Looking at the two figures that were almost invisible, even Shanks couldn't help but sigh.

Mihawk is strong enough.

The title of the World's Greatest Swordsman is not just for show.

As old rivals and old friends.

Shanks can say with certainty that Mihawk and other swordsmen of his time, if judged solely on swordsmanship, were worlds apart!

To be born in the same era as this man is a tragedy for all swordsmen.

Shanks has always firmly believed that in terms of swordsmanship talent, there is no one more monstrous than Mihawk.

And it actually happened!

If Mihawk is indeed exceptionally gifted...

Lin Yan's statement is simply outrageous!

Therefore, Shanks had nothing to worry about regarding the outcome of this battle. Even his old friend, facing that monster, would probably...

"Oh, it's here!"

Observing the battle between the two at close range, Shanks ' eyes suddenly lit up at one moment.

Mihawk's expression changed drastically!

Whoosh----!

The two passed each other at lightning speed, but this time Mihawk did not immediately pursue as he had before.

Instead, he suddenly stood still.

His facial expression became unusually unpredictable.

Before I knew it, a bloody gash had appeared on my hand.

"..."

Logically speaking, as a swordsman, getting injured is nothing new to Mihawk, but this kind of injury is a first for him...

The man's gaze became unusually uncertain, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked Lin Yan.

"What was that just now?"

From Dracule Mihawk's perspective.

I was just inexplicably slashed!

Yes, it's completely inexplicable!

In that brief moment, even I almost didn't realize when the blade arrived; it seemed to have appeared there in an instant.

If it weren't for his amazing eyesight and years of combat training, Mihawk would have barely reached the beginner level of Mind's Eye's Eye.

I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to dodge that attack!

Even so, it was extremely dangerous.

Mihawk had never seen such bizarre swordsmanship before, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Well, we're still in the middle of a duel. It wouldn't be right to reveal my hand so easily, would it?"

Lin Yan smiled at Mihawk.

He then pointed the Holy Sword in his hand at the man before him.

"Want to know more? Try again!"

"Good!"

Mihawk nodded without hesitation, and then charged straight at Lin Yan.

However, compared to his previous bold and unrestrained movements, this time he was much more careful, and his eyes were fixed on the Holy Sword in Lin Yan's hand.

Then, the same thing happened again in the next second.

The blade vanished from his sight in an instant.

Then, in an instant, they appeared in another place.

"?!"

If Mihawk hadn't been mentally prepared, he wouldn't have been able to react in time, and just like before, he barely managed to dodge the attack.

"..."

Just like before, Mihawk stood there lost in thought once again.

A moment later, Mihawk raised his head.

"Again!"

There was still no wasted words, and the result was exactly the same. However, this time, after standing still, Mihawk's face showed a hint of understanding.

"I see... Your muscles, the way you control them is different from mine, that's why they looked like that just now."

"... As expected of you."

Upon hearing Mihawk's words, Lin Yan couldn't help but show some surprise. He could see through the most essential things in just three tries.

He truly deserves to be recognized as a super genius.

"Looks like I wasn't mistaken."

Seeing the surprised expression on Lin Yan's face, Mihawk nodded. He had never seen such a bizarre sword technique before.

Thinking it over, Mihawk suddenly put down his sword and fell into deep thought.

Then, seeing Lin Yan's surprised expression again, he slowly spoke.

"I think I have some good ideas... Lin Yan, can we stop here for today and come back in three days?"

There was no attempt to conceal it.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Mihawk said this quite frankly.

This style is very much in line with his personality. Mihawk is willing to give up anything in order to take another step forward in swordsmanship, let alone just a little bit of face.

"..."

I have to say, that sounds really strange.

If I had to put it that way, it's like losing at rock-paper-scissors and then changing it to best of three.

However, Lin Yan laughed.

After all, if it weren't for that, the man opposite him wouldn't be Dracule Mihawk.

"You've already had an epiphany so quickly?"

"Hmm, give me three days, and I can become stronger."

Mihawk nodded very seriously and said...

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be called a top-tier genius.

Without a doubt, if we're simply discussing a swordsman's talent, Mihawk is undoubtedly the strongest in the world!

The one without a doubt!

Unfortunately, Mihawk is a naturally gifted athlete.

But I'm a cheater! (33novel. com)

Looking at Mihawk in front of her, Lin Yan suddenly smiled, as if she had thought of something quite interesting.

"Since you've had some kind of epiphany, then to help you become even stronger in three days, I'll show you a little of my trump card."

Lin Yan said this softly.

Then, in the next second, with Mihawk's expression suddenly changing, he vanished instantly.

"Tsk?! This monster!"

Seeing this, even Shanks, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but curse.

This is a perverted technique.

So that's how it's actually used?!

Through perfect control of all the muscles in the body, it brings incredible explosive power, which is undoubtedly a technique at the pinnacle of physical skills.

And when this amazing skill is no longer limited to simple slashing, but is fully utilized in combat...

That's how it turned out!

"..."

Mihawk couldn't see what was happening at all; Lin Yan's figure seemed to be constantly flashing, and the speed of her attack was close to teleportation.

That's definitely not something you can figure out just by looking!

And then, in that very instant...

He was slashed eighteen times!

A total of eighteen cuts!

"..."

Even after Lin Yan returned to her original spot with a smile, Mihawk was still stunned, as if savoring the astonishing scene that had just unfolded.

After a long while, Mihawk slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The man nodded at Lin Yan with utmost seriousness.

"Thank you, I've learned a lot."
