Chapter 1033: Fast and Slow Blade (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The big black sword, Night, is not a general samurai sword, nor is it a Youta sword. From the hilt, it is the structure of a Western sword.
However, in terms of the sword, this is also a Youta Sword. It is very huge and it is a black sword. It is very hard.
And this black saber was personally refined by Mihawk!
“Hu…”
Kuro exhaled, and his breath hit the ground like a sword.
“Are you ready?”
Mihawk pointed his black blade at Kuro and said in a deep voice, “Then, it’s my turn to make the first move!”
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Mihawk lowered his body and lowered the brim of his hat with one hand, and his body went straight out. The black blade drew a black light in the air and directly cut towards Kuro.
Kuro narrowed his eyes and was about to slash with Autumn Water, but as soon as his knife moved, he found that the opposite knife did not come. All he could see was Mihawk’s smile.
Kuro’s pupils shrank and his body bent down subconsciously.
Whoosh!
A black light brushed past his head, but just as the blade reached the middle, Mihawk’s blade turned and fell straight down.
Dang!
Kuro circled his hand behind his back and blocked Mihawk’s downward slash. At the moment of blocking, a golden slash flew from the blade and knocked Mihawk’s black blade away.
Mihawk frowned and the black blade that had just been blocked pressed down fiercely, bringing out a wave of air. The dark green slash burst out and shattered the golden slash that had yet to come out of the body and directly slashed down.
Boom!!
The ground was cut open and the black blade directly passed through Kuro’s body, turning him into an afterimage and disappearing.
Crack!
The sound of a blade being unsheathed came from Mihawk’s side, and he appeared next to Mihawk in the air, in the form of a katana, with a flick of his left thumb, the blade was out of the sheath and directly turned into three rays of black light and hacked down.
“Swallow Return!”
“Oh? One Sword God’s skill?”
Mihawk was slightly startled, his eyes showing appreciation.
Seeing others take this move, he wondered if he could break it. Now it was finally his turn to take this move.
“I have to admit that the swordsmanship of this move has indeed surpassed the inhuman realm!”
Mihawk praised as he held the sword with both hands and slashed forward. His speed was so fast that only afterimages could be seen, and the speed at which Kuro pulled out the sword was not inferior.
Just as the three blades formed by Swallow Reversal approached Mihawk, Mihawk’s blade also approached Kuro’s waist and ribs. His formation was even three times faster than his!
Kuro clicked his tongue and quickly retracted his blade to block. Autumn Water’s black blade directly hit Mihawk’s blade.
Dang!
The blades collided. Mihawk exerted force with both hands and suddenly slashed forward. A huge force spread out, causing Kuro’s figure in the air to fly straight back.
After the blade swung away, Mihawk turned the blade again and directly chopped down vertically, bringing up a huge dark green slash.
Kuro flipped in the air and put Autumn Water back into the scabbard. As his body turned around, he instantly pulled out the blade and a golden slash flew out to counter it.
Boom!!
The slash collided with the slash, directly causing an explosion and a shock wave.
Whoosh!
However, just as the dust of the explosion was formed, another dark green slash came over.
Kuro was stunned and raised his hand to continue slashing.
However, just as this slash was done, another slash suddenly flew from the side, blocking the gap between Kuro’s swings.
Buzz!
The slash cut through the air and made a sound, quickly passing through Kuro’s body at a faster speed than before, but it only caused a ripple.
Kuro instantly disappeared, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of Mihawk, who had already arrived on the other side. His steps were slightly bent, and he was in a posture of drawing his sword. Autumn Water was lifted up, and he didn’t even completely unsheathe his sword, and the light of slashing appeared on Mihawk’s side.
“Hundred Shadow Slash!”
However, as soon as this slash was formed, Mihawk quickly dodged to the side and at the same time, Night raised its black blade and was about to slash down.
Kuro directly pulled out his sword to block, but at this moment, he suddenly found that he had already made his move, but Mihawk’s blade did not cut down.
“My knife, the trajectory is not so easy to guess.”
Mihawk smiled and the blade slashed down at this time, directly turning into a black light and approaching. Just as the black light came close to Autumn Water, it suddenly turned and drew a ‘Z’ shape like lightning, directly bypassing Autumn Water and cutting Kuro’s neck.
Shua!
With a slash, it still caused ripples, and Kuro’s afterimage disappeared.
“Hey, what happened to sparring?”
From nearby, Kuro stared at Mihawk and asked, “You have the intention to kill me.”
“I bet the position of the number one swordsman in the world. If you die at this level, it should not be.” Mihawk laughed.
“Che…”
Kuro exhaled and looked at his knife. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Fast and Slow Swordsmanship, Hard and Soft?”
“Oh? Did you discover it so quickly?”
Mihawk adjusted his posture and smiled. “Exactly.”
From the moment Mihawk made the first strike, Kuro had felt it. That strike clearly made his Kenbonshoku (Observation) sense and react in advance, but it was a waste of his resistance. Mihawk didn’t make a move at all, but his swordsmanship made Kuro have the illusion that he had already made a move, and when he made a move, the strike came.
Fortunately, he was fast and dodged the blade.
When using the Swallow Reversal, Mihawk displayed a fast movement that was completely inconsistent with the big black knife, and the speed of his slash was even faster than his Swallow Reversal.
The Return of the Swallow is more of a three-saber slashing speed, which can be said to be a sure-hit move in close combat, but Mihawk’s horizontal slash directly breaks it. Facing this move of his, the best way is indeed not to resist, but to attack instead of defending.
When he sent out the slash, he had just used two slashes to block two of his slashes when an even faster slash appeared.
And this last move, I just can’t f*cking guess it!
You think he chopped down, but he was just a step slower, but the speed of his blade was not slow.
The speed was so fast that no one could figure it out. If it weren’t for his quick reaction, he wouldn’t have been able to stop it.
Only he can do such a fast and slow knife!
The world’s number one swordsman is indeed very strong!
“Kuro…”
Mihawk said, “Back then, when we competed for the first time, I said that you didn’t have a good blade. Now that you have one, you can let me experience your powerful swordsmanship. It wasn’t enough back then, but now, it’s enough.”
Kuro closed his eyes and stood still. He raised Autumn Water in front of his chest and quickly wiped his fingers, and a golden light enveloped Autumn Water.
“Then as you wish…”
