A world-shaking war broke out in Mary Geoise Mary Geoise, which was once the highest power in the world and was now completely engulfed in flames.
The red earth continued to crumble, and countless drops of bright red blood covered the ground before flowing down the cliffs and into the sea.
The battle has been going on for three days, and in those three days, people or Sea Kings have been dying almost every moment.
Compared to the meat grinder-like carnage in Mary Geoise, the battlefield of generals and powerful warriors dozens of miles away saw few deaths, though the intensity of the battle was even greater.
As time went by, the battlefield had spread for dozens of miles, and the earth had been shattered into countless pieces, with deep pits and ravines dozens of meters deep everywhere.
Meanwhile, booming sounds echoed continuously from the sky, as powerful beings with the ability to fly clashed.
However, they all fought far away from Lin Yuan and Imu, and didn't even have the courage to launch a sneak attack.
Originally, a World Government Admiral wanted to curry favor with Imu and take the opportunity to ambush Lin Yuan, but he was directly shredded by the energy emanating from the two.
This scene startled everyone, which is why they fought while keeping their distance from Lin Yuan and Imu.
"Clang clang clang!!!"
At the edge of the Red Line, two figures clashed repeatedly—or rather, two Supreme Great Grade Sword clashed.
The two fighters were Mihawk and Shanks. Although they knew each other, their friendship had been severely damaged by Lin Yuan's intervention, and they had now become enemies.
In the original work, Mihawk's strength may not be as great as Shanks', but because of Lin Yuan, Mihawk has been fighting against strong opponents all these years.
Leaving aside swordsmanship, his physique and Haki alone are much stronger than in the original work, and he has even Awakening Conqueror's Haki with Lin Yuan's help.
Mihawk, who has always pursued the World's Greatest Swordsman, naturally possesses this Haki.
Mihawk was incredibly excited. He hadn't expected to encounter so many skilled swordsmen here.
Whether it's Izannbaron V. Saint Nusjuro, Figarland Saint Garling, or Shanks before them, their swordsmanship has reached its pinnacle.
Although there have been skilled swordsmen in the " Abyss " Merchant Guild over the years, they have not been able to allow him to fight to his heart's content.
He couldn't defeat Lin Yuan, and none of the others were pure swordsmen. He originally wanted to train Zoro, but now he changed his mind.
Although Shanks in front of me has lost an arm, his overall strength is no weaker than mine.
"Haha, that was really satisfying. If I hadn't joined the Abyss Chamber of Commerce, we might have become very good friends."
" Mihawk, that's what I'm also wondering about. Why did you leave back then? Why did you follow Lin Yuan?"
The two were repelled with a single blow, and took the opportunity to chat while they caught their breath.
A flicker of memory crossed Mihawk's hawk -Hawk Eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hehe, that's because I've witnessed the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Since you lost your arm, you've stopped me from going all out. But Lin Yuan, his strength is something I can chase after."
"As for joining them, although I used to be a pirate, I disdain bullying the weak and would never do such dirty things."
Shanks's face stiffened, but thinking of Lin Yuan's strength, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Mihawk gave Shanks a deep look and said in a cold tone.
"Everyone says you once possessed the strongest Conqueror's Haki, but now it seems you've developed an inner demon. It seems that man has truly frightened you."
Mihawk naturally knew that Shanks had been defeated by Lin Yuan, and that he had lost along with Beckman. Now that they were enemies, he naturally wouldn't hold back.
Shanks's gaze turned fierce; he had never forgotten the terrible state his crew had been in.
"Hmph, although I am no match for Lin Yuan, he is no match for Lord Imu either, and he will also be defeated."
Mihawk curled his lip. Imu was indeed powerful, but he believed it was impossible for him to defeat Lin Yuan. No one knew how many trump cards Lin Yuan had up his sleeve.
Now, seeing Shanks ' appearance, Mihawk suddenly wanted to end the battle as soon as possible and wanted to see the duel between Lin Yuan and Imu.
"Since that's the case, then I'll defeat you first, and then I'll witness that battle for you. Slay!"
Mihawk didn't have any special moves, or rather, all of his attacks were ultimate moves; a sharp green blade of light slashed directly at Shanks.
Shanks narrowed his eyes, and his Gryphon also unleashed a white blade of light.
The two attacks collided violently, and the massive energy surge shattered the ground at the edge of the Red Line, causing a small mountain-sized piece of land to crumble and fall.
"Since that's the case, then I'll show you what true swordsmanship is: Divine Departure!"
Shanks unleashed his Conqueror's Haki's Haki as a shockwave, which had a wide range and could lock onto the enemy.
Mihawk had naturally heard of this signature move from the Pirate King Roger, but it was only when he faced it in person that he truly felt its threat.
Mihawk's expression turned serious, but at the same time, he was excited. He gripped his beloved sword tightly with both hands, his whole body becoming like a sharp blade. He raised his hands, his Conqueror's Haki coating, and slashed out fiercely.
"Boom!"
Two blades of light, Conqueror's Haki Coating, collided violently, cleaving the dark clouds in the sky and the red earth into massive chasms.
The heavens and earth seemed to dim under the impact of these two extreme attacks.
Mihawk's hand was throbbing with pain from the impact, and several small wounds appeared on his body.
However, his eyes grew even brighter, and a glint of steel seemed to appear in his Hawk Eyes. Suddenly, he smiled.
"Hahaha, is this what they Divine Departure?! It's truly an attack of extreme power!"
Compared to Mihawk, Shanks ' face showed shock. He knew that this move, Divine Departure, was almost unbeatable in Roger's hands, and even Garp had to retreat.
But the guy in front of me actually took the hit without even getting hurt.
He finally took it seriously. He knew that Divine Departure was no ordinary attack; it was a unique technique Conqueror's Haki Coating, capable of cleaving even a powerful pirate crew in two with a single strike.
However, Mihawk accepted the challenge, which means that the opponent's strength has reached the level of an emperor, and he has even mastered the Conqueror's Haki Coating.
"Your strength has actually reached this level; you're truly a terrifying fellow. However, my strength is not limited to this."
After Shanks finished speaking, he charged forward, but his aura and figure seemed to become unpredictable.
" Observation Haki Killer?"
Mihawk muttered to himself, immediately ceasing to use Observation Haki for perception, and his Hawk Eyes became even brighter.
"Clang!"
Black Blade Yoru and Gryphon clashed violently, their slender bodies pressed tightly against each other as they wrestled with their weapons.
However, compared to the brightness in Mihawk's eyes, Shanks was utterly horrified.
It's important to know that " Observation Haki Killer " is his signature move, specifically designed to counter Observation Haki. However, Mihawk not only detected his presence but also blocked it once again.
"How is that possible!"
Mihawk's lips curled up, and he increased the pressure in his hand, saying with a smile.
"Heh, compared to your 'Observation Haki Killer, I've long since adapted to Lin Yuan's unparalleled speed and strength. Although I can't stop him, you're not him!"
After saying that, Mihawk suddenly unleashed a powerful Conqueror's Haki, slashing Shanks away with a single strike, and then stomped the ground with a powerful kick.
He didn't chase after it, but instead gripped "Night" tightly with both hands, raising the Black Blade that was almost as long as he was, and then slashing it down fiercely.
"One Strike, Unrivaled!"
