Chapter 601
“…If it’s among the swordsmen, it’s roughly the same. But, for a boy like you, it’s too early to go to the sea, right?”
He was silent for a while, but Hawkeye still chose to answer. After all, he had also been floating on the sea for several days, and now is the time to feel a little bored. Not to mention the red-nosed clown who smelled like a pirate, but this straw hat boy who obviously didn’t have any murderous intent was also on the sea, which made him involuntarily a little curious.
“Oh~! Then you are amazing~! How about you, do you want to go out to sea with us? I went out to sea to become the Pirate King. Now, I am looking for a powerful swordsman companion.”
Luffy’s words directly scared Bucky who was grabbing his neck, not only because of what this daring guy said to the world’s largest swordsman, but also because of the other party’s so-called wish to go to sea .
[Do you know who he is, bastard? ! Didn’t I tell you that he is the world’s number one great swordsman? ! And he said in front of me that he wanted to become the Pirate King? ! Damn straw hat bastard! 】
Bucky’s mental activity is naturally not the theme now, the theme is the reaction of Hawkeye on the boat. Obviously, after hearing the words that could be called ‘arrogant’, Hawkeye also narrowed his eyes subconsciously, in all fairness This is the first time in so many years that someone has the guts to invite him, one of the seven kings, to go out to sea and become a pirate. Besides, One Piece?
Looking carefully at Luffy’s eyes, Hawkeye’s tone also carried a little danger: “You, what do you think One Piece is? Why do you want to be One Piece?”
Hawkeye has seen countless pirates who used to clamor like this, but none of them can be taken seriously by Hawkeye, because those are just some garbage that only daydreams, but never wants to realize their dreams well. , In the eyes of those people, the so-called One Piece is nothing more than ‘wealth’, ‘woman’, ‘reputation’ and ‘power’.
“Ah, One Piece is the freest person in this sea. So, I want to be the freest person, find onepiece, and become One Piece.”
There was no impurity in his eyes, and Luffy’s face also showed a little longing. Obviously, he didn’t have any dirty thoughts about the pursuit of the title of One Piece, just because he regarded it as a dream.
Hawkeye’s eyes were also slightly surprised. After repeatedly confirming Luffy’s expression and tone, and after confirming that he was not lying, the great swordsman couldn’t help showing a little smile. That’s right, whenever he sees someone who is really chasing his dream, Hawkeye doesn’t mind paying respect to him, because such a person is the one who really takes risks on the sea. And even for a well-informed person like Hawkeye, there are probably not many people with such eyes in the entire sea.
“Hahaha, it’s not an easy thing to become the pirate king. Besides, I have no intention of going out to sea with a boat, but I’m going to a place where there should be many swordsmen, do you want to go to sea with a boat? I’ll go take a look?”
Sitting back on his own boat, Hawkeye obviously didn’t want to disappoint the straw hat boy who was aiming for One Piece, and nodded vigorously with interest, and Luffy also said: “Okay~! Then we’ll set off. Come on~! I want to find a suitable swordsman as soon as possible.”
[Damn~! There was still an agreement? ! Did something go wrong? By the way, what was I going to do before, **** it! Surprised to forget! 】
Bucky, who was biting his sleeves, was undoubtedly unable to even cry now. He could only mechanically and instinctively pick up the oars on one side and start rowing. There was no doubt that there was nowhere to run on this sea, and Now he is still with the big evil star Hawkeye, which undoubtedly makes Bucky more and more exhausted.
Aside from this encounter on the sea, in this sea, it does not revolve around only a few people, and the sound of the ebb and flow of the wind still only turns from the top of the building called ‘group’. An anemometer used to measure wind speed.
“Wow~~! It’s wonderful~!!”
To be able to make such exclamations on the street is obviously a manifestation of emotional excitement. The red-footed Zep, who was walking at the front, turned his head back impatiently, watching Sanji who was following behind him and roaring: “I’m making a noise, you brat! We’re here to buy ingredients, not to see you committing crimes. Crazy!”
There is no doubt that the whole ship of the sea restaurant Bharati was invited to Belmer this time, and it was docked on the pier on the coast at the moment, while the chefs of Red Foot Zapp and Sanji went ashore to the market in person. Come up to replenish the food.
As for Sanji, it is undoubtedly the unusually beautiful female clerks outside the izakaya or cafes on both sides of the street. It is reasonable to say that a woman with this level of beauty is enough to enter the higher society, but for some reason, she Just work hard in these positions.
“Um… can you please excuse me? Bucky… No, the Bucky Circus will be opening soon~ Okay, could you come by then?”
At this moment, a woman standing on the side of the road shivered in front of a group of chefs. The other party’s figure looked quite thin, and although the clown makeup painted on her face covered most of her appearance, But it can still be seen that she is an exceptionally beautiful woman. And in her hand is a thick stack of flyers, obviously this is her job.
“Of course you can!! This beautiful lady, I will definitely come!”
Sanji, who had peach eyes, held the little beauty’s hands like a rocket, but the clown girl who was holding her hands screamed as if she was bitten by something, and then fled the area in a hurry. Sanji, who was holding the flyer, couldn’t help but feel a little regretful: “Really, she’s still a rather shy girl.”
For Sanji’s state, Zhep is obviously not surprised, and as a veteran pirate who has traveled the great route, after scanning the surrounding environment for a few times, he immediately found a certain focus.
That’s right, those shop assistants who look extremely beautiful, including the clown girl who handed out the circus flyer just now, have one thing in common. That is, a peculiar collar on the neck, if for those who have no scheming, this collar may be some kind of special ornament. But to Zapp, it was clearly some kind of sinister and brutal prohibition.
“Okay, I didn’t care what you did in the shop before, this old man can ignore it. But this time, in this country, you put away your chivalrous spirit. Got it?”
With his back to Sanji, Zep also spoke sternly in a rare manner, which made Sanji, who had not reacted, instinctively argue: “What are you talking about, stinky old man~! I was born for the ladies!”
Such an answer made Zapp turn around lightly, and then he spat out his answer very calmly.
“Then give up this belief now. Anyway, you have already given up one belief, and it is not too much to give up another one.”
(PS1: The first update~~ Well, the gear of fate is turning~~)
(PS2: Sure enough, warm days have arrived…and it’s still an irresistible spring sleepiness…)
The Black Knife Challenge
“Okay! Successful landing! ~Is this a town with powerful swordsmen?”
On the shore of Seymour Zhiji Village, Luffy, who finally landed on the land, looked at the town in front of him and cheered loudly, and the eagle eye on one side also jumped ashore, and then glanced at the town roughly, as the strongest Swordsman, this great swordsman nodded slightly: “Yes, although they are all sad and weak, they do have the air and momentum of swordsmen. Here, it is indeed a gathering place for swordsmen.”
Obviously, although Luffy is indeed an idiot with a sense of direction, Hawkeye and Bucky are both old sea travelers who have been in the sea for decades. Naturally, they will not find the wrong place, especially Hawkeye itself is looking for the first generation of Xia. Lan came, and there would be no problem with route planning, so after about half a day of travel, everyone successfully landed on the shore of Seymour Zhiji Village.
“Oh~ look at that~! It’s amazing~ there is such a big signboard!”
And the sharp-eyed Luffy directly saw the big signboard of the Xin Dojo on the top of the mountain, but in response, Hawkeye just shook his head slightly boringly: “It’s a pompous place, let’s go and find that demon swordsman.”
Watching Hawkeye open the way directly ahead, Bucky, tired of rowing and half-dead, finally climbed out of the cabin and looked around weakly. Bucky obviously didn’t have the strength to clean up Luffy, but turned around and thought. Slip away, he’s had enough of this **** straw hat boy, now Hawkeye shouldn’t come back, so he should run away now.
“Huh? Where are you going?”
However, things didn’t work out. Luffy is obviously a person who pays great attention to his partners. As soon as he turned around, he saw Bucky who was trying to escape on tiptoe. No! Straw hat boy! In short, we have already reached the land, and you can find any swordsman you want to find alone! This uncle will not accompany you!”
“Hey, don’t be like this, didn’t we agree to help you go to Bermel to save your companion? Now let’s find a powerful swordsman companion together~!”
Luffy, who was smiling, obviously showed his talent of being disobedient again. He simply stretched out his hand and grabbed Bucky’s collar and chased after Hawkeye, but he was almost taken over by a staggering one, and there was no way out in terms of strength. The big Bucky rolled his eyes and struggled while screaming angrily: “Damn~~ I can’t breathe~~ Let me go~~!”
“Hey hahaha~ Don’t be embarrassed, I must help you~!”
“Idiot! ~You listen to people anyway~ I don’t want your help~”
As for the dispute between Luffy and Bucky behind him, Hawkeye is naturally too lazy to take care of it. The style of this great swordsman is obviously the same as his own swordsmanship. He belongs to the type with clear and accurate goals, and is definitely not sloppy.
On the way, those swordsmen who were arrogant and arrogant all subconsciously avoided when they passed by Hawkeye. The more advanced the swordsman was, the more clearly the sense of fear was when Hawkeye passed by. Obviously, swordsmen are the type who can judge the difference in strength between the enemy and the other through their aura or even their eyes. This is the instinct of swordsmen.
As the existence that is recognized as the strongest among the swordsmen, there is no one who dares to stop Hawkeye’s advance route, and Luffy who is following behind him, and Bucky who is dragged by Luffy, also instinctively feel it. The surrounding changes, the impetuous air seemed to have condensed, and the eyes of the surrounding swordsmen also focused on the advancing Hawkeye in awe and fear. It wasn’t until everyone came to the door of Yixin Dojo that those eyes stopped a little.
“You… No, you really didn’t come at the right time… These days, the dojo seems to have rejected the challenger… Because, it is said that it is an unqualified challenger.”
A swordsman standing in front of the door looked at the eagle eye in front of him tremblingly. Although the other party did not ask, but when the pair of eagle eyes fell on him, this swordsman was considered a little famous in his own area. , he couldn’t help but tell what he knew.
Obviously, Zoro’s injury caused the challenge of Yixin Dojo to temporarily stop, but the external reasons obviously couldn’t make it evasive. At the entrance of the original Yixin Dojo, a group of swordsmen who were waiting to challenge Sauron had indeed gathered, but at this moment, after the arrival of Hawkeye, these swordsmen almost instinctively retreated from the position of the road, lined up as if to welcome two columns.
“Huh? These people are so polite, they actually know how to give up their seats.”
The simple-minded Luffy naturally looked at the swordsmen who made way out with admiration, while Bucky behind him fiercely covered the opponent’s mouth: “Shut up! Let me see it anyway. The atmosphere!”
Looking up at the huge gatehouse of Yixin Dojo in front of him, Hawkeye nodded slightly, and the great swordsman raised his arm to hold the hilt behind him, and his tone was also cold and sharp: “I see, then. ..I’ll show my qualifications a little bit.”
How exactly should the sword be used to cut through and defeat such a monster?
Sitting cross-legged on the roof of the dojo, Zoro closed his eyes against the sea breeze. The injuries on his body have all healed under the strong physique and good care, but the shadow left in his heart is obviously not so easy to erase.
Snow Walk was placed on the knees of the green algae-headed swordsman. This nimble and good sword undoubtedly made up for the biggest drawback of Sauron’s lack of a sword at present. Moreover, feeling the weight of this sword at close range, Solon made up for it. Takashi was also able to better recall the feeling of the sharp blade slicing through his body in the opponent’s hand when he was fighting with Nami that day, which made him more clear about the battle scene at that time.
There is no doubt that Zoro was sure that he had indeed cut the powerful orange-haired girl in the last confrontation. The wounds on the opponent’s body, and the blood spurting from them could also confirm the fact that the opponent was indeed injured. However, the other party’s wound completely recovered in the next instant, and even the gushing blood returned to the other party’s body.
In short, this phenomenon is actually…
“It did hit, but the damage wasn’t enough. In other words, my current slash is not powerful enough.”
