One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

Koushirou's hand instinctively rested on the hilt of his sword at his waist. "Ian of the Burning Heaven, what do you want to do?"

"I'm here to find a man,"

Ian said, "You should be familiar with Shimotsuki Kozaburo, the foremost swordsmith in Wano Country back in the day."

Koushirou's expression turned serious.

He was not only familiar with him, but that was his father.

So, they really came for the Shimotsuki family?

Koushirou was inwardly groaning.

His father left Wano Country forty years ago.

Since then, I have had no further connection with that country.

But now, people are still coming to our door because of the surname Shuangyue.

Noticing the guy's expression, Ian couldn't help but laugh.

That's a bit too self-important, I suppose.

who do you think You Are?

If it weren't for your green-haired apprentice who also helps Mihawk repair his sword, do you think Ian would have graced us with his presence?

"Teacher! We're here!"

At that moment, a gasp came from behind Koushirou.

Koushirou's expression changed drastically.

Ian, however, curled his lips into a smile.

Koushirou suddenly turned around, and behind him, the disciples he had called away to take refuge rushed back in unison.

Leading the group were his beloved daughter Kuina and his nephew and beloved apprentice Zoro.

"Kuina! Zoro! What are you doing?!"

Koushirou trembled with rage. "Didn't I tell you to take refuge?"

These two little ones are also descendants of the Shimotsuki family.

"How can we let you face the pirates alone, teacher!"

The green-haired child shouted, "Teacher, you look so frail!"

"Dad isn't weak at all!"

The blue-haired girl beside him retorted, then said earnestly, "But Dad! We can fight alongside you too! Even the adults in the dojo are no match for us!"

Even the usually mild-mannered Koushirou wanted to curse at this moment.

Now is not the time to be willful, kids!

Your opponent is not someone you can imagine!

"Ok?"

Roronoa Soron, the boy with the green hair, who was not yet nine years old, tilted his head and suddenly noticed the people behind the teacher.

Especially the man carrying a large sword, wearing a top hat, and with sharp, eagle-like eyes.

"Hawkeye!"

Zoro blurted out those two words instantly.

"Hawkeye?"

The blue-haired girl, Kuina, exclaimed in surprise at first glance, "It really is Hawkeye! The world's greatest swordsman!"

The boy and girl exchanged a glance.

then.

With one voice, the two charged forward.

"Hawkeye! If I defeat you, I'll be the strongest! Come and duel with me!"

Innocent today!

Chapter 160 Shimotsuki Kozaburo! Punching the Kid

2024-07-08

The two children couldn't wait to challenge Hawkeye.

Hawkeye's eyes narrowed slightly as he swept them across the two children's faces. Then, he casually raised his eyes, remaining expressionless and silent.

"Hey! Hawkeye!"

Seeing that he didn't respond at all, Zoro got impatient. He was really impatient. He even gripped the real sword that Kuina had taken from the dojo's warehouse and pointed it at Mihawk. "Come and duel with me!"

"No, it's about to have a showdown with me!"

Kuina stepped forward and declared loudly.

She wants to prove that even women can be the strongest!

However, Hawkeye no longer had any interest in even glancing at them.

Shimotsuki Koshiro finally snapped out of it and rushed forward to hug the two kids. "Stop fooling around, Zoro and Kuina! Now is not the time for you to act up!"

"But Dad!"

Kuina was still struggling, crying out, "That's Hawkeye!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Zoro shouted in extreme frustration, "The world's greatest swordsman is right in front of us! How can we pretend we didn't see him?!"

You all know that's Hawkeye, the world's number one swordsman!

He is not an opponent you can even approach right now!

Koushirou took a few steps back with the two children in his arms, handed them over to the other disciples, and then turned back around.

Hawkeye simply spoke calmly, "Shimotsuki Kozaburo, is that the swordsmith you mentioned?"

This was clearly said to Ian.

Ian smirked and chuckled, "Didn't you hear what the kids were saying, Mihawk? They said they want to duel you. How about you grant their wish?"

“I am not like those so-called kind seniors.”

Hawkeye simply said, "I have no interest in playing with brats. What I need are real, formidable opponents."

"Oh."

Ian chuckled, “How cold-blooded.”

But he also understands.

Although Mihawk is a close friend of Shanks, he is not as easygoing as Shanks.

He was arrogant and aloof, one could say he was extremely haughty, and there were very few people in the world who could be respected by him.

It's really asking too much of a guy like that to play with children.

"In this case,"

Ian stepped forward. "I'll be blunt, where is Shimotsuki Kozaburo?"

"We left Wano Country a long time ago and have nothing to do with that country. Your Beasts Pirates don't need to exterminate us!"

Koushirou gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and said seriously.

In the end, he had never even returned to Wano Country and had no sense of belonging to that country. Was he really going to die for such a reason?

It might even implicate his disciples and daughter?

This is absolutely ridiculous! Koushirou cannot accept this.

The sharp blade is about to be drawn in the next instant.

However, that next moment never came.

Ian gripped Koushirou's wrist, pressing his sword firmly into its sheath.

what?

Koushirou's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils trembling.

How could such a thing happen!

I didn't even realize it!

Forget about breaking free, my wrist feels like it's about to be crushed!

This is Ian, the Heaven-Burning One!

What kind of monster is it?

"dad!!"

Behind them, Kuina couldn't help but scream.

Zoro looked completely bewildered. "What just happened?"

How did that guy appear in front of the teacher in an instant?

"Kill them all?"

Ian said calmly, "Really, don't be so arrogant."

Koushirou is actually quite strong, even stronger than Jack, and should be considered overwhelmingly powerful in this part of the East Blue.

However, this level of skill was so poor that Ian wouldn't even give it a second glance.

They're utterly insignificant. Do you really expect guys of this caliber to launch a counterattack on Wano Country and crush the Beasts Pirates?

Koushirou was taken aback.
