Strongest Swordsman In One Piece - Chapter 239
As time flies, the sunset turns into night, but it doesn’t take long for the first light of dawn to tear the night away again, then the sun fell on the west once again as another day has passed.
Whether it’s day or night, the changes in the surrounding have no effect on the two master swordsman on the uninhabited island.
The violent explosion caused by the collision of the haki, as well as a sharp weapon constantly happens on the uninhabited island.
The original uninhabited island which is full of natural beauty has now become dilapidated.
In the dense forest, countless trees have been cut off and the cuts are terrifyingly smooth and straight. Like the dense forest, the ground is also broken, even the largest volcano in the center of the island is not spared as it has been mercilessly cut into several pieces and before the magma surged out like waves, it was dealt by a flying slash wrapped with conqueror haki.
The mushroom cloud formed by the energy that constantly changes color also rises from the uninhabited islands more than once.
This battle between the two strongest swordsmen lasted for two days and two nights.
In the past two days and two nights, the primitive ecology of the uninhabited island has been turned into a ruin, and it will take an unknown number of years for it to restore its original appearance.
Although the island’s surface has turned into ruins, the fate of this uninhabited island has been saved, because at least it was not the same as the medium-sized island that El took control of a few days ago, as it turned into countless fragments and sank into the bottom of the sea after two powerhouse battle there.
Aside from the fact that the surface is in ruins, the uninhabited island is at least safe.
After the battle is over, at the center of the uninhabited island, the ground was covered with countless flying slash and sword marks.
At this moment, both El and Hawk Eyes did not have the image of the youngest pirate emperor of the sea and the strongest swordsman in the world as they pant while sitting on the ground with their black sword, which was the current and previous strongest sword was placed aside by them.
A fierce battle that lasted for two days and two nights, whether it was the Black Sword, Shusui, or Yoru, there is no trace of damage at all, from this, it can be seen that these two master swordsmen who have reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, protect them well.
“Conqueror haki entanglement, advance level of armament haki, Emission and internal destruction, advance level of observation haki, future vision, and that innate dynamic vision, as expected of the strongest swordsman in the world, you’re really a monster…”
El was sweating profusely at this time while out of breath with a grin on his face. “No wonder, despite going through hundreds of battles no one has left a scar on your body so far, just your observation haki and eyesight alone, few people can beat on this.”
“you’re also not that bad, your observation haki not only just compose of future vision but at least it incorporates three abilities…”
At this time, Hawk Eyes can no longer maintain his cool and high appearance as he pants and sweats profusely while looking at El who is nearly half his age with the corners of his mouth rising slightly while speaking. “This battle… I lost!!”
“No, you didn’t lose.”
El shook his head and said. “Although I can use my devil fruit ability to win this battle, however, once I do it, this battle will become meaningless as this battle is originally a battle of pure swordsmanship, so devil fruit ability should not be counted in it.”
“Whether it’s swordsmanship or Haki, I didn’t have any advantage from you, so this battle should be regarded as a draw.”
El picked up his sword and stood up while grinning at Hawk Eyes. “I had a great time in this battle, the title of the strongest swordsman in the world will be placed with you for the time being.”
“It won’t take too long for my swordsmanship to surpass you, and then it will be your real defeat by then.”
After saying that, El flies out of the uninhabited island with a smile on his face.
Looking at El’s back that was getting smaller, Hawk Eyes said with a smile. “I really lose in this battle!!”
Because at this moment, it’s a little bit hard for him to stand up now while El still retains some stamina. That is to say, El can kill or behead him on the spot with his remaining stamina.
“Three haki that at peak, mind reading ability and a monstrous physique…”
Picking his sword at the ground, Hawk Eyes use his sword as a crutch as he stood up and look straight at the sky where El had disappeared with a smile on his face. “This era had monsters such as you, it’s really nice!!”
Since Shanks lost his arm in East Blue, Hawk Eyes also lost his only opponent and his swordsmanship has also been stagnant.
Those powerhouses with a powerful devil ability or haki and physique may be able to draw or defeat Hawk Eyes in battle, but no one in this world can defeat him in pure swordsmanship, including Shanks who loses his arm.
Shanks without losing his arm is a swordsman at the same level as Hawke Eyes, but after he loses his arm, his swordsmanship level has dropped a few levels, causing his haki to become stronger than his swordsmanship.
Although using haki, Shanks can still be tied with Hawk Eyes in battle and even slightly better than him, but if they simply compete in swordsmanship, then Shanks who lacks an arm will be completely abused by Hawk Eyes. Since Shanks lose his arm, Hawk Eyes hasn’t fought against him in all these years.
Losing his only opponent, Hawk Eyes who’s a loner traveled all over the world to fulfilled his duty as warlord of the sea while seeking a worthy opponent that can defeat him.
It is a pity that countless people have challenged him in these years, trying to get the title of the strongest swordsman in the world, but no one was able to succeed so far, on the contrary, his title as the strongest swordsman in the world become more famous, only second to the four pirate emperors.
If El did not appear, then Hawk Eyes’ lifestyle will continue until the year 1520 of the Sea Circle Calendar when he will encounter Zoro and then after the Paramount War, he will decide that since he can’t find an opponent, then train a worthy opponent yourself.
But now, Hawk Eyes has found a new opponent, although he is slightly inferior to El because the opponent’s physique is stronger than himself.
But if you lose, you lose, and he will not make any excuses for himself.
Without using devil fruit ability, just relying on swordsmanship and haki, a powerhouse that is slightly better than himself, finally appeared again after a few years.
After this battle, Hawk Eyes’ blood boiled completely and he regained his drive to become stronger.
Next time they battle, he will never allow El to defeat him once again.
