Chapter 12: 【Rule Of The Sword!】

Mihawk's words shocked every swordsman in the world.

Because if Mihawk's words are true, it is very likely that the world's strongest swordsman is not Mihawk, but someone else.

Even if the [Swordplay List] competes with the potential of swordsmanship, not the strength of the swordsman himself.

But with even more exquisite swordplay than Mihawk, how could he be a weak one!

Even if the owner is weaker than Mihawk now, it is very likely that he will surpass Mihawk in the future!

What is even more shocking to the World's Swordsmen is that the [Swordplay List] is still only announced in sixth place.

That is to say, there are still five types of swordplay on it, and perhaps, there will be many people who will surpass Mihawk in swordplay!

To be precise, people would prefer to have more than one person over Mihawk.

Because, if a person has five sword moves that surpass mihawk's swordplay, what a terrifying, potential swordsman he is!

"Is there really such a strong swordsman, more stronger than Mihawk, who I want to challenge?!" Zoro opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Interesting." the corners of Mihawk's mouth cocked, looking at Nami not far away, and whispered in his mouth, "will it be the swordplay teacher of this girl..."

Although Rifan's name had already been on the list with Nami, Mihawk suddenly felt that perhaps the remaining five spots would appear in Rifan's name again.

——[Swordplay List] no. 5, [Thunder Breath• Seventh Form: Flaming Thunder God], User; Rifan, Nami.

——combined with the original skills of other sword types, it attacked forward at a very fast speed, and its trajectory was like a thunder dragon flying, and it was powerful enough to shatter the earth with one blow.

In the gold list, Rifan's figure appeared for the first time.

Rifan held the hilt of his sword in his hand and slammed it into the ground, and his figure instantly appeared at an altitude of hundreds of meters.

"Breath Of Thunder • Seventh Form, Flaming Thunder God!"

with a loud sigh, Rifan's figure directly transformed into a golden thunder dragon and fell downwards. However, in a second, Rifan's body had already crossed a distance of hundreds of meters, as if a real lightning bolt had landed on the ground.

rumble --

The earth cracked, the air rolled upside down, and everything around it was shrouded in golden light.

When the light and shadow dissipated, what appeared in front of everyone was an island that seemed to have been destroyed by an earthquake.

[Dark King Rayleigh: Great swordplay! And this man's strength is definitely not weak!] 

[Red-haired Shanks: There is such a great swordsman in this world, I can't help but want to meet him. What about you, Hawkeye? ]

[Hawkeye Mihawk: Oh, of course, I... I was so excited that I was about to leave looking for him. But I don't know where he is... ]

Ordinary people only saw the destructive power of Rifan's swordplay, but to the extent of Mihawk and others, they knew that the power that had collapsed to the earth was not the most terrifying place for this move.

That absolute speed, like an unstoppable sword blade, was the most terrifying thing about Rifan's move.

Mihawk believed that even the long-established great swordmaster could be directly severed in the face of this move.

"Hey, Nami, is that person your swordplay teacher?" Zoro looked at Nami and asked. "Besides, how could you even do such a sword skill!?"

Although there was no sign of Nami's demonstration on the gold list this time, Zoro could see clearly that there was Nami's name on the      [Swordplay List].

"Hmm, that's right, it's him!  My swordsmanship teacher is great." Nami straightened her chest and looked proud. "Although I can do this trick, it is far worse than the teacher."

At this time, Nami couldn't help but think of what Rifan had said to her.

"Nami, although you learned this trick with the help of the resources I gave you, don't use it until you have to."

"Your current physical ability is still too weak, if you force it, your body's life ability will be exhausted and you will die."

"To solve the Arlong pirate group, you can use the First Form and it's enough."

Although Rifan's tone was flat, Nami could still feel the concern in Rifan's words.

In addition, although Rifan did not follow her to deal with the affairs of Cocoyashi village, it did not mean that Nami could not pull Rifan's tiger skin.

'Sorry, teacher, in order to avoid Hawkeye, this guy from finding me, first use your name to block him.' Nami thought to herself.

Nami remembered the look of interest on Mihawk's expression when he saw her swordplay demonstration just now.

In order to avoid Mihawk finding herself in trouble, Nami felt that taking Rifan's name as a block could divert Mihawk's attention.

However, just as she looked at Mihawk again, she found that he was already standing in front of her.

"Waa! What are you going to do, Mihawk?! Nami stepped back and looked at Mihawk warily.

"Little girl, your teacher, where is he?" Mihawk didn't say much and ran straight to the subject.

The blood that had cooled down was boiling again, and Mihawk now only wanted to find a higher ranking figure than himself on the [Swordplay List]to fight, and Rifan, who ranked fifth, was naturally one of them. 

As for Nami, although she was also on the list, Mihawk did not feel that Nami could fight with himself now.

Nami's body does not have the temperament of a top swordsman.

'Even if that trick can be used by her, the loss will be very large.' Mihawk thought this keenly.

"that... that..." Nami tilted her head to the side, a little hesitant in her heart.

Pulling Rifan's banner, Nami can do it, but really wanting to reveal Rifan's position, Nami hesitated.

In Nami's view, Rifan stays alone on an uninhabited island, and should not like to be randomly disturbed by others, just saying Rifan's specific location, Nami is worried that it will provoke Rifan's displeasure.

Nami is not worried that Rifan will lose, although the time together is not long, Nami has fully realized Rifan's strength.

Just thinking that if there will be many swordsmen in the future to challenge Rifan and disturb his life, Nami will be a little unable to say where Rifan is.

Seeing Nami's expression, Mihawk didn't know what Nami was thinking but still said.

"Forget it, even if you don't say it, I'll find him."

"Although the sea is big, a swordsman like him can't hide forever, and maybe it won't be long before I see him."

Mihawk's tone was full of determination.

At this time, the gold list changed again.

——[Swordplay List], 4th place, [Rule Of The Sword], user, Rifan.
