One Piece: The Invincible Whitebeard

"Mihawk, to be honest, how did you feel when you were fighting with your father?"

Sitting next to Jozi and the others with Hawkeye, Marco asked Hawkeye.

He was really curious as to what Hawkeye's mood was when he was fighting Whitebeard.

Marco knew Whitebeard's terror best. However, after following Whitebeard for decades, Marco has seen Whitebeard take action countless times, and every time it feels like the world is being destroyed!

"Well, how should I put it?"

Hawkeye held a glass of wine that Marco pushed over in his hand and thought about it.

"It's terrifying. The captain's strength is the most terrifying among the people I have ever seen, and the same goes for his swordsmanship!"

"When the captain took action, I was very excited and had a feeling of blood boiling, because the captain's swordsmanship was equally terrifying!"

"As I fought, I felt a sense of despair, as if the captain was not using his full strength at all. I felt that I was not facing a person, but the entire sea, and an unfathomable feeling arose spontaneously."

Now that I think about it, Hawkeye has some palpitations. No one he has ever fought with, including the red-haired one, has ever made him feel like this. It's simply terrifying.

"Marco, to be honest, I used to think that the most important thing in swordsmanship is technique. Whether it is strength or speed, a balance should be achieved. Maintaining a wonderful feeling is the real swordsmanship!"

"But when I met the captain, I discovered that I was wrong. It turns out that reaching an extreme level of strength can also lead to the peak of swordsmanship!"

"Kizaru often says something - speed is power!"

"But the captain perfectly embodied what power means speed!"

"I should thank the captain for pointing out the direction for my swordsmanship and correcting my misconceptions in time. I will only be stronger than before!"

Hawkeye's tone was full of confidence. Now, after fighting Whitebeard, his understanding of kendo has reached a higher level!

In fact, is Whitebeard fast?

Fast, very fast!

After being strengthened by the body enhancement card, Whitebeard's speed has reached an incredible level, but his strength is superior to his speed, so that's why Hawkeye feels this way!

"It seems that you gained a lot from your battle with Dad!"

Marco sighed, indeed, fighting is the fastest way to improve your strength.

"You're not bad either. I thought you would lose in the battle with Kizaru, but I didn't expect that not only did you win, but you were also able to kill Kizaru!"

In the battle at the Navy Headquarters, Marco shocked everyone's attention and killed the general head-on. Not even the Yonko had such a record!

"If I have the chance, I would like to discuss it with you. I would like to see where the gap is with you!"

Bista looked at Hawkeye, and a fighting spirit burst out in his eyes. As a swordsman, his blood will boil when he encounters an opponent stronger than himself. Unfortunately, Whitebeard is his father and it is not easy to challenge him, so what did Bista say? I won't give up the opportunity to challenge Hawkeye!

"I'm honored, but I do have a suggestion!"

Hearing that it was Bista who was speaking, Hawkeye also became interested. Although Bista is not better than him in swordsmanship, he is also a very powerful swordsman and deserves his attention!

"oh? All ears!"

Bista really had some suggestions after hearing this, and he became interested and said hurriedly.

"Your swordsmanship foundation is very solid, but now you are too obsessed with the gorgeous moves, and you have lost the sharpness that your swordsmanship should have. Do you understand what I say?"

In fact, for a swordsman of Hawkeye's level, it is very simple to see Bista's problem!

After all, Bista is still far behind Hawkeye in swordsmanship.

From Hawkeye's point of view, Bista's The moves are gorgeous enough, but the lethality is lacking. It may be fine against ordinary opponents, but it will be a big problem when encountering strong ones of the same level!

"Are you saying that my swordsmanship is flashy?"

Bista frowned. He was not unhappy, but he felt that although his swordsmanship was not as lethal as Hawkeye, it was not very weak, right?

"That's not what I'm saying. Let me tell you my understanding of swordsmanship."

"In my eyes, swordsmanship should be the most direct, simplest and most efficient killing moves, just like the simplest chopping, slashing, picking, stabbing, etc., individually they are moves, and when combined they are moves."

"Instead of studying the angle of the sword and the appearance of the moves like you, do you understand?"

Eagle Eye expressed his understanding of swordsmanship.

Yes, in Hawkeye's heart, swordsmanship is so simple and pure, without a trace of magnificence. The faster the sword is drawn, the stronger the sword's power, and the sharper the sword's intention, the stronger the sword is. scholar!

"Direct and simple?"

"Chop, chop, pick, stab, I get it!"

After hearing what Hawkeye said, Bista's whole body was shaken and he closed his eyes.

After a long time, his closed eyes opened instantly, and a ray of light flashed in Bista's eyes.

"Thanks, Mihawk!"
