It turned out that in the previous clash of slashes, Akira Stone's Getsuga Tenshō was superior. The Getsuga Tenshō ultimately defeated Hawkeye's slash, forcing Hawkeye back, and even almost injuring Hawkeye.
However, Akira Stone still lost due to lack of stamina. Although the Getsuga Tenshō defeated Hawkeye's slash, Akira Stone was unable to unleash a second one. However, Hawkeye was still able to continue fighting, so Akira Stone lost this battle.
Hawkeye stared at Akira Stone and said, "Edward Stone Akira, I've remembered your name. I've benefited greatly from fighting you. Next, I will advance towards becoming the world's greatest swordsman."
Akira Stone smiled and said, "Good, then you wait for me in that position."
One was a youth who was not yet twenty years old, and the other was a ten-year-old boy. The two of them were so openly discussing the future, as if the title of world's greatest swordsman was something that was already in their grasp.
Hawkeye said, "I will wait for you in that position."
Akira Stone said, "Then you have to hurry, otherwise, I might reach that position faster than you."
Hawkeye's eyes flashed. He did indeed recognize Akira Stone, but he had even more confidence in himself.
"You're also here to watch the execution of 'Pirate King' Roger, right?" Akira Stone suddenly asked Hawkeye.
Hawkeye said, "Yes."
Akira Stone suddenly said, "Since that's the case, are you interested in playing a big game with me?"
"Hmm?" Hawkeye looked at Akira Stone in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
Akira Stone's expression suddenly became very arrogant. He pushed away Marco's support and said seriously to Hawkeye, "Let's make a scene, let us make a scene in Loguetown."
Hawkeye and Marco were both staring at Akira Stone with incredible gazes. Although they hadn't finished listening to what Akira Stone wanted to say, they could see from Akira Stone's crazy expression that the scene he was talking about was definitely an extremely crazy thing. And what was going to happen in Loguetown recently? Did they even need to think about it?
Marco said urgently, "Akira, you're crazy. Have you forgotten what Dad told you? If you want to die, you can't do it like this, ah? Quickly dispel your unrealistic thoughts."
Akira Stone tilted his head and asked, "Marco, do you know what I'm thinking? Do you think I'm going to save Uncle Roger?"
Marco was stunned and asked, "Isn't that it?"
Akira Stone shook his head and said, "You really guessed wrong. Do you still remember what I told you? Uncle Roger is going to die. For him, dying in Loguetown is his last wish. I will follow his wishes, so I won't be thinking about robbing the execution ground."
This time, Marco was confused. He asked, "You don't want to save Roger, then how do you want to make a scene?"
Marco didn't think that Akira Stone was joking, because Akira Stone was definitely a person who kept his word. If he said he was going to make a scene, then he definitely wouldn't give up halfway.
Hawkeye, who was on the side, listened to their conversation, and gradually understood the identities of the two. On the sea, they knew Roger, and were also quite familiar with him. They had also mentioned Dad just now. Without a doubt, these two were members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"You are from the Whitebeard Pirates?" Hawkeye directly asked his doubts.
Akira Stone smiled and said, "That's right, we are from the Whitebeard Pirates, and we also know Roger. He even taught me in the past."
A trace of relief flashed in Hawkeye's eyes. According to what Akira Stone said, his identity was really not simple. To be recognized by both Roger and Whitebeard, it was no wonder that he could have such strength and spirit at such a young age.
"What do you want to do?"
Knowing Akira Stone's identity and origin, and also recognizing Akira Stone, Hawkeye couldn't help but become interested in Akira Stone's words. He was also a daring person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that he wanted to become the world's greatest swordsman. In his eyes, everything else was not important. What was important was his way of the sword. Other things were just actions based on interest.
Akira Stone revealed a wicked smile and said, "Isn't the Navy trying to use the execution of the 'Pirate King' to intimidate us pirates? Then we will retaliate and let the Navy know how powerful we pirates are."
Hawkeye and Marco both understood Akira Stone's meaning. Marco had been shocked speechless by Akira Stone's madness. On the other hand, Hawkeye, who was meeting Akira Stone for the first time, didn't have too much surprise. He only had more interest.
Marco said, "That's too crazy. It's really too crazy. I don't think we can bring any threat to the Navy with just a few of us. Akira, you're thinking too wishfully."
Akira Stone smiled and said, "Who said it's just a few of us?"
Marco asked in confusion, "Who else do you know?"
"The Roger Pirates!"
Akira Stone said word by word, his eyes full of confidence. Although he wasn't familiar with the Roger Pirates, and also knew that the Roger Pirates wouldn't save Roger, he believed that the members of the Roger Pirates would definitely not refuse his proposal. Anyway, they were going to retire in the end. Before the end, it was believed that they would still be willing to make a sensation in the world one last time.
Hawkeye put away the black sword and said, "I understand. I will participate at that time. However, I will not fight to the death with the Navy."
Akira Stone said, "That's for sure. I didn't prepare to do that either."
Hawkeye quickly left, leaving only Akira Stone and Marco behind. Akira Stone had a lot of blood on his body, but there weren't many real wounds. He was just exhausted and very weak. However, this battle with Hawkeye had given him great benefits.
He had already seen that Hawkeye's current strength was about the same as Vista, but he was still far from the path to becoming the world's greatest swordsman.
After Hawkeye left, Marco said to Akira Stone with a solemn expression, "Akira, what you said just now was true?"
Akira Stone nodded and said, "Of course. Did you think I had the time to talk nonsense here?"
Marco's expression was very serious, and said, "I really wanted you to be talking nonsense, but you kid, sigh, forget it, I can't stop you anyway, and it's impossible to knock you out and take you away. Do whatever you want."
His relationship with Akira Stone could be said to be extremely close. Although he thought that what Akira Stone said was very crazy, he actually had a feeling of anticipation in his heart, an equally crazy anticipation.
Marco smiled wryly. Even he had been persuaded by Akira Stone. What qualifications did he have to advise Akira Stone?
However, he still asked with some worry, "Akira, even if you want to do that, you don't need to say it so blatantly, right? Is that guy named Dracule Mihawk really trustworthy? After all, we're only meeting him for the first time. If he reports us to the Navy, wouldn't that be?"
Chapter 0036: Finding the Roger Pirates
Akira Stone smiled and said, "Don't worry, if that guy is going to report us, then the world would be full of people who snitch. He's the future world's greatest swordsman. He wouldn't do such a thing."
Marco looked at Akira Stone strangely and said, "I really don't know what you're thinking? You actually said that he would be the world's greatest swordsman? I admit that he's indeed very strong, but saying that is too much, right?"
Akira Stone said, "It's not too much. How could someone who can defeat me be a simple person?"
"Pfft!"
Marco almost couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. What kind of theory was this? There were countless people on this sea who could defeat you, right? A handful of them could be found everywhere.
If people who could defeat you could all become the world's greatest, then wouldn't they all be the world's greatest? However, Marco couldn't say anything to refute. He was powerless to say anything more.
Of course, although Akira Stone's words were a bit arrogant, Marco didn't really understand his meaning. In this battle, Akira Stone had lost convincingly, because Hawkeye didn't bully the weak, but gave him enough space to display his abilities, and finally defeated him with absolute advantage, defeating him fairly and squarely. This was also the reason why he was convinced.
Only someone like Hawkeye, who was obsessed with the way of the sword, would give the most respectful way to fight when facing an opponent.
