From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

Hawkeye didn't waste any time and went to the navy headquarters.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late. At that time, Kujo Tachibana had already sat on his new vehicle, the brand-new version of the "Advanced Blue Dragon", and "jumped in line" directly from the Calm Belt to the new world in the second half of the Grand Line.

But the poor Hawkeye has to start all over again from the Marine Headquarters...

Along the Grand Route, sail from the first half to the second half again.

Fortunately, Hawkeye was strong enough. Although he got lost several times and wasted some time, he finally found the man he was looking for!

At this time, because of the bloody battle with Big Mom for ten days, his evaluation was once again improved, replacing him as the number one candidate for the world's greatest swordsman!

Vice Admiral "Soryuu-Kujo Tachibana."

Of course, the final decision on who is the world's number one swordsman will still depend on the outcome of the battle between the two today.

-

Jiujo Tachibana didn't say a word of nonsense. He looked at Hawkeye and went straight to the point.

"You must be Hawkeye Mihawk! Let's go to another place! We can't let you destroy this place."

The man with eagle-like eyes just nodded calmly, turned around and came to his own car.

A small boat with a size of only a few square meters and a strange shape like a large coffin...

Looking at Hawkeye's vehicle which didn't even have a cabin, Kujo Tachibana couldn't help but tilt his head to look at the Soryu which was docked not far away.

This?

What will Hawkeye do if it rains? Should he just stand there in the rain?

Looking at Hawkeye's car again, Kujo Tachibana couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Fortunately, Hawkeye didn't know about Kujo Tachibana's messy thoughts at this time, otherwise he might not be able to wait until later. Now Hawkeye is going to go to war with Kujo Tachibana...

As Hawkeye's boat left, Kujo Tachibana followed closely behind and boarded his own Soryu warship.

...

After sailing for most of the day, Jiujo Ju finally guided Hawkeye to the vicinity of Malt Island, the nearest uninhabited desert island.

There were two closer ones last time, what a pity.

He had been killed in the battle with Big Mom.

If he is defeated again on this deserted island, he will be in trouble the next time someone challenges him...

-

On an unknown desert island, the two stood facing each other, ten meters apart.

Hawkeye drew out the black knife "Night" in his hand and pointed it straight at Jiujo Tachibana in front of him.

(It is not yet the Supreme Sword at this time.)

Kujo Tachibana also pulled out a black sword in his hand that was obviously larger than "Yoshiro" - Thunder Dragon, and confronted Hawkeye.

"Mihawk, what is your goal?" It was very rare for Kujo Tachibana to chat with his opponent before the battle.

"Since I have chosen to become a swordsman, then reaching the pinnacle and becoming the strongest is my destiny."

It can be seen that Hawkeye is not a man of many words. The moment he finished speaking, Hawkeye picked up the black knife in his hand and chopped it towards Kujo Tachibana's body without mercy!

With a smile, Jiu Tiao Ju raised the Thunder Dragon in his hand and arrived first!

He swung the knife upward and blocked the black knife in front of him.

Chapter 52 Swordsman

"boom..."

"boom..."

"boom..."

...

One after another, magnificent slashing blows slid down this uninhabited desert island, the earth was divided, the flowers and trees were overturned, and even the huge mountains on the island were cracked by the collision and slashing. Even the clouds in the sky were torn apart by these flying slashing blows.

The rumbling sound lasted for most of the day before it stopped.

Kujo Tachibana's right hand, wrapped in high-level armament color and domineering black, was currently holding a thunder dragon of the same color. He walked step by step towards Hawkeye Mihawk who was seriously injured but still standing in front of him.

"Mihawk, you lost." Kujo Tachibana stood in front of Hawkeye and calmly stated the fact.

After calming down his rapid breathing, Hawkeye's eyes were extremely sharp. He looked at Jiujo Tachibana with an indifferent expression and said:

"No, I haven't fallen yet, how can I be considered defeated?"

Kujo Tachibana shook his head: "Mihawk, can't you see the difference in strength between us? So far, I haven't used my full strength yet."

Hearing this, Hawkeye Mihawk's emotions did not fluctuate at all. He just re-condensed his armed color domineering and once again wrapped the black knife "Night" in his hand!

"A swordsman who fears swords and death can never be considered a qualified swordsman. Death in a duel is the best fate for a swordsman."

After saying this, Hawkeye didn't even want to wait for Kujo Tachibana's answer, so he swung the black knife in his hand and once again rushed towards the opponent in front of him who was difficult to overcome.

In the flash of light and shadow, the two of them had passed over each other's bodies in an instant!

They all turned their backs to each other.

There was only a "clang..." sound.

The black knife "Night" was knocked away by the black knife Thunder Dragon, drawing a soft curve in the sky and slanting into the land in the distance.

Even Hawkeye's hands were injured by the huge force of the Thunder Dragon Sword, and he could only tremble uncontrollably...

But this man did not hesitate at all. The next second he turned around and faced Kujo Tachibana, opened his arms and said his last words:

"Leaving scars on the back is a shame for a swordsman! Come and kill me!"

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Hearing Mihawk's words, Kujo Tachibana couldn't help but frown.

What are you doing?

You are Djordko Mihawk, do you think you are Roronoa Zoro?

Then should I leave an unforgettable scar on your chest?

Just when Kujo Tachibana was thinking about this idea, he suddenly remembered another tricky thing.

Kujo Tachibana's eyes suddenly lit up. He was still struggling with how to rescue Fisher Tiger a few days ago. After all, the journey was quite far, and he could not be discovered by the World Government. It was indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

But at this moment, Kujo Tachibana suddenly had an idea!

How about letting Hawkeye help escort Fisher Tiger and send him to the new world?

By then, I will be protecting Fisher Tiger in secret. I think with the influence of the World Government in the New World, it will not be able to do anything to Fisher Tiger.

Unless the World Government wants to kill Fisher Tiger and is willing to expose some hidden power...

Besides that, there's another bastard on Fisher Tiger's boat that he has to kill!

That's the bastard Aaron!

How dare you bully Nami? ?

If I don’t make shark soup for him, it would be a bargain for Aaron!

With a firm idea in mind, Kujo Tachibana put away the "supreme machete" Thunder Dragon in his hand, and learned from Naruto next door, starting an unprecedented "mouth-to-mouth" output.

"What are you doing! Do you want me to kill you? If you can't beat me once, just come back next time! As a swordsman, don't you believe in yourself? If this is the case with you, Mihawk, then you don't deserve to be a swordsman."

"Also, how many great swordsmen are there in this world? Mihawk, if every swordsman is like you, how many years can our profession of swordsman continue on this sea?"

"As one of the top swordsmen of this era, if you hold this kind of thought, you will not only affect yourself, but also the countless younger swordsmen who admire you."

"If you make the younger generation of swordsmen have this idea because of you, then our profession of swordsman will be over. Mihawk, then you will really be a sinner in this sea."

"Because you will make the profession of swordsman decline, so, Mihawk, do you still want me to kill you?"

Hawkeye: “…”

No need!

Hawkeye really didn't expect this!

It turns out that his death would have such a big impact!

And since Jiujo Tachibana has said so much, what else can Mihawk have to say? And actually...

He doesn't really want to die...

-

On Malt Island, in the G11 branch restaurant.

At this time, Kujo Tachibana was sitting at a dining table with Mihawk, eating various dishes made from sea king meat and drinking.

Well, Kujo Tachibana drank orange juice and Mihawk drank dry red wine.

Jiujo Tachibana drank the orange juice in the glass in one gulp, looked at Hawkeye across the table and asked:

"Mihawk, I saved your life today, right? Since it's a life-saving favor, can you do me a favor?"

Hawkeye looked at the man opposite him speechlessly. Not killing him is like saving his life, right?

All right...

If you insist on saying so, there is some truth to it.

"Hmm? What do you want me to do for you?"

Seeing this, Kujo Tachibana smiled and quietly told the story of Fisher Tiger.

...

Hawkeye looked at Jiujo Tachibana in surprise and asked:

"So you, a marine, want to rescue the fishman wanted by the World Government?"

I saw Jiujo Tachibana shook his head and explained:

"It's not me who is going to save him, it's you, Jorakore Mihawk, who is going to save him. It has nothing to do with me, Vice Admiral Kujo Tachibana, the Blue Dragon."

Hawkeye: "..."

Hawkeye thought that this guy was outrageous at this time. You don’t dare to go against the World Government, so you let me do it, right?

Although Hawkeye is not afraid and doesn't care about these things, why is it so disgusting?

Of course, Hawkeye finally agreed.

After all, it's a life-saving grace...

And who is he, Hawkeye?

He is the most unique man in this ocean!

Using a knife as a paddle, you can travel the entire Grand Line!

Don't be shy no matter who you meet on the road.

...

Over the next few days, Kujo Tachibana and Hawkeye spent time on the Malt Island, exchanging their kendo experiences and occasionally sparring with each other.

Of course, they were just small fights, just to verify each other's swordsmanship.

After warmly entertaining Hawkeye for a week, the man got in his own car and left Malt Island.

Chapter 53 Don Quixote

After Kujo Tachibana defeated Hawkeye, this matter was artificially spread at some point in time.

(In fact, Kujo Tachibana deliberately let someone reveal it...)

The people on this sea gradually came to regard him as the world's greatest swordsman.

After that, Hawkeye publicly admitted in the World Economic News published by news king Morgans that he had been defeated by Vice Admiral "Soryu" and the gap between the two was very obvious.

At this point, this major event that people have been arguing about for years has finally come to a conclusion.

From then on, Vice Admiral "Cang Long" officially ascended the throne of the world's greatest swordsman!

Standing on this ocean, at the pinnacle of all swordsmen!
