That is a blasphemy to the heart of kendo!

Besides, what if he lost Black Knife Night and released a group of sea demons! "Think it over, I'll give you two knives in exchange for one, you'll definitely win." Duke said in a gentle and persuasive manner, looking at Black Knife with his eyes shining, almost drooling.

"If I really have to bet, I'd bet that Straw Hat Boy can rescue his brother." Unexpectedly, Hawkeye gave such an answer.

The raised black knife suddenly slashed down, seemingly an ordinary and casual blow, but it gave people the fear that it could cut through everything. Just this one blow made countless swordsmen feel ashamed of themselves. There were only a handful of people on the sea who could take this sword without any injury.

"Oh! You actually made a bet with me!?" Duke held Huazhou horizontally and stabbed it from a strange angle, touching the tip of the black knife. He turned his wrist to relieve the force and changed the direction of the black knife.

clang————

The sword sounded softly, and dozens of meters of sharp sword energy shot out from the blade. The terrifying sword force seemed to cut off everything that blocked the way. On the ground of the square, a finger-wide cut stretched from Hawkeye's feet to the port, until it cut through the iceberg and disappeared without a trace.

"Of course, I have the Straw Hat boy's ship doctor in my hands. I know everything about him and Shanks."

"Occasionally when I'm interested, it seems like it's not bad to take a gamble!" Hawkeye's eyes lit up, revealing a strong interest.

On the execution platform, Luffy, with the help of Lightning, came to Ace, took out the key given to him by Boa I Love Rubber Hancock from his arms, and prepared to unlock the seastone shackles.

Hawkeye did not reply, his energy and spirit were extremely concentrated, gathering all his energy and strength, and he launched the world's best slash. The magnificent sword light was like the morning light that cut through the lake, and it instantly burst into a bright and strong light. When the sword was swung out, it seemed that even time stood still for a moment.

The sword energy spanned the battlefield, starting from Hawkeye's feet and extending infinitely into the distance. Half of Marinford was cut in half by his sword. Everyone saw only a flash before their eyes, and the iceberg in the distance was split into two. The sea surface was even chopped into a bottomless crack that extended to the limit of their vision.

Therefore, when facing the enemy, you must abandon your inner fears and distractions.

Luffy's rough personality frightened Ace, but he knew very well how terrifying Sengoku was.

The pirates and navy were forced to keep moving away from the battlefield between the two. Although the navy didn't know why Hawkeye suddenly became serious, they couldn't help but feel secretly happy when they saw that he was restraining Duke, the unstable factor.

Hawkeye seems to have a lot of confidence in Luffy, and this confidence may come from an unknown red-haired pirate who relied on his reputation, but failed to force himself to show off, and was threatened with losing half of his arm by the King of the Sea. Duke immediately pointed out: "Is it because of the straw hat? Or is it the future that Shanks bet on?"

"You know?" Hawkeye frowned.

Even though the Whitebeard Pirates and Duke, the troublemaker, blocked all the forces of the Navy and let Luffy rush to the execution platform easily, the pirates had already played all their cards, and even Whitebeard himself had risked his life, and the Navy still had one of the strongest forces that had not been sent to the battlefield, that was Sengoku.

After the brief conversation, Hawkeye swung the black knife and slashed at Duke's head. The serious Hawkeye was completely different from before. The blade was sharper and the slash was more decisive and ruthless.

"As expected of you, you are the world's number one swordsman. This is the first time I have encountered such a sharp sword on the sea." Duke wiped the blood from his cheek and said with a look of fear: "How about we talk about the Straw Hat again?"

Invisible sword energy shot up into the sky; Hawkeye used all his strength in this move without holding back at all.

An expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look!

This is a cold-blooded man who will never be swayed by emotions. He has dedicated his life to the navy and his eyes cannot tolerate any pirates.

Duke's simple sword-picking aroused Hawkeye's interest. This move seemed easy, but in fact it required the tempering of countless battles, as well as the calmness in the face of danger and extreme confidence in oneself.

The Navy Commander-in-Chief, who was known as the "wise general" in his early years, usually kept a low profile and commanded the entire army from the rear, so that many navies had never seen their marshal take action.

Kendo is the judgment and prediction of the opponent's mentality and behavior formed during the battle, which can make oneself calm and confident, know both oneself and the enemy, and then adopt strategies to defeat the enemy.

…

Duke held his breath and waved Huazhou to meet him. Facing Hawkeye, who stood at the top of the world, he had no extra energy to think about other things, because if he was not careful... he would die! Duke and Hawkeye fought with all their strength, and suddenly the sword light was everywhere. The stalemate made it impossible to see the figures of the two. Only the sword energy was crisscrossed and invincible. Everything nearby, whether people or objects, was turned into ashes by the sword energy.

Luffy was so excited when he stepped onto the execution platform to rescue Ace that he didn't realize that the Admiral Sengoku, who commanded the entire navy, was standing next to him. This may be related to Sengoku's appearance, with a bird on his hat, forcing himself to have one more bird than others. In Luffy's opinion, he should be better at being funny.

The sea was cut in half, and the surface of the two halves was stirring quietly, with no sign of calming down.

Akainu seized Whitebeard's weakness and without any hesitation, he turned the magma into a roaring fist and fiercely punched into Whitebeard's chest and abdomen. The boiling magma burned his internal organs, and the severe pain of burning his internal organs came. Whitebeard couldn't help but groan a few times, staggering and shaking, and only leaning on the large naginata did he not fall down.

Hawkeye, with a grim face, finally replied: "There is nothing much to say about the Straw Hat Boy. The pride of the next era is destined not to perish here."

The battlefield, where the sounds of killing were deafening, suddenly fell into an eerie silence as the sword energy was slashed out. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the sea in the distance, as if they wanted to see where the end of this sword was.

But his strength is unquestionable. He climbed up from the grassroots to the position of the Navy Commander step by step, which is a real accumulation of merits. His wife... ahem, his strength is not inferior to any admiral including Akainu and Aokiji. Whether it is Garp of the same period or Zephyr who has retired to the second line, his strength is not inferior at all. In fact, because of his calm and witty mind, he seems more terrifying.

In Hawkeye's opinion, Duke is a real swordsman! Very strong, so strong that he has to go all out! Hawkeye's momentum suddenly changed when he became serious. His sharp golden eagle eyes swept across, like a sword stabbing out of its sheath, making the soul tremble.

"Yes, I believe the red-haired man will not make a mistake!"

"Hey, this is different from what we agreed on. Aren't you just here for formalities?" Duke said with a pained look on his face: "I don't want to fight a monster like you. Why don't we continue to talk about the bet!"

Kendo is the art of using weapons. To put it simply, it means chopping the opponent with the sword, but this is not something that can be done by just saying it. The enemy is not a wooden stake, and will not stand there for you to chop. He will dodge, fight back, and use his brain.

The pirates were in a bad situation. Hawkeye suddenly exerted his strength and scared them. Fortunately, the other seven warlords were still insignificant, so the battle was not one-sided. However, after a long battle, Whitebeard was not in a good condition. After shaking open the magma, Whitebeard covered his aching heart and spurted a lot of thick dark red blood from his mouth and nose. The blood was dull and not like the vibrant red, an abnormal color.

Marco and Oz were horrified and hurried back to help their father, but unfortunately Aokiji's defense was not so easy to break through. In their haste, they were continuously frozen by Aokiji, and were frostbitten all over, looking in a miserable state.

Ever since Luffy knocked Garp down with one punch and stepped onto the execution platform, Sengoku's face has been extremely gloomy, and he has been furious and can no longer bear it. A hundred thousand naval elites, dozens of world-famous vice admirals, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the three admirals, and the naval hero Garp, all the elite forces of the navy, actually allowed a pirate rookie who had not even set foot in the New World to break through all the levels and come to him.

Is it luck or a miracle?

Zhan Guo didn’t think so much, he only knew that the navy’s face was slapped hard in the face at this moment.

"Those who have committed heinous crimes... the blood of Roger and the blood of Dragon, I will personally sentence them to death!" A dazzling light flashed, and the golden giant on the execution platform stood up.
