Aside from this incident, he and Mihawk had only fought once.
That was three years ago in the East Blue, when they clashed once, which ended because Clow Reed's sword shattered.
But now, this knife can't be broken.
What Mihawk wanted to see was Kuro's amazing 'Phantom Beast Sword Technique'.
On the high seas, those who have clashed with Kuro know the power of his swordsmanship. Although he often calls his moves "Mumei Kamikaze Ryu," others prefer to call it "Phantom Beast Swordsmanship" because when he strikes with his sword, a phantom beast accompanies him.
While Kuro is known for his speed and incredibly fast swordsmanship, his true trump card is the "Mumei Shinpu-ryu" style. All his current techniques are based on the foundation of the Mumei Shinpu-ryu style.
"Let's start the battle that was left unfinished three years ago anew."
Kuro dropped two fingers from the tip of the blade, gripped the hilt with both hands, and raised it high above his head, facing Mihawk.
"The Unknown God's Romantic Murder Sword..."
Mihawk gripped the black sword 'Night' tightly and laughed, "I'm not going to let you cut me down so easily."
"A dragon!"
brush! !
A golden light rushed over in an instant, catching everyone off guard. At least among the spectators, few reacted in time. They could only see Kuro raise his sword, and then the sword light appeared in front of Mihawk in the next instant.
"Wow, that's fast..."
Shanks remarked, "It's so much faster than before."
As he spoke, he subconsciously touched the scar on his chest.
The power of this strike was very similar to the one that had struck him years ago.
Ben Beckman sat there smoking a cigarette, watching the scene with a serious expression. "It's even more troublesome now."
This Marine is not as mild-mannered as other Marines. If Ben Beckman used to think Kuro was a threat, now he has been upgraded to the level of Akainu, no, perhaps even more violent than Akainu.
That kind of murderous aura, Akainu doesn't have.
Ben Beckman was no fool; he could easily assess the situation at sea.
This guy's resume is too dazzling; it's already exaggerated enough based on what they know.
From the moment he entered the Marineford War, his power skyrocketed. Shiki was definitely killed by him, and he was lucky enough to gain the power from him.
Besides, Redfield, Lothar, Bondi Wald, Gryphon, Blackbeard, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, all of them had a fight with him. Some died, some are still alive, but no matter what, his position was promoted rapidly.
He's a candidate for general; the next step is general.
At his age, it's highly likely that he'll become the Fleet Admiral in the Navy. If this man, brimming with murderous intent, takes command, and given his willingness to wage war against the Four Emperors, the future of the world might not be so bright.
After all, even Akainu wouldn't easily start a war with the Four Emperors, but this one is different.
It could very well be a full-scale war!
And now...
“Hey Shanks, you know this is a setup, right?” Ben Beckman couldn’t help but ask. “We’re here because of your sudden idea, and then you even called Mihawk… Why are you helping this Kuro? The higher he goes, the worse it is for us.”
"Hahaha, why...?"
Shanks scratched his head and laughed, "There's nothing wrong with it. Mihawk is my good friend, and he's always wanted to fight Kuro. This is indeed an opportunity. I'm also wary of Teach, and I'm just here to try my luck. If Teach were here, that would be great. It's a pity Teach isn't here... He was indeed used, but he would be much better off as an admiral than he is now. Luffy can't be defeated by him."
"Luffy?"
Ben Beckman pondered for a moment and said, "You really believe he can defeat Kaido and Charlotte Linlin?"
Shanks smiled slightly, staring at the island in the distance, lost in thought. After a long while, he finally uttered, "I believe in him. He will definitely be Joy Boy!"
when! !
When the black light swept towards Mihawk, Mihawk fearlessly slashed with his sword. His black sword, 'Night,' also emitted a dark green light, intersecting with the vertically slashing black light.
Mihawk appeared behind the black light, and as the black light swept past, Kuro's figure also appeared, standing back to back with Mihawk.
call...
The sea breeze blew, brushing against their bodies.
laugh...
With a soft sound, Mihawk glanced at the small tear that had appeared on his collar, smiled slightly, and turned to look at it.
Kuro then turned around, revealing a gaping hole in his clothes across his chest, and a small, blood-stained gash inside.
“It’s that familiar feeling of drawing blood,” Mihawk said.
"Yes, it's not over yet."
Kuro raised the blade again, swiftly spreading it with two fingers before gripping it with both hands once more, chanting, "Mumyo Shin Furyu Secret Technique..."
Whoosh!
The seawater along the edge of the island was churning, and suddenly huge waves surged upwards.
It wasn't an ability, but simply the water stirred up by swordsmanship that caused the Great Wave Clan to be disturbed.
"Azure Dragon!!"
As Kuro swung his sword, the waves from the half-island area behind him swirled into water dragons that flew behind him, roaring silently at Mihawk. Then they rushed forward, surrounding Mihawk and snapping their jaws at him!
"It looks like water, but it contains slashing attacks. If you go head-to-head with it, once you get hit, it will probably be the same 'dragon' move."
This time, Mihawk was fully comprehending the situation, not just watching Kuro make moves against others.
He described this move with an appreciative tone.
"The Illusionary Beast Sword Technique truly lives up to its reputation, but..."
Mihawk twisted the blade and swung it away suddenly.
Buzz!!
A ring of dark green flying slashes quickly extended backward from the direction he swung his sword, forming a circular arc that sliced through the oncoming water dragon's body. The slashes shredded the water dragon upon contact with it, rather than cutting it smoothly.
This is a domineering slash with added internal fragmentation!
The only way to deal with this profound mystery is to completely shatter it.
After the slash shattered the water dragon, a circle quickly spread towards Kuro's side.
Kuro narrowed his eyes slightly, held the Autumn Water upright, and said, "The Secret Technique of the Mysterious God's Style - Black Tortoise!"
Bang!!
The dark green slash suddenly stopped. In front of the slash, a phantom resembling a tortoise shell appeared, with a snake coiled on it. The snake's eyes were staring directly at Mihawk.
"Oh? A lock-on effect of aura? It paralyzes people so they can't move, and this layer of defense is a shield formed by densely intersecting slashes. Very impressive!" Mihawk exclaimed again.
He was already very satisfied with what he had seen with his own eyes and experienced with his own hands!
"That's how it should be, Kuro! Show us your powerful swordsmanship so we can have a proper contest and see who's stronger!" Mihawk exclaimed excitedly.
"Shut up, you guy who never announces your moves!" Kuro roared.
