Chương 1546: On top of the war (158)

Diana shouted, swung her arm forward, and the green blade instantly slashed out like lightning.

Wherever the blade passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.

Just from this one move, it can be seen that Diana is no ordinary person, she is actually a swordsman.

Diana is only twenty years old this year, at the prime of her youth and beauty.

A twenty-year-old swordsman is an extremely rare existence in the entire ocean.

No one expected that such a delicate and pretty young girl would possess such profound attainments in swordsmanship.

When Diana swung the sword, a hint of surprise flashed across the calm face of Hawkeye Mihawk, who had kept his eyes closed not far away. His tightly closed eyes immediately opened, and his gaze like cold stars looked straight at Diana, the young swordsman.

Mihawk's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and inquiry. He looked Diana up and down, secretly exclaiming in his heart: "Swordsman, what a young girl, the blood of the Rockefeller family is indeed extraordinary!"

Mihawk looked at Diana, admiration gradually showing in his eyes.

However, when Mihawk saw the attack Diana unleashed, he frowned slightly.

He found that although Diana's sword was sharp, she was still a little immature in the use of skills and strength.

Although the trajectory of the blade was swift, there were still some flaws in the details, and it was not round and smooth enough.

Mihawk thought to himself that although this young swordsman was extremely talented, he still needed to go through more hardships and growth if he wanted to truly become a top swordsman.

However, when Mihawk's eyes were fixed on Diana and he clearly saw that her attack was mixed with another strange and powerful force, a hint of displeasure flashed across his originally calm eyes.

"Tsk! Another devil fruit user."

Mihawk muttered, his brows furrowed tightly, his face full of dissatisfaction and regret.

"What's going on with the Rockefeller family? Why do they like eating devil fruits so much?"

His voice was low, revealing a sense of disappointment.

"You have such a great talent in swordsmanship, why do you want to eat a devil fruit? This is simply adding fuel to the fire!"

To Mihawk, kendo is an extremely sacred and pure art.

Once you embark on the path of kendo, you should have no distractions, devote all your energy and enthusiasm to it, and have the purest feeling and the most firm belief in your kendo.

In his opinion, kendo requires full commitment to understanding and practicing. Every swing of the sword and every movement should be a reflection of the ultimate pursuit of kendo.

And in Mihawk's opinion, Diana is practicing the way of a swordsman while developing the power of a devil fruit, which is completely disloyal to the way of the sword.

Those pure kendo training scenes could not help but emerge in his mind. Swordsmen constantly honed their swordsmanship in arduous training, relying on their own will and hard work to break through their limits. That was the kendo path he recognized.

But Diana's actions made him feel that she had deviated from the right path of kendo.

As a pure swordsmanship master, Mihawk naturally found it difficult to accept this situation.

In his eyes, Diana was simply wasting her excellent talent in swordsmanship.

He thought of those members of the Rockefeller family who also showed a unique talent for kendo, like Esdeath, her sharp sword moves seemed to be able to cut through the void, and every time she drew her sword, she carried an indomitable momentum; and Julie, her swordsmanship was agile and elegant, yet concealed a deadly murderous intent; and this newly emerged swordsman Diana, they all had amazing kendo talent, and their innate keen perception of kendo and super comprehension ability made Mihawk admire them.

However, the only thing that Mihawk didn't like was that they all ate devil fruits.

This was like a flaw on a piece of beautiful jade, which made Mihawk feel deeply regretful.

He seemed to be able to see that if they could stick to the path of kendo and practice swordsmanship without distraction, they would become legends in the kendo world in the future and leave a strong mark in the long history of kendo.

But now, the intervention of the devil fruit ability has made their path to the sword more complicated, and it is also full of unknowns whether they can reach a higher level in the sword.

Mihawk shook his head slightly, his eyes full of regret, and sighed silently in his heart, wondering when these talented swordsmen would be able to understand the purity and true meaning of kendo.

On the battlefield filled with smoke and tension, Diana held a sharp blade with cold and resolute eyes.

She slightly turned sideways, and then, with a sudden flick of her wrist and a low shout, the long knife in her hand slashed down like lightning.

A slash of green as a deep pool burst out from the blade, carrying with it an invisible and powerful force, like a roaring beast, sweeping towards the surrounding navy.

Wherever the green slash passed, the air seemed to be distorted.

The surrounding sailors were originally on high alert, with tension and determination on their faces, but when the green slash hit them, their bodies were instantly manipulated as if by an invisible giant hand.

The originally straight body began to twist irregularly like a twist.

Their limbs were bent at an angle that defied common sense, and their bones made crisp crackling sounds, as if they would break at any time.

Some of the naval soldiers had their heads twisted behind their backs, their wide-open eyes filled with fear and pain; others had their bodies folded in half, their hands and feet tangled together, looking extremely miserable.

"what!"

The screams of the surrounding marines came one after another, the sound was sharp and miserable, as if it could penetrate the noisy battlefield.

The marines in front of Diana were like weeds swept by the wind. They were twisted into a ball, lying on the ground in a disorderly manner, struggling in pain.

Blood gushed out from their twisted bodies, gathering into dark red pools on the ground.

This astonishing scene is a display of the power of the distortion fruit.

Diana's seemingly simple sword move contained enormous power, and the power of the sword immediately shocked everyone around her.

The battlefield seemed to be quiet at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Diana, with fear and awe in their eyes.

"What ability is that?"

Blackbeard was standing not far away, and when he saw the corpses twisted into a ball, he was shocked.

His originally broad chest was heaving violently, and his eyes were as big as copper bells, full of shock.
