"However, since it is the commander's request, I will do my best to fulfill it."

Yi Xian's face flushed, and she placed her hands on Luo Zhen's shoulders.

Therefore, in addition to studying the secret manual, she also had to consider various ways to make money.

It's not complicated. After all, Luo Zhen has a lot of information. When he goes to other places to do business, it's like a game-changer.

With money, you can do more things.

Having completely handed things over, Luo Zhen became a hands-off manager, spending his days hunting pirates with the Shadow Legion.

The smaller pirates are dealt with by them, while Luo Zhen will personally handle the slightly stronger ones.

During this period, he accumulated a lot of combat experience, seizing weapons from various swordsmen and gaining corresponding experience.

His strength was steadily increasing, and then he met that man at sea.

"Isn't Hawkeye equipped with a small coffin boat as standard? Why does this boat look so normal?"

Luo Zhen muttered to himself.

Hawkeye sat on the deck, holding a newspaper in his hand.

"The Protector of Alabasta is said to be a formidable swordsman."

"I'm quite free right now, and I hope you won't disappoint me."

Hawkeye's vision was incredibly sharp. After drawing his black sword, he immediately assumed a fighting stance.

The shadow behind Luo Zhen twisted and contorted, and the shadowy ninjas surrounded him in a defensive formation.

He squinted and glanced over, noticing green and pink accents on Eagle Eye's small boat.

That must be Perona and Zoro.

At this time, Zoro was training with Mihawk, and when Mihawk went out, Zoro followed him.

Perona followed along, which is why Hawkeye changed ships.

"How about we go somewhere else? There's a small island nearby where we can fight to our hearts' content."

Luo Zhen longed to fight against strong opponents. Since he had encountered Hawkeye and was still eager to fight, he decided to have a good fight.

"can."

Hawkeye took off his hat.

Luo Zhen activated the power of the Shadow Kingdom, teleporting both ships directly to each other.

"A Devil Fruit ability?"

Hawkeye murmured, the sudden teleportation not causing any change to his deadpan expression.

Chapter 100: Defeating Hawkeye, Conqueror's Haki Enveloping Him

As the two powerful figures were about to face off, Perona offered some advice to the green-haired man beside her.

"Maybe we should keep our distance. If we get caught in the blast, we might lose our lives."

Upon hearing this, Zoro shook his head.

"To see such powerful individuals clash is worth dying for."

He desperately wanted to know if the gap between himself and the world's strongest swordsman was ever going to close.

Luo Zhen projected the Enterprise's Nation-Destroying Sword. The swordsmanship he had honed over this period, combined with the secret manuals of the Tang Dynasty government, had been fully integrated.

He didn't just absorb the techniques of those pirates; instead, he incorporated his own understanding, constantly practiced and experimented, and developed a fighting style that best suited him.

Now is the time to test the results. The long-awaited showdown between the strongest has finally arrived.

He didn't intend to use too many fancy abilities; he planned to have a pure battle with Hawkeye.

A battle against a strong opponent might allow him to achieve some breakthroughs.

For example, his Armament Haki has been honed to a high level, and the next step should be to master "Haki Entanglement".

It remains to be seen whether Hawkeye can serve as a whetstone for him, allowing him to unleash such a powerful attack.

With a distance between them, Hawkeye struck first, unleashing a flurry of sword strikes that tore through the air with force, sending a powerful slashing wave hurtling toward Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen could have dodged, but he chose to fight head-on.

Thus, the battle between the two officially began. Endless slashing waves collided one after another in the air, and gusts of wind made the two small boats on the beach rock back and forth.

"It seems Hawkeye is superior. It's incredible power. Both of them are monsters."

Zoro's forehead was covered in cold sweat; just watching the battle from the sidelines had already affected him with its sheer force.

"Hawkeye's strength is amazing, but that person... he keeps getting stronger in battle."

Zoro realized that it was hard to say who would win or lose in this battle.

"Hawkeye is no match for him. That guy is an ability user. Didn't you feel it when he teleported away just now?"

Perona felt that the mysterious man hadn't even used his own abilities; he was simply engaging in a direct sword fight, yet he was evenly matched with Hawkeye. If that hidden power were added, the situation might be completely different.

"What teleportation? Haven't we been staying in the same place the whole time?"

Zoro blinked, looked around, and thought the scenery was "more or less the same."

"You were at sea before, and now you're on the shore. You think the scenery is the same, right?"

Perona felt that this guy's terrible sense of direction was truly hopeless.

She casually made a comment, then looked Luo Zhen up and down.

The ability the other party displayed seemed somewhat strange, yet it also felt very familiar.

A certain guess emerged in her mind.

Hawkeye was no longer willing to continue the clash of swords, so he began to close the distance and unleashed extremely fast sword techniques.

But in that instant, his Observation Haki sensed something, and he immediately stopped what he was doing and assumed a defensive stance.

"Conqueror's Haki, it can be used like this?"

In that brief moment, Hawkeye saw the "false" sword move.

"The more acute your Observation Haki is, the easier it is to fall for a trap."

"Let's guess which move is a fake and which is the real one."

Luo Zhen smiled and took the initiative to step forward.

He needs to feel extreme pressure to activate his inner domineering will and then unlock the Conqueror's Haki.

He's using Hawkeye as a stepping stone for himself.

In fact, his current strength is above Hawkeye's, and with that series of fancy abilities, he can always defeat Hawkeye.

But he craved power, so he only fought him with swordsmanship.

The two weapons clashed in mid-air, producing a series of crisp sounds.

Hawkeye felt that the opponent's sword moves were a bit too hasty, and even revealed a crazy, reckless temperament.

"Your technique is clearly quite good, so why are you only using brute force in one direction?"

Hawkeye frowned, found the opening, and unleashed a powerful sword strike.

"If this is all you've got, you're no match for me, what..."

Before Hawkeye could finish speaking, he felt a familiar sense of oppression.

He'd experienced that feeling with that red-haired guy before, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, what's next...

Just as Hawkeye's black blade was about to strike Luo Zhen, Conqueror's Haki successfully wrapped around the longsword.

"Sweep away the enemy."

The outcome hinged on that single moment, as Luo Zhen unleashed his strongest sword strike.

Hawkeye stared wide-eyed, his hands hanging limply at his sides, the black knife plunging straight into the sand.

A few seconds later, a spray of blood mist appeared.

The world's strongest swordsman lay stiffly on the beach, his blood staining the sand, and his once bright eyes had lost their luster.

Looking at Hawkeye on the ground, Luo Zhen suddenly felt a little lost. What should he do with him?

"He seems to know how to farm. Why don't we let him work at the Ministry of Agriculture?"

"Forget it, this is too much trouble. The most urgent thing now is..."

Luo Zhen grabbed Hawkeye's "black knife," and the God's Left Hand began to work, instantly copying all the internal experience.

After that, as long as he gradually digests and transforms these experiences into his own, Luo Zhen's strength will reach a new level.

Zoro was stunned. Hawkeye was his target, yet he had been defeated just like that.

"Take him back with you."

Luo Zhen took out a bottle of medicine and splashed it directly on Hawkeye's body.

This is a life potion obtained through a lottery, and there's quite a lot of it. He also had the little yellow chicken reverse engineer it and try to replicate it.

Hawkeye's injuries were severe, but after one bottle of medicine, he went from being on the verge of death to being seriously injured.

Zoro hoisted Hawkeye onto his shoulder, his heart heavy with sorrow, and prepared to leave.

"Once I defeat Hawkeye, I will challenge you."

With that, Zoro spurred the ship away.

However, Perona was no longer on the ship. This directionally challenged person, with Eagle Eyes by her side, would probably be adrift at sea for a long time.

Luo Zhen didn't say much, flicking his black knife, which pierced the deck. "Mei Youyou, I'm busy, Lin Zaizai, are you there...?"

"This black knife is very powerful, aren't you going to take it?"

Suoling asked, puzzled.

"You are indeed very strong, but I am not a knife stand, and you better not become one either."

Luo Zhen spoke earnestly to Zoro, offering a piece of advice.

After watching the ship depart, Luo Zhen prepared to return. With a thought, he went directly back to his own territory.

On the island, the pink-clad ghost looked bewildered.

"It was indeed an impulsive act, but I need to figure out this man's capabilities."

Perona's eyes hardened.

Chapter 101, Tiancheng Wants to Become a Colorful Boat

Luo Zhen returned to his bedroom and began to analyze Hawkeye's techniques and experience, preparing to digest and absorb them, and transform them into his own.

"The experience and skills of the strong have deep roots and need to be digested slowly. Although it is a bit slow, even a little bit of it will lead to great growth."

Luo Zhen must constantly grow stronger; only then can he stabilize everything around him. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

He was very weak in the past and deeply understood the importance of strength. Whenever he had free time, he would find a way to improve his strength.

A mysterious energy circulated within his body, allowing Luo Zhen to accelerate his mastery of various powers.

This is his greatest reliance, his strongest trump card; it is with this that he can accelerate his growth.

"Commander, I think that getting stronger requires a balance between work and rest."

"Today's battle was very exciting; I've already watched the ninjas' recordings."

"Practicing so hard right after the battle, you should take a good rest instead."

Amagi's soft voice rang out as she came to Luo Zhen's side, knelt down, and rested her head on his shoulder.

Luo Zhen glanced at her and saw her rosy face, and a few more red marks on her slender neck.

"May I corrupt you?"

As Amagi spoke, he pushed Luo Zhen to the ground.
