One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

Using the Overlord's Embrace technique is quite physically demanding.

“Those two brats have come to see us for three days in a row,”

Ian glanced back at a patch of grass not far from the shore. "Or, should we give them a chance?"

"Humph."

Hawkeye merely snorted, showing no interest whatsoever in replying.

That's really something. I was afraid you wouldn't believe me when I told you, Mihawk. That little green-haired brat is the man who will surpass you in the future.

However, Mihawk's strength has not yet reached its peak, so he probably isn't thinking about waiting for someone to surpass him.

Ian stood up, turned around, and said, "Stop staring at the kids, come here."

Hawkeye frowned slightly. "What do you want to do?"

"Fulfill the children's simple wishes."

Ian said calmly, "That's all."

The grass over there trembled slightly.

then.

"Hey! Kuina!"

Accompanied by the somewhat suppressed voice of a boy, a blue-haired girl strode out and approached with a resolute expression.

Then, the green-haired boy gritted his teeth and followed.

Oh, so Kuina is the more reckless one? Zoro is actually the one acting as the brake between the two.

"Hawkeye!"

Kuina, carrying the Wado Ichimonji, strode up to Hawkeye and declared, "Come and duel with me!!"

Hawkeye acted as if he hadn't heard anything, silently gazing at the distant horizon.

"Hey! You guy!"

Seeing his childhood friend being ignored, Zoro couldn't help but get angry. "Isn't this just too disrespectful?"

despise?

No, no.

They didn't even glance at it.

Hawkeye didn't even glance at the two of them, and simply rested on his own.

Kuina, somewhat unwilling to give up, placed her right hand on her chest and loudly introduced herself, "I know you look down on us country swordsmen! But the adults in the dojo are no match for us! Our swordsmanship is far more powerful than you imagine."

amazing!

Ian thought to himself.

However, this was said to Mihawk.

He was almost laughing out loud at what the little girl was saying, but Mihawk, that bastard, kept a cold face as if he hadn't heard a thing.

That ability to keep one's composure is something I can't match.

“Let’s do it!!”

Zoro could no longer contain himself and drew his sword, charging towards Hawkeye.

but.

Ian casually reached out and grabbed his wrist, chuckling, "Don't get too excited, kid. Mihawk is already pretty annoyed."

If you really piss him off, he might actually beat those two brats up. Mihawk isn't exactly a man who respects the elderly and cares for the young.

"Let go of Zoro!!"

Kuina instantly drew her sword and aimed it at Ian.

She didn't know much about Ian, only that he was a very powerful pirate.

However, during the past three days of spying, I have consistently witnessed this man being brutally beaten by Hawkeye, which means that he is definitely far inferior to Hawkeye!

Since we've already decided to challenge Hawkeye, how could we possibly be afraid of someone who's not as good as Hawkeye!

A perfect logical chain.

Ian's lips curled up, and he gently tossed the green algae head back into his hand. "Since Mihawk is unwilling to duel with you, then let me play with you instead."

Hawkeye gave a soft snort.

This guy is so incredibly boring.

"what?"

Guina was taken aback.

Zoro, who staggered to his feet, said with a hint of disdain, "Who wants to fight Hawkeye's defeated opponent? We're going to become the world's greatest swordsmen!"

"My general is defeated?"

Ian tilted his head. "Mihawk, they say I'm your defeated opponent. What do you say?"

"Don't get too cocky, Ian."

Hawkeye finally spoke, "When I forge the Black Blade, that will be the moment I surpass you."

It really is.

The black blade was forged from Haki, and its strength might be exaggerated; even destructive flames might not be able to destroy it directly.

"Surpass?"

Guina froze, staring blankly at Ian.

Hawkeye said he wanted to surpass him, which means he's not as good as him now, right?

Is this man even stronger than the strongest swordsman?

"No matter what, as long as I defeat you, I can challenge Hawkeye, right!"

Zoro didn't quite understand at all, but he was still very excited.

"No no no,"

Ian shook his head slightly. "If you can defeat me, then it will be Mihawk's turn to challenge you."

"Then let's lose!!"

Zoro rushed up immediately.

At this point, he hadn't even started using dual swords yet; he gripped the swords with both hands and moved with agility.

then.

Ian casually flicked his finger, which landed on the green-haired brat's forehead, sending the guy flying backward like a cannonball.

"Zoro??"

Kuina looked back in disbelief.

One finger?

"how?"

Ian chuckled and said, "Aren't you going to attack?"

Kuina gritted her teeth.

"what!"

With a roar, she gripped the knife with both hands, raised the blade high, and charged at Ian in the most standard upper stance, ready to deliver a brutal New Year's greeting swordsmanship to him.

Ian simply extended a finger, and the fingertip easily blocked Kuina's blade.

"How can it be!!"

The genius swordswoman's face contorted in shock.

Wado Ichimonji is a famous sword of the Great Grade Sword level!

With his own slash, how could it possibly be blocked by a single finger?

Are his fingers made of iron?

Iron!

Girl, I used an iron block.

Ian champions gender equality, and since he already defeated Zoro, he can't show favoritism to this girl.

Before Kuina could react, the finger that had blocked her sword blade had already touched her forehead.

Then, she flew away too.

"Humph,"
