The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 236 Petrochemical Spring Thunder
"Please advise."

Mihawk didn't rely on him. Although Sasaki Kojiro seemed to be standing very casually, with flaws all over his body, there was no flaw at all. As a swordsman's intuition, if he believed the illusion in front of him, he might be defeated immediately.

But if he stays in a stalemate, he will still be overwhelmed by the aura exuded intentionally or unintentionally by the opponent, so he might as well take the initiative to attack and die.

The black sword rose from bottom to top, and the devastating and huge sword light was like cutting through the sky, slashing at Sasaki Kojiro. It was so fast that it came to him in almost the blink of an eye.

But Sasaki Kojiro remained motionless, without even opening his eyes. With a twist of his wrist, he aimed the blade of the dry rod at the attacking sword light, and a flash of time flashed by, and the huge sword light was instantly split into two. Rubbing Sasaki Kojiro's sides away, the sea behind him was divided into three sections.

"I see, is this your swordsmanship? Although it is not organized and has no exquisite skills, you can still feel the heat of the sword contained in the sword light."

Mihawk wanted to rush forward, but paused because of Sasaki Kojiro's comments, but he immediately recovered.

Mihawk has been obsessed with swordsmanship since he was a child, but he did not have the guidance of a famous teacher. All of his swordsmanship was studied by himself with passion. He focused on breaking through all methods with one force and pursuing the ultimate goal of killing the enemy with one sword without the need for a second sword.

Seeing that his strongest sword was easily dispelled by the opponent, he was not discouraged, but excited. This is the strong man he was looking for. He had a hunch that after this battle, as long as he survived, his sword skills would be outstanding regardless of whether he won or lost. Will go to the next level.

But he also knew that a duel between swordsmen would only end with the death of one party, but he was not afraid. It would not be a bad idea to die at the hands of a powerful swordsman.

The strongest knife was broken, and Mihawk could only pursue close combat.

"Ding ding ding..."

In the eyes of others, the two stood facing each other, Mihawk restored [Black Saber Night] into an impenetrable blade wall, and his hands turned into afterimages. An ordinary person might not even need it for a second. It will be minced into pieces.

However, Sasaki Kojiro seemed to be completely motionless, the pole was still pointing obliquely at the ground, his eyes were still closed, but whenever the shadow of the knife wielded by Mihawk was about to touch him, there would be a flash of light, It collided with [Black Knife·Ye] and sparked.

"Aha!"

Mihawk did not stop, constantly squeezing his own potential, trying to break through Sasaki Kojiro's blockade, create loopholes, and finally launch a fatal blow.

But Sasaki Kojiro's defense was like a huge mountain towering in the clouds, making it difficult for Mihawk to cross. No matter how much his speed increased, no matter how tricky the angle of the sword was, it would all be resolved.

After persisting for a few minutes, Mihawk's physical strength began to decline rapidly, and he had to find a way to break the situation.

At this moment, Sasaki Kojiro's eyes suddenly opened and he swung his sword horizontally.

"not good!"

Mihawk quickly placed the [Black Knife Night] across his chest.

"When~"

A crisp metallic sound sounded, and Mihawk was repelled by the ravaging sword light, leaving a long mark on the deck before he stopped.

"I have seen your Excellency's swordsmanship and determination, and I will respond with the strongest sword."

"Please advise." Mihawk replied with an excited smile on his face. This is the highest respect for a swordsman, defeating the opponent with the strongest.

Sasaki Kojiro nodded slightly, bent his knees slightly, and held the pole with both hands on the side of his head.

"Petrified Spring Thunder, use a knife to prove..."

"Buzzing..."

"what happened?"

"The sword...is trembling..."

"What a strong sword intent!"

All the swords around him trembled under the sword intention of Sasaki Kojiro. Mihawk held the [Black Sword Night] tightly to prevent it from falling away.

"[Secret Sword·Yan Hui]."

Sasaki Kojiro seemed to have arrived in front of Mihawk in an instant. In his eyes, the opponent seemed to be divided into three, and three slashes were slashed from the front, left, and right directions at the same time, and the target was his throat.

"Three swords at the same time! Which one is real? No! They are all real! How is it possible!?" Mihawk was shocked. He could also do three sword shadows at the same time, but two of them must be speed. The afterimage left behind too quickly makes it impossible to cut out three real swords at the same time.

This is Sasaki Kojiro's unique skill, and it is also his Noble Phantasm. It is a sure-kill sword that "simultaneously" cuts through the opponent with blades approaching from three sides and takes the head directly.Strictly speaking, this is neither a Noble Phantasm nor a phenomenon that borrows the power of magic.

One flash from the real world, and then two flashes overlapping each other completely simultaneously regardless of the concepts of time and space, resulting in slashing attacks from three directions.It was the [Multidimensional Zelretch (Kischur Zelretch)] that transcended factors such as speed, sophistication, and false attacks.An unknown martial artist who does not know magic or magic has reached the highest realm of "Second Magic" despite limitations.

"Being able to die under such a skill, even if you die... you will have no regrets!" Mihawk knew that he could not withstand the knife, so he felt relieved physically and mentally, closed his eyes and waited for death.

However, he only felt a slight pain in his neck and warm blood flowed downwards, but the scheduled death did not come.

Mihawk opened his eyes and touched the small wound on his neck. Opposite him, Sasaki Kojiro had put away his knife and stood, looking at him with a smile on his face, and his anger suddenly rose.

"Are you trying to insult me?"

"Your Excellency misunderstood."

"Then why don't you kill me!?"

"Because a swordsman like you should not die here, under my sword. Your talent in swordsmanship is very outstanding. It can be said that your swordsmanship has just begun. Wouldn't it be a pity if you were killed by me at this time?"

"you……"

"I'm sorry to tell you that your swordsmanship is crude and your skills are completely lacking. It seems that you have no guidance from a famous master. However, your foundation is very solid. If you get guidance, your swordsmanship will improve by leaps and bounds. I am not talented, so I am willing to give you some guidance. "

"...Why?" Mihawk was silent for a long time, his eyes were very complicated, and he asked.

"Maybe it's due to the influence of Master Adam. Excellent juniors are always worth cultivating. Furthermore, since you can't find an opponent, why not train one yourself?"

Hearing this, Mihawk was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha... interesting! It's really interesting! I won't show mercy to you!"

"As it should be."

"Okay! You are qualified to teach me swordsmanship!"

"Frightened."

"Hahaha, Mihawk, you have today too! Hahaha!" Seeing the sparring end, Shanks ran over and hugged Mihawk's shoulders and teased.

"Am I someone who can't afford to lose in your eyes?" Mihawk glanced at Shanks and secretly sighed at the thought of making friends.

"Isn't that right? Ever since we had a tie for the first time, you came to fight with me if you had nothing to do, and you insisted on deciding the winner. Isn't that why you can't afford to lose? Now you are at a disadvantage in the hands of senior Kojiro."

"Hmph, it sounds like you can defeat him."

He and Shanks have a strength radius of eight liang. Neither one can do anything to the other. If he can't beat him, the other party will definitely not be able to beat him. What are you talking about here?

"I can't beat Kojiro-senpai, but it doesn't matter, as long as he is our companion."

"I'm willing to fall."

"I'm a pirate! Aren't I the one who surrenders to himself? Do you think so?" Shanks turned to ask his companions.

"Hahaha, that's right!"

"The captain is a bastard! A hopeless bastard!"

"Shut up! You bastards!"

"Hahaha……"

"Okay, let's continue with the party!"

"Oh!"
