One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

Hawkeye's lips curled into a smirk, his longsword already pointed directly at Ian. "There's no more sincere self-introduction than a fight."

"Is that so?"

Ian reached back and ran his hand through his hair. "I just can't do anything with you."

No wonder he was once a naval hunter.

Its main selling point is simplicity and directness.

"Then let's get to know each other properly."

I'm guilty, orz

Chapter 158 Fierce Battle! Frost Moon! Invitation to Join the Fellow Path!

2024-07-08

"Are we going to fight someone like Hawkeye right after arriving in the East China Sea?"

Luo's expression was somewhat complicated. "This is quite a spectacle."

The first enemy they faced was the number one swordsman; to be honest, it was a truly impressive lineup.

"Is that guy really that strong?"

Violet asked in a low voice.

"Among all those in the world who consider themselves swordsmen,"

Jack said calmly, "He should be the most powerful."

Using a sword as a weapon is a different concept from being a true swordsman.

Hawkeye is widely recognized as the strongest swordsman.

"Is it so powerful?"

Violet was speechless.

The strongest swordsman?

She had only heard the title of "strongest" from three people: the strongest man, Whitebeard; the strongest woman, Charlotte Linlin; and the strongest creature, Kaido.

Could this man be a powerful expert on par with those three?

"Can Ian win?"

She couldn't help but ask.

Then, he was met with two burning gazes.

Yamato and Hancock both turned to look at her.

Violet felt a chill run down her spine. "W-what did you do?"

"Ian will not lose!"

The way of Yamato is natural and inevitable.

"That's right!"

Hancock, unusually, shared Yamato's opinion: "Ian is the strongest!"

Hawkeye's lips curled slightly, and he asked with interest, "The strongest?"

Ian coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, "The kid doesn't know any better, he was just joking."

"Then let me see the strongest!"

Hawkeye held his long sword diagonally downwards, its sharp blade gleaming coldly.

You won't listen to what people say, huh?

but.

Ian noticed.

The knife in Hawkeye's hand hadn't turned black yet; the blade was still white.

Has the black blade not been forged yet?

Therefore, his strength is still somewhat inferior to that of the top-tier monsters.

Once he forges the Night Blade into the world's number one black blade, he will become a truly top-tier powerhouse in the world.

"Don't rush, let's fight somewhere else."

Ian said, "It wouldn't be good to destroy the execution platform if we're fighting here."

Hundreds of years from now, this execution platform will likely be a historical relic; it would be such a pity to destroy it like this.

"it is good."

Hawkeye readily agreed.

He didn't want to destroy the execution platform either.

After all, he came here to witness Roger's execution ceremony and the opening of the Great Pirate Era.

It can be said that this execution platform was the beginning of everything.

The final duel location was chosen to be on the sea outside Loguetown. Yamato used his ability to create a huge ice field, providing the venue for the two of them.

"Don't attack downwards."

Ian stamped his foot. "It's sturdy, but it's still too fragile for us."

"Is it okay?"

Hawkeye chuckled and said, "No matter what, this is still on the sea."

But Ian is a power user.

"I can fly."

Ian unbuttoned his collar and loosened his tie slightly. "Just don't feel it's unfair."

"I'm not that cowardly."

Hawkeye brandished his longsword. "Then—"

laugh! !

A sudden gust of wind swept out, causing the onlookers to squint.

"bring it on."

Ian waved to him.

Whoosh!

The air was pierced in an instant, and streaks of emerald green slashes shot through the air like missiles.

Ian’s eyes flashed red, and he casually took a step, easily dodging Hawkeye’s slash.

"Amazing Observation Haki!"

The ice beneath their feet shattered, and Eagle Eye arrived like a whirlwind.

Ian simply pointed and said, "Surtur, battle mode."

"Yes! Master!"

The fire spirit that had been perched on his shoulder was instantly sent flying, and in the next instant, it swelled into a golden giant over twenty meters tall. "Turn to ashes!"

"Divine Fist Smash!!"

A surge of flames erupted from its fist, while simultaneously, within Surtur, the flames compressed and expanded, propelling its fist to roar forth.

"Ok?"

Hawkeye, who was rushing towards them, stopped and his expression changed slightly.

what is this?

A creation of fire? Yet it possesses its own consciousness?

"Don't worry about it, this is my clone."

Ian laughed, "It shouldn't count as two against one, right?"

"interesting."

Hawkeye's mouth curled up.

rub!

The next instant, a brilliant blade of light, like a crescent moon, instantly severed Surtur's fist and the flames wrapped around it.

"Well!"

Surtur's expression changed slightly.

"Is it not working?"

Hawkeye muttered to himself, "No physical form?"

brush!

The blade flashed, leaving behind countless spatial rifts in the air, as dense as a fishing net.

Surtur was shattered into pieces in that instant, like a Lego set collapsing.

"Completely useless!!"

All the cracks healed in the next instant, Surtur returned to normal, opened his mouth, and a blazing golden pillar of fire surged down, "Turn to ashes!"

Hawkeye's lips curled into a smirk as he swung his sword backhand, severing the heads of both the fire pillar and Surtur. "Didn't you say not to attack the Icefield?"

A large portion of the ice field beneath their feet had melted, but there was no standing water, as it had all evaporated.

"how,"

Ian raised an eyebrow. "Because you can't do anything about Surtur?"

"No way?"
