"That Dragon Blood Kokuo, in his hands, is actually much stronger than in Sakaki Taro's?!"
...
No matter how good a sword is, it's just a weapon, in different people's hands, the power that can be exerted is also vastly different.
At this time, everyone gazed at Vladimir's swordsmanship, and immediately felt that it was several points stronger than the great swordsman Sakaki Taro.
"What the hell! So strong and so shameless!"
"This person's strength, even if he had a fair sword fight, perhaps he could beat Sakaki Taro..."
"However, no matter how strong he is, compared to Hawkeye, he's still a little lacking!"
The truth was indeed so, Vladimir was not specialized in swordsmanship after all, he had only obtained the essence of Saber's swordsmanship, compared to Hawkeye, the strongest swordsman who bitterly trained swordsmanship, he was naturally slightly inferior.
Dodging Vladimir's attack, Hawkeye couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, looking at the street behind him, "The destructive power is very strong, it's just too rough."
"You still have margin to talk nonsense, you look very relaxed."
Vladimir made a sound, slashing down with a sword.
Hawkeye didn't panic, raising the black knife, immediately blocking the strike, the Dragon Blood Kokuo stirred sword energy, but before it could be slashed out, it was directly beaten back, failing to form a strong slash.
"Last time you crushed my slash with one claw, thinking about it afterwards, it's because I haven't trained enough, this time inviting all the swordsmen in the world to battle, is to take a further step. When the time comes, I will challenge you again, how about ending it here for now?"
Hawkeye's eyes were sharp, like a divine eagle, full of fighting spirit, but he restrained himself.
"This dragon grandpa is busy, I don't have the time to wait for you to become stronger!"
Vladimir curled his lips, his left hand suddenly pressing on the back of the knife, suddenly exerting force, "You think that way, I can't slash out a slash?"
In an instant, Hawkeye felt a pressure as heavy as a mountain coming from the sword blade.
This force was not slowly increasing, but suddenly erupting.
This led to the fact that he had no time to respond, and was repelled by one strike.
Not only that, this sword was forcibly slashed down, immediately stirring sword energy, the Dragon Blood Kokuo flashed and fell out a blood-colored slash, pushing Hawkeye, all of a sudden forcing him back more than ten steps.
"As expected, it's a monster-level of power..."
Hawkeye wasn't annoyed either, the black knife suddenly towards the sky, and instantly, the blood-colored slash was divided into two, being guided towards the sky.
Boom!
Suddenly scurry dozens of meters, this slash that was segmentation, exploded in the sky, issuing a burst of dull low groan.
Seeing this, Vladimir immediately frowned, inwardly muttering: "Using a sword, I really can't beat him, unless I transform into Saber."
Having brute force alone was not enough, to deal with a swordsmanship expert like Hawkeye, if pure brute force was useful, then the strongest swordsman would have changed long ago.
Thinking of this, Vladimir immediately stop, putting the Dragon Blood Kokuo back into its sheath, "You want to challenge me, you can. However, there's a condition."
"What condition?" Hawkeye asked.
"In our place, there are also experts who are proficient in swordsmanship, you win him first." Vladimir said the old god is here, "Win him, and I'll use my true form to welcome your challenge."
Hearing this, Hawkeye was silent for a moment, saying, "Okay."
"Oh? You don't ask who it is?"
"I can guess." Hawkeye laughed softly, saying, "Among the people you've exposed so far, there's one executive who uses a sword, if there are no accidents, it should be him."
In Dressrosa, Saber had appeared for a period of time, and also injured one of Big Mom Pirate's generals.
However, only taking action once, Hawkeye could guess, which made Vladimir a little surprised.
This was what he had thought wrong, Phantom was such a mysterious force, suddenly popping up, as long as there were people with a heart, they would collect intelligence, basically as long as they had appeared, they would be known, ordinary people not knowing was fine, Hawkeye as a Shichibukai, and also the strongest swordsman, naturally had his own intelligence gathering methods.
"Alright, then it's settled, if there's time, I'll notify him, let him come find you. You should be mentally prepared."
Vladimir smiled slightly, saying.
He wanted to take the title of strongest swordsman, of course not with the Sea Dragon's identity, Saber was the appropriate candidate.
The crowd heard the content of the two people's conversation, all were at a loss.
This riddle-like words, it would be strange if people who didn't know the situation could understand.
"This person knows Hawkeye?"
"Not only that, they've also fought, and Hawkeye suffered a loss!"
"How is this possible! That's the strongest swordsman, even if he's still young, his swordsmanship strength is real!"
The crowd looked at Vladimir's back, only his appearance was blocked by the cloak, no one could see through.
Of course, compared to this, everyone was more curious, who was this person?
At this time, Red Hair walked over, laughing, "You two shouldn't start fighting as soon as you meet, now there are more important things to deal with, right? Hawkeye."
Nodding towards Red Hair, Hawkeye said loudly, "I am Dracule Mihawk, welcome everyone to come here and spar with me in swordsmanship. Next, I will go to the center of the island, those who want to learn from me, please move."
After a pause, he also said, "Of course, let me remind you first, there are many fierce beasts there, not ordinary fierce beasts, please be careful! Also, regarding this matter, please notify all the people who come to the island!"
Everyone heard, immediately perked up.
Compared to small episodes like the two cloaked people, challenging Hawkeye was the main purpose, the title of World's Greatest Swordsman was very attractive.
Moreover, when the time came, it would definitely turn into a gauntlet battle, maybe if they were lucky, they could really beat Hawkeye?
Quite a few people were restless, and there were also a few people who fearfully glanced at the two mysterious cloaked people.
"I'll take my leave first."
Hawkeye nodded to Red Hair, taking the lead to set off.
Seeing this, Red Hair immediately looked at Vladimir, saying, "Let's go too."
Vladimir didn't answer, he was pondering whether to transform into Saber later, but, he had to get rid of Red Hair first.
"No, I won't go. I've been delayed for a few days, I have to go to Cake Island." Vladimir said in a low voice.
"...Then be careful. Don't die there."
Red Hair said in a deep voice, he didn't look favorably on Vladimir at all, unlike the naval fleet being sniped at sea, this time, it was going to a Four Emperor's lair.
