While Gawain was thinking, Hawkeye had already arrived near Gawain.
Seeing him coming, Rayleigh raised his hand slightly and smiled.
"No wonder when I woke up this morning, seabirds kept calling in front of my window.
I thought that I, an old man, was about to be taken to the grave by the god of death, and that the seabirds were here to report the news, which frightened me.
It turns out they were reminding me that I’m going to meet a new friend today, haha!”
After the words fell, Rayleigh sat there and waved to Hawkeye. After a slight silence, Hawkeye nodded slightly to Rayleigh.
Seeing Hawkeye's neither salty nor cool response, Rayleigh didn't say anything, but a smile not far away pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
"You are truly worthy of the famous Mr. Mihawk. Even if you don't follow the etiquette you should have when dealing with the elderly and seniors, I still feel that he is the true character he should be."
After saying that, Yixiao shook his head slightly, then stood up and nodded to Hawkeye again.
"When we first met, I smiled. In the past, I have heard about your strength for a long time. In recent days, I have heard adults keep talking about your abilities. You have indeed lived up to your reputation as the world's greatest swordsman!"
After saying that, Yixiao listened silently to Hawkeye's reaction. When he heard Hawkeye looking at the movement of the staff and sword in his hand with interest, he smiled slightly and then sat down.
As for Hawkeye.
First he snorted in dissatisfaction, and then looked into the eyes with a smile.
He thought for a moment and said.
"If I lost my eyesight, I might not be as strong as you are now.
Gravity swordsmanship? Both gravity and swordsmanship are very good!"
After finishing his words, Hawkeye turned to look at Gion, who was still sitting and resting next to Gawain, and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Rayleigh, Mr. Yixiao, and...Miss Gion!
A pirate, a ronin, and a navy.
Your identity is interesting, and so is your position.
But the most interesting thing... is that you all carry swords!"
Having said this, Hawkeye strode to Gawain's side and sat directly on the empty sofa that Frankie had vacated after he left.
After sitting down, Hawkeye reached out to Gawain and took out a gourd, which was the drinking set Shanks and Gawain had exchanged.
Rubbing the gourd in his hand, Eagle Eye asked expressionlessly.
"Gawain, when you and I first met, I saw these little things.
I didn't ask at that time, but it's just right to use him as a talking point now.
Isn't this the gourd that Shanks hung on his waist back then, so the relationship between you two is really good."
After the words fell, Eagle Eye opened the gourd by himself, then brought the gourd to his mouth and took a big sip of the wine in the gourd.
When he was drinking, Gawain looked at him with a smile. Seeing that he was drinking happily, Gawain simply raised his glass and motioned for everyone to have a drink with him and Hawkeye.
It's just that Eagle Eye put down the gourd very quickly. Before Gawain and others could drink, he dropped the gourd in his hand and said to Gawain with a cold face.
"Gawain, I'm not here to drink with you. Even if I have few friends, I won't be so greedy that I have to ask you for a drink."
Put down your hypocritical cup, the reason why I came here today is to have a thorough talk with you!
you……."
"I'm hypocritical?!!"
Before Hawkeye could finish speaking, Gawain had already interrupted him. Gawain took the cup back to his chest in surprise and said with a wry smile.
"Oh my God, there was a day when I was called hypocritical. It was clear that everything I did was not even half-covered.
Rayleigh, Yixiao, Gion, you guys are here to comment, where do I appear to be hypocritical?
I wanted to win over you, Hawkeye, to join us, but you refused to agree to it at all, so I moved to your home openly and openly, hoping to become a neighbor with you. I even subtly invited you to join us!
Why, is there anything hypocritical about this? I just said it like this.
Is this all fair and aboveboard?
What do you think, Mihawk?"
"I……?!!"
Opposite Gawain, Mihawk's breathing stopped for a moment, and his eyes when he looked at Gawain suddenly became wonderful.
How to describe it?
He has never seen such a shameless person!!!
Indeed, what Gawain did in this matter was not hypocritical at all. He moved to the house next to his home in an open and honest manner, and even let his news appear in the newspapers!
Even in the newspapers, they didn't say anything in Gawain's tone that they had surrendered and joined him!
Everything is everyone’s guess, right?
But... what the fuck?
How could someone say such shameless things so openly?
Is this the quality that a boss must possess???
For a moment, Hawkeye was choked to death, and he was even a little speechless!
What did he say, did he tell Gawain that he was going to move?
Even if he thinks about it with his buttocks, he knows that as long as he moves, Gawain will definitely continue to catch up with him shamelessly, and he will still settle down next to his new home!
At this point, Hawkeye took a deep breath, and then spit it out heavily!
boom!
The wine gourd was pressed hard on the table by Eagle Eye, who said coldly.
"I admit, you bastard is really not hypocritical at all, you are really bad and neat!
I don’t want to argue with you, I just want to ask you, how can you leave me?"
"No, no, no, haha, don't say that, Mihawk."
Facing Mihawk's eyes that were almost burning, Gawain gently waved his hand.
"You see, this sea is so vast, but their nominal ownership belongs to the World Government.
As for you, even if you live on this island now, this is not your island, this is just your temporary residence!
Compared to you, it seems that I am closer to the identity of the owner of this island. If you need it, I can immediately ask for a document to change the ownership of the island.
But I won't do that. I won't use the feelings between our friends to force my friend to leave the sea area where he has lived for a long time, like you.
After all, we are friends, and I have lived in this sea area for more than a month."
After the words fell, Gawain raised the wine glass in his hand and lightly touched the gourd that Hawkeye pressed on the table.
Afterwards, Gawain drank up a cup of strong wine in one gulp.
Putting down the wine glass, while the maid was refilling his glass, Gawain gently shook his head and smiled.
"Mihawk, we are friends, so you should understand me.
In addition, you should know more about your own situation.
You should know that now that I have made a decision, you will never be able to escape from me.
No matter the island you live on now, or the location where you will relocate in the future.
I want to be your neighbor, so no matter where you are, we will be neighbors.
Is not it?"
"Damn!!!"
On the opposite side, Hawkeye raised the gourd in silence, cursed fiercely, and drank the remaining liquor in the gourd.
Then, Eagle Eye threw the empty gourd into Gawain's arms, and then he pulled out his knife!
"You bastard who has seen a ghost, you are so despicable that it's amazing!
Damn it, damn it, draw your sword!!!"
Amidst the shouts, Hawkeye carried the black sword Ye and slashed towards Gawain without any scruples.
He didn't hold any force with his sword, and he was extremely angry. The force of the sword when it fell directly cut off the mast above Gawain's head.
But just when Black Blade Night's sword was about to hit Gawain's head.
warehouse!!!
After a crisp sound, Rayleigh's white hair fluttered in front of Gawain.
Rayleigh was seen holding swords in both hands, blocking Hawkeye's slashing attack.
Beside him, Yixiao and Gion stood up one after another, guarding Gawain vigilantly!
He looked at Rayleigh, who was holding a sword in both hands and constantly competing with himself for strength.
Hawkeye pursed his lips and shouted softly.
“I am already over 70 years old, but my body is still as good as it is today.
Pluto Rayleigh, a man’s heart never grows old!”
"Haha, that's ridiculous. Just taking a sword from you makes my waist hurt!
But it hurts, you have to fight!
If it were back then, it wouldn't be my turn to compete with you, a great young man like you.
Back then, you would have been snatched away by other excited guys!!!"
As he spoke, Rayleigh raised his sword with both hands, and his and Hawkeye's swords suddenly separated.
Then, around Gawain who was sitting upright, one after another dangerous sword energy continued to surge!
Those sword energy destroyed the hull around Gawain to a great extent. This was what Hawkeye really wanted to do.
He was not so angry that he wanted to break up with Gawain and attack Gawain in exchange for big trouble.
At present, he just wants to destroy Gawain's ship and cause enough losses to Gawain to force Gawain to leave!
However, just as Hawkeye continued to fight with Rayleigh to continuously cut the hull, Gawain spoke.
I saw him waving his hands to Yixiao and Gion beside him.
"Don't be so wary, guys.
Let Mr. Rayleigh and Mihawk have a good time. The old man has not fought happily for a long time, and Mihawk can also enjoy the taste of swordsmanship with the legend.
As for us, let's sit down, have a glass of wine, and watch this fight.
Scenes like this are rare!”
After the words fell, Gawain raised his right foot and stepped lightly on the metal deck.
Suddenly, the entire deck flashed with a blue light, and the torn metal around the deck suddenly revealed a water-like shape.
Hawkeye worked extremely seriously, and huge decks were torn apart one after another.
But just a few seconds later, the metals manipulated by electromagnetic reactions returned to their original appearance!
In the distance, after witnessing the fierce battle at the bow of the ship.
The villagers of Windmill Village were simply shocked!
They turned back and looked at their house expectantly!
I saw them whispering to each other quickly and discussing quickly.
"The adult's ability can actually control metal in a wide range, metal like water, what a beautiful scenery!"
"Beauty has no use, let's think about something practical. Should we also build houses with metal?"
"That's right, if our house is made of metal, even if the Black Bird encounters a dangerous battle in the future, our house can be easily repaired by adults."
"Yes, you see, my lord seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even if he was destroyed by Eagle Eye just after repairing it, he still repaired all the patterns carved on the side of the ship!!!"
…
Without raising the issue of whether Wen has obsessive-compulsive disorder, let’s just talk about the officers of the Black Bird at this moment.
After Hawkeye and Rayleigh fought to their heart's content, the cadres scattered all over the place gathered together in an instant, watching the battle between the two men excitedly and greedily.
These people are all quite far away from monsters.
Watching monsters fight at close range will certainly give them a certain boost in their sprint to the monster realm!
Even children who are too far away from the monster level can certainly learn a lot from this kind of battle.
At least, the strong man's gestures can let them know the excitement of the road ahead!
So while watching, Ace couldn't help but pinch Luffy's face.
“Hoo ho ho!
I didn’t expect Mr. Hawkeye to be so strong!
Did you see that my godfather was hung up and beaten by Hawkeye!!!
You know, your godfather is the legendary Pluto Rayleigh!
Being hung up and beaten or something like that is too terrible..."
“You were the one who got f*cking hung up and beaten, bastard!
Just wait until I finish fighting Mihawk and see how I deal with you, kid!!!"
Before Ace could finish speaking, Rayleigh, who was in the middle of the battle, had already yelled angrily at Ace. His words made Hawkeye's sword slow down for a moment...
As for Ace, he was startled, and the force he pinched Luffy's face suddenly became much stronger.
With Luffy's fist punched out in pain, Ace's face suddenly flew into wisps of fire.
And Hawkeye.
As more and more people gathered around him, the black line on his forehead became heavier and heavier.
After continuing to cut more than two thousand swords, Hawkeye finally couldn't stand being looked at like a monkey!!!
Hitting the blade of Rayleigh's staff and sword hard, Hawkeye used both hands to forcefully press Rayleigh and push him from the ship to the side of the ship.
He saw that his back was pressed close to the side of the ship, and a series of deep grooves made by slippers were left on the deck.
Riley grinned and praised excitedly.
"As expected of the famous Mihawk, I have already tasted your sword!
I am indeed old, haha, the only way to survive old age is to accept your fate.
I am really no match for you young people!"
Having said this, Lei Li slashed his sword fiercely, and then used all his strength to push Hei Daoye aside.
Then, he took advantage of this opportunity to withdraw from the battle.
As soon as he came to the side, he quickly greeted Gion.
"Girl Rabbit, I leave it to you, I have to take care of my shoes!
Oops, what the hell, my slippers are so worn that my feet are hot.
Mihawk, this kid, really doesn’t know how to respect his elders, but it’s okay, this way we can have fun chopping!”
After the words fell, Rayleigh returned to the sofa, sat next to Gawain and patted his steaming slippers.
While patting and picking his feet, he said to Gawain and Yixiao.
"Today, I have truly seen your rogue abilities, little Gawain.
You really can compare to Roger back then!
Look at you, the idea of moving to the vicinity of Hawkeye is a stroke of genius. Mountains are not as good as seas, and mountains are as good as seas. It doesn't matter whether Mihawk agrees or not. He who can't get rid of you is of course yours.
This move is similar to Roger's move when he asked Newgate for Oden. It's the kind of idea that once used, others can't resist.
Roger had resigned for Newgate back then, and he had already done that, if Newgate still didn't let him go.
Then our Roger regiment and Whitebeard regiment are completely mortal enemies, haha!"
Amid Rayleigh's laughter, the confrontation between Gion and Hawkeye became more intense.
Gion's swordsmanship is much purer than Rayleigh's, and his swordsmanship is much more radical.
Therefore, even though Hawkeye was unhappy at the bottom of his heart, he became a little excited while licking.
If you can fight with these monsters every day, even if the days are a little noisy, your Black Blade Night will be very happy, right?
