But the next second, a sharp sword beam still struck towards Roman.
Once the sword is drawn, Mihawk cannot leave empty-handed. Hesitation in the face of endless sword intent will only invite ridicule.
Roman had no choice but to face the challenge head-on.
Ittō-ryū ~Sword Rain~
The surrounding waves immediately surged up, converging into a powerful force that blocked Mihawk's attack. Then, the uncontrollable force quickly destroyed the ship beneath Mihawk and Roman's feet, and then triggered another wave.
Even in such a critical situation, Mihawk remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic. He even said with satisfaction, "You've become much stronger than last time."
"There's no need for such superior-to-subordinate talk, but this time you'll probably have to swim back like me." Using his Moonwalk in the air, Roman barely escaped the residual force of his own attack, while Mihawk simply swung his sword lightly, cutting the incoming wave in two. However, the overwhelming aura emanating from the blade proved that he wasn't so relaxed either.
Even Mihawk found it difficult to fully withstand the power of nature; his body was slightly scratched by the seawater, but this was still insufficient. At this moment, he could still stand leisurely on a broken wooden plank.
As expected, the power of seawater is limited against non-Devil Fruit users. Looking at the largely unharmed Mihawk, Roman felt a little disappointed.
Any attack related to water will instinctively agitate and frighten the Devil Fruit user, and their first thought will not be to fight back, but to escape. This allows Roman's wide-range attacks to succeed. However, in front of Mihawk, this move is only good for show and cannot pose a real threat to Mihawk.
Moreover, he is constantly getting stronger.
Roman could sense that the sword, refined over the years by Hawkeye's powerful Haki, was already showing signs of developing into a black sword. Once completed, even if the swordsman did not actively use Haki, the sword would still possess its own Haki and be able to strike natural elemental attacks.
If I continue to maintain the habit of frequently changing swords, then I need to further stimulate my Haki, so that even without the Black Blade and Conqueror's Haki, I still have the power to cut through everything.
I've already felt the power Mihawk just used, so I'll just return the power Mihawk just displayed to him exactly as it was.
Thinking of this, Roman gave Mihawk a malicious smile and launched a fierce slash in mid-air, signaling the start of the battle against Mihawk with overwhelming force.
He actually mastered his own moves.
Mihawk smiled as he watched the slash coming from the air.
A terrifying talent, a terrifying swordsman. If she were truly dedicated to the way of the sword and were a few years older than me, I would probably be no match for her now. But even if you can comprehend my current attack, my counterattack is always stronger than my first.
Unleashing his domineering aura to the fullest, Mihawk charged straight at Roman, cleaving Roman's attack, or rather, his own initial strike, in two with a horizontal slash.
The scattered slashes crashed directly into the sea, creating huge splashes and triggering another small tsunami.
Haha, I've been tricked.
Roman looked at Mihawk, his malice resurfacing once more.
She hadn't expected these moves to defeat Mihawk. After all, he was the future number one swordsman. Although he was benefiting from the second male lead's fame and his status was constantly rising, Roman knew that Mihawk was definitely not a half-baked expert.
Furthermore, Roman did indeed hope that Mihawk could join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, as he was a stabilizing factor. Therefore, her original intention was just to tease him a little.
The waves that this time caused will probably completely destroy the wooden planks beneath his feet; after all, this is the power of her power, and also the power of Mihawk's swordsmanship.
As expected, the already fragile plank could barely support Mihawk's weight, but it was then smashed to pieces by the waves, and Mihawk had no choice but to gloriously fall into the water.
Swordsmen's duels are often very pure, with all their attention focused on the opponent's attacks.
However, Roman never considered himself a pure swordsman. As long as he could achieve his goal, he would use whatever was necessary and be flexible when necessary. One cannot be trapped by one's own limitations.
Although Mihawk retained his aristocratic air upon entering the water, his aristocratic clothing inevitably suffered damage.
Having worn aristocratic clothing many times, Roman was very familiar with their absorbent properties.
Mihawk was truly a brave man. In the harsh weather of the New World, he dared to ride in a coffin boat, wearing clothes that easily absorbed water, and yet he never capsized.
Roman felt it was necessary to teach him a lesson, to let him know that pretending to be cool wasn't so easy.
Even if you're really good at pretending, I'll make you lose all face.
"So, do you want to have a swimming race with me?" Roman "deliberately" gave Mihawk a way out. After all, it wasn't a good option to spar on the sea without any real objects. Since he didn't want to have a direct confrontation with Mihawk, he went along with it and extended an invitation.
But Roman couldn't help but secretly laugh at Mihawk.
Let you pretend all you want.
However, Mihawk's stubbornness exceeded Roman's expectations. Looking at the pirate ship that appeared on the distant coastline, he suddenly said, "Now we have a good place."
