Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

"Magino!? What does it have to do with her?"

Luffy looked confused. He was so naive that he couldn't understand the meaning of Chi Hong's words.

But soon, he changed his subject.

"never mind."

"Chihong, you said there will be a chance for us to become stronger quickly. Is that true?"

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

Chihong smiled calmly, showing her shining and white teeth, which was very convincing.

At least to Luffy.

"whee."

Luffy put his hands behind his head and said relaxedly:

"Of course I believe you."

"I'm just a little excited!"

"A world-class strong man~ If I can defeat them, I shouldn't be far away from becoming the Pirate King, right?"

"Well..." Chihong looked slightly hesitant, "If it's only to this extent, it probably won't work..."

"If even Usopp can defeat them, then you can almost become the Pirate King!?"

"Huh? You want this!?"

Luffy looked slightly disappointed, but he didn't feel that what Chi Hong said was impossible.

After all, he is Luffy's partner, and there is a trainer named Chihong as his vice-captain...

He believes that his future partners will definitely become strong men who can stand alone!

All that matters is time!

Looking at Usopp pushing a wheelchair out, Luffy grinned:

"If you say that, I want Usopp to work hard!"

"So good!"

Chihong smiled indifferently, very happy to see his captain able to help him squeeze out the potential of the crew!

……

……

Soon after.

Before Barati's chefs and the tourists in the nearby sea could recover from the shock of Luffy destroying the battleship with one punch...

A coffin-shaped boat glowing with green fire slowly emerged from behind the wreckage of the battleship.

On the small boat, a man with sharp eyes like an eagle raised his head, looked at the damaged battleship, and then looked at the direction of the Meili.

He suddenly spoke and said calmly with a hint of regret:

"The toy I finally found to pass the time seems to have been broken!"

"Brother Sauron, that man is..."

On board the Meili, Johnny and Joseph were immediately shocked when they saw the visitor, and pointed forward with moved expressions.

And Zoro had already cast his gaze over, staring straight at that man.

"That's right!"

At this moment, Zoro's throat rolled and he felt his beating heart. He immediately answered with trembling hands:

"He is...the man I am looking for!!!"

Although I have already received a notification from Chihong...

But when the goal he had been pursuing suddenly appeared in front of him, Zoro couldn't help but trembled in his heart.

The scene of the agreement with Gu Yina under the moonlight appeared in his mind involuntarily.

The Meili drove slowly towards the direction of Hawkeye. After arriving near Hawkeye's boat, Sauron immediately jumped onto the wreckage of the battleship.

I saw him put on his turban, and a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Then he slowly pulled out the long knife from his waist, and raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a young and arrogant smile.

"The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk!!!"

"I went to sea to see you!"

"You're very free, right?"

"Come and compete with me!?"

Under the scorching sun, the three long knives flashed with blazing light.

Zoro invited in a tone that could not be refused.

"Ok?"

And his voice also successfully attracted Hawkeye's attention.

In an instant, the entire sea suddenly became quiet.

Sanji on the Merry lights a cigarette.

Although we have a general understanding of Sauron's dream through Johnny and Joseph's explanation.

But when he saw Sauron inviting Hawkeye to fight without hesitation, his pupils trembled subconsciously for a moment.

"Challenge me?" Hawkeye lowered his head and made a steady voice: "What is your goal?"

Sauron replied without hesitation: "Beyond you! Become the strongest!!!"

The sea breeze blows, and waves pass through this quiet sea area.

"Humph~"

Hawkeye let out a chuckle: "How stupid!"

Having said that, he finally stepped off the boat and came to the opposite side of Sauron.

Then, just like the original plot, he took out a cross knife from his chest.

"I can feel that your swordsmanship has indeed improved slightly."

"But if this alone makes you think you are qualified to challenge me..."

"That would be a little too ridiculous."

Hawkeye obviously has no interest in fighting weaklings.

He raised the palm-sized knife in his hand, with a look of disdain in his eyes:

"Sorry!"

"This is already the smallest knife I have."

Zoro frowned.

Although this was also included in the "future" described by Chihong, when everything actually happened, he still felt unhappy inside.

But in an instant, he smiled relievedly.

"Really? Then I hope you can persist, but never..."

"Don't take out your black knife!!!"

Stab~! ! !

Dazzling lightning suddenly bloomed on Sauron's body, covering his whole body like a piece of golden armor!

The next second, Zoro looked up.

The originally resolute eyes turned into ferocious beasts at this moment, looking at everything in front of them greedily and cruelly!

Without giving the scornful Hawkeye any chance to prepare, he bowed directly.

"Three Swordsman Style·Thunder Blade·Ryuga!!!"

Ouch~! ! !

There is no prelude!

The power of thunder and lightning wrapped around Sauron's body suddenly expanded, forming a roaring and ferocious dragon head, attacking towards the direction of Eagle Eye.

At the same time, a slight pressure suddenly invaded Hawkeye's mind.

It was Zoro's characteristic feeling of oppression.

"Huh!? This feeling..."

Feeling the aura released from Sauron, Hawkeye's eyes finally changed at this moment.

You can’t go wrong!

Although this feeling of oppression is still very slight, it is definitely something that can happen only once in a million people - domineering and domineering! ! !

“Interesting~”

The corners of Hawkeye's mouth suddenly curved.

Although he was a little surprised, there was no pause in the movements of his hands.

Broken~!

Just a slight thrust forward, without any fancy special effects or any unnecessary movements...
