Sailing: Me, a Saiyan, starts by clashing with Robin.

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

Eagle eyes, sharp as a falcon's, sized up the man in front of him.

"You rose to fame by stepping on Crocodile, are you now planning to bring me down too, Sand Monkey Beetz?"

"Screw you, don't call me that idiot!" Bitts cursed.

"I am a noble Saiyan prince. Even if I were to choose a title, only a prestigious one like God of Destruction would suit me."

"Saiyans? A race I've never heard of before."

And you actually dare to call yourself a God of Destruction? You've got some nerve! I wonder if your strength matches your boast.

As he spoke, Hawkeye drew the Supreme Grade Sword from his back—Black Sword Night.

"Whether you're good enough or not, you'll know once you try."

And I'll spare your life, as payment for helping me convey the title of God of Destruction to the World Government."

After saying that, Bitts spread his legs apart, left foot in front and right foot behind, lowering his center of gravity.

At the same time, he held his left hand in a claw shape in front of him, and his right hand clenched into a fist and placed behind his waist.

He struck the classic pose from when Vegeta first arrived on Earth and confronted Goku.

"What kind of pose is this? It looks like it's full of openings."

Hawkeye muttered a bewildered comment, only to be met with a rapidly approaching punch from Bitches.

"what!!"

A heavy punch was thrown at Hawkeye's face, but Hawkeye reacted quickly and immediately blocked it with his sword.

When his first attack failed, Bitches immediately changed tactics and swept his leg down.

Hawkeye decisively jumped back to create distance, while simultaneously slashing down with his black blade, creating a dark green flying slash.

Bitz casually deflected the slash, clenched his fists at his waist, and with a stomp of his foot, his body became almost perpendicular to the ground as he quickly closed in and engaged Hawkeye in close combat.

The black sword Night, which can only be wielded by an ordinary person with two hands, seems weightless in Hawkeye's hands, flying up and down and slashing left and right at will.

Bitz, on the other hand, didn't have such 'good equipment'; his only weapon was his fists.

But it was precisely these two ordinary iron fists that withstood the sharp edge of the Supreme Great Sword.

My new book is launching, and I hope all my bosses and godfathers will give me some flowers, monthly tickets, encouragement to update, and rewards. I would be extremely grateful.

Chapter 44 Zoro and Perospero: An Unexpected Meeting

Whenever the blades struck Bitz, they were blocked by the white aura emanating from his body, preventing any harm to him.

While fighting, Hawkeye still managed to find time to chat.

"A strange ability; it's not Armament Haki, yet it possesses defensive capabilities that are in no way inferior to Armament Haki."

Beetz, his face beaming with delight and excitement, responded as he moved his hands, feet, and even his tail incessantly:

"Whether you're inferior or not isn't something you can just talk about. It just so happens that I don't know the three types of Haki yet, so you're a punching bag delivered right to my door, which is perfect for me to practice on."

"Three colors? Not bad confidence, but whether you can learn it depends on yourself."

As he spoke, another slash several meters long was unleashed.

This time, Bitz didn't dodge. He directly used his fist to break the slash apart, and then a ball of light condensed in his palm.

"You're not the only one who knows ranged attacks. Try this one—the Prince's Battle Tactics!"

In an instant, countless fist-sized air blasts shot out.

Hawkeye, however, did not dare to underestimate it, and with a solemn expression, he gripped the hilt of the black sword, Night.

Before the energy blast arrived, he stomped his feet and swung his black blade with great force, unleashing a series of sword energies to defend against it.

A series of explosions suddenly rang out, and the already teetering pirate ship was completely overwhelmed by the two men's attacks.

The dismantling was announced with several creaking sounds of wood breaking.

Losing his foothold caused Hawkeye's movements to falter for a moment.

In that brief instant, the energy blast broke through his sword energy defense and exploded in front of him, much to Hawkeye's surprise.

“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”

Dozens of explosions, even more violent than artillery shells, rang out in succession.

Hawkeye's figure was completely obscured by the smoke and dust from the explosion.

Bits floated silently in mid-air, letting the pirate ship beneath him disintegrate and scatter on the sea.

His gaze remained fixed on the billowing smoke and dust, never wavering.

"Come out. I've deliberately held back. Surely the world's greatest swordsman can't be taken down so easily."

The shockwave from the explosion and the waves created by the sinking of the pirate ship caused the onlookers, who could barely stand, turned pale when they heard what Bitz said.

Usopp released Luffy's arm, clutched his head in disbelief, and shouted:

"What a joke! This attack, which could have easily finished us off, was actually delivered after he held back."

Are those two even human?!

Nami was already terrified and hid behind Luffy and Usopp, only daring to show half of her head.

“They are human, of course,” said Zeff, the owner of the sea restaurant, who had somehow appeared beside them.

He crossed his arms, his face grave as he looked at the battlefield not far away, and explained to the guests and the Straw Hat crew around him:

"However, they are not ordinary humans, especially that eagle-eyed man among them."

They are one of the three major powers in the world today, and are among the seven great pirates recognized by the World Government. They are also members of the Seven Kings of the Sea.

The other person who fought him, who had a tail, was a supernova who had recently become famous throughout the seas and rose to fame by killing another member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

A terrifying being with a bounty of 230 million Berries, the Sand Monkey Beetz.

Upon hearing the boss's explanation, everyone around gasped in shock.

Whether it's Hawkeye, who is recognized by the government, or Bitts, whose bounty exceeds 200 million, they are beings that these locals in the East China Sea cannot even imagine.

They actually encountered two of these beings in a single day, and they even got into a fight.

The diners didn't know whether to call themselves lucky or unlucky.

Many people vowed in their hearts that if they were lucky enough to survive today, they would definitely go back and brag to their relatives and friends about what they had seen and heard today.

After being reminded by Zeff, Vivi finally remembered who Hawkeye was. After carefully explaining to Karina, her heart started pounding with worry.

"Go for it, Bits! You've defeated Crocodile, you absolutely can't lose. I've always believed that."

Crocodile would be thrilled and 'moved to tears' if he knew he could be compared to Hawkeye.

On the other side, Nami's mind was also churning with various thoughts.

'230 million, the bounty is more than 11 times that of Ah Long. If I could get him to help me...'

No, no, how could I possibly invite such a powerful figure? One hundred million Berries is probably nothing to them.

Nami struggled to calculate the various bargaining chips she had, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a reward that would impress the other party.

Suddenly, she glanced at Karina and her group out of the corner of her eye, noticing how they seemed out of place among the others.

Seeing their uniformly pleasant expressions, Nami suddenly had an idea.

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

Just as everyone was harboring their own thoughts, feeling tense, worried, and expectant about the upcoming battle.

A few nautical miles away, Perospero and Zoro, who had climbed onto his ship, stared at each other in silence for a moment.

Zoro scratched his green algae-like hair in confusion, then looked around, completely baffled.

"Strange, did I get on the wrong ship? It should be a very dilapidated ship."

Zoro muttered something to himself, completely unaware of the strange atmosphere present.

At this moment, a group of fierce-looking pirates and a few chess soldiers surrounded him with weapons in hand.

They were just waiting for Perospero's order to immediately apprehend this bastard who dared to smuggle himself onto the ship.

"Hey kid, who are you? How did you get on my ship?"

Perospero stepped forward and questioned the seemingly dim-witted Zoro.

Upon hearing the sound, Zoro finally realized that there were other people on the ship.

He was just about to greet them when he was startled by Perospero.

"Wow! What a long tongue! Uncle, do you have some kind of strange illness?"

"You brat, what are you talking about! Answer my question first!"

"Damn it, you have such a long tongue and you don't even bite it when you talk, uncle, you're quite capable."

"Hey, who are you? Have you seen a man with eagle eyes?"

"I should be the one asking you that! Where did you even come from?!"

My new book is launching, and I hope all my bosses and godfathers will give me some flowers, monthly tickets, encouragement to update, and rewards. I would be extremely grateful.

Chapter 45 Zoro: "Listen to me, go that way."

It has to be said that Zoro is indeed someone Luffy has taken a liking to; his thick skin and ability to annoy people are simply top-notch.

Perospero was almost driven to the brink of collapse by this guy's self-talk.

However, as a seasoned pirate, Perospero still managed to pick up on the key words in Zoro's words.

'Hawkeye? Could it be Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? He's come to the East Blue too?'

"Kid, tell me everything you know about Hawkeye, and maybe I'll let you off the hook."

Hawkeye is a rather troublesome character; even Perospero had to ask Zoro for some information first, just in case.

Zoro didn't catch the threat in his words, assuming that he was a swordsman like himself who had come to challenge Hawkeye.

"Hawkeye, it seems he got into a fight with a man with a long tail at the Baratie sea restaurant earlier."

I originally wanted to challenge him, but somehow I ended up here.

As he spoke, he gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist, looking wary:

"Let's get this straight: once we find Hawkeye, I'll be the one to challenge him first. You'd better get in line."

"Who wants to challenge him?! No, why did he have to fight my target of all people?!"

Perospero frantically rubbed his top hat, his heavily made-up, pointed face contorting in a grimace that made him look even uglier.

He finally managed to find out Bitz's whereabouts in Alabasta, and disregarded the risks to cross the windless zone all the way to the East China Sea.

Although I don't know why, we didn't encounter any sea king attacks when we passed through the calm zone.

Unexpectedly, not long after arriving in the East China Sea, he heard the devastating news that his target had gotten into a fight with Hawkeye.

That's the world's greatest swordsman, the veteran Shichibukai Dracule Mihawk, who's no match for even him!

Does that idiot think that just because he beat a sand crocodile, he'll be a match for Hawkeye?

Crocodile is nothing compared to Hawkeye!

Crocodile: "You #%@#! You're dead, don't bother calling me."

No matter how much he berates Bitches now, it won't make a difference.

He has to save him before Hawkeye takes care of Bitches.

'I suppose Hawkeye will give Mom some face.'

Feeling uneasy, Perospero quickly asked Zoro:

"No time for nonsense, tell me where Hawkeye is, and I'll take you there!"

"Uncle, I didn't realize you were such a nice person."

Zoro, with a mix of surprise and delight, gave Perospero a "friend zone" card.
