Encounter Hawkeye

Chapter 13: Encounter Hawkeye! Well, What a Terrifying Swordsmanship!

Since the end of Capaji's rebellion, all the pirates have obeyed Solo. Now that they encountered some pirates, they immediately reported to Solo. According to their ideas, Solo is such a powerful marine.

He must be unwilling to stay in a small Loguetown so he wanted to go to the Marine's Headquarters.

It is naturally good for Solo's achievement to wipe out the pirates he encountered now. It is bound to be of great help to his future development.

The most important thing is that after these few days of getting along, the mood of these pirates has changed drastically.

In the sea, it is not unprecedented for pirates to abandon their dark side and become a marine and with Solo's strength, he is bound to become famous in the future.

If they can become his subordinate then their future can be regarded as guaranteed. Based on such a relationship, these are not only for Solo but also for themselves. Now, they can't wait to fight with the pirates they encountered!

"Pirates?"

Hearing this, Solo understood what was going on with the noise just now.

"Do you know that pirate group?" Solo asked casually.

"This..." The pirate couldn't help showing a troubled expression. When he was in the Buggy Pirates, he was just a trainee crew member so he can't l recognize other pirates.

"Let's see."

After thinking for a while, Solo put on his uniform and went straight to the deck. The other pirates noticed Solo, put down what they were doing, and came to the deck with him.

At about 0.23 nautical miles, two pirate ships are fighting but one of them was recognized by Solo at a glance. It was a small sailboat with a dark green hull and only one seat on it.

The man standing above has short black hair, eyes as sharp as an eagle, a short beard on his chin, a black top hat with white fluff on his head, a wine-red patterned shirt, and a black windbreaker.

"Hawkeye..."

Solo frowned slightly, and recognized the pirate's identity at a glance.

Without him, it is really this man, who is too famous.

Dracule Mihawk, the world's number one swordsman, and owner of the Black Blade, Yoru. One of the Shichibukai's, rival and master of Zoro. In less than a second, Solo thought of countless titles.

"I really didn't expect to meet Hawkeye here. Since I met Hawkeye here, it means that the pirate group doesn't need me to take action." Solo thought to himself.

Although Solo always said that he wanted to hide his strength, occasionally when he encountered a pirate group, he would take action to eliminate it without revealing his strength.

After all, kill everyone who knows his strength. It doesn't count as showing his strength.

There are not a few pirates who have disappeared inexplicably in the East Blue these years.

Although "One Piece" describes the story of the protagonist Luffy becoming the King of Pirates, people like Luffy are a minority after all. Most pirates are despicable, selfish guys. Among the many characters in "One Piece", he likes Hawkeye who helps cities.

Because the pirates came to the sea, the civilians panicked, worried about losing their loved ones but Hawkeye is not a pirate who would harm civilians. Saying that he is a pirate, Solo thinks he is more like a warrior pursuing swordsmanship, and the reason why the pirates in East Blue are so weak is that Hawkeye also contributed somewhat.

In other words, Solo acts as if he sees nothing. That pirate group will also be wiped out by Hawkeye.

"Notify the helmsman, leave this sea area at full speed. No matter what, don't get involved with that Hawkeye guy. With our strength, once we are targeted by Hawkeye, we will only be wiped out." Solo said flatly.

Even if these pirates didn't know Hawkeye, they had at least heard of his reputation. When Solo said this news, all the pirates who wore them gasped.

"That man turned out to be Hawkeye..."

"The number one swordsman in the world."

"I heard that his usual hobby is hunting pirates at sea..."

For a while, the pirates present fought a cold war. Although Solo is a marine, they are all real pirates. Once Hawkeye finds them, not to mention whether Solo will help them, even if he has that heart, his strength doesn't allow it!

You know, that's Hawkeye!

The man who bears the title of number one swordsman in the world!

He's like 100x stronger than Capaci's or even worst stronger!

However, just when everyone acted out of panic, not knowing if Hawkeye did it on purpose, he held the cross knife in one hand and swung it vigorously.

Call out!

In an instant, a green sword energy shot out from under his slash. The surface of the sea suddenly rolled and separated towards the two sides, and the picture became bigger and bigger. After a few breaths, huge cracks formed on the rough sea.

Immediately, the seawater poured into the gully formed, like a waterfall under the torrent. And the sword energy from Hawkeye's slash even set off a ten-meter-high air current, heading straight for Solo's patrol boat. The speed was so fast that it was not possible for the helmsman to dodge at full speed.

"Ahhhh!"

"What kind of attack is this!"

"Help, help!"

The pirates who witnessed this scene all screamed, covering their temples with their hands and eyes bulging as if they will fall to the ground at any time. Their mouth was wide open, exaggerated enough to fit a fist into them.

A chill spreads over the patrol boat, and almost every pirate becomes desperate because of Hawkeye's slash.

"This Hawkeye..."

Only Solo stood quietly on the deck alone, facing the attacking sword energy. It was clearly a few tenths of a nautical mile away. Hawkeye's sword energy showed no sign of weakening or stopping and at this speed, the patrol boat cannot dodge.

"If this sword goes down, the patrol boat will probably fall apart."

"It's such a terrifying sword energy..."

Solo couldn't help but feel emotional.

He is truly worthy of being the man who bears the title of the World's Greatest Swordsman.

The entire sea was easily separated.

"Never mind…"

Solo shook his head, grasping the sword on his waist.

Just when the sword energy released by Hawkeye was about to split the patrol boat in two, Solo swung his sword with one hand.

In an instant, the scabbard of the sword directly resisted the incoming sword energy.

He was forced to use 10% of his swordsmanship strength.

Boom!

A loud noise exploded on the spot, and Hawkeye's sword energy was immediately dissipated. A terrifying airflow spread out in all directions, forming huge ripples on the sea surface, turning into huge waves, and pushing the patrol boat away from Hawkeye.

Solo took a few steps back on purpose, showing a loss of balance as he sat down on the barrel.

"Okay, what a terrifying swordsmanship..." Solo mechanically shocked.
