Yasopp immediately stood up straight.
" Black Blade Yoru."
" The Thunder Emperor did indeed bring it."
Raki Lu put down the meat in his hand.
"He's planning to use the Black Blade Yoru to fight Hawk Eyes?"
Beckman did not answer.
From the moment Uchiha Xin took out the Black Blade Yoru, he had not looked at Hawk Eyes.
His gaze remained fixed on Tashigi.
This action says it all.
Tashigi stared at Black Blade Yoru, her eyes glued to him.
She likes Famous Sword.
Before joining the Navy, she vowed to collect all the Famous Sword that had fallen into the hands of villains.
Black Blade Yoru is Supreme Grade Sword.
It is also widely recognized as the weapon that stands at the pinnacle of all Famous Sword.
No swordsman could refuse it.
Tashigi was no exception.
"This knife..."
She reached out her hand, then stopped in mid-air.
"Are you going to hand it over to me?"
Uchiha Xin gripped the back of the blade and handed the Black Blade Yoru, to her.
" Shigure can no longer keep up with your swordsmanship."
Tashigi glanced down at the sword at her waist.
Shigure is merely a Skillful Grade Sword.
She wasn't very strong before, so using Shigure wasn't a problem for her.
But now her physique has reached the level of Marine Vice Admiral.
He then became a member of Uchiha Xin's family and inherited his top-tier swordsmanship skills.
If she unleashes her full power, Shigure will find it difficult to withstand it.
Hawk Eyes's slashes are not something that ordinary swords and blades can withstand.
Once the blade breaks during the collision, there's no need to continue the fight.
Tashigi did not immediately catch the knife.
" Black Blade Yoru is your trophy."
"It's also your sword."
Uchiha Xin said:
"From now on, it is not."
Tashigi looked up.
Uchiha Xin continued:
"Defeat Hawk Eyes."
"This Black Blade Yoru."
Tashigi paused, her breath catching in her throat.
"Real?"
I have no reason to lie to you.
Uchiha Xin released his grip.
The Black Blade Yoru hung in front of Tashigi.
Tashigi immediately gripped the hilt of the knife.
The moment she touched it, her arm sank downwards.
Black Blade Yoru's weight far exceeds that of Shigure.
The enormous blade was also completely different from the weapons she had used before.
But she didn't let go.
After gripping the hilt tightly with both hands, the sword intent within his body surged directly into the blade.
Buzz!
Black Blade Yoru emitted a sharp, ringing sound.
The red patterns seemed to come alive.
The heavy sword intent spread along the ground, cutting cracks into the surrounding rocks.
Tashigi raised her Black Blade Yoru, and swung it forward once.
The blade sliced through the air.
A sword mark shot out hundreds of meters in an instant, cracking the ground along its path.
Tashigi stared at the knife in her hand, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.
The power that Shigure could not withstand, Black Blade Yoru could.
Slashes that used to require suppression can now be unleashed in their entirety.
The swordsmanship skills she Uchiha Xin finally found a suitable vessel within her.
"A fine knife."
Tashigi gripped her swords with both hands, pointing them directly at Hawk Eyes.
I will win.
" Black Blade Yoru will remain in my hands."
Raki Lu stood in the distance, his mouth agape.
"He gave the Black Blade Yoru to Tashigi?"
"That's Hawk Eyes's sword!"
Yasopp looked at Hawk Eyes.
"Give the sword to another swordsman in front of its original owner."
"This is troublesome."
Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke.
Hawk Eyes is angry.
Shanks remained silent.
He knows Hawk Eyes too well.
Hawk Eyes can accept defeat.
I can also accept that Black Blade Yoru was taken away.
That was the result of the duel.
But Uchiha Xin is now giving the Black Blade Yoru to Tashigi, treating it as a reward for this battle, which has a completely different meaning.
Black Blade Yoru has been Hawk Eyes's companion for many years.
That's more than just a weapon.
It is also part of Hawk Eyes Kendo.
However, it was casually given to another swordsman by Uchiha Xin.
This behavior was an insult to Hawk Eyes.
Hawk Eyes's previously calm demeanor changed.
He didn't raise his voice in question.
There was no demand for Uchiha Xin to retrieve the Black Blade Yoru.
But the long sword in his hand began to tremble.
Armament Haki covered the sword hilt as it rose upwards.
A dark, Haki instantly enveloped the entire blade.
" Uchiha Xin."
Hawk Eyes stared at him.
"I lose to you, Black Blade Yoru."
"This is the result of a swordsman's duel."
"But you shouldn't have handled it that way."
Uchiha Xin looked at Hawk Eyes.
" Black Blade Yoru now belongs to me."
I don't need your permission to give it to whomever I want.
Hawk Eyes's aura grew even colder.
"Very good."
"Then I'll defeat her first."
"I will take back what belongs to me from you."
Tashigi picked up the Black Blade Yoru.
You probably won't have that chance.
Before she could finish speaking, she had already shattered the ground.
Bang!
The rock strata collapsed on the spot.
Tashigi's body burst out of its original position.
Hundreds of meters were traversed in an instant.
Hawk Eyes hadn't expected her to act so directly.
He had barely raised his longsword when Black Blade Yoru was already slashing at him.
boom!
The two Supreme Grade Sword clashed head-on.
The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the entire island.
The ground beneath their feet cracked simultaneously.
Sword energy erupted from the point where the blades clashed, shooting out to both sides.
A rock tens of meters high was swept across by the sword energy and broken in two.
Hawk Eyes's arm jerked.
He stepped backward continuously.
The first step landed, leaving a deep crater in the ground.
The second step caused the rock layers to explode backward.
He didn't completely dissipate the power transmitted from the Black Blade Yoru until he retreated dozens of meters.
The Red Hair Pirates were completely silent.
The meat in Raki Lu's hand fell to the ground.
" Hawk Eyes was repelled in a direct confrontation?"
Yasopp tightly.
"Not swordsmanship."
"He overwhelmed Hawk Eyes with sheer force."
Beckman's Observation Haki locked onto Tashigi.
"She also has health problems."
"This kind of burst of energy surpasses that of an ordinary Vice Admiral."
Shanks stared at the footprints under Hawk Eyes's feet.
" Hawk Eyes made a careless start."
"His attention was focused on Black Blade Yoru, and he wasn't prepared to take the blow head-on."
Hawk Eyes stopped in his tracks.
A sharp pain shot through his tiger's mouth.
The borrowed longsword was not damaged, but the blade was still trembling slightly.
Tashigi didn't give him time to adjust.
She had just landed when she took another step forward.
Black Blade Yoru slashed down towards Hawk Eyes's chest.
Hawk Eyes immediately drew his sword.
clang!
The two knives clashed again.
Hawk Eyes shifted his body to the side, drawing Black Blade Yoru aside.
The black blade grazed his clothes, cutting a hundred-meter-long crack in the ground behind him.
He swung his knife in response.
A slash aimed straight for Tashigi's waist.
Tashigi spun the Black Blade Yoru, using the blade to block at her side.
The sword energy collided with the blade and shattered instantly.
Before the dissipated air currents could dissipate, Hawk Eyes swung his sword repeatedly.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several green sword energies shot out simultaneously.
Slash and block the way ahead.
The ground was sliced open by sword energy.
Cracks continued to extend towards Tashigi's feet.
Tashigi did not retreat.
She gripped the Black Blade Yoru and charged forward.
The first sword energy descended.
She swung her knife and cut it in half.
The second sword energy followed immediately.
The Black Blade Yoru, its massive blade blocking his path.
boom!
The sword energy collided with the blade and exploded to both sides.
Several slashes from behind were already upon them.
Tashigi gripped the swords with both hands and spun around once.
A black blade swept out horizontally.
