**"The wind howled across the rocky terrain of the battlefield as Mihawk and Zoro clashed their blades once more. The clash echoed through the mountains as both warriors tested each other's strength, skill, and determination. With every parry and strike, the tension between them rose, and both knew that a single mistake could mean defeat. Zoro gritted his teeth and focused on his opponent. His swords glinted in the sunlight as he moved with precision and grace. Mihawk was equally composed, his black cape fluttering in the wind as he analyzed Zoro's moves with a cold, calculating gaze. Suddenly, Zoro saw an opening and lunged forward with a fierce attack. Mihawk's eyes narrowed as he swiftly countered with a flurry of strikes. The two fighters clashed, their swords creating sparks as they pushed against each other with all their might. As the blades locked together, a moment of hesitation from one of the fighters created an opening. Zoro's grip on his swords tightened as he saw the opportunity and took it. With lightning-fast reflexes, he dodged Mihawk's blade and struck back with a fierce attack of his own. Mihawk staggered backward, caught off guard by Zoro's sudden burst of energy. Zoro seized the moment and pressed his attack, determined to gain the upper hand. Mihawk, however, was not one to be easily defeated. With a fierce roar, he regained his composure and counterattacked with a barrage of blows. The battle raged on, the two warriors locked in a deadly dance of blades. With each passing moment, the stakes became higher, and the tension between them escalated. Sweat poured down their faces as they pushed themselves to their limits. Who will emerge victorious in this epic battle of skill and willpower? Only time will tell." --niji 5** - <@1099189558635155507> (fast)
