Bista's tone was firm when he said this. It was precisely because he was also a swordsman that he could understand the difference between him and Hawkeye. He was not on the same level.
"That's already amazing. Hawkeye fought with the red-haired guy, even my father praised him.”
Even though Bista had said that, they still felt that Katie was strong enough. Even Bista himself felt the same way. After all, even he might not be able to do better than him.
It wasn't just the captain of the Bai regiment who thought this way. Almost everyone who saw this scene thought the same.
They had to admit that they had underestimated this young man who had suddenly appeared.
"Ehahahaha, another restless fellow. Interesting, really interesting.”
Through his sunglasses, Doflemingo stared at Katie's figure. No one knew what he was thinking.
His body moved with the blade, and the blade moved with his hand. At this moment, Katie was in an unprecedented state of concentration. The only thing left in the world was the Sky Piercer in his hand and the enemy in front of him. Unknowingly, he had entered the wonderful state of being one with the blade.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Katie with a different expression. The changes that had happened to Katie naturally could not escape the eyes of Eagle Eye. He knew what this state meant to a swordsman. He could not help but withdraw his strength.
Being one with the sword was a state of mind that all swordsmen yearned for. In this state, the person's mind was not as simple as being highly focused. Their thoughts were more flexible, and their perception and understanding of their own body reached an unprecedented level.
Under the state of being one with the saber, a swordsman could completely master all his abilities. Things that were previously incomprehensible or difficult to break through would become extremely simple at this moment, like a layer of window paper that could be broken with a single poke.
Of course, such a state was extremely difficult to encounter, and it could even be said that it depended entirely on luck. If one was unlucky, they might not even encounter it once in their lifetime. Even he had only encountered it three times, and each time, it would bring him a huge improvement.
Hawkeye looked at Katie with admiration.
In the beginning, he had challenged Katie out of curiosity. He wanted to see what kind of strength this young man who had messed up the navy's arrangements had.
As soon as Hawkeye attacked, he was shocked. Although he didn't show it on his face, his heart was not calm. This young man actually had his own sword intent! Hawkeye could clearly feel the tearing effect of the attack. He couldn't imagine how Katie, who was still in the Sword Hero Realm, could comprehend the sword intent, because even many Great Sword Heroes had yet to comprehend their own sword intent.
Sword intent could not be learned through hard work alone. Hard work, talent, and opportunity were indispensable.
It was an external display of a person's willpower. It could even be said that there was no way to learn it at all because everyone's willpower was different. It could only be understood and not conveyed in words. Even the kid he thought highly of was still far from comprehending sword intent.
Hawkeye realized that he had been too surprised.
After seeing Katie's special abilities, Hawkeye was itching to use his skills. He couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands and hit him twice in a row.
Just when he thought that he had reached his limit, his swordsmanship increased crazily in an instant, breaking through the barrier in front of countless swordsmen and entering the realm of a Great Sword Hero.
However, this wasn't the end. When they fought again, Hawkeye was shocked to find that besides the Ripping Sword, Katie actually had a second sword intent, Spatial Ripple!
The first time he sensed it, Hawkeye felt that it was impossible. It was extremely difficult to have one sword intent, and it was even more difficult to have two at the same time. Moreover, it was related to space. Sword intent also had strong and weak ones, and anything related to space would not be too weak.
However, the collision later allowed Hawkeye to confirm his perception. It indeed contained the power of space.
At that moment, Hawkeye was a little envious of Katie. She could actually grow to this level before she was twenty years old. When he was his age, he had just become a Great Sword Hero. There was still a long way to go before he could reach the sword intent. Compared to Katie, Hawkeye really had no advantage.
However, Hawkeye also found that while the powerful sword intent gave Katie great strength, there was also a problem that was difficult to solve. He couldn't make good use of these two powers.
It was also at this moment that he entered the state of becoming one with the blade. Although there was no basis for it, Hawkeye had a premonition that when Katie left this state, it would solve this problem and better control these two powers. Although it was just a premonition, his perception had always been accurate.
If Hawkeye wanted to, he could have interrupted Katie's state, but he didn't.
It wasn't the so-called dignity of the strong, nor was it respect for the enemy. It was just pure ignorance. Ever since the red-haired severed arm came, he hadn't met a decent opponent.
Hawkeye, who was standing at the highest point, had been lonely for far too long. He longed for someone to make him fight with all his might.
Solon, whom he met in the Eastern Sea, had a slim chance of winning, but Hawkeye wasn't sure if he could really grow to be his opponent. Compared to Katie, Hawkeye had a greater chance. Therefore, not only did Hawkeye not interrupt Katie's enlightenment, but he also became a sparring partner to feed Katie.
This was because he had absolute confidence in his own strength. This was the pride of being the number one in the world. Although Katie's talent was terrifying, Hawkeye believed that even if Katie grew to the same level as him in the future, he would still be able to win.
......
With a loud boom, White Beard and Red Hound once again unleashed powerful attacks, and powerful fluctuations swept across the entire battlefield.
His gaze changed, and his body once again sensed the external environment. At the same time, his consciousness also left that wonderful state. He secretly sighed, but there was no other way. He could no longer return to that state.
Fortunately, at least the problem was solved. Although it was only a short ten minutes, his strength had increased a lot. Although he did not obtain any new skills, he had a better grasp of his existing abilities. At the same time, he had finally mastered the spatial ability brought by the Space-Breaking First Solution.
"Thank you for your help." Although her perception of the outside world was extremely low, she knew what Hawkeye was doing. As an opponent, not only did he not interrupt her, but he also became her sparring partner. This kind of magnanimity made Katie admire him.
"There's no need. Since you're awake, let me see how far you've grown.”
"As you wish." Katy didn't reject Hawkeye's invitation. She wanted to see how strong her swordsmanship was.
