Chapter 446

Yeruashi still remained calm and smiled gently as he looked at the dense network of intertwining slashes.

He calmly swung his blade again.

Phew!!!

It was clearly just a single sword, but with its movement, a dense network of blue slashes formed in the air!

At the moment when Yeruashi and Shiki's attacks collided, a terrifying roar broke out in the sky and a bright golden-blue glow flashed.

Zoro and Quina covered their ears, unable to tolerate even the sound generated by this collision.

Not to mention them, even Shimotsuki Kozaburo, who came here from the Country of Vano, had never faced a battle of this level.

Kozaburo watched in shock as Yeruashi and Shiki fought in the sky.

The blue slash net completely destroyed the golden one, and its remnants flew in the direction of the Golden Lion.

Phew!!

The figure of the Golden Lion flashed through the sky with great speed, avoiding a collision with the remnants of Yeruashi's attack.

In the course of this brief encounter with Yeruashi, the Golden Lion came to the conclusion that it would be extremely difficult to win at the expense of sword skill alone.

He must take advantage of the devil fruit's ability to defeat the enemy at the expense of speed and maneuverability!

Phew! Phew! Phew!!!

The Golden Lion began to fly rapidly in the air, using its devil fruit ability.

Shiki's speed was so fast that normal people couldn't even catch his shadow.

Zoro and Quina saw only a golden flash that constantly flashed around Yeruashi, leaving huge slashes behind it.

Yeruashi still remained calm, continuing to float smoothly in the air.

He grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand and swung it sharply from left to right, sweeping away all the slashes of the Golden Lion in one fell swoop.

Hum!!

The Golden Lion coldly looked at Yeruashi, once again sharply swinging his leg, and at the same time used his devil fruit ability, causing the land on the shore of the island to run amok.

Numerous fragments of ice mixed with sand poured into the sky like a tsunami, trying to envelop and engulf the floating Yeruashi.

Yeruashi smoothly swung the blade, creating a huge slash that cut into two parts a huge mass of sand mixed with ice.

After the destruction of the Golden Lion's attack, the slash continued to fly down, creating a deep rift that stretched for several kilometers across the island, as well as a huge depression in the sea that stretched to the end of the field of view!

This huge depression was not immediately filled with seawater, as the sea had previously been frozen by Aokiji.

The pirates who were on the decks of ships in the sky have long lost touch with reality.

Their wide-open eyes were empty.

From their point of view, this picture was even more shocking.

Yeruashi cut through part of the island and the sea to the end of the field of view with a simple swing of the blade!

Quina and Zoro stared listlessly and distantly at the deep abyss that stretched to the end of their field of vision. By this time, their clothes were already completely soaked in cold sweat.

"Isn't..."

"...can a person have such power?"

Boom!!!

But without waiting for them to recover from the shock, another huge slash fell from the sky, creating a deep abyss.

Two huge abysses, which crossed cross by cross, spread to the end of the field of view.

Quina removed her hand from the hilt of the Wado Ichimonji, realizing that her swordsmanship had no meaning at all in the face of such power.

It is incredibly far from colliding with opponents of this level.

At least for now...

"Zoro, who do you think will win?"

Quina took a deep breath, continuing to watch the battle in the sky.

Zoro returned the blades to their scabbards and looked at the sky, and then said tensely, suppressing a tremor all over his body with difficulty: "The young guy will win."

"What makes you think..."

Quina gave Zoro a strange look.

At this moment, the Golden Lion had a clear advantage in the battle, due to the speed and maneuverability obtained through the perfect use of the devil Fruit ability.

Shiki moves quickly and unpredictably in the sky, while constantly attacking Yeruashi.

While Yeruashi is only defending against a barrage of Shiki's attacks, without being able to launch a counterattack.

Zoro whispered, " I don't know...intuition."

Although it now seemed that the Golden Lion was dominating the battle, but for some reason Zoro felt that it was Yeruashi who would win.

Quina anxiously watched the battle in the sky: "Even a random coin toss is more reliable than your intuition..."

Although she couldn't recognize the identity of Yeruashi, but he was clearly not hostile to them and did not give the impression of an evil person, and the Golden Lion loudly declared that he was going to destroy their island.

So all of them are guaranteed to have a tragic end, if the Golden Lion wins.

Therefore, of course, Quina hoped for Yeruashi's victory.

In fact, her intuition also told her that it was Yeruashi who would win, but the same answer of Zoro, also based on intuition, caused her hesitation, because when searching for the right path, Zoro's intuition can be used for the elimination method...

"Is there something wrong with my intuition?!"

The corners of Zoro's mouth twitched nervously.

But in this situation, he was in no mood to get into an argument with Quina.

Zoro, as a novice swordsman who has not even formed his own style yet, was at first deeply shocked to witness the battle of two great sword masters, but then he gradually began to recover and completely immersed himself in watching this incredible battle.

Even Koshiro and Kozaburo were completely absorbed in watching the battle of Yeruashi and Shiki, having stopped paying attention to everything else.

After a while, when Yeruashi calmly blocked another barrage of Shiki's slashes, the smile gradually faded from his face, and his look became bored: "...and that's it? Is there really nothing stronger?"

"Hmm...still so arrogant..."

Shiki snorted coldly and said indifferently: "Before you say something like that, first think about how to save your life, you arrogant kid!"

Usually, swordmasters refuse to defend, completely concentrating on attacking, because for them, attacking is the best defense!

There is no need for defense if the blade can cut through everything!!

Therefore, in a duel of swordsmen, the winner and the loser can be decided in one move.

A swordsman will not necessarily be defeated, even if he has a certain gap in strength with his opponent.

After all, their blades have the ability to kill each other in an instant, despite the difference in strength.

The key to winning the battle of the swordsmen is to make the right decision at the right time.

But Yeruashi is overwhelmed by his speed and maneuverability to the point that he simply cannot counterattack effectively.

Therefore, Yeruashi's slight superiority in the power of the blade does not matter at all, because this blade does not threaten him in any way!

If one of the sides is completely suppressed in the battle of the swordsmen, without having any opportunity to counterattack, then the outcome of the battle can already be considered decided!

"Forget it..."

"It's time to finish...I've already seen all of your sword prowess."

Yeruashi shook his head.

The pale gold illusory clock in the depths of Yeruashi's eyes emitted a golden glow, accompanied by which, the single hand of the clock moved from the number IV to the number I.
