One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 151 A Frenzied Fight

Often, the clash between swordsmen begins before their swords even touch. This is because momentum is also a key factor in victory or defeat, and swordsmen are experts at expressing their inner turmoil through a vessel—the blade.

After covering the long sword with Haki, he also activated his Observation Haki to its maximum.

Unfortunately, his opponent remained impeccable. Those eyes told Roman that once he got serious, nothing could sway him.

Pure sword duels often only take a few minutes to determine a winner, because swordsmen are known for killing and drawing blood, and their skills are almost all honed to cut through anything.

As if by telepathy, the two disappeared from the spot at the same time and began their dance on the edge of a knife.

This time, Roman held nothing back and used his superhuman strength.

After all, Mihawk was serious this time, and if she didn't take it seriously, she really would be killed.

After the two swords intertwined, there was first a passionate dance, then intense sparks.

This brings pressure from the opponent.

For Roman, the danger lies in Mihawk's fierce attacks. As the supreme great sword, once Night is fully mastered, its enhancement to its master is obvious.

Even if she managed to dodge it, she still had the illusion that she was being cut in half, and her body felt as if it were being torn apart, causing her pain.

Even with years of training, Mihawk could not overcome Roman's monstrous strength. If he was not careful, his knife would deviate from its original position, greatly reducing the effectiveness of his attack.

At the same time, the muscles in his upper arm were under tremendous pressure when facing Roman's slashes.

"It really hurts. I wasn't actually cut, but it still hurts a lot. But compared to the fist of our naval hero, your blade seems insignificant." Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Roman once again gained a new understanding of Mihawk's dangerousness.

“You’re not patient either, but it’s not enough.” Mihawk’s right hand, which was holding the knife, trembled slightly, but he quickly regained control.

The opponent's skill (and brute force) is astonishing. If this continues, it will likely result in mutual destruction, but it doesn't matter!

The two saw the answer in each other's eyes at the same time and then brandished their weapons again.

Every smooth clash of blades is a collision of their souls, a spiritual tempering in the face of pain.

Roman dodged with lightning speed, but he still couldn't escape the terrifying aura of Mihawk's sword. Mihawk countered Roman's fierce attacks with exquisite technique, but his arm, bearing the pressure, was struck heavily each time.

Under the same pain, their swords seemed to resonate with each other, uttering a lament.

It seemed that the sword also sensed its master's pain, and thus emitted a mournful cry.

However, it might just be a hallucination caused by pain.

Roman felt like the string in his mind was about to snap.

Because she had to endure the pain of her body breaking several times, in her senses she had been cut into countless pieces, but she still could not stop the butcher's knife she was wielding.

She suffered such a great loss; Mihawk's hand should be crippled at least.

If possible, let's cripple his left hand. After all, he still needs to be a Shichibukai. If his right hand is destroyed, it will cause him a lot of trouble...

Ah, as expected, it's been a while since the Charlotte family incident. Although it's not usually noticeable, it's still hard to correct the habit of going crazy when emotionally agitated.

In that instant, Roman felt her own madness. All she wanted was to cut off Mihawk's arm.

Meanwhile, her domineering aura is constantly plundering Mihawk's night through her swords.

Mihawk also noticed this.

The most obvious problem was that he noticed his domineering aura attached to the night had disappeared, which was very strange.

The night, now devoid of its domineering aura, was clearly unable to withstand Roman's fierce attack. In the ensuing intense clash, the sword was violently knocked away and then launched a direct attack on Mihawk.

In an instant, Mihawk suffered a severe injury to his left shoulder.

Unfortunately, there was no possibility of continuing, as Mihawk had applied Armament Haki to his body.

Stimulated by the blood, Roman regained a little more consciousness. She was somewhat surprised by the result, but it was clearly not enough to determine the final winner.

"You used to hurt me like this before, I never thought I'd get my revenge today." Although he said it lightly, Roman deliberately increased the force of his blows.

But Mihawk's expression remained unchanged: "You've become much stronger, but it's not enough. I need to witness more interesting things." With that, he unleashed an even more ferocious slash at Roman.

In a duel between swordsmen, close-quarters combat is the most dangerous, because either one could take the other's life in the next second.

Roman was clearly a bit surprised. Even injured, Mihawk could launch such a ferocious attack. If he hadn't blocked it, he feared he would have been on his way to meet his maker. But at this crucial moment, it seemed he really couldn't stop him.

One-Sword Style ~ Water Sword Dance.

Endless seawater converged and surged towards the two of them, vowing to devour them.

They would be seriously injured, but it would be better than facing Mihawk's attack directly.

Let's see who can survive the waves, in this boundless water sword dance.

This move was also something she came up with herself: letting her sword energy flow freely in the water to attack enemies.

But I never expected to fall for this trick.

The sword dance successfully interrupted Mihawk's slash, but in response, the two began to suffer cuts from the water pressure and the sword energy in the water.

Crimson blood was immediately scattered everywhere, like beads.

And the accompanying intense pain traveled through the limbs and bones, constantly stimulating the nerves, making it impossible to even faint.

To this end, under the water pressure, Roman covered her entire body with her domineering aura as a shallow defense. This time, she used iron blocks, which made her feel a little more comfortable.

Although Mihawk was already injured, blood loss was calculated based on weight, and Roman was a little curious about who would be the first to give up.

Ironically, after adopting basic defensive stances, the two continued to fight instinctively in the water.

No one was willing to admit defeat, or rather, no one dared to slack off, after all, this was a matter of life and death.

Mihawk might not necessarily want to kill her, but he definitely doesn't want to lose.

Roman didn't intend to kill Mihawk, but she genuinely wanted to cripple him.

Thus, a fierce sword fight eventually evolved into a duel of wills.

Whoever slacks off first is the loser.

In a daze, Roman suddenly saw a beautiful fish tail, shimmering in the endless sea, incredibly beautiful.
