Chapter 82: Hawkeye's Basic Attack
Hawkeye's words silenced the surrounding Sand Shinobi for a few seconds.
They were bewildered. Is this guy crazy? Doesn't he realize how many enemies there are?
There were no less than a hundred enemies in his immediate vicinity. Yet, he dared to take the initiative to challenge them without hiding his aura!
He... is just courting death!
A Sand Jōnin swept his icy gaze across Hawkeye's face.
In the next second, without needing a command, countless shurikens were shot from all directions at high speed!
A giant, almost impenetrable net of shurikens formed, converging on Hawkeye.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of metal colliding rang out continuously.
The sudden action of the ninjas surprised the people of the Pirate World. These guys moved so fast! No one had given a verbal order, yet they all chose the same method of attack simultaneously.
Using hidden weapons to test the enemy was a common ninja tactic. However, this uniform movement made it clear that these ninjas fought together often and possessed a high degree of tacit understanding.
Such a force made Sengoku envious. In his eyes, this was a perfectly disciplined elite unit.
However, beneath the massive net of shurikens, a cyan sword light flashed.
Clang!!! Clang!!!
The sound of a blade flowing like water suddenly resonated.
In an instant, the incoming shurikens were deflected and bounced away! The speed of the reflected shurikens was incredible.
"Argh!"
Many ninjas were instantly injured by their own weapons shooting back at them.
The cyan sword light shone brilliantly, instantly slicing through the nearby house and leaving a clean cut down the middle. A gash more than ten meters long was clearly visible on the ground.
Hawkeye looked at these ninjas calmly. "Is your strength limited to this level?"
At this moment, holding the Black Blade Yoru, Hawkeye exuded a single concept to everyone watching: Power!
Sure enough, this man was indeed not easy to deal with. One sword! One man! He radiated an aura that suppressed the Sand Shinobi troops.
Whitebeard laughed. "That eagle-eyed kid has a strong aura! Although he was deprived of the title of World's Strongest Swordsman by the Marine kid, it doesn't seem to affect him!"
Hearing this, Kaido took a sip of wine. "Huh! After losing, he has even more fighting spirit, doesn't he? Hawkeye Mihawk."
The current Hawkeye was indeed full of fighting spirit. Defeat had made him realize he still had room for improvement—not just in Haki, but even his swordsmanship was far from its limit! The current Hawkeye didn't care about victory for its own sake; he seemed to have rediscovered the feeling of maddeningly pursuing greater strength, rather than stagnating at the peak.
"Since you don't want to continue attacking, then I... will show you my strength first!"
Buzz!!!
The Black Blade Yoru seemed to resonate with Hawkeye's emotions, the blade vibrating slightly. Under the sunlight above Sunagakure, the light refracting from the blade was a deep blue-black.
The cold glint exposed the ninjas to a sensation like standing in a freezing gale. Their bodies froze in place.
At this moment, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki's expression became very surprised. "So strong... This kid is not simple, and the sword in his hand is even more so..."
What is with that black blade?
Suddenly, Hawkeye waved Yoru, the blade tearing open the void.
A half-moon-shaped slashing wave erupted in response.
There was an astonishing sound of wind breaking across the air. The sudden burst of sword energy surrounded Hawkeye like a vortex in a lake, rippling outward.
Dust was instantly kicked up, and thick smoke rose! At the same time, eye-catching cracks appeared on the ground.
One strike!
The slash made countless eyes widen in disbelief. This guy with the strange cross-blade on his back possessed such terrifying strength.
The cyan sword light ran straight through five or six houses, fanning out like a storm. The ninjas along its path were cut down one after another.
Whoosh, whoosh...
It kept sweeping forward for tens of meters before slowly dissipating. The screams of the ninjas sounded immediately.
One swing! Hundreds of affected ninjas fell!
Such amazing strength was unbelievable just watching on the screen, let alone for the ninjas witnessing it with their own eyes. They couldn't imagine that swordsmanship could explode with such terrifying power.
It was just a sword! Just one swing! And the opponent didn't even seem to be using his full strength.
Now, numerous comments from the Ninja World appeared on the light curtain.
[Ninja World] Cloud Ninja: How is this possible! His swordsmanship... why is it so strong? The slashing wave that burst out with one swing is even more amazing than the power of A-rank Ninjutsu!
[Ninja World] Konoha Ninja: The black blade in his hand is also very strange; that sword seems terrifyingly sharp!
[Ninja World] Cloud Ninja: Since they were recruited because they are strong, how could they be weak? Could it be that each of these people is this terrifying?
Thinking that there were still six other Warlords like Hawkeye, the people of the Ninja World felt their scalps go numb. If all of them were this fierce, how could they stop them? Let alone the man who was even more powerful than the Seven Warlords!
Because the Ninja World audience was so shocked, their panicked comments made the people of the Pirate World very proud.
Did you see that?! This is the consequence of underestimating us!
Although only ten people came to their world, none of them were simple.
People from the Pirate World began "educating" the Ninja World audience via the chat barrage.
[Pirate World] Pirate: Idiots! That's a Shichibukai. As you said, they are pirates recruited by the World Government because of their strength. Treating them as ordinary combatants is a mistake!
[Pirate World] Marine: Dracule Mihawk, also known as Hawkeye. Before the Marine Admiral candidate, Mr. Yuichi, showed his strength, this guy was recognized as the World's Number One Swordsman! The ceiling of swordsmanship.
[Pirate World] Marine: The sword in Mr. Hawkeye's hand is called Yoru. It is one of the 12 Supreme Grade Blades, known as the "World's Strongest Black Blade." It was originally an ordinary blade, but under Mr. Hawkeye's Haki rendering, it became tougher than any other sword.
[Pirate World] Pirate Hunter: If a famous sword wants to become a Black Blade, the swordsman needs to use his own Haki to imbue it continuously until the sword is completely transformed. It changes from its original color to a black blade. No such Black Blade is ordinary.
The people of the Pirate World were technically explaining things to the Ninja World, but strictly speaking, they were showing off.
This boasting left Sengoku speechless.
"Are these guys idiots?! Letting the enemy know about our world!"
Garp smiled. "Give it up, Sengoku! You can't stop these people. If you want to talk about leaking information, the enemy's world is doing the same! Just treat it as an information exchange!"
"Hey!" Sengoku sighed. That was all he could think now.
