Boom! Boom! Boom!!
On the island, the earth continuously cracked open. During the clash between Uya and Red-Haired Shanks, occasional bursts of sword energy would cause terrifying fissures to appear in the ground. (Source: Tianlai Novels www.23TXT. com)
It's practically impossible to watch the fight between the two up close; even watching from a distance is something only the executives of the Red Hair Pirates would dare to do.
Red-Haired Shanks ' swordsmanship was executed with unparalleled skill, and countless streams of light, like a dense nebula, completely enveloped Uya.
The battle seemed to be gradually turning in Red-Haired Shanks' favor, and the Red Hair Pirates ' executives were all extremely excited.
Uya defeated Kaido of the Beasts Big Mom Pirates. If Shanks could defeat Uya, it would almost certainly prove that Red-Haired Shanks is stronger than the others!
In this way, the Red Hair Pirates might even have a chance to directly challenge for the title of Pirate King!
Most people were extremely excited, seemingly already witnessing Shanks' ultimate victory, but few noticed that the Red Hair Pirates ' vice-captain, Ben Beckman, remained expressionless.
On the battlefield, Shanks, whose expression was obscured by countless sword lights, actually appeared quite subdued, showing no excitement whatsoever for someone about to win.
Only Beckman knew that Uya hadn't used her full strength at all.
Only Shanks could truly grasp how terrifying Uya's vast, ocean-like power would be if it were truly unleashed!
During his battle with Uya, Shanks suppressed Uya with his superior swordsmanship, but he gradually sensed the terrifying power contained within Uya.
That power... left him feeling vaguely shocked!
"The power to kill Kaido of the Beasts..."
Shanks took a deep breath. He knew that once Uya used that power, he would only be able to fight Uya with the agility of his swordsmanship, and would no longer be able to fight him head-on like this.
Fortunately, Uya's swordsmanship hadn't reached his level yet. Thinking this, Shanks felt he still had a chance of winning.
However, at this moment, Uya, who had been clashing with him, suddenly spoke up calmly.
That's about enough.
What do you mean, almost done?!
Upon hearing Uya's words, Shanks' face immediately showed a strange expression.
Uya looked calmly at Shanks, or rather at the sword in Shanks' hand, and at his own sword. His gaze was fixed solely on the sword, and he seemed to have transformed into a sword himself.
Sword after sword, he parried lightly. Although he seemed to be suppressed by Shanks, in reality, Uya's Sword Intent became more and more refined and restrained, eventually turning into a terrifying sharpness!
Back at Marine Headquarters, Uya was able to condense his Sword Intent to its extreme, fusing it with Sword Radiance light and sword energy to create a great swordsman's Sword Domain, reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
After sparring with Shanks, and analyzing and comprehending the swordsmanship of the second great swordsman, Red-Haired Shanks, Uya gained a deeper and clearer understanding of the pinnacle of swordsmanship in this world, the so-called realm of the great swordsman.
In the next instant, Uya suddenly added a bit of power to his sword and brought it down. Shanks swung his sword to block, but he failed to block it and was directly knocked back several steps by Uya's sword!
Shanks, who was knocked back, showed a look of shock on his face as he looked at Uya. He was not shocked because he was knocked back by Uya, but because the Sword Intent in Uya's expression suddenly underwent a strange change!
As the pinnacle of swordsmanship and a great swordsman, Red-Haired Shanks was all too familiar with this change!
"Could it be that you...?"
Shanks stared at Uya in astonishment, and in the next instant, like a spark igniting a prairie fire, that slight change in Uya Sword Intent finally triggered a chain reaction!
Just as quantitative change leads to qualitative change, the Sword Intent becomes the sharpest point, soaring into the sky. A terrifying Sword Pressure spreads out in Setsuna, and the earth around Uya, which was already full of ravines, suddenly develops terrifying cracks, and finally collapses completely!
This collapse continued to spread, like a strange domain where everything within it would be torn apart and shattered!
Even Shanks was astonished, let alone the swordsmen of the Red Pirates. Their eyes widened instantly, and their jaws nearly shattered.
"This is impossible!!!"
"That guy, he actually..."
The sword masters all wore expressions of disbelief.
At this moment, even those officers who were not sword masters felt a terrifying and strange power. In their surprise and uncertainty, they couldn't help but ask the sword masters around them.
However, these sword masters were all in a state of disbelief, completely ignoring the questions from others, their minds buzzing.
Great Swordsman!
This is a great swordsman!!
On this vast ocean, swordsmen can become renowned figures, and there are many swordsmen of varying strengths.
Only those who stand at the pinnacle of the path of the swordsman can be called great swordsmen!
There are only a handful, or even fewer, of great swordsmen on the entire ocean!
The title of "Great Swordsman" is not actually a name for a level of skill. It's more like the Four Emperors or the World's Greatest Swordsman—it's a title, a name representing the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
Uya actually stepped into this level during the battle and reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
Buzz!!
The Sword Intent soared into the sky. Whether it was Sword Intent, Sword Radiance, Sword Pressure, or sword pressure, Uya was almost the strongest!
The strongest Sword Intent, the strongest sword energy, the strongest Sword Pressure, and the strongest Sword Radiance converge to create the strongest Sword Domain!
At this moment, not only the Red Hair Pirates ' officers on the island, but almost everyone who was secretly observing was shocked and horrified. Those who knew swordsmanship showed expressions of disbelief and astonishment.
"This feeling is... how is this possible?!"
Previously, all that could be sensed was Shanks' sword, which stood at the pinnacle of swordsmanship and suppressed Uya's sword. But suddenly, Uya's sword broke through the suppression and also reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship. In comparison, it was even more terrifying than Shanks ' sword!
This caused countless swordsmen, and even those who didn't understand swordsmanship but grasped the essence of the sword, to show expressions of disbelief.
There are far too many powerful people on this ocean.
Those in the first tier, the pinnacle of the ocean, include figures like Kong the Steel Bone, the World Government's Commander-in-Chief; Sengoku, the Marine Admiral; Garp, the hero; the Four Emperors who reign supreme over the ocean; Hawk-Eye, the world's greatest swordsman... There are so many top-tier powerhouses that you can't count them all on one hand.
There are countless powerful individuals on this vast ocean, but those who can stand at the pinnacle of swordsmanship, those who can reach the peak solely through swordsmanship, are extremely rare!
The only ones still alive are Shanks and Hawk-Eye. As for Dark King Rayleigh, Golden Lion Shiki, and others, they haven't appeared for a long time.
Now, besides Hawk-Eye and Shanks, a third person has emerged who has reached the pinnacle of the path of swordsmanship!!
Although compared to Uya's terrifying achievements—defeating the Big Mom Pirates and slaying Kaido of the Beasts —his pinnacle swordsmanship might seem like mere icing on the cake, it's still enough to shake countless swordsmen in the world by reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship! (To be continued.)
