Hawkeye never calls out moves, so you can't tell the difference between his ultimate and basic attacks.
"So, you don't have any moves?" Kuro asked the question he had been wanting to ask all along.
He had known Mihawk for so long, but he had never seen him shout out any moves when he swung his sword.
To this, Mihawk replied, "Sword skills are nothing more than slashing, thrusting, and flying strikes. Why bother with so many fancy moves? Instead of shouting out moves when you're about to draw your sword, you should just make the sword move faster. I once taught a man whose move names were quite good, but unfortunately, they weren't powerful enough. In comparison, a silent strike is much better."
"Do you even know what a sense of ritual is?!" Kuro roared, veins bulging. "Reciting the moves is the most basic etiquette!"
This means he was insulted along with the others.
Mihawk smiled slightly, said nothing more, picked up his black knife, and charged forward.
Kuro swiftly slashed two fingers towards the Autumn Water Blade, and a huge white tiger phantom appeared behind him.
"The Mysterious Art of the Unknown God's Style: White Tiger!"
"roar!!"
The white tiger phantom roared, and Kuro then slashed down with a vertical slash. The white tiger rushed out, and its huge claws directly enveloped Mihawk, startling the latter.
"A guaranteed kill within range?"
He raised his sword and unleashed a massive slash that split the ground in front of him with a smooth, large crack. The slash cleaved the white tiger phantom in two, causing it to collapse to either side and gradually disappear.
Mihawk leaped across the split path in the middle, soaring into the air and slashing heavily at Kuro with his sword.
call!
The fierce wind whipped at Kuro's hair, making his eyelids twitch. He looked at the large black sword that emitted an eerie glow under the sun, and suddenly his figure flashed, retreating rapidly.
This strike cannot be blocked head-on!
"An interesting intuition, but it's useless."
A slight smile appeared on Mihawk's lips as he slammed down, striking the ground directly.
Buzz!!
The massive dark green slash blocked Kuro's vision as he retreated. The slash that followed was so powerful that it could obscure half of the space.
Boom!
As the ground trembled, a chasm split open beneath Kuro's feet, and the island, which was not connected to the seabed veins, split apart. Seawater surged from the ground, and before the tremor had even begun, the enormous slash had already reached Kuro, engulfing his figure.
"Bah!"
The instant the slash engulfed Kuro, a crimson Vermilion Bird spread its wings and cried out, bursting forth directly from the dark green light, heading straight for Mihawk.
"A body formed by slashing, and this slashing can be endlessly regenerated. I see. The phoenix of the phantom beast. This is quite similar to Marco."
Mihawk addressed the charging Suzaku, saying, "But it's not without a way to break it. As long as the power is strong enough to destroy the body formed by this slash in one blow, then this move will be broken! Therefore..."
He gripped the sword hilt with both hands and lifted it upwards again. The same massive slash as before flew up and crashed into the Vermilion Bird's body. This massive slash was not like the previous one, which was as continuous as a tidal wave. Instead, it was full of destructive power. As soon as it made contact, the Vermilion Bird's body naturally collapsed, as if it had melted.
As the Vermilion Bird disappeared, the slash passed right through, reaching all the way to the other side of the ocean, creating a deep, indistinct chasm in the sea.
The power of this strike...
"Oh? Mihawk is getting serious," Shanks said with a laugh.
Ben Beckman, puffing on a cigarette, said, "When we competed against each other before, this is where things get serious."
"Hahaha, that was so many years ago..."
After Shanks finished laughing, he touched his left shoulder with his right hand and said wistfully, "Since I lost my hand, I've lost some of my fun."
Before his hand was broken, he often competed with Mihawk, which was a lot of fun.
"Disappeared?"
Meanwhile, Mihawk, having shattered Suzaku with a single strike but failing to see Kuro's figure inside, narrowed his eyes, paused for only a moment, and then looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, Kuro appeared high in the sky, not using his ability, but by stepping on the air and using Moonwalk to move.
As he moved, he held his eyes high, which were covered in golden light, and they shimmered in the sunlight.
"The ultimate mystery of the unknowable divine wind..."
The sky darkened at that moment, rumbling with the light of thunder, as if a roar echoed through the gloomy sky.
"Oh? That ultimate secret technique?" Mihawk's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
"Huanglong!!"
Boom!!
A golden dragon descended from the dark sky, landing directly on Qiu Shui's blade and coiling around it. With Kuro's shout, he didn't descend but simply swung his sword downwards, and the golden dragon that had just coiled around the blade pounced directly at Mihawk.
"A fusion of the Phantom Beast Sword Technique?" Mihawk squinted. "Is this the complete ultimate technique?"
"This is just the initial stage, let's taste its power first!" Kuro said through gritted teeth.
The ultimate technique of Mumyo Shinpu-ryu is itself a sword aura strike, a great strike that combines the four ultimate techniques. It's not the close-quarters sword strike that Kuro has always used, which is already an advanced technique.
The one currently in use is the original form of 'Huanglong'.
A long time ago, his 'Yellow Dragon' had already reached the point where it could be fused with the blade.
"I see."
Mihawk reached up and lowered the brim of his hat, then gripped the black sword 'Night' tightly again and swung it upwards with force.
It was still a slash, but this slash was not huge at this moment. Instead, it was thin and resembled an ordinary slash. However, when this slash met the yellow dragon that was descending from the sky, the yellow dragon's huge mouth suddenly snapped shut, biting the slash.
The dark green slash, like the moon, was emanating from a golden dragon that held the dark moon in its mouth, causing the surrounding area to change color.
Boom!!!
The violent explosion erupted at Huanglong and Zhanji, unleashing a massive shockwave that instantly shattered the island into pieces, almost like tiny particles. Similarly, the surrounding sea split into raindrops at that moment, effectively hollowing out the surrounding area. As the raindrops fell, the sea was restored to its original state.
The island that landed there is completely gone.
All that remained was the small cylinder on which Mihawk stood, and Kuro in the sky.
"At this rate, no amount of islands would be enough."
Kuro reached out and pressed down, and another island fell from the sky, landing on the sea.
He landed on the island and said calmly, "There are many ways to compete in swordsmanship, aren't there?"
Mihawk swung his body and leaped onto the new island, swinging his black sword downwards. A ball of dark green lightning coiled around the blade. "It's a pity, but you're right. Now, let's see how skilled we are at swordsmanship."
