Crocodile had a serious expression on his face. He knew Kate's fear, but he also knew that the current situation did not allow him to retreat. He licked his cracked lips gently, ready to deal with any possible conflict at any time.

Kate smiled slightly, and that smile showed both approval of Bucky's witty response and recognition of the strength and courage of the three people in front of her. "Bucky, your proposal is very tempting, but I have my own principles. However, since you are willing to talk, I will give you a chance."

As she spoke, Kate's eyes swept over the three of them!

He first fixed his gaze on Crocodile and said, "I want his devil fruit. I don't think you will object, right?"

"Impossible!!!" Crocodile almost went berserk in an instant!

And Buggy kept stopping Crocodile to avoid giving Kate an excuse to attack.

Kate finally stopped at Hawkeye. "Hawkeye, according to the agreement we made during the Battle of Marineford, I am curious about you, who is known as the world's best swordsman. No! I should say, can your sword catch my Zanpakutō?"

As soon as these words came out, a gleam of light flashed in Hawkeye's eyes, which was the desire and excitement for the challenge of the strong. He slowly pulled out the black knife from behind, and the blade was shining with a faint cold light, as if it could devour everything.

"Kate, I have seen how powerful you are. If you really have that strength, I would naturally be willing to learn from you."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and the air around seemed to freeze.

Hawkeye pulled out the black knife from his back, pointed the tip of the knife at Kate and said:

"One of the Twelve Supreme Swords, the Black Sword Night! In my hands it is known as the strongest black sword in the world!"

"The blade of the sword is uniquely designed with a chaotic blade and a heavy flower pattern. It can release powerful and long-range slashes. This sword can easily cut through giant tsunamis and meteorites!"

Listen to the other party solemnly introducing the supreme sword in his hand!

Kate also pulled out the Ryujin Jakka from her waist with a serious expression and said:

"Ryujin Jakka, this is the symbol of my own school, and it does not belong to any great sword series!"

"This is a fire-type Zanpakutō. Not only can it release a blazing flame that burns everything, it can also transform into various forms of fire attacks under my will, capable of devouring anything that dares to challenge it."

"The most powerful thing about my sword is not the flame, but the temperature it can contain!"

Kate's voice was steady and powerful, and every word seemed to contain the power of blazing fire, causing the air around them to begin to distort slightly, as if even time had slowed down because of this power.

The two people's eyes met in the air, as if invisible sparks were colliding, and a suffocating tension filled the air.

Buggy and Crocodile took a few steps back, giving the two strong men enough space to show their strength and dignity.

"Then, let us decide the outcome of this battle in the name of sword." Kate's voice was filled with unquestionable determination. He slowly raised Ryujin Jakka, with the tip of the blade pointing directly at Hawkeye. Flames began to wrap around his blade, forming circles of blazing flame halos.

Kate just added some fire effects as a sign of respect!

Facing a strong man like Hawkeye, Kate hopes to defeat the most powerful swordsman in the world with her sword skills!

Hawkeye was not to be outdone. He took a deep breath, and the cold light of the black knife became even brighter at night, as if it could freeze all the heat around it.

He stepped forward slowly; each step seemed so steady and powerful, reflecting his absolute confidence in his swordsmanship.

"Very good, Kate. I approve of your sword. You and I now look like ice and fire! Today, let us verify whether fire can melt ice or ice can extinguish fire."

After saying that, the two men launched their attacks almost at the same time. In an instant, the battlefield was brightly lit, and two sword lights, one red and one black, intertwined together, forming a shocking picture. The blade of Liu Ren Ruo Huo rushed towards Hawkeye like a mad dragon, while Hei Dao Ye turned into a black lightning and slashed at the opponent's powerful blow at an incredible speed!

The two collided violently in the air, causing a deafening roar.

Bucky stared at the scene with wide eyes!

Then his body split into two and fled madly into the distance.

And at the place where Bucky had just stood, a smooth crack began to appear on the ground.

Then, this crack continued to lengthen and expand!

Until the Cross Guild's headquarters was completely split in half.

"The island, the island, the whole island has been cut in half!!!"

All the pirates looked at the scene in front of them in shock!

"These two bastards, if I hadn't eaten the Shard-in-Five Fruit, that slash would have killed me!" Ugly King Buggy cursed in a crying voice as he ran.

Fortunately, the situation between Kate and Hawkeye was just a first test.

If these two had used their domineering powers in unison, Buggy would have been killed on the spot by Kate and Hawkeye's attacks!

"No! Look at the sky!"

Many people turned their eyes to the sky after hearing this!

I saw that the sky was divided into two like the island below. A clear and straight crack ran across the sky, splitting the blue sky into two worlds.

This incredible scene left everyone present dumbfounded, as if the whole world had lost its balance at this moment.

"What kind of power is this?!" someone asked in a trembling voice, eyes full of disbelief.

"This is just the aftermath of the sword energy..." Crocodile said in a deep voice.

There was both shock and awe in his eyes. "Their sword skills have surpassed the scope of what ordinary people can understand and have reached an effect that can affect the world."

As the cracks in the sky and the island gradually dissipated and returned to their original state, the brief shock was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart. The confrontation between Kate and Hawkeye was not only a contest of strength, but also a display of the ultimate pursuit of kendo.

"These two guys are so scary..." Bucky stopped with lingering fear, looking at the two people confronting each other in the distance, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He had never thought that one day he would witness such a battle so close, let alone expect that his proposal would lead to such shocking consequences.

But regardless, the battle has begun.

"Guys! Everyone, get off this island! Hurry up!!!"

In order to ensure that the Cross Guild would not suffer too many heavy casualties, Buggy was about to lead his men to run as far as they could.

Are you kidding? Bucky is not stupid. If he doesn't run away with his men, all of them will die here!
