Chapter 166 The era of five emperors fighting for hegemony is not ruthless
The next day, the news that Francis D. Lane became the Fifth King of the Sea was published on the front pages of major newspapers.
The government responded quickly this time, and updated the wanted order for the bloodthirsty swordsman the next day.
Five Emperors Rain, bounty value: 4.525 billion Baileys.
Just by becoming emperor without doing anything bad, the bounty has increased by nearly 300 million beli, and this bounty value is the second in the world, surpassing Charlotte Lingling, and second only to "Beasts" Kaido's 4.6111 million
Bailey.
The gap is actually very small, and the strongest creature cannot surpass Ren by 100 million.
As long as Ren goes out for a walk, does some damage, or destroys a naval branch, it is not difficult to surpass Kaido.
But this is no longer necessary.
If the bounty exceeds 2 billion beli, it has only symbolic meaning.
What's more, Ren has already invited Mihawk to fight. If he wins, the bounty will definitely be increased by several hundred million, and it will not be difficult to reach 5 billion beli.
The impact of the Lionheart Pirates' domination of the sea was far from limited to the New World. This incident caused huge heated discussions and sensations in the first half of the Grand Line, all over the world and even the Red Earth Continent.
Less than three months after Whitebeard's death, two new emperors were born.
Affected by this, for a while, the number of people going to sea as pirates around the world surged, and the situation was chaotic, which also pushed the navy, which is responsible for balancing maritime order, to the forefront.
Two days later, New World, G1 branch.
Marshal Warring States held a stack of documents and walked into the conference room on the top floor with a gloomy expression.
He just came over from Mariejoia yesterday, and before he could even sit down, the Lionheart Pirates over there were vying for the throne of the Five Emperors.
In addition, Nine Snakes were going to war with the beasts, and a lot of tedious tasks fell on his head, making him very busy and in a very bad mood.
Soon after, a group of naval generals including Aokiji, Kizaru, Garp, Crane, and Flying Squirrel came to the conference room.
Among the core members of the Navy, only Akainu is absent, and he remains in the Holy Land.
Marigioa usually has a general stationed there. Originally it was not Akainu's turn to be on duty, but considering that his physical condition had not fully recovered, he was placed there instead of Kizaru.
Seeing everyone arriving, Sengoku said in a deep voice: "You don't need me to say more about the situation of the Lion Heart Pirates, right?"
"In less than three months, he became the Five Emperors. The swordsman Ren is really a freak."
With a smile on his face, Kizaru reached for a few newspapers on the table and glanced at them.
"Who approves and who opposes? Swordsman Ren is domineeringly crowned emperor"
"Unprecedented, from a young pirate to the Five Emperors, the swordsman Renn's three-month miraculous path to dominance!"
"Rampage, the sea has entered the era of "Five Emperors Struggle for Hegemony""
…
"Shocked, the swordsman Ren said that he actually wants to be an admiral!"
When he saw the last newspaper, Kizaru's face twitched and he muttered:
"Listen, the swordsman Ren actually said that he most wants to be an admiral... Haha, I also want to be the pirate king most."
Warring States Period: "..."
This is ridicule.
Garp: "..."
The stinky boy is yin and yang weird.
Peach Rabbit: "..."
Hetui~, she didn't even become a general.
The rest: "..."
It can only be understood as ridicule.
"No, this kid has really become something of a man."
Garp sighed while biting a donut, "In a month at most, he can occupy nine-tenths of the original Whitebeard Pirates' territory, leaving the remaining one-tenth for Margao."
"And he has also formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Germa."
Lieutenant General He said worriedly, "In this way, the Lionheart Pirates will not only supplement the backbone of the combat force, but the lower-level soldiers (cannon fodder) can also be replaced by the clone army of Germa 66. The foundation and strength will be greatly increased, almost
He has become the strongest emperor."
The union of the Lion Group and the Kingdom of Germa has the effect of 1 1>2.
The Kingdom of Germa is commanded by Vinsmoke Gaji. The core is the Vinsmoke family, known as the "murderous clan". Germa 66 is also known as the "war expert" and the evil army.
This army is well-trained, fearless of death, and active as mercenaries all over the world.
The Kingdom of Germa does not lack money, cannon fodder, contacts and business...the only thing it lacks is high-end combat power, especially top-level powerhouses.
What the Lionheart Pirates lack most is top-level combat power, and they have three or four.
Similarly, the Lionheart Pirates lack backbone elites and are still a little short of cannon fodder at the bottom, but the Germa Kingdom has plenty of these two things.
The two are almost completely complementary, and once combined, they will surely take off quickly.
"Indeed, after forming an alliance with the Germa Kingdom, the strength of the Lionheart Pirates has surpassed that of the Bigmom Pirates and the Beast Pirates. It's amazing. I feel like every step Ren takes is so wonderful."
Garp praised.
Defeated Tianyaksha (debuted, became famous), the Tianlong Incident (became famous, established power), invaded Impel Down City (finding the team), participated in the top war (obtained the title of the strongest, shocked the world), calculated against the CP organization (cleared the stumbling blocks,
Obtain resources), the Five Emperors (establish a foothold in the new world), and the strongest overlord (allied with the Kingdom of Germa, greatly increasing the strength of the foundation).
Linked together, it’s a wonderful road to dominance.
Three months later, the situation has become a success.
Now the navy is fully entering the new world, and there is nothing they can do against Ren. He is already the strongest emperor on the sea.
"There are actually five big pirates who dominate the world! It's really terrible."
Ghost Spider was not able to laugh like Garp, and said with a livid face, "No wonder the people are ridiculing the navy. This situation simply embarrasses justice!"
No matter what, the navy cannot absolve itself of the blame for the rotten situation at sea.
In the past few days, public opinion has been extremely unfriendly to the navy, and they almost pointed their noses at them and said they were nothing but losers.
"Fortunately, we took the opportunity to announce the world recruitment plan, and Kate's killing of Bai II some time ago shocked many pirates, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Aoki said lazily.
"Even so, the number of people going to sea as pirates from various places has doubled this month." Lieutenant General He sighed.
The emergence of two emperors in a row had an extremely bad impact, as if we were back in the Rocks era.
Young people are easily deceived.
The swordsman Renn rose like a comet, making great progress all the way, and was crowned emperor. In just a few months, he won fame, power, money, beauties and everything that many people wanted. He can be called an "inspirational model" (opposite side)
Textbook), which has really inspired many ambitious and ambitious young people.
Thinking of the recent surge in the number of pirates, the faces of the navy generals didn't look good.
"This is indeed our incompetence."
Sengoku said in a deep voice, "Unfortunately, the navy has no way to target the Lionheart Pirates for the time being. Fortunately, Ren has made an appointment with Hawkeye to compete for the throne of the world's greatest swordsman. There should be no major battles in the next period of time.
action."
With Mihawk's personality, he would never refuse an invitation to a duel like this.
In this way, Renne will have to take a break for a while in order to prepare for the war, right?
congratulations……
"Do you think Hawkeye can win?"
Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel was a swordsman, and he was obviously very interested in the matter of Hawkeye vs. the bloodthirsty swordsman, so he asked curiously.
"I think it's good to be alive." Qingzhi yawned.
"That's weird, Mihawk will definitely win!"
Taotu snorted softly, supported Hawkeye, and said, "I hope Mihawk can chop off Ren's dog's head. This can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."
Qing Pheasant: "..."
He was curious about what Ren did to Qu Yuan when they were on the Chambord Islands to make her so hostile to him.
Garp chewed the donut and glanced at Qu Yuan: "Don't be ridiculous, even if you want to kill Kid Lane, Roger can't even be revived."
Peach Rabbit: "..."
(?_?), little Karp, how can you turn your elbows outward?
Kizaru smiled wretchedly and said: "Do you know, the casino in the Shampoo Islands has opened, Renne's odds of winning are 1.4, and Mihawk's odds are 2...
To be honest, I have already spent 50 million Pele’s pension to beat Rennes to win.”
Peach Rabbit:(?_?)
Qingzhi, who was dozing, perked up when he heard this and said, "Ah Lala, it turns out that the casino has already opened. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I plan to spend all my deposits to beat Ren to win."
Kizaru spread his hands: "You didn't even ask me."
Everyone: "..."
(￣△￣；)
"That's enough! How is it appropriate to talk about this in a meeting?!"
Seeing the two gangsters Ao Pheasant and Yellow Monkey discussing betting in the casino as if no one else was around, the Warring States Marshal slapped the table in anger and reprimanded.
I have been lazy paddling all day, and I get excited when I mention this.
Garp muttered: "Don't be so old-fashioned, Warring States, I quickly beat Rennes for 10 million Baileys last night... Why not make money if you have money?"
Everyone: "..."
(ー_ー)!! It makes sense and makes people speechless.
Compared to other forces, the Navy Headquarters knows the horror of the bloodthirsty swordsman best. After all, this is precious information that Sakaski almost sacrificed his life for.
Therefore, not many people are optimistic about Eagle Eye.
"Shut up! Eat your donut!"
Warring States gave the veteran Garp a hard look and scolded him.
There was one thing he didn't say. He secretly went to the casino two days ago to beat Renne to win, and he beat him quite a bit...
Gambling is not illegal in most places in the world. As long as there is no problem with the source of funds, the navy will not care about it and the navy can gamble by itself.
Of course, this kind of thing is definitely not advocated.
Hina stood behind Artoria and said with a smile: "Kate, how much did you press?"
Artoria: "..."
(￢_￢;), sorry, she doesn’t gamble.
The main reason is that Bailey means nothing to her. As the daughter of God, her monthly pocket money is 200 million Bailey. In this regard, the Five Old Stars are very generous.
Please note that she is already 27 years old and has been receiving pocket money since she was 5 years old. 22x12x2 = 52.8 billion beli... After excluding the used ones, about 50 billion is left.
The daughter of God is more noble than ordinary princesses and queens, and she is truly a super rich woman.
To be honest, it means that Ren is not willing to eat soft food, otherwise he would not have to blackmail Brother Ming, nor would he join forces with the revolutionary army to loot CP institutions. He would just call sister a few times and everything would be covered.
She can also enter the treasure house of the Celestial Dragon clan, which means she does not need to eat Devil Fruits. Otherwise, she can get powerful phantom beasts that are comparable to the fish fruit, phantom beast species, and blue dragon forms.
Bailong: [On my side, there are many marines beating you to win in the casino.]
Renn: [Really? Thanks to the old iron brush for the rocket.]
Bailong: "..."
Seeing that Artoria seemed to be in a daze, Hina reminded, "You haven't pressed it yet, have you? Remember to hurry up."
Artoria shook her head: "I'm not short of money. I already have so much that I can never spend it all."
She wanted to give all her property to Ren, but he was stubborn and refused.
Warring States Period: "..."
Qing Pheasant: "..."
Kizaru: "..."
In the conference room, Garp, Peach Rabbit, Crane, Flying Squirrel, Ghost Spider and others all fell silent: "..."
The real big guys are here, and they don’t even bother to make money.
"Okay, it's a foregone conclusion that Ren will become the Five Emperors. Let's put his affairs aside for now. Next, we have to deal with the Nine Snakes Pirates' affairs."
The Warring States Marshal straightened the dozens of crooked buildings, picked up a confidential document, and added with a solemn expression, "According to the information from our informant, Nine Snakes' troops have been assembled.
Including the base camp Amazon Lily, Sky Island, the underground dark world, and strongholds around the world...the total number is about 47,000 people and 43 battleships."
This does not include the eight islands they control in the new world.
Such a terrifying force surprised everyone.
"Ah Lala, has she hidden it so deeply before?" Qing Zhi looked surprised.
This is almost equivalent to the Whitebeard Pirates! In the past few years, when Kuja attacked Wano Country, it had barely tens of thousands of troops, so it was impossible to defeat them.
Now it seems that the attack on Wano in those years was more like a test and a training exercise, and now it is just a matter of time and effort.
"Please take a look at these documents." The Warring States Marshal's expression turned ugly as he handed out a stack of documents.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Nine Snakes Pirates (latest information):
Captain, Boya Anna Hancock... Bounty: 4 billion 12 million beli.
Top cadre 1, Boya Sandasonia, the second of the three Gorgon sisters, 28 years old, a user with natural thunder fruit ability, bounty value: 1.35 billion beli.
Top cadre 2, Boya Marigorud, 26 years old, the third of the three Gorgon sisters, natural type, Snow Fruit, bounty value: 927 million beli.
Top cadre 3, suspected "Golden Emperor" Gil Tezzolo.
List of ordinary cadres (personal details omitted): Gentian (sniper, natural swamp fruit), Cosmos (navigator, cat fruit and black cat form), Daisy (helmsman), Purple Fanhua (chef),
Lan (doctor), Platycodon (musician)...
Special cadre: Groliosa (former and former emperor of Amazon Lily)
Affiliated pirate group: The Broken Monk Pirates ("Monk" Urgi)
Total number of people: about 47,000
………
There is a lot of information. Although it has not touched the core, this information about the Nine Snakes Pirates has also shocked the attention of many naval generals.
Only then did they realize what kind of behemoth it was.
Amazon·Lily+Sky Island+Underworld, the sphere of influence almost covers the sea, land and air, and it can be said that the army is strong.
"This, I feel like the second Whitebeard." Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel said in shock.
If the battle were to be fought by the Nine Snakes Pirates, the Navy might have a harder time fighting it, because the Pirate Empress is only 29 years old and in her prime, unlike Whitebeard, who is already terminally ill and unable to fight a protracted war.
"Damn it! What kind of monster has the King's Shichibukai system cultivated over the years?!" Ghost Spider was a little angry.
The empress imitated Tenyaksha to a certain extent in running her daughter's kingdom and the power network under her command. Without the legal identity of the Shichibukai, she would never have been able to allow a country with poor resources in the Windless Zone to expand in power within ten years.
To this point.
The original Daughters Island was a second-rate force at best.
But now the government has shot itself in the foot and is really feeding a tiger into trouble.
The most annoying thing is that the navy did not enjoy the benefits of the Shichibukai system very much, but the disadvantages made them almost happy...
Kizaru flipped through the information, his eyes under the brown glasses were a little solemn, and he curled his lips and said:
"It's so scary, Empress. After reading this information, I feel that the strongest creature may die this year."
Everyone: "..."
Indeed, on paper, Nine Snakes is too strong.
On the contrary, none of the beasts are so strong.
The Navy also has some knowledge of the situation of the Beast Pirates. They should have about 20,000 troops.
(Originally, at the fire festival banquet in the "Wano Country Chapter", Kaido turned his back and killed the black charcoal snake, and then took advantage of the situation to attend the banquet. The 5,000 ninja troops who were originally affiliated with Orochi's Wano army "Otei Fanzu" were included in the banquet.
5,000 people and the samurai force of the "Mikai-gumi" were brought under his command. At that time, the Beast Pirates only had a total of 30,000 people.)
During this time, the Beast Pirates were recruiting troops frantically on Rubble Island, and they didn't refuse anyone who came. Maybe they sensed something.
After all, people from all over the world have been gathering together on the island during this period to rectify the situation. There is too much movement, and some informants may be mixed in, and some information will naturally be leaked.
No wonder Kaido, the Hyakushou, has been so honest recently and hasn't had any trouble at sea.
According to his temper in the past, he has committed suicide and caused destruction everywhere. It seems that he was pushed to a certain extent this time.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet!"
Warring States looked around and said seriously, "The current situation at sea is very chaotic and dangerous. The Kuji Pirates' large fleet will arrive in the New World from the Windless Zone in half a month.
As expected, Nine Snakes will use its eight islands as a springboard to attack Wano Country.
Although it is a good thing for pirates to fight each other, the possibility of the Empress taking action against the navy cannot be ruled out, so the naval base in the New World must be guarded...
In addition, in order to prevent the complete collapse of order, it is best not to let the other five emperors participate in the war, at least to understand their movements..."
This meeting lasted for a long time.
It's not that Warring States is verbose, it's mainly that there are too many things to do. He needs to explain the situation and arrange people to perform their duties.
The final result is as follows.
During the Warring States Period, Garp was in charge of the G1 branch.
Kizaru + Peach Rabbit, sit in the G5 branch of the Navy.
Lieutenant Generals Aoki and He were responsible for picking up and transporting the king attending the World Conference, and most of the lieutenant generals and major generals followed their arrangements.
The tea dolphins inhabit the Chambord Islands.
Akainu is stationed at the holy land of Mariejoia.
Garp monitors the Bigmom Pirates from a distance.
Artoria has the heaviest task. She is assigned to monitor the movements of the Lionheart Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates at the same time.
The task is handed down and the meeting ends.
Warring States exhaled a breath, stopped Bailong who was about to leave, and apologized:
"Kate, I'm sorry that I've given you the most arduous task again."
You can imagine how difficult it is to monitor and alert two sea emperors at the same time. This is simply not something that any general can do.
Unfortunately, the Navy is currently very busy and cannot spare any manpower to help Bai Long.
"Mr. Sengoku, you are really good at calling people." Kizaru, who had not yet left the conference room, turned around and teased.
Sengoku looked at him coldly: "Oh, how about you replace Kate and monitor those two pirate groups."
"Haha... I have something to do, so I have to leave first."
Kizaru grabbed the navy cloak hanging on the back of the chair and fled.
Monitoring two emperors at the same time, are you kidding me?
Even if only one of the Lion Heart Pirates had any changes, he wouldn't be able to deal with it. No one except Hakuryuu could do this.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's okay, Mr. Warring States, leave it to me."
Artoria didn't have any objections. With her eyesight (A + clairvoyance), she could just drive the warship to the sea area between Hongye Island and the red-haired pirates, and she wouldn't be overwhelmed.
As for someone attacking her...
Wouldn't that be better?
If left idle for too long, the holy sword will rust.
………
The Grand Line, Kraikana Island.
This is the ruins of the Sikeali Kingdom. It was once a place full of prosperity and wealth, but now it has become a ruin.
On the ruins of the island stands a huge castle.
The Ghost Castle, its former name and glory has been buried in the long river of history. It is always surrounded by fog and thunderclouds, which is strange and deep.
Perona, who was wearing a Gothic dress and had a graceful figure, was holding a few newspapers in her hands, with a little panic on her pretty face. She wandered hesitantly in the dim apse and looked at the huge courtyard.
Should she tell the man the news from the sea?
What will happen if he goes?
Even if it means concealing it, how long can it be concealed? She has withheld newspapers for three days...
The courtyard, or the forest outside the castle would also work.
Zoro was standing in the courtyard wearing a blue and purple coat, holding the Third Generation Ghost and the Black Sword Shusui, looking at the man opposite with a solemn expression.
"So, are you confident today?"
Mihawk looked calm, with a hint of expectation in his eagle-like eyes.
"Yeah! I'll do my best."
Said quite passionately, Zoro stepped forward and the floor tiles under his feet trembled. He took one step and rushed forward like a stream of light.
Whoosh~
Two long rows of small wind curlers were raised from the ground, and he rushed straight towards Eagle Eye.
Tens of meters later, Zoro slashed horizontally with his sword. His movements were brisk but very forceful, and two rays of snowy cold light suddenly appeared!
Whoosh!
Mihawk held a wooden sword and took action at will. The weapon-colored blade struck Sauron's eye socket first and then like a poisonous snake spitting a message!
The attack is tricky. If he moves forward blindly, he will be hit first.
The green algae head braked immediately, his body was extremely light, and as fast as lightning, he landed on the ground, circled around the side of Hawkeye, and rotated and slashed horizontally.
clang!
The sharp blade of Demon Sword Oni Te struck at Mihawk's raised wooden sword to block it. Sparks burst out, but the rich armament and domineering energy wrapped around the wooden sword, preventing it from being cut off.
Seeing this, Sauron raised his sword, and the blue sword energy spread from bottom to top like a blue wave of the ocean. With a swish sound, a ten-meter-long crack opened on the ground first.
Eagle Eye remained calm, swung his wooden sword, and easily dispersed the chop wave with one blow.
"Damn it!" Zoro gritted his teeth. Seeing that he could not force the other party to make a real move, the fighting spirit in his heart was aroused.
He must not act so ugly.
"Ho!"
He grasped the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, biting Hedao Yizi, took a step forward, and the three swords flowed out in unison.
In an instant, the bright sword lights kept overlapping and intertwined into a howling storm heading towards the eagle eye, tearing and cutting many cracks along the way!
If you look closely, you will see that this attack is different from his previous Three Thousand Worlds, with shadows of Peach and Rabbit Wind Waltz.
Apparently, she left a deep impression on him when she faced off against Ren in the Chambord Islands.
boom!
At this time, Eagle Eye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he swung his sword to strike out a huge green sword energy. The majestic slash swept through thousands of troops, smashing the countless sword lights into strong winds with one blow!
"Yes, it has its own characteristics, and it has successfully incorporated some of the true meaning of the female navy."
This blow merged countless sword energy into the wind, whistling endlessly with the wind, and it was difficult for him to resolve it without flying and slashing.
After all, what he held in his hand was not the black sword-Ye, but a wooden sword.
"It's still far behind. Even that woman can't defeat the bloodthirsty swordsman." Zoro exhaled a few breaths of turbid air, not feeling very satisfied.
He was on the Chambord Islands, but he had seen how Ren suppressed Peach and Rabbit throughout the fight. This attack was as fragile as paper in front of a real top swordsman.
After defeating the human imitator on Kraikana Island, he studied with Hawkeye for two months, and his strength improved rapidly.
But the more he studied, the more he discovered how powerful that bloodthirsty swordsman was.
Even Taotu, who seemed to him to be extremely skilled in swordsmanship, could barely compete with his opponent. If they really fought, they would lose miserably.
"It seems that Ren left a deep impression on you at that time." Hawkeye raised his eyebrows.
Before Zoro could reply, Princess Mononoke Perona, wearing a Gothic dress and a high hat, walked over with a gloomy expression.
"Look..." She lowered her head slightly and handed the newspaper to Hawkeye.
"Well, it seems like he can't wait any longer... Hahahaha." Holding the newspaper, Mihawk, who had always been serious about his words, suddenly laughed excitedly and looked very happy.
This is very different from his usual image.
For some reason, seeing him like this, Perona felt a little irritated and scolded:
"Why are you laughing! Facing such a monster, even if you are the world's greatest swordsman, you may lose or die."
Hawkeye was still very happy and said: "Wouldn't that be better?"
Perona: "..."
(?_?)
To be honest, she couldn't understand this idea. Her former boss, Moonlight Moria, was extremely resistant to loss and death.
Zoro noticed something and hurriedly came over and looked at the newspaper in Hawkeye's hand.
"The Bloodthirsty Swordsman VS Hawkeye!"
"Shocked, the swordsman Lane openly invites Hawkeye to fight. The battle for the world's strongest swordsman is about to begin!"
"The strongest versus the strongest, Mihawk VS Renn, who can stand at the top of swordsmanship? Many swordsmen expressed their views on this battle"
The last newspaper is from the World Economic News Service. Compared with the previous two, it has more interviews with many well-known swordsmen.
Taotu: Although many people are more optimistic about Ren, I believe Mihawk will defend his throne as the strongest swordsman.
Foil: There is no doubt that it is a fight between the dragon and the tiger. Personally, I think Renn has a better chance of winning.
Ame no Shiru: There is nothing to say. Victory, defeat, life and death will be decided soon.
Pluto Rayleigh: It’s rare that you have found a bad old man like me. Let’s just say that no matter who wins this time, it will become a new myth after Frost Moon Ryoma.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Red Hair: No evaluation.
…
"Are you going to... duel?"
Zoro looked surprised, his heart was full of excitement, and he couldn't wait to witness this peak battle immediately.
But soon, he felt a little more worried. Looking at Mihawk, whose eyes seemed to be burning with fire and could not hide his excitement, he took a deep breath and stopped talking.
"Zoron, being indecisive is not the style of a swordsman."
"But……"
"It's nothing but, in less than two months, I will try my best to teach you everything I have learned."
"..."
Zoro was silent.
This sounds a bit ominous.
In terms of overall strength, the Demon King is undoubtedly stronger. He is not just a swordsman. He has earned the title of "the strongest in the world" in just two months.
No matter how much time passes, he can still remember the scene of him holding a blue lightsaber, laughing wildly, and beating the general Kizaru so hard that he couldn't even lift his head...
Even if this duel will definitely be a battle between swordsmen, Mihawk will not be able to take advantage.
This can actually be seen from the attitudes of other great swordsmen, who are more or less biased towards bloodthirsty swordsmen, even Peach Rabbit, who seems to support Hawkeye, is no exception.
Hawkeye doesn't care about the evaluations of other swordsmen. Even he himself thinks that the other swordsman is stronger in overall strength, but so what?
He has been waiting for this day for a long time - waiting for an opponent stronger than the red hair.
Going beyond his own limits and seeing the scenery from higher places has always been his pursuit.
Moreover, being strong does not mean winning.
Throughout the ages, there are many examples of the weak defeating the strong, overcoming the odds, and fighting back with all their might.
"It's... such a joy."
Mihawk suppressed his smile and walked towards the dock area of Kraikana Island with the newspaper.
He wanted to go out and find a newspaper on a nearby island to respond to the bloodthirsty swordsman's invitation to fight.
In fact, even if Ren didn't ask him for a duel, he would still go to him.
There has been no movement in the past few months. Firstly, he knew that the other party wanted to occupy territory and become emperor during this period and was very busy. Secondly, he wanted to teach Sauron what he had learned so that he could have a successor and he could put down everything and risk his life. It’s a battle…
Looking at his back as he left happily, Zoro and Perona looked at each other.
Perona was a little anxious: "Lu Chi, you idiot! What are you doing standing around here? Stop him quickly."
Zoro shook his head: "I can't stop it. I can understand this joy. This is how a man, a swordsman, exists!"
Perona rolled her eyes and scolded:
"Don't say such silly things, are you a child? Are you stupid to fight others for the title of the strongest swordsman?
To tell you the truth, he was too troublesome and had no intention of accepting any apprentices. He only wanted to duel with the bloodthirsty swordsman and thought he might die, so he asked you to become his disciple and leave some inheritance.
"
Sauron: "..."
I see.
No wonder Hawkeye became more enthusiastic towards him after returning from Malinfando.
Butterfly Effect, this time Hawkeye took the initiative to recruit a disciple, without waiting for Sauron to kneel down, but the test was still to defeat the human imitator.
Perona urged: "Go and stop him quickly. Do you want your teacher to die?"
"..."
Zoro was a little silent.
Some things cannot be viewed solely from the perspective of life and death. Mihawk has almost no desires or demands. If he is not allowed to keep his appointment, it will be worse than death.
"Sorry, I'm afraid that can't be done. If I stop him, he will be very disappointed."
Perona: "..."
(????)
Men, swordsmen, hehe, what are they, she can't understand.
"By the way, it's time to eat." Zoro withdrew his gaze, forced himself not to think about those things, and said while holding his stomach.
Perona reached out and grabbed his ears hard, with a look of disgust on her face: "What are you eating? You are still thinking about eating at this time!"
"Let go, stop being so verbose, it's really annoying."
"So what if you're verbose? What's your attitude? If you have the ability, just cook for yourself."
"I won't."
"You deserve to starve to death, you idiot, idiot, green algae head, idiot!"
"...Stupid woman, don't force me to chop you."
"Hey, you still dare to grin and look at my negative ghost!"
"Oh, an ungrateful white-eyed wolf like me, I might as well commit suicide by wiping my neck with a knife. Living is a waste of food."
"Hahahaha……"
"Asshole, what are you doing?!"
"The ghost of negativity!"
"Ah, I'm sorry for being a human being. Please treat me like a worthless bug."
…
Hawkeye looked back at the man and woman who were fighting and smiled slightly.
"The abandoned castle, the lost country... After so many years, I began to miss this place."
It's not that I'm heartless, it's not that I have no desires or desires, it's just that I have a higher pursuit in my heart.
