Zoro has no intention of interfering in the duel between Kuina and Hawk-Eye; it's Kuina's duel, and he won't interfere.
But this is only this time. The next time will be his duel!
A fierce glint flashed in Zoro's eyes. He suddenly drew his sword, Armament Haki swirled on its blade, turning it jet black. Then, he swept the blade down with a single strike.
laugh!!!
A terrifying sword aura, spanning dozens of feet, suddenly burst forth, directly intercepting all the enemies on Luffy's left as he ran.
"Thanks, Zoro!"
Luffy was being harassed, and seeing this, he had no time to turn back, but continued charging forward.
The battlefield has become extremely intense!
When Luffy and his crew entered the arena, both Hawk-Eye and Kuina paused their sword duel briefly.
However, neither of them turned around; they merely glanced at each other out of the corner of their eyes.
Are you easily distracted?
Kuina stood with her sword in hand, glanced at Zoro out of the corner of her eye, then turned her gaze back to Hawk-Eye in front of her, and spoke calmly.
Upon hearing Kuina's words, Hawk-Eye withdrew his gaze from Luffy, or rather, from the straw hat Luffy was wearing.
I remembered something.
Hawk-Eye lowered his hat brim slightly, partially obscuring his eyes, and when he revealed them again, he had already regained his focused posture.
For a great swordsman like him, maintaining focus is an extremely simple matter, because focus is a necessary condition for the great swordsman's "slash" technique.
"So... can we finish warming up now?"
Kuina gently gripped the sword with both hands and placed it in front of her. A wisp of sharp Sword Intent emanated from the sword, reflecting the sunlight and seemingly transforming into a beam of light that pierced straight into the clouds.
"Yes."
Hawk-Eye held the black knife in one hand, placing it at an angle beside him. Under the sunlight, a chilling black light rippled gently across the blade of the Black Blade Yoru.
The sword in Kuina's hand is shaped like the Wado Ichimonji, slender and agile, but it is held with both hands.
Hawk-Eye's Black Blade Yoru, was broad and heavy, yet he wielded it with only one hand.
The way they hold their swords is different, their postures are different, but... they all possess the majestic spirit of a great swordsman, as if he can cut through everything and annihilate all things!
Whoosh!!
As if they were of one mind, or perhaps they had pushed their Sword Intent to its peak, the two charged out at the same time, their figures colliding once again.
bite!!!
A clear, resounding sword cry echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
Kuina and Hawk-Eye's swords clashed against each other, and the two of them seemed to be frozen in place, completely still.
Almost instantly, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from beneath their feet. It was countless scattered sword energies, like towering waves, tearing through endless ice layers and surging wildly in all directions.
This was the ultimate head-on collision between Kuina and Hawk-Eye, who simultaneously unleashed the strongest slashes of the great swordsmen.
Upon impact, the two Sword Radiance beams and sword energies, which had been condensed to the extreme, clashed and eventually shattered, scattering in all directions.
In the original story, Hawk-Eye didn't go all out during the Summit War, and he wasn't even serious about it.
In reality, the destructive power of a serious great swordsman is absolutely terrifying, let alone two great swordsmen!
Click! Click!!
The ice continued to shatter, and the aftershocks blasted outwards from around Kuina and Hawk-Eye, almost Setsuna sweeping across the entire battlefield and enveloping everyone within them.
At this point, quite a few people's expressions suddenly changed.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Doflamingo was fighting a Whitebeard Pirates captain when he saw the aftershocks of the sword energy coming towards him. He immediately frowned, reached out and created a spider web wall to block part of the sword energy.
"Alala, that's a bit too much."
Aokiji instantly conjured an ice wall, blocking part of the incoming sword energy.
Apart from that, all the powerful figures on the battlefield used their own methods to completely eliminate the aftershocks of the sword energy.
At this moment, everyone's expression turned sour, whether it was the Whitebeard Pirates or the Marines.
In fact, those present, such as Admirals Aokiji and Akainu, were powerful enough to directly shake the entire island.
If its power were unrestrained and reckless, it could even permanently alter the climate of Marineford, the island where the Marine Headquarters is located.
However, this is a chaotic battlefield.
Whether it's a Marine Admiral or Whitebeard, they can only control their own abilities; they can't just launch large-scale attacks indiscriminately, as that would be tantamount to indiscriminate attacks.
Of course, there are exceptions, like the capricious Empress Hancock.
Kuina and Hawk-Eye are going all out, clearly no longer caring that this is the battlefield of the Summit War. Without a doubt, the all-out clash between the two great swordsmen will be enough to tear this island to pieces!
This is not good news for either the Navy or the Whitebeard Pirates.
"If this keeps going, I'll really have to find a way to stop you. It's a real headache." Kizaru glanced at Kuina and Hawk-Eye with a worried expression, looking incredibly lewd.
Aside from Kizaru, the other admirals and Whitebeard himself all looked at Hawk-Eye and Kuina, clearly feeling that they couldn't let the two continue fighting like this.
The entire battlefield came to a sudden standstill due to the all-out clash between Hawk-Eye and Kuina.
However, neither Hawk-Eye nor Kuina seemed to care about the situation outside.
At this moment, both of them had entered the most serious state of mind, where only the sword existed in their hearts. Or rather, at this moment, both of them only had each other and each other's swords in their eyes.
Even if the sky were to fall and the earth were to collapse, neither of them would be distracted in the slightest.
In the next instant, Kuina and Hawk-Eye clashed once again.
boom!!
Another wave of overwhelming sword energy scattered and bombarded in all directions.
These scattered sword energies weren't strong; almost any powerful individual, especially a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, could easily block them. However, ordinary marines and pirates would almost certainly be torn to pieces under such sword energy.
The second wave of sword energy was blocked by various powerful figures.
But this time, some people really couldn't keep their composure any longer.
The battle between Hawk-Eye and Kuina has already greatly disrupted the war. Perhaps one person cannot stop their duel, but with so many powerful individuals present, it would be incredibly easy for any few to intervene and stop the fight.
"Swordsmen... you're really scary. We can't let you keep fighting like this."
After Kizaru blocked a wave of sword energy, he saw that the Marines had suffered considerable damage from it. A helpless expression flashed in his eyes as he pointed a finger at Hawk-Eye and Kuina.
Buzz!!
A golden stream of light instantly converged at Kizaru's fingertips.
Kizaru prepared to use his laser to attack the area directly between Kuina and Hawk-Eye, forcing the two to separate briefly.
Besides Kizaru, others such as Aokiji Marco the Phoenix also made their own moves to stop Hawk-Eye and Kuina from fighting.
Of these, Kizaru's movements were undoubtedly the fastest.
