Start with Seshomaru form, the strongest ship deputy among all beasts

The battle between the two is not over yet...

Even if both have reached the pinnacle, the winner must be determined thoroughly!

"war!"

Hawkeye's answer was just this one word.

When he attacked Barrett again, he felt that his current condition had become extremely good.

The scene where you once had to "do two things at once" and double the consumption to maintain "armed manifestation" is gone forever.

Now, performing "Armament Manifestation" is as easy as an ordinary person covering a weapon with armament color.

Sizzle!

Once again, in addition to covering the black sword "Night" with a layer of armament color, there is also an additional domineering color wrapped around it.

After resonating with the "Night" spirit, the material of "Night" completely underwent a qualitative change. At this moment, Hawkeye's attack power can be said to have reached a peak!

Barrett is equally good.

As he truly reached the pinnacle of advancement, his "Ultimate Compression" also underwent fundamental changes.

The old days of having to consume six times the energy to double the strength are also gone forever.

Now, with four times the consumption, the strength can be increased to two and a half times.

Slightly inferior to Lin Lei.

But the increase in the upper limit brings about an overall improvement!

For example, in the "Devil Form", as the strength of the armament color increases, the attack power, speed, and defense are all enhanced simultaneously without exception!

Boom boom boom! ! !

As the two collided again, the training ground shook again.

"His attacks...have become stronger!"

"And the fluctuation of domineering aura is much smaller than before..."

Hawkeye's eyes flashed, and he immediately noticed the changes in Barrett.

The same is true for the latter:

"Mihawk's great sword... feels even sharper!"

"Obviously, the Haki is stronger... but it's even harder to defend against than before!"

obviously.

Both of them have reached the pinnacle, which means that they are still at the same level...

However, logically speaking, the Barrett, who is like a human tank, has almost no shortcomings and should be in the upper hand!

In terms of defense, he can also use the power of the fusion fruit to fuse high-quality metals to enhance defense.

It can be said that, to some extent, people like Barrett are the nemesis of the swordsman...

But why couldn't he gain the upper hand?

Whether it was at the beginning, when the three colors of domineering were used at the same time, or in the middle stage when the domineering, physical strength, and spirit were close to exhaustion, or now when both colors have reached their peak, there is still no change...

They are evenly matched!

the reason is simple.

It's Hawkeye's swordsmanship!

People often have a wrong perception that swordsmanship is a collision of swords and domineering power.

Straightforward, simple and direct, there is no technicality at all!

This is not the case.

Otherwise, why would Barrett be slashed countless times all over his body, and only rely on a huge amount of armament Haki and "Devil Form" to remain safe and sound and take the slashes?

From beginning to end, there was no record of Barrett attacking Hawkeye's body!

The so-called swordsmanship and the so-called techniques are, in the final analysis, the art of killing.

Use the simplest and most direct techniques to kill the enemy!

Although Barrett is good at physical skills, since he is also a fruit ability user, he cannot be as focused as Hawkeye.

What's more... Hawkeye's talent and potential are even greater than his!

If Barrett's defense was weaker, he would have been beheaded by a single blow and would not have been able to hold on until now!

Before reaching perfection, swordsmanship is just a skill!

So, what comes after the great success? Or what is the great success?

Beckman's experience can illustrate this point.

Before he achieved perfection, no matter how skilled his firearms skills were, and how accurate his shots were, the bullets would always travel in a straight line.

But once it is fully developed, the bullet can actually turn?

This is simply unreasonable!

And the great success is precisely to break the common sense!

Still using the example of bullets, some people can be as powerful as bullets.

Maybe some people just make the bullet faster!

But perhaps, some people's bullets can travel through space. After the bullet is fired, it disappears, as if it has passed through the barrier of space, and then suddenly appears next to the enemy, so sudden that it is hard to defend against!

Which of these three is stronger?

Maybe bullet turning and space travel each have their own advantages, but the latter is definitely more unconventional and even violates the rules!

Hawkeye's ultimate achievement... must be similar to the more difficult latter one!

So until now, it has not been successful!

If this continues, I'm afraid it will end in a draw.

This is obviously not what the two of them want to see...

But at this moment, Hawkeye is full of confidence.

Because, as mentioned before, whether his swordsmanship can be perfected is closely related to whether he can master the black sword...

Now that the black knife is ready, how far will it take for the swordsmanship to be perfected?

"Ok?"

as predicted.

Barrett, who was hit on the shoulder by the black knife "Night" again, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis from the bottom of his heart...

[294] Great Swordsmanship - Void Slash!

"not good!!!"

The moment when the black knife "Night" in Hawkeye's hand cut his shoulder.

The sense of crisis that was welling up in Barrett's heart was almost materializing.

So he did not hesitate and changed his previous method of punching hard, and his body quickly retreated.

Then the next second...

Under the black knife "Night" in Hawkeye's hand, a dark space crack appeared, as if it could absorb all the light.

That’s not all!

Watching Barrett "escape".

Hawkeye swung a knife at him again from a distance.

Then, a space crack appeared again in front of Barrett, who was retreating continuously.

erA fierce slash appeared from it and hit his abdomen heavily.

Puzzle~

Accompanied by the sound of muscles tearing.

0 I saw that a long cut was made on Barrett's abdomen which was fused with Armament Haki, and blood spurted out immediately.

si “What!?”

⑶ Barrett, who was retreating suddenly, was stunned. The intense and long-lost pain made him show an expression of disbelief on his face.

How many years have passed...

6 Even if he is defeated in a battle with others, he will never be defeated so easily!

But now, his defense was suddenly broken! ?

In "Why did Hawkeye's slash suddenly become stronger?"

Beckman and others who were watching this scene from the periphery of the training ground were all shocked.

The group needs to know...

: At this time, Barrett has activated the "devil mode"!

Moreover, after the armament color reaches its peak, people can clearly feel that the strength has become stronger!

This makes his abdomen and even his entire body as hard as an ordinary big sharp knife!

But now, the defense was broken by this sudden battle that came from the space rift?

"Pity……"

As Hawkeye watched Barrett's figure gradually moving away, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes and he couldn't help but sigh silently.

What he regretted was that if Barrett had chosen to use his body to take the attack as he had done before, the outcome of this battle would probably have been decided immediately!

Because of that dark space crack...

It was the latest sword move he had learned!

It is also the culmination of the many sword techniques he has learned over the years!

Yes……

Just after "Ye" was completely trained into a black sword.

His thoughts were like countless flashes of inspiration.

Because of his immense devotion to the way of the sword, he naturally entered a state of utmost sincerity.

That is why, what used to be a path of guesswork and deduction can now be entered naturally!

The casual swing of the sword seemed to make little noise, but it represented the highest achievement of his swordsmanship so far.

Nothing can be left unbroken, nothing can be left uncut!

This move is called Void Slash!

However, perhaps because he had just comprehended it, every time he slashed into the air, it would consume a lot of his energy.

The two seemingly casual slashes just now made his already exhausted spirit even worse.

As we all know...

There is no comparison in strength between an attack from a supreme great sword and an attack from a slashing blow.

That's why Hawkeye feels sorry...

The latter can only break the defense, while the former can cause severe damage immediately!

"It seems that the realization you just gained has helped you make more progress than just your Armament Haki!"

Barrett saw Hawkeye withdraw his hand and said solemnly, covering his abdomen.

He knows very well...

If Hawkeye had only improved his armament Haki to the same extent as him, it would be impossible for him to break his defense suddenly!

It will inevitably be the same as before, with both sides falling into a stalemate again and neither side being able to do anything about it!

Only by achieving more breakthroughs can this balance be broken...
