Chapter 500: Nauito Vs. Mihawk
Chapter 500: Nauito Vs. Mihawk
In the field.
Naito’s sword intent rushed out into the sky.
“So, this is sword intent.”
Although Naito had no strength at all and didn’t recover yet, his vision was sharp, and his swordsmanship was always strong, so he efficiently analyzed and achieved the power of sword intent.
What made Naito a little surprised was that after observing Mihawk’s sword intent, he tried to condense his own sword intent, and this seemed to have caused some misunderstanding with Mihawk.
However, it’s okay if he misunderstood it.
Naito wasn’t gonna try and explain to him why he did it. Instead, he smirked, looking at Mihawk in front of him, the sword intent in his body burst again stronger!
Hum!
As the sword intent burst out, the sky seemed to be trembling.
Mihawk wasn’t underestimating Naito, a person who has such presence, and overly domineering sword intent, wouldn’t be weak.
Feeling that that Naito’s sword intent has burst out again, and this time even overshadowed his, Mihawk’s expression became more serious, and he said in a deep voice.
“Your name is…?”
“Yuu Naito.”
Naito responded softly.
This name made Mihawk’s eyes flash with a hint of doubt. He never heard of Naito’s name before, but that hint of doubt only lasted for a second.
“Dracule Mihawk.”
Although he knew that Naito should know who he was, following the manners of a swordsman, Mihawk said his name, and at the same time move Yoru in front of him, and said, “The sword is, Yoru!”
Seeing that Naito didn’t hold a sword in his hand and didn’t seem to have a sword on his body, Mihawk’s eye flashed with a hint of doubt again.
“Sword, Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.”
(T/N: Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds)
Naito didn’t make Mihawk wonder for long. The moment he called that name, he stretched his hand to grab the void, the light flowed, then a golden sword appeared in his hand.
This sword wasn’t the Kusanagi Sword Naito used before, but later, when Naito was bored, he made another one by himself, which could perfectly fit into his body.
The moment Mihawk saw this sword, a ray of light flashed in his eyes.
As the greatest swordsman of this world, Mihawk immediately knew how strong this sword is.
Although it looks a lot like a sword made by Kizaru, the man in front of him wasn’t Kizaru, and this sword wasn’t just made by light. Mihawk could perceive its shape.
This sword is not one of the twelve supreme great swords, nor one of the twenty-one great grade swords, and it has the ability to integrate into the body. This is mostly a sword that has eaten a devil fruit.
Humans can eat devil fruits, and objects can also “eat” it.
Although it is rather strange, it’s not particularly surprising to Mihawk, as the world’s greatest swordsman, he saw all sorts of things.
As for the people in the distance, they were not so knowledgeable. Most of them looked surprised when they saw Naito’s sword.
“Weird sword.”
“However, even if the sword is strange, it’s useless. The person he’s facing is Mihawk.”
“Yes, if it was possible to defeat Mihawk with a strange sword, he wouldn’t have been the greatest swordsman.”
As they kept discussing, Mihawk, who was holding his Yoru, suddenly let out of his sword intent.
Hum!!
Without even moving an inch, the battle began, and a strong sword intent swept in all directions as if the air had turned into countless sharp-bladed that could cut the flesh and skin.
Looking at Naito from a distance, Mihawk held Yoru with one hand, raised it high, then swung it down.
Boom!!
Instantly, a cyan sword energy tore the earth, whistling towards Naito like a blue dragon.
“This is a purely physical slash… and it’s very powerful.”
Seeing this sword energy tearing everything through, as if it was gonna cut everything on its way into two, Naito was fearless, and there was a flash of happiness on his face.
This kind of sword energy is similar to his shock wave, but the difference is that his Shock Force is an attack that relies on energy, but this sword energy is simply a slash with a sword!
This blue dragon-like sword energy power, movement, and the way it was released were all clear in Naito’s perception, and the whole process kept replaying in detail several times in Naito’s mind.
At the next moment, Naito also raised his sword, then waved it.
Whoosh!!!!
A golden energy sword suddenly rushed out, took the form of a heavenly golden dragon, then tore the earth as it swept forward.
The two sword energies suddenly collided, and suddenly a thunderous roar was emitted.
Boom!!!
In the confrontation between these two dragons, the earth suddenly split, as if it turned into an abyss, and the cracks spread to both sides instantly.
At the same time, Naito’s sword energy was defeated, and the cyan sword energy continued to fly toward Naito, but its color was dimmed a lot.
“It’s powerful.”
His sword energy couldn’t stop Mihawk’s, but Naito didn’t expect any less. He just learned how to use it, and if the sword energy he can surpass Mihawk’s, then this so-called world’s greatest swordsman title would be worthless.
In the original, when the war was on top, Diamond Jozu, the Third Division’s Captain of White Beard’s Crew, wanted to block Mihawk’s sword energy. But in the end, he only managed to push it to the sky and let it explode. He couldn’t completely resist it.
Using such strong sword energy is the ultimate level of swordsmanship!
Naito directly placed the sword in his hand in front of him. The cyan sword aura swept across, then it hit Naito’s Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, making a loud sound on the impact, and finally exploded.
The violent blue dragon finally shattered, and Naito’s figure appeared again unharmed, he looked like an unshakable mountain, he blocked Mihawk’s attack and didn’t even take a step back; only a piece of his clothes was torn!
“He blocked it?!”
“He perfectly blocked Mihawk’s attack…”
Those in the distance who thought Naito would be killed in seconds watched this scene shocked; they never expected him to block it.
However, Naito’s sword energy was obviously weaker than Mihawk’s just now, and Naito should still be unable to defeat him.
Thinking about this, these people looked no longer as shocked as before and continued to observe the battlefield.
“Interesting.”
Mihawk watched this scene, then a sharp look appeared in his eyes. It wasn’t sword energy, this time, Mihawk personally rushed towards Naito, and Yoru suddenly fell.
Facing Mihawk’s cut, Naito swung his sword to greet him without any fear.
Ding!!!
Yoru and Kusunagi suddenly collided with each other, making a resonant metallic sound.
The swords collided, and the ground behind Naito was torn apart instantly, creating an abyss that spread to the distance.
However, under this pressure, Naito stood firm and calm and didn’t take a step back.
If seemed and felt unshakable, as if he has experienced wind and waved ten times stronger than this!
