One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Chapter 237 Old Friends from the East China Sea! The Clash Between the World's Number One Slash

As Viktor forcefully cleaved open the charred road with his blade, a brief vacuum passage appeared on the solid ice, still crackling with eerie blue electric arcs.

Without hesitation, Luffy activated Gear Second, and hot pink steam rose from his body.

Sabo then wrapped his arms and arms with profound, high-level Armament Haki and Dragon's Breath.

The two brothers transformed into two swift afterimages, one red and one black, racing at breakneck speed along the broken ice surface, heading straight for the execution platform.

The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates standing around the Moby Dick were also infected by this indomitable spirit.

Marco, Jozu, and the others immediately raised their arms and led their pirates in a new, ferocious charge towards the Marine headquarters.

The vice admirals, who had just recovered from the shock of the thunderous strike, knew that they must not let the two men get even a step closer to the execution platform.

They bit their tongues hard, using the excruciating pain to force themselves to calm down from the oppressive feeling of despair, and roared as they directed their troops to reorganize the defense line.

"Stop them!"

"We absolutely cannot let Straw Hat Boy and that revolutionary army soldier get past!"

Several powerful and sharp sword energies and the vacuum slashes generated by the Six Styles "Storm Kick" attacked Luffy and Sabo from both blind spots like a dense rainstorm.

However, before these deadly attacks could land...

Ivankov, the transvestite king, and Jinbe, the knight-errant.

Even Crocodile, who had just been punched by Luffy and was now complaining that the Marines were in his way, decisively attacked at the same time.

The raging sands transformed into a sturdy shield, and the water waves formed a massive ocean current.

Accompanied by Ivankov's extremely destructive and seductive gaze, he blocked all the attacks coming from both sides.

"Straw Hat Boy, Sabo Boy! Just charge forward, we'll handle the marines on both sides!" Ivankov shouted.

In the midst of this unstoppable charge.

Standing at the forefront of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Dracule Mihawk, the "World's Greatest Swordsman" who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his sharp, eagle-like eyes.

He watched silently as Luffy raced across the ice, and as Victor sheathed his sword.

The aloof swordsman did not, as was originally destined, swing his sword to test the distance between himself and the white-bearded man.

Instead, he slowly raised his arm and drew one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords he carried on his back—the black sword "Night".

As the massive cross-shaped longsword was drawn, a sharp sword intent that seemed capable of slicing through the soul instantly swept across the entire arena.

A rare hint of interest flashed in Hawkeye's eyes.

The image of that floating restaurant in the East China Sea involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

At that time, these young people, fresh out of school, were just weaklings who had just embarked on the Grand Line.

Hawkeye's calm yet penetrating voice echoed clearly across the battlefield amidst the raging gunfire:

"What a memorable reunion... Straw Hat Boy, Guren."

"Since we parted ways in Donghai, your growth has truly been astonishing."

Hawkeye gripped the broad hilt of his sword with both hands, his gaze fixed intently on the two people in front of him.

"Let me personally weigh you all, who emerged from the weakest sea, and see just how much weight you truly possess now!"

Before he finished speaking, Hawkeye swung his black sword "Night" with both hands without any hesitation or reservation.

"Whoosh—!"

A terrifying, eerie green flying slash, large enough to split a massive iceberg in two, exploded with a deafening roar along the broken ice surface.

The sword light, carrying the force of creation and destruction, swept up countless ice shards and hurtled straight toward Viktor and Luffy.

Seeing the scale and power of this slash, even the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates behind them showed expressions of horror.

This was no casual swing; it was a serious strike delivered by the world's greatest swordsman.

Faced with this green slash that seemed to cleave the world in two, Viktor decisively stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head slightly and gave a low shout to the two people behind him: "You two keep going, leave this to me!"

Without hesitation, Luffy and Sabo immediately went around to the sides.

Facing the overwhelming green sword energy alone, Viktor's deep black eyes instantly ignited with a fervent fighting spirit.

Within his eye sockets, a crimson kaleidoscope spun rapidly, radiating a chilling power.

With a crisp "click" of metal scraping, the black sword Autumn Water was drawn once more.

Facing the world's number one swordsman, Viktor held nothing back.

With a thought, he simultaneously and without reservation wrapped his Armament Haki, along with the inextinguishable Amaterasu, around the blade of Shusui.

The dark red, domineering lightning intertwined and merged with the pitch-black, eerie flames.

The terrifying heat and destructive aura it emitted scorched and distorted the surrounding air.

Viktor gripped the hilt of his sword with one hand and, from bottom to top, met Hawkeye's dazzling green slash with a fierce, domineering black sword aura!

"【Amaterasu: Eclipse Slash】!"

"BOOM!!!"

Two peerless sword energies, one green and one black, representing the pinnacle of this sea, collided violently in the very center of the battlefield.

The pitch-black karmic flames leaped wildly, as if they had transformed into a greedy beast, ready to devour Eagle Eye's pure green sword light along with the sky above.

A terrifying energy storm swept across the entire area from the point of impact.

The already cracked, hard ice began to shatter inch by inch under the violent collision and crushing of the two extreme sword intents, turning into ice shards and white mist flying everywhere.

Two forces, each capable of severing everything, were locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

They refused to give way to each other, and finally, amidst fierce turbulence, they both soared toward the sky.

The aftershocks of the sword energy that shot straight into the sky even briefly tore a huge gap in the thick, leaden-gray clouds that never dissipated above Marineford, revealing the long-lost azure sky!

Luffy, who was running at top speed, felt a tremendous commotion coming from behind him.

He looked up at the huge gaping hole in the sky, and a wide, radiant smile spread across his face.

"Hehehe! Victor! You've really gotten stronger!"

The storm and ice chips gradually subsided.

Hawkeye stood still, watching the flying slash in mid-air that had been completely neutralized by the black flames and lightning.

On his usually calm and aloof face, a rare smile of excitement appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He held his black sword "Night" horizontally in front of him, gazing at Viktor, who wielded the sword, from a distance, and offered his assessment of him as the world's greatest swordsman:

"No longer the sharp-eyed fledgling in the East China Sea..."

"Now you truly deserve to stand atop this vast ocean, Crimson Victor!"

However, just as everyone was captivated by the awe-inspiring clash between these two top swordsmen, the situation on the battlefield took another dramatic turn.

A dazzling golden cross suddenly lit up without warning right in front of Luffy and Sabo as they ran.

Marine Admiral Kizaru had somehow transformed into countless golden photons.

Using the Yata Mirror's reflection on the smooth ice surface, he bypassed all the outer defenses at the speed of light, like a ghost, and firmly cut off Luffy's path.

Kizaru stood with his hands in his pockets, his lips slightly pursed, a dangerous glint in his eyes behind his signature brown sunglasses.

"Speed ​​is power... Straw Hat Luffy."

Kizaru's tone remained nonchalant, but his movements were extremely sharp.

Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?

Before he could finish speaking, Kizaru had already raised his right leg high.

His toes flashed with dazzling golden light as he mercilessly swept them toward Luffy's head!

The deadly attack at the speed of light caused Luffy's Observation Haki, honed on the brink of death, to issue a frantic warning.

However, in the high-speed running state of second gear.

The immense inertia left his body no time to make an effective dodge, and he could only watch helplessly as the golden light rapidly magnified in his field of vision.

At this critical moment when life and death were at stake.

"Snapped!"

A hand, covered in deep, dark, high-level Armament Haki and resembling a dragon claw, suddenly emerged from one side.

This hand, in a completely unreasonable manner, disregarded the Logia-type elementalization and firmly gripped Kizaru's right leg, which was flashing with dazzling golden light and was about to fall!

The powerful impact created ripples of air that made Sabo's tall black hat flutter loudly.

Sabo stood steadily in front of Luffy and slowly raised his head.

On that face bearing burn scars, beneath his left eye, was a chilling, piercing murderous intent and an unwavering resolve.

A slight smile played on his lips as he stared intently at the utterly bewildered Kizaru.

"I'm sorry, Admiral."

"I can't just stand here and watch you kick my brother away!"
