General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 421 The World's Number One Swordsman
"Help!"

Brooke, who was extremely panicked, didn't want his friend Rab, who had just reunited, to be killed by this strong man who suddenly appeared, so he couldn't help but let out a desperate cry.

"It's Hawkeye!" Jonathan frowned and looked, his hands subconsciously reaching into his waist, about to pull out the two soft knives wrapped around his waist.

But Rorschach was faster than him.

Everyone felt a violent wave of air blowing in front of them, and Rorschach beside them disappeared instantly.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Hawkeye's huge slash.

Facing this huge crescent-shaped slash hundreds of meters long, Luo Xia opened his big hands and his fingertips flashed with electric light.

On the small warship parked under the cliff, a black afterimage suddenly shot out and fell into his hand. He grasped it with five fingers, raised it with one arm, and made a swing to the huge flying slash. Smash.

"boom!"

Visible to the naked eye, in front of Rorschach, a huge depression instantly appeared in the air within a radius of several hundred meters, as if it had been exploded by thousands of tons of explosives.

The void seemed to have been destroyed by his blow.

The sunken atmosphere exploded and turned into a rolling impact, colliding with the flying slashes like a flash flood.

Then, a huge collision and roar sounded between Rorschach and Hawkeye.

The surging air waves caused by the collision of shock waves and slashes blew Brook, who was close, into a rolling gourd, and he rolled backwards without any chance of fighting back.

He didn't stop until his back was held down by Jonathan who was charging forward.

The violent vibrations of the air caused the sea currents that were constantly washing over the upside down mountain to be blown away by this terrifying force. A huge amount of sea water was lifted hundreds of meters high, hit the surrounding rock walls, and splashed out in all directions, as if It rained heavily in front of the lighthouse.

Under the sunlight, the misty water vapor quickly outlines a rainbow in the sky.

Behind Rorschach, a very human fear appeared in the giant eyes of Rab the Whale, and he quickly retreated away from the foot of Upside Down Mountain where the two of them were.

At this time, everyone in front of the lighthouse ran over.

Jonathan was the first to speak: "Mihawk! What are you doing? Why are you attacking Rab? As far as I know, you are not the kind of man who kills at will."

Hawkeye stood on the coffin boat, the black knife Ye in his hand was not taken back, and was still held in his hand.

He didn't answer Jonathan's words, he just looked up at Rorschach floating in the air.

When Luo Xia saw him looking at her, she couldn't help but curl her lips and chuckled: "I think the knife he just struck was aimed at me. Do you think so? Hawkeye."

"What? Why?" Jonathan's body shook, and he was very puzzled.

He knows Hawkeye quite well.

Although Hawkeye was young, he had the title of Navy Hunter.

That was the name he got when he was young and frivolous, wandering the sea to hone his swordsmanship. He caused damage to the town and attracted the navy to pursue him. He then killed him.

But after Hawkeye became famous, especially after he ascended to the throne of the world's number one swordsman, he seemed to be out of vulgar taste and rarely took action against the weak.

The person he wanted to challenge became the Sea Emperor.

For example, Red-haired Shanks, the fourth sea emperor of the New World, is Hawkeye's best friend, and the two often compete in duels.

Now, Rorschach said that Hawkeye's knife just now was actually aimed at him.

Could it be that Hawkeye is interested in Rorschach?
But it doesn't make sense, Luo Xia is not a swordsman.

Zoro stared directly at Hawkeye, his hand holding Qiu Shui trembling.

"The man with Hawkeye, he is the world's best swordsman, Hawkeye, Jorah Kormihawk! The strongest swordsman in the world, Kuina and I, the ones who want to surpass..."

As if feeling the gaze from Sauron, Hawkeye moved his eyes away from Rorschach and glanced at Sauron.

But it was only a brief glance before his eyes fell on the autumn water held in Sauron's hand.

"The dragon-slaying samurai's sword Shusui, and the other black sword. It's such a pity that I couldn't be born 200 years ago to compete with Shigetsuki Ryoma."

Hawkeye spoke calmly.

Zoro tightened his fingers on the handle of the autumn water knife, and blood vessels protruded on his arms.

He felt ignored by Hawkeye.

The other party was willing to focus most of his attention on the famous sword in his hand, and had no intention of taking another look at him.

It was obvious that the man in front of him looked down upon him.

"call."

The sound of wind blew, and Hawkeye's feet trembled. Together with the people and the boat, they broke away from the current at the foot of Upside Down Mountain and landed steadily on the cliff.

Luo Xia also fell from the sky, holding the increasingly dark and deep Tianlong Halberd in his hand.

The eagle's eyes once again fell on the Tianlong Halberd in his hand.

"The national treasure of the West Sea Flower Country, the ancient halberd that is said to be able to cut down thunder from the sky, looks like it is about to become a black sword."

He looked at Rorschach, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to pierce people's hearts and see through everything, which made Skylark, Hawkins and others feel even more stressed and did not dare to look at him at all.

"You are the Rorschach who emerged from the navy. I heard that you killed the Golden Lion. Is it true? How is his swordsmanship?"

Luo Xia raised his eyebrows and thought, no wonder he felt that he was targeted by Hawkeye's murderous intent just now. It turned out that the other party came to him because he was curious about this.

"Are you interested in the Golden Lion?" Rorschach asked without answering.

Holding the black knife, Hawkeye walked down from the boat and came not far in front of him. He shook off the water droplets on the long knife and said, "I am indeed very interested. I have long heard that the golden lion is the last one." The strongest swordsman of the era, I have always wanted to challenge him. Unfortunately, since he escaped from Impel Down, he has never appeared on the sea again. I thought I would have a chance to fulfill my long-cherished wish this time, but I didn't expect that, The majestic Flying Admiral Golden Lion will be beheaded by a teenage navy boy. So, I want to see if the 15-year-old navy lieutenant who was praised by Morgans has real skills."

"Ten...15 years old?" Zoro's eyes widened and he looked up at Rorschach in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that Luo Xia, who was nearly three meters tall, was only a 15-year-old boy.

Not only because of his height, the knife slashed by Hawkeye just now was also easily blocked by Luo Xia.

You don't need to experience how powerful that knife is, you can feel despair just from the violent airflow that hits it.

Zoro knew that that knife was probably an attack he could never resist.

No wonder Hawkeye didn't open his eyes to look at himself.

I am too weak now.

Zoro himself is actually not too old.

The 18th year has not yet arrived. The newspaper said that Rorschach was 15 years old, but in fact he was still 14 years old.

Zoro is considered to be 16 years old this year, almost 17 years old.

In other words, he is two years older than Rorschach.

Rorschach is the same age as Luffy.

Hearing Eagle Eye's words, Luo Xia said seriously: "The Golden Lion's swordsmanship is very powerful. He is the strongest among all the sword-wielding opponents I have encountered. I think, if it weren't for his old age and the Injuries, with my current strength, cannot kill him.”

Jonathan on the side flattened his mouth and said nothing.

He was indeed no match for the Golden Lion back then. "You are more humble than I expected. I originally thought that a young and successful person would be more inflated after taking off the head of a legendary pirate. Haha, it seems that the Navy has indeed harvested a good seed. "

Hawkeye raised the black knife in his hand and pointed it at Rorschach under Skylark's nervous gaze.

"I want to see what kind of strength a person who can kill a golden lion has."

Luo Xia lifted up the Tianlong Halberd in his hand and grinned, revealing his white teeth, "Really? I have long wanted to learn how to slash with the world's best swordsman. I think you should be one of the seven warriors under the king." , the strongest one, right? I have beaten two of the Shichibukai, and you are the third one."

The people nearby all opened their mouths.

What does it mean that two Shichibukai have already been beaten?

This tone is too loud, right?
However, considering the astonishing achievements that Luo Xia has achieved, it seems that these two Shichibukai are indeed a bit unsatisfactory.

Even the Golden Lion and Wang Zhi were killed by him.

The average Qibukai is really no match for him.

But this person in front of him is Hawkeye, who is recognized by the world as the world's greatest swordsman!

Can Rorschach really defeat him?
Jonathan felt uncertain and couldn't help but worry about Rorschach.

Among the people present, he was the only one who had fought against Hawkeye and knew how powerful Hawkeye really was.

The world's best slashing attack, flat A is the ultimate move, splitting the island and dividing the sea is just a basic move.

Hearing Rorschach's answer, a smile appeared on Hawkeye's face, and he turned and walked forward.

"Okay. Then..."

"and many more!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind.

Hawkeye was startled, turned around, and looked at Zoro who suddenly spoke.

Sauron suppressed his excitement and stepped out under the gaze of everyone. He walked up to Hawkeye, took a deep breath and said seriously: "Hawkeye! I want to challenge you!"

Rorschach glanced at Sauron in surprise.

According to the information he received from his headquarters, the reason why Hawkeye did not accept the call to participate in the G1 naval battle was because he was in the East China Sea.

He originally thought that the plot of Sauron challenging Hawkeye in the comics should have happened in advance.

I didn’t expect it to be staged here?
I'm quite looking forward to it.

Rorschach couldn't help but smile.

Hawkeye frowned slightly as he looked at Zoro walking out of the crowd, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I am serious! I went to sea just to find you!"

It could be seen that although he tried his best to restrain himself, Zoro was still very excited, and his voice even trembled a little when he spoke.

"Oh? Why?" Hawkeye's expression became indifferent.

Zoro pulled out Wado Ichimonji and another ordinary long sword from his waist, "In order to fulfill the agreement with his companions, in order to...become the strongest swordsman in the world!"

"Hmph, stupid guy."

Hawkeye turned around indifferently, not even looking at Zoro anymore, and walked straight into the distance.

Seeing him walking away, Zoro rushed forward impatiently, stopped in front of Hawkeye, and shouted: "Please! Fight with me! Hawkeye!"

"Get out of the way! You miserable weakling, I have no interest in fighting ants. If you are a first-class swordsman, then I think you should be able to feel the gap between you and me."

Hawkeye said, trying to walk past Zoro again.

Zoro gritted his teeth, biting Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, holding a long knife in each hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Hawkeye! I have a reason to defeat you!"

Hawkeye frowned, impatient in his heart, and his sharp golden pupils suddenly shrank.

The next second, Zoro, who was standing in front of him, seemed to be shot by an invisible force. A burst of blood burst out from his chest. He groaned, and his body rose up from the ground as if he had been hit by a cannonball, facing backwards. It fell seven or eight meters and hit the ground with a bang.

The long knife in his hand and the word "Wado" in his mouth fell to the ground.

He was lying on his back on the ground, gasping for breath, feeling as if all the bones and muscles in his body were being penetrated and scattered by this glance.

Just being looked at by Eagle Eye made him unable to bear it. He flew backwards for seven or eight meters and couldn't get up from the ground for a long time.

This sudden change made everyone behind him stunned.

Luo Xia was also confused.

He was still waiting for Zoro to say the famous saying, 'The scar on the back is a swordsman's shame'.

result……

Hawkeye doesn't play by the rules.

"Green algae head! Are you okay?" Sera ran over quickly, squatted down and tried to lift Zoro who was lying on the ground, but was pushed away by him.

Sauron gritted his teeth, turned over, supported the ground with his hands, stood up little by little, and looked at Hawkeye who walked past indifferently with red eyes.

He held his hands tightly, letting his fingernails pierce into his palms, and bright red blood flowed from between his fingers.

"The gap...is it really that big?"

Thinking of the agreement with Kuina, Zoro felt endless reluctance welling up in his heart.

How many days and nights I slashed with my sword, how many mornings and duskes I bit into a stone bucket, honing my bite until I couldn’t close my mouth. How many times I sat in front of Kuina’s tombstone and promised her that I would definitely do it. With the long sword she left behind, she ascended to the throne of the world's strongest swordsman.

But now...

Now I finally found this eagle-eyed man who wanted to challenge me.

As a result, he didn't even force the opponent's knife out.

Just one look from the other party, and he was completely defeated beyond what he could bear.

"Boy, there is nothing wrong with pursuing your dreams, but you cannot be a frog in the well or a clown. People must be self-aware."

Hawkeye continued to walk further away and dropped a word, leaving Sauron stunned in place.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and patted his shoulder.

Zoro was startled, looked up, and saw Rorschach looking at him with a smile.

"Don't be discouraged, Zoro. You are a man that even Rorschach recognizes. You may not think he is strong, but he is just taking a few steps. You just need to stick to your heart and move forward firmly along the path you pursue. , sooner or later he will reach or even surpass his height."

With that said, Rorschach bent down and picked up Wado Ichimonji and Qiushui from the ground, and stuffed them into Zoro's arms.

"You are still very young. Don't forget that he is more than 20 years older than you. He is old enough to be your father. I believe that one day, with the promise of your partners and these two knives, you will surpass That cold guy, standing on top of the world.”

He reached out again and patted the stunned Sauron, twisted his neck, and walked towards Hawkeye with the Tianlong Halberd in hand.

"Now, let me help you find your place."
