Strongest Swordsman In One Piece - Chapter 268
*Boom!!*
With the slash of a sword, a deafening sound of an explosion suddenly sounded.
Inside the mushroom cloud filled with dense dust, El had already pulled out his sword and wrapped it with dark red lightning as he collided with Fujitora’s technique, Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger.
Just like Gravity Blade: Hell Journey, Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger is one of Fujitora’s strongest techniques.
The principle of this technique is to accumulate a lot of gravity on the blade and then slash it out, the gravity will be like a flying slash, as it releases a huge amount of gravity horizontally, which will knock away anything in its path, including Fujitora’s enemies, buildings, trees, and whatever else that is unfortunate enough to be in the attack radius. The force is so strong that it easily destroys the ground and buildings.
This technique looks the same as the Spear of Elbaf from the giant race, but the power contained in it is even more amazing than the Spear of Elbaf.
Although the power of this blow is a little bit inferior to Hakoku sovereignty which is performed by two people, on the other hand, its quality is, even more, astonishing than the Hakoku sovereignty, because the technique of Fujitora uses a rule type ability.
The power of rules is unreasonable and incomprehensible.
Just like the surgical field of the Op-Op Fruits, with just one slash of weapon in the surgical field, it can ignore the distance and quality.
The Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger is also a kind of rule-type ability, it’s capable of ignoring the mass of things to destroy all of them.
If you want to resist the attack from gravity, you either have the ability to nullify the effect of gravity or you have the strength to overcome it. Or… you can also use Haki to withstand it.
El has all of it.
Although the power of gravity belongs to invisible and intangible things, El can also use these invisible and intangible things as long as he uses the awakened ability of the Float-Float Fruit.
However, instead of consuming a huge amount of stamina to use the awakened ability of the Float-Float Fruit, El chose to use his haki to withstand gravity.
On El’s sword, it’s entangled with conqueror and advanced armament haki, and just like Fujitora’s repelling field to block the Spear of Elbaf just now, it submerged the air and resist gravity that came in front of him.
“This kind of power is incredible…”
Although he couldn’t see it with his eyes, Fujitora was still able to sense the terrifying energy completely resisting his own attack.
A rule-type ability and a power on a different level, the two tsunami-like energies collided together, and in an instant, the mushroom cloud filled with dense dust that cover a range of dozens of miles was directly blasted away.
The two people who were hidden under the dense cloud of dust appeared again under the blue sky.
However, with the continuous strong technique, all the flowers, trees, protruding things, and even the buildings closest to them were all turned into powder.
In addition to being full of cracks, the ground is also dented in a large circle because of gravity and repelling field, as well as the shock wave that erupted from the air cannon.
So if someone looks from the top, they will find that El and Fujitora are not on the flat ground, but inside a hemispherical crater.
When the energy fluctuations formed by gravity and haki dissipated, El and Fujitora started a pure swordsmanship battle.
The battle of the top powerhouse is that simple.
First, use a strong technique to test the opponent’s strength, and after finding that the strong move can’t defeat the opponent, it will turn into a battle of skills, experience, and Haki.
Since if they continue to use a strong technique, then the party who uses the strong technique first will definitely be the one that consumes the most stamina and falls into a disadvantage the fastest.
Because the other party only needs to defend or even evade to make the opponent waste a lot of stamina in vain.
First is the Spear of Elbaf with twenty times the speed, and then is the advanced armament haki and conqueror haki entanglements, even if it’s El, he doesn’t dare to consume his stamina unscrupulously.
After all, the person standing in front of him is a peak powerhouse who is in his prime age in all stats.
After El’s stopped using 20 times speed amplification and physical skills, he started a sword battle with Fujitora, who also did not dare to consume too much unnecessary stamina.
But soon, Fujitora just like Hawk Eyes, Shanks, and Rayleigh, took the initiative to end this battle of Haki, skill, and experience, instead, he once again use his devil fruit ability, because the young man in front of him was simply too strong.
It has been more than a year since the tied battle with Hawk Eyes. Originally, El’s strength was changing every year, and in the past year or so, he has continued to train and realized his talent.
Over the past year, although El’s swordsmanship has only improved a little, it has already made a qualitative leap and because of the improvement of swordsmanship, El’s omniscient state has become even more incomprehensible.
Originally, this state was used to bridge the gap against the peak powerhouse who have more experience than him.
However, as El’s combat experience becomes more abundant, his omniscient state is no longer about bridging the gap with the peak powerhouse but widening the gap between himself and the other peak powerhouse.
The current omniscient state is the real invisible in one on one battle.
In particular, El found Fujitora’s flaws with omniscient state from time to time, and then he used the More-More Fruit to increase his speed or strength, which caught Fujitora by surprise.
If it weren’t for Fujitora’s unique observation haki, there was almost a moment that he was almost injured by El’s sword slash, which would leave permanent scars even if he recovered.
“Gravity Blade…”
Fujitora, who took the initiative to end this swordsmanship battle distanced himself from El then as he was about to put his sword back to sheath but the next second, his complexion changed dramatically.
Without the slightest hesitation, Fujitora hurriedly entangles his sword with Advanced armament haki. “It’s a pity…”
In this regard, a trace of regret flashed in El’s eyes.
“Is this the awakened ability of the Float-Float Fruit?”
Fujitora, whose big move was interrupted, speak in a deep voice with a little cold sweat on his forehead.
Just now, his sword almost liquefied.
In other words, if it wasn’t for Fujitora’s armament haki being strong, his sword just now would be the same as Shanks’s weapon, one of the twelve supreme grade swords which were liquefied by the Float-Float Fruit ability.
