One Piece: The Beginning Top War

Bista's tone was very firm when he said this. It is precisely because he is also a swordsman that he can better understand the difference. He and Hawkeye are not in the same realm at all.

"That's impressive enough. That guy Hawkeye is the man who dueled with the red hair. Even my father is full of praise for him."

Even though Bista said that, they still felt that Katie was strong enough. Even Bista himself felt the same. After all, even if it were him, he might not be able to do better than him.

Not only the captain of the White Squadron thought so, but almost everyone who saw this scene thought so.

They had to admit that they had underestimated this young man who suddenly appeared.

"Hahahahaha, he's another restless guy. It's interesting, it's really interesting."

Through his sunglasses, Doflamingo stared at Katie's figure without knowing what he was thinking.

The body followed the knife, and the knife followed the hand. At this moment, Katie fell into an unprecedented concentration. All that was left in the world was the air in her hand and the enemy in front of her. Unknowingly, she entered the wonderful realm of the integration of man and knife.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the look he looked at Katie changed again. The changes that happened to Katie could not escape Hawkeye's eyes. He knew very well what this state meant to a swordsman, and he was preparing to add weight to his hand.

The power can't help but slowly withdraw.

The unity of man and sword is the mental state that all swordsmen long for. In this state, people's spirit is not only highly concentrated, but their thinking is more flexible, and their perception and understanding of themselves has reached an unprecedented level.

In the state of man and sword uniting, a swordsman can completely integrate all his abilities. What was incomprehensible or difficult to break through in the past will become extremely simple at this moment, just like a layer of window paper that can be broken with just one poke.

Of course, this state is extremely difficult to encounter and even depends entirely on luck. People who are unlucky may not encounter it once in their lives. Even if I have only encountered it three times so far, each time it will bring huge improvement to myself.

At this time, Hawkeye looked at Katie with admiration in his eyes.

At the beginning, the reason why I took the initiative to invite Katie to fight was purely out of curiosity. I wanted to see what kind of strength this young man who had disrupted all arrangements of the navy would have.

As soon as he took advantage of it, Hawkeye was shocked. Although it didn't show on his face, he was very uneasy inside. This young man actually had his own sword intention! The tearing effect contained in the attack power was something that Hawkeye felt.

It was clear that he really couldn't imagine how Katie, who was still in the realm of a swordsman, could comprehend the sword's intention, because even many great swordsmen had not yet comprehended their own sword's intention.

Sword intent cannot be learned through hard work alone. Hard work, talent, and opportunity are all indispensable.

It is an external display of a person's will power, and there is even no way to learn it, because everyone's will is different, and can only be understood but not expressed in words. Even the kid he likes is still far away from comprehending the sword's intention.

Far from it.

Later, Hawkeye realized that he had been surprised too early.

After seeing how special Katie was, Hawkeye was also very excited and couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands and shot him down twice in succession.

Just when he thought he had reached his limit, his swordsmanship increased crazily in an instant and directly broke through the barrier in front of countless swordsmen and entered the realm of great swordsman.

However, this was not over yet. They fought again and Hawkeye was shocked to find that in addition to the tearing sword, Katie actually had a second kind of sword intention, space fluctuation!

The moment he first sensed it, Hawkeye felt that it was impossible. It was extremely difficult to have one kind of sword intent, and it was even more difficult to have two kinds of sword intent at the same time. What's more, it was related to space, and so was the sword intent.

There are strong ones and weak ones, and anything related to space is never too weak.

However, the subsequent collision allowed Hawkeye to confirm his perception, which indeed contained the power of space.

At that moment, Hawkeye was even a little envious of Katie, who could grow to this point before the age of twenty. When he was his age, he had just become a great swordsman, and there was still a long way to go before he could achieve sword power.

Compared with him, I really have no advantage at all.

However, Hawkeye also discovered that while the powerful sword intention gave Katie great strength, there was also an insurmountable problem, contradiction and conflict, and he was unable to make good use of these two powers.

At this moment, he entered a state where man and sword merged into one. Although there was no basis for it, Hawkeye had a hunch that when Katie left this state, she would solve this problem and better master these two powers.

, although it is just a hunch, but my perception has always been very accurate.

At this time, as long as Hawkeye wanted, he could interrupt Katie's state at any time, but he did not do so.

It's not the so-called dignity of the strong, nor is it respect for the enemy, it's just pure unwillingness. Ever since the red-haired man broke his arm, he hasn't encountered a decent opponent.

Standing at the top, Hawkeye has been lonely for too long, and he longs for someone to let him fight with all his strength.

Zoro, whom he met in the East China Sea, had a slight chance, but he was not sure whether he could really grow up to be his rival Hawkeye. In comparison, Katie in front of him had a greater chance, so Hawkeye was extraordinary.

He did not interrupt Katie's insights, but instead acted as a sparring partner to teach Katie moves.

Because he has absolute confidence in his own strength, which is the pride of being the world's number one. Although Katie's current talent is extremely terrifying, Hawkeye always believes that even if he really grows to the same height as himself in the future, he will still be the best.

Able to fight and win.

...

There was a loud bang, and for some reason Whitebeard and Akainu launched another powerful attack, and a powerful wave swept over the entire battlefield.

His eyes changed, and his body once again sensed the external environment. At the same time, his consciousness also broke away from that wonderful state. He secretly said that it was a pity but there was nothing he could do. He could no longer return to the state he was in just now.

Fortunately, at least I solved the problem. Even though it only took a few minutes, my strength has improved a lot. Although I didn't acquire any new skills, I have better mastered various existing ones.

ability, and at the same time finally mastered the spatial abilities brought about by Pi Kong Shi Jie.

"Thank you for your help." Even though his perception of the outside world was very low just now, he also knew what Hawkeye was doing. As his opponent, he not only did not interrupt him, but instead acted as a sparring partner for her. Katie admired this magnanimity.

"It's not necessary. Once you wake up, let me see how far you have grown."

"As you wish." She did not reject Hawkeye's invitation at all. Katie also wanted to see how strong her current swordsmanship was.
