One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 468 With the Black Knife, Are You Invincible?

The original work does not specify when Mihawk became the first swordsman.

However, a reasonable assumption can be drawn that he became the number one swordsman around the time he acquired the black sword.

According to Lenovo, Zoro set sail because of that man's name...

If we extrapolate from this, it should be within the next few years.

In a few years, this man will possess the black sword and become the greatest swordsman in the world.

“I thought you had already crossed that threshold,” Mihawk’s voice rang out.

If it weren't for the fact that his words sounded so ardent and his gaze so composed, Roman would have thought he was mocking him.

A black sword is a weapon forged from the power of a swordsman.

It is born from the power of swordsmen.

If mastered, the swordsman will not need to deliberately apply domineering aura to it, but can create even greater power.

It can be considered the highest level of swordsmanship.

Compared to Mihawk, I am indeed only a mediocre swordsman.

Mihawk didn't mean to mock his own thoughts, but Roman gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Unlike most swordsmen who have a fixed sword.

Roman often acts according to his own preferences.

In this respect, she is extremely fickle.

The weapons have been replaced batch after batch.

She even gave up the famous sword she obtained from the Golden Lion and handed it over to Bucky to handle.

Because ultimately, her weapon was just a weapon.

She can't be considered her partner.

Of course, you can discard them at will.

But most people think differently from her.

They cherish their companions dearly.

Thinking about it carefully, it's probably because Mihawk used it year after year that the night became a black blade.

"In terms of swordsmanship alone, I am no match for you, but in terms of strength alone, even if you have the Black Blade, what can it change?"

Their struggles have always been a contest between the strong and the weak.

The key is never the black knife

As Roman spoke, her aura suddenly shifted.

Anyone who experiences this will feel uncomfortable, both physically and mentally.

I feel sick.

I feel so dizzy.

headache.

My hands are shaking.

The four little ones were most stimulated by Roman's overly strong domineering aura.

They haven't mastered the art of dominance yet.

Faced with such terrifying Conqueror's Haki, one would naturally find it difficult to resist.

They were all pale-faced.

Faced with absolute power, they felt their own insignificance.

Or rather, the group of four also started to feel very uncomfortable.

As for Mihawk...

"You're still as terrifying as ever."

Mihawk, who was facing Roman, knew best the limits of Roman's domineering aura.

This could be considered a form of psychological attack.

It felt like countless silver needles were piercing his skull.

It's important to know that mental discomfort can also affect performance.

"Don't even mention that you're only half-baked now. Even if you really had the Black Knife, it's still unknown whether you could beat me. But that's fine, let me see just how capable you really are."

Having the Black Knife doesn't mean you're invincible.

That's just progress in social class.

Do you think you're invincible right now?

It's a joke.

This time, Roman went all out.

Although Mihawk did not master the Black Blade technique, there is no doubt that he has indeed stepped into the threshold.

The fact that it can suppress her domineering aura is the best evidence.

Since that's the case, she might as well just lift the restrictions.

A domineering black aura, like a wisp of black mist, appeared and disappeared around Roman.

The black mist swirled around Roman's body, eventually converging on her right hand.

The Flow of the Sword – Slash.

Like a black storm, it swept across the battlefield between Roman and Mihawk.

The violent force ripped up the cement on the ground.

A hit from that move would be enough to shatter your bones. But even so, you wouldn't back down, would you, Mihawk?

Roman, seeing Mihawk standing motionless, already knew his next move.

And just as she had predicted, Mihawk went straight into the game.

He went straight into the storm as it was fierce.

Even with new wounds appearing, he remained fearless and launched an attack on Roman.

Countless white sword lights began to emerge from the storm.

In just a moment, Roman was also drawn into the most intense battlefield.

At this moment, the air was filled with the glint of swords and the shadows of spears.

Occasionally, you can see streaks of blood floating out of the wounds.

Under the attack of the two, space once again became distorted in the field of vision.

The black figure seemed to be retreating amidst the white sword light.

But that's not enough, Mihawk.

not enough.

Your technique isn't enough.

Even a black knife won't do.

Aren't you a swordsman known for your madness?

Today, let's see who's crazier.

Roman unleashed her full power once again. This time, she focused it all on her sword.

The sword is the vessel of her power, and also the amplifier of her might.

She knew what she had to do.

Since things are already in such a mess, let yourself absorb it.

Sword Returns—Devouring.

As Roman unleashed his domineering power, flashes of sword light appeared.

Everything fell silent again.

Apart from the ground that had just been severely damaged, no one could know what they had just experienced.
