I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd had already retreated far away, and there was absolutely no cover.

Regarding this, Sieg only had one thing to say:

"Quickly, go and invite the Sword God Joseph and the Sword Saint Johnny! Aa ...

Bang bang bang bang!

The sound of the Emperor's engine grew louder and louder.

Feeling the immense pressure emanating from Sieg, Hawkeye's lips curled up slightly, revealing a rare smile.

Is the other side also eager for this showdown?

The moment I saw him, such a strong fighting spirit surged within me.

At this moment, Hawkeye felt a sense of kinship with Sieg, whom he had only met twice.

"Shanks is still a reliable guy. Next time we meet, I'll bring him a barrel of fine wine."

For Hawkeye now, it's difficult to find a worthy opponent who can rival him in swordsmanship.

To have one more person would be the greatest blessing of my life.

Gazing at Sieg, Hawkeye spoke in a deep voice:

"I never expected to encounter a swordsman like you in the weakest part of the East Sea."

"Sig, draw your sword. Let's have a duel."

Eagle Eyes stared intently at Sieg, his lips curling slightly as he reached for the black knife behind him with his right hand.

These words immediately caused an uproar in the crowded town square of Rogge.

"Hawkeye actually volunteered to challenge someone to a match?"

"That person's name is... Sig? Isn't that the name of that bandit who's been making headlines lately?"

"Hig, the bandit king of the East Blue? He's actually considered a worthy opponent by Hawkeye?"

At this moment, countless eyes in the square were fixed on Hawkeye and Sieg, who were locked in a standoff...

Sig felt as if a thousand eyes were about to pierce him, and he felt like he was being pricked by needles.

He sighed inwardly, lowered the hood of his cloak, and stared directly at Hawkeye, his aura surging like a tidal wave.

The two men, locked in a standoff, barely exchanged a few words before their momentum reached its peak!

Standing beside Sieg, Stussy also felt a surge of nervousness.

She was well aware of Sig's strength, and she also knew that Sig possessed a strange technique that resembled that of a power user.

But standing in front of Sieg right now is the world's number one swordsman!

If it were Hawkeye Mihawk, he could probably block Sieg's attack, right?

.........

In the square, the two men faced each other from a distance. Before they even drew their swords, the immense pressure forced the crowd to retreat again and again.

"Hearing about him is no joke! He truly is a powerful figure!"

"What kind of battle will this be?"

Witnessing Sieg's imposing presence, the crowd in the square no longer doubted him and secretly looked forward to his arrival.

Some people had already pulled out their Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and started calling their friends:

"Honey, come out and watch Hawkeye and Mountain Bandit King Sig's duel!"

"Brother, come quick! There's an amazing sword duel happening in the square!"

Amidst the attention and anticipation of the crowd, Sieg was also invigorated, and his gaze gradually became more resolute.

Finally, as if making a momentous decision, he said:

"I refuse!"

Hawkeye's momentum faltered slightly, while the onlookers erupted in uproar.

"reject?"

Did I hear that right?

Amidst the puzzled and astonished gazes of the crowd, Sieg stared intently at Hawkeye with a serious expression and asked:

"Hawkeye, you should know the current Marine Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr, right?"

Hawkeye frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by Sieg's intentions, but still nodded faintly.

Upon seeing this, Sieg continued to explain:

"Zeff has fought countless pirates throughout his life, but he has never killed a single one! He is known as the 'Non-Killing' Admiral!"

"And I, Sig, have fought countless battles throughout my life, and I actually share similar ideals with General Zephyr."

Sig tried his best to make his expression appear sincere, and patted the sword at his waist.

He put on a stern face and explained in a serious tone:

"My sword is the sword of justice, the sword of mercy! I fight only for the ideals in my heart."

"A duel between swordsmen? I refuse for that reason."

Upon hearing this, Chloe, who was standing next to Sieg, shuddered.

He looked down at his hands, which were still wrapped in heavy bandages, and suddenly felt a dull pain in them.

The crowd in the square, however, looked even more confused.

justice?

Isn't this what the navy always talks about and wears?

When did a notorious criminal with a total bounty of 400 million dare to claim he is righteous?

"You mere bandits dare to talk about justice? You are the one who is trampling on justice!"

"This is outrageous! In the name of justice, we are going to arrest you!"

From behind the crowd came several angry voices.

The marines from Loguetown arrived late, all with angry expressions, thoroughly infuriated by Sieg's words.

Vice Admiral Momousagi's expression was also not good, but he reached out to stop the Marines who wanted to capture Sig.

"You go and disperse the crowd. Hawkeye has already dealt with Sig."

Momousagi gave the order with a stern face.

To Momousagi, the outcome of this duel between swordsmen was not in any suspense.

If you were to intervene at this point and disrupt the duel, it might provoke Hawkeye's hostility.

The navy's task was simple: wait for the duel to end, then arrest Sieg, who was injured in the duel.

Or rather, the fact that Momousagi doesn't need to deal with the powerful Sigurd herself is actually a good thing for the Navy.

Chapter 124 Dead End

Rogge Town Port District.

The two young men, supporting each other, carefully emerged from the corner.

Johnny, are you alright?

Joseph touched the large, swollen bump on his forehead, feeling a slight pain.

They had just woken from their coma and had managed to escape from Sieg's ship by any means necessary.

"Joseph, we need to report Sig's appearance in Loguetown to the Navy immediately..."

Johnny, the man in sunglasses, responded.

However, when they turned the corner and stepped onto the main street, they saw countless pedestrians rushing into the depths of the town.

"What happened? Are pirates attacking Loguetown?"

Johnny and Joseph were both baffled and stopped a pedestrian to ask them questions.

"Don't pull me! The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, is dueling with Siegfried in the square of Loguetown!"

"This is bound to be a spectacular battle; if we don't go now, it'll be too late!"

The pedestrian being pulled by the two of them had a very conspicuous black and white panda head.

"What? A duel between Sieg and Hawkeye?"

Joseph and Johnny exchanged a glance, completely bewildered.

They originally intended to immediately report to the Navy that Sieg had arrived in Loguetown.

But now that even passersby know about it, there's no need to go anymore.

But... a duel between Hawkeye and Sieg?

Joseph, the hairy-legged man, lit a cigarette and puffed out clouds of smoke.

In the hazy smoke, his eyes seemed to have become somewhat wistful.

"A battle between the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk?"

Joseph muttered to himself, a cigarette between his fingers, the other hand across his waist, striking a pose as he pleased.

"Want to go see the might of the world's strongest swordsman? Sword Saint Johnny?"

Sword Saint Johnny...

This somewhat unfamiliar, yet flamboyant and embarrassing title left Johnny, the man in sunglasses, momentarily stunned.

However, after seeing Joseph's expression, he understood what was going on.

“Interesting. Hawkeye’s fighting skills are certainly worthy of our attention, as is Sword God Joseph.”

Johnny, the man in sunglasses, also had one hand on his hip and his fist resting on his chin, responding in a calm tone.

The two looked at each other and smiled.
