Chapter 24
[024]: Being stabbed in the back is a shame for a swordsman!
"What!? The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk!?"
"How could such a person come to Donghai! ?"
"I don't know, hey hey hey! He seems to be coming towards us!"
"It’s over. Is he going to take action?"
"This is outrageous, he is the world's greatest swordsman! I didn't expect to see such a person in my lifetime?!"
"Ahhhh! It's that man! How scary!"
"Damn it! Why won't he let us go?"
While everyone was talking about it, Ah Jin's face turned pale, and he squatted down with his head in his hands, looking horrified.
""Hey! Jin, what's wrong with you?"
Sanji asked immediately.
"It's him!"
Ah Jin's face turned pale and he said in horror:
"He was the one who destroyed our 50 warships on the Grand Line!
He chopped a warship to pieces with just one stroke!
I just didn't expect that he would chase us here from the Grand Line!"
"What!?"
Sanji also looked shocked and turned to look at the man who was sitting with his legs crossed and looking carefree.
"Destroy a battleship with just one sword?
There really is such a monster on the Grand Line!"
Zeff on the side smiled slightly and pointed at Luffy who was holding Zoro's shoulder in front of him and said:
"Monsters are not only found on the Grand Line, isn't there one right in front of us?"
After hearing what Zeff said, Sanji and Kin looked in the direction Zeff pointed and were stunned for a moment. Then they looked at each other and saw each other's wry smiles.
Yes, isn't the monster right in front of us?
And it's a guy who has been trying to recruit them to join!
They were discussing fiercely, while Zoro stared at Hawkeye with his eyes fixed. After a while, his tone calmed down:
"I didn't expect to meet the man I set out to sea to find so soon!
Luffy, you won't stop me, right?"
"Ah, I will collect your body for you."
Luffy patted Zoro's shoulder with sympathy.
"Qi Kexiu, if you can't speak, don't speak!"
Zoro rolled his eyes, and his nervous and excited mood was relieved a lot.
Hawkeye, who was sitting on the boat and drifting with the wind, obviously also noticed Zoro's gaze on him, which made him raise his eyebrows.
But his eyes were more on Luffy.
Because he just felt the fluctuation of domineering when he was far away, and it was obviously on this straw hat boy.
He also saw the scene of breaking the boat with one kick from a distance.
This is why he came to take a look.
Of course.
The main reason is because he saw this straw hat.
I have to say, it looks a little familiar.
He is actually very curious about what kind of monster has been bred in the East China Sea, which is known as the weakest of the four seas!
For now, except for the hat, he looks like an ordinary boy.
It seems that he has just realized domineering. It
's just that his age is indeed a little too young.
Just as Hawkeye was thinking about this, he saw the sharp-eyed swordsman just now flashed and came to the half of the wreckage of the battleship not far from his boat.
"Oh?"
Hawkeye became interested and turned to look at Zoro.
Zoro raised his hand to tie his headscarf, looked at Hawkeye and smiled:
"Hawkeye Mihawk.
You are my target when I go out to sea!
I just didn't expect to meet you soon after I went out to sea.
I don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate.
You are free now, right?
Please accept my challenge."
Hawkeye raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly when he heard it:
"If you were a swordsman, you should have been able to sense the difference between us the moment you saw me.
Even though you knew the difference, you still chose to draw your sword against me?
I wonder if you are ignorant or stupid?
Whatever.
As you said, I am free now, so I will play with you."
Swoosh————
In front of everyone's eyes , Hawkeye, who was originally sitting on the boat, also flashed and appeared in front of Zoro.————
Zoro was also very decisive, and instantly drew out three swords.
The pirates who were originally floating on the sea saw Zoro's posture and some of them exclaimed in surprise.
"Three swords style!? That guy's pirate hunter Zoro!!!"
"The pirate hunter is actually from the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"Now it's getting interesting! Three-sword Pirate Hunter Zoro VS the world's greatest swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk!"
"I didn’t expect to see such a big battle in the East China Sea!"
""Hahaha, I'm shaking with excitement now!"
Sanji obviously heard the exclamations of others.
He and Jin were also shocked and looked at Zoro.
Seeing that it was just as they said, they were suddenly shocked.
This Straw Hat Pirates has such a strong captain and such a strong crew?
Sanji remembered what Nami said before.
He realized it belatedly.
Only the pirate hunter Zoro could kill the Black Cat Pirates so easily, right?
So how will this fight go?
Thinking of this, he limped to Luffy's side. Seeing him looking at Hawkeye with a serious face, Sanji couldn't help but wonder:
"You won't stop him?
He's the world's greatest swordsman!
If you're not careful, you'll die!"
Luffy turned to look at Sanji and smiled:
"If I stop Zoro, it might be more painful for him than death."
After saying that, Luffy turned his head and stared into the distance, saying with a smile:
"Zoro's goal is to go out to sea to find Hawkeye, defeat him, and then become the world's greatest swordsman.
For this, he is willing to die.
As a captain, how can I stop my partner from pursuing his dream?"
Sanji���He looked at Luffy's profile, then turned to look at Zoro in the distance. He felt very complicated.
Zoro smiled casually after hearing Hawkeye's words.
"Ah.
I know the gap between us.
But I made an agreement with one of my companions that whoever goes out to sea will aim to defeat you!
I have been working hard with her for these years!
Now is the moment for me to fulfill my promise to her, Hawkeye Mihawk!"
After saying that, Zoro slowly took the posture of Demon Slash.
Hawkeye's eyes flashed with a smile, and he pulled out the fruit knife from his neck, with an innocent expression on his face, and spread his hands and said:
"I am different from those people who use all their strength even if they are fighting a rabbit.
Facing the swordsman of the East Sea, the weakest in the four seas, I only need to use this.
Okay, you can make your move."
I couldn't understand Luffy's anger when I watched the anime, but now he is really angry.
It must be said that Hawkeye's ridicule is really effective.
Zoro shouted with his eyes wide open:
"Very good!
Then don't wait until you die to regret it!
Three Swords Style: Demon Slash————"
Whoosh————
As Zoro finished speaking, he rushed towards Hawkeye. When his three swords were about to chop Hawkeye from different directions, Hawkeye had already appeared in front of Zoro.————
The short fruit knife blocked the direction of Zoro's three knives in an instant, and at one point, Zoro and his three knives were all fixed in place.
What!
Zoro was shocked, but he reacted quickly. He shook his body, held the two knives tightly in both hands, and slashed at Hawkeye's waist horizontally with great speed.
"Two-sword style: Double slash!!!"
Ding!————
But in the next moment, Hawkeye's knife blocked Zoro's two swords again!
Seeing this, Zoro smiled while biting the Wado Ichimonji. Did he get fooled? ?
Swish————
He bit the head of Wado Ichimonji tightly and swung it towards Hawkeye's chest.
Hawkeye saw this and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He shook his right hand holding the fruit knife, and Zoro's two swords were instantly bounced away, and then the fruit knife knocked forward again.————
Zoro's Wado Ichimonji and his head were simultaneously knocked aside by the force, and he took several steps back before he could stabilize his body.
Is it a power gap?
Zoro immediately had an idea in his mind.
Luffy is right, my power is still too weak!
Zoro sighed in his heart, but his fighting spirit was even higher, and he rushed up with his two swords again and chopped wildly and rapidly.
Ding Ding Ding————
First, Hawkeye was forced to retreat a few steps by Zoro's frantic swordplay, and then Hawkeye stabbed Zoro with a knife, forcing him to retreat more than ten meters and hurriedly parry.
But there is no doubt that Zoro was being played around.
Like a baby without resistance!
Seeing this scene, the people watching the fight around broke into cold sweats.
"Hey hey hey!!! This can't be true?"
"Was Zoro, the pirate hunter with three swords style, fooled like this!?"
"Is this the world's number one strength!?"
"How terrible! Such an enemy is so terrible! I will never go to the Grand Line again!!!"
"Is this the strongest in the world!?"
Nami and Usopp both covered their mouths tightly when they saw this scene, their eyes full of worry and fear. Is this the strongest in the world!?
Even Zoro is being fooled!
Is this the strongest in the Grand Line!?
Today they finally understood what Luffy told them before, they are still far away from the world! clang————
After another round of fighting, Zoro was forced back by the knife again. He panted slightly and looked at Hawkeye and said:
"Is this the world's number one power?
Am I still so far away from the world?"
Hawkeye just smiled when he heard this. After the fight just now, he no longer had the idea of mocking this swordsman.
While speaking, Zoro put his two swords behind his back with both hands, stared at Hawkeye and shouted:
"
But no matter how far away the world is, why should I fear it?————"
Whoosh————
The next moment, Zoro used a combination of Razor and Tiger Hunting to rush to Hawkeye and slashed him three times!
Ah!!!
The people watching the battle were shocked by Zoro's sudden outburst. They were a little terrified for a moment.
If these three swords were slashed at them, wouldn't they be dead?!
Ding Ding Ding————
But the next moment, Hawkeye's right hand holding the knife flashed three times like lightning, directly knocking Zoro's three knives away and slashing at Zoro's neck.
Luffy, who was outside the field, saw this scene and his eyes widened, and he subconsciously shouted:
"Zoro!
Back off!!!"
But Zoro had already put his life and death aside at this moment, and he only had one belief in his heart, which was to hit Hawkeye!
He bit the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth and chopped at Hawkeye without retreating!
Hawkeye was also amazed by the crazy fighting spirit in Zoro's eyes, and the knife that was slashing towards his neck turned into a slash on his chest below his neck.
Swish————
The two men crossed each other.
Zoro knelt on one knee, and blood spurted out of his chest!
At this time, Hawkeye's voice sounded behind Zoro:
"Why don't you hide? Do you want to die?"
"I hate the feeling of defeat more than death!"
Hawkeye, who had his back to Zoro, smiled when he heard this.
He found that he admired this young man more and more!
"call————"
Zoro let out a long breath. He didn't look at Luffy, nor did he dare to look at him.
He had just disobeyed the captain's order.
But in this battle, he must fight to the end!
At this time, Hawkeye also turned around and put away the knife.
At the same time, he raised his hand and pulled out the huge black knife behind him, looked at Zoro with an appreciative smile and said:
"Swordsman of the East Sea, you have shown me your fearless courage!
I admire you very much.
To show my respect for you, I will use this supreme and sharp sword, the black sword of the Twelve Works, Night, to end the battle with you!
Young���
Swordsman , tell me your name!————
When everyone heard Hawkeye's words, there was an uproar.
"This is the recognition of the world's greatest swordsman!"
"As expected, he is the Pirate Hunter Zoro!"
"It's a pity that Zoro was no match for Hawkeye after all!"
"So what if he loses? As Hawkeye said, Zoro is still young! Who knows what the future holds?"
"But does Zoro still have a future after this battle?"
"Yes, is there still a future?"
They also didn't know if Zoro still had a future, and many people even hoped that the battle would stop here.
It was rare for the East China Sea to produce such a powerful swordsman, would he die here today?
But Zoro was Zoro after all, he raised his two swords and crossed them vertically, ignored the bleeding wound, stared at Hawkeye and said in a deep voice:
"Roronoa Zoro!"
"Very good, I remember your name!
Then, take it!"
Hawkeye smiled slightly and made a sword-swinging motion!
The two swords in Zoro's hands also spun rapidly, and he leaned forward slightly, staring at Hawkeye and slowly spoke:
"The Secret of the Three Swords Style: Three Thousand Worlds!!!
"————
Hawkeye left a shadow and crossed with Zoro standing there!
————
A breath later, everyone heard two breaking sounds, and at the same time they saw Zoro's two swords break and fall to the ground.————
At the same time, a huge knife wound spurted out a lot of blood from Zoro's chest from his right shoulder to his left abdomen!
But in the eyes of everyone, Zoro seemed not to notice the wound. He just silently put away the only intact Wado Ichimonji and sighed slowly:
"Lost.
I never thought I would lose to a swordsman.
This is the strength of the world's number one. Sure enough, I am still far behind."
Everyone felt unwilling and helpless when they heard Zoro's words, but the next moment Zoro's actions and words stunned everyone.
Zoro slowly turned around, opened his arms, held the Wado Ichimonji in his right hand, looked at Hawkeye and said calmly:
"bring it on"
"What do you mean?"Even Hawkeye was stunned for a moment.
Zoro smiled wildly:
"Being stabbed in the back is a shame for a swordsman!"
Hawkeye was stunned for a moment, then he also smiled and shouted:
"
Great!————
Puff!
Under the horrified gaze of everyone, Hawkeye slashed Zoro's left shoulder to his right abdomen, and blood spurted out instantly!
Zoro's body slowly fell into the sea.
""Zoro!!!!"
At this moment, the angry roars of Nami, Usopp and Luffy echoed.
Their roars also attracted everyone's attention.
At this time, everyone saw that the straw hat boy standing in the front suddenly had steam all over his body, and the whole person turned pink as if he was steamed!
"Second gear!"
