Mihawk vs Solo

Chapter 197: Mihawk vs Solo

Mihawk didn't care who the winner of the war. Right now, he just wants to experience how strong is Solo's swordsmanship. Mihawk exuded an incomparably powerful aura, swung his hand vigorously, and pointed Yoru at the ice.

Solo doesn't care about winning or losing at all, he has no desire for the title of world number one. In his view, ending the war as soon as possible and minimizing the casualties of the marine.

Solo directly reminded Mihawk of his identity. The Fleet Admiral and Admirals of the Navy Headquarters can see his every move. If he shot at him, then his position as a Shichibukai would be forfeited. Is such a thing really worth it?

"If you insist on fighting against me, there's no need to be in a hurry," Solo said with a serious face.

Hopefully, Hawkeye understands what's at stake.

 "There's no need to worry about that."

Hawkeye replied without thinking. The reason why he can become Shichibukai is not to please the World Government. In fact, Hawkeye has always been a maverick in the Shichibukai team.

If he said that he did not want to participate, he would not participate. He never gave the World Government face at all. He does things according to his preferences. It is the same today. 

The moment he finished speaking, Hawkeye made a decisive move. With just one step, Hawkeye rushed in front of Solo, holding Yoru with one hand. He aimed at Solo's forehead and slashed it down fiercely. His momentum is heavy like a hurricane trying to crush Solo overwhelmingly. 

"This Hawkeye..." 

Solo frowned, forced to fight. Immediately, Solo drew out Shusui with one hand, parrying Hawkeye's slashing head-on. 

Bang! 

The two blades collided forcefully, shaking the surrounding air and instantly turning into a terrifying air current sweeping in all directions. The ice under the two of them cracked on the spot because it couldn't bear the force. 

The huge crack is like a spider web. Not only that, the collision between Solo and Hawkeye was not only extremely fast but also had an extremely wide range. Countless marines and pirates were affected. The slightly weaker marines and pirates even passed out on the spot. 

"This is power..." 

"Just the impact of the collision is this power?" 

"It's too scary."

Those who witnessed this battle all gasped and talked a lot. However, what shocked them was Solo's swordsmanship. Hawkeye bears the prestige of the world's number one swordsman. No matter how terrifying his slash was, it was reasonable. Otherwise, he is not worthy of sitting on the world's number-one throne.

But who is Solo? A freshman in the marines. He looks to be in his twenties. The uniform on his body also emphasizes his identity, just a Captain of the Marine Headquarters.

How can he compete with Hawkeye in swordsmanship? In the Marine Headquarters, there is no shortage of swordsmen who pursue the realm of swordsmanship. But Hawkeye looked down on all these swordsmen. Staring at Solo, he wanted to compete with him. People can't help but wonder, what is the origin of this Solo?

 "As expected, you are hiding your strength."

Hawkeye turned a blind eye to the reactions of the others. From the duel, Hawkeye can feel that Solo's swordsmanship is very powerful. His guess is correct.

"However, you still don't seem to be serious."

Hawkeye said in a low voice and glanced at the sword on Solo's waist. Solo has four swords in total. One of them looked unremarkable, but Solo has always been treating it well. He thought that Solo just didn't have the right weapon, but now he has three famous swords in his hand.

Shusui, Oto, and Kogarashi. But even so, Solo still carried the ordinary-looking sword with him. What Solo cared more about was the normal-looking sword.

"Although every swordsman is pursuing a famous sword. But that kind of swordsman is usually only on the first level. Any sword, as long as the method is correct, can be tempered into a Supreme.

Hawkeye is not only proficient in swordsmanship but he's very familiar with every famous sword. Famous swords are hard to come by but for a swordsman, famous swords are not the strongest.

Only a sword that has been tempered is the strongest. Based on this, Hawkeye determined that the sword in Solo's hand is the strongest. At the same time, this also means that Solo is now using the weakest sword in his hand to fight against him.

Solo is still hiding his true strength. He was simply underestimated by him. Thinking of this, Hawkeye's eyes became serious again.

"In that case, then I can only force you to take action."

The moment Hawkeye finished speaking, he raised his arms, and then with even stronger force, he slammed down Yoru and aim it at Solo's Shusuii, trying to smash it down.

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud bang, the ice surface under Solo's feet suddenly couldn't bear it, and it fell apart at a speed visible to the naked eye, bursting a big hole as seawater emerges from it and almost devoured Solo.

But Solo's speed was faster than Hawkeye imagined. He took a deep breath, retreated seven or eight meters in one step, and regained his footing on the ice. He has to say, the strength of Hawkeye, is indeed very strong.

He really deserves to be the man who bears the world's greatest swordsman on his back. At this time, on the execution platform, after being impacted by Luffy descending from the sky, Sengoku also tensed a lot.

But he soon noticed another situation. He was supposed to be on their side, joining forces with the Marines against the Whitebeard Pirates. Unexpectedly, Mihawk suddenly turned against them and blocked Solo.

Although he knew that pirates were unreliable guys, he still didn't expect that the man Hawkeye would join Whitebeard's camp!

"Hawkeye..."

Sengoku clenched his teeth, shocked.
