47 Chapter 47
The next moment, the relentless exchange of attacks between Carnes and Mihawk suddenly ceased.
But in an instant Mihawk launched a new round of even faster and stronger slashes towards Carnes!
"Boom!"
Under the mighty swing of Mihawk's blade, the world seemed to hush, and the only sound that filled the air was the sharp hum of the sword.
The sight of the terrifying emerald sword aura was all that met the eye.
"Now we're talking!"
A smile graced Carnes' face as Mihawk's display of strength ignited his fighting spirit.
He raised his own sword, "Eclipse," to meet Mihawk's slash.
"Clang!"
"Thud!"
Eclipse swung through the air.
Although it didn't make direct contact with Mihawk's black blade, Yoru, it unleashed a tremendous thunderous roar.
"Boom!"
The two swords stopped just inches apart, their immense power colliding fiercely, causing dark red arcs to flicker around them.
The impact burst out suddenly, ripping apart the solid wooden floor beneath their feet and creating a terrifying wave on the calm sea surface, reaching tens of meters high!
"Splash!"
Even the pristine white clouds in the sky dispersed due to the sheer force of their confrontation and impact of their clash.
An overwhelming pressure engulfed the surrounding sea area as visible ripples of energy spread in all directions.
Wherever the energy wave went, the wooden floor shattered, and some areas were even instantly pulverized!!
"Thud!"
Seeing Carnes once again block his full-force attack, Mihawk's eyes flashed, and he exerted more force in his wrist!
"Bang!"
The two swords collided fiercely and were momentarily separated.
Although Carnes' sword was slightly pushed back, Mihawk's black blade also moved back under the impact.
Their swords were lifted, and they were completely in control of the situation.
"Truly worthy of the title of the world's strongest swordsman!"
Carnes couldn't help but admire Mihawk's prowess as he forced him back with his own sword.
At that instant, during the interval when Mihawk's sword was slightly lifted, he took a sudden step forward.
"Bang!"
This time, unlike the previous strikes that contained terrifying power in each slash, Mihawk chose to freely wield his black blade, Yoru, showcasing his exquisite swordsmanship!
"Swish, swish, swish!"
More than ten slashes came at once towards Carnes, yet he showed no signs of weakness.
The long-awaited intense battle ignited his fighting spirit, and he shouted, "Come!"
"Bang!"
Carnes took a step forward, swinging his "Eclipse" vigorously!
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Countless crisp sword clashes echoed as they exchanged swift strikes, causing dazzling sparks to burst around them, the evidence of their blade clash.
But the colliding blades themselves couldn't be seen!
"Clang!!!"
Facing each other's attacks, neither of them took a step back throughout the entire exchange.
Their legs were firmly planted on the wooden floor, and only their arms wielding the long swords moved rapidly!
"Swish!!!"
"Bang!"
The exposed sword aura from their clashes caused many stray sword energy waves to fly out, shattering the vast wooden floor into pieces!
"Boom!!!"
On the ship,
The fierce battle between Carnes and Mihawk appeared like two fierce beasts fighting.
Although the crew members of the Bonney Pirates were not on the battlefield!
Even from a distance, the Bonney Pirates trembled as they felt the terrifying aura emanating from the duel.
"This... Is this the strength of the world's strongest swordsman?!"
"They're so fast! I can barely see their movements!"
"Unbelievable! Are they even human?!"
"Their attacks are chilling even from this distance!"
"This level of confrontation is beyond our reach, our strength pales in comparison. We're not even in the same league!"
The members of the Bonney Pirates were speechless, and their voices trembled.
Their eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly, and unprecedented horror appeared on their faces!
Likewise, it was not only the Bonney Pirates.
The same went for the members of the Vibbs Pirates. They were trembling, and at this moment, they couldn't even speak.
Even Vibbs, as the captain, had lost his imposing manner. Like the crew members, his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Captain...," Vibbs stammered, realizing he had underestimated Carnes.
This scene completely shattered his understanding of Carnes and the Gale Emperor Pirates.
He already knew how powerful Carnes was, as he could easily defeat the people on his ship.
But now, after seeing the fierce battle between Carnes and the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, he deeply understood that he had underestimated Carnes.
Carnes's strength was much greater than he had imagined!
On the Eternal Gale, the crew members remained calmer, as they had unwavering faith in their captain's strength.
In their eyes, the captain's strength was unquestionable!
Of course, except for Bonney!
Bonney was completely shocked by the immense strength displayed by Mihawk and Carnes.
"So... this is his true power?!"
"Capable of rivalling one of the Seven Warlords, the world's strongest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk!"
"I can't even see their movements..."
"So impressive..."
Bonney's eyes flickered, deeply impacted by the intense battle between Carnes and Mihawk. It had a tremendous visual impact on her.
Her hands trembled uncontrollably to the point where she tightly clenched her fists and bit her lip, lowering her head.
"This isn't good!"
"This is really bad!"
"Why? Why do I... I have the impulse to cheer and support that bastard?!"
