One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 280 Battle Between Great Swordsmen

"hiss……"

With a gasp of shock, "Flore" Vista looked utterly astonished.

In his understanding, the reversal of offense and defense usually only occurs in matches where the odds are heavily against each other. And he himself had only ever had such a profound experience when facing his father.

However, at this very moment, he felt the same terrifying power in his confrontation with Aini.

This filled him with indescribable horror.

Even as he was horrified, he was still enduring the impact from Aini. Vista barely managed to withstand the powerful force with all his might.

His body was constantly moving backward, and his feet left two deep drag marks on the ice.

It's clear how much force he endured in that collision.

This breathtaking scene drew everyone's attention.

After all, one was a candidate for admiral in the navy, and the other was a world-renowned swordsman. Such a clash of titans was undoubtedly the focus of this battle.

This exchange of blows naturally attracted everyone's attention.

When everyone saw Vista immediately fall into a disadvantageous position under Enni's attack, their expressions changed slightly. However, there was a difference: the members of the Whitebeard Pirates all showed expressions of horror.

The Navy was overjoyed. Their morale, which had been somewhat low because Whitebeard had knocked Enni away with his attack, was instantly boosted.

At this moment, Aini's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, fixed intently on "Floral" Vista. His eyes grew increasingly piercing, as if they could penetrate Vista's body and perceive every fluctuation in his heart.

"'Foil' Vista..."

Enni murmured the name softly, then muttered under his breath, "A great swordsman of dual swords, the 5th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. In the entire Whitebeard Pirates, his fighting strength is enough to rank among the top five."

As she said this, the corners of Aini's mouth turned up slightly, forming a smile that was neither a smile nor a smile, revealing a profound and elusive meaning.

However, that smile vanished in an instant, his expression turning serious, and he changed the subject: "Using you to establish my authority is just right!"

Before he finished speaking, Aini's hand landed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The instant Aini's hand gripped the hilt of the knife, a powerful aura erupted from his body like a surging wave. This aura was like a drawn sword, gleaming coldly and unstoppable, seemingly capable of severing everything in the world.

This astonishing scene was witnessed by Hawkeye, whose already sharp eyes suddenly lit up, and a hint of undisguised anticipation appeared on his usually indifferent face.

For a great swordsman like Hawkeye, a true opponent is something that comes along only occasionally. At this moment, however, he sensed an unprecedented threat from Aini, filling him with anticipation for the battle to come.

In comparison, while Vista, the "Flower Sword," is also a great swordsman, Enni is clearly more challenging in Hawkeye's eyes. After all, anyone who can leave a scar on Kaido must be a force to be reckoned with.

When Vista himself saw Aini's hand on the hilt of his sword, he couldn't help but feel a sudden tension in his heart.

He knew how formidable the man before him was. After all, besides Oden, Enigma was the only one who could leave a mark on Kaido!

As a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Vista was acutely aware of Oden's strength, the former second division commander. In comparison, Enni's swordsmanship was undoubtedly top-notch; how could he dare to be careless in the slightest?

He exerted force with both hands, gripping the two swords tightly, and forcibly steadied his still trembling hands.

"Whirling Slash!"

With a roar, "Floral Sword" Vista struck with lightning speed. With a flick of his wrist, his longsword drew an arc in the air, and then with overwhelming force, a dazzling slash shot out.

This slash was like a meteor streaking across the night sky, as fast as lightning, and swept over like a whirlwind in the blink of an eye.

However, this was just the beginning. Vista did not stop. He swung his sword again, and another equally powerful slash erupted.

The two slashes, one after the other, were like two roaring dragons, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Aini. Their speed was astonishing, as if they had instantly traversed space and arrived in front of Aini in the blink of an eye.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Aini showed no fear. He narrowed his eyes, gripped Qiushui tightly in his hand, and suddenly, with a flick of his arm, Qiushui was drawn from its sheath like a bolt of lightning.

In an instant, a massive, jaw-dropping slash erupted. This slash, twenty meters high, stood majestically like a mountain, carrying unparalleled power, and went straight to meet Vista's two slashes.

With a deafening roar, Aini's slash collided violently with Vista's sword light. In an instant, sword energy shot out in all directions, shockwaves surged, and the entire space seemed to tremble from the force of this powerful impact.

However, to everyone's astonishment, Aini's slash only held for a moment before easily breaking through Vista's two sword beams.

Then, like a piece of thin paper blown away by a hurricane, it vanished without a trace in an instant.

Aini's slash, however, continued its relentless advance, its momentum undiminished. Wherever it passed, the hard ice was easily shattered like tofu, revealing a deep trench. This trench was tens of meters long, as if the earth itself had been forcibly torn apart; its terrifying power was utterly astonishing.

"hiss……"

Those who witnessed this scene gasped in unison. Their eyes widened, their faces filled with astonishment as they stared at the sight before them, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.

This was no ordinary battle; it was a one-sided crushing defeat!

Although both are powerful swordsmen, the difference in their skill level is now obvious.

If Enni could gain the upper hand in terms of power in their previous clashes thanks to his Zoan-type Devil Fruit, then now he is demonstrating a level of swordsmanship that completely overwhelms Vista, the "Floral Swordsman."

Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk's eyes lit up, because Aini's attack was no less powerful than the slash he had just unleashed.

This made him even more interested in Aini.

In contrast, Vista, the "flower fencer," was not in the mood for that, as he was facing the slash head-on, and his expression changed drastically.

Then, he crossed his two swords in front of him, bent his legs slightly, and leaned his upper body forward slightly, assuming a defensive stance.
