boom...
Turning our attention to Sabo, his opponent Jessicano slashed at him with his sword. With a whoosh, Sabo dodged the attack, and the slash flew straight down towards the barrier.
Click...
The blade flashed across the ground, leaving a deep groove and a glint of light shining through the cleaved steel wall.
clatter...
"Tsk tsk, what a pity! I almost managed to cut you in half!"
Jessicano landed back on the ground, glanced at Sabo with a regretful expression, and said with some disappointment.
"Heh heh heh, how could I possibly be so easily defeated by your mediocre abilities? If you want to kill me, show me your true skills, Iai master!!"
Sabo straightened up, shouted at him, then leaped towards him with his left hand and swung his claw forcefully.
call out...
Clang!!
Jessicano didn't even look and charged forward with her sword. The sound of the sword rang out, and a strong gust of air surged outwards once again.
"Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish. Moreover, your strength is more than worthy of my use of this technique. This is my trump card, prepared specifically for Hawk-Eye. Today, I will unleash it upon the world! Take this, Sabo! One Sword Style... Iai Dragon Slash!!"
When Sabo told him to show his true abilities, Jessicano's eyes finally became serious as she carefully looked him over before firmly replying.
Then she sheathed the knife back into the hilt, holding the hilt in her right hand and gripping the hilt in her left. Her imposing aura seemed to transform her into a furious Furious Dragon roaring to the sky in everyone's eyes. As Jessicano drew her sword and swung it, the sword energy accompanied it as it swung towards Sabo.
Chant...
At that moment, influenced by his aura, the sword energy transformed into a white Giant Dragon that roared and swooped down.
Rumble...
Wherever the Giant Dragon passed, the earth cracked open, carving out a bottomless chasm. The crack tore towards Sabo as the Giant Dragon ripped through the earth. The process seemed to take a long time, but in reality, it only took less than a second.
"Hmm, this is... such a powerful slash. We can't take it head-on; we need a special card..."
In a very short time, Sabo realized that the slash was not something he could withstand in his current state. Before his brain could even issue a command, his body Extreme Speed shifted to the side, once again avoiding Jessicano's slash unharmed.
boom...
As expected, the sword light easily tore through the steel-reinforced outer wall as if slicing through tofu, and continued its powerful slash into the distance.
"Hehehe, you dodged it again? I must say, your reflexes are quite good, otherwise that attack would have decided the outcome immediately. It seems I underestimated you. Sabo, Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, you are strong. I will use all my strength to defeat you. I hope you can withstand these blows..."
Swoosh...
With that, Jessicano used his movement technique, leaped off the spot, and sped forward again, gripping the hilt of his sword with both hands and thrusting the tip of the blade at Sabo.
" Sword Thrust..."
Jessicano shouted in mid-air, and the sword energy condensed at the tip of the blade, piercing through the air that was blocking her way.
Clang...
The sword rang out, accompanied by a piercing tearing sound as it stabbed straight towards Sabo's chest.
"If you keep coming, then I... well, I can't dodge it..."
Sabo looked at the blade heading straight for his chest, muttered a complaint, and prepared to speed up and dodge, only to find that he couldn't avoid the attack at all. He was already locked onto by Jessicano's Observation Haki, and felt that no matter how much he dodged, he couldn't avoid the attack. So he took a deep breath, revealing his inner strength at this moment, preparing to meet the attack head-on with his strength.
"Did you notice? That's right, I've already locked onto your position. Dodging won't help; taking it head-on is the only correct course of action. But the problem is, you can't take it. Die!!"
Seeing that Sabo had realized he couldn't dodge this attack and was preparing to meet it head-on, he couldn't help but praise Sabo's reaction. After saying that, his power surged again, and he stared intently at Sabo's heart, intending to pierce through it.
"Oh no, Sabo... Danger! Get out of the way! Don't be reckless!!"
On the other side, Koala, who had been watching Sabo and Jessicano's every move, saw this scene. Although she didn't know how strong the attack was, she could feel the fear of it. When Jessicano thrust out the knife, Koala's hair stood on end, and she immediately shouted to Sabo in worry.
"Hehehe, how could that be? Koala, you're being too naive. I have to take this blow, otherwise I won't be able to escape."
Hmph... Let's see how this move ends. Victory or defeat hinges on this one strike! Dragon Claw... Dragon's... Breath!!"
After saying that, Sabo's Dragon Claw suddenly stretched forward, grabbing Jessicano's blade.
Clang...
Blast rang out, and a powerful blast of air swept outwards once more, whipping up and propelling scattered rubble and pieces of wood. In the center of the battle, Sabo's dragon claws tightly gripped Jessicano's blade, holding him and the blade suspended in mid-air, locked in a stalemate.
"Hehehe, it's useless. Your Haki is no match for this move, so fall down now... True... Sword Thrust!!"
Although Sabo had grabbed the blade and prevented him from taking another step forward, Jessicano on the other side did not panic. She chuckled and once again unleashed a powerful aura, increasing the force in her hand.
Click click...
At this moment, Sabo was already losing his grip on the blade, which was making a cracking sound as it pressed against his Dragon Claw, aiming to stab towards his chest.
"Heh, stop forcing yourself. It's not a good feeling either. Just give up now and let me pierce your heart. That way, it'll all be over, and you'll be free from pain..."
Seeing that his attack had failed, Jessicano spoke again in his ear, trying to make him give up resistance from the bottom of his heart.
"Damn it... my dream hasn't even come true yet, I can't stop here, back down..."
As he spoke, the veins on Sabo's arm bulged, and his muscles Expansion, stretching his sleeves to hold it firmly in place.
Swoosh...
As he held Jessicano's blade in place with his right hand, he raised his left arm high, instantly wrapping it with Armament Haki, and unleashed a powerful blast at him.
"Hmph, a mere punch? Let's see how I counter it..."
Bang...
After saying that, Jessicano gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands, twisted her lower body, and used the hilt of the knife as a fulcrum to kick Sabo's left fist, knocking Sabo's arm away and simultaneously exerting force with both hands to strike him directly.
"Not good..."
Sabo became aware of the situation, but his body failed to react in time.
Pfft...
The sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and a splash of bright red blood splattered upwards.
