The Strongest Hokage

At this moment, the battle between Hawkeye and Kuina is approaching the final moment when the winner will be decided.

Even if the realms of the two are almost the same, and their strength, arrogance, etc. are almost the same, but in the end of the battle, one will win and the other will lose.

Just like admiral Aokiji and Akainu, the combat power of the two is almost the same, but in the original book, after days and nights of fighting for the position of Admiral of the Navy, the winner is finally decided.

laugh! !

A cyan sword energy stretched vertically and horizontally, cutting the earth in half in an instant, and the fracture was smooth.

hum! !

A silver streamer pierced the sky, instantly splitting a white cloud in the sky into two pieces, and flew towards the endless horizon, bursting out with brilliant light.

Between Kuina and Hawkeye, the movement started to become less and less.

In the beginning, only the figures of the two people could be seen intersecting, sword lights flickering, and colliding constantly, but slowly, the speed of the two seemed to become slower and slower.

In other words, at this time, the competition is the ultimate swordsmanship.

No one dared to stay beside the two of them. The area of ​​nearly a hundred feet around them was empty, and everyone was a hundred feet away, watching in fear.

Although the navy and the pirates are still fighting, but during the fighting, from time to time, some people can't help but look at this side. The sword aura that stretches from time to time is too shocking.

The movements of Kuina and Hawkeye are from complex to simple, getting slower and slower, but the sharpness of the sword is also becoming more and more condensed, every sword swing seems to contain millions of swords.

In the end, the movements of the two were like beginners practicing swords, the simplest and most basic chopping.

However, this simplest chopping seems to have traced a strange and invisible trajectory, as if it contains the true meaning of 'cutting'.

At some point, the figures of Kuina and Hawkeye backed away at the same time.

The two were several meters apart, facing each other from a distance.

Momentum, sword intent, everything was condensed to the peak state, and at the next moment, a palpitating sharpness flashed in the eyes of the two of them at the same time.

laugh! !

There is obviously no light, but it seems that thousands of lights are gathered here.

The silhouettes of Kuina and Hawkeye suddenly staggered in the field, and directly exchanged positions, with their backs facing each other, stagnating there.

This time, there was finally no aftermath after the collision, as if all the aftermath had canceled each other out in the blow just now.

The two of them... who won?

This is the thought that pops up in the minds of many people.

Even if he doesn't know how to use swords, and he isn't very strong himself, but watching this scene, he can still feel an inexplicable feeling that the victory and defeat have been divided.

I don't know how long has passed.

It seems like a moment, and it seems like countless epochs.

laugh!

At the end of Kuina's beautiful long hair, an inch of black hair suddenly floated up and scattered on the ice.

On the other side, Hawkeye stood there, a crack suddenly appeared at the collar of his collar, and then a hole opened.

Ding! !

In addition, there was a slight gap in the night of the black knife in Hawkeye's hand.

The result of this battle... can be said to be a draw, or it can be said that Kuina won.

However, Kuina is not superior in swordsmanship, but in her sword, surpassing Hawkeye's black knife, because of this sword, she is slightly better.

Other than that, the two are almost equal in terms of swordsmanship and domineering.

"Is this the apex of a swordsman?"

Hawkeye suddenly turned around and looked at Kuina behind him, with a trace of emotion that no one could understand in his eyes.

Hawkeye has been the number one swordsman in the world for a long time.

No one can surpass him in swordsmanship, and there are very few people who even want to stand shoulder to shoulder with him in swordsmanship. Today's Kuina is just one of those few people.

As a swordsman, the goal is naturally to climb the endless path of the sword, but although the path of the sword is endless, at his current stage, he can't make any further progress.

Whether it is the red-haired Shanks or Kuina, they are not superior to him in terms of swordsmanship.

This can't help but make Hawkeye a little suspicious, isn't it... this is the pinnacle of a swordsman.

Is there no one else who can surpass this peak?

Whether or not there is a way in front of him, this is the question that Hawkeye has been pursuing since he became the world's number one swordsman.

Once he threw this question to Red-haired Shanks, but got no answer, and now he threw this question to Guina.

"Do not."

Unexpectedly, after turning around, Kuina gently put the sword back into the scabbard, and answered him with a very decisive negative.

Kuina's eyes were extremely clear, as if she could see something that the eagle eye could not see.

Hawkeye stared at Kuina's eyes, and then suddenly, as if he understood something, he turned his head to follow Kuina's gaze.

As far as the eye can see, there is a person.

Naito Yu.

"You are right."

Hawkeye turned his head, and the trace of confusion in his eyes had completely disappeared.

Naito Yu's swordsmanship, cutting off half of the great route with one sword, may no longer be the swordsmanship of humans, but the swordsmanship of gods.

But there is no doubt that this means that in the way of the sword, he can indeed go further, but he has not been able to go there.

"The number one swordsman in the world... this title belongs to you."

Although Kuina didn't beat him in the way of swordsmanship, if he beat him by one point, he won. If he couldn't even bear the burden of victory, then he wouldn't be Hawkeye.

Hearing Hawkeye's words, Kuina was a little dazed.

The world's greatest swordsman...

She finally achieved this goal. Her father once said that girls cannot be the strongest, and she broke it.

But, is what she really wants, the so-called title of number one in the world?

No.

Guina shook her head.

The bewilderment in his eyes disappeared, and he regained his understanding of his heart.

Like Hawkeye, pursuing a stronger swordsmanship is what she really wants to do, not something like the title of the world's number one swordsman.

Seeing the change of Kuina's gaze, the corner of Hawkeye's mouth showed a slight curvature, which no one could detect. I don't know if it was self-mockery, a smile, or something...

no one knows.

Hawkeye just turned around and left the battlefield directly, no longer participating in the war on the top.

Kuina stood quietly in the field, and then stepped forward, no one stopped, no one dared to stop, walked all the way to the execution platform, and stood silently behind Naito Yu.

Naito Yu glanced at her, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and then turned his head to look at Fire Fist Ace, with deep eyes.

"So, you understand?"
