After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

Hawkeye Mihawk swept his sword horizontally, shattering the water arrow with a deafening roar. At the same time, Martin spun through the air, creating a gust of wind as he wielded the Thousand Cherry Blossoms.

The next moment, the long sword shot out and aimed at Hawkeye Mihawk's throat.

With a hiss, the sword energy arrived in a flash.

This strike was incredibly fast, and its momentum was even more bizarre and unpredictable. Even if the greatest swordsman faced this strike, he would likely perish. But as soon as the strike was unleashed, Hawkeye Mihawk's divine sword also arrived at the same time.

when!

Amidst the bursts of sparks, the two longswords clashed, unleashing powerful sword energy that caused the seawater to be repeatedly split open and then healed.

With a flash of light, Martin unleashed his sword's power, forcing Hawkeye Mihawk into the water. In a swift movement, he leaped from the sea and landed on the ship.

"This swordsmanship is truly astonishing."

Shimotsuki Koushirou was so dazzled and stunned that he was speechless.

The fierce battle on the sea actually lasted only a breath or two, but its brilliance was beyond words. Every casual strike was breathtaking, and if the opponents had been different, each move would have been a deadly and daring strike.

On the other hand, Martin used the momentum to fly onto the small boat and landed on one foot.

The small boat immediately trembled violently, and with a crack, the plank on which Hawkeye Mihawk was standing shattered inch by inch. In the blink of an eye, the small boat had been broken into seven or eight pieces.

"Take another cut from me."

A cold voice rang out, and Hawkeye Mihawk flew like a white cloud, slashing his black blade diagonally.

call out!

A sharp sword aura swept across like a white line. Martin dodged the attack, but the ship beneath his feet was silently sliced ​​in two by the sword aura.

The seawater churned, bursting and boiling.

Two figures, one black and one white, shot out and landed on a broken piece of the ship's deck. With the rolling seawater, their figures rose and fell, facing each other.

The boat swayed and bobbed with the rapid current, but Martin and Hawkeye Mihawk remained rooted to the surface, like willow catkins, and did not sink into the sea.

In the blink of an eye, we were getting closer and closer to that small island, now only a kilometer away.

A smile appeared on Martin's lips as he unleashed a powerful backhand kick, but instead of Hawkeye Mihawk, it struck the surface of the sea.

boom!!

His footwork exploded instantly, creating waves. Using this propulsive force, the plank beneath his feet shot out like an arrow, instantly creating a distance of twenty or thirty meters.

Hawkeye Mihawk's expression remained unchanged. With a single slash, the sword's momentum spread across the void, propelling his figure forward, pursuing him like a ghost.

Both sides were moving at full speed, and a kilometer was covered in the blink of an eye.

Hawkeye Mihawk stomped his feet, the ship's planks shattered inch by inch, and he rose like a flying immortal, drifting like a white cloud, heading straight for Martin.

The blade flashed.

A single slash, like a clear light, like flowing clouds, like a startled swan, shot down like lightning, enveloping everything like a sudden storm.

Martin felt a chill run down his spine as a sharp aura approached, its chilling intensity and swiftness unlike anything he had ever witnessed before, even surpassing his own full-force attack.

"Excellent swordsmanship. Hawkeye Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman, truly lives up to his reputation."

Martin let out a long howl, his right arm vibrated, and he unleashed the full power of his high-speed sword to its limit in an instant, with countless flashes of light meeting Hawkeye Mihawk's fierce slash.

Dangdang! ! !

In the midst of the fierce and relentless onslaught, flames burst forth incessantly, illuminating the entire sea surface with a dazzling display of light and shadow, as if two lightning bolts were dancing wildly and clashing against each other.

The two men on the merchant ship who had been watching the battle were horrified when they witnessed this astonishing scene.

They had never seen such a breathtaking scene before.

Even the four giants they just faced, and Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, didn't give them this much of a shock.

Two figures moved unpredictably across the sea, their swords flashing like lightning and bursting with light, almost like immortals descended to the mortal world, engaging in an unprecedented clash of divine swords.

In the Great Pirate Era, undercurrents surged, pirates were ruthless, and bloodshed was rampant. These merchant ships, traveling between the Grand Line, needed swordsmen or martial arts experts to protect them, so they were no strangers to swordsmanship.

However, it wasn't until they saw this astonishing scene that they realized how breathtaking a clash of swords could be.

"That's fantastic!"

Shimotsuki Koushirou was full of praise for the scene.

Kuina and Zoro's jaws dropped to the ground.

"Is our husband really that amazing? He's like a legendary swordsman."

Joel glanced at Robin beside him.

Robin stared intently: "I didn't know either. My husband has always kept it a secret. I had no idea he was so capable."

Tashigi's eyes were filled with admiration: "With this kind of strength, he can be a Navy warrant officer? Even those commodores who are good at swordsmanship are not as good as him. Wow, my husband is so awesome!"

"This is exhilarating! This is the first time I've had such a satisfying battle since I mastered my swordsmanship."

Hawkeye Mihawk let out a long howl, a smile appearing on his face for the first time. His black blade flashed with a sharp light as he slashed down again.

This strike descended from the sky, pouring forth like a cascading Milky Way, breathtakingly beautiful.

when!

The high-speed sword transformed into countless sword shadows, which then suddenly merged into one in mid-air, intercepting Hawkeye Mihawk's stunning strike.

"That was a brilliant strike, and it wasn't even your full power. Let me see your true skill, Hawkeye."

boom!

At the same time, the deck beneath Martin's feet could not withstand the force and shattered with a crash.

With a splash, his body sank into the sea.

Hawkeye Mihawk, however, used the force of Martin's strike to rise into the air once more, floating like white clouds, as graceful as a sword immortal in the clouds.

His eyes flashed with a divine light, reflecting the cold gleam of the black knife.

Boom!

The sea broke open, and a figure soared into the sky, carrying waves along with it, like a dragon emerging from the water, charging towards the enemy.

As the blades flashed, the figures shifted accordingly. Although it was clearly only one person attacking, in that instant, the sword's speed was so extreme that it seemed as if a hundred or so people were attacking from all directions at once.

A chilling killing intent spread out.

Swish!

Hawkeye Mihawk reversed his sword, his body suddenly leaning forward, and in an instant, it was as if he had raised the black sword with both hands. The sword light was ethereal and agile, which was no ordinary move.

Flying Slash!

The slash was unleashed with a flash of light, and before it could fully unfold, Martin was already enveloped in sword energy, a chilling aura that could penetrate to the very marrow of one's bones as it crashed down.

The sword energy came and went without a trace, as if it had appeared out of thin air, coming from beyond the heavens, ethereal and unpredictable. Even with Martin's full Observation Haki, he could not catch its trajectory at this moment.

This ethereal yet incredibly sharp killing intent is simply a deadly sword.

This shows that Hawkeye Mihawk's swordsmanship is extremely terrifying, almost like a special divine punishment that wants to engulf him.

Martin then truly realized how terrifying Hawkeye Mihawk was. In terms of physical skills, Hawkeye Mihawk could not compare to him, but Hawkeye Mihawk's swordsmanship was definitely superior to his. This strike was indeed a "god" among sword techniques, perfectly executed and without any flaws!

This move is extremely powerful and cannot be dodged; the only option is to defend against it!

However, among all the great swordsmen in the world, there are probably only two or three who can truly withstand this move.

Judging solely by swordsmanship and physical strength, Martin might not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, he had a Zanpakuto.

"Shoot him, sharpshooter!"

He uttered the first words of enlightenment, and the short sword and divine spear shot out suddenly.

call out!

The air was instantly torn apart by the blade of the divine spear, bursting out a dazzling cold light.

The blade aimed straight at Hawkeye Mihawk's chest.

In an instant, two blades of light crossed in mid-air. After a moment of hesitation, the divine spear suddenly exploded, causing waves to burst open and splashing up sprays of water.

Mihawk abruptly withdrew his black knife, desperately blocking Martin's sharpshooting.

Martin was also hit by the aftershocks of the sword energy, and his body plummeted downwards.

thump!

Martin and Hawkeye Mihawk fell into the sea almost simultaneously.

The sea has become calm...

While everyone was searching for the two, the sea was cut in two by sword energies.

Taking advantage of this moment, Martin and Mihawk got up one after the other and stood on the deck again.

The two looked at each other, standing at a distance.

Martin touched a slash mark on his chest. Although it wasn't bleeding, he could feel unprecedented pain. The purple slash mark wouldn't disappear for a short time.

This injury was caused by Hawkeye's sword energy!

The divine spear's initial release was actually caught!

Hawkeye is currently the first man to catch the Shinjutsu Shikai.

very good!

He truly is the greatest swordsman of our time; it's worth using my ultimate move.

Martin pointed the sharpshooter at Hawkeye Mihawk: "I hope you survive."

Bankai, God Slayer Spear!

Chapter 111 I'll send you away, a thousand miles away.

"That sword strike was incredibly powerful!"

Hawkeye Mihawk was still catching his breath, shocked by the sword strike he had just received.

He could still feel the tingling sensation coming from the tiger's mouth.
