Akira Stone didn't answer directly, but asked Marco, "Let me give you an example. If Pops was the one being publicly executed in a few days,
Akira Stone didn't answer directly, but asked Marco, "Let me give you an example. If Pops was the one being publicly executed in a few days, would you come back to storm the execution ground?"
"Bullshit, how could Pops be captured by the Navy? That's impossible." Marco immediately exploded.
Akira Stone rolled his eyes, and said, "I said, it's just an example, an example. I'm just asking, would you come?"
Marco immediately said, "Isn't that nonsense? Of course I would come. Not only would I come, but I would also turn this place upside down, and kill all the Navy."
Akira Stone said, "Isn't that it? The Navy is worried about this, so they're being careful everywhere."
Marco understood Akira Stone's meaning, but he frowned and asked, "Akira Stone, do you think the Roger Pirates will come?"
"They'll come, but not to storm the execution ground, but to send Uncle Roger off." Akira Stone answered very certainly.
Marco was immediately puzzled, and said, "What's the logic in that? Since they're already here, why not take action? Could it be that they're afraid of death? No, that's impossible. Although those bastards in the Roger Pirates aren't as good as our Whitebeard Pirates, they're definitely not cowards. How is it possible that they wouldn't rob the person if they came?"
Akira Stone said, "That's because Uncle Roger wouldn't let them do that. In fact, Uncle Roger has already contracted a serious illness, and doesn't have long to live, so that's why he went to the Marine Headquarters to turn himself in. Otherwise, do you think the Navy would be able to capture Uncle Roger? Since Uncle Roger turned himself in, then that means there must be his reasons, and naturally, his former subordinates wouldn't disobey his orders."
"What? Roger turned himself in? He contracted a serious illness? Akira Stone, how do you know this?"
Upon suddenly hearing this news, Marco's face was filled with shock, because the content that Akira Stone said was really too shocking, the whole world knew that Roger was captured by the Navy, because that's what the Navy announced, if people were to know that there was still such a thing, what a sensation it would cause.
Akira Stone said, "Do you remember the last time Roger came to find Pops? In fact, he had already told Pops and me that time, but Pops told me to keep it a secret, so that's why I didn't tell you, after all, this is Uncle Roger's own secret, he can tell us, but we can't tell others."
Marco said with a serious expression, "Judging from this, things are probably really not that simple, Roger knowing that he was going to die and still turning himself in, he definitely has another purpose."
"When did you become so smart?" Akira Stone looked at Marco in surprise.
Marco said angrily, "What's with that expression?"
Akira Stone smiled, and said, "It's nothing, oh, Marco, look ahead."
Akira Stone, who was teasing Marco, actually called out in surprise, and Marco looked in the direction that Akira Stone was pointing, and saw a young man of medium stature standing by the sea, and was slowly walking in their direction, and what was especially eye-catching was the huge cross-shaped sword that this man was carrying on his back.
"What's wrong, Akira Stone?"
Marco looked at Akira Stone in confusion, this was just a stranger, and he didn't understand why Akira Stone would seem so excited.
That's right, Akira Stone was excited, and he shouted in his heart, "It's really true that you can wear out iron shoes looking for something, and find it effortlessly."
Black short hair, sharp yellow pupils, a black and red patterned shirt, and the huge cross-shaped sword that he carried on his back, all of this indicated this young man's identity.
The future Shichibukai, the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk!
And Hawkeye Mihawk was one of the most important reasons why Akira Stone had tried so hard to come to Loguetown this time, because his Zanpakutō Zangetsu wanted to be unsealed, and it had to have the help of a Supreme Grade Sword, and the Supreme Grade Swords that he knew of were only two, one was Hawkeye's black sword, and the other was the First Generation Kitetsu in the hands of the Five Elders.
The Five Elders' First Generation Kitetsu was naturally out of the question, so then the only thing left was Hawkeye's black sword, Akira Stone knew that Hawkeye would come to Loguetown to watch Roger's execution, so that's why he was eager to come to Loguetown, to see if he could run into Hawkeye, but he hadn't run into him all these days, and he didn't expect to actually bump into him so luckily today.
Akira Stone and Marco saw Hawkeye, and Hawkeye naturally also saw Akira Stone, but he didn't care in the slightest, and only glanced at him lightly, and prepared to walk past the two, but before he could pass the two, Akira Stone spoke up.
"Wait."
There were only three people here in total, so Hawkeye very naturally stopped in his tracks, and looked at Akira Stone in confusion, and asked, "Do we know each other?"
Akira Stone looked at the still very young Hawkeye, and said with a serious expression, "I don't know you, but I know your sword!"
A sharp light flashed in Hawkeye's eyes, and Akira Stone continued, "The world's strongest black sword, one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, the pitch-black blade is a disordered blade with a cross pattern, Black Sword - Yoru!"
Hearing that Akira Stone was actually able to say the specific origin of his black sword, Hawkeye was even more surprised in his heart, because this young man looked to be only a little over ten years old, how could he be so knowledgeable, and he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Marco.
As if seeing through Hawkeye's thoughts, Akira Stone said, "Don't look at him, he doesn't understand at all."
Hawkeye refocused his gaze on Akira Stone, and then saw the simple long sword that Akira Stone was carrying on his back, and said, "To be able to recognize my sword, it seems that you're also a swordsman."
Hawkeye was different from ordinary people, if it was an ordinary person, even if they saw Akira Stone carrying a sword, they wouldn't think that a young man of Akira Stone's age would be a swordsman, but Hawkeye didn't care about this, he could see very clearly, that Akira Stone's sword was very clean, and only a swordsman who valued his weapon very much would treat his sword so seriously.
Akira Stone said, "Just someone who can barely use a sword."
Hearing these words, Hawkeye's interest became even greater, and he said, "There aren't many people who can use a sword, and there aren't many people who treat their sword seriously either."
Akira Stone said with a smile, "Swords have a spirit, only if you treat it seriously, will it treat you seriously!"
Hawkeye's eyes instantly became brighter, and he stared at Akira Stone, and said in a deep voice, "Well said, you're the most interesting swordsman I've ever met, Dracule Mihawk!" Hawkeye took the initiative to say his name.
Akira Stone also said with a smile, "Edward Stone Akira!"
Marco looked at the conversation between Hawkeye and Akira Stone, and was completely confused, he didn't understand what exactly was going on with these two people? Was this how people conversed when they first met? But when Akira Stone said the next sentence, he finally reacted.
Akira Stone said to Hawkeye, "I know that my current strength may not be comparable to yours, but, I still want to have a fight with you, how about it?"
Hawkeye's gaze was tightly fixed on Akira Stone, and he saw a strong fighting spirit in Akira Stone's eyes, it was a fighting spirit to challenge the strong, and this fighting spirit instantly stirred up Hawkeye's fighting spirit as well.
"Good!"
Being challenged by a boy of about ten years old, and actually agreeing, but Hawkeye didn't feel like he was bullying the weak in the slightest, because in his eyes, Akira Stone, who understood swords, wasn't weak, he was just accepting a challenge from a boy who yearned for the path of the sword.
Akira Stone smiled, he challenged Hawkeye, and it wasn't just to come into contact with the Supreme Grade Sword, but he really wanted to test Hawkeye's strength, although Hawkeye hadn't reached the level of the world's greatest swordsman yet, his strength was definitely not weak, so Akira Stone wanted to test, what level his two years of training had reached.
When Marco heard that Akira Stone was actually going to fight this strange swordsman, he was immediately startled, and he quickly said, "Akira Stone, what are you doing? Why are you fighting for no reason? No way, no way."
Akira Stone waved his hand, and said, "Marco, you don't understand this matter, so you shouldn't interfere."
Marco said anxiously, "How can this not work, I promised Pops that I would take care of you, and you're going to fight with someone now, how is it possible that I wouldn't care, if Pops knew, he would definitely..."
Marco, who was anxious, didn't realize that he had said the wrong thing, until he saw the smile that wasn't a smile on Akira Stone's face, did he realize that he had said the wrong thing, and this made him become very embarrassed all of a sudden.
"Akira Stone, this, uh, this, you should just pretend that you didn't hear that." Marco said hesitantly.
