One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 467 Could it be that you've already touched the threshold of the Black Blade?

Is this what a true swordsman's duel is like?

Witnessing the battle between the Black Dragon and Hawkeye firsthand, Kuina felt a chill run down her spine, yet her blood was boiling with excitement.

In her eyes, she saw only countless phantoms.

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, only fragments rippled in her eyes.

Countless shadows darted about in the air.

The trajectory is unclear.

It's like a dazzling illusion of light and shadow.

She knew it was because the speed was too fast and her eyes couldn't keep up.

It's hard to imagine that those two people had to adapt to a speed that even their own eyes couldn't keep up with.

"Pretty impressive, that Hawkeye. He used to be unable to keep up with the officer's speed."

"My strength has increased, but it's still far behind that of my superior."

"It seems he's done a lot of special training. There were rumors that Hawkeye was doing some kind of physical and strength training, saying he did hundreds of bench presses a day."

"I don't think it's any use, I'm still injured."

"Can you both see it?" Drake also couldn't clearly see the speed of the two swordsmen facing each other.

However, their predecessors seemed to have already spoken at length about this duel.

"Of course we can see it. If we didn't have that much vision, we would have been beaten to death by the officers long ago." Gran thought about it and felt a chill.

Roman's strength and speed are both top-notch.

Playing hide-and-seek with someone like Roman would be a terrible thing.

Unfortunately, Roman sometimes likes to play with the four of them.

The kind of game where if you get caught, you get punched.

Roman called it "the sweet game".

But for them, it was no different from a death game.

Thinking of Roman's power, Grant felt a cold sweat break out all over his body.

I don't know what Mihawk was thinking.

I don't know why he was so depressed.

Generally speaking, anyone who has been hit by her would never want to be hit a second time.

But Mihawk did the opposite.

The superior officer might still hold back against them.

But facing Mihawk... he'd better pray for the best.

Suddenly, the ever-changing phantoms in the eyes of the four little ones finally coalesced into a human figure.

Roman and Mihawk seemed to emerge from the distorted space, finally revealing their true faces.

Judging from the current situation, Mihawk is clearly at a disadvantage.

After all, his feet were covered in blood, and he was also injured.

"You're still so stubborn. Compared to me, your strength is too weak. You can't gain the upper hand when the blades are drawn, and this will only harm your body."

Roman felt a strange sense of pleasure at the sight of Mihawk's miserable state.

“That seems to be true.” Despite being covered in wounds, Mihawk did not seem to be affected.

His eyes were still filled with a blazing, intense fire.

His momentum has not diminished.

He then assumed his stance again and charged towards Roman.

This time, Roman opted for defense.

She thought it through clearly.

The reason he readily agreed to Mihawk's request was ultimately to benefit Guina.

However, a duel at top speed is clearly too advanced for Kuina at her current level.

After all, she can't see clearly at all, so what can you expect her to learn?

So Roman patiently negotiated with Hawkeye.

In any case, even without speed, her strength is enough to suppress Mihawk.

Since she's a Shichibukai, no one will blame her even if she's seriously injured.

"Your strength is still insufficient, Mihawk. Is this your full power? I am truly disappointed."

While exerting force, Roman didn't forget to provoke Mihawk.

She feels much more relaxed now when facing Mihawk.

The absorption of the Adam Tree and the evolution potion did indeed make her stronger.

Therefore, Mihawk is no longer a threat to her.

Previously, she was able to overpower Mihawk.

That's not a problem now either.

Generally speaking, this should be the case.

But for some reason, she didn't feel at ease.

Perhaps it's because Mihawk's fighting spirit remains strong.

It's possible that Mihawk's expression remained a satisfied smile.

Or perhaps her intuition sensed something.

Wait, his domineering aura...

Realizing the danger, Roman immediately broke free forcefully.

In terms of strength, Mihawk has an advantage that Mihawk cannot match.

Therefore, she was able to break free.

After realizing what had just happened, her face turned ashen.

“Looks like I’m not the only one who’s reached a new level, Mihawk. You’ve been holding back for a while now.” Roman said, glancing at the knife in Hawkeye’s hand.

Or, to put it more accurately, we were drawn to the domineering aura he projected.

I was absolutely not mistaken just now.

The domineering aura emanating from his sword suppressed his own domineering aura.

But how could he possibly do that...?

He even absorbed the domineering aura of the Golden Lion and made it his own.

Therefore, his domineering aura became even stronger.

How could Mihawk possibly suppress himself in terms of domineering presence?

and many more……

It can only be...

"Could it be that you've already reached the threshold of the Black Blade?"
