Chapter 115: Senbonzakura—

[Golden Lion Shiki: It's finally here, Jiehahaha, I've been waiting for a long time!]

[Issho: Can Hawkeye defeat Rifan using his Zangetsu? ]

[Flower Sword Vista: I think it's not possible. Even if Hawkeye's weapons are very good, don't forget that Rifan also has Zanpakutō.

[Charlotte Smoothie: The ranking rules of the Swordsman List include weapons, so even if weapons are added, the data of Hawkeye is lower than that of Rifan. I think it is difficult for Hawkeye to defeat His Excellency Rifan. ]

[Golden Lion Shiki: Although I feel the same way, I still hope that Hawkeye can hold on for a little longer so that I can take a good look at Rifan's fighting ability. ]

Afterwards, there was a battle for the title of[Juggernaut]. Although Golden Lion Shiki didn't think he could win the reward, he didn't want others to get it.

If they can see more about Rifan's ability, maybe they can stop Rifan who is most likely to receive this reward.

Amidst the discussion, Rifan and Mihawk were already at the two ends of the duel arena.

"We meet again, Rifan, this time I am here to challenge you again."

Mihawk's sharp eagle eyes stared closely at Rifan in front of him.

Now, he has regarded Rifan as his life's biggest opponent.

And Nami is the second opponent.

"You didn't bring your black sword this time, Mihawk." Rifan looked at Zangetsu, who was held tightly by Mihawk. "So, do you think you can defeat me by relying on Zangetsu's power?"

"It's difficult." Mihawk shook his head. 

"However, there is such a rare opportunity to fight you, so I will not let go of this opportunity."

"Draw your sword, Rifan, let me see the power of your Zanpakutō."

Last time, Rifan did not use Zanpakutō but defeated him by relying on [Sword Domain]. 

This time, Mihawk wants to at least be able to force Rifan to use Zanpakutō's power.

"Zanpakutō, although I don't think this is necessary."

"But since you are so persistent, it's okay to let you see."

While speaking, an extremely slender blade slowly floated out of the Babylon treasury and floated in front of Rifan.

Seeing this scene, Mihawk's always serious face showed a rare smile.

He raised his Zangetsu and pointed directly at Rifan.

"Bankai—Tensa Zangetsu!"

With a loud explosion, the blade in Mihawk's hand turned into an extremely slender Tensa Zangetsu.

"Well, Mihawk, how long can you use the blade in this state?

"Ten minutes, or just a few minutes?

Rifan shook his head, with the tip of Senbonzakura's blade in his hand pointing down.

"Bankai— Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"

As Rifan's sword hilt sank into the ground, apart from Rifan and Mihawk, a separate blade quickly emerged, and eventually formed a cylindrical sword field, enclosing the two of them.

"This is?" Mihawk frowned, looking at the scene in front of him with some confusion.

"Senbonzakura Kageyoshi is just the basic form of Senbonzakura's Bankai." Rifan raised his hand, surrounded the surrounding sword field, and automatically flew out a sword and fell into Rifan's hand.

"This is the ability that Senbonzakura has achieved after further development.

"There is no introduction to the golden list, but it doesn't mean that it didn't exist."

"Come, Dracule Mihawk."

"This time, I will spend a little more time dealing with you.

"It's just that within this domain, your strength will drop sharply. If you don't hurry, you may not even be able to maintain the form of Tensa Zangetsu."

Hearing Rifan's words, Mihawk's eyes condensed, and only then did he feel that his power was indeed fading.

Originally, he thought this was a normal loss for using Tensa Zangetsu. But after Rifan said that, Mihawk realized that it was different from when he trained using Tensa Zangetsu.

"In this case, I won't hold back!"

After speaking, Mihawk slammed to the ground and rushed towards Rifan extremely fast.

[Golden Lion Shiki: Damn, it's really an excellent weapon. When I see such a scene, I feel that my swords are rubbish. ]

[Whitebeard Newgate: It's not surprising that there are such thoughts. Compared with the Zanpakutō held by Rifan and Mihawk, our weapons are really not that good. ]

[Issho: Sire Rifan developed a new form of Senbonzakura, but I don't know if Hawkeye can also do it. ]

[Flower Sword Bista: It's very difficult. Looking at the situation of Hawkeye, it is very difficult to use Tensa Zangetsu for a long time, let alone develop a new form. But Hawkeye of this state is indeed very strong. ]

[Charlotte Smoothie: Although Hawkeye is strong, Rifan is stronger. Those Mihawk attacks seem to be predicted by Sire Rifan and blocked. Even the sword energy attack launched by Mihawk fell on that sword field and was wiped out. I really don't know how to leave after being locked into this field by Sire Rifan. ]

[Dark King Rayleigh: In that place, even Logia Devil users may find it difficult to leave. In other words, once a fast person like Kizaru is locked in, all he can do is wait to be slaughtered by Rifan. ]

[Admiral Kizaru: Yo, isn't this Dark King Rayleigh? It's a shame that you haven't died yet. ]

[Dark King Rayleigh: I am younger than you now, Kizaru. Even if you die, I will not be dead by that time. Maybe I can attend your funeral by then hahahahaha.]

[Red-haired Shanks: Hey, why did Hawkeye's sword change back? It's not even two minutes yet, it's over so soon?] 

[Charlotte Smoothie: Sire Rifan said that inside his sword field, Mihawk strength will be consumed more quickly, and it is normal for his sword to revert to its original form in advance. But in this way, there is no need to continue the battle between Hawkeye and Rifan. ]

"How about it, do you want to fight?" Rifan scattered the sword in his hand into a pink petal and looked at Mihawk who was standing with the support of his sword to prevent himself from falling.

"Oh, no, I surrendered." Mihawk smiled bitterly, "You are really good, Rifan. Even if you don't use your strong swordsmanship, basic sword skills are already good enough."

"I thought that with Tensa Zangetsu, I would be able to fight you. Now it seems that in front of you, maybe I am also a frog at the bottom of the well."

"Rifan, in a month, you will compete for the title of Juggernaut, right?"

Hearing this, Rifan shrugged and smiled:

"Since I have encountered it, I have to try it."-R

"Then let's meet again in one month's time."-M
