The harder Usopp brags, the more invincible I become!

The sea.

Hawkeye stood on his small boat, looking down at the black knife that fell to the ground.

It seemed that he had not yet recovered from his shock, and he was defeated.

Although he was not injured, as a swordsman, he could not even hold his own sword.

If that was not defeat, then what was it?

Thinking of this, he looked up at Xia Zhu.

This man, in a trance, seemed to make him see the master he learned from when he was a child.

He was so strong that he could not catch up.

However, isn't the constant pursuit of strength his goal all along?

In the way of kendo, having someone stronger than himself is exactly what he has been looking forward to.

With this thought, Hawkeye Mihawk became thoughtful.

On the other side.

On the Pluto.

Xia Zhu stepped on the moon step and landed lightly back on the boat.

He raised his hand to take a look at the long sword that had been rolled up, and then threw it into the sea without caring.

His sword was really too ordinary, and it was still far behind Hawkeye's world-famous sword.

This battle was won entirely by superb sword skills.

The move he used was one of the unique skills of Roronoa Zoro, the man who ate the naming fruit in the protagonist group. This one-sword killing move, which is called"too sexy", is really shocking!

Zoro once used this move to kill the snow woman with the natural devil fruit in one second, creating one of the famous scenes in the pirate world. This move is so powerful.

Such a move, in Xia Zhu's hands, is naturally even more powerful.

With his understanding of the master-level Baihui swordsmanship, plus the power of the full level 9999, the sword he cut out has even surpassed the scope of mortal swordsmanship. Even if Hawkeye has the blessing of the supreme sword, the night, he can't resist it.

It's not that Hawkeye is not strong.

It's that Xia Zhu is too abnormal.

That Baihui swordsmanship brings together all the general principles of swordsmanship in the world.

It even includes some long-lost swordsmanship.

Normally, this is something that no one can do.

Not to mention that Xia Zhu has a power comparable to Garp, and every sword is powerful.

In this case, it is not surprising that Hawkeye is no match for Xia Zhu.

How can a human compete with a monster?

It is reasonable that he cannot defeat the monster.

Hawkeye's defeat is not unfair.

"Brother Xia Zhu is invincible!"

"Long live Brother Xia Zhu!"

Seeing the sword energy in the air dissipate, Usopp got up from the ground and surrounded Xia Zhu, cheering. He even took out two pairs of chopsticks from somewhere, inserted them into his nostrils and mouth, and made funny movements, which made many people laugh.

"This matter is over, let's go."

Xia Zhu touched Usopp's head, a smile appeared on his face, and he commanded the whole team to continue sailing.

From beginning to end, he didn't pay any attention to Hawkeye, and completely treated him as a transparent man, completely ignoring the past.

This was a treatment Hawkeye had never had before.

After all, he was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! He was also the world's number one swordsman!

No matter where he appeared, he was the well-deserved focus.

Being ignored like this was really the first time in his life.

Hawkeye looked at the busy people on the boat, and they really didn't pay any attention to him at all.

This made him pick up the long sword, and he couldn't stand or sit on the boat.

The reason why he was so irritable and no longer calm was because his state of mind was gone.

The invincible swordsman's heart was completely cracked with Xia Zhu's earth-shaking knife.

The only way to repair it is to give him back in his own way.

Only by defeating Xia Zhu can you... Zhu, can make him regain his confidence!

After all, there is a saying.

The best way to face fear is to defeat it!

Now, the only problem is... his swordsmanship has reached its limit!

In other words, it has reached a bottleneck period.

If you want to defeat Xia Zhu, you must break through this bottleneck period to make your swordsmanship go further.

Hawkeye has no way to deal with this.

Over the years, he has traveled all over the world and the Grand Line, visiting and asking for advice from countless top swordsmen.

He is sure that before he met Xia Zhu, he was the number one swordsman.

And he himself can't find a way to break through, so how can he defeat Xia Zhu?

Unless... go and learn swordsmanship from that man!

Thinking of this, Hawkeye looked at the Great Xia Pirates that were gradually sailing away. His old face flushed again and again.

Finally.

He seemed to have made up his mind, plucked up the courage, and chased after him.

"Captain, that Hawkeye is here again."

Dirrell stood on the deck and looked back, then whispered in Xia Zhu's ear:

"I know."

Xia Zhu nodded.

This was all within his expectations.

It was impossible to subdue the proud Hawkeye as a subordinate.

Unless he volunteered!

That's why Xia Zhu made such a series of indifferent actions. He seemed aloof, but in fact he was being distant.

Poor Hawkeye, he didn't know he had taken the bait.

"Can you tell me your name?"

Hawkeye came uninvited. As soon as he got on the boat, he ignored everyone and stared at Xia Zhu.

This was the third time he asked Xia Zhu's name.

"Sure, my name is Xia Zhu."

Xia Zhu didn't hide it this time.

He was afraid that if he continued playing, Hawkeye's mentality would completely collapse.

"Summer Bamboo……"

Hawkeye murmured the name in a low voice.

After a long time, he knelt down heavily in front of Xia Zhu!

Yes, he knelt down!

Hawkeye kowtowed deeply to Xia Zhu and shouted with all his might:"Xia Zhu, please teach me swordsmanship!"

Seeing this familiar scene.

Xia Zhu suddenly drew up a malicious smile at the corner of his mouth, and slowly said:"Hawkeye, I really misjudged you. You ask your enemy to teach you swordsmanship? Aren't you shameless?"

""Get out, boring man!"

Hearing these words, Hawkeye, whose head was knocked on the floor, clenched his teeth.

But he still shouted,"Please, I want to become stronger!"

"Haha, there is nothing I can teach a coward who can't even block my sword. Xia Zhu was unmoved.

"Sooner or later I will catch your sword, and then your head!"

Hawkeye's voice was cold but revealed a firm belief.

"Interesting, since you regard me as an enemy, why do you still beg me to teach you?"

Xia Zhu looked at Hawkeye up and down and asked with interest.

"To surpass you!"

Hawkeye's eyes suddenly revealed a determined light, and he looked at Xia Zhu without any hesitation.

At this moment, the whole ship was silent.

It seemed that only Xia Zhu and Hawkeye who was kneeling in front of him were left in the world.

After a long time, Xia Zhu clapped his hands.

"History is so remarkably similar."

The scene of Hawkeye becoming a disciple touched Xia Zhu a lot.

Because this scene also appeared in the original work.

But the characters were different.

That time it was Zoro who became Hawkeye's disciple, not Hawkeye who became Xia Zhu's disciple.

Now the facts have proved that even if the roles are reversed, Hawkeye still has the same magnanimity! He is worthy of being the world's number one swordsman.

This attitude of not being ashamed to ask questions is touching.

He raised his head and waved at Hawkeye pretending to be cold.

"Hold your sword, I don't need cowards on my ship."

After saying that, he turned and looked at the sea, no longer paying attention to him.

When Hawkeye heard this, he was immediately delighted.

This man really accepted him!

This meant that he could pursue a higher level of swordsmanship!

At this moment.

The famous Hawkeye was as happy as an eight-year-old baby.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully recruiting! Your power has been expanded!"

"Ding! The strong recruitment system has been successfully opened!"

The system's prompt sound also sounded at this moment.
