Chương 25: Chapter 25: Hawk Eyes Arrives, World's Number One.
"Now—"
"I declare, this is my ship."
In the 'sea restaurant', the revived Krieg loudly ordered everyone.
"Finish your last meal quickly and get off my 'ship'!"
Heartless and greedy. Truly a pirate's demeanor!
"Oh, right."
"I have a group of subordinates on that broken ship over there, about a hundred who haven't starved to death."
The tall man Krieg pointed at the chefs present.
"Go, prepare a hundred meals for me."
Faced with these absurd demands, the chefs naturally refused! And they weren't weaklings either, but 'combat chefs' who dealt with pirates every day, so:
The chefs immediately drew their weapons and charged!
The result:
"A bunch of rats, dare to defy me?"
Bang bang bang bang!
In just a few minutes... no, a few seconds. The battle was over, and the fallen chefs proved with their actions that the man named Krieg dared to call himself the ruler of East Blue for a reason.
So after the restaurant owner brought out a hundred meals, Krieg left a satisfied remark:
"If you don't want to die, leave this place."

"I'm sorry... Mr. Sanji... I'm sorry."
On one side was the leader, on the other was the benefactor.
In the messy restaurant, only Gin, torn between loyalty and gratitude, knelt in pain.
"The leader promised me he wouldn't attack here..."
"It's okay, no need to apologize, Gin."
The blond man Sanji, lighting a cigarette, stood up.
"Feeding the hungry is a chef's duty."
"But if that person becomes an invader after eating," the man named Sanji tapped his heel, "I won't let him go either."
"Krieg, I'll take you down!"
...
"Brother Zoro, Brother Luffy, Brother Roman!"
"Something's wrong!!"
On the other side, Yosaku and Johnny, who had just swum up from the sea to the 'sea restaurant,' anxiously found Roman and the others who were watching the scene.
"The ship... the treasure... everything..."
"Don't worry," Roman flipped his hand and handed them two white 'paper towels.'
"Wipe your face and speak slowly."
"Huff, huff, brothers—"
"Nami... she took the Going Merry!"
"And I saw her take the money from the other ship too..."
???
"Oh no..."
Roman didn't react immediately.
"If it's gone, it's gone. What's the big deal—"
"Hey, hey, hey, Roman, how are we supposed to sail without a ship!!!"
Usopp, who cared the most about the Going Merry, was the first to lose it! To him, the Going Merry was not only his first ship but also carried his longing for his hometown!
"Isn't there another one over there?" Roman nodded his chin.
That's right, Nami took the Going Merry, but the unnamed merchant ship they had been using before was still docked on the other side.
"But the money on that ship was also stolen by Nami..."
"It's just money, we can always find a way to earn more."
What a joke! When have you ever heard of a dignified transmigrator worrying about money?
Besides, Roman believed that as long as he continued to develop his fruit ability, competing with Gild Tesoro for the world's richest title wouldn't be a problem.
Unfortunately, not everyone was as 'generous' or 'open-minded' as Roman?
"Darn, I thought she had become honest recently... I was careless!"
This was Zoro, looking furious.
"It's over, it's over. If Krieg brings people to take over this ship, and we can't escape quickly, we'll definitely be thrown into the sea..."
This was Usopp, looking desperate.
"Roman,"
As the captain, Luffy didn't express an opinion but pressed his straw hat.
"Can you track the Going Merry?"
"Yeah, Roman's paper cranes..."
"No, I can't sense any of my paper cranes."
Before Usopp could be happy, Roman poured cold water on him.
"Nami must have dealt with them."
"It's over, it's over..."
"But," Roman changed his tone, "I can try to locate Nami herself—she injured her shoulder a while ago and used my healing paper band."
Speaking of which, when Nami asked for treatment that time, she specifically covered her other arm...
"Good, Roman."
Luffy raised his head seriously, full of the authority of a 'captain.'
"Start the merchant ship and chase after Nami!"
"Forget her, what's the use of bringing back a thief?" Zoro waved his hand. To him, the most unforgivable thing was 'betrayal.'
"The ship... the ship is what's important..."
For Usopp, the Going Merry was the most important thing.
"No,"
"I just want her to be our navigator!"
Faced with Luffy's resolute statement, Zoro had to cover his forehead.
"Alright... what a willful captain."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Roman also nodded,
"I'll bring her back."
"Yosaku, Johnny," Roman turned to the two third-rate pirate hunters.
"Help get that merchant ship over there moving, we will—"
Swish,
?!
Suddenly, a "light" flashed!
This light was not conspicuous, yet it reached the sky and the sea! It had no color, yet it seemed to contain every color. Before Roman could even react, it had already sliced through Krieg's warship, which was docked like a giant cruise ship! Then it disappeared into the horizon as if it had never appeared.
Boom!!
With a thunderous roar, the giant ship, like a castle, was split in two! Everyone was captivated by the spectacle of the ship splitting apart, except for Roman, who frowned and looked at the sea:
A straight "line" appeared on the sea, with waves surging on either side, as if:
"Even the invisible seawater was split?"
Amazing!
In the face of such power...
"Ahhh~~"
"It's that guy—"
"Captain Krieg, that guy has caught up!"
"He destroyed our fifty warships..."
It's him!
Roman looked at the man sitting on a raft in the midst of the slowly collapsing giant ship.
With hawk-like sharp yellow eyes, a short beard, a black hat adorned with white fur, a burgundy patterned shirt, a black coat, white pants, and black boots. A cross hung on his chest, and a giant cross was strapped to his back.
Roman knew, that was his sword, the world's strongest black blade—Yoru!
Dracule Mihawk.
The world's greatest swordsman!
No need for any fancy introduction, just a simple and straightforward "world's greatest."
"Phew~~~"
"Although I knew we would encounter him here, but..."
Without even a glance, just the sight of him sitting on the raft slowly approaching made Roman want to turn and flee!
This was no longer a matter of strength, but a different level of existence.
"Ahhh, it's over, it's over!"
"What did we do to offend you?"
"Why are you chasing us to the death..."
Faced with the wailing and confusion of the Krieg Pirates, the man on the raft calmly uttered four words.
"Killing time."
...
No, no, no, it must be that the Krieg Pirates discovered your black history of rowing with a black sword, so they were silenced, right?
"What a sharp sword!"
While Roman was complaining inwardly, Zoro had already untied the headband from his arm and tied it around his head. —This meant he was going all out.
"This person—"
"Three Swords Style? It's 'Pirate Hunter' Zoro..."
It must be said, compared to the world's number one 'Hawk Eyes', the name 'Pirate Hunter' Zoro was much more famous in East Blue.
"Aren't you quite free?"
While everyone was stunned by Hawk Eyes' overwhelming presence, Zoro had already stepped forward, pointing his Wado Ichimonji at the man on the raft.
"Fight me!"
