Chapter 78

Eagle Eye looked at the sword behind Li Xiao,

Battle intent surging in his eyes!

Although he did not recognize that green long sword,

Based on his observation,

That sword was absolutely not inferior to any supreme great blade,

Even surpassing them!

It seemed to possess life,

This was a true peerless excellent sword!

For a sword possessing such spiritual nature,

Not just anyone could control it!

As its master,

Li Xiao's sword path was absolutely not simple!

And this did not make Eagle Eye feel fear or caution,

Instead, he became even more excited,

As if the blood within his body was awakening and boiling!

If possible,

Eagle Eye actually hoped someone could surpass him on the sword path!

Because that would prove he still had room for improvement,

On the path of the sword,

He had not yet reached the end!

As for the title of the world's number one great swordsman,

Eagle Eye no longer cared about it at this moment!

He wished someone would defeat him,

Then tell him,

Even at the top of the hundred-foot pole, one can advance further!

To achieve a breakthrough on the sword path,

Was his greatest pursuit now!

Li Xiao rubbed his nose and said:

"The ground here is too fragile; let us not probe slowly. Let us decide the victory with a single sword strike, how about that?"

Hearing this,

Eagle Eye slowly nodded,

Speaking with a face filled with Solemnity:

"Good, come!"

Having said this,

Eagle Eye gripped the sword hilt with both hands,

Battle intent surging endlessly in his eyes,

With him as the center point,

A sharp sword intent rapidly spread out to all sides!

As if feeling provoked,

The Green Frost Sword hovering beside Li Xiao began to trem violently,

A sword intent even more sharp and exposed burst forth from the sword body!

The two sword intents collided,

The originally calm sea surface instantly churned endlessly,

For a time, water waves churned, and waves surged!

However,

This situation lasted for a full few minutes,

Yet both sides simply stood still in place,

Neither chose to strike!

On the sea restaurant,

Watching this scene before them,

Luffy scratched his head,

And asked Zoro beside him with a confused expression:

"Hey, Zoro, what are those two doing? Why aren't they fighting?"

At this moment,

Zoro's eyes were filled with Solemnity,

He stared fixedly at Li Xiao and Eagle Eye who had been facing off for several minutes,

Not daring to turn his head for even a second,

Afraid he might miss something!

"They are waiting, waiting for an opportunity to strike, waiting for the opponent's momentum to show a flaw, waiting for their own momentum to reach its peak!"

"To make Eagle Eye treat someone with such Solemnity, that person's sword path is likely no less than Eagle Eye's!"

"The mere collision of their sword intent alone causes the seawater to churn endlessly; their sword Dao strength is simply terrifying!"

As soon as Zoro's voice fell,

Hawk-Eyes struck!

Only to see his eyes instantly become extremely sharp,

as if a hawk had locked onto its prey!

Immediately after,

he exerted force fiercely beneath his feet,

and the wooden plank he used as a foothold instantly shattered into four pieces,

turning into countless tiny fragments that sank into the sea!

And he himself had already vanished from the spot,

instantly appearing several meters in front of Li Xiao,

the blade in his hand seeming ready to strike Li Xiao's body in the next second!

At the same time,

861064746 = Li Xiao did not move his feet,

he merely formed a Sword Mantra with his right hand,

and spiritual power within his body rapidly flowed into the Green Frost Sword,

which instantly transformed into a streak of flowing light to meet Hawk-Eyes charging with his blade!

In the next moment,

blade and sword clashed!

The world seemed to experience a brief silence!

But the next second,

the sound of metal striking metal rang out simultaneously with a huge boom,

and powerful sword qi attacked indiscriminately in all directions,

with the two of them as the center point,

instantly raising giant waves dozens of meters high around them!

Although there was a considerable distance between the Baratie and the location where the two were fighting,

under the influence of the giant waves at this moment,

the entire ship also began to shake constantly,

as if it were in danger of capsizing at any time!

After a short while,
