Chapter 88: Messages Reached Around the World, Landing

When Shiro went out to sea alone and embarked on his journey, the latest newspapers quickly spread all over the world.

At this time, members of the Straw Hat Pirates scattered all over the world also saw the contents of the newspaper and received the deep meaning of Captain Straw Hat Luffy!

Straw Hat Pirates: Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Usopp, Robin, Chopper, Brook, Franky.

Before this, these eight members of the Straw Hats who have a deep bond with Straw Hat Luffy had all learned about the tragic war that took place in Marineford through big news. Although they knew that Luffy had left Marineford safely, Zoro and the others were still eager to join Luffy.

However, in the latest newspapers above, Luffy and Silvers Rayleigh tolled the bell eighteen times in the ruined Marineford, delivering the message, "3D/2Y"!

For their own dreams, for the bond between partners, the Straw Hats are on their way to becoming stronger! According to the agreement, after two years, they will start the pirate road again to the New World! However, it is unknown whether there will still be many pirates in the New World by then.

East Blue: In a Revolutionary Army base somewhere.

"Ms. Robin, your stay will be of great help to us!" A Revolutionary Army captain, looking at the intellectual and beautiful Nico Robin in front of him, said excitedly. Nico Robin, the "Devil Child," holds a very special meaning to the Revolutionary Army.

At this time, Robin was holding a cup of strong coffee, and there were two newspapers on top of her beautiful legs. She looked at the front page headlines on the big news, and the news of Luffy's "3D/2Y" on another newspaper, and then looked up at the sea in the distance.

"3D/2Y... Everyone should have received the news. Shiro... turned out to be an open enemy of the World Government and the Navy Headquarter, but if it was him, maybe he could..."

Grand Line:

At the site of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawk Eyes Mihawk on Kuraigana Island!

At this time, in the only ancient castle on the island.

"Hawk Eyes, please!" The Straw Hat Pirates' swordsman, Roronoa Zoro, kowtowed fiercely, making a loud crashing sound. And in front of him was naturally the world's number one swordsman, Hawk Eyes Mihawk!

After returning from Marineford, Hawk Eyes soon discovered Zoro's presence, and the latter had already faced off several times with the island's baboons.

"Please teach me swordsmanship, Hawk Eyes!" Roronoa Zoro gritted his teeth, finally making up his mind in order to become stronger.

In this world, the man who can make him stronger at the fastest speed is the man in front of him!

"Roronoa, do you actually ask the enemy to teach you swordsmanship? Shameless! Get out, boring guy! It seems I overestimated you!" Hawk Eyes' sharp eyes did not fluctuate at all, and his tone was blunt.

Once upon a time, in his eyes, the young man in front of him also had the potential to become a superpower in the future. But it's just potential. The current Roronoa, like the Straw Hat, has not yet reached the level of entry into the house.

Compared with that man, whether it is Luffy or Zoro, it is too far away!

Thinking of that man, Hawk Eyes couldn't help but look forward to it. Just announced a bounty of 3.58 billion Belly, Shiro, known as the new Emperor of the Sea, when will he come to confront him!?

"Roronoa, what you are doing now will only make your weakness even more ugly!"

Hawk Eyes continued to look coldly at Zoro under his feet, but this made Ghost Princess Perona, who was holding a wine red umbrella and floating around, tremble for a while. Terrible, this yellow-eyed man. Even scarier than Moria-sama!

"Hawk Eyes, dignity or anything, it doesn't matter now! I want to become stronger!!"

At this moment, Zoro roared, becoming stronger was his only goal now. In the Sabaody Archipelago, the partners were completely defeated. In front of their absolute strength, their Straw Hats are too weak now! He would never allow something like this to happen again! Absolutely not!

Therefore, even if looked down upon and humiliated, he would still worship the world's number one swordsman as his teacher, and then become stronger!

"Hahaha! The coward who was knocked down by the baboons and returned as nothing happened? I have nothing to teach you!"

"I've already defeated the baboons!" Zoro's firm words spread throughout the castle, just like his bloodstains, all over the island. If you want to ask why, it's because he got lost and went to many wrong places.

At this time, Hawk Eyes was also slightly surprised when he heard that the baboons on the island were knocked down by Zoro. The current Roronoa, whose injuries are not light, can actually knock down those baboons that are not weak?!

"Hawk Eyes, in front of me, only your head is left, but I'm not stupid enough to think I can beat you!" Zoro raised his head and looked directly at the pair of sharp eagle eyes, his aura not weak at all!

"It's really incomprehensible. Since you regard me as an enemy, why are you still begging me to teach you swordsmanship? For what?"

"For my partner, and to surpass you!"

"Hahaha! Do I personally train a swordsman who wants to take my own head? What a strange guy, extremely stupid! My friend, it is the biggest motivation for you to become stronger, stupid man."

The world's number one swordsman, Hawk Eyes, smiled. How wonderful! The new era is really exciting! In today's sea, young people have risen! Headed by Shiro, the new generation may change the pattern of the entire world!

Made up my mind, Hawk Eyes quickly turned his attention to Ghost Princess Perona, who was watching the fun!

Perona was obviously startled, wanted to run, but was stunned by Hawk Eyes' gaze.

"Hey! Ghost girl, heal him!" Hawk Eyes said unceremoniously.

"Hey, don't order me!" Princess Ghost Perona retorted angrily. But unfortunately, no one seemed to want to pay attention to her.

"Roronoa, start practicing after the injury is healed!"

"Damn! You guys, you know how to call people, hey, green algae head idiot, hurry up and go to my room!" Perona was very helpless, but she had no choice but to grab Zoro and slowly float into the house.

"Hey, bastard, take it easy!"

"Negative ghost!"

"Sorry, I'm a maggot!"

...

The world's number one swordsman, Hawk Eyes, felt the lively scene and couldn't help but have a headache. It seems that he can't be quiet for a short time here.

"Um?"

Just as Hawk Eyes was about to drink two more glasses of wine, he suddenly realized something was wrong. On the island, there seems to be a battle!

Boom—

Sure enough, the next moment came the terrifying roar of thunder!

At this moment, the expression of the world's number one swordsman, Hawk Eyes, suddenly became very excited! He didn't expect it to come so quickly!

"Hey, Hawk Eyes, what's going on? Is there anyone else who dares to come to the island of Hawk Eyes, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
