"Um!?"
Luffy suddenly put his hands behind his head, showing a puzzled expression, and then said matter-of-factly:
"Really, Chi Hong, is there any need to ask me about this kind of thing?"
"We are pirates!?"
Luffy raised the corners of his mouth, revealing two rows of white teeth, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted:
"Of course, the more dangerous the place, the more adventure we will take!!!"
"Okay~"
After hearing this answer, Chi Hong suddenly smiled: "I knew you would say that."
"If that's the case, then Zoro's first battle with Hawkeye will remain unchanged."
"But after that..."
Chihong paused, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious evil smile:
"I need you to cooperate with me and complete a good show!"
In fact, Chihong did have some hesitation before this.
From the beginning, he prepared two plans for contacting Hawkeye:
The first plan is the same as the original work, allowing Sauron to challenge Hawkeye, see the vastness of the world, and win Hawkeye's appreciation.
By the way, let Luffy challenge it once and gain some experience.
This contact scheme is safe, harmless, and won't change much in the future.
But the gains obviously won’t be too much.
As for the other plan, as he said, there are certain dangers.
But if it works...
The name of Straw Hat may enter the world's attention early!
"Sure enough, after I find someone to take the blame, I feel relaxed~!"
"This decision was made by the captain himself. If something happens, it has nothing to do with me~"
Looking at the excited backs of Luffy and Zoro, Red raised the corner of her mouth and murmured secretly in her heart.
He does not have a big heart like Luffy, and it is difficult for him to take the initiative to put his friends in danger with peace of mind.
But if all this is the captain's order...
That’s a different story!
…
…
Time passes slowly.
That's ten minutes of work.
Before Barati's chefs and the tourists in the nearby sea could recover from the shock of Luffy destroying the battleship with one punch...
A coffin-shaped boat glowing with green fire suddenly emerged from behind the wreckage of the battleship.
On the small boat, a man with sharp eyes like an eagle raised his head, looked at the damaged battleship, and then looked at the direction of the Meili.
He suddenly spoke and said calmly with a hint of regret:
"The toy I finally found to pass the time seems to have been broken!"
"Brother Sauron, that man is..."
On board the Meili, Johnny and Joseph were immediately shocked when they saw the visitor, and pointed forward with moved expressions.
And Zoro had already cast his gaze over, staring straight at that man.
"That's right!"
At this moment, Zoro's throat rolled and he felt his beating heart. He immediately answered with trembling hands:
"He is...the man I am looking for!!!"
Although I have already received a notification from Chihong...
But when the goal he had been pursuing suddenly appeared in front of him, Zoro couldn't help but trembled in his heart.
The scene of the agreement with Gu Yina under the moonlight appeared in his mind involuntarily.
The Meili drove slowly towards the direction of Hawkeye. After arriving near Hawkeye's boat, Zoro suddenly jumped onto the wreckage of the battleship.
I saw him put on his turban, and a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Then he slowly pulled out the long knife from his waist, and raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a young and arrogant smile.
"The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk!!!"
"I went to sea to see you!"
"You're very free, right?"
"Come and compete with me!?"
Under the scorching sun, the three long knives flashed with blazing light.
Zoro invited in a tone that could not be refused.
"Um?"
And his voice also successfully attracted Hawkeye's attention.
In an instant, the entire sea suddenly became quiet.
Sanji on the Merry lights a cigarette.
Although we have a general understanding of Sauron's dream through Johnny and Joseph's explanation.
But when he saw Sauron inviting Hawkeye to fight without hesitation, his pupils trembled subconsciously for a moment.
"Challenge me?" Hawkeye lowered his head and suddenly said in a calm voice: "What is your goal?"
Sauron replied without hesitation: "Beyond you! Become the strongest!!!"
The sea breeze blows, and waves pass through this quiet sea area.
"Hmph~"
Hawkeye suddenly let out a soft snort: "How stupid!"
Having said that, he finally stepped off the boat and came to the opposite side of Sauron.
Then, just like the original plot, he took out a cross knife from his chest.
"I can feel that your swordsmanship has indeed improved slightly."
"But if this alone makes you think you are qualified to challenge me..."
"That would be a little too ridiculous."
Hawkeye obviously has no interest in fighting weaklings.
He raised the palm-sized knife in his hand, with a look of disdain in his eyes:
"Sorry!"
"This is already the smallest knife I have."
Zoro frowned.
Although this was also included in the "future" described by Chihong, when everything actually happened, he still felt unhappy inside.
But in an instant, he smiled relievedly.
"Really? Then I hope you can persist, but never..."
"Don't take out your black knife!!!"
Stab~! ! !
Dazzling lightning suddenly bloomed on Sauron's body, covering his whole body like a piece of golden armor!
The next second, Zoro looked up.
The originally resolute eyes turned into ferocious beasts at this moment, looking at everything in front of them greedily and cruelly!
Without giving the scornful Hawkeye any chance to prepare, he bowed directly.
"Three Swordsman Style·Thunder Blade·Ryuga!!!"
Ouch~! ! !
There is no prelude!
The power of thunder and lightning wrapped around Sauron's body suddenly expanded, forming a roaring and ferocious dragon head, attacking towards the direction of Eagle Eye.
At the same time, a slight pressure suddenly invaded Hawkeye's mind.
It was Zoro's characteristic feeling of oppression.
"Huh!? This feeling..."
Feeling the aura released from Sauron, Hawkeye's eyes finally changed at this moment.
You can’t go wrong!
Although this feeling of oppression is still very slight, it is definitely something that can happen only once in a million people - domineering and domineering! ! !
“Interesting~”
The corners of Hawkeye's mouth suddenly curved.
Although he was a little surprised, there was no pause in the movements of his hands.
Broken~!
Just a slight thrust forward, without any fancy special effects or any unnecessary movements...
The galloping thunder dragon felt as if someone had pressed down its head in an instant, and its energy was gone.
Hawkeye suddenly spoke and said to Sauron:
"I have to admit, I was a little blind."
"I didn't expect that in this weakest sea, I would meet such an interesting swordsman like you."
"It seems that my trip was really worthwhile."
"Unfortunately……"
"You are still too weak now!!!"
Uh-huh! ! !
Hawkeye suddenly swung his blade!
The light of the sword passed by, and the phantom of the thunder dragon, which was formed by the fusion of one hundred thousand volts and the sword's power, was cut out with a smooth cut, and then dissipated instantly.
"What!?"
Zoro's expression changed, revealing a look of surprise.
Although he knew that the gap between him and Hawkeye would be huge, after all, even Luffy, who could easily defeat him, was judged by Red as unable to withstand a serious attack from Hawkeye.
But he never thought that the attack he unleashed with all his strength would be so easily defeated by Hawkeye with a knife.
"Sure enough, it's still too early!"
After Sauron's eyes trembled inadvertently for a few times, he immediately gritted his teeth, brandished his sword, and launched a violent attack on Hawkeye.
The next scene doesn’t have much to do with the original plot of the anime.
Zoro kept changing his sword moves.
Ghost Slayer, Iai·Lion Songge, Dragon Blade·Thunder...
But no matter what moves he uses, they are always easily broken by Hawkeye with the knife in his hand.
Even if Zoro has entered the Iron Cutting Realm, even if he has learned to use Pokémon energy...
However, in front of Hawkeye, he was still as fragile as a newborn baby.
Sauron's eyes flashed with reluctance, but it could not change any outcome.
Phew! ! !
Bright red blood suddenly spurted out, infecting Zoro's clothes.
Hawkeye frowned, looking at Zoro who was still attacking without hesitation even though he should have been able to avoid it, he couldn't help but ask:
"Do you want to be stabbed straight through the heart?"
"Ha~!" Sauron chuckled disdainfully: "It's just a fatal injury!"
Zoro didn't hesitate at all, completely ignoring the knife that was very close to his heart, and twisted his body hard.
The three long knives suddenly slashed at Hawkeye like a swift hurricane.
"What!?"
This time, it was Hawkeye's turn to look surprised.
He suddenly let go of the knife stuck in Zoro's body and stepped back.
But even so, Zoro's unexpected attack still caught up with his shadow.
Huh~!
A gust of sea breeze blew by, and the black top hat on Hawkeye's head suddenly flew up.
And on the brim of the hat, there were three smooth knife marks.
It was caused by Sauron's attack just now!
puff! ! !
Zoro suddenly pulled out the knife stuck in his chest and let the blood trickle out.
But he ignored it and threw the bloody knife into the sea with all his strength, and then grinned:
"Now, I should be qualified to ask you to pull out the black knife behind you!?"
