Chapter 274 1 The positive flow of laughter [2]

Akainu instinctively wanted to dodge because Yixiao's sword gave him a very bad feeling.

But just when he used his observation Haki to predict Yixiao's movements.

He froze, because the sword was approaching him. It was as if his observation Haki had failed for a moment.

At the last moment, Akainu turned sideways and narrowly avoided the attack.

"brush..."

But there was a cut on his clothes on his chest. The blood soon dyed the area red. It was obviously caused by Yixiao's knife.

It hurt him.

At this time, Akainu first lowered his head to look at his chest. Although this injury was at most a superficial wound for a strong man of their level.

But if you're hurt, you're hurt.

When he raised his head and looked at Yixiao, his eyes changed.

"what..."

Not only Akainu, but also Will and Kizaru who were watching the show on the side could not help but let out a sound of surprise. Because, the sword that just smiled was real to them.

It was an ordinary sword, just a horizontal cut.

A move that any swordsman can use.

No, even if you are not a swordsman. As long as you are a person, you can use it with a sword, at most it is a little unstandard. After all, this horizontal cut is a basic sword move...

Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible to hurt Akainu.

But Akainu happened to be hurt.

So, there was something fishy about that sword strike just now, but they didn't see it.

Compared to Will and Kizaru, who were just bystanders, Akainu had personal experience. He was extremely shocked and murmured, "What kind of swordsmanship is this? It can actually affect the observation Haki. This is really unheard of... Is it the positive energy?"

He decided in his heart that if he could return alive this time, he would definitely investigate this positive energy flow.

Yixiao put away his sword and stroked the blade with his hand: "How long has it been? It's been so long that I almost forgot that I am a swordsman... You are also excited!"

Ever since he gained the power of the Juju Fruit, he hadn't faced the enemy as a mere swordsman for a long time.

The corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly: "Master is right. The power of the devil fruit is a bondage to the swordsman. If you can't break this bondage, then you will never become a great swordsman."

He had never really understood it before, or rather, he had been lost in the improvement brought by the devil fruit.

The appearance of Akainu left him helpless as he was unable to combine his domineering aura with his abilities. Then he remembered... his original intention of eating the ability of the Juju Fruit.

Abilities are only auxiliary, for dealing with some special situations.

Swordsmanship and domineering attitude are the paths he really wants to take.

The crooked sword in Yixiao's hand seemed to understand human speech and was vibrating silently. As Yixiao continued to stroke the sword, he and the sword actually resonated with each other.

The whole person's aura has changed again, and it is even more powerful than before. If it was just sharp before, now it is full of sharpness.

Now a smile is the sword in your hand.

Man and sword become one, reaching the realm of a great swordsman.

Akainu, Kizaru, and Will were all shocked. There were many sword masters in the whole ocean.

Like the Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Doberman, Ghost Spider, and Stoloberry, they are all swordsmen.

There are only a handful of true great swordsmen.

Only six were listed.

First, Hawkeye

Known as the world's greatest swordsman, he is Shanks's nemesis and friend, and also Zoro's mentor.

Shimotsuki Ryoma refined the great sword Shusui into a black sword, and Hawkeye refined the supreme great sword Yami into a black sword. The title of the great swordsman is beyond doubt.

If he is not a great swordsman, who else dares to call himself a great swordsman?

Second place: Shimotsuki Ryoma

Ryoma Shimotsuki was a figure who lived between 400 and 500 AD. He killed a flying dragon and saved Wano Country, but this is just one of his legends. His strength made people from overseas dare not invade Wano Country, and they also knew the power of samurai.

Later, Ryoma was called the God of Swords, and he was the first man to refine his sword into a black sword. His strength was naturally beyond doubt, and he was definitely the world's number one swordsman at the time.

Third place: Shanks

Shanks = Oda.

In addition to his swordsmanship, Shanks is also recognized by anime fans as the best at domineering (apart from the reclusive Im). His swordsmanship is extremely strong, and he often competes and fights with Hawkeye. In a data picture, it was mentioned that Shanks is a top-notch swordsman in the world.

Although Shanks has a broken arm now, his overall strength is still superior to the strongest of the Four Emperors. Although he is no longer the world's greatest swordsman, he is still the top swordsman, second only to Hawkeye.

By the way, Shanks doesn’t have a black sword of his own, so his ranking is lower than these two.

Fourth place: Foil Vista

Vista is the captain of the fifth team of the Whitebeard Pirates. He is very strong in swordsmanship. The official data collection and life card illustrations all mention that he is one of the greatest swordsmen in the world.

A swordsman who can be recognized by Hawkeye is enough to show his strength and status in the new world. Therefore, Flower Sword Vista is very strong, but he has not waited for the opportunity to truly show it. Maybe Blackbeard will have a chance to see it.

5. Shimotsuki Beef Ball

Shimotsuki Ushimaru is the descendant of Shimotsuki Ryoma. He is a daimyo and a veritable swordsman. In Chapter 1023, Oda-sensei spoke of this through Kawamatsu, and it was here that the connection between Ryoma, Ushimaru and Zoro was laid.

Gyumaru Shimotsuki is very strong. 20 years ago, he fought against Kaido together with two other daimyos. Unfortunately, they were facing the monster Kaido, and in the end all three of them died. It’s not that Gyumaru is weak, but that Kaido is too strong.

Although he is not as good as the first two, his reputation as a great swordsman was pointed out by the great Oda.

The sixth one is Fujitora Ichisho

It's just that Yixiao's title of great swordsman is somewhat unacceptable to some people, because he is both capable and swordsmanship. In other words, ability is more important than swordsmanship.

It makes him more like a capable person.

Just like Law, and the user of the Float-Float Fruit under Doflamingo. He is not just a pure swordsman. More importantly, he has other abilities besides his moves.

He did not display any powerful swordsmanship, the sword in his hand seemed to be just a medium for him to display his abilities.

But at this moment, a smile.

The strength of the great swordsman cannot be questioned, because he has truly entered this level.

Not only that, his observation Haki and armament Haki have also taken a step forward. He is the type who can achieve great success with great accumulation.

All aspects are in place, the only thing missing is a state of mind.

In terms of overall strength, he was originally at the level of a general. Now his strength is approaching the level of an emperor....

"The Dark Dog..."

Akainu took the initiative and quickly stretched out his lava-like arms to attack Yixiao.

This move is not only very fast, but also extremely powerful. In the original comic, Akainu used this move to knock off half of Whitebeard's face.

This is definitely one of the most powerful moves among all of Akainu's moves.

At this moment, Armament Haki appeared on Yixiao's body again, and his arms and sword were all wrapped in Armament Haki.

Then take a deep breath.

The Observation Haki easily captured Akainu's attack and made a prediction.
