After the meal, it was quite rewarding. Ling Xiao had already started to call the other two brothers. What red-haired brother? What's with the scar on your eye? Or Hawkeye bro, why are your eyes so weird? There were all kinds of questions.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Ling Xiao stood up and stretched his body. Then, he put his sword back on his waist and looked at Hawkeye. "Brother Hawkeye, come and fight with me. It's not easy to find someone to compete with in sword arts.”
"Alright, I have the same intention." Hawkeye also stood up and picked up his black blade.
The two of them soon arrived at a place where no one was around. The red-haired man was also passing by.
"Brother Hawkeye, my saber is called Autumn Water.”Ling Xiao took out his saber but did not unsheathe it.
"Ling Xiao, this saber of mine is the strongest black saber in the world. Its name is Night. You have to be careful.”Hawkeye replied.
" Here we go, Flying Sword Style-Dragon Nest Flash!" Ling Xiao rushed towards Hawkeye. He pulled out his sword at a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye. Ling Xiao used his fastest speed to slash Hawkeye dozens of times.
" Good timing, Black Blade-Penetration!" Hawkeye pointed his black blade at Ling Xiao and stabbed at him. Ling Xiao was forced to withdraw his blade, but would he? Of course not.
When Ling Xiao saw Hawkeye's attack, he knew that he had seen through Dragon Nest Flash and could not hurt him. So he jumped up from the ground and did a somersault in the air, head down and feet up, stabbing the back of Hawkeye's neck.
Hawkeye also reacted. He took a step forward with his right foot and turned around. With his right foot as a support point, his left foot moved forward. The black blade was placed at his neck.
The two of them split up. It seemed like an instant, but in fact, the two of them had already fought two rounds. Although they were only testing each other, it also made the red-haired man who was watching not far away exclaim in excitement.
"What was the name of that move just now?" Hawkeye asked Ling Xiao.
" Flying Sword Style-Dragon Hammer Flash," Ling Xiao replied Hawkeye.
"What an exquisite sword move." As soon as Hawkeye said that, he heard a "magnetic" sound. A stream of blood suddenly spurted out of Hawkeye's right arm. A knife wound appeared on his right arm, and the blood flowed down Hawkeye's right arm and dripped onto the ground.
"To be able to change the direction of the blade in an instant, Ling Xiao, you're really strong.”Hawkeye said excitedly as he stared at Ling Xiao with his sharp eyes.
It turned out that when Ling Xiao saw Hawkeye react so quickly, he could no longer attack Hawkeye's neck, so he could only change the direction of his knife and attack Hawkeye's right shoulder. Hawkeye also noticed Ling Xiao's change and quickly tilted his body to the left. However, the speed at which he tilted his body was still not as fast as the Soaring Cloud Knife. Although his shoulder dodged, his right arm was injured. Even though Ling Xiao's blade had only grazed his right arm, he had still been injured. This made Hawkeye, who had not bled for a long time, very excited.
"Then, come down and let me attack. Black Blade-Broken Stream!”Hawkeye raised his black blade with both hands and increased the sword pressure. He concentrated the sword energy on the blade and slashed down hard. A black sword energy slashed towards Soaring Cloud.
" Dance of the Revolution-Half Moon Slash!" Ling Xiao immediately responded when he saw Hawkeye's action. He slashed out horizontally, and a silver half-moon shaped sword aura met the black sword aura.
With a boom, the dust on the ground was stirred up at the place where the two sword qi collided. The smoke slowly dissipated. A deep pit appeared.
Ling Xiao didn't give Hawkeye a chance to attack again. He drew his sword and charged at Hawkeye, slashing at him. Hawkeye saw Ling Xiao's blade coming at him and immediately dodged to the side to avoid it. With a backhand, he returned the blow. Ling Xiao saw Hawkeye's blade coming at him, so he crouched down to dodge it. He then raised his blade, and the tip of the blade went straight for Hawkeye's chin. Hawkeye tilted his head back and jumped away from Ling Xiao. Then, he gripped his saber tightly and attacked Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao also made a welcoming gesture.
Just like that, the two of them joined and parted, surrounded by saber shadows. He had already gone back and forth countless times.
When they separated again, Ling Xiao's ribs were bleeding, and there was an additional wound. Hawkeye's right thigh and left shoulder also had two additional wounds. Both of them looked at each other while panting.
"Come on, brother Hawkeye, let's fight it out in the next move.”Ling Xiao stood up straight and looked at Hawkeye.
"Alright, then let's decide the victor. Let's do it in the next move.”Hawkeye got into a battle stance.
Ling Xiao inserted Autumn Water back into her body and pulled out the snow before coming out. He stroked the sword with both hands and said to Xuecang,"I need you again." The body of the saber trembled and let out a soft cry, as if it was responding to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao held onto Xue Cang with both hands. He looked up at Hawkeye.
"Nameless God's Casually Killing Sword-Clam!”Ling Xiao grabbed onto Snowfang and slashed towards Hawkeye. Ling Xiao had used all his strength in this slash.
" Black Blade's Greatest Profundity-Demon Descent " used its eyes to use its greatest profundity to welcome the attack.
The red-haired man could only see the two of them exuding a fierce aura, and then they both made a move. Then, he saw Ling Xiao sheath his sword while Hawkeye stood there in a daze. The red-haired man thought that something had happened to Hawkeye, so he ran over to Ling Xiao and asked,""Hawkeye, what happened to him?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just saw a mirage. This is the effect of my sword technique.”Ling Xiao said to the red-haired man. Then, he used the fruit's ability to heal himself. The red-haired man was curious when he saw Ling Xiao using a strange power to heal his injuries. However, he did not ask anything and continued to look at Hawkeye.
Hawkeye watched as Soaring Cloud was split in half by his sword, then suddenly turned into cherry blossoms and scattered. Then, Soaring Cloud appeared one after another. He kept swinging his sword, but after being slashed by him, Soaring Cloud turned into cherry blossoms. Then, Soaring Cloud surrounded him and said,"Hawkeye, you've lost."
"Did I lose? He was defeated so easily? It turned out that the taste of defeat was so unpleasant.”Hawkeye seemed to have lost his will to fight.
Suddenly, another scene appeared in his mind. At that time, the young him was learning swordsmanship from his master.
"Phew, Master, I'm so tired. Can I rest for a while?”Little Hawkeye asked the old man.
"It's only been a short while, Mihawk, do you already have no strength left? This would not do. A first-class swordsman must have good physical strength. Otherwise, he would fall before he could defeat his enemy.”the old man said.
"Yes, Master, I understand. I will work harder!”Hawkeye said firmly.
"Mihawk, let me tell you one last thing. There is no strongest in this world, only stronger. Do you understand?”The old man looked at Hawkeye with a gratified expression.
"Yes, Master, I understand. I'll continue training!。”Hawkeye continued to practice.
The picture changed again. In another room, Hawkeye was crying and kneeling in front of the bed. There was an old man lying on the bed.
"Mihawk, you have to remember that if you want to become a real swordsman, you must first find your own heart. Only then can you find your own way of the sword. When you find your own way of the sword, you will truly become a swordsman. The biggest obstacle in cultivation was not surpassing someone. It was just that although surpassing someone could give him motivation for a short period of time and improve his swordsmanship, the real enemy in cultivation was not that person, but himself. Only by constantly surpassing himself could he become stronger.”The old man closed his eyes after saying that.
"Master, master, wake up. Mihawk can't live without master. Don't leave me, sob sob.。。”Little Hawkeye saw that the old man closed his eyes and ignored him. He laid on the old man's body and cried.
The scene changed again. On a hill, a 15 - 16 year old youth was kneeling in front of a grave.
"Master, I'm going out to sea. I'm going out to search for my own Sword Dao. I'll become even stronger. Master, I'm leaving.”The young man said to the grave, then turned around and left. This person was the Hawkeye of his youth. When Hawkeye turned to leave, he cried. He bid farewell to the place where he had lived for more than ten years and his master. He had embarked on the path of finding his own sword path alone, in order to surpass himself.
Hawkeye stood on the bamboo raft, looking at the island that was getting further and further away from him. He suddenly shouted at the island: "Master, I will definitely do it!”
At that moment, Red Hair and Ling Xiao were looking at Hawkeye when they suddenly heard Hawkeye shout,""Master, I will definitely do it!”Hawkeye's aura became even stronger.
Red Hair and Ling Xiao stared at Hawkeye with their mouths agape. "This, did he break through?" The red-haired man gulped and asked Ling Xiao.
"Ah, this, it seems so.”Ling Xiao also replied in a daze.
Hawkeye had already woken up from the illusion. He slowly retracted his aura and walked to Ling Xiao, bowing to him. Thank you, Ling Xiao." After saying that, he fainted.
Ling Xiao quickly caught him. Then, he turned to the red-haired man and smiled.""It seems that he has lost too much blood.”
"That should be the case. Then hurry up and treat him.”The red-haired man laughed.
After 2 hours, Hawkeye finally woke up. He looked at his body in surprise. There was no scar at all. Then, he turned to Ling Xiao and the red-haired man. Why am I not injured at all?”
"Ah, this, Ling Xiao helped you treat it.”The red-haired man replied Hawkeye while drinking.
Hawkeye turned his head to look at Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao smiled at Hawkeye and said,"I'm a light fruit aptitude user."”
"It's actually the Light Fruit, the legendary fruit at the top of the Demon Fruit Tree."”
Hawkeye didn't care about that and turned to talk to Ling Xiao about the sword. "Ling Xiao, that last sword of yours was really powerful.”
"Still not good? Didn't you still break through? You even broke through.”Ling Xiao said emotionally.
Then, the two of them began to talk about sword techniques. The red-haired man felt bored and pulled his crew to start a banquet. Hawkeye and Ling Xiao felt that it was too noisy, so they ran to the side to continue their discussion. Just like that, it was very late before everyone went to sleep.
After a night of sword techniques discussion, Ling Xiao and Hawkeye's friendship was now quite deep. The next day. "Ah, I have to go. It's time to go to White Beard's place. So, Hawkeye, Redhead, see you next time.”Ling Xiao said to Hawkeye and Redhead from the beach. After he finished speaking, he jumped onto the surface of the sea and floated towards the White Beard Pirates.
This was the first time Hawkeye and Redhead were shocked. They knew that Ling Xiao had eaten the Demon Fruit before, so he was probably a landlubber. After a moment of surprise, he looked again and saw Ling Xiao floating forward on the surface of the sea.
The two of them smiled at the same time and thought differently.
The red-haired man said,[Looks like the world might change because of you.]”
But Hawkeye was looking at Ling Xiao," If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely repay you for helping me break through my limits, Ling Xiao! No matter who your enemy is, absolutely!”At the thought of this, Hawkeye's eyes were fixed on Ling Xiao's back as he stood on the sea, his fists clenched tightly.
