When Hawkeye completely pulled out his Black Blade, he was the most distinctive person on the battlefield.
As Hawkeye raised his Black Blade, Yoru, his aura became even fiercer that the surrounding Marines took a few steps out of fear of being accidentally injured by Hawkeye.
Swish!
Hawkeye looked straight at Nagasawa before swinging Yoru down with all his might.
In an instant, a ten-meter-tall green slash wave quickly rushed towards Whitebeard, who was standing on the Moby Dick.
"Let me see how strong the strongest man in the world is!"
The powerful slash wave rapidly cut through the ice sheet as it made its way toward Whitebeard.
Everyone just got out of the slash wave's way, be it Marine or pirate.
One of the Division Captain noticed Nagasawa didn't have any intention of dodging, which made him shout in worry:
"Pops!"
The Captain of the 3rd Division, Jozu, was running toward Moby Dick, planning to block Hawkeye's slash wave with his body.
Jozu knew that his pops could stop the slash wave even without his help. However, he was the shield of Whitebeard Pirates, and before he fell, no one was allowed to harm his pops!
"Gu ra ra ra ra." Facing the terrifying slash wave, Nagasawa laughed instead of being afraid.
"Good one, brat! Now, it's my turn!" Nagasawa held Murakumogiri with both hands.
Although this Murakumogiri was different from the Chakra Blade that he asked Golden Organization to make, as it could not transform into a 14-meter Naginata, it was one of the highest-quality blades in One Piece Universe as it was one of the 12 Supreme Grade Blades!
Nagasawa inhaled a lot of oxygen into his body. He had already used Total Concentration Breathing, and now his body was much stronger than normal.
Immediately after, the Chakra within Nagasawa's body fiercely surged, strengthening his hands and Murakumogiri itself, generating a golden hue around Murakumogiri's blade.
Even before Nagasawa swung Murakumogiri, the golden hue around Murakumogiri's blade had already released terrifying heat.
This was Nagasawa's strongest slash since he obtained Yoriichi Tsugikuni's talent and Whitebeard's template.
When his attack was not terrible, he had not yet obtained Yoriichi Tsugikuni's talent, only a scratch, so it could not be considered the strongest attack.
Even though he had already obtained Yoriichi Tsugikuni's talent during his raid on Root's underground base with Orochimaru, he had to hold back at that time because his main purpose was finding some information. If he used all his might, he might destroy everything in the base and come back empty-handed
And now, his Whitebeard template had reached 90% fusion rate, and he had obtained Tobirama Senju's template and even had it at a 60% fusion rate.
Now, the Chakra on his body was no longer the same as before.
On the other hand, the Pilgrimage of the Scorching Sun was a move that derived from the power of One Piece, Naruto, and Demon Slayer's Universe, meaning if any of his templates grew stronger, this move would grow stronger, too.
Tsssss!
White smoke was constantly rising around Nagasawa, and the ice under the ship could not withstand the heat from the golden hue around Murakumogiri's blade, and it was melting!
"Jozu, get out of the way!" Nagasawa shouted.
After getting close enough to Nagasawa, Jozu also felt the scorching heat around the Moby Dick. Although he did not know what kind of move his father was about to use, it must be terrifying.
Knowing that, Jozu jumped out of the way.
"Sun Breathing Fourteenth Form: Pilgrimage of the Scorching Sun!" Seeing that Jozu was no longer on the course of Hawkeye's slash wave, Nagasawa threw the power he had charged from Murakumogiri, sending A thirty-meter-long giant crescent-shaped flame slash toward Hawkeye.
The entire Marineford was dyed a faint golden color.
The Marines looked at this slash wave in horror. No, this was not a slash, this was a sun!
The slash that lit up the entire battlefield was like a scorching sun falling from the sky.
This was the true power of the Pilgrimage of the Scorching Sun!
Just the dazzling light from the slash alone was enough to make even those who saw it from the live broadcast feel how terrifying it was.
"What the hell is going on? That Whitebeard can actually create a sun?" Someone looked at the big screen in disbelief.
"Can the Marines really stop such an attack?" Even before the two slash waves collided, some people had already lost their faith in Hawkeye and the Marines.
Everyone might be afraid of a tsunami, but a blazing sun with golden light was something else!
How could a person block the sun?
Even Whitebeard's old opponents, Garp and Sengoku, widened their eyes as they saw this terrifying attack.
They swore that they had never seen Whitebeard use this move when they fought him.
Otherwise, the title of the World's Greatest Swordsman wouldn't fall to Hawkeye.
'Could it be that this is what he had trained for in the last decade? Sengoku couldn't help but guess.
When Hawkeye saw this slash that was like a scorching sun, his usually calm face showed a hint of surprise.
As the greatest swordsman in the world, no one knew better than him how terrifying Whitebeard's attack was.
Hawkeye had expected that his slash wave would be dissipated either by Whitebeard's punch or by the 3rd Division Captain's tough body, but he certainly didn't expect that Whitebeard would throw such a terrifying slash wave.
It was the most terrifying slash wave that Hawkeye had ever seen.
The giant raging Flame Slash travelled across the ice, evaporating a large amount of ice in its path, and the water vapor produced by the evaporating ice would form a white mist.
Everyone wouldn't risk getting anywhere near this Flame Slash Wave.
Some of the Marines who had no time to dodge were devoured by the flames and instantly disappeared, leaving only a little bit of black ash.
Finally, everyone watched as the green and the flaming slash waves collided.
Boom!
The moment the two slash waves collided, a huge explosion occurred.
The powerful shockwave blew away everyone nearby.
At first, the green slash wave seemed evenly match with the flaming slash wave, but it was only for a few seconds before it got completely overpowered and dissipated into the air
The World's Greatest Swordsman Hawkeye lost to Whitebeard in the contest of swordsmanship.
This was something that many people had never expected.
Everyone would believe if Whitebeard defeated Hawkeye and even killed him, but they certainly couldn't believe Whitebeard would win that easily against Hawkeye in swordsmanship
Even Whitebeard Pirate Division Captains couldn't believe their eyes, let alone the Marines and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Vista watched in bewilderment as his pops easily dissipated Hawkeye's green slash wave with a strike that was like a scorching sun.
'So pops turns out to be the World's Greatest Swordman,' Such thoughts couldn't help but arose in his mind.
Vista was also an excellent swordsman, so he knew how terrifying Hawkeye's slash wave was. He might be able to block it, but he definitely could not overpower it with his own slash wave.
However, that troublesome slash wave was easily dissipated by his pops' strike.
With the ability to dish out such a powerful attack, there was no doubt that his pops was a better swordsman than Hawkeye!
Vista assumed that the reason why he had never seen his pops used this move was that it was too taxing, and his old and sickly pops did not have the strength to use it.
After dissipating Hawkeye's slash wave, the Scorching Sun slash wave was still moving at an extremely fast speed toward Marineford.
