Akira Stone smiled and said, "Alright, I'll pretend I didn't hear that, but I want to have a fight. You won't have any more objections, right?"
Marco's face was full of gloom. He wanted to say more, but looking at Akira Stone's threatening eyes, he could only sigh and say, "Okay, but if you're in danger, I won't really ignore it."
Who knew that Akira Stone would shake his head, saying seriously, "This is a battle between swordsmen. If you interfere, it's disrespecting me, disrespecting our battle. I won't forgive you then."
It was the first time Marco had seen Akira Stone so serious, such a solemn expression. He was the most familiar with Akira Stone, so of course he understood Akira Stone's personality.
He had already said things to this extent, and if he said anything more, Akira Stone would definitely get angry.
So he could only nod helplessly, but he secretly decided in his heart that if Akira Stone was in danger, he would save him no matter what.
The reason Akira Stone didn't let Marco interfere was firstly because he indeed wanted to earn respect, and secondly, he was sure that Hawkeye would at most defeat him, but wouldn't kill him, because he saw recognition in Hawkeye's eyes.
The three of them went to the beach. Akira Stone and Hawkeye stood facing each other, a dozen meters apart, while Marco stood aside, looking anxiously at Akira Stone.
Although he didn't recognize Hawkeye, and Hawkeye hadn't revealed anything before, when Hawkeye decided to fight Akira Stone and stood opposite him, an invisible and astonishing aura emanated from his body.
Having followed the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco could be considered battle-hardened. Over the years, he had encountered too many opponents.
In his eyes, the swordsman in front of him named Dracule Mihawk was definitely extraordinary.
The sword hadn't even been drawn yet, but he already had such an aura. Once the fight started, it would definitely be a spectacular sight. This made him even more worried for Akira Stone.
Hawkeye moved. He drew the sword from his backhand and said seriously to Akira Stone, "Kokuto Yoru (Black Blade Yoru)!"
Because Akira Stone already knew the origin of the Yoru, Hawkeye didn't make too much of an introduction.
Akira Stone also took the entire Death Scythe from his back and inserted it into the ground, gripping the hilt and saying solemnly, "The sword is named 'Death Scythe'.
It's not any famous sword in the world, but it's the most bizarre sword in the world, because it has many kinds of changes. Although I've only mastered a few, you must be careful."
While Akira Stone was introducing the Death Scythe, Hawkeye listened very carefully, and also remembered Akira Stone's words in his heart. Since it was being explained so solemnly, it must be extraordinary.
Suddenly, a gleam flashed in Akira Stone's eyes, and he suddenly drew his sword. At the same time, the sword in his hand immediately turned into Senbonzakura.
Seeing Akira Stone draw his sword, Hawkeye no longer hesitated, but quickly rushed towards Akira Stone. Akira Stone also burst out with his fastest speed, rushing towards Hawkeye.
"Clang!"
The one of the strongest sword in the pirate world and the Zanpakutō from another world collided for the first time, making a deafening sound.
However, Marco, who was on the side, was frightened, because when Akira Stone and Hawkeye collided, Akira Stone was forced to retreat in a crushing manner.
If it weren't for Senbonzakura blocking the sword, he would probably have been cut in two.
But even so, the blood spilling from the corner of Akira Stone's mouth showed that he had been injured with just one strike.
However, Hawkeye didn't show any mercy, and slashed again. Akira Stone barely blocked with Senbonzakura, but the huge force sent him flying with the sword, causing him to somersault several times in the air before landing on the ground.
"Marco!"
After landing, Akira Stone suddenly shouted loudly. His eyes were always on Hawkeye, but he couldn't hide Marco's movements. He shouted when Marco had just moved two steps, "Don't come over."
Marco said anxiously, "Akira Stone, you're not his opponent. Let's not fight, okay?"
After one move, Marco naturally could see that Akira Stone was no match for Hawkeye at all. The gap between the two was too great. If they continued to fight, if Hawkeye didn't hold back, he would definitely kill Akira Stone.
Of course, Akira Stone also knew that he couldn't possibly be Hawkeye's opponent. The difference in strength between the two was too great. However, Akira Stone still shouted loudly, "Marco, don't let me lose without dignity!"
It was just this one sentence, but it made Marco stop. This was the second time Akira Stone had said such a thing. He was one of the people who knew Akira Stone best.
He knew that Akira Stone had a strong sense of self-esteem and valued his dignity very much. As a companion, Marco couldn't stop him at this time, even if he knew Akira Stone was in danger.
Hawkeye also heard Akira Stone's shout. A strange light flashed in his eyes. A swordsman should have a swordsman's dignity. Even though he could see that Akira Stone wasn't his opponent, he still didn't show any mercy, because he wanted to give his opponent enough respect.
Akira Stone took a deep breath. Hawkeye's strength was beyond his imagination. Fortunately, he had undergone hellish crazy training in the past two years, and his physique had been greatly improved. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even one of Hawkeye's slashes.
Akira Stone held Senbonzakura upright in front of him, and then said to Hawkeye, "You're very strong, much stronger than me. However, I won't give up so easily. Next, I'm going to get serious!"
Hawkeye didn't speak, but squinted at Akira Stone. Akira Stone had said just now that his sword had many forms, and now that he said this, he was obviously going to respond to what he had said just now. So Hawkeye was looking forward to Akira Stone being able to bring him a surprise.
"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"
Akira Stone said calmly. Then, Senbonzakura's blade suddenly slowly disappeared. In Hawkeye's eyes, Senbonzakura's blade disappeared, leaving only the hilt, but he saw countless petals surrounding Akira Stone.
"Hmm?"
This change surprised even Hawkeye. However, Akira Stone naturally wouldn't give him time to be surprised. The petals suddenly flew up, filling the sky, and then shot towards Hawkeye at an extremely fast speed.
Hawkeye saw the petals flying in the sky, and his ears twitched. He was shocked in his heart, "The sound is wrong. They're not real petals. They sound more like blades breaking through the air."
Hawkeye didn't dare to be careless. He suddenly swung the sword, and those petals that flew to him were immediately cut open. However, more petals invaded, continuously, forcing Hawkeye to continuously swing the sword.
"Slash!"
Suddenly, a gleam flashed in Hawkeye's eyes, and he suddenly swung his sword. In an instant, all the blades were scattered.
The petals in the sky returned to Akira Stone's side, and then condensed into a sword blade form, being grabbed by Akira Stone in his hand.
Hawkeye looked at the restored Senbonzakura, asking, "Is this the transformed form you spoke of?"
Although there was no contempt in his words, the feeling made people involuntarily think that way.
Senbonzakura's Shikai didn't pose any threat to Hawkeye, which was also within Akira Stone's expectations. He didn't speak, but held Senbonzakura backhand, the blade pointing downwards, and then released his hand.
"Bankai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"
Akira Stone directly activated Senbonzakura's Bankai. Countless huge greatswords appeared around him. Under Akira Stone's control, all the greatswords suddenly shattered, and more blades appeared, frantically attacking Hawkeye.
The number of fine blades was shockingly terrifying. Hawkeye was also interested, wielding the sword Night to resist the fine blades in the sky.
The blades of the Bankai were undoubtedly faster and more flexible than those of the Shikai. Hawkeye wanted to rely on his speed to pass through the fine blades in the sky and attack Akira Stone.
However, he found that the fine blades in the sky were faster than him, and could accurately block his path forward every time, making it impossible for him to break through the defense.
"Senkei - Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"
The fine blades in the sky suddenly turned into a spherical shape, and then surrounded Hawkeye, besieging him from all directions. Hawkeye was not only terrifying in attack, but his defense was also amazing.
He wielded the sword, and no matter how the blades attacked, they couldn't get close to his body at all. Moreover, although those blades were sharp, they still seemed a bit fragile in front of the Supreme Grade Meito.
Suddenly, the blades surrounding Hawkeye were all cut open by Hawkeye. Immediately afterwards, Hawkeye swung the sword, and a flying slash shot towards Akira Stone at high speed.
"Bang!"
Hawkeye's slash was very fast, but Akira Stone's blade was even faster. At the moment when the slash was about to approach Akira Stone, countless blades formed a layer of defense, blocking the slash.
However, although he blocked the slash, Hawkeye took the opportunity to rush to Akira Stone's face, slashing down.
