Seeing the azure dragon of sword energy, seemingly capable of piercing through everything, roaring towards him, Uya showed no fear on his face. Instead, he revealed a look of great interest.
In Uya's eyes, the trajectory of this sword energy suddenly became very slow, slower and slower, until it seemed to stop.
The composition of this sword energy seemed to break down into countless tiny fragments, completely dispersed, with each fragment clearly visible: Sword Intent, sword energy, Sword Radiance... everything was disassembled.
Although it was only a fleeting moment to the outside world, Uya had already analyzed the sword energy and Sword Intent, and the realm of this great swordsman, countless times.
bite!!!
The sword energy whistled past, Uya finally raised the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword in his hand, gently blocking it horizontally. Shanks ' Azure Dragon Sword Energy directly collided with the blade, producing a crisp metallic clang.
No matter how powerful the sword energy was, it could not break Uya's sword, nor could it make Uya take a step back, nor could it make Uya's hand holding the sword tremble even slightly!
boom!!
Finally, this sword energy, now fully solidified, exploded in front of Uya Uya, tearing the ground in front of him into crisscrossing cracks. Uya, however, maintained his horizontal sword stance without the slightest change.
This scene surprised everyone slightly, but not too much. After all, Uya was someone who had killed Kaido of the Beasts. It would be unreasonable if Shanks could repel Uya with just a casual sword strike.
"His strength is indeed formidable; he blocked my attack without even taking a single step..."
Shanks gazed at Uya from afar, a sharp glint in his eyes. He seemed to transform into a sword capable of piercing through everything, standing there in the arena.
At this moment, Shanks was no longer his usual carefree self; instead, he exuded an imposing aura, revealing a kingly presence that seemed to rule the world!
This is the real Red-Haired Shanks!
The Four Emperors who reign supreme over the seas!
"So..."
Shanks gripped his sword with one hand, and as he inhaled, a wisp of energy suddenly flowed from his body, Setsuna ascending along his arm, circling the sword in his hand, and finally attaching itself to the blade, turning the entire sword pitch black.
Armament Haki!
Shanks, as one of the Four Emperors, may not have the same attack power as Whitebeard, the same defense as Kaido of the Beasts, or the same bizarre abilities as Big Mom, but his Haki is the strongest!
Swordsmanship stands at the pinnacle of the world, Haki stands at the pinnacle of the world!
"Cut!!"
Shanks' gaze was somber. He knew that Uya's swordsmanship was still a level below his own, and if he couldn't comprehend that level, he would forever remain just a swordsman, never a great swordsman.
Even so, he would not underestimate Uya, after all, Uya's true strength was not in swordsmanship, but in the power that was enough to defeat the Big Mom Pirates and annihilate Kaido of the Beasts!
laugh!!
With a low shout in his mind, Shanks suddenly swept his sword, like a streak of light, the dark blade seemingly slicing through the night and shattering the dawn.
A dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the tip of the sword. This inch of light was not as grand as the previous sword energy, but it relied on the power of Armament Haki to condense the sword energy into a single point!
This sword strike also incorporates Shanks' unparalleled Haki!
A flash of cold light, like Setsuna, disappeared in Setsuna, arriving before Uya as if ignoring space and time!
"What an amazing sword strike!"
Even Uya couldn't help but show a hint of admiration when he saw this sword. Then, he suddenly swept the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword actually collided with the sharpness in mid-air!
Sizzle! Sizzle!!
The sound was like gears grinding against steel, but that tiny white glint seemed to contain endless, dazzling light, like a sun!
However, shockingly, even when the sword energy was condensed into a single point and imbued with Haki attack, this Sword Radiance still couldn't make Uya retreat a single step!
Uya's straightened Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, its tip pressed against the dazzling white sword Sword Radiance, made a constant grinding sound, but the entire sword did not tremble in the slightest.
Buzz!!!
Finally, the sound of the grinding wheel stopped abruptly, and the dazzling Sword Radiance ceased its trembling. In Setsuna, it seemed as if thousands of rays of light converged, making one involuntarily close their eyes.
Unable to break through Uya's power or repel Uya, the Sword Radiance exploded to both sides, and a terrifying sword aura shot into the sky, tearing a trench in the ground in front of Uya and even spreading to the sea, carving out an abyss!
"The boss actually withstood that move head-on!"
"Isn't this enough to make him back down?!"
The Red Hair Pirates ' officers looked at the crisscrossing ravine and the deep sea that had been cleaved into a chasm in the distance, and couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.
This is ridiculously strong!
Such a terrifying sword strike, the mere aftershock nearly cleaved the island in two and split the sea in two, yet it couldn't force Uya to retreat a single step, nor could it even make Uya's sword tremble in the slightest!
"Is this guy's body even Kaido of the Beasts's?"
"No, he must have used some kind of ability... His body doesn't seem strong, and when he just blocked the boss's attack, he didn't use swordsmanship; he just used the sword as a shield."
The swordsman calmly analyzed the situation. Although Uya hadn't moved an inch after receiving two of Shanks's slashes, he still had great confidence in Shanks.
Because he knew in his heart that there was a world of difference between a swordsman and a great swordsman, even though there were only one word between them. There were many swordsmen on this sea, and each of them was a powerful figure who was famous throughout the sea.
However, very few can be called great swordsmen. Hawk-Eye, Red... Only these sword masters who stand at the pinnacle are called great swordsmen!
"It seems that such a strike is insufficient to deal with you."
Shanks watched as Uya easily parried his all-out attack, showing no fear on his face. Instead, he became even more serious, and his aura suddenly hardened.
Since ranged attacks are ineffective, let's fight in close combat!
Whoosh!!!
In the next instant, Shanks ' figure suddenly flashed, as if turning into a blur, and rushed directly in front of Uya, slashing down with his sword diagonally!
However, Shanks was fast, but Uya was even faster. Almost as soon as Shanks rushed in front of Uya and his sword began to fall, Uya began to swing his sword. But this sword was even faster, and it swept across the room, blocking Shanks ' sword right in the middle!
bite!!!
The two swords clashed together. This time, no sword energy leaked out; instead, it was all contained within, forming a beam of light. As they collided, two soaring Sword Intent shot into the sky.
Before the astonished eyes of countless people, the sky, which had been covered by thick clouds for who knows how long, suddenly cracked open, revealing a deep abyss!
Wherever the sword strikes, it cleaves the heavens and splits the earth!
"Swordsmanship that can hold its own against Hawk-Eye is indeed very strong."
After taking Shanks's sword strike, Uya's expression remained unchanged. He simply looked at Shanks calmly and said...
Shanks chuckled and said, "I have to make you take this seriously."
Shanks could tell that Uya hadn't gotten serious yet, and was still responding to his attacks with a calm and detached attitude.
"That depends on just how strong your swordsmanship is."
Uya held the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword in one hand, pressing it against Shanks ' sword. As he spoke calmly, he suddenly retreated, then drew his sword again, sweeping it horizontally.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shanks met the attack with his own sword.
The two swords clashed once more, Shanks ' Sword Intent finally revealed the power of a great swordsman, subtly suppressing Uya's Sword Intent. Similarly, Shanks ' sword edge also suppressed Uya's sword edge.
However, despite having the upper hand in Uya, Shanks was still secretly shocked by Uya's strength and speed. Although his swordsmanship was inferior to his, Yuya managed to keep pace with him with his immense strength and incredible speed!
However... the difference in swordsmanship level cannot be offset simply by strength and speed!
A sharp glint flashed in Shanks' eyes as he swung his sword again, engaging Uya. In an instant, sword light flashed continuously, and the aftershocks of sword energy spread out, tearing apart the earth and sky.
The entire island was gradually ravaged by the two men's attacks, and the clouds in the sky were marked with streaks of slashing energy!
This scene could be clearly seen even on the high seas far from the island, leaving countless people in awe and awe.
"They actually... suppressed Uya?"
"Even Uya was suppressed by the sword of the Four Emperors Red? He's the one who killed Kaido of the Beasts!"
"His abilities were probably just countered by Red's Haki, and coupled with the difference in swordsmanship, he was suppressed... It seems that sweeping aside the Four Emperors won't be so easy."
It was only at this point that the various factions began to realize that they had been so shocked by Uya 'Uya strength in easily sweeping away the Big Mom Pirates and killing Kaido of the Beasts that they had forgotten the terror of the Four Emperors.
No matter how strong Uya is, he is facing an emperor who stands at the very top and reigns over the sea!
Although each of them possesses unique abilities, they all stand at the pinnacle of the world in some aspect. Dealing with one or two might be possible, but to sweep them all away is virtually impossible! (To be continued.)
