Pirates of the Death

The two of them were very close.

"You are getting further and further away from your brother!"

"Is that all you can do?"

"Although your fighting ability has improved a little, I have seen through it. You can't avoid the slash at this distance!"

Luffy had no power to fight back against Hawkeye, and was almost abused by him.

Just when Hawkeye raised his hand to prepare for another 'flat attack', Luffy suddenly stretched out his arms while running wildly.

A strong sandstorm rolled in from a distance.

Luffy noticed Buggy in the mix early, and stretched out his hands to grab him directly.

"Rubber, jet scapegoat!"

At this time, Hawkeye's slash just came out.

Luffy used both hands to block the "scapegoat" in front of him, and the slash directly cut Buggy in half.

Ahhh——

Baki was confused at first, then screamed wildly, and the upper half of his body suspended in the air pointed directly at Luffy.

Although he didn't feel any pain, the oppression brought by the slash of the world's number one swordsman was enough to terrify him.

"What are you doing, Straw Hat Boy!"

He held Luffy's head, his face full of fear and anger.

"What are you doing? He is the one who cut you, and besides, didn't you just say you came to save me?"

"You guy, how self-righteous are you!"

At this time, Luffy's mind was full of Ace on the execution platform.

No matter how incompetent and furious Buggy was, it was useless.

Maybe it was because Buggy was too noisy, or maybe he wanted to use him to hold Hawkeye.

Luffy grabbed Buggy's shoulders with both hands and threw another "scapegoat" at Hawkeye.

Swish, swish, swish --

Hawkeye naturally accepted all the attacks, and with the black knife in his hand, he slashed several times, and Buggy's upper body turned directly into thin and long strips.

However, no one expected that a "monster" that could "perfectly" resist the slash of the world's number one swordsman was born.

Buggy relied on the ability of the Split Fruit to reorganize his body without suffering any damage.

"Huh?"

Hawkeye was a little surprised.

Buggy was confident.

"Unforgivable, you are Hawkeye, right? Take my special Machi shell!"

Then, his lower body moved, kicked out with his right foot, and the small red shell hidden in the tip of his shoe hit Hawkeye.

Ding --

Hawkeye just blocked it casually, and the shell returned the same way.

As a result, Buggy and several prisoners were drowned in the gunfire.

"Thank you, Buggy, I will never forget your kindness."

Luffy's words were even more murderous, but he just took this opportunity to continue running towards the execution platform.

"Want to run?"

Hawkeye locked his eyes on Luffy again and raised his right hand. However, as soon as the knife was slashed, two long swords attacked from the side blocked him.

Hawkeye looked up and recognized the other party at a glance.

"Captain of the Fifth Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Flower Sword Vista!"

The man was tall and dark-skinned.

There were two curved black beards between his nose and lips, a dark blue top hat, a dark blue shirt, and a scabbard on each side of his belt.

The weapons used were two Western swords.

At this moment, he had a smile on his face and looked at Hawkeye.

"Nice to meet you, Hawkeye Mihawk. Do you know me?"

Hawkeye had a blank expression on his face, and the strength in his hands gradually increased.

"It would be strange if you didn't know me?"

Ding——

When the strength reached the limit, the two of them took two steps back at the same time and pulled away from each other.

…

The two looked at each other with a solemn look between their brows.

"How lucky I am to compete with the world's strongest swordsman on such a battlefield!"

"The Whitebeard Pirates' leading swordsman, the swordsmanship of the flower sword, let me see it."

Vista's mouth corners rose. Although he had a calm personality, he still felt an unspeakable excitement when facing Hawkeye.

"Enjoy it!"

Then, he stomped his feet heavily on the ground and took off into the air with the force.

"Rondo of Roses!"

He saw him put the two swords in front of him, and rose petals seemed to flow in the air.

However, before the sword fell, a low voice with a hint of teasing suddenly sounded from below, and he subconsciously stopped attacking.

"A duel of the world's top swordsmen, can I join in? Two of you!"

As soon as the voice fell, a giant slash spanning nearly a hundred meters slashed vertically.

Under, the powerful destructive force completely tore the ice surface apart, passing between Vista and Hawkeye, separating the two.

Wow——

The sea water slowly overflowed along the two-meter-wide crack, and the ice surface swayed left and right with the vibration of the lower sea water.

Bang——

Vista retracted his two swords and fell back to the ground.

Only the top swordsman could do such a terrifying slash.

He was curious about who the person was?

Then, he turned sideways and looked in the direction of the slash, but saw a man in a black robe walking in the distance.

A familiar figure, he had seen it before...

"So that's it, you are the God of Death Luo Di, right?"

At the beginning of the war, everyone saw the entrance of the God of Death Luo Di.

Vista also noticed him.

What impressed him most was the sharp aura that could not be concealed on Luo Di.

That was the powerful aura that only the top swordsmen had.

When Vista was looking at Lodi, Hawkeye on the other side also turned his head.

"Hmm?"

"It's that kid..."

To be honest, Hawkeye was the first one to notice Lodi on the field.

He was the first to sense the unique aura of a swordsman on Lodi.

It was like facing Shanks before his arm was broken, the blood seemed to be boiling, that was the feeling of wanting to fight.

Hawkeye started practicing swordsmanship since he was a child. When he was young, he traveled around and challenged famous swordsmen on the sea. Until today, he has the title of "the world's first swordsman".

Fighting all the famous and powerful swordsmen in the world and constantly improving himself is his original intention.

"It's been a long time since I felt this way!"

His sharp eyes like an eagle were locked on Lodi, and he felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

When he got closer, Lodi glanced at the two of them.

"It seems that both of you know me, but I'd better introduce myself first. I'm the captain of the Death Pirates, Luo Di. Others also call me the Death God. As for the purpose of my coming here..."

At this time, he drew out the Huangquan from his waist, and the black and red blade reflected a soul-stirring luster under the sunlight.

"It's to spar with the so-called world's top swordsman. I wonder which of you will come first?"

A look of surprise flashed across Vista's eyes.

What he cared about was not Luo Di's slightly arrogant words, but the knife in his hand, Huangquan!

The knife can be said to be the face of a swordsman.

A good knife can not only improve the swordsman's style, but also show the swordsman's strength.
