章 37: Zoro, let me borrow your wife!
Has the appearance changed?
Hawkeye stared at the silver figure in front of him, feeling puzzled.
The sound of footsteps, like the sound of drums.
No, that's the sound of a heartbeat.
Is this a person with abilities?
Changing posture, strengthening the body, obviously a characteristic of Zoan.
But... not an ordinary Zoan, right?
A mythical beast?
"In East Blue, there are experts like you. What's your name?" Hawkeye showed an interested expression.
"Monkey D. Luffy."
This name... is the one mentioned by the red-haired person.
Hawkeye's mouth curled up. "Sorry, I'm only interested in swordsmen. You don't seem to be one, so I have no reason to fight you."
Upon hearing this, Luffy looked towards the direction of the restaurant.
Sanji dragged the injured Zoro out of the sea.
"Hey, Zoro, can I borrow your wife for a moment?"
"Cough... cough... huh?"
Zoro's chest was bleeding profusely, and his consciousness was almost fading. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Wife?
Are they talking about a sword?
Indeed, for a swordsman, their beloved sword is almost like a wife, never leaving their side for 24 hours. They don't even treat their wives as seriously as their swords.
The three swords that were originally there were cut by Hawkeye, leaving only one...
Pure white, one of the 21 Great Grade swords, Wado Ichimonji!
Zoro lay on the ground, holding onto Wado Ichimonji tightly even though he was on the verge of death, and handed it to Sanji.
"Take it..."
Sanji gasped for breath, looked at Zoro, and then glanced at Luffy and Hawkeye not far away.
Gritting his teeth, he took Wado Ichimonji and threw it away forcefully.
"One after another, they're all crazy!"
"Thank you."
Luffy received the sword, but didn't draw it. Instead, he chuckled, "Now, I'm a swordsman."
Although he didn't know any swordsmanship at all.
Before Hawkeye could say anything, the wreckage of the ship under their feet suddenly began to soften.
It was affected by the ability of Nika and turned into rubber.
Luffy stomped his foot, and with the elasticity of the rubber, he suddenly shot up into the sky.
"Huh?"
Hawkeye was filled with doubt.
Paramecia?
The ability to affect external objects, this is obviously a characteristic of Paramecia.
He didn't have a chance to ponder over it. Luffy, who had flown into the sky, suddenly extended his palm.
His right hand swelled up with the wind, instantly transforming into a colossal object.
Like a huge mountain, he grabbed the wreckage of the huge warship that was about to sink and fiercely threw it towards Hawkeye.
"It's become gigantic...!" Sanji's face was full of astonishment.
The Straw Hat crew members were equally stunned.
The many chefs hiding at the entrance of the restaurant, as well as the owner Zeff who rushed over upon hearing the commotion, all stared in disbelief at everything that was happening.
The only ones injured were the hungry members of the Krieg Pirates among the wreckage.
Together with the wreckage, they were all thrown towards Hawkeye.
"What a ridiculous ability."
Hawkeye swung his black sword, Yoru, and with a single strike, he cut through the wreckage of the warship.
At this moment, the colossal hand that covered the sky had already disappeared from sight.
Luffy, who was hidden behind the wreckage, quickly approached Hawkeye's body.
A white leg, gradually turning black as it was dyed with Haki, fiercely kicked towards his abdomen.
A feint attack?
Hawkeye calmly defended with his sword.
However, this attack didn't get blocked as he had expected.
When the leg hit his black sword, an unbelievable scene occurred.
His strongest blade, Yoru, softened and couldn't stop anything at all.
Bang!!
A solid kick landed on his abdomen, almost as if it was going to pierce through his body.
Hawkeye's pupils contracted, and his whole body was sent flying.
He was like a small stone thrown forcefully, skipping across the surface of the sea.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
In an instant, he flew hundreds of meters away, his body losing balance as it rose and fell on the surface of the sea.
The onlookers stared wide-eyed, their expressions filled with disbelief.
"Hahaha~"
Luffy's laughter echoed in the sky.
With a step in the void, white flames emerged beneath his feet, resembling a missile as it chased after Hawkeye.
Striking first.
Before Hawkeye could stabilize his position, Luffy had already caught up to him.
With a single swing, his fist rapidly expanded, instantly becoming a hundred meters in diameter.
"White Giant Pistol!"
His fist, now rapidly darkening, was enveloped in Armament Haki.
A giant punch descending from the sky!
Boom!
Hawkeye was punched into the sea, causing towering waves to surge.
The sea remained turbulent for a long time.
The enormous fist quickly returned to its original state, while Luffy stood in mid-air, using Observation Haki to search for Hawkeye's presence.
"Don't tell me that's it? Where's the challenge? It's not even a warm-up."
Beneath the sea surface.
Hawkeye held his breath.
"Such formidable attack power. If it weren't on the sea, I would have been injured. Is that the kid Red-Haired mentioned... is it him?"
With too many doubts to bother thinking, he decided to turn around and ask.
At this moment, Hawkeye gripped his black sword, Yoru, and used Observation Haki to lock onto the silver-white figure in the sky, swinging his sword with all his might.
In an instant, a hundred-meter-long trench tore through the sea surface.
The deep green slash soared into the sky, as if it could pierce through the heavens.
The dazzling blade aura swept towards Luffy.
"This is... Summit War's strike aimed at Whitebeard."
Luffy recognized it at a glance.
White flames emerged beneath his feet once again, evading the attack.
This slash passed through Luffy's original position, heading straight towards the sky.
Boom!
After leaping a thousand kilometers, it created a huge hole in the sky, shattering the white clouds above.
"What kind of battle is this!?"
The onlookers in the distance were shocked beyond belief.
Is this the world of 3.5 billion?
Splitting the ocean with a single slash, tearing through the sky with a sword aura!
The silver-white figure stood proudly in mid-air, shining like a sun in the sunlight.
"So these are the monsters of the Grand Line!?"
Sanji gasped, stunned by the spectacle.
Zoro strained to lift his head, staring unblinkingly at the distant battle.
Both Luffy and Hawkeye were unimaginably powerful at this moment.
The gap between them was like an insurmountable chasm.
In the next moment, Hawkeye leaped out of the torn ocean and landed steadily on his own coffin ship.
He looked up.
"This place doesn't suit your strength, Monkey D. Luffy. I'll remember that."
He sheathed his black sword.
"You're running away?"
Luffy chuckled lightly.
He completely ignored the fact that he had just been kicked.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't use Emission, so he couldn't infuse Haki into the enemy's body for internal damage.
Otherwise, that kick just now would have definitely made Hawkeye cough up blood.
"Strong individuals like you won't stay confined to this weak sea. I'll be waiting for you in the Grand Line."
Hawkeye grinned, completely unfazed by the provocation.
As far as killing time was concerned, this trip to the East Blue had far exceeded expectations.
"You won't wait for me, but for my Vice captain."
Luffy saw that Hawkeye had lost his fighting spirit and wasn't interested in continuing the confrontation. "Treasure your remaining time. The title of the world's greatest swordsman will soon change hands."
"Is that so? Then I'll look forward to it."
Satisfied, Hawkeye left.
He couldn't wait to have a good chat with Red-Haired.
["Is this the brat you were talking about? That kick just now... it hurts a bit!"]
