Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 419: Unexpected Victory, Sauron: I've done it! ? (Seeking monthly votes~)

Swish!
At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared on the deck of the Merry.

It was Robin who was just sent out by Red, and the world's greatest swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk who was brought back by her using teleportation.

"Long time no see, Senior Hawkeye."

Seeing the person coming, Chihong spoke first.

His voice also attracted the attention of all the Straw Hat players present.

"Hawkeye!"

Luffy and Zoro turned around suddenly, their eyes flashing as they looked at Hawkeye.

Although nearly two years have passed since their last meeting, Hawkeye has left too deep an impression on the Straw Hat Pirates.

After all, that was the first time their pirate group encountered a world-class strongman, and he was also the first one who made the entire Straw Hat Pirates try their best but still be helpless.

Hawkeye, who was suddenly brought here by Robin, was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became deep.

"The Straw Hat Pirates..."

Even though he had just experienced a humiliating shipwreck, when he appeared in front of others again, his aura instantly became stronger.

His stern face and taciturn behavior immediately cast a veil of mystery over him.

Of course, Hawkeye's character is not deliberately taciturn.

The main reason was that he really didn't know what to say.

Originally, he had received information that the Eternal Pointer to the Final Island might appear during this celebration.

So even though he had been stripped of his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and was being hunted by the navy, he still chose to take the risk and attend this celebration.

No matter how aloof a pirate is, no one can resist the temptation of the Final Island.

But on Kaido's ship, he had already watched everything the Straw Hat Pirates did on the Celebration Island through live broadcast.

He knew that there was no point in him staying here any longer.

Originally, when he jumped off the battleship of the Beasts Pirates, he actually wanted to find an empty corner, secretly find a small boat, and leave here in a decent manner.

Unexpectedly, before he even found half of his ship, he was captured here by Robin from the Straw Hat Pirates.

Now that he was trapped here, there was no way he could just leave.

"so……"

After a moment's silence, Hawkeye glanced at the Straw Hat Pirates' strongest fighters and asked slowly:

"Why did you call me here?"

"Don't be so cold, Senior Hawkeye."

Knowing that Hawkeye's personality is not as cold as he appears, Akagi smiled slightly, and then looked at Zoro behind him and told him not to worry.

"Now that the celebration has just ended, our pirate group has gained new members, and we have a rare reunion..."

"Why don't we sit down and have a good drink to celebrate this great day, what do you think?"

"Holding a party!?"

As a veteran pirate and good friend of Shanks, Hawkeye is not unfamiliar with the behavior of the Straw Hat Pirates.

But the next moment, his gaze turned to Zoro, who was almost unable to suppress his fighting spirit.

"It's really just a party."

Hawkeye was silent for a moment, and the Black Blade Night behind him seemed to be infected by Zoro's fighting spirit and began to tremble silently.

At this moment, he seemed to have understood why Chihong insisted on letting him come over.

"It's really amazing!"

Hawkeye sighed inwardly.

He could feel that although Zoro's sword power had not yet reached the level to compete with his own, it was definitely among the best in the world.

But that's true.

After all, he is capable of killing Akainu.

Even if there are some other forces supporting this, it is enough to prove that Zoro...

It has grown to the point where I have to look straight at it.

Even more frightening is...

Hawkeye turned his gaze and looked at Luffy who was holding Sanji and saying something.

It was as if there was some special switch. The Straw Hat Boy, who was originally on guard against himself, instantly lost his aura after hearing the three words "hold a party".

But Hawkeye knows that if Zoro's growth is amazing and he has reached the stage where he can be on par with himself, then Luffy's growth can only be described as "perverted"!
Who would have thought that this young man who drooled while ordering food would now become the strongest person in this ocean!!!
Different from ordinary pirates.

Hawkeye's understanding of the world situation is far better than that of the rest of the world.

At the same time, although he is alone, his intelligence gathering ability is also impressive, otherwise he would not be able to find out the secrets hidden in this pirate festival.

He already knew...

Straw Hat Boy Luffy killed the commander of the Knights of God, Ancient Saint Green not long ago!

Unlike Big Mom who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, Ancient Saint Grimm is a real top-level warrior. Like Whitebeard and Shanks, he is the strongest fighting force in the world.

But even so, in Luffy's hands, he didn't even have the chance to escape.

This is a bit too scary.

If it were me, would I be able to escape from the hands of Straw Hat Boy Luffy?
For a moment, Hawkeye fell into deep thought.

“Senior Hawkeye…Senior Hawkeye!?”

At this moment, a refreshing cry suddenly interrupted Hawkeye's thoughts.

He raised his head and saw the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Akagi, looking at him with a smile on his face.

For some reason, when Hawkeye met Chihong's calm eyes, he actually felt as if his heart was seen through.

The Straw Hat Pirates are truly terrifying and full of hidden talents!
Hawkeye's heart suddenly trembled, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm and asked:

"What's up!?"

"Nothing..." Chihong smiled lightly, and pulled over Zoro who had been waiting for a long time.

"It's just that the preparations for the banquet will take some time. Before that, Senior, would you like to consider doing some pre-meal exercises?!"

"For example, could you teach my partner about swordsmanship?"

"Guidance?" I knew it would be like this. Hawkeye raised his lips slightly and looked at Zoro calmly, "Is it really just guidance?!"

As he spoke, a powerful aura suddenly gushed out from his body, but it did not surge out to the surroundings like the domineering aura. Instead, it quickly restrained after it appeared, and finally seemed to condense in Hawkeye's sharp eyes.

Although he was shocked by the growth and strength of the Straw Hat Pirates, Hawkeye's title as the world's greatest swordsman was not just hyped up!

If he didn't even have the determination to face a strong enemy, how could he have reached his current position!
not to mention……

"You want me to be your stepping stone?!"

Hawkeye smiled and said directly to Red and Zoro:
"No need to resort to the trick of using courtesy before force!"

"You just want the name above my head, if you can do it, just come and try!!!"

"As expected of Senior Hawkeye, your aura is truly extraordinary!"

Chihong, who was able to see Hawkeye's current condition through the power of waves, immediately gave him a compliment.

Having seen too many strong men, he was not shocked by the aura displayed by Hawkeye at this time. But after a simple comparison, Chihong knew...

Without using MEGA evolution, with the power and means that Zoro currently possesses, it is almost impossible for him to defeat Hawkeye.

It seems that everything is as I expected.

Today's battle is just like the battle in the East China Sea back then, it is a test for Zoro, nothing more.

"Having said that, a battle between two of the world's top warriors would be a bit too deserted if there were no spectators."

Chihong chuckled in his heart, and a large amount of super power gushed out of his body.

In an instant, the treasure island that had been shattered by the battle just now was gathered together again under the power of the red super power, forming a new deserted island, which was located right in the center of the celebration venue.

"Huh?! What is that!?"

In the center of the already dilapidated venue, the pirates who had managed to escape and survived noticed the situation on the treasure island and immediately looked up with curiosity.

Soon they saw several figures walking out of the Merry in the sky and slowly landing on the treasure island.

"That's... the former Shichibukai Hawkeye Mihawk!? Why did he appear from the Straw Hat Pirates' ship!?"

"Hey, don't tell me... Even Hawkeye Mihawk chose to join the Straw Hat Pirates!?"

"Hehe... Jinbei the Sea Knight, Moriah the Gekko, and Hancock the Empress are all under the command of the Straw Hat Pirates now. So what's so strange about adding another Shichibukai?!"

"Anyway, he is just an abandoned pawn of the World Government and the Navy!"

"What's so weird about that!? Open your eyes wide! He's the world's greatest swordsman who can even fight the Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks!!!"

"You don't find it strange at all. Have you been spoiled by the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"Come on, you have nothing to do with the Straw Hat Pirates, can you not get too involved and show some surprise like an ordinary pirate!!!"

"........."

"........."

Because of Hawkeye's sudden appearance, all the pirates started a heated discussion again.

Three Shichibukai, a legendary pirate, and now the world's greatest swordsman...

If this continues, they will be embarrassed to call the Straw Hat Pirates the Four Emperors.

If it really doesn't work, let's try another way and just make you the king!
What the hell is this!!!

Fortunately, the scene they expected of Hawkeye joining the Straw Hat Pirates did not appear.

After the few people arrived at the Treasure Island, Roronoa Zoro, who had once killed the Navy Admiral, actually fought directly with Hawkeye on the Treasure Island.

In an instant, the entire treasure island and the surrounding areas were shrouded in endless and terrifying attacks.

Seeing this, the pirates suddenly understood...

It turns out that it wasn't Hawkeye who was summoned, but just an ordinary fighter of the Straw Hat Pirates who was challenging the world's greatest swordsman.

Although this ordinary fighter has a record of killing a navy admiral, this is at least more acceptable to them than Hawkeye joining the Straw Hat Pirates.

……

……

"Is this your greatest power!?"

"If that's all, then I don't think it will be long before I can go back to attend your party!"

Clang! ! !
Four sword blades that were entangled in the armed color domineering and stained into black swords suddenly collided with each other in mid-air, bursting into a dazzling flame.

Huh~! ! !

A gust of violent air suddenly surged up from behind the two men, transforming into a roaring sword storm that slashed towards the ground behind them.

In the blink of an eye, countless deep pits where sword energy passed through appeared on the ground that was already spliced ​​together.

The figures of Zoro and Hawkeye also separated.

Zoro, who was biting the Wado Ichimonji, relaxed his brows, but his eyes flashed with a mixture of fighting spirit and joy.

It has gone up! It has gone up!
It really went up!

At this moment, Zoro could clearly feel that by understanding Hawkeye's sword moves and sword intent, his understanding of the black sword was becoming more and more handy.

This is a pleasure that cannot be felt in ordinary battles!

More importantly, it was different from the battle against Nasujuro Seiji not long ago.

This time, Zoro could feel that his three long swords all had the tendency to evolve into black swords.

As Zoro is also a top swordsman, he can roughly guess the reason.

The black sword of Nasujuro Sei borrowed the characteristics of the demon sword. With endless murderous intent and slaughter, he naturally evolved the demon sword of the first generation Kitetsu into a stronger black sword.

It can be said that there are some tricks involved.

Therefore, Zoro can only absorb the energy emitted by a sword like the Sandai Kitetsu, which is also a demon sword, when fighting.

But Hawkeye's situation is completely different.

His sword style is extremely simple.

Use the strongest sword intent and the strongest blade to strike the strongest blow!

So when fighting with him, Zoro could clearly feel the most primitive and correct power of a swordsman.

This includes the process of refining the sword into a black sword.

So after absorbing and digesting it, it became Zoro's own black sword path.

Of course, these things are easier said than done.

But there are no more than a handful of people in the world who can achieve the same level as Zoro.

And there are only one or two people who have the opportunity to practice with Hawkeye.

"Want to see my strongest power!?"

After suppressing the joy in his heart, Zoro immediately responded to Hawkeye's provocation with a chuckle.

The next moment, the Pokémon energy in his body began to flow wildly.

boom! ! !
A terrifying aura suddenly gushed out from Zoro's body, sweeping in all directions.

In the void, it was as if a giant dragon roared, causing the surrounding space to become distorted.

Swish!
Zoro took a perfect stance, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly:
"Look! This is my strongest posture!!!"

The moment he finished speaking, Zoro's eyes were suddenly covered by an energy filled with a destructive aura, and his body also underwent slight changes.

But at this moment! ! !
"Uh~!!!"

Hawkeye, who was originally quietly waiting for Zoro to evolve, suddenly changed his expression and staggered forward.

The next moment, the power emanating from Zoro formed a violent hurricane and suddenly attacked Hawkeye.

And somehow Hawkeye was just like an ordinary adult. Facing Zoro's storm of momentum, he had no power to resist at all and the black sword "Night" in his hand was separated directly.

The whole person smashed towards a ridge behind like a cannonball, leaving spider-web-like cracks on the ridge.

Immediately, a stream of scarlet blood flowed from the corner of Hawkeye's mouth, and he pointed his finger at Zoro.

In the end, he choked with sobs and suddenly passed out.
