Chapter 75: Destroying The Sky, A Strike That Is Almost Like A "God"

"Come on, Carlos."

"Show me what you mean by the sword!"

"Then as you wish."

Carlos raised his hand towards the sky.

His movements were slow, allowing everyone present to see them clearly.

Green Bull curled his lips and sneered slightly.

"What? He was boasting so much. I thought this guy was supposed to be strong. Who can he hit with such a slow attack?"

The expression on Fujitora's face changed drastically, and his whole body began to tremble slightly.

Although he was blind, his powerful Observation Haki made his perception sharper than others.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the terrifying power emanating from Carlos.

This is a slash that could destroy the world!

The next moment, a bright white light erupted from the tip of Carlos's sword.

Terrifying energy fluctuations distorted the surrounding space.

Hawkeye's expression turned extremely serious.

This white light gave him an indescribable sense of impending doom.

It felt as if, in the next second, he would be cut to pieces by a thousand blades!

It was either an instinctive reaction of the body or a subconscious response honed by countless battles.

Without hesitation, Hawkeye gripped his black sword tightly with both hands, ready to strike.

However,

The bright white light shot straight up into the sky and transformed into a colossal sword ten thousand meters high!

Hawkeye looked up.

The first impression: simple, vast, and awe-inspiring.

Just as he focused on the giant sword, a sudden, searing pain struck his eagle-like eyes, and his vision turned bright red again.

The light was so intense it was almost unbearable!

Carlos had already launched his attack.

Yet, Hawkeye's body felt as if it were frozen, like a stone unable to move.

"What... What is this?!"

The scene before him shattered his comprehension.

Countless thoughts surged through his mind, but he still couldn't grasp them.

The giant sword was slightly tilted, its tip pointing directly at Hawkeye, and it began to press forward slowly.

The attack had not yet arrived,

But the fierce intent of the killing sword overwhelmed him, pouring down relentlessly.

The ground of the square seemed to be pressed by an invisible force, and countless cracks erupted instantly.

Boom!

The wind roared, smoke and dust billowed, and gravel flew everywhere.

Hawkeye was injured by the omnipresent sword energy.

It felt as though thousands of sharp knives were cutting into his body.

His skin began to crack inch by inch, and blood gushed out.

But he remained focused, staring at the giant sword that seemed to pierce through the heavens.

It was as if a lightning bolt struck his heart, and he suddenly understood.

Hawkeye let out a faint sigh and completely gave up resisting.

In terms of swordsmanship, the gap between them was as vast as the difference between clouds and mud. They were not in the same dimension!

The outcome of this duel was clear, and there was no need to continue.

"Carlos, is this what you call sword intent?"

"It seems that in the realm of swordsmanship, you have indeed surpassed me..."

How long had it been?

How long since he had experienced this sense of impending doom?

From learning swordsmanship in his youth to constantly challenging the strong after setting out to sea,

Through countless fierce battles until he reached the top.

Memories of the past surged through his mind.

A smile slowly appeared on the corner of Hawkeye's mouth.

He had thought his swordsmanship had reached its peak.

But he never expected to witness such mastery in his lifetime.

He was content to be defeated by this move.

Bang—

The black sword in his hand fell to the ground.

With a sense of relief and a hint of regret, Hawkeye slowly closed his eyes.

However, the giant sword did not descend upon Hawkeye but instead soared across the sky.

Boom boom boom—

Accompanied by thunderous roars, it felt as if the entire world was being torn apart.

A ten-thousand-meter crack suddenly appeared in the blue sky.

Within the rift was a dark, desolate starry sky.

The tens of thousands of people present stood with their mouths agape, as if they had forgotten how to breathe, staring at the sky with stunned eyes.

No words could describe the shock in their hearts at that moment.

It wasn't just the tens of thousands present who were affected.

Even hundreds of kilometers away, the residents on the island were aware of this strange phenomenon.

People looked up at the sky one after another, falling into a deathly silence.

It took an unknown amount of time before anyone finally reacted.

"The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye, was defeated like this?"

The Onigumo's eyes widened, his expression filled with disbelief.

Carlos's attack had completely shattered his understanding.

The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye, had been rendered as weak as a child, unable to resist or even draw his sword.

He could only close his eyes and wait for death!

"What a devastating blow. Is this Carlos's true strength?"

A flicker of panic flashed across Akainu's eyes.

This wasn't cowardice.

...It was the most primal and instinctive reaction to the threat of death.

Even he couldn't withstand such a terrifying attack. If hit, he would be severely injured, if not killed!

After the brief panic, irrepressible ecstasy took hold.

Akainu clenched his fists tightly.

Because of Carlos, the Marine had been divided into two factions.

It was indeed a positive development that the hawks and doves had parted ways.

But the Marine also lost Sengoku, Garp, Aokiji, and many other powerful combatants.

That was a cause for regret.

Yet, the scene before him completely overturned his previous thoughts.

He stared intently at Carlos's back, his eyes filled not just with wonder but also with indescribable admiration.

This man was powerful enough to subdue all the strongest men in the world!

Even Whitebeard was no exception!

Thinking of this,

Akainu's mind flashed back to Carlos's first arrival at Marineford.

In the marshal's office, in front of everyone, he had boldly declared his intention to destroy all pirates.

Maybe, this man could truly lead the Marine to new glory and achieve this unprecedented feat!

"It's as terrifying as a monster..."

Beside Akainu, Kizaru reached up to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, muttering to himself.

Behind his brown sunglasses, his expression was one of extreme horror.

If they hadn't known that Carlos's target was not them,

The moment the giant sword appeared,

He would have almost instinctively tried to escape by elementalizing!

From the high platform beside the square, Green Bull's trembling voice was heard.

"Hey, are you kidding me? What is this? Is this a slash?"

"Is this kind of attack really enough to destroy a country?"

"Is this truly a power that humans can possess?"

He looked up at the enormous crack in the sky, swallowing hard and speaking incoherently.

His initial contempt and dissatisfaction with Carlos had vanished without a trace.

The pride he felt from being promoted by the World Government due to his strength was also completely shattered.

"Incomprehensibly powerful."

Fujitora sighed from the side.

The moment Carlos launched his attack,

He too had felt the terrifying momentum that seemed to threaten the very fabric of the world.

At that moment, his perception and consciousness felt as though they were being torn apart!

Until now, he could barely come to terms with it.
