Fujitora was slightly stunned and said calmly: "For you to come to such an evaluation, he must be a very powerful swordsman!"
After speaking, in Fujitora's hand, the sword that had been silent for a long time suddenly began to buzz.
Only then did he realize.
This close friend, who has been with him for a long time, is feeling extremely excited because of the man in front of him.
"Oh."
"I'm sorry, it's been a long time since this guy has met a powerful swordsman."
"He has a straightforward personality. If I had to describe him, he would probably be like a typical gangster in Wano Country."
"They are irritable and impulsive, but they often have a burning heart."
Hearing those words, Gawain's gaze fell on the sword in Fujitora's hand.
From its appearance, it was just an ordinary sword, even simpler than the Guanze Masamune, which was simple in shape.
But it has a sharpness that is completely different from its appearance.
"One of the 12 Supreme Grade swords."
"Yakuza Kasen."
As the sound fell, the Guanze Masamune in Gawain's hand also began to become restless.
If the Yakuza Kasen's character is more like a typical gang leader in Wano Country, then Gawain's Guanze Masamune is a bloodthirsty madman!
Fujitora naturally sensed Guanze Masamune's unusual movements and his fighting spirit rose: "I had a lot of questions piled up in my mind."
"For example, what kind of pirates are needed to make Raven Harbor as prosperous as it is now, enough to make others see the hope on the faces of ordinary citizens here."
"But now I guess I don't need to ask."
"A top swordsman can understand what the other person is thinking just by fighting."
"Mr. Gawain, please enlighten me!"
There was only one firm voice that answered Fujitora: "Okay!"
Gawain stood up, paid for the drinks, and walked towards the back mountain of Raven Harbor with Fujitora because only under that kind of terrain could he and the monster in front of him really let go.
Gawain had respect for Fujitora in front of him.
The color of Fujitora is purple, which is a mixture of blue and red.
Therefore, Fujitora's character and the justice he upholds are more like a fusion of Akainu and Aokiji.
The former has a firm will that is not shaken by external things, and the latter has human feelings.
To some extent, Fujitora is the future of the Marines, and his will is the true model of justice.
Ten minutes later.
At the hills behind Raven Harbor, two figures stood facing each other among the rugged mountains.
The howling sea breeze startled the birds in the forest and made their clothes rustle.
Gawain looked at his opponent, and a fighting spirit rose in his heart.
This was different from the previous battle against Hawk Eyes, where he was beaten unilaterally by the opponent.
Judging from the aura emanating from Fujitora, his opponent's current strength should be on the same level as his own.
It has not yet reached the heights that were later shown in Dressrosa.
But for Gawain, at this moment, he is the best opponent.
At some point...
Zheng!
Two almost completely overlapping sounds of swords being unsheathed rang out in mid-air, almost tearing the air apart.
Gawain's figure disappeared directly from the spot at such a speed that a layer of white mist rose in the air. This was the manifestation of his body exceeding the speed of sound.
The level of his physique skyrocketed, and his Pussyfoot Maneuver also improved significantly. The combination of the two resulted in an explosive speed that was several times faster than before!
Bang!
Fujitora drew his sword to block Gawain's sudden attack but was also knocked back by the impact brought by the high speed.
For a while, Yakuza Kasen kept buzzing; it was extremely excited to face the opponent in front of it!
"A speed-type swordsman?!"
Fujitora muttered to himself, his face becoming more solemn: "And that sword is definitely not an ordinary one."
"I sense a familiar aura. Yes, this is one of the most powerful swords in Wano Country."
"21 Great Grade Blades - Guanze Masamune."
"Even among the famous swords produced in Wano Country, it is absolutely unique. In terms of murderous nature alone, it is even the most brutal sword in the history of Wano Country."
"A merciful man, a murderous sword…"
"Interesting!"
"Let me see what kind of will is contained in your sword!"
The next moment, Fujitora swung his sword horizontally, accurately blocking Gawain's incoming attack.
Sparks flashed in the air.
The dissipated Flying Slash left hideous cuts on the surrounding peaks, spreading for dozens of meters and even cutting a mountain in half.
Boom!
The huge rock fell to the ground and broke into pieces, spreading clouds of dust around it, completely submerging the figures of Gawain and Fujitora.
But the boundless smoke and dust only existed for a moment before it was blown away by the more ferocious Flying Slash.
The two figures got close to each other and started fighting fiercely.
One is agile and swift, relying on his swift speed and the ability to predict the future to launch round after round of fierce attacks.
While the other one is powerful and strong, and his moves are sophisticated.
Even if his moves were seen through, he could always deploy his blade in a dangerous way, which is what is meant by simplicity.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of collisions sounded, and each one was stronger and louder than the last.
Fujitora kept retreating, using the sword in his hand to accurately resist Gawain's attack, but his face was full of doubts: "Are you going to destroy everything that stands in your way? Such brutal swordsmanship is completely different from the character you have shown."
"I thought that the person who could turn this place into a paradise should be a kind-hearted man."
"Now, it seems that's not the case."
"In a world governed by the World Government, there are a lot of complaints, but in a bloodthirsty pirate territory, there is a glimmer of hope."
The more he talked, the confusion on Fujitora's face became more and more serious.
It was because what he saw and heard in Raven Harbor had shattered the knowledge he had gained from decades of travel.
If this is correct, then the World Government…
Fujitora didn't think any further, but his face flushed, and he roared: "Why?!"
Bang!
After another round of fighting, Gawain appeared dozens of meters away, his entire arm numb from the continuous collisions.
After he moved his shoulders slightly, he said calmly: "So what do you think is the difference between this harbor and the places you've been to?!"
"You have been to so many places and seen so many people from the lower classes parting with each other in life and death. Have you found the answer in your heart?!"
Fujitora remained silent, but the strength in his hands suddenly increased.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, Gawain took advantage of the momentum and retreated violently until he was several hundred meters away. He then crushed the mountain behind him with one foot and rushed towards Fujitora.
"It seems you didn't find the answer!"
"No!"
"You didn't really look at the answer. It turns out that not only your eyes are blind, but also your heart."
At this moment, Gawain's speed was so fast that he disappeared from sight.
His ability to predict the future was used to the fullest at this moment and everything that was going to happen in the next three seconds appeared in his sight.
Fujitora would block his attack with his sword and then repelled himself again.
But Gawain was tired of this kind of game.
The next moment, Gawain stopped suddenly halfway, crushing the rock under his feet.
It was not until Fujitora, in the distance, slashed with his sword, and before he could stop, Gawain picked up his speed again and slashed with his sword…
Whoosh!
A line of blood suddenly spurted out from under Fujitora's face.
Even though he tried his best to dodge, he was still one step slower than Gawain and was scratched on the side of his face, leaving a permanent scar.
