Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

The blind swordsman's strength is even more exaggerated, no less than that of a Marine Admiral.

This would be a noticeable presence anywhere...

Nicole Robin is also a historian who can read ancient texts.

The "Void Century" recorded in the official history is something the World Government needs to erase, and it was used to destroy Ohara...

With just these three, the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group is already a force to be reckoned with!

"A gang of only six people giving me such a dangerous feeling, that's really..."

Aokiji exhaled a breath of cold air.

He scratched his head: "But now that I know about the black-haired swordsman's companion, I need to send someone to investigate..."

"Hopefully, another troublesome guy won't pop up..."

That's all Aokiji could hope for.

Having three is already quite alarming.

If another noteworthy person were to appear, the Black-haired Swordsman's Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group would truly be in a difficult situation to handle...

What troubled Aokiji even more at this moment was...

Hawkeye suddenly appeared beside him and said, "Because of you, my sparring with the black-haired swordsman has been stopped. I'm a little annoyed now, Admiral Aokiji..."

Aokiji: "..."

"Oh dear, Lord Mihawk, this has nothing to do with me, does it?"

"It's perfectly reasonable for the navy to pursue criminals, but disturbing your sparring session is not my intention..."

Faced with Hawkeye's questioning, Aokiji could only say that.

He wasn't afraid of Hawkeye, but he also didn't want to be given an excuse to be forced into a fight.

It's completely meaningless.

He was a Marine Admiral, and his opponent was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

"You know my personality, Admiral Aokiji."

Hawkeye slowly drew his black sword, Yoru, from his back, pointing it directly at Aokiji: "If a swordsman's heart is not clear, it will affect my path of swordsmanship..."

Aokiji: "..."

"This is truly a headache. Could you please be lenient and do me a favor?"

"No, but since I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, I ask Admiral Aokiji to accept my three sword strikes..."

Hawkeye said calmly.

With a raised hand, a sword slashed down, the dark green blade tearing through the air!

"I shouldn't have gone on this mission..."

Aokiji felt bitter inside.

What kind of mess is this...?

Let's not even mention the injury he suffered at the hands of the black-haired swordsman.

Now even Hawkeye is going to cause him trouble.

He knew Hawkeye's personality; if he said three swords, the other guy would definitely swing three swords...

No matter how helpless he felt, he had no choice but to take action!

'boom!'

'boom!'

'Boom!'

The two exchanged three moves in three exchanges.

Each time, the commotion was bigger and bigger than the last.

The final collision even split and froze the sea, leaving those who had not yet left terrified and dumbfounded once again...

I have absolutely no idea why Hawkeye and Aokiji would fight each other.

And the commotion was so great.

This also made many people aware of the terrifying strength of the top experts in the ocean!

……

After half an hour.

After dealing with some pirates on Asuka Island, Aokiji returned to his warship.

Recalling what had happened today, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably...

I really want to say, "What a tragedy..."

Then Aokiji took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed the number.

Soon, a voice came through the Den Den Mushi: "This is Sengoku."

Aokiji reported into the Den Den Mushi: "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I've contacted the black-haired swordsman and invited him to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but he refused..."

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi before the person calmly spoke: "Tell me the details."

"Aska Island... The Seven Star Sword was obtained by the Black-Haired Swordsman... Nico Robin, the 'Demon Child,' was a companion of the 'Black-Haired Swordsman,' Rocks... I was injured after the conflict... The Blind Swordsman... The Black Winged Demon Adventurer's Guild..."

Aokiji recounted everything that had happened in detail, and also shared some of his own speculations...

Aokiji didn't mention the three-move exchange he had with Hawkeye.

There's no need to say it.

Hawkeye is no ordinary Shichibukai.

The opponent, who was once a "Naval Hunter," was invited by the World Government to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

This is enough to demonstrate the importance that world governments attach to Hawkeye.

Not to mention that he only exchanged three blows with him and did not suffer any major losses.

Even if Hawkeye kills a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, the World Government will not remove Hawkeye from his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

It's not that Hawkeye needs the title of Shichibukai, but rather that the World Government needs Hawkeye to become one of the Shichibukai...

"..."

Sengoku's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened to the Den Den Mushi.

He would doubt the accuracy of the information if it wasn't reported to him by Aokiji.

Nico Robin, the "Devil's Child," is an ally of Rocks, the "Black-Haired Swordsman"...

The black-haired swordsman was able to injure Aokiji, suggesting he might be some kind of Mythical Zoan-type Beast with the ability to regenerate severed limbs...

A blind swordsman who may have eaten a Devil Fruit related to gravity possesses combat strength comparable to a Marine Admiral...

The black-haired swordsman refused the invitation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even uttered words that sounded like a declaration of war...

These events left Zhan Guo stunned, and his face grew increasingly grim as he listened.

Are all these things really related to a novice?

According to their intelligence, "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks' voyage will only last about three months at most!

In three months, how many incidents has the other party caused?

Their strength has grown so great that even a Marine Admiral cannot defeat them...

the most important is.

The black-haired swordsman's ship only had six people, yet he had already left even a Marine Admiral helpless...

After processing this information, Sengoku spoke up again: "Do all the members of the Black Wing Demon Pirates have photos left behind?"

Aokiji corrected, "Marshal Sengoku, they call themselves an adventurer's group..."

"An adventurer's group? A maritime crime syndicate led by a criminal with a bounty of 880 million Berries, and you're calling them adventurers?"

Sengoku scoffed, "Adventurers aren't put on bounties!"

Roger's behavior was more like that of an adventurer, but due to his threatening nature, he could only be classified as a pirate.

Pirates are criminals who are wanted, threatening, and sailing the seas!

The Warring States period did not care about these titles.

But we need to remind ordinary people at sea.

Adventure crews and pirate crews are two different concepts.

It cannot be blurred.

Adventurer crews pose no threat to ordinary people, but pirate crews do.

This is both a reminder and a warning...

Aokiji corrected him again: "The Sengoku Fleet Admiral is 450 million Berries..."

Sengoku's face darkened: "The next bounty will be 880 million Berries!"

"Since we've rejected the invitation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, we don't need to suppress the bounty amount. We need to spread the word about their wickedness to the world through the bounty poster!"

The Navy had already lost face once because of the issue of the black-haired swordsman's bounty, so this is a good opportunity to correct it...

He's already come up with a reason.

The reason why the black-haired swordsman was given a price of 450 million Berries was to invite him to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

It's not true that "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks is only worth 450 million Berries.

As is well known, the navy is required to obey the orders of the world government.

The navy dared not disobey the orders from the World Government.

The black-haired swordsman has now rejected the invitation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which means he has also rejected the World Government's attempts to win him over.
