Chapter 168 Porusalino: Am I the World’s Greatest Swordsman? I Am!

"This - what exactly is -"

The sea has become a complete purgatory, with shipwrecks everywhere, including human limbs. After Sakaski's magma block fell, the seawater boiled directly. Those pirates who were lucky enough to fall into the water and were not directly killed by the magma blocks falling from the sky instantly became cooked unlucky eggs. Only a few guys were lucky enough to escape the explosion and high temperature, and managed to save their lives after struggling to leave the sea.

"Hahaha!"

Wilson was lying on a fragment of the deck, breathing heavily, his eyes full of fear and panic. The moment Sakaski took action, he completely gave up any resistance, directly lowered the lifeboat on the flagship, and then jumped on.

As expected, his huge flagship was accidentally hit by a block of magma and then exploded. The lifeboats that had not had time to get away were affected and instantly turned into pieces. As an ability user, Wilson almost fell into the water and sent it away directly. However, fortunately, he came across a deck floating on the sea after the flagship was broken, and he hurriedly escaped to it.

"Are these three natural monsters, walking humanoid natural disasters!!!"

It's over, it's all over. Although lives have been saved, the pirate fleet that was finally accumulated has been completely destroyed. Joining the Beasts Pirates with his subordinates and joining the Beasts Pirates alone are completely different things. The former may even be appointed as a pillar, while the latter can be rewarded with a senior cadre.

"How can there be such unreasonable power! They are all devil fruits!! Damn it!!!"

Wilson looked at the naval ship in the distance with a malicious look and cursed.

However, the next moment he couldn't help but stiffen, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead - although he couldn't see clearly, he could feel a murderous aura locking him tightly on the opposite warship. Who could be on that warship, across such a long distance, to intimidate the somewhat famous man living in the New World with his murderous aura alone? How could it be anyone else?

"Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, rock berry fruit user, Sakaski!"

Wilson looked around and found that there was no means of escape, and couldn't help but look sad. Every word he spoke at this time seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

…

At the same time, with the full efforts of Engineer Kuzanbabu, the competition venue between Porusalino and Hawkeye was finally completed - with the island they were just on as the center, the sea surface covering dozens of kilometers in radius was covered Frozen, it became an excellent competition venue.

"brush!"

The slash that penetrated the sky soared into the sky, and a huge gap was directly cut into the gloomy clouds in the sky. The nearly ten-meter-thick ice surface created by Kuzan was also directly penetrated.

"As expected of the person specially named by Senior Porusalino, Mr. Hawkeye's swordsmanship is really exaggerated!"

In order not to interfere with the competition between the two, and in order not to be affected, Kuzan returned to the island after creating the ice sheet. The location of the island was still a bit far away from where the two were fighting, but Hawkeye's sky-high slashes were really amazing, and he could clearly see them from here.

"sharp!"

Porusalino put his hands in his pockets with a faint smile on his face. No one could tell that Hawkeye's powerful slash just missed him within one centimeter.

"With such a level of slashing, I think it won't take long for Mr. Hawkeye to point his sword at the throne of the world's greatest swordsman!"

"The word 'amazing' is a bit too false to come out of your mouth from Lieutenant Porusalino who was able to evade with ease."

Hawkeye grinned and said, holding the knife in both hands and slashing three times in a row without any hint of timidity or hesitation.

Previously, Porusalino could dodge Hawkeye's slash with ease just by relying on his body skills acquired from practicing the Sixth Form of the Navy (while controlling the distance and pretending to be cool); but facing Hawkeye's current three attacks, Dao seemed to be sparse, but in fact it blocked all the angles he could dodge. Porusalino couldn't help but put away his entertainment thoughts and activated the ability of the Shining Fruit.

"Mr. Mihawk, you-"

In the blink of countless photons, Porusalino suddenly appeared in front of Eagle Eye, and kicked his long legs of nearly 1.8 meters mercilessly towards Eagle Eye's face.

"Have you ever been kicked by the speed of light?"

"Dang! Bang——!!!"

Relying on the beast-like intuition of a swordsman and the tyrannical body control gained from practicing swordsmanship for nearly twenty years, Hawkeye placed the long sword across Porusalino's shining golden left foot and his own face at the critical moment. between. Although he blocked Porusalino's light-speed kick at this critical moment, the huge impact of the light-speed kick still blasted him directly into the ice.

Porusalino did not expect that his kick would completely eliminate Hawkeye - as expected, in less than a second, Hawkeye, who was knocked down ten meters of ice, stood again. on the ice.

Although he was wet all over and his expression was extremely serious, Hawkeye's fighting spirit did not diminish at all. Not only did his sharp eyes not dodge because he was restrained by the blow, but he stared straight at Porusa. Lino:

"...It's so fast! Even with my reflexes, I can barely keep up!"

"As expected of the fastest devil fruit, the natural sparkling fruit!"

"Where, where..."

Hawkeye is not the kind of person who will be nagging for a long time after just one move. After expressing his surprise and admiration, the long knife in his hand came out again, and the tornado-like rotating slash attacked Boru again. Salino.

"Speed ​​- uh, wrong line, laser!"

Countless shining photons gathered at Porusalino's left foot again. After they were full, with the sound of "BIU", a bright yellow laser burst out.

"boom!"

The attacks from both sides were stagnant for less than a second before they spiraled into the sky and then dissipated.

At this time, Hawkeye also realized that his slashing attack might not be of any benefit in front of the speed-type long-range monster Polusalino. After a sudden thought, he used both feet to exert force and suddenly rushed to Polusari. In front of Nuo, the long knife was already fiercely held out.

Porusalino did not dodge, he stretched out his right hand and slapped the blade.

"Buzz!"

During the roar of the impact, Hawkeye's long knife was directly swung away. His whole arm suddenly became numb, and Porusalino's move almost made him unable to hold the knife in his hand.

It was not Porusalino's purpose to break Hawkeye's offensive - just as the strongest defense is offense, Porusalino's left hand also extended its index finger at the same time as it broke Hawkeye's offensive. Aiming at Hawkeye's throat.

Photons flashed together, and in an instant the deadly laser burst out again.

"biu!"

Hawkeye was obviously prepared, and there was no look of panic on his face. The long knife that was swung away seemed to be alive, and he actively blocked it again at an incredible speed and angle.

"Well!"

Of course, the laser is not that easy to block. Although the famous sword that has been strengthened by the armored haki will not be penetrated by Porusalino's laser, the terrifying power still makes Hawkeye feel as if his arm is about to be broken, and he is directly blasted. Fly out.

"The power is so terrifying! As expected of Lieutenant General Porusalino!"

"Concession!"

Although the two active attacks were frustrated one after another, Hawkeye still had no intention of stopping. After casually wielding a horizontal slash that was even more powerful than before, his body exploded towards Porusalino again.

Upon seeing this, Porusalino raised the corners of his mouth, clasped his hands together and then suddenly separated them. Countless photons from the shining fruit quickly converged into the shape of a long sword between his two palms.

"This is Tian Cong Yun Sword! I'm here to teach you how to use the sword, Mr. Mihawk!"

The laser slash swung by Tian Cong Yun Sword met Hawk Eye's slash, and Porusalino, who was holding the laser sword, also flew to confront Hawk Eye holding the long sword.

…

“Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!”

In the middle of the ice, the continuous explosions made people's ears hurt. In just a few seconds, Porusalino's Tiancongyun sword collided fiercely with Hawkeye's long sword no less than a hundred times.

"I didn't expect that Lieutenant General Porusalino is also a powerful swordsman! What an unexpected surprise!"

As the two swords were dueling, Hawkeye couldn't hide the excitement and admiration in his heart. Although he likes to challenge all strong men, swordsmanship masters are his favorite opponents as a swordsman.

Porusalino also played very well. Although he is usually an old Yinbi who likes to fly kites, this does not mean that he does not like fierce confrontation - that is the romance of all men.

"Hahahaha, I think swordsmanship and other things are all illusory. Speed ​​and strength are the true meanings that should be pursued!"

"well said!"

Not only is Hawkeye's evaluation of Porusalino getting higher and higher, but Polusalino's evaluation of Hawkeye is also getting higher and higher in his heart: although it is still far from the world's greatest swordsman that he will become in the future. But the current Hawkeye should have no problem suppressing Kuzan, and even has a fight with Sakaski.

Apart from anything else, the sword, which looked heavy, was as light as a toothpick when Hawkeye swung it. And even if he lifts his weight lightly, he can still keep up with Porusalino himself in terms of strength and reaction speed - from this point of view, it is extremely appropriate to say that Hawkeye is a monster.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang!"

The sound of gold and iron clashing became more and more intense, and the frequency was so high that even an ordinary downpour was no more powerful than that.

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"

Hawkeye became more and more excited, and the long knife in his hand became faster and faster, and became more and more powerful. In this high-intensity battle where the body could be separated at the slightest chance, not only did he not feel tired at all, but he seemed to be possessed by the protagonist's halo, and he was gradually breaking through himself.

If he had played for a few more minutes, Hawkeye might have moved up a rank, but Porusalino would not have given him this chance - after a few minutes of excitement, he, who was naturally fishy, ​​had entered sage mode. It's a sign, start preparing to decide the outcome with one move.

"when!"

After another duel, Porusalino retreated sharply. Seeing this, Hawkeye, who was in high spirits, couldn't help but forcibly stopped his attack and frowned:

"Lieutenant General Porusalino, what are you..."

"It would be too boring to fight like this, and the ice around us is about to be completely destroyed by the two of us. Mr. Hawkeye, why don't we decide the outcome with one move?"

Porusalino laughed.

"Can!"

Hawkeye nodded in agreement. As the swordsman who is best at slashing, in his opinion, he would never lose if one move determines the outcome.

"Then it's settled, one move will determine the outcome! However, don't blame me for not warning you, Mr. Hawkeye. Although my next move is a sword move, it may be a bit powerful... How about you first Run 399 meters?”

"No, no matter what sword moves, just do it!"

The innocent Hawkeye did not realize the seriousness of the problem at this time, and grinned, "Let's compare whose sword moves are more powerful!"

…

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Wilson never thought that anyone could make such a heart-rending scream - even the middle-aged fisherman who had been pierced by thousands of porcupine needles through his body before. There is a 70% to 80% level of such screams.

His screams even made the surrounding sea seem to ripple slightly.

But it's not his fault. It really can't be blamed on him. Faced with such a situation, anyone can probably only scream and scream.

——Although he wanted to resist when Sakaski came to him, he had no chance at all. After a simple duel between the two moves, Sakaski's arm transformed from magma pierced his chest, and all his internal organs were instantly burned. A large amount of blood was directly evaporated without a chance to flow out, and a magma fist as big as a cannonball stretched out from his back.

When Wilson was unconscious, he heard the demon named Sakaski say:

"...It's really boring."

…

For Hawkeye, the most orthodox swordsman, his most powerful move is actually the simplest sword-drawing slash - after entering the state of human-sword fusion, all his domineering energy, sword intention, and physical strength are evaporated to limit. Get rid of all the bells and whistles, use the most direct sword, and then kill the enemy.

Feeling the increasingly strong aura on Hawkeye, Porusalino smiled slightly but did not make any move.

Hawkeye did not stop or slow down his movements because of Porusalino's reaction. In his opinion, Porusalino, who was motionless with his arms around him, was just like him, preparing to belong. His most powerful killing move.

Finally, the aura on Hawkeye's body strengthened to the extreme, and the long sword covered with armed domineering energy in his hand became completely different from before - yes, he became the strongest black man in the world who will be famous in the future. The knife has a chaotic blade with a heavy D-shape, and it looks like a supremely fast knife with twelve skills of "night".

"Lieutenant General Porusalino, please witness my strongest blow!"

Hawkeye raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Black knife - flash!!!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, a cyan slash that eclipsed the entire world suddenly appeared. Even with Porusalino's monster-like reaction, when he reacted, the slash had already reached less than the tip of his nose. Five centimeters.

(It is indeed regarded as Hawkeye's strongest blow. It has unparalleled power and unparalleled speed. He can kill the enemy in an instant just by using his sword... It's a pity...)

"God time!"

With the launch of this move, the world in Porusalino's eyes seemed to have pressed the pause button. Whether it was Hawkeye's slash that was too fast for humans to understand, or the breeze in the sky, it seemed as if it had stopped.

However, he knew that this was not stillness, but a slowdown thousands of times.

"Although it is said to be a giant sword of light, how to make it look like... Hmm... It's so difficult..."

"Is it the Xuanyuan Sword full of emotions from time travel? Or is it the sword in the hands of the mysterious Four Noa? Or is it the shining golden sword of deviation?"

"Oh, no matter what, come on as you like!"

…

In Hawkeye's eyes, the fact that Porusalino had not reacted when he launched his strongest attack meant that the latter was defeated. Although the slash that was beyond the scope of human understanding was launched by himself, he himself could not dodge or resist it.

(It seems that in this competition, it’s me...that’s...?!!)

In the eyes of the eagle eye, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of Porusalino. The light blocked his cyan slash and dyed the cyan slash that had taken away the brilliance of the world into gold. !

Then, the light grew bigger and brighter - before Hawkeye could fully react, it had already reached the limit of his vision!

Eagle Eye finally saw clearly what the light looked like now - it was clearly a huge golden sword that was unbelievably huge but had an unusually simple shape!

(What kind of sword is this?! How can there be such a sword?! There are so many golden colors...)

Hawkeye completely lost consciousness, the long knife in his hand fell to the ground, and blood overflowed from his mouth - however, the golden giant sword was still high in the sky, still quite far away from him.

Seeing Hawkeye like this, Porusalino smiled slightly. Completely different from that grand appearance, the golden giant sword disappeared out of thin air, leaving not even a photon behind, as if it had never appeared.

Hawkeye, who was lying on his back, breathed heavily and said in a bitter voice:

"……what is that?"

"The Sword of Damocles, the ultimate swordsmanship in my understanding,"

Porusalino smiled and said, "Or you can call it 'the giant sword of light that never swings'..."

"...I can make people give up resistance without using any force, but my mere appearance declares my defeat...Is this the ultimate in swordsmanship..."

(No, this is just my tongue...)

"You can understand that, but this is my way of swordsmanship, and it may not be suitable for you."

"……Been taught a lesson!"

Hawkeye tried his best to force out a smile, "What other procedures are there for the King's Shichibukai? I will fulfill them after I recover."

"Go to the Shampoo Islands. Someone will contact you when you get there."

"Okay!... I hope we can have the chance to fight again in the future!"

Porusalino smiled: "When your swordsmanship is higher, come to me again. I don't want to subdue you with one move... By the way, I will introduce you to a swordsman with great potential. Shi, you may be able to improve yourself by sparring with him.”

"Please say!"

"This person's name is Shanks, and he is nicknamed Red Hair. He is a trainee who has been training with the Roger Pirates for... many years. He has already shown extraordinary strength at a young age and has a high level of swordsmanship. He stormed into the Grand Line from the East China Sea and has not yet entered the new world."

"...Shanks, I know."

…

"Whether it's the previous 'Sand Crocodile' Crocodile or today's 'Eagle Eye' Mihawk, they are all the younger generation of pirates who watched the execution of the Pirate King in Rogue Town..."

The "Moyu" sailed quietly on the sea, while Kuzan walked out of the cabin while talking like this. He also held a tray in his hand. On the tray were two drinks with straws in them.

Just like Sanji, the sexy cook of the future Straw Hat Crew, Miss Jessica, the head chef on the "Fish", is not only good at various dishes, but also has a lot of experience in desserts and drinks-these two cups are "good" The "QQ Nonono Bua Pu Fruit Tea" that she drank so much was what she had just made with her own hands.

"So you won't tell me that our next third target is also a young pirate, right? Senior Porusalino."

Although he and Porusalino carried out the recruitment mission of the Shichibukai, to be honest, Kuzan did not know the specific list of personnel - he was just like those networks in the world before Polusalino traveled through Like the novel author, he only knows the plot a little bit ahead of the readers.

"Thanks~"

Porusalino, who was lying on the lounge chair basking in the sun, reached out to take the drink handed over by Kuzan and took a sip happily, "You know? Kuzan, our world government must pay attention to a balance no matter what it does. …”

"……so?"

"The seven candidates for the King's Shichibukai cannot be of pure human race, otherwise there will be suspicion of racial discrimination; they cannot be purely male pirates, otherwise there will be suspicion of discrimination against women; similarly, they cannot be all young people, Otherwise, it will not only make people feel disrespectful to the old guy, but also not very reliable..."

"I think your words, old man, are already disrespectful enough, Porusalino-senpai,"

Kuzan twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, "And to do this deliberately, it seems really disrespectful..."

"Well~ Oh, by the way, help me chill it, I like drinking ice~"

Porusalino handed the remaining half glass of drink to Kuzan very skillfully.

"...So you still haven't said who the third person is."

Kuzan sighed, and activated the fruit ability as if giving up the struggle, chilling Porusalino's drink to the most suitable temperature for drinking.

"The problem is that you don't know him, he is a real old guy... The Red Earl who is imprisoned in the city is considered to be the oldest among pirates, right? But even the Red Earl, he is still the younger brother in front of others. …”

"Hey, is it true?"

"Of course it's fake~"

"I just said -"

"The Red Earl is not qualified to be someone's little brother. After all, he only chose to go to sea to become a pirate because he admired the other person... Maybe it's the relationship between idols and fans?"

"...What kind of monster is this!"
