Chapter 29: 29 Clash of Swordmaster
"It's Hawkeye!"
"Is the world's strongest swordsman going to make a move?"
"Yes, we still have the Ouka Shicibukai, and the Whitebeard Pirates won't have an easy time landing on Marineford!"
The marines cheered with excitement.
"Guurararaa~"
"Hawkeye boy, it's still too early for you to challenge me!"
Not only did Whitebeard not get angry, he burst out laughing.
With a raised arm, he punched the air hard as the slash approached.
BOOM!
Strong sound ringing.
The powerful shock wave spread, surging out like raging waves.
Under everyone's gaze, the powerful vibration collided with the shocking slash.
BOOM!
A dull thud echoed through the air.
Then.
The slash... shattered!
The immensely powerful attack, upon contact with the shockwave, crumbled into countless pieces!
The devastating shockwave surged forward, relentlessly crashing into Hawkeye.
"How can it be?"
"Are you kidding, how can this be?!"
"Did Hawkeye hold back his full strength?"
The Marine soldiers were filled with horror.
They never expected the attack of the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye, to be easily deflected.
But soon, they remember.
Hawkeye's opponent is none other than Whitebeard!
With a single punch, even the Admirals of Marine Headquarters were injured by the world's strongest man!
At the same time, they also understand that it's not that Hawkeye didn't use his full power.
But Whitebeard is too strong!
Whitebeard's strength is so strong that even if Hawkeye uses his full power, he can't match him!
Marine officers who witnessed it were shocked to the core.
Whitebeard's terrifying power once again exceeded their wildest imaginations!
Regardless of the Marine Admirals or the world's number one swordsman,
In front of this figure, all their pride has been shattered!
BOOM!
The shockwave arrived.
Hawkeye's eyes narrowed as he swiftly raised his sword, blocking the oncoming force.
Clang~
The clash of metal resounded as the strong impact caused Hawkeye's arm to tremble.
His body was forcefully pushed back, sliding several meter before finally coming to a stop.
The arm was torn by the powerful shockwave, causing intense pain.
"He's too strong!"
Hawkeye's eyes widened in disbelief.
He never expected to be pushed back by Whitebeard.
Suppressing the shock within, Hawkeye took a deep breath and raised his sword once more.
Cling!
Struggling with all his might, Hawkeye slashed with both arms!
The sword light burst forth like lightning, cutting through all obstacles and cleaving towards Whitebeard.
Faced with an even more powerful slash, Whitebeard refrained from making any further moves.
As the commander-in-chief of the war, he held his ground without making a move.
His role was not only to coordinate the overall situation but also to intimidate the Marines.
If he intended to act alone, why would he gather so many prisoners to join him?
For Hawkeye, a counterattack is enough.
"Is he the world strongest swordsman?"
"Having been imprisoned in Eternal Hell for so long, let me test his strength and see how strong the current strongest swordsman really is!"
Just as the slash was about to hit Moby Dick, Redfield stepped forward and shielded Whitebeard.
With a swift motion, Redfield positioned his umbrella sword horizontally in front of him.
As the slashing attack drew nearer, Redfield raised his arm and swiftly swung it.
Cling!
The sharp sound of air being pierced erupted.
A massive and unparalleled slash appeared, colliding with Hawkeye's attack.
BOOM!
A thunderous clash echoed through the air.
The intense and powerful energy rippled out, stirring the surroundings and rustling people's clothes..
In an instant, the light flashed and the sword light vanished.
And there stood Redfield, by Whitebeard's side, capturing everyone's complete attention..
"So scary~"
"Another powerful figure appeared."
Kizaru straightened his body, a look of surprise filled his eyes.
"Whitebeard, that bastard, released these criminals after going to Impel Down!"
Akainu couldn't help but unfold his arms and stood up abruptly.
He gazed into the distance, fixing his gaze on the group of individuals standing behind Whitebeard..
"'Red Count' Patrick Redfield, 'The Destroyer' Byrnndi World, 'Devil Heir' Douglass Bullet, 'Shichibukai' Jinbei, former 'Shichibukai' Sand Crocodile, Revolutionary Army Emporio Ivankov, Inazuma, 'Strawhat' brat Monkey D Luffy, 'Crescent Moon Hunter' Catarina Devon, 'Colossal Battleship' Sanjuan Wolf, 'Heavy Drinker' Vasco Shot, 'Corrupt King' Avalo Pizarro!"
"Whitebeard released all these criminals!"
"Furthermore, why is Shiryu of the Rain, the former Chief of Impel Down, standing behind Whitebeard? Has he betrayed the World Government?!"
Sengoku on the execution stage was sweating nervously.
Before, his gaze had been fixed on Whitebeard, Commander and allied Captains, completely disregarding the group of people behind Whitebeard.
Now that Redfield had appeared, they immediately caught his attention.
He was shocked by what he saw.
He noticed that the individuals behind Whitebeard were all formidable figures who had made a significant impact on the sea.
Among them, Redfield, Bullet, and World were renowned monsters from the New World in the old era.
Their simultaneous appearance at this moment made him feel a sense of impending catastrophe.
Their combined forces alone are already comparable to that of the Four Emperors!
In other words…
Now, two Four Emperors are joining forces to attack Marineford!
"Um?"
Hawkeye's surprise grew as he realized his slash had been blocked. He turned his gaze towards the figure in vibrant red.
"Hawkeye Mihawk, the world's strongest swordsman, let me be your opponent!"
Redfield jumped down.
Approaching Hawkeye, the red figure extended a courteous gesture, raising his bat umbrella and pointing it directly at him.
"Red Count Patrick Redfield!"
Hawkeye's expression shifted, his eyes growing sharper and more focused.
Redfield's long imprisonment has left many young people unaware of his existence.
But he is the world's number one swordsman.
How could he never have heard the name of Red Count Patrick Redfield?
Facing this kind of great swordsman, Hawkeye responded with a respectful gesture, accepting the duel.
Swish
As the wind blew, a shooting cannon and flames erupted. Both of them charged forward at the same time.
Their bodies moved with lightning speed, their swords intertwining in a mesmerizing dance. Then, simultaneously, they turned their gaze and unleashed sweeping sword strikes!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sparks flew in all directions, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Their intense battle created a wide open space, devoid of any obstacles.
The fierce sword aura sent chills down everyone's spine.
