Dang!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

On the island, only the crisp sound of both sides fencing could be heard.

...

In the eyes of the spectators, they would not move more than five steps. All their moves were completed in these five steps.

Every attack could cause the ground under their feet to tremble slightly, causing the ground within five steps to be extremely flat and clean.

Five steps away, there was dust all over the ground as if it had formed a circle.

Clang!!

Kuro slashed at Mihawk, but he raised his blade to block it. However, the sudden huge force made him retreat. Kuro’s eyes flashed and he jumped into the air. The blade left the defense of the black blade and went straight for Mihawk’s head.

Mihawk was just about to lean his head back when he suddenly noticed something. His backward head directly changed to a side-flash, allowing the rakshasa to stab him on the side of his cheek, leaving a wound on his face. At the same time, his black blade, Night, also cut straight forward. At the same time that Kuro poked him, he also cut into the air, forcing Kuro’s body to fall down. At the same time, Mihawk twisted his blade, turning it from a horizontal slash to a downward chop, and chopped down heavily. Kuro was about to dodge to the side when he suddenly noticed something and changed his mind. He directly blocked the black blade’s slash, causing his foot to sink a little.

Bang!

At the moment of the slash, Mihawk’s black blade seemed to soften and directly slid past Luo Gui, who was holding him up. There was not even a spark and it went towards Kuro’s chest.

“It’s really soft!”

Kuro gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his foot and kicked the back of the knife. His body flashed to the right because of this force and he fell three steps away.

Both sides silently gripped their blades and stared at each other.

“Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t say that you can’t use your hands and feet. Swordsmen are also good at fighting, and feet can be used. I have seen people with feet as swords. I didn’t use Haki,” Kuro suddenly said.

Didn’t Golden Lion use his foot as a sword?

What? He lost his foot and tied it with a sword?

‘I don’t care about that.’

“I didn’t say anything. It was meant to be,” Mihawk said. “Go on.”

On the port side.

“Has it come to this?”

Ben Beckland said seriously: “It seems a little troublesome not to go out of that circle.”

“This is a tacit rule.” Shanks smiled. “Otherwise, if we really fight, it will be a life and death battle.”

In their eyes, both sides of the battle had a tacit understanding not to leave the circle within five steps.

Not only his footsteps, but even his body was not allowed to go beyond the range of five steps. Mihawk was about to lean back, but he found that once his head leaned back, he would be out of the circle, so he simply gave up that direction.

Similarly, it was the same for Kuro. If he had dodged sideways just now, he would not have to block that blade head-on. But once he dodged, although his feet were still in the circle, his body would definitely be out of bounds, so he would rather choose to block that blade.

There must be rules in everything.

A life-and-death battle has the rules of a life-and-death battle. When all means are used, it doesn’t matter if it destroys the world, because once you hold back, you will die.

However, there are also rules for sparring. Once they find that once they fight, they will not have a place to stand, then the rules for both sides will naturally change.

Now, the rules have changed. After confirming that it is just a display of swordsmanship, whoever goes out first will lose.

They consciously put shackles on themselves within the range of their movements. They had to restrain their strength, show their exquisiteness, and not leave the circle.

Both sides are using long sabers. Although they can use it at a distance of five steps, they will obviously be restrained.

Especially for Kuro, who is good at high-speed movement and prefers to torture people through speed. This kind of close-range movement is the most uncomfortable.

But fortunately, he knows this type of movement.

As for Mihawk, that knife is already strange enough. The combination of hardness and softness is very powerful. That knife can even neutralize the fierce attack he used, but for Mihawk, it has also lost the long-distance wide-range attack that he is best at.

Now, it is all about micro-manipulation.

“If this continues, it doesn’t seem right…”

Crowe, who was watching the battle at the side, said, “It took too long. It’s hard to say who will win. Now that Red Hair is here…”

As he spoke, he glanced at the redhead.

After all, they are pirates. It is normal for Crowe to pay attention to them. He can’t give the initiative to the conscience of pirates. This is absolutely impossible.

“Hey, don’t be so scared. We’re just watching the battle. Besides, you seem to be very confident? Do you think that Jinchuan will definitely win?” Shanks smiled.

“Of course!”

Leda looked up and said proudly: “Kuro has never lost, no matter who he is to!”

Yes, he had never lost.

There was a draw and a break in the battle, but they never fought to the point where they thought they had lost.

Back then, he was the most dangerous person to face Whitebeard, Kaido, Lingling, and Barrett. He never lost. He either stopped fighting or won with serious injuries.

He had never been defeated.

Now that the rules have been set, they can’t go out of the circle, and they can’t even use a large-scale attack. They can even stop their saber momentum and not let the power expand in the battle. Unless Red Hair takes the initiative to attack, no one can interfere in their battle.

Then, he could only continue fighting!

Because he had never lost before!

Kuro doesn’t think he’ll lose to Mihawk, either, especially now.

In the past, he didn’t fight because he was afraid of trouble and had to face too many things.

In addition to his reputation as the world’s number one swordsman, there is also trouble. That is a position that will be targeted by all swordsmen. He is now a Marine and has dealt with many pirates who wanted to make a name for him in G-3. If this is added to the position of the world’s number one swordsman, he will be targeted by pirates and swordsmen. He doesn’t want that feeling.

However, Kuro could not accept that he had to bet all his strength and ‘lose’.

So, fight first!

Let’s talk after the fight!

Clang!!

The blades collided and the two sides continued to fight.

The long and narrow Black-Backed Blood Blade is like a blood-red light shield when it is wielded, and the huge black blade is swung widely at one moment and soft like clouds at the next. For a moment, there is no victory or defeat.

The only thing that could be seen was that there were gradually more wounds on their bodies.

The wound was very small. It was basically pierced by the air caused by the swing of the blade.

They didn’t even need to slash, nor would they deliberately expand the power of their blades. This was just a simple natural phenomenon.

He did not use Haki to protect his body, nor did he use any other means. He only used the purest sword technique.
