[172] "Am I still qualified to be in this position?"

The breeze blew over the sea, causing waves.

From time to time, a few seagulls passed by making low noises.

On the beach, Lin Wuya was there.

As for Hawkeye, he was standing in front of him, next to Hawkeye, his sword leaning on the ground at night.

This scene was transmitted to the Naval Headquarters through the Navy branch's den den mushi.

Everyone, including Sengoku and Garp, was stunned.

Lost!

The world's greatest swordsman lost unexpectedly.

And it was a total defeat, without any suspense.

Not only that, even Mihawk was surprised.

"Incredible!

Sengoku stared at the horribly defeated Hawkeye in the image, unconcealable astonishment on his face.

He originally thought it was just a simple swordsmanship competition. Hawkeye should be able to compete with Lin Wuya. After all, Hawkeye is the world's greatest swordsman and stands at the top of the world's swordsmen.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a situation.

In just tens of minutes, Hawkeye was defeated directly and without any suspense.

I can't believe that, in addition to his own strength, this old man has reached such a terrifying level in swordsmanship.

So powerful that even the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk, is not even an opponent.

"This is really amazing!"

Garp, who has always been careless, was deeply shocked at this moment.

He also didn't expect that it was just a pure swordsmanship competition, and Hawkeye was not an opponent at all.

Why is he not an opponent at all?

That's because Lin Wuya has been in passive defense throughout the battle.

From the beginning to the present, this time, he alone took the initiative to attack.

However, it was this time that Hawkeye was defeated outright.

Furthermore, in the face of Lin Wuya's attack, Hawkeye did not even hold his sword and was shocked.

It is conceivable that if Lin Wuya had launched such an offensive from the beginning.

What will be the result!

There is no doubt that Hawkeye will be defeated instantly.

These thoughts passed through his mind, and the horror on Garp's face couldn't help but thicken.

What level of swordsmanship is needed to achieve a single hit to defeat the hawkeye.

On the other side, in the sea.

The pirates who were watching the battle were also stunned at this moment, looking at the black sword night that was inserted diagonally next to Hawkeye.

Their surprised mouths are all those of older bosses.

The world's greatest swordsman lost unexpectedly, and he lost to this old man in a pure swordsmanship competition.

Lie, truth?

They have also heard of Lin Wuya's strength.

The three admirals were defeated and fled after being crushed.

But they didn't expect that this person's swordsmanship had reached such a terrifying level, so terrible that not even Hawkeye was his opponent.

You can imagine what kind of commotion will occur if the results of today's battle are spread to the outside world.

I'm afraid the entire New World is a sensation!

After all, Hawkeye's swordsmanship is recognized as the best in the world, and even Four Emperors Shanks only tied with it.

However, with such a powerful existence, he actually lost to this old knight in swordsmanship.

And it was a fiasco without any suspense.

"Master, this swordsmanship is a bit scary!"

On deck, Rayleigh smacked her lips.

Aren't you surprised?

Although she knew that even if it was a pure swordsmanship competition, even Hawkeye would definitely not be the master's opponent.

But she didn't expect Hawkeye to lose so overwhelmingly.

Although the entire battle lasted more than ten minutes, she knew that Hawkeye was actually killed by the master in one blow.

Because the master did not take the initiative in the entire battle, and the only one who took the initiative was only once.

Hawkeye was on the beach, and in front of him was a ravine hundred of meters long, which he left behind when he retreated.

Looking at the black sword of night leaning towards the ground, he couldn't help but tremble.

A hit!

Just one hit.

He was defeated.

And even Yoru couldn't hold on.

Even if he knew beforehand that he would probably lose in this matchup, he did not expect to be defeated so badly.

The swordsmanship that he had practiced so painstakingly for so many years was no match for this old knight's casual strike.

It's also a little unacceptable because of how calm it is in his heart.

Step.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came before him.

Hawkeye raised his head and then saw Lin Wuya walking towards him.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Lin Wuya stopped at a distance of five meters Mihawk.

He looked at Mihawk somewhat affected and said weakly. "Don't be so frustrated, even if I win, the world's number one swordsman is still yours. Yes, I said, I have no interest in this kind of thing."

"I lost to you. Am I still qualified to occupy this seat?

Hawkeye gave a bitter smile.

He knew that when his black sword night was shaken, the title of the world's number one swordsman would no longer belong to him.

"This has nothing to do with me. It's your business whether you sit down or not. Anyway, I have no interest in this kind of thing.

After speaking, Lin Wuya turned and left.

Leave Hawkeye there alone.

Fingerprint.

With his feet on the ground, Lin Wuya jumped onto the deck and threw Mingyue at Rayleigh.

"Come on.

"Yeah." Teacher."

Rayleigh nodded and then started the boat.

The ship gradually moved away and disappeared.

On the coast, Hawkeye stood there for a long time before coming to his senses.

He then turned around and looked at the shadow of the ship that was slowly receding, and then jumped onto his ship as if he had made some determination.

But he doesn't leave.

Instead, he chased after Lin Wuya.

He wants to be an apprentice.
