I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Hawkeye raised the black sword high in his hand, and a heavy, mountain-like aura slowly rose from his body.

“Draw your sword, or die by my sword,” Hawkeye spoke again.

"Choose one."

Chapter 1025 Hawkeye VS Sig 3k

Hawkeye gripped his sword, his overwhelming aura continuing to rise, as deep and boundless as the ocean.

He had not yet drawn his sword; he was merely gathering his strength.

But the surrounding air seemed to have frozen.

Even ordinary people in Rogge Town could feel this overwhelming pressure, which sent chills down their spines.

On the other side.

Enveloped in white smoke, Straw Hat Luffy and Alvida, the user of the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, were also grabbed by a hand formed from the white smoke.

As a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, Smoker is virtually invincible in the East Blue region.

Most of the pirates here have never even seen a Devil Fruit, let alone a Logia-type Devil Fruit user who has no physical form.

Smoker, who was chasing Straw Hat Luffy and his crew, felt a jolt in his heart, glanced back at Hawkeye, and lost his composure slightly.

"Is the difference really that big?"

Smoker didn't think much of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but when Hawkeye Mihawk first showed his prowess, he realized the huge gap between them.

This is indeed not something he can handle... It would be better to focus his attention on Luffy and the others.

Because of their momentary hesitation, Luffy and the others seized the opportunity to break free and flee at high speed.

Because of the previous commotion, Zoro and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates have also arrived.

"Is it Hawkeye again? And that man named Wang Rixiong..."

Zoro glanced at Sigurd and Hawkeye, but knew he was no match for them now.

The sky gradually darkened.

In a corner of the town square, a man in a green robe stood in the shadows, his half-face exposed by the shadows bearing dark red tattoos, silently watching the scene unfold.

It was no accident that the dragon came to this place at this time.

After years of lying low, the Revolutionary Army has become a formidable force that even the world governments cannot ignore, and it also possesses extremely strong intelligence capabilities.

He had heard of the so-called Flying Sword Style swordsman Wang Rixiong... as well as the Straw Hat Pirates who had just debuted in the East Blue.

Wang Rixiong first appeared in the Goa Kingdom. His identity was mysterious, and he had connections with Sabo and the reclusive Roger. From then on, he came into the sights of the Revolutionary Army.

Until now!

"Hawkeye's words are loaded with meaning... Could it be that the so-called Wang Rixiong actually has another name?" Long narrowed his eyes and continued to observe in secret.

His newly debuted son and the mysterious swordsman Wang Rixiong, who possesses the ability to control flying swords, are both his targets in arriving here.

Meanwhile, in the distance on the other side, a pair of eyes took in the dragon hiding in the shadows, as well as the situation in Loguetown Square.

"The greatest swordsman in the world?"

Roger placed his hand on the knife at his waist, silently watching Hawkeye, who exuded an imposing aura, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It seems a promising newcomer has emerged on the high seas..."

A fighting spirit even began to stir within him.

However, his gaze lingered on Sig for a moment before his hand slowly left the hilt of the knife.

"Forget it, I'd better not steal his opponent..." Roger's eyes gleamed with admiration.

He suddenly recalled the chaotic battle he had with Shiki, Whitebeard, and the others many years ago.

The outcome of the free-for-all was uncertain, but Sieg stepped forward and declared himself the strongest... Roger was enraged and directly challenged Sieg to a duel...

"Neither I, Whitebeard, nor Shiki have ever officially fought him, have we?"

Roger was also filled with curiosity, so he stood aside and watched the battle silently.

..................

Oh shit, it's over.

Seeing Hawkeye's imposing aura rise and his sword poised to strike, Sieg's heart sank.

He had no doubt... if he didn't make a move, Hawkeye would really strike with his sword, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to be killed outright.

Mihawk holds back against a promising junior like Zoro, indicating that the future is bright for him.

But Hawkeye has clearly begun to doubt his identity. Is it possible that he's holding back against Sieg?

In that extremely short time, thoughts raced through Sieg's mind.

He was quickly thinking of a strategy to deal with Hawkeye without revealing his identity.

After racking his brains, he realized... he was just daydreaming.

Although Zoroka has a new card, the Sword God and the Sword Saint are no longer here.

How could someone try to escape right under Hawkeye's nose without anyone stopping him in time?

Sigurd glanced at Luffy and Alvida in the distance, a thought popping into his mind... but he quickly dismissed it.

It's blocked, it's blocked, it's blocked...

Cleverness has its limits.

There is no foolproof way to protect one's identity when facing a hawk who is on high alert and gathering his strength.

“Hawkeye, you forced me to do this.” Sig sighed almost imperceptibly.

There is no foolproof solution.

At that moment, Sieg made a decision.

"It's a pity that Monka isn't here."

Sieg opened his inventory, and soon a syringe filled with stimulant hormones appeared. He quickly injected it into the carotid artery in his neck!

He took a deep breath, and his pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.

The surge of adrenaline caused blood to rush back to the heart, and the heart began to beat rapidly.

Simultaneously.

Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang!

The sound of the Emperor's engine resounded from within Sieg's chest.

Unlike before.

With his physique fully trained and now imbued with the power of a giant, the sound of the Emperor's Engine was stronger and more powerful than ever before.

It was as if a long-dormant savage beast had awakened after winter, its blood surging through its body like a tidal wave, and a pressure as powerful as the tide rushing out in all directions.

"Hawkeye".

Sig placed his hand on his waist, no longer retreating, but instead taking the initiative to walk towards Hawkeye step by step.

His steps were neither hurried nor slow, yet they were as powerful as thunder, like a giant standing tall and firm. Every step he took made the air tremble, and an immense, overwhelming pressure arose.

"this......."

The scene left everyone around them stunned, and a strange sense of familiarity welled up in their hearts.

This scene seems familiar.

Among the crowd present were a small number of people from Roguetown who had witnessed the duel ten years prior, and this scene immediately evoked a sense of familiarity in many of them.

At that moment, the overwhelming sense of oppression finally erupted completely, engulfing everything like a tidal wave.

The crowd still standing in Loguetown Square, whether pirates, marines, or ordinary civilians, were all knocked unconscious in an instant and almost all of them collapsed to the ground.

Like a storm passing by, all the grass and trees bow their heads.

The dragon in the corner narrowed its eyes.

He was naturally familiar with this situation.

Conqueror's Haki.

But it's not your average Conqueror's Haki.

As everyone knows, the bandit king Higuma possesses extremely strong Conqueror's Haki, reaching a level where he can generate his own sound effects, which is unmatched by others.

"It really is him... that man is back." A storm raged in Long's heart.

Even though he had some expectations in his mind, the fact that it was presented to him still made him change his expression.

"Conqueror's Haki..."

Among the naval personnel present, aside from Kuina, the highest-ranking and most powerful was Colonel Smoker from the headquarters.

He had just led a group of marines, chasing Straw Hat Luffy away from the plaza area, when in the blink of an eye he felt a fleeting wave of Conqueror's Haki pressure.

Smoker paused slightly, supporting Tashigi who was stunned by Conqueror's Haki, and watching his other subordinates collapse one after another.

"Is that Hawkeye? I've never heard of him possessing Conqueror's Haki? The scope of this attack is truly vast."

"Could it be Hawkeye's rival, that man named Wang Rixiong?"

Such a thought flashed through Smoker's mind.

Regardless of whether it's Hawkeye or not... this is not an enemy he can handle.

"Luckily, Colonel Guina was keeping an eye on things," Smoker thought with relief.

He refocused his attention on the fleeing Straw Hat Luffy and his crew.

..............

"Now, the world is quiet."

Sig looked at Hawkeye in front of him and continued walking.

The more witnesses there are, the worse it is for him.
