Chapter 451 Master Bai presses forward
"Isn't Bai Mian a good person?"
Mihawk frowned slightly and was about to ask something.
But he found that after Shanks said these words, he walked quickly down the ring. A group of strange people immediately surrounded him and walked out of the arena.
Through [Snow Walk], Mihawk judged that "White Face" might be the legendary pirate White Ghost who is famous all over the world, but he did not get positive recognition.
"Does Straw Hat know White Face's true identity? Judging from White Ghost's past actions, he may be called a bold pirate, but he is definitely not a bad person, right?"
After thinking about it, Mihawk put the cross sword behind his back and rushed towards the direction where Shanks and the red-haired pirates left.
……
The showdown between Shanks and Mihawk really shocked many people.
In the VIP seats in the stands.
"Gulu la la la! These two brats are really amazing!"
Whitebeard looked at the two figures leaving one after another on the ring, especially the conspicuous [straw hat], and suddenly burst out laughing.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a high-level swordsmanship duel!”
Foil Bista, who also watched with concentration for four days, couldn't help but nod in praise.
"Yes, Dad! That Hawkeye Mihawk... his swordsmanship is indeed very high!"
Hearing Bista's words, the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates burst into laughter.
"Haha, Bista, don't you always think 'my foil skills are unique'?"
"Do you think you can't compare to Hawkeye and Straw Hat?"
"I almost forgot, Bista can't even beat Weibull, hahaha!"
Bista's face suddenly turned red, his eyes widened, and he argued: "A duel between swordsmen... a duel... there is nothing that cannot be compared. I just recognize the strength of Hawkeye Mihawk!"
What followed were some more exciting words, such as "Weibull is just a little stronger", "I was not in a good condition at the time", and "I taught many of Weibull's sword skills", etc., which caused everyone to laugh again. When I got up, the VIP seats were filled with joyful air inside and outside.
Whitebeard glanced gently at the noisy Bista and other sons, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's go! Go back to the Moby Dick and have a party!"
Bista put aside the "brothers" who were teasing him and looked at Whitebeard.
"Dad, isn't there another semi-final later? The battle between the champions of Area C and Area D."
"Swordsmen like Straw Hat and Hawkeye are rare."
Whitebeard dropped these words and stood up from his seat.
In fact, if the [Straw Hat] on Shanks' head hadn't reminded him of the Roger Pirates, Whitebeard wouldn't have even come to watch this game in person.
Unexpectedly, I actually met two swordsmen who were barely capable enough.
What’s even more interesting is that the red-haired kid wearing a straw hat seems to have been a member of the Roger Pirates!
Foil Bista thought about his father's words for a while, and couldn't help but nodded in approval.
Even though he had gone to Area C before and observed the battle between Bai Mian and other swordsmen;
Weibull even had a head-to-head confrontation with the champion of District D, Togo Ryoma.
But even Bista doesn't think that either Hakumen or Togo Ryoma is as powerful as Hawkeye and Straw Hat!
Forget about Hakumen who can't see through the depth of his strength.
At the very least, that Togo Ryoma is definitely missing a step!
……
No one expected to witness such a high level of swordsman fighting in the semi-finals of the Sword Trial Tournament.
The shocking showdown between Shanks and Mihawk lasted for four full days, completely igniting the atmosphere on Toriyama Island.
Such is the quality of a semi-final.
The audience subconsciously hopes to see another battle of the same level.
The organizers, who had the same idea, were planning the second semi-finals intensively.
Just the day after the semi-final between Mihawk and Shanks ended, another semi-final also officially started.
But what is surprising is that.
The other semi-final was much less intense than the previous one.
In Hakumen's hands, the powerful Togo Ryoma had no power to resist.
Even if he tried his best, Togo Ryoma couldn't get half a point from Hakumen!
The spectators in the other areas were fine. The spectators in Area C seemed to have seen a replay of the qualifying match a few days ago.
In the first few rounds of qualifiers, even in the conference finals.
Any swordsman who meets Hakumen will be like Togo Ryoma at this moment, without much room for expression.
Arena, main ring.
"Hoo, ho..."
The tall and burly Togo Ryoma held a long sword in his right hand and looked at his opponent from a distance, his chest rising and falling violently.
The bamboo hat originally worn on the head fell off the stage as early as the third minute of the battle.
It was only more than half an hour before the final started.
But Togo Ryoma had a trance-like delusion that had lasted half a year.
Even if he used his best swordsmanship skills, he still couldn't threaten his opponent, and he couldn't even make the opponent take half a step back!
In a daze, Togo Ryoma seemed to be back to the time when he just learned the sword.
The apprentice who first came into contact with the long sword also felt so powerless when facing the teacher who taught him swordsmanship.
Adrian, who was wearing the [Virtual Face], held Yuki in his hand and stood there calmly, waiting for Togo Ryoma's next attack.
The great swordsman is different from the swordsman. They have walked out their own swordsmanship paths and understood their own unique swordsmanship.
The communication and battle with the great swordsman is relatively simple and easy.
At least Adrian didn't have to comment on the opponent's shortcomings in swordsmanship after the battle like he did when facing a swordsman.
Togo Ryoma took a deep breath and put the long sword into the sheath on his left waist. At the same time, he took a step back with his right foot, arched his back, and stared at Shiramen standing on the opposite side of the ring.
The right palm is holding the familiar handle of the knife, feeling every inch of it. The dark and rich armed color pours out from the forearm, rendering the blade hidden in the scabbard into pitch black.
"Itto-ryu·Iai..."
The toes of Tougo Ryoma's right foot slammed to the ground, and the majestic force crushed the surrounding brick floor directly, like a patterned cheetah rising quickly, spanning more than half the distance of the arena.
"Crescent Moon Slash!"
With an inaudible sound of sword being drawn, the long sword was pulled out of its scabbard.
Togo Ryoma waved his right arm, and the blade of the long sword covered with pitch-black armament drew a semi-circular arc in the middle of the air, like a dark crescent moon rising in the daytime, like a rapid electric light. Like a slash to the opponent's neck.
Adrian raised the snow without warning and walked away. He also covered the sword with armed domineering force and blocked it in front of him.
Togo Ryoma's Crescent Moon Slash struck Yukizai's sword, like the rising and falling tide hitting the cold rock. It only shattered a piece of cold sword light, but failed to shake the opponent in the slightest.
Adrian used his right arm slightly to force his opponent's sword away.
Snow's bright blade drew a brilliant blade in mid-air, and then stabbed forward, finally stopping firmly in front of Togo Ryoma's throat.
The cold tip of the sword immediately irritated the surrounding skin, causing a fine pimple to ooze out.
Togo Ryoma stared blankly at the white virtual face that was very close at hand, without saying a word.
"It's over."
Adrian's calm voice reached Togo Ryoma's ears, awakening the great swordsman from his daze.
Togo Ryoma took a step back, retreated from Xue Zou's attack range, then sheathed his sword and nodded respectfully towards Adrian.
"You've learned a lesson, Master White Face."
This sentence is also the most common one spoken by the opponents who were defeated by Adrian in the ring in the past few days.
The referee came to the stage and announced the final winner of this semi-final.
The audience in the field did not react.
The previous semi-final was played for four days and four nights, but this one lasted not even an hour.
But after being stunned, there were still warm cheers and congratulations from the audience.
This semi-final ended quickly, which is actually not something difficult to accept.
Think about it from another perspective.
It's hard to tell the winner between 'Hawkeye' and 'Straw Hat' because they are equally powerful.
The reason why the battle between 'White Face' and 'Dou Li' ended so quickly was because 'White Face''s strength far exceeded that of 'Dou Li'.
In this way, ‘Eagle Eye’ and ‘White Face’ are definitely opponents of the same level, aren’t they?
So if nothing else, you can also enjoy an absolutely fierce finals, which is considered a worthwhile trip!
Thinking of this, the audience cheered even more enthusiastically.
Adrian stood on the ring, his eyes slowly sweeping towards the stands below, and his eyes rested on a few familiar scents.
Somehow, in just one day, Shanks established a good relationship with Mihawk.
But at this moment, Shanks, standing next to Mihawk, seemed to have an ugly expression.
'Did he find me, or did Hawkeye take the initiative to tell me? Just say hello. ’
Adrian nodded slightly in that direction.
【白面】Looking from a distance.
Although it seems that he is just looking at this large area.
Shanks had a feeling that the other party was looking at him.
A lot of bad premonitions suddenly came to mind.
Suddenly, many memories flashed back in Shanks' mind, including but not limited to "the joy of escaping from the small sky island", "the difficulties of forming the red-haired pirates", "the accident when meeting Enel "Blah blah blah."
At the end of the memory picture, it stopped at devil fruits with bright colors and unique patterns.
‘Putting everything aside, it seems that I still owe Adrian a debt for a few Devil Fruits? ’
'No! flour! Not necessarily a white ghost! ’
'Although they are similar in stature, walking with snow in their hands, and strong as a monster...'
‘No! If you think about it this way, Bai Mian can only be Adrian! ’
Looking at the white mask on the ring that completely covered his face without revealing any trace of skin.
The corner of Shanks' mouth was inexplicably bitter, and the bitterness reached deep into his heart.
At this moment, Bai Mian suddenly nodded this way, slowly but firmly.
It seems to say "that's it"!
Thanks to "Fubin's" for the 100 starting coin reward.
