Chapter Ninety-One: God-Breaking Strike! / Chapter Ninety-Two: Who Exactly Is He?

Given his personality, he would never make that choice.

With his Observation Haki, Hawkeye's figure was already visible. He saw Hawkeye's familiar attire: a European-style hat, a low-cut trench coat, the Black Blade Night, and those signature eyes, like an eagle's, fixedly staring in the direction he had come from.

Having failed to achieve her Horizontal Sword, she returned to Dongze's side, nudging his shoulder gently with the hilt of her sword like Dongze wronged child.

It can be described as incredibly spiritual.

Seeing this, Dongze gently patted the hilt of the sword to calm it down, and then sheathed it.

As the world's greatest Great Swordsman, he not only possessed an extremely high level of Armament Haki, but his Observation Haki was also world-class. Therefore, when Dongze saw him, he also saw Dongze's figure.

"It was him?"

Upon seeing that the visitor was Dongze, Hawkeye was taken aback. He had been paying close attention to Dongze recently, as the newly appointed Shichibukai's background didn't seem particularly remarkable.

What impressed him most was the arrogant statement he left in the newspaper.

" With my Swordsmanship Challenges the World!"

He originally planned to go out to sea to find him after a while, to teach this arrogant young man a lesson, to show him the vastness of the sea, and to tell him that one should be humble.

Unexpectedly, the other side has launched a preemptive strike, and it's the same person who shocked me back then.

At that moment, Hawkeye felt as if he had let out eighteen consecutive farts in front of everyone, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

The little white rabbit I remembered suddenly shed its disguise and transformed into a giant sea Giant Beast.

This sudden change was something he couldn't adjust to all at once.

The next moment, a voice drifted over leisurely, startling Hawkeye.

"Sword Three, Cold River!!"

The boundless freezing air seemed to have nowhere to go, so it was all poured into this place, and the sea was frozen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The sea, which had been turbulent due to the collision between the two, turned completely white, transforming into a forbidden zone for life— Glacier.

"Ice-Ice Fruit??"

Upon seeing this scene, Hawkeye's first thought was of Aokiji, the Devil Fruit User.

Randomly Observation Haki, he quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to find out what was going on.

However, he was soon stunned. The surrounding sea was empty. There were hardly any people, let alone Sea Beast. Only one ship was drifting on the edge of the Glacier.

There was also an extremely beautiful woman above, who was not the naval Admiral.

"Masaka??"

Suddenly, a startling idea popped into Hawkeye's mind.

The initial shock he felt towards Dongze's Swordsmanship resurfaced in his mind.

"This astonishing scene was caused by Dongze! And it was caused by that Swordsmanship I've never even met!"

At this thought, a sharp glint flashed in Mihawk's eagle-like eyes.

The next moment, his figure flashed, and using a skill similar to Shave, he disappeared from the spot.

In mid-air, a black and red figure appeared intermittently, almost entirely blurred into a blur by Hawkeye.

The Black Blade flashed with iridescent colors against the night sky.

Ryuo-grade Armament Haki Haki covered it, and then a black and red lightning bolt flashed.

Another layer of armor.

The blade, aided by Black Blade power, began to tremble slightly as a powerful force began to converge upon its body.

It is easy to imagine that once this strike is unleashed, it will be earth-shattering.

"Divine Strike!!"

Chapter Ninety-One: God-Breaking Strike!

Kihobil Island, a Slashing illuminated an area spanning dozens of miles, its violent power leaving a bottomless chasm in the Glacier before Hawkeye.

Feeling the power of the Slashing, Dongze's heart skipped a beat.

He kept thinking to himself, "That old sly Rayleigh is definitely fooling me!"

Putting everything else aside, this Slashing alone far surpasses the Divine Departure Rayleigh unleashed when he attacked.

Hawkeye's ultimate move, "Divine Strike," creates Slashing that is incredibly fast. From the front, you can only see a red line that appears and disappears in mid-air.

Furthermore, Hawkeye's position was not far from Dongze's. Even if Dongze could dodge the Slashing from that position, the ship beneath him would not be able to.

Looking into those hawk-like eyes that gleamed with a cold light, Dongze suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by some terrifying animal.

It's like a chilling, sharp sword piercing deep into one's heart, giving one an extremely strong sense of oppression.

At this moment, the words spoken by the Old Whitebeard Hancock during the Hawkeye Paramount War echoed in his mind, "Even the strongest warrior would tremble and be unable to move when he looked into his eyes."

Looking back now, that was probably not an exaggeration; those unique eyes and that immense sword aura did indeed create extremely powerful pressure.

But...

The next instant, the Sword Intent within Dongze's body suddenly surged violently. As if it had been violated, the five Sword Intent began to emerge from between his eyebrows, directly extinguishing the discomfort that Hawkeye had caused him earlier.

Then five invisible small swords began to hover around Dongze.

It exuded an aura that surpassed all living beings, protecting Dongze, and faintly, the space itself seemed to emit mournful cries.

The Slashing the air, and in the next instant, a red line swept away everything in its path, rushing to Dongze's front. Robin's eyes changed, and her hands were covered with dark Armament Haki at some point. She crossed her arms slightly, about to activate her Devil Fruit ability.

Dongze glanced sideways, stopping her. Hawkeye was no ordinary person; even if she simply used Armament Haki to block his Slashing, she wouldn't gain any advantage, let alone the fact that she had only recently Armament Haki Initiate!

Dongze gently patted the Sword Case, and Forgotten Dust flew out with a whoosh, running up Dongze's ankle to his shoulder. Then the Dongze slowly rose, the entire blade turned horizontally, and then slowly moved forward, much like a green Green Snake poised to unleash a full-force attack.

The next moment, Dongze gently bent one of his right index and middle fingers, and Forgotten Dust, with remarkable intelligence Dongze 'Dongze arm and into his hand.

Holding the sword in his right hand, he lightly tapped the blade, and a whirlwind roared out from beneath Dongze's feet. A mysterious and profound aura followed, causing the surrounding space to sink.

Armament Haki enveloped Forgotten Dust in the blink of an eye, and then red and black lightning reappeared, clearly the manifestation of Conqueror's Haki, slowly coiling around the sword like a lightning serpent.

It Conqueror's Haki Coating.

During this time, he consulted Rayleigh about the Conqueror's Haki Coating technique, and after some arduous attempts, he finally mastered it.

It's kind of funny, actually. The place where he initially succeeded in Conqueror's Haki Coating was a bit embarrassing for him. He even joked in private that his Conqueror's Haki was rather unorthodox.

With Sword Intent as a foundation, he wasn't entirely clueless about the application of Conqueror's Haki.

Even so, it took him a great deal of effort. In the process of continuous attempts, his Proficient of Conqueror's Haki unexpectedly reached 400,000, which was a pleasant surprise.

He originally thought that the strength of Conqueror's Haki would break through its limit as his Proficient increased, but now he realized that Proficient was more about the application of Conqueror's Haki.

Strength can only change as one's own strength increases.

In fact, his Conqueror's Haki Coating had a very different effect than Roger's and the others.

He guessed that this was because everyone pursued different ideals.

Roger and his crew yearned for freedom, and they had a unique understanding of the Pirate King, believing Pirate King to be the freest person.

Freedom, by its very nature, symbolizes being unrestrained and free from constraints.

Therefore, when his Conqueror's Haki Coating applied to his sword techniques, that effect occurred.

Avoid the opponent's weapons and strike their physical form directly.

They are unreasonable and disregard rules.

As for Dongze, his original dream was different from theirs. He longed to see the scenery at the end of the Swordsmanship and hoped to bring something different to this land and sea.

What he sought was greater, more ambitious, even exceeding the limits of this world.

His Conqueror's Haki Coating effect is Infinite Sword Creation; as the amount of Conqueror's Haki increases, the power of his Slashing will increase without limit.

He had secretly tried it before, and when he amplified his Conqueror's Haki to 30%, its destructive power was comparable to that of the least Proficient Sword Intent.

This attack of his now has more than 50% of his Conqueror's Haki amplified, meaning it surpasses an ordinary Sword Intent strike.

Its power is comparable to Admiral's full-force attack.

"Break~"

It was just a simple Slashing, and Dongze didn't give it a name.

After a loud shout, a crescent moon, red and black, shot through the air.

The bow dipped slightly, splashing up a huge wave.

The next instant, the explosion was as deafening as Thunderclap, making Robin's face turn pale.

The two black and red crescent moons collided, and at the point of impact, black and red lightning intertwined, creating ripples.

Then it spread wildly in all directions, and the sea became turbulent. Moreover, the Glacier seemed to be swept by blades of wind.

It opened its hideous mouth, which then grew larger and larger, showing a tendency to continue spreading.

Watching the two red and black Slashing going back and forth in mid-air, neck and neck, a thought suddenly popped into Dongze's mind.

Hawkeye might surprise me.

The fluctuations continued to spread, beginning to radiate to the edge of the Glacier, and large Glacier, as large as mountains, sank into the seabed.

Before Dongze could even hesitate, Hawkeye had already vanished into thin air, and a dark blade of light appeared in front of Dongze the next moment.

The sharp blade carried a bloodthirsty killing intent. As expected of Hawkeye, such a stunning slash was not his killing move, but a tactic to lure the enemy.

This strike is his Finishing Move- kill.

Hawkeye used almost no restraint in that strike.

Swordsmen's duels are always fought to the death; showing humility to one another is considered a sign of pity for the weak and has always been regarded as shameful in the swordsman's circle.

Therefore, Hawkeye went all out in this attack!

"God-Breaking Strike!!"

Chapter Ninety-Two: Who exactly is he?

At the edge of the Glacier, near the ship's side, concentric circles of dark ripples spread rapidly outwards like waves.

Without the support of Conqueror's Haki, all that remains Armament Haki has been honed to near perfection.

Faced with this situation, Dongze shook his head in frustration. He had underestimated swordsmen who could decide life and death with a single strike, especially Dracule Mihawk, who was the number one Swordmaster on the high seas!

He let out a soft sigh.

"Non-Contention!"

An invisible aura flashed past Dongze's forehead, and then Dongze's figure became somewhat illusory.

Forgotten Dust was covered by a layer of aquamarine blue, and the next moment, Dongze, wielding the sword, seemed to be cut off from the entire world.

Then Dongze gently twisted his wrist, causing Forgotten Dust to slip from his grasp. He then spun the sword around its hilt, the tip of which struck the edge of the Black Blade, Night.

Then, using this interaction force, Forgotten Dust once again swirled back around the sword's edge, falling back into Dongze's hands.

At this moment, Black Blade Night, which had been sweeping across with overwhelming force, was suddenly pulled by this inexplicable external force, and the blade, without Hawkeye's control, turned downwards.

Feeling that strange, alien power, Hawkeye almost cried out!

Is this some kind of nonsense??

He could sense that the extreme sword in Dongze's hand hadn't had much impact on Black Blade Night, but Black Blade Night seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and wasn't listening to his commands at all.

No matter how much force he used, it was like a stubborn ox, the kind that a hundred Sea Beast couldn't pull back, forcing him to watch helplessly as it turned towards the bottomless abyss below the ship.

A flicker of struggle crossed Hawkeye's eyes; he suddenly felt an urge to let go.

But the sword is also the swordsman's life; a swordsman without his sword is a failure.

Very few people can reach the level of swordsman Gai Nie in the Legend of Qin's Moon.

During the battle at the Mechanized City, his Yuanhong was broken by his junior brother Wei Zhuang with the demonic sword Shark Tooth. At the last moment, he chose to discard his sword and subdue Wei Zhuang with the broken blade.

Of course, it was also because of his soft heart that the love-hate relationship that followed.

As Great Swordsman who cherishes his sword above all else, he naturally couldn't escape this constraint either.

Moreover, the current situation does not allow him to abandon his sword. Dongze is waiting in full battle formation not far behind him, and abandoning his sword would mean defeat.
