Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

[Theoretically, even if the Straw Hat Pirates were to successfully withdraw now, the Whitebeard Pirates would still have gained a huge advantage in this "sudden incident" just now...!!!]

Listening to Luffy's words, Sengoku's face became serious, and he really started thinking.

[He looked around, and the situation on the battlefield was now very clear! !]

The combined power of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates has essentially maintained a tie.

[Of course... this assumes that Garp, that bastard, is just slacking off!!]

If Garp could join the battle, the Navy would definitely have a clear advantage!

From Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates' performance since their arrival, it seems they have only one goal: to rescue Ace!

[And even when Luffy released his Conqueror's Haki, he didn't deliberately target the navy, but rather let the navy and pirates benefit equally~~~]

[Sending a message... that is... the Straw Hat Pirates are not here to help anyone!! They are only here to achieve their own goals!!]

If the Navy continues to hold the Straw Hat Pirates hostile, the end result will be that the Straw Hat Pirates will be blacklisted and become the same side as the Whitebeard Pirates...

[After all, Sengoku isn't as extreme and absolutely righteous as Akainu. He'll consider the lives of the navy soldiers! He'll also consider the toll a major war would take on the navy! !]

[After all, war is not a one-time deal~~]

If the navy becomes devastated after this war and shows signs of decline, then neither the Revolutionary Army nor other ambitious pirates will miss such a good opportunity!!!

[At this time, since Luffy took the initiative to make such a suggestion, Sengoku had to consider it carefully...]

Portgas D. Ace: "No! If the Straw Hat Pirates really leave, what will happen to the Whitebeard Pirates... and what will happen to Dad...!"

Edward Newgate: "Gulala! Ace, relax! Even though it's over there, I don't think there's anything wrong with Straw Hat's decision!!"

Marco: "Yeah! Even without them, our Whitebeard Pirates would have had to fight the Navy. Now that the Straw Hat Kid has rescued you, it's a huge help to us over there!!"

Vista: "Haha! Without any worries, we can fight and retreat over there without being held back by the navy any longer!!"

Squard: "The most important thing is that our large fleet over there hasn't even entered the harbor yet, and Zhan Guo's strategy hasn't even been used yet. Dad wasn't stabbed by me over there, so everything is still in good condition!"

Sakaski: "Haha!! Whether it's the pirates over there or the pirates over here, they're all the same. Once they achieve their target, they quickly run away with their tails between their legs~~~"

Shiki: "You idiot! If you don't leave after achieving your goal, you're a moron!!"

[Just as Sengoku was about to make a decision, suddenly...!!]

[Everyone on the battlefield's faces changed slightly~~~]

[Everyone subconsciously looked in the same direction!!!]

[To the right of the Naval Headquarters battle platform...]

The originally solid and clean battle platform has now become riddled with holes.

[On the ground, on the walls, on the fortifications...]

[One after another, extremely deep cuts, as if engraved on it~~]

[The dense marks on the ground also tell of how fierce this swordsman battle was! ! ]

As for the navy soldiers originally on this battle platform, when the Straw Hat Pirates launched their attack, they were gathered together by nearly ten giant vice admirals and taken to a safe area.

[The same goes for other areas. Before the Straw Hat Pirates even reach the battle platform, the busiest people are the Giant Vice Admirals, who act as porters!]

Although there were some marines left behind in the fortifications, the marines who had managed to get out had been basically all moved to the rear.

"A rare opponent...!"

Hawkeye looked at Zoro in front of him, his pupils slightly condensed, and a look of joyful excitement appeared on his face~~~

"Now, show us your true abilities!! Because... I'm going all out!!"

[Excitement emanated from Hawkeye's words, and the sword intent within him surged~~~]

[It was precisely because of this rising sword intent that everyone else subconsciously turned their gazes over here!!]

[“What the hell?? What is he doing…!!”]

[Feeling the sword intent rising fiercely from Hawkeye, Borsalino's face showed surprise!]

[“No way…” Kuzan was also obviously a little surprised!!]

"This sword intent!!" Lieutenant General Gion's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and he exclaimed, "He's going all out!!"

Lieutenant General Stolloberi exclaimed in shock, "That kid actually has such strength that he could actually force Hawkeye to use his full strength?!"

"Damn it! He's only that young..." Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel said in horror.

This war...

[Except for the dead Crocodile and the captured Jinbe, the rest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea gathered at the Marine Headquarters!!!]

[But everyone knows that the Shichibukai are on the same side as the Navy!!]

[But at most they are just here to keep the peace, and then lend a little help to help the navy share some of the pressure from the pirate minions~~~]

[None of these guys who could become the Shichibukai would be foolish enough to devote all their energy to the navy's affairs!!]

[Even... if they could contribute even 50% of their effort, that would be beyond the Navy's expectations~~~]

【Especially Hawkeye~~】

[Everyone knows he always does what he wants. Even the navy can't control him! !]

[This time, we're recruiting the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Even if he doesn't come, the navy won't be able to do anything to him~~~]

[People like him are just entertainment at best in the war at the top~~~]

[But what I never expected was that this guy would actually go all out now! ! ! ]

【Everyone was shocked!!】

Their gaze shifted from Hawkeye to the young swordsman across from them...

[This seemingly ordinary young man...]

[He's actually worthy of the full force of the world's greatest swordsman? ? ?]

Chapter 154: Swords collide, the sky splits! (Subscribe!)

Shanks: "The excitement is coming!!"

Dracule Mihawk: "As expected... Zoro's talent is visible to the naked eye!!"

Back in the East Sea, Hawkeye, based on Zoro's words, concluded that this boy would have great potential in the future!!!

Judging from the red framed video, his vision was correct...!!

Kira: "Has Zoro over there become this strong?!"

Gion: "Even Lord Hawkeye is going all out, which must mean he fully recognizes his swordsmanship..."

Vista: "Yeah..., that kid is still so young, his future achievements will surely be even more exaggerated!!"

Kraikana Island~~~

"Over there, I not only made Hawkeye take the initiative to fight, but also forced Hawkeye to go all out..."

Zoro was looking at the red-framed screen with great excitement! !

He stared intently, afraid of missing any detail! !

For others, this battle may just be a fun thing to watch.

But for Zoro himself, this is definitely a teaching lesson that cannot be missed!!

Is there anything more fitting than learning one's own swordsmanship?

“Alright! Since the world’s greatest swordsman has spoken, I’ll just give it my all and fight to the bitter end!!”

[Zoro has been training till now for this battle today!!]

[His swordsmanship improved dramatically through repeated sparring with Luffy~~~]

Combined with his Armament Haki and Observation Haki, this forces his swordsmanship to become even more powerful! !

[In fact, in the battle just now, Zoro didn't have any advantage, but he didn't get discouraged at all! !]

[Fighting with a true swordsman like this is the best way to improve his swordsmanship! !]

Hawkeye said in a deep voice, "The title is merely a temporary honor bestowed upon me. I long for someone to take it away! But you, at such a young age, have already achieved such formidable swordsmanship. If compared to me, you are the stronger one!"

hiss!!--

When Hawkeye said this, the entire chat room was filled with gasps of surprise.

X. Drake: "Is he stronger than Hawkeye at the same age...?"

Charlotte Smoothie: "What can the world's greatest swordsman say about this...? That's an absurdly high evaluation~~~"

Gion: "You're already so powerful at this age...!!"

Shanks: "Hey, hey, hey!! Hawkeye, are you flattering me over there? You never said anything like that to me before~~"

Djoracle Mihawk: "If I said that during the duel with the swordsman, I must have really meant it!"

Hearing Hawkeye’s personal certification, the audience’s hearts were once again shaken! ! !

Confirmed~~~

The talent of that young man with green algae hair is really no less than Hawkeye...!!!

"Young man, I haven't asked for your name yet!"

[Hawkeye holds the knife in one hand and makes a "sword-lifting" move~~]

[This action is a sign of challenge between swordsmen!]

[Of course, I would only do this in front of a swordsman I respect~~~]

[If you were just a nobody, you would be swept away by a single blow of sword energy. Why would I bother being polite to you...!!]

"Roronoa Zoro!"

[Zoro loudly chants his true name! ]

[Strangely enough, when Zoro spoke, the handle of the Daoyiwenzi was like an inlaid eight/six

10/!#

June Fourth

The 746 was on his teeth, but it didn't move at all, with no signs of falling off.

[Without daily contact, it is impossible to achieve it! ]

["Doracle Mihawk!!"]

Although his name is well known in the swordsman world, Hawkeye still announced his name! !

【This is recognition, this is also respect!!!】

[The moment he finished speaking, Hawkeye pulled back his right hand, and at the same time, his left hand grasped the hilt of the knife!]

[He holds the knife with both hands at the same time, pulling the handle to the right side of his cheek~~~]

[In the yellow-brown eyes, the excitement is hard to conceal~~~]

He thought to himself, this trip to the Marine Headquarters... was the right one!!

[For a great swordsman like him, winning or losing a battle is no longer what he pursues~~~]

[What he pursues... is the exploration of the way of the sword!!]

[Everyone knows that Hawkeye's swordsmanship is already at the pinnacle of this world!!]

[But only when you stand at the top can you clearly feel the loneliness and solitude~~]

[My swordsmanship has been honed to the limit, but I can't improve any further, and this is a pain that can't be healed!!]

Only through a clash with a true kendo master can one break free from the shackles of one's own kendo, transcend oneself, and have the opportunity to go further in the kendo path...!!!

[Before this, Hawkeye would go to Shanks to practice swordsmanship whenever he had nothing to do, in order to achieve a breakthrough! ! ]

[It's just that... Shanks is strong in swordsmanship, but his focus isn't on swordsmanship~~]
