Shanks: "Here comes the good part!!"
Dracule Mihawk: "Indeed, Zoro's talent is visibly evident!!"
Back in East Blue, when Mihawk heard Zoro say just one sentence, he immediately concluded that this kid would achieve great things in the future!!!
And now, looking at the video, his judgment was accurate...!!!
Jinbe: "Zoro over there has become this strong already!!"
Momonga: "Even Lord Mihawk is going all out, so that Zoro must have suppressed his strength..."
Vista: "That's right... That kid is still so young, his future achievements will surely be even more astonishing!!"
Kuroobi: "Craaaazy~~~"
Arlong: "Over there, I not only made Mihawk fight me proactively, but also forced Mihawk to go all out~~~"
Zoro at this moment was looking at the screen with incomparable excitement—!
He stared fixedly, afraid of missing any tiny detail!!
This battle, for others, might just be a spectacle~~~
But for Zoro himself, this was absolutely an unmissable lesson!
What else could be more suitable than learning from his own body...?
"Good! Since the World's Strongest Swordsman has spoken, then I will also unleash my full power and fight to my heart's content!!"
[Cultivating until now, this is Zoro's second battle!!!]
[His swordsmanship has fiercely improved through repeated training with Luffy~~~]
[Coupled with Armament Haki and Observation Haki, this makes his swordsmanship even stronger!!!]
[In fact, in the battle just now, Zoro didn't gain any upper hand, but he didn't show any trace of fear!!!]
[And battling with such a truly strong swordsman is what helps his swordsmanship grow the most!!!]
Mihawk spoke in a deep voice: "The title of strongest is merely a temporary honor in my possession. I expect someone to eventually take it from me! On the other hand, you, at such a young age, have already cultivated such powerful swordsmanship. Compared to your peers, you are an even more monstrous existence!"
"!!!"
When Mihawk said these words, the entire chat room seemed to gasp in unison~~~
X. Drake: "Is he actually stronger than Mihawk at the same age...??"
Shanks: "Charlotte Smoothie? Is he really that strong... Such an absurd evaluation~~~"
Momonga: "He's already this strong at this age...!!!"
Shanks: "Hehehe! Mihawk, aren't you boasting over there? You never said such things to me before~~~"
Dracule Mihawk: "In a duel with a swordsman, if I said that, it would definitely be what I truly believe!"
Upon hearing Mihawk's personal affirmation, the hearts of the shadow watchers trembled fiercely once again!!! They confirmed that the green-haired young man's talent was truly no less than Mihawk's...!!!
["Young man, I have not yet asked for your esteemed name!"]
[Mihawk held his sword in one hand, making a "sheathing" motion~~~]
[This motion is a gesture of challenge between swordsmen!]
[Of course, this motion is only performed in front of a respected swordsman~~~]
[If you're just some cat or dog, a sword intent directly sweeps you away. Who needs to be polite with you...!]
["Roronoa Zoro!"]
[Zoro loudly stated his true name!]
[It was strange to say, but when Zoro spoke, the hilt of his Wado Ichimonji was like a growth on his teeth; it actually remained motionless, with no signs of falling off~~~]
[Without years of continuous practice, it would be impossible!]
["Dracule Mihawk!"]
[The moment his words fell, Mihawk pulled back his right hand, while his left hand grasped the sword hilt!]
[He gripped the sword with both hands simultaneously, pulling the hilt to the right side of his cheek~~~]
[In his yellowish-brown pupils, a fierce sword intent had already brewed~~~]
[He thought to himself, this trip to Marine Headquarters... was worth it!]
[For a great swordsman like him, winning or losing a battle is no longer what he pursues~~~]
[What he pursues is the exploration of the Sword Way!!!]
[Everyone knows that Mihawk's swordsmanship has already reached the pinnacle of this world!!!]
[But only when standing at the pinnacle can one clearly experience that kind of loneliness and boredom~~~]
[When one's own Sword Way is refined to its extreme, and can no longer be further improved, it is also a pain that cannot be alleviated!!!]
[Only by clashing with a truly strong swordsman can one possibly break through the bottleneck of one's own Sword Way, break through oneself, and have the opportunity to go further on the path of the Sword Way...!!!]
[Before this, Mihawk would occasionally go to Shanks to spar swordsmanship, just to break through!!!]
[However... Shanks's swordsmanship is strong, but his focus isn't on swordsmanship~~~]
[And Zoro is exactly the opposite: Haki as auxiliary, swordsmanship as the main focus...!]
[This is Mihawk's ideal opponent!!!!]
[Facing such an opponent, Mihawk could no longer contain the excitement in his heart~~~]
[His pupils constricted—!]
[The surging aura that had been continuously rising before suddenly erupted at this moment!]
[Sword intent surged wantonly, like a rolling river, rising with the flow!]
[Above the high sky, the cloud layers instantly billowed like waves. The entire sky seemed to tremble, as if it could collapse and scatter at any moment!]
["Hoo—!"]
[Wild winds rose~~~]
[Sweeping across the entire Marine Headquarters!]
[But everyone present understood that this was not true wind, but an aura stirred up by sword intent...]
[If it weren't for Luffy's prior release of Conqueror's Haki, then at this moment, many Marine and pirate weaklings would surely be knocked out by this sword intent~~~]
[When this sword intent condensed to its extreme, Mihawk unleashed a single slash. The shattered sword intent, like a vast river, surged and pounced towards Zoro!!!]
[A seemingly casual slash, but the sword intent had already formed an endless crisis.]
[Sword momentum like a rainbow, swirling and reversing~~~]
[The air was sliced apart at this instant, and a countless number of sparks flew~~~]
[Zoro moved horizontally in the air. The Wado Ichimonji on his mouth was instantly enveloped by a surge of sword intent, and it clashed head-on with the sword intent coming from Mihawk~~~]
[He was like a perfectly honed dancer, in this torrent of sword intent, sometimes moving left and right, sometimes stopping, sometimes advancing...]
[This short dozen-meter journey]
[He could clearly feel the power of "softness" and the will of "toughness" in Mihawk's sword intent!!!]
[It was as if he stood on a river of sword intent!]
[Above him was a fierce sword intent gale, sweeping down and crushing him!]
[Below him were sword intent waves, surging like dragons!]
["Indeed, it's the strongest...!!!"]
[Zoro's bloodline instantly soared!]
[Excitement!!]
[Agitation!!]
[No Armament Haki, just sword intent!!]
[This is a swordsman's battle!!]
["Three-Sword Style - Lone Traveler! ---"]
[Zoro also tacitly didn't use Armament Haki. His whole body, like an ape, plunged into Mihawk's sword momentum!]
[Zoro swung his swords one after another, his movements like shadows, swords like rainbows...!]
[His movements weren't very fast, and they were somewhat strange, but in Mihawk's eyes, they sparkled brilliantly!]
[Only Mihawk, who was close at hand, could truly understand what Zoro was doing!]
Jewelry Bonney: "Hey! Is this idiot dancing a strange dance?"
Capone Bege: "Heh! What you said, it really does look a bit like it!!"
X. Drake: "Speaking of which, are they fighting? Why aren't their swords touching?"
Urouge: "Their sword intents have already clashed."
Dracule Mihawk: "This kid..."
Shanks: "What???"
Dracule Mihawk: "He's sensing my battle intent within my sword momentum..."
X. Drake: "I... I don't quite understand..."
Jinbe: "If you don't understand, then shut up! You should take advantage of this rare opportunity and watch carefully!"
Zoro himself actually didn't understand either~~~
He looked at his own "dancing a strange dance" on the screen. Could that me over there... already sense sword intent?
[Clash clash clash!!!]
[Shusui's blade sliced through a swirling mass of sword intent, instantly letting out a piercing sound!!!]
[Countless sparks danced in the air~~~]
[Snow Empress moved horizontally above him, and her sword intent instantly enveloped his position!]
[Zoro's figure danced and twirled. The Wado Ichimonji in his mouth rolled up a mass of sword intent, and it converged head-on with the sword intent approaching from Mihawk~~~]
[He was like a dancer who had honed his skills to perfection, sometimes moving left, sometimes right, sometimes stopping, sometimes advancing in this torrent of sword intent...]
[This short journey of a dozen meters]
Shanks: "The spectacular moment is here!!"
Dracule Mihawk: "Indeed, Zoro's talent is evident to the naked eye!!"
Back then in East Blue, when Mihawk heard Zoro say just one sentence, he immediately concluded that this kid would surely achieve great things in the future!!!
And now, looking at the video, his judgment was correct...!!!
Jinbe: "Zoro over there has already become this strong!!"
Momonga: "Even Lord Mihawk has to go all out, so Zoro must have suppressed his strength..."
Vista: "That's right... That kid is still so young, his future achievements will surely be even more astonishing!!"
Kuroobi: "Craaaazy~~~"
Arlong: "Over there, I not only made Mihawk fight me proactively, but also forced Mihawk to go all out~~~"
[This short dozen-meter journey, he and Mihawk seemed separated by thousands of troops and horses!!!]
[However, this distance was constantly shrinking~~~]
[The entirety of Marineford seemed to halt at this moment. Everyone's gaze was fixed on this battlefield...]
[They had never seen such a bizarre battle of swordsmen, but no one would underestimate this fight~~~]
[One must know, that is the World's Strongest Swordsman!!]
[Within this surging sword intent, Zoro stubbornly carved out a path. As he approached Mihawk, Shusui and Snow Empress simultaneously crisscrossed in front of him, releasing their sword intent!!!]
[Three-Sword Style: Fire Demon Inferno!! ---]
[Burning sword intent roared from Zoro's body, like countless sword intent flames dancing!!!]
[Around him, sword momentum suddenly spread out!]
[Forming a sea of fire constructed by sword intent!!!]
[Vaguely, Zoro's figure was like a dancing sword intent flame, instantly igniting into a raging inferno!!!]
[The sword intent flames surged and billowed, instantly suppressing the sword intent waves before him~~~]
[With an unyielding stance, he charged towards Mihawk's main body!]
["Well met!!!" ]
[Mihawk was overjoyed~~~]
[He finally felt Zoro's sword intent!!!]
[......]
[He felt the momentum of "fierceness" and the "unwavering resolve to go forward" from Zoro's suggestion!!]
[With a flick of his hand, the Black Blade Yoru met Zoro's figure with an invincible posture, directly slashing down with a single strike...]
[Only to see the soaring flame sword intent fiercely surge up in an instant~~~]
[Dense, intricate cracks appeared in an instant~~~]
[Immediately following, Assault!!! ---]
[Sword intent, like flames, instantly burst forth!!!]
[However, Zoro did not retreat because of this. Instead, he used this bursting sword intent as cover, directly slashing out from within!!!]
[Three-Sword Style: Fire Demon Inferno - Ultimate Slash!! ---]
[Shusui and Snow Empress at this moment seemed like two demon horns on Zoro's head, and Wado Ichimonji became his fangs!!!]
[With an unyielding momentum, Zoro's figure, enveloped by surging sword intent, fiercely slammed into Mihawk's body~~~]
[Mihawk said nothing, the Black Blade Yoru immediately changed, using the blade as the origin point, gathering all surrounding sword intent into it, then, with a posture of breaking a thousand surfaces with one point, fiercely thrust out!!!]
[Assault!!!]
[The sword intent of the two clashed, instantly erupting!!!]
[Containing no Haki whatsoever, it was purely sword intent!!!]
[The clash of sword intent instantly transformed into sky-high sword momentum, wildly sweeping outwards at a speed indistinguishable to the naked eye~~~]
[Screeching sounds!!!! ---]
[Ground, walls, defensive structures...]
[It was as if countless bullets were wildly strafing them!!!]
[Clear marks of slashes, like hideous wounds, continuously appeared on them!!!]
[Those Marine Rear Admirals, Vice Admirals, and the pirate captains and team leaders with weaker combat power, also pushed their Armament Haki to the fullest at this moment, protecting themselves~~~]
[They could clearly judge that this continuously leaking and shooting sword momentum, any single one of them possessed quite terrifying killing power!!!]
[Assault!! ---]
[Suddenly...]
[An unknown level of sword momentum, too late to be released, thus formed a massive and grand sword momentum explosion!!!]
[Countless sword momentum fiercely erupted at this moment, forming mushroom clouds made of sword momentum, suddenly soaring upwards~~~]
[Zoro and Mihawk simultaneously realized that if this sword momentum was not released, it would turn into an effect similar to "self-destruct"...]
["Charge up!! ---"]
[The two almost tacitly charged up at the same time!!]
["Heh!!!"]
[A sword intent suddenly shot upwards, and other sword momentum, like thousands of troops and horses, followed this sword intent and rushed towards the sky!!!]
[Rumbling~~~]
[The originally surging cloud layers, at this moment, were like curtains, being crazily rolled upwards!!!]
[The sky suddenly became incomparably clear, and one could clearly see above the nine heavens~~~]
[But this wasn't over yet~~~]
[That endless sword intent at this moment was as sharp as a blade, rushing into the sky above the clouds in a blink of an eye!]
[Assault!! ---]
[Above the high sky, an incomparably earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted~~~]
[This enormous sound descended from the sky, causing the entire Marineford to shake violently~~~]
[When everyone looked up at the sky, they all couldn't help but gape!!!]
[Because that sky...]
[It... split open!! ---!]
