I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

“It seems he has grown up as well,” Kuina said softly, gazing at Zoro.

The person who was supposed to die, now witnesses his childhood friend's shining moment... This unexpected path makes Sieg feel a little emotional.

So he sighed:

"Yes, now that he has trained, he is a true three-sword style swordsman."

"Look, he has a knife in his mouth, yet he manages to keep it from falling and speak clearly. He must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes to achieve that."

"Not only that, as a well-known user of the Naming Fruit..."

“Please don’t interrupt—” Kuina turned and glared at Sig, making him swallow his words.

"Three-Sword Style Secret Technique: Three Thousand Worlds!"

The user of the Naming Fruit arrived late, but it did.

Zoro and Hawkeye stood facing each other.

This time, Zoro didn't mention the Great Grade Sword Wado Ichimonji.

All three knives snapped in two.

He released the two broken knives in his hands, turned around, and opened his arms to face Hawkeye.

"What are you doing?" Hawkeye was slightly taken aback.

"A scar on the back is a swordsman's shame."

"Impressive." Hawkeye's lips curled slightly, but his black sword Night did not stop for a moment. It drew a dark blue arc and slashed down on Zoro's chest, blood spurting out.

Zoro sank heavily into the sea.

"Well then, it's your turn now."

Hawkeye glanced at Zoro falling into the sea, then pointed his black sword Yoru at Higuma once more.

"That technique of manipulating flying swords just now... if I'm not mistaken, that shouldn't be a Devil Fruit ability."

"You were at the Isshin Dojo in Shimotsuki Village a few days ago, weren't you?"

"I knew it! This strange style of chainsaw fighting didn't just appear out of thin air..."

Hawkeye's voice remained as calm and indifferent as ever, but deep within his sharp eyes, there was an undisguised expectation.

Simultaneously.

Zoro, who had fallen into the sea and was seriously injured, was rescued by Joseph and Johnny and brought aboard the ship for emergency treatment.

Having just regained consciousness, he overheard a conversation between Sieg and Hawkeye.

"Isshin Dojo? What's going on? Why are Hawkeye and that man involved with the dojo?"

Zoro took a deep breath, struggled to sit up, and looked at Sig and Mihawk.

Joseph and Johnny exchanged a glance, and seeing that Zoro was still alive, they were relieved and turned their attention back to Sig and Hawkeye.

"It seems it really is that man..." they nodded to themselves.

"Could it be that we have the chance to witness him face off against Hawkeye once again?"

"This is the duel of the world's strongest swordsmen. After ten years, can we really witness it again in person?"

Joseph and Johnny's hands trembled slightly with excitement as they rested on the hilts of their knives.

"What...are you talking about?"

Zoro stared blankly at the two former bounty hunters. He suddenly felt a bit absurd, staring at these two excited former bounty hunters, feeling as if they were strangers to him.

"What do you mean by 'strongest'? Does this have anything to do with the Isshin Dojo?"

"Just keep watching and you'll find out, Zoro-nii."

Joseph began to speak.

These two men are actually five or six years older than Luffy, Zoro, and others, but for some reason they often call each other "brother," it's become a habit.

Guina felt the same way.

She had fought Hawkeye a few days ago, and now she couldn't help but feel excited, looking at Sieg with anticipation.

Sig, who was being watched by them, stiffened slightly and felt a little flustered.

He was so engrossed in watching the play and the famous scenes that he completely forgot about this part.

Judging from Hawkeye's tone, he was already beginning to doubt his identity.

“Yes, you have indeed seen me before.” Sig readily admitted his identity.

“My name is Wang Rixiong, and I am a disciple of the Isshin Dojo.”

"You guessed right that day. Master Koushirou is a man of martial ethics and doesn't compete with others, so he didn't use his true skills."

"Besides the Isshin-ryu and Chainsaw-ryu styles, he also has a trump card sword technique..."

Three floating swords swirled around him as Sieg calmly spoke:

"Flying Sword Style!"

Chapter 1016 Sword God, Sword Saint, Hawkeye 3K

Flying Sword Style?

When Sieg uttered this unfamiliar word, everyone's gaze couldn't help but fall on the three longswords surrounding him.

It has to be said that the name "Flying Sword Controlling Style" is quite fitting.

"This is actually a swordsmanship style? A swordsmanship style that controls flying swords?"

"Hawkeye just said that this shouldn't be a Devil Fruit ability, but rather swordsmanship..."

Everyone looked shocked.

"Is this the Flying Sword Style?"

Johnny and Joseph exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

"The legend was true after all... He admitted it. I knew that in that incident ten years ago, our boss didn't use a Devil Fruit ability, but rather a technique derived from his unparalleled swordsmanship..."

"But why... Wang Rixiong?" The two exchanged a glance and fell into deep thought again.

They were no longer the greenhorns they once were. Hearing Sieg's words, seeing the sunglasses covering half his face, and recalling Sieg's past anonymity...

"It seems the boss has something important to do, which is why he's hiding his identity. Is this also part of a bigger plan?"

"I knew he wasn't dead!"

Joseph and Johnny stood arm in arm, whispering to each other, seemingly discussing something.

Zoro, however, was even more excited than the others on the deck.

"What is the Flying Sword Style?"

Zoro looked strange.

Of course he knew that Koushirou didn't know anything about chainsaw style or flying sword style.

What Sieg said was undoubtedly a lie!

But chainsaw flow?

Isshin Dojo is just a small rural dojo. How did Sig know that the so-called Chainsaw Style was related to Isshin Dojo?

"So I wasn't mistaken, that woman really is Kuina... but who is that man controlling the flying sword?"

Zoro thought to himself, panting.

Just as Sieg was about to continue speaking, a light screen rapidly unfolded in front of him, under everyone's gaze.

"Achievement Quest: Witness of History (1) Completed."

"Task objective: Witness important scenes or events in the main story from the perspective of an observer. 0/1"

"Mission Reward: One chance to draw a random card related to observing historical events."

This achievement, similar to the old "Return of the Old World," is a series of multi-stage tasks.

Witnessing key scenes from the main story... sounds simple.

But Sieg has changed a lot of things, and the events of this era may not necessarily unfold as usual.

Sig's consciousness entered the sea of ​​stars and began the familiar card-drawing process once again.

As starlight converged, a bronze card emerged.

Possession Card: Roronoa Zoro

Source: One Piece

Quality: Grade C

Restrictions: 1 time, 3 days

Ability: hopelessly directionally challenged – destined to get lost.

The Naming Fruit—gives various cool names to attacks during battle.

Swordsmanship – the swordsmanship Zoro has practiced since childhood.

"So that's how it goes? If I used Zoro's Possession Card now, and then used the Three-Sword Style against Mihawk..."

Sieg had an idea in mind.

He'd even rehearsed his lines: "Kid, that's not how you use the Three-Sword Style..."

The two abilities besides swordsmanship can be considered side effects, but for now, they can be ignored.

Sig's consciousness returned to reality.

"The Flying Sword Style? I've never heard of such a swordsmanship before." Hawkeye pointed his black sword, Night, diagonally at Sig.

"Whether it's just a name or a genuine new swordsmanship style, let me see."

Hawkeye is poised to strike, his momentum already rising.

Having just honed his skills in the battle with Zoro, Hawkeye now resembles a drawn sword, inspiring fear in all who behold him.
