Clang!!

There was another sound of metal clashing. Kuro’s “Drunken Calabash” was lifted up from the bottom and was blocked by Mihawk. Kuro’s blade fell down and stabbed into Mihawk’s chest without turning.

Dang!

Mihawk’s blade pressed down, and the huge black blade directly pressed down the blade of Luo Gui’s blade.

Sizzle!

The moment he pressed it down, Mihawk’s black blade slashed forward on the back of the Luo Gui Blade, creating a ball of sparks and directly chopped at Kuro’s head.

Kuro turned his arm and pulled Luo Gui away from Mihawk’s black blade. He took advantage of the situation and used the blade to block the incoming blade. After blocking it, Kuro violently dropped the blade and the huge force also moved Mihawk’s black blade down for a moment. At this time, his five fingers suddenly loosened and one hand pressed directly on the surface of the black blade and pressed down hard. At the same time, his other hand held the handle of Luo Gui’s blade in reverse and directly bypassed the entanglement of the black blade and swung it horizontally towards Mihawk.

Mihawk’s eyes flashed and he directly raised the black blade “Night”, the blade was about to turn away, but Kuro pressed down hard and jumped into the air.

Dang!

The black saber that was quickly raised directly moved the Luo Gui’s blade that was swung horizontally, making Luo Gui also shake up. At this time, Kuro’s body curled up and directly rotated a few times in the air, and the blade in his hand turned into a bloody light and suddenly swept down.

Mihawk’s eyes narrowed and he raised his blade to cut.

“Hundred Shadow Slash!”

The falling blood blade suddenly scattered into hundreds of blood shadows at such a close distance, blocking Mihawk’s vision.

“Killing intent materializes? It’s all real?”

A hint of admiration and surprise appeared in Mihawk’s eyes. At such a close distance, under everyone’s tacit agreement, he was still able to do such a delicate operation. He is indeed amazing!

As the number one swordsman in the world, he had seen too many exquisite sword techniques and could naturally see the technique of this move.

The original move should only be one of the many afterimages, but under the influence of the substantialization of the killing intent, these hundreds of blood shadows are real, and there is a dangerous entity hidden in them, but Mihawk himself can’t recognize it under the cover of the killing intent.

“But, it’s fine as long as it’s one out of ten!”

It doesn’t matter if his vision is blocked, it doesn’t matter if he can’t see the only knife, it doesn’t matter if these are real.

Mihawk held the Black Blade “Night” tightly and swung it forward. The Black Blade brought with it a dark green light, as if blowing away some fog. As the blade fell, the hundreds of blood shadows in front of him were blown away by this blade and turned into nothingness.

Break through with force!

He will too!

However, after blowing it away, Mihawk was stunned. In his premonition, he should be able to find the real blade with this strike, but looking at the situation, this is actually a murderous blade, and none of them are real?

After the blood shadow blew away, Kuro was suspended in the air. It was not relying on his ability, but it was all too fast. At the moment when the Hundred Shadow Slash was launched, Mihawk killed him with one slash, causing Kuro to not even fall.

In addition to his ability, he has a powerful ability to stay in the air.

He squatted slightly in mid-air, holding Luo Gui in his right hand at his left waist and holding the position of the blade in his left hand like a scabbard.

Kuro raised his head and smiled evilly at Mihawk. Then… he pulled out his sword!

“Yuelong!”

Pop!

The air seemed to be broken and a blood-red light like a crescent moon exploded in Mihawk’s chest.

Dang!

Before the blood light was completely formed, a big black knife was suddenly placed on it, firmly blocking Kuro’s Law Ghost.

“Good idea!”

Mihawk said, “It’s a pity, it was so close!”

“Is it?”

Kuro spoke lightly, the smile on his face unchanged. “You’re the one who’s almost there, Mihawk.”

Chi!

Two wounds suddenly appeared on his right waist and ribs on the left side of his heart, and blood spurted out.

The appearance of the two wounds made Mihawk’s body shake. Kuro took this opportunity to push forward with the black blade “Night”, making him take a step back. At this time, Kuro also fell to the ground and smiled:

“Yuelong Yan returned to March.”

Mihawk’s eyes were wide open and the black blade in his hand, Night, was about to slash over with a dark green light. At this time, Kuro directly let go of Luo Gui and let Luo Gui float beside him. He didn’t make a move but said to him:

“I won, Mihawk, you are out of bounds.”

Mihawk froze and looked down at his feet. Half of his feet were outside the five-step circle they had tacitly stipulated.

Which means …

“Ah…”

Mihawk put down the big black blade in his hand and stared at Kuro. The fighting spirit in his eyes became stronger.

This made Kuro a little uncomfortable. Could this thing have caught fire?

“No way, no way, you are the world’s number one swordsman, you won’t go back on your words, right? Don’t you have any spirit? Although we don’t have any rules on the surface, the fight of a swordsman is very tacit, right? You can’t not have this little tacit understanding of a swordsman, right? No way.” Kuro shouted in a strange way.

Indeed, no one said that it must be within these five steps, nor did they say how far the battle would go, but this matter was fixed by Kuro.

He didn’t want to fight Mihawk in the first place. There’s nothing wrong with fighting to this extent. If we continue fighting, we won’t be able to stop.

Of course, he won.

What if he was forced out of the circle…

What rules? Did they say it? Are there any documents? Not to mention there are no documents, even if there are, won’t they be gone if they are torn?

“Hahaha…”

Mihawk stared at Kuro for a while and suddenly looked up and laughed heartily. “Hahahahaha!”

His arms relaxed, and the light blooming on the black saber, Night, gradually disappeared. In that smile, there was some joy and endless gratification.

Mihawk stopped laughing and said to Kuro, “No matter what, you did win. It was me who was not as good as you. I lost.”

That was indeed the case.

If they fight with their true strength, the outcome of the battle will be earth-shattering. If they don’t fight well, they will repeat the scene of Sakasugi and Kuzan in the past, and the injuries they suffered will not be easy to recover. If they don’t fight well, Kuro may take down Sakasugi and Muku and use them as legs.

In that case, what’s the use of winning? The world’s number one swordsman can’t sit still and will soon be defeated.

There is no such thing as ‘invincible’ in this world. Whitebeard is known as the ‘World’s Strongest Man’, but Kaido is known as the ‘World’s Strongest Creature’. Strictly speaking, he is the ‘Unrivaled One-on-One’ and they are both the strongest. But if Kaido really fights with the Admiral, his ‘Invincible’ will be broken and he will definitely be seriously injured and then taken advantage of.

In order to determine who is better, one can only taste it and stop.

With both sides suppressing each other, Kuro was one level higher than Mihawk.

So …

“The position of the world’s number one swordsman is yours, Luciru Kuro!”

Mihawk shouted, “You are the strongest swordsman!”
