Entries (Hawkeye): Armament Haki (Super Gold), Observation Haki (Super Gold), World's Greatest Swordsman (Super Gold), Conqueror's Haki (Super Gold).
Armament Haki (Super Gold): Haki that can increase its own defense and attack power and can capture the entity of the ability user.
Observation Haki (Super Gold): It can sharpen one's five senses and develop super senses. One can detect the breath and emotional changes of surrounding creatures. Haki can also be used to predict and avoid danger. When trained to Ultimate, one can briefly "see" the future.
The World's Greatest Swordsman (Super Gold): No need to say more! In this sea, anyone who uses a sword is the strongest!
Conqueror's Haki (Super Gold): Fully master Conqueror's Haki-Tangle, and possess the power to be the king of this sea!
This is the strongest person who truly stands at the top of this ocean!
The world's greatest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk, has an entry!
Looking at the golden color, Uno raised the corners of his mouth with a hint of excitement.
There is no doubt that Hawkeye is at the peak of the general level!
Sure enough, this man has completely mastered the power of dominance.
In the original novel, the main reason why Buggy was able to become one of the Four Emperors was because of the man in front of him.
Mihawk the Hawkeye is the only man in the Four Emperors Pirates who is not a Four Emperor but has a bounty higher than that of the Four Emperors themselves.
As for Buggy's so-called second 'royal father,' Crocodile, it can be seen from his later bounty, which was much lower than Hawkeye's, that in the Marines' eyes, his strength was not strong and was far from reaching the level of the top strong men in this sea.
Marine also made it clear that he offered the bounty because he recognized Crocodile's strategy.
Based on his strength alone, even if he made it to the finals, Crocodile wouldn't even get a bounty of 1.9 billion.
It can be said that the reason why the Cross Guild in the original work can be identified as the Four Emperors Pirates is because of Hawkeye, Inrakor Mihawk!
Without a peak emperor-level warrior, no matter how lucky Buggy is, he can't become a Four Emperor.
Coming to this world, he finally met the strongest man in this ocean. At this moment, the Conqueror's Haki in Uno's body was boiling.
"Mihawk!"
Zoro walked quickly to Uno's side, his body trembling slightly.
This is not fear, but excitement.
And nervous.
After all, Zoro at this time had just set out to sea and did not have the magnanimity that he had later in the original book.
Facing the strongest in the world, even if it was his goal to challenge by going out to sea, he couldn't control the nervousness in his heart.
"Uno, I've brought the boat to a safe place."
At this time, Nami was driving a small boat, and Uno jumped onto the boat.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Uno suppressed the boiling Conqueror's Haki in his body, looked at Nami, and smiled.
Nami, as expected, did not choose to leave at this time like in the original novel and face Arlong and his gang alone.
"Asshole! What hatred do we have against you? Why are you attacking us like this?"
At this moment, a member of the Krieg Pirates group broke down and yelled at Hawkeye.
"Just to kill time."
Hawkeye said calmly.
"Don't be ridiculous!"
The minion roared and shot at Hawkeye with both hands.
The black knife behind Hawkeye was suddenly pulled out. It was obviously a heavy blade, but in Hawkeye's hand, it seemed so soft.
"It!"
The two bullets' trajectories were changed instantly.
Uno's eyes narrowed.
Hawkeye's swordsmanship, unlike Zoro's bold and aggressive one, is a combination of hardness and softness.
The bullets without Haki in Hawkeye's hand, which is known as the world's strongest black sword and one of the twelve supreme swords, are as fragile as dust in front of the night.
Especially, this strongest black sword is in the hands of the world's greatest swordsman.
But Hawkeye is able to change the trajectory of the bullet with the sharpest blade without cutting it.
It can be said that Hawkeye has the ultimate control over every part of the sword, which can split mountains and rocks and can also move a thousand pounds with a little effort.
This combination of hardness and softness in swordsmanship is definitely a nightmare for other swordsmen and strong men in close combat.
A swordsman, even a great swordsman, can make terrifying flying slashes, but the real killer move is close combat.
After all, Haki and physical energy are limited, even for the peak emperor. How much Haki and physical energy would be consumed if it were to be entangled in a large-scale flying slash?
This is why Hawkeye's slash in the Summit War was blocked by Diamond Joz.
Because there was no Haki on it at all, it was just a tentative attack from Hawkeye.
And the flying slash is, after all, a long-range attack that is separated from the body, and its power is still not as strong as the power of a swordsman swinging his sword directly.
Seeing Hawkeye show off just a few of his skills was enough to highlight the terrifying nature of his swordsmanship.
Uno pulled Nami behind him, and the red and black in his eyes began to boil faintly.
"I, I clearly aimed!"
The minion's face was full of disbelief.
"He caused the bullet to miss, and he used the blade of his knife to slightly change its trajectory."
Zoro stepped forward and said solemnly.
Then, Zoro walked towards Hawkeye without further ado.
"Hey, who are you?!"
The henchman who shot Hawkeye yelled.
"Crack!"
Zoro held the Wado Ichimonji on his waist in his hand. The three knives on his waist attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Three knives, could it be!"
Some of the Krieg Pirates' minions had cold sweat on their foreheads.
"I have never seen such a soft sword."
Zoro looked at Hawkeye, a beast-like smile on his face.
"A sword with only power has no strength."
Hawkeye turned to look at Zoro and said calmly.
"Was that ship also cut open with this sword?"
Zoro looked at the huge ship that had been completely cut apart.
"Exactly."
Hawkeye spoke calmly.
"I see, he is indeed the strongest.
Zoro smiled excitedly.
"I went out to sea to see you!"
Zoro tied the scarf on his shoulders on his head, representing Zoro's full strength.
"What is the goal?"
Hawkeye became interested.
"The strongest!"
Zoro gave a generous smile.
"Huh, that's stupid."
Hawkeye smiled a little.
"You are free; come and compete with me!"
Wado Ichimonji was unsheathed and pointed at Hawkeye.
"This guy is Roronoa Zoro, the three-sword master!"
A member of the Krieg Pirates group yelled.
"He is Zoro?"
Sanji was a little surprised.
This green algae-head is actually the famous pirate hunter from East Blue?
"Hmm, Pirates Hunter?"
Krieg's eyes are fixed on something.
There are guys like this on that brat's ship.
But the feeling that man gave him was stronger than Zoro.
Krieg looked at Uno, and sweat began to form on his forehead.
What, what's going on?!
Why does it feel like this man is even stronger now than before?
Just standing there, the feeling is terrifying!
Especially when he saw the red and black flashes in the man's eyes from time to time, Krieg subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him.
"How—how is it possible?"
Krieg gasped for breath, veins popping out on his forehead.
He is the overlord of East Blue!
When I saw that man, I unexpectedly had an absurd feeling in my heart that I was not qualified to look directly at that man, as if I was looking up at an existence in the sky.
"Competition? What a pathetic weakling."
Swish!
There was no sign of Hawkeye's movement. The next moment, Hawkeye disappeared from the coffin-shaped ship and appeared in front of Zoro.
"If you were a first-rate swordsman, even without fighting, you would be able to see the difference in strength between you and me.
Should I say that you are brave enough to draw your sword against me, or is it because of your ignorance?"
There was no emotion in Hawkeye's eyes.
"Ignorance and disparity?"
Zoro held the Wado Ichimonji in his hand and smiled like a wild beast.
"Maybe I was a little ignorant before I met Uno, but now I have a rough idea of what is in this ocean.
Luffy, Uno, I'm so sorry; I have to act on my own and compete with this man before going to the Grand Line.
Zoro looked at Uno and Luffy with eyes emitting a beast-like light.
"Just follow the path you have chosen, Zoro."
The corners of Uno's mouth curled up into a Haki arc.
"As the captain, I will support any decision my partners make.
I'm right here watching you, Zoro!"
Luffy yelled.
"Uno? Could it be that 'Uranus' Uno?!"
When Zoro called out the name, everyone's eyes turned to Uno.
"Uranus," Uno?! It's this man!"
Krieg's mouth twitched.
Krieg naturally knew about the super newcomer who appeared in East Blue some time ago.
But I didn't expect to meet you in this way.
I thought he was just a guy with a name but no substance, but when facing this man, I didn't even have the courage to look him in the face.
Damn! He is the overlord of East Blue!
Krieg was breathing heavily.
"Reading?"
Hawkeye looked at Uno with his sharp eyes and felt the momentum that was about to explode from Uno, and his eyes fixed.
Conqueror's Haki.
It's interesting that in this weakest sea, there is a man with this level of Conqueror's Haki.
Then, Hawkeye saw Luffy's hat again.
This is the red-haired one.
So that's how it is. Did the red-haired guy put his left arm on this kid?
There was nothing unusual on Hawkeye's face, but there was a wave of turmoil in his heart.
When Red Hair lost his left arm in East Blue, it caused a big stir in the New World.
It is also a huge regret for Hawkeye. Red Hair is a left-handed swordsman. After losing his left hand, Hawkeye no longer has the fun of practicing swordsmanship with Red Hair.
What Red Hair said at the beginning was that his left arm was pressed against the New Era.
Unexpectedly, the burden fell on such an unprepossessing boy.
but
Looking at the red and black flashing in Uno's eyes, Hawkeye's eyes fixed.
Being recognized by such a Conqueror's Haki owner, and with Red Hair's bet, this kid's future is really worth looking forward to.
Well, for the sake of the red-haired guy, let this swordsman know a little bit about how vast this sea is.
"Dft!"
With Zoro's ugly face, Hawkeye pulled out a small knife that looked like a fruit knife from the cross on his chest.
"I am different from those stupid beasts. I have to use all my strength to hunt a rabbit. I'm sorry, I don't have a knife smaller than this.
Hawkeye frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with taking out such a small knife to deal with Zoro.
"There should be a limit to looking down on others!"
Zoro was completely enraged. With the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth and two knives in his hands, he rushed towards Hawkeye.
"Three Swords Style—Demon Slash!"
"Clang!"
The next moment, Zoro's three-sword style secret technique was easily blocked by Hawkeye using this small knife.
"!!!"
Everyone present, except Uno, was completely stunned.
The pirate's hunter was actually blocked by a knife.
"I can't move! What on earth happened? How is it possible? It's so far away!"
The sweat on the forehead kept dripping.
It was clearly just one move that was blocked, but his body was unable to move.
Zoro, who learned about Haki from Uno, anticipated a battle with Hawkeye. Perhaps, if the opponent used Haki, he might be in a difficult situation.
But I never expected that the gap would be so big!
Forget Haki; the other party just took out a knife.
"The world can't be that far away!"
Zoro roared, his heart completely confused, and launched a crazy attack on Hawkeye.
But these chaotic attacks were all blocked by Hawkeye with the knife, walking in the garden with ease.
Afterwards, Zoro was completely fooled by Hawkeye until he had no strength left.
"Weak, what do you carry? At the end of being strong, what do you desire?"
Hawkeye said calmly as he looked at Zoro, who had no strength left but still swung his sword at him and finally collapsed due to exhaustion.
.....0...
"You actually said that Big Brother is weak! You bastard!"
"That man is our big brother!"
Seeing Zoro being teased like this, Johnny and Joseph couldn't help but rush up to fight Hawkeye.
But Luffy caught him back using the ability of the Rubber Fruit and pinned him to the ground.
"Don't interfere, Johnny, Joseph; just hold on. This is Zoro's battle!"
Luffy also endured it with a grin, veins bulging all over his body.
"Take a good look at this. Men like Johnny, Joseph, and Zoro don't need sympathy."
Uno, the Conqueror's Haki in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"I absolutely cannot lose!"
In Zoro's mind, the agreement with Kuina, as well as the agreement with Luffy, Uno, and others, appeared like a revolving lantern.
Then, the ambition is to become the world's greatest swordsman!
"Tiger Hunt!"
Zoro growled.
"Puff!"
The knife pierced into Zoro's chest.
"Why don't you retreat? Do you want to be stabbed through the heart?"
Hawkeye's eyes narrowed.
He held back, and Zoro only needed to step back to avoid being hurt.
"I don't know either, but I feel that if I step back, all the vows and promises we made will disappear.
Zoro looked at Hawkeye.
"Yes, this is called defeat."
Hawkeye said.
"Then you can't retreat."
Zoro smiled.
"You won't retreat even if you die?"
Hawkeye's gaze narrowed.
"It might be better to die here.
Zoro showed a generous smile.
"How strong is your heart? Can you die compared to defeat?"
Hawkeye's eyes flashed with admiration; he put away the knife and pulled out the black knife. Night.
"Kid, tell me your name."
"Roronoa Zoro!"
Zoro placed the three knives in a ring, with a beast-like smile on his face.
"I will remember this, my long-lost warrior. As a swordsman's etiquette, I will use this strongest black sword to bury you in the sea.
Hawkeye smiled.
"Thank you very much."
Zoro held three swords and launched his strongest attack.
"Three Swords Style Secret—Three Thousand Worlds!"
"Puff!"
Blood spurted, and except for the Wado Ichimonji, the swords in Zoro's hands were directly cut off.
"We lost; such a miserable defeat. Is this the strongest power in the world?"
Zoro silently put away the Wado Ichimonji, turned to Hawkeye, opened his arms, and exposed his chest.
"Do what?"
Hawkeye was a little surprised.
"The scars on your back are a swordsman's shame!"
Zoro laughed.
"Amazing!"
Hawkeye laughed happily.
"Puff!"
The black knife directly cut Zoro's chest open, causing him to fall into the sea.
"Zoro!"
After seeing the result, Luffy could no longer bear it and used the ability of the Rubber Fruit to rush towards Hawkeye but was easily avoided and smashed into the ruins of the Krieg Pirates' ship.
"Don't worry, he's not dead yet."
Hawkeye said.
Seeing Johnny, Joseph jumped into the sea to save Zoro.
Uno jumped up and came in front of Hawkeye.
"Um?"
Hawkeye, his eyes fixed.
"Buzz!"
The red and black in Uno's eyes seemed to become real, flickering faintly in the atmosphere.
A hint of red and black also flashed in Hawkeye's eyes.
Conqueror's Haki, to Conqueror's Haki.
King, against the king!
