, he swung his sword.
