While the Five Elders were discussing matters related to the Seven Martial Seas Project in the Holy Land, Polusalino had already taken Kuzan to contact the second candidate for His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas Project.

"I met you last time in Rogue Town, that sharp-eyed swordsman......"

Kuzan said as he walked after Polusalino towards the deserted island they had just landed.

"That's right," Polusalino nodded, "According to the intelligence officers, the swordsman we're looking for, Hawkeye Mihawk, is on this island. ”

"Hawkeye?"

Kuzan recalled the appearance of Hawkeye, especially his eyes, and couldn't help but nod slightly, "What an image nickname." ”

In fact, strictly speaking, Hawkeye Mihawk is not a pirate, but more of a lone adventurer - he has no interest in the life of pirates, nor does he like to do chivalry, and his only purpose seems to be to hone his swordsmanship. As long as he is a strong swordsman, whether it is the navy or a pirate, he will find a way to find a way to fight with him.

Of course, the target he wants to fight is not only the swordsman, but also the other guys who are strong. He seems to understand very well that if he wants to become stronger, there is only one way to keep sharpening himself.

Therefore, among the average pirates, this guy's reputation is not very high, and it can even be said that there is no degree at all.

But for the world government, whose eyes and ears are all over the world, a person like him, whose potential and strength belong to the first-class people on the sea, has long been included in the target of observation and vigilance. Therefore, after His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas Plan was confirmed, the Five Elders quickly listed him as the second candidate.

I have to say that the eyes of the five old stars are still very vicious. They didn't know that Mihawk, known as "Hawkeye", would become the world's No. 1 swordsman in the future, but they still bet on him very early on-which also made the grade and gold content of the future king's Seven Martial Seas invisibly higher because of Mihawk's existence.

It is no exaggeration to say that "Hawkeye" Mihawk is a gold medalist on the sea at a level far above the Seven Martial Seas. You must know that the redhead of one of the four emperors in the future uses a sword, Charlotte Lingling, one of the four emperors, also uses a sword, and the admiral of the navy, Fuji Hu, still uses a sword...... And Hawkeye was able to overwhelm these strong men and take over the title of the Golden Lion's world's number one swordsman, which, in Polusalino's view, is a strong proof that he can compete for the "strongest man in the world" after Whitebeard's death.

Of course, this is the original plot of One Piece, but now......

If Hawkeye wants to win the title of the world's No. 1 swordsman, then he has to ask Ultraman Bayeri. What? Ultraman Bayeri didn't use a sword?

Isn't a lightsaber a sword? Isn't a laser sword a sword?

"Then again, Polusalino senpai,"

Kuzan suddenly asked, "According to the information, 'Hawkeye' Mihawk should be the kind of character whose whereabouts are erratic, right?" Why was it confirmed that our intelligence agents were on this island this time? I don't think this island is a very special island, right? ”

"It's true that this island isn't a very special island, but recently a pirate group has been stationed on this island, and their leader is a swordsman who is well-known in Paradise,"

Polusalino smiled, "Hawkeye, that guy must have come to this person to learn swordsmanship." ”

"Swordsmanship?"

"Hmm...... You can interpret it as Hawkeye wanting to kill him or wanting to be killed by him. ”

"Tsk......"

……

The truth is exactly what Polusalino said: Pietro, the "Quick Sword" who made a name for himself in Paradise, recently led the "Rapid Pirates" he founded to be stationed on this island. Although they kept a low profile and didn't cause trouble, somehow, the news of them on the island was made known by Hawkeye.

Hawkeye, who is keen to fight powerful swordsmen, certainly won't miss this opportunity, after all, Pietro is also a supernova with a bounty of 100 million and 5 million Bailey, and even earned the name "Fast Sword" because of his extremely fast sword.

Although the amount of the bounty order from the Navy Headquarters is sometimes very watery, in most cases it can accurately reflect the strength of a pirate. Pietro's bounty of 100 million and 5 million Bailey is the highest in the park, and it also represents the best strength in the park.

If nothing else, this powerful swordsman in his twenties will perform even better in the future, and even in the New World, he may get his own share of fame. But it's a pity that the nightmare of all the weak swordsmen, "Hawkeye" Mihawk, came to the door today.

……

"Ship, captain! That man! That, the man with eagle-sharp eyes! He's coming!! Brothers, all-"

Before the frightened words of the man, who had a huge wound on his body, could finish his words, he fainted. Petro was about to help him up and ask about the situation, but he couldn't help but freeze - the man with eagle-like eyes that his subordinate had just said had already appeared in front of him.

"You guy...... Is that you?! What about my men?! ”

Pietro still had a few brushes, and the stiffness of his body only lasted for a moment, and then he quickly pulled out his knife and gritted his teeth to look at Hawkeye in front of him.

"Don't worry, they're all down, but I've only struck one sword at each of them, and it won't hurt ......"

Hawkeye, who was holding the big sword, said lightly, and the excitement in his tone was a little irrepressible, "You are the swordsman who has been very famous in the park recently, 'Quick Sword' Pietro, right?" ”

"I'm here to teach you your fast sword!"

……

Petro was the first to strike - he had already recognized Hawkeye's identity, a powerful man who had recently hunted swordsmen around Paradise, and several skilled swordsmen he knew had already fallen into Hawkeye's hands.

"Death for Lao Tzu!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the long knife in Pietro's hand turned into a cold light, and the air was directly torn.

A naval colonel who used a sword once commented on Pietro's swordsmanship - it was so fast that it was impossible to catch with the naked eye, and no matter how much he concentrated, he could only see a vague afterimage, and he could not effectively block and counterattack. However, if you only think that his sword is fast, you are very wrong. Each of his blows not only had the speed of drawing a knife and slashing, but also had the powerful power of tearing apart a huge sea ship.

"Is this the Swift Sword? Nice speed! ”

A hint of appreciation flashed in Mihawk's eyes, "It seems that I was right to come to you on purpose, you are indeed much stronger than the few guys I met before!" ”

Clang!

"What?!"

With the sound of gold and iron clashing, Petero's eyes widened, his face was full of frightened expressions, and cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead, "Actually blocked?!" How is this possible?! ”

Mihawk just raised his sword very casually, and easily blocked his attack.

Pietro has been learning swords for 15 years, and since he went to sea, it is not that no one has blocked his attacks, but this is the first time he has encountered such a casual one.

"Don't get me wrong, I said that your sword speed is good, that's relative to other people......"

Hawkeye commented lightly.

"Brush!"

The knife flashed, and Pietro, whose body was tense, only felt a chill in his chest. He didn't even see Hawkeye's sword, and the latter had already put the big knife in his hand back on his back.

"Poof!"

Only then did the blood begin to spurt, and the huge wound extended from Pietro's right shoulder to his left abdomen, and even the bones were cut off.

"Ah——!h

Pietro began to scream and lay on his back in pain.

His eyes widened, as if he wanted to say something "How is this possible?!" But he has no strength.

"But your sword is still too slow for me. Of course, it's also very weak. If you survive, keep trying to get stronger......"

After saying this, Hawkeye turned his head expressionlessly: "What do you think of the two over there?" ”

"Sure enough, it was discovered, it is worthy of Hawkeye Mihawk, Kuowa Yinei~"

Porusalino and Kuzan came out of the shadows.

"Navy?"

Hawkeye frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, the two of you are ......"

"Under the Navy Headquarters, Vice Admiral Polusalino, this is my junior brother, Rear Admiral Kuzan,"

Polusalino smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, like the innocent male protagonist in the hot-blooded comics, "When we meet for the first time, please give me a lot of advice!" ”

Kuzan, who was beside Polusalino, couldn't help but feel a thrill when he saw his senior have such a reaction, and secretly sweated for Hawkeye in his heart - people in the navy who were slightly familiar with Polusalino knew that once he had such a look, there was a good chance that someone would be unlucky.

(Hawkeye, ah no, Mihawk, please hold on until we complete the formalities of the Seven Martial Seas!) ）

……

As we all know, there are three nature monsters in the Navy Headquarters. And unlike Polusalino, a fish monster who reluctantly does it when he has a task (push when he can), and Kuzan, a sleeping man who gradually loses his aggressiveness and becomes a salted fish, Sakasky has always been a diligent representative who takes the initiative to find tasks and take on tasks.

Last month, Polusalino even had a bad taste in proposing to the Marshal of the Warring States that every quarter or six months in the future there could be a selection of "naval models", and he voted unconditionally for Sakasky in each issue. Even the award slogan Polusalino said that he had already thought it out - "The big of the roosters, the Sakasky of the marines!" ”

Of course, this proposal did not pass in the end. Although Polusalino was very positive, and the Marshal of the Warring States and other high-ranking naval officials were also impressed, Sakasky's cordial greetings with Polusalino at that time clearly showed his refusal:

"Polusalino!! I*****!!! You*****!!! ******！！！ ”

To get back to the point, while Porusalino and Kuzan were on a mission to recruit His Majesty's Seven Warrior Seas, Sakasky was not idle—he took his lieutenant Ghost Spider and the 800 elite naval soldiers of the "Smaug" to the New World.

Smaug was the name that Polusalino gave to his ship, and Sakasky initially called his ship "Hot Lava", but both Ghost Spider and Polusalino found it too earthy.

"Sakasky is out again?"

Navy Headquarters, belonging to the office of Marshal Sengoku, Marshal Sengoku raised his head and said in his busy schedule.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, it's only the 21st today, and he's been dispatched 10 times."

Lieutenant General Karp, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, said without looking up—his hands were moving quickly on the screen of the phone bug, and his mouth was chewing on the fairy shell, and Kazkaz rattled.

The marshal of the Warring States period sighed: "I hope Sakasky doesn't lose himself in the killing, about this, that guy Polusalino should ......"

"! Are these guys monsters? How can there be such a fast hand speed! ”

Lieutenant General Karp didn't pay attention to what the Sengoku Marshal was saying at all, and he was immersed in the phone bug mini-game, and he loudly interrupted the Sengoku Marshal who had not finished speaking.

"Karp ......"

The Marshal of the Warring States period had already erupted on his forehead, and an angry roar was accumulating.

"Oops! Don't don't, don't! Yes! Let's have a long strip! Let's have a long strip! Almost!! Bastard!!! ”

“…… You're the bastard! Karp!! Listen to the old man!! ”

The Marshal of the Warring States finally couldn't bear it anymore, and an angry roar resounded throughout the Marinfando Fortress.

However, Lieutenant General Karp, who was yelled at by him, did not give the expected awakening reaction, but just raised his head in confusion, deducted the boogers by the way, and even flew the boogers to his desk:

"What's wrong? Warring states? Do you have something to do with the old man? ”

“……”

Looking at Lieutenant General Karp's appearance, Marshal Sengoku only felt extremely tired, and the anger just now had disappeared: "Alas...... All right. ”

"Warring States, didn't I say you, don't always sigh, if you sigh too much, there will be more wrinkles on your face! Xiao He must have thought that there were too many wrinkles on my face, and he was afraid that I would scare little Robin, so he took her with him......"

"No, I think she's just afraid that you're going to spoil the little girl......"

Compared to Karp, who wants to fight in addition to boxing in his head, Lieutenant General Tsuru's upbringing is obviously more suitable for little Robin - she can not only deal with more convenient female soldiers, but also develop "morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and laborably" in an all-round way, as Polusalino said.

Of course, Lieutenant General Karp, who is not good at little Robin's flowery and fruity abilities, will occasionally find little Robin and teach her some unique experience in armed color domineering.

……

A sea area in the first half of the New World.

"Lieutenant General! Lieutenant General Sakarsky! Spot a pirate ship and find a lot of pirate ships ahead! ”

Keeping a straight stance, a Navy soldier pushed open the hatch of Sakasky's office, "It's a lot of them, it's a pirate fleet!" ”

"What? Pirate fleet? ”

Sakasky decisively put down the phone bug in his hand and stood up with a little excitement,

"Yes! There are more than ten ships, all of which fly the pirate flag!! It's all pirate ships without a doubt!! ”

The sailor nodded hurriedly.

"Excellent! Pass my orders and get ready for battle!! ”

"Yes!!"

……

Unlike Paradise, the New World has a lot of resources, but most of them are firmly controlled by the monster-like Three Pirates and their pirates. The remaining few were also divided among the strong men, who were inferior in strength to the three pirates, but were also good players. There is only a small amount that can be left for those small fish and shrimp.

If in Paradise, the gap between the resources of the powerful pirates and the weak pirates is five to ten times, then in the new world, the gap can reach an astonishing fifty times more - the weak pirates can sometimes only have dozens of people and one broken pirate ship, while the powerful pirates can easily organize a pirate fleet composed of dozens of large warships and thousands of people.

What Sakasky and his men encountered, this pirate fleet of ten warships, although it was still far from the huge fleet of the three monsters, could be regarded as a force with some fame and strength in the New World.

The leader of the fleet is named Wilson, and he is an animal-based Devil Fruit ability. The fruit is a porcupine fruit, which doesn't sound great, but it's actually pretty good. Just like a porcupine, combined with the domineering of the armed color, both offensive and defensive are remarkable, and Wilson also received a bounty of up to 550 million Bailey from the Navy Headquarters.

"Captain! The shadow of the ship has been spotted in front of the fleet! It's a ship of the Navy! ”

"Ships of the Navy?" Wilson frowned, "How many?" ”

"Report to the captain, there's only one!"

"One? It looks like a navy research ship...... Very good! Lao Tzu is worried that he has no gift for the Governor Kaido who is about to meet! ”

Wilson smiled brutally, "Let the fleet catch up directly!" Eat them!! I'm going to use the captain's head as a gift to Governor Kaido!! ”

"Oooooo!!oo

……

"Look, Vice Admiral Sakasky, it's all pirate ships."

A certain sailor led the way in front, and Sakasky followed behind to the deck.

"Seeing that we didn't run away, but dared to meet us directly? A bunch of scum!! ”

Sakasky stretched out two fists bigger than a casserole – it was time to show off the new moves he had developed to restrain Polusalino.

"Meteor Volcano !!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Sackarsky used his strength to prove why both the Navy Headquarters and the pirates called their three natural monsters a walking humanoid scourge - in just a few seconds, hundreds of huge magma blocks were blasted out by him, and the terrifying explosive force sent them directly into the clouds, and then fell sharply.

Even though they had seen Sakasky shoot many times, all the crew members, including the Ghost Spider, couldn't help but widen their eyes - the sky above the huge pirate fleet in front of them had begun to fall, and the sky was already dyed red.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an apocalyptic scene......

……

"Damn it! Which bastard said it was a Navy survey ship?! This is clearly the battleship of Sakasky, one of the three natural monsters, Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!! ”

Wilson's roar resounded throughout the deck, and although his men were tempted to complain that it was you bastard who said it was a Navy survey ship, but in the face of Sakasky's powerful moves, everyone was in no mood to gossip.

"Boom!"

The first smashed magma block had already appeared, smashing into a certain pirate ship behind Wilson's flagship, without any resistance, the ship was instantly shattered and burned. Explosives stored in the ship's hold were also detonated, and the waves were splashed tens of meters high.

And then there's a succession of --

"Boom Boom!"

Wilson and his fleet began to pay for their stupidity.

……

On the other side, quickly attack the station of the pirates.

"Why did the leader of the new generation of the Navy and the candidate for the highest combat power of the world government suddenly find me, an ordinary little pirate?"

Completely contrary to the "ordinary little pirate" in his words, Mihawk, who was carrying a long knife, spoke in a rather calm tone, and even if he recognized the identities of Polusalino and Kuzan, he did not have much mood swings.

"When you say that, 99% of the pirates on the sea will cry and feed the Sea Kings, Mr. Hawkeye,"

Polusalino laughed, "If you're a mediocre little pirate, then we're a mediocre little navy." ”

Mihawk raised an eyebrow, not intending to continue, "So, why did you two find me?" Are you trying to capture me, or are you ......? ”

"I'm looking for you, Mr. Mihawk,"

Polusalino turned into a gold medal salesman, with a smile on his face, "Have you heard of Xiao...... I mean, the Seven Martial Seas of Your Majesty? ”

"Your Majesty's Seven Martial Seas? I see,"

Hawkeye, of course, had read the issue of the newspaper that had made a fuss on the sea a few days ago, and he nodded slightly, "Do you want me to be a legal pirate?" ”

"That's right, for more than a year, Mr. Mihawk, the strength and potential you have shown have been greatly appreciated by the world government. The higher-ups thought that a strong man like you was already qualified to become a member of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, so Kuzan and I approached you. ”

Polusalino replied.

"I'm curious why you two are doing such a task...... The three natural monsters dispatched two people at a time, shouldn't such a formation be to take Whitebeard's head? His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas recruit this kind of mission, and the CP agents of the World Government will be enough......"

"No way, who made me the proposer of this plan~"

Polusalino smiled, "The World Government may also think that it would be better for me to complete this task myself, and it would be more sincere?" ”

"That's right...... But when you two were dispatched, was there still such a thing as 'if you refused, get rid of them immediately'? ”

Hawkeye's sharp eyes swept over Polusalino and Kuzan, Polusalino was fine, but the hairs on the back of Kuzan's neck were already standing on end.

"No, no, don't get me wrong, Mr. Mihawk,"

Polusalino first smiled and waved his hand, and then activated the ability of the "French Fruit", raising his hands as if weak, "Whether it is the world government or me, there is no reluctance. If you refuse, forget it, although it's a pity, but I'll look for someone else. ”

Hawkeye hooked the corners of his mouth: "A tough world government, this time there is such an unexpected tough attitude......"

"No way, the truth of the world is to maintain enough reverence for the strong. Whether it's the navy or the pirates, they all have to follow this ...... Mr. Mihawk, if you were to be weaker, you might be able to verify that the government has the same level of consideration as you say. ”

"I really agree with your words...... However, "

Hawkeye pondered for a moment, and uttered something that Pollusalino had heard many times, "Has the world government been weakened to this point by using legitimate plundering rights to bribe a few uncontrolled pirates to create a superficial alliance?" ”

"No, the government is just trying to use a method that is less effort and more effective than violence."

(And there's going to be a tougher big move soon...... ）

"That's right, a guy like you, there are at least three people in the navy of the new generation, and the three of you alone are enough to deter the vast majority of pirates."

Hawkeye nodded.

"Thanks for the compliment, so, Mr. Mihawk, your thoughts on the proposal of the Seven Martial Seas are ......"

"I'm joining."

"Great, that's ......"

"But I have one request," Mihawk interrupted Polusalino as he stared at the latter, his golden-sharp eyes exuding extraordinary strength, "I want you to fight me." ”

(The last thing you want to happen happens, it's really troublesome...... ）

With different warlike eagle eyes and Kuzan with a playful expression, Polusalino was full of helplessness: "Why do you want to fight me?" Mr. Mihawk. I'm not a pure swordsman like you, and if you compete with me, you won't be able to learn swordsmanship. ”

"It's the same for me whether you're a swordsman or not, I like to fight with strong people, and you're obviously a strong one."

As he spoke, Hawkeye stretched out his right hand, "To be honest, when I was in Rogue Town, I already felt the aura of a strong man on your body!" ”

"Oh?"

Proud as an eagle's eye, Polusalino certainly didn't think he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to shake hands with him. In fact, while there is no direct evidence, Polusalino has already guessed what he is going to do - as things stand, Hawkeye is desperate to fight him. And in order to force him to agree, Hawkeye should take the initiative.

And before Polusalino crossed over, there was such a saying in his world: the highest level of cultivating kendo is the unity of man and sword, and after reaching that realm, flying leaves and falling flowers, every sand and stone can become the sharpest blade in the hands of a swordsman.

It's not clear if there is such a statement in the Pirate World, but judging by Hawkeye's current performance......

"No Knife Flow!"

"Brush!"

Hawkeye's right hand flicked abruptly, and the air made a sound like rags that had been torn through thin air. His man's characteristic turquoise slash suddenly took shape, with great might, and roared towards Polusalino's face door at a near-zero distance.

(And so it was!) ）

There are no less than ten ways to deal with Hawkeye's slash, but he has chosen the most iron-clad method at the moment!

- Polusalino's left hand, which was covered with armed color domineering, instantly turned into a claw type, and grabbed Hawkeye's powerful slash that could cut gold and break iron! Sparks splashed everywhere, and the golden iron roared, and Polusalino's left hand turned into an insurmountable moat at this moment!

Not only that, Porusalino also slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and his left hand violently exerted force at the same time - with a clear sound of "pop", the slash that had been materialized was crushed by him, and instantly turned into a point of light in the sky and dissipated in the air!

In addition to the novelty, his heart was more stressed and excited - the corners of his mouth overflowed with uncontrollable smiles, and his words were no longer as emotionless as before, but full of admiration and war:

"As one of the three most famous natural monsters in the Navy Headquarters, you are strong, Vice Admiral Polusalino! You're stronger than anyone I've met before!! ”

Polusalino smiled very modestly: "General, third in the world~"

Hawkeye naturally didn't know that the world that Polusalino was playing even before he crossed over belonged to the old terrier of the ancient era, but he still understood the literal meaning of this sentence. couldn't help frowning:

"I'm afraid Lieutenant General Polusalino's words are a bit exaggerated, can you beat any of the three monster pirates in the New World?"

Kuzan, who was behind Polusalino, didn't speak, but he was probably thinking about the same as Hawkeye.

"There's no evidence, Mr. Mihawk, you can try it." Polusalino laughed.

"Good!"

Hawkeye slowly pulled out the long knife behind his back.

"Wait!"

"What? Lieutenant General Polusalino, do you want to regret it? ”

Hawkeye, who was abruptly interrupted by Polusalino, frowned, "It's not ...... to go back on your word."

"Where, I just have a proposal, Mr. Hawkeye,"

Polusalino smiled, "With the strength of the two of us, even if it's just a fight, I'm afraid this island will be affected a lot." I'm in the Navy, and Mr. Hawkeye, a former pirate, is now half of the world's government, so we still have to consider the situation of the inhabitants of this island...... Why don't we move the venue to the sea? ”

Because of Polusalino's words, Hawkeye couldn't help but have a good impression of him - he himself is not a person who likes to bully weak people (those who stand in his way are counted separately), and now in his opinion, although Polusalino is a little bigger, he is really strong in his own right, and he is a good navy who is dedicated to his duties.

"It can be, but if you fight at sea, there is no stable foothold, and the strength of you and me will be more or less affected, right?"

Hawkeye said, "Lieutenant General Porusalino, you are a Devil Fruit ability, and you are naturally restrained on the sea, and I don't want to take advantage of that. ”

"You don't have to worry about the foothold, Mr. Hawkeye, I brought a first-class architect......

Polusalino smiled, then looked at Kuzan on the side, "It's the exam!" ”
