Hawkeye walked toward the ruins one step at a time, the Black Blade Yoru gleaming coldly in the sunlight, its tip aimed at Enel, who struggled to rise amid the dust.
Those sharp, hawklike eyes held no pity, only indifference toward the outcome of the battle and punishment for a weakling's insolence.
Just as he was about to swing his blade again-
Boom! A dark figure hurtled between them at a speed far beyond Enel's earlier Thunderbolt, appearing almost to teleport!
He moved so fast that he even unleashed a muffled sonic boom!
The newcomer used no weapon at all. He simply raised his wrist, coated in pitch-black Armament Haki condensed to its utmost limit!
Clang!! A metallic crash heavier and more explosive than any of their previous clashes suddenly rang out!
A visible ring of shock waves erupted outward, instantly clearing the surrounding dust and cracking the ground inch by inch!
Hawkeye's Black Blade Yoru, which could cut through anything, was stopped dead in midair by that wrist coated in top-tier Armament Haki!
At the point where blade met wrist, sparks of black-and-red lightning burst forth, almost tangible!
A terrifying, irresistible force surged from that wrist, sending a faint numbness through Hawkeye's arm and forcibly halting his advance!
"Hm?"
For the first time, Hawkeye's impassive face showed a clear shift in expression. His pupils contracted sharply, and his piercing gaze instantly fixed on the hulking figure who had suddenly appeared before him.
That powerful body like a steel fortress, that wild, unruly yellow hair, and those eyes burning with battle lust and a desire for destruction...
"Douglas Bullet?" A trace of surprise entered Hawkeye's low voice.
He had clearly recognized the "Demon" heir who had once sailed aboard Roger's ship before making his name known throughout the world.
