As we all know, in the original plot of the pirates, the so-called "Cross Union" is an organization founded by Hawkeye and Lao Sha as the main initiators after the Seven Martial Seas system was abolished by the world government - but the Bucky God, who has the strongest overlord color luck, picked peaches by mistake with the "help" of "reliable subordinates" and became the president.

But in any case, there is no doubt that Hawkeye has an inexplicable bond with the "Cross Union". Therefore, he wanted to teach Polusalino a lesson, but now his ideas are becoming more and more accessible, his thinking is becoming more and more open, and he has even jumped out of his original thinking limitations!

(Joining the Crusader Guild and continuing to serve as the king's Seven Martial Seas are not at all in conflict!) ）

(Didn't that bastard like to give himself weird names when he's messing around outside of the Navy headquarters?) ）

(Perhaps, the mysterious swordsman who wields the supreme fast sword "Day" can...... ）

"I'm a pirate hunter in the East China Sea, Roronoa Zoro! Hope to challenge you officially! Hawkeye Mihawk! ”

The Lost King, with short green algae hair and three swords hanging from his waist, interrupted Hawkeye's thoughts and raised his hand to intercept his way.

Let's put it this way, even if Zoro knows that Polusalino may be stronger than Hawkeye, but when the two appear in Bharati at the same time, Polusalino can only be reduced to a given "meal replacement" - the pure swordsman Hawkeye is the most anticipated challenge opponent for Sauron.

So he rushed out directly after hearing the news.

(Three-knife flow?) ）

Although his thoughts were interrupted, Hawkeye's personal cultivation and quality were much better than that of "Marin Vando's shame" Polusalino after all, and he would not be annoyed and angry like the latter, even because of the interference of pretending to be forced and other behaviors. Therefore, he only had a very slight hint of surprise flashing in the child's hole, and his attention was slightly attracted by the three knives on Zoro's waist.

Looking at the whole world today, among all the swordsmen, although there are various weapon paths, the three sword streams are still very rare. Because the Three Blades are not as many beginners and laymen think, because there are more weapons and they are more powerful - on the contrary, because this routine violates the logic of normal human weapon use, the Three Blades are generally weak before the Dacheng, and it is much more difficult to practice than the usual kendo type.

So, even if there are swordsmen who are interested in the Three Swords in the first place, there are still only a handful of people who can stick to it and really use it as their own way of fighting - after all, no one wants to joke with their lives.

However, right next to Hawkeye, it was a coincidence that there was such a three-sword swordsman, and he even had a close relationship with him.

That's right, his disciple Gu Yina is also the key person in the photo he cut to the finger in the kitchen and was obtained by Polusalino.

So Hawkeye indifferently refused: "I refuse, young man, I am only here to eat." ”

As the strongest swordsman, even if he doesn't use his domineering appearance, just by relying on intuition, Hawkeye can also feel that Zoro is a swordsman with good strength.

But want to challenge him?

It's not even close!

So, Hawkeye planned to walk directly into the restaurant from Sauron's side. However, when he was about to pass by, he inadvertently glanced out of the corner of his eye, and the pattern of the saber at the bottom of the opponent's waist aroused his interest.

"It's ...... Is Gorou's entry into the Tao authentic......"

The name that can be remembered by Hawkeye, in addition to the strong, there is a high probability that there is only a famous knife - this famous knife given to his disciple Zoro by Frost Moon Koshiro, the appearance is very simple and unpretentious, and even Hawkeye almost failed to recognize it at the first time, one of the twenty-one workers of the Great Quick Knife, "Gorou Initiation Authentic", is a typical example.

"I didn't expect to see such a famous knife here in the East China Sea...... Well, young pirate hunter, for its sake, I'll give you a chance to challenge me. ”

Hawkeye's attitude at this time was very hurtful, not only was his words very polite, but even his attention was completely attracted by the famous knife.

It was clear that he didn't take Sauron to heart even the slightest.

However, it is precisely this attitude that makes Zoro extra excited and full of fighting spirit:

"Is this the world's No. 1 swordsman......

Because of the excitement, Zoro's tone trembled a little, and he slowly pulled out the three sabers from his waist in turn:

"Hawkeye Mihawk, I'm not here to defeat you in this challenge, and I won't have that delusional idea of not knowing the height of the sky...... However, I want to know first-hand how far we are from each other. ”

"I want to experience the scenery that only the best of kendo can see!"

Hearing this, Hawkeye didn't react in any way, he just watched Zoro put on a strange stance, and then frowned imperceptibly.

Although Hawkeye himself is not a three-sword swordsman, after all, he has guided his disciple Gu Yinna, so he also has his own opinions about the three-sword stream.

And Zoro's posture ......

In Hawkeye's view, it can only be said that it is a great test of the basic skills and talents of a swordsman, otherwise it will be full of flaws.

Just as Zoro continued to accumulate the momentum and strength in his body, wanting to adjust his state to the best, so as to deal with this precious challenge without regrets-

"Huh? You are...... The imps of the Vince Mock family? ”

Sanji, who was standing not far behind Zoro, asked casually with the Vensmock family's trademark curly eyebrows, which distracted Hawkeye.

After all, I can't be more familiar with Porusalino, so a young man like Sanji, who often follows Polusalino and has a point worth paying attention to, Hawkeye also has some impressions.

Moreover, he really didn't want Sauron, who was sober and still dared to challenge himself, and was so warlike at the moment, that he would be "abolished" in an instant - if he looked directly at it with his eyes as sharp as a falcon, even the most seasoned warrior would tremble from the bottom of his heart, and a young man like Zoro would be as naked as he could not hide any secrets.

"Mr. Mihawk."

Compared with the original plot of the pirates, Sanji in this timeline has no resistance to the identity of Vince Mock's son, so he decisively bows slightly and pays tribute to Hawkeye, a strong man and a friend of Polusalino.

But then, he pointed his backhand at Sauron, who was looking at him with a stinky face: "This third-rate swordsman who has never seen the world, I hope your subordinates will show mercy...... Well, he's still worth something. ”

"Ha ???"

A very dissatisfied snort came out of Sauron's mouth in a thick nasal voice: "Do you want me to chop you to pieces in ten seconds before challenging the world's number one swordsman?" Curly eyebrows? ”

Today's Sanji and Sauron, after all, only have one side, so the rash statement to persuade Hawkeye in this way is of course not entirely out of his own good qualities, but in the gap between Zoro and Hawkeye just now, he was told to him by Polusalino.

Therefore –

"Not only do you not know the height of the sky, but you can't even distinguish between good and bad?"

Sanji raised his eyebrows slightly, "Well, instead of wasting Mr. Mihawk's precious time, let me use five seconds to kick your green algae head into meat sauce." ”

"Then I just need to waste three seconds on you, curl my eyebrows!"

"Please give me a second, Mr. Mihawk!"

It's just the first time they've met, but they still show a "bond" like a child bickering in the original story, and a wonderful chemical reaction is produced - Polusalino, who was sitting in the restaurant, saw this scene through the window, and the corners of his mouth rose with pleasure and madness.

But Hawkeye didn't have such a comfortable mood at all, those eagle eyes reflected the figures of Zoro and Sanji, obviously they didn't say anything, they didn't do anything, but the inexplicable momentum instantly made the two young people stop their movements as if they were terrified, and then looked at him in horror.

This is not the domineering color of the overlord, but the pure momentum of Hawkeye as the world's number one swordsman.

“……”

Sanji immediately took a leap and left the arena where Zoro and Hawkeye were fighting, then lowered his head and apologized for his immaturity.

Sauron reasserted his strange starting stance, accumulating sword intent.

Seeing this, Hawkeye raised his hand and pulled off a yellow cross hanging from his chest, and then pulled the cross knife out of its sheath at will, and explained in cold words under Sauron's stunned gaze:

"Unlike the beasts that use all their strength to hunt rabbits, even though you are a swordsman with a small strength, you are not worthy of my use of the strongest black sword in the world."

"Isn't it worth it......"

If it were according to the original plot of the pirates, Zoro would have felt insulted when he heard Hawkeye's harsh words, and he would have been furious.

But in today's timeline, he has seen the tip of the iceberg of the strength of his master Koshiro and some strong people in the revolutionary army, and his horizons have already been broadened. Regarding what Eagle Eye said, I only feel that the world's No. 1 swordsman is really the same.

His performance was not deliberately arrogant, but it was true that very few people could get into his eyes; His language is not arrogant, but just an indisputable fact and actual impression.

No change in his mindset took place, and Sauron kept his composure, forcing him forward with a strange pace - an explosive short dash that quickly reduced the distance between the user and the enemy, a skill created by Sauron's master, Koshiro Shizuki, to deal with the great swordsmen who were the best at flying and slashing, and he passed it on to Sauron.

"Three Knife Streams - Ghost Slash !!"

Although the difficulty of cultivation is much greater, and Xiao Cheng's previous power is weaker than the ordinary one-sword flow and double-sword flow, the consistency of the three-sword flow swordsmanship and the breadth of the attack surface are also incomparable to the rest of the swordsmanship.

The offensive and defensive areas composed of the three long knives are enough to perfectly cover all the space in front of Sauron, and even the regular defensive dead spots such as the arms and sides of the body can be very effective in changing moves.

This is also the reason why in the original story of the Pirates, when Zoro competed with enemies such as Daz Bonis for melee combat ability, the opponent had the advantage and the attack strength was superior, but he was unable to break through his three-sword sword encirclement.

As for the knife held by Hawkeye, although Zoro had never seen such an opponent and weapon before, with his combat experience that could be integrated, he believed that such a choice and combination was more than dexterous, but not enough destructive.

Therefore, he did not choose other moves, but used the "Three Knife Streams: Ghost Slash", which relied most on frontal impact, in an instant.

The three long knives were wrapped in powerful impact potential energy, and they instantly came to Hawkeye. From the perspective of the bystander Sanji, even if you look at the naval headquarters, there will still be quite a few elite sailors who will not be able to resist this violent slash. And those of his peers who received more elite training with him, although they will not be directly cut into several sections, there are also many people who will be blown away by the good impact.

The three cross-shaped blades could touch Hawkeye's body at a glance, and Zoro's powerful power exploded instantly.

But—

The knife, which was no larger than the size of a palm, lightly pressed against the intersection of the two weapons, with a speed and trajectory that Sauron could not even capture.

"Bell!"

Qing Ming, who is in a battle of gold and iron, no matter how Sauron exerts his strength, how the green tendons under his muscles bloom, he can't move forward even a millimeter!

This point of contact is the insurmountable moat set by Hawkeye, the wall of sighs that can be called absolute defense!

】

But now Sauron, after all, is also far better than his own veteran swordsman at the beginning of the original plot of the pirates, seeing that the absolutely positive move was perfectly intercepted, he quickly calmed down the surprise in his heart and decisively changed the way of attack.

With the waist as the center, the power from the bottom up, and the additional power exerted on the slash by the rotation, Zoro counterattacked!

This is a powerful move that only he can use with strong physical fitness and three-sword swordsmanship!

"Three Blades Stream - Tornado !!"

"It's a trick! It's a trick! ”

The employees of the Bharati restaurant who were watching had already been numb in their scalps because they realized Zoro's moves, and they screamed in surprise - when they first came to Bharati's restaurant, there were pirates who were not long-sighted and tried to find trouble with Sauron, who was a pirate hunter. But the hundreds of bullets poured down by the other party's new technological firearms, which were said to have been purchased from the black market at a great price, were all blocked and bounced off by Sauron's move! Someone went to inspect the bullets that had been spread out afterwards, and the surface all had an approximate smooth cut!

It's top-notch defense, and it's top-notch offense as well!

The roaring and terrible black shadow of the three sword blades swung in front of Hawkeye in an instant, just when most of the onlookers thought that this move would bring big trouble to Hawkeye - the small knife with a big slap was inserted into the blade strangulation realm like a torrent at an unhurried speed, in front of everyone!

"Unpretentious and boring showmanship, how much does this guy Mihawk pretend to be...... Kuwa Ichichi~"

Polusalino in the restaurant, even through the window, can see the battle situation at the moment - the knife that is used as a weapon by Hawkeye does not have any meaning of defense or blocking, but with the blessing of Hawkeye's top-level swordsmanship insight and lightning-fast shooting speed, he simply relies on the tip of the knife to touch Zoro's three long knives, or point, or pick, and perfectly grasps the flaw of his move!

To use a simple example from before the Polusalino crossing, it was the tachyon blackout fan!
