One Piece: How Can I Become King Of The Pirate If You Don’t Work Hard?

Chapter 75: First Battle with Hawk Eyes



"Even dying while climbing to the top is the most romantic thing for a swordsman."

"That's about it, isn't it?"

"Little brother."

Gawain's mouth curled up: "That's about right."

"But the next thing is what a captain should do."

After speaking, Gawain walked up quickly, took a quick look at Zoro's injuries, and let out a long sigh.

A stab wound in the chest punctured the original wound, but it was not deep.

Hawk Eyes's downward strike almost cut Zoro in half, but he held back and did not injure his bones or internal organs.

With Zoro's physique, it wouldn't be a big deal if he rested for more than half a month.

Gawain picked up Zoro and handed him to Zeff beside him: "Old man, please ask the ship's doctor to treat his wound."

After speaking, Gawain turned his head and looked at Hawk Eyes, who was silent beside him; his eyes were filled with extreme solemnity.

The opponent is the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the world today, a man who once competed with Red Hair for many years. 

In terms of swordsmanship, he is even superior to Red Hair!

He absolutely has Diamond-level combat power.

Compared with Gawain's current silver rating, it is a full two levels away.

You have to know that even among Iron of the same level, the gap between the strong and the weak is so large that one party can kill the other party almost instantly.

Therefore, in this battle, whether Gawain can win or not, even if he can survive, all depends on Hawk Eyes's choice.

But the more this happened, the more at ease he felt inside and the calmer the expression on his face became.

Since there is no choice, just do the best you can. This is what he has always believed in.

Thinking of this, Gawain turned to look at Zeff and said: "If I die here, you can go to Pala Island and ask the pirates there for money."

"Snort."

Zeff groaned and twirled his beard.

Originally influenced by Sanji, he also had a little prejudice against Gawain.

But now it seems that no matter what, the person in front of him doesn't look like someone who would do that kind of thing.

"Don't die, kid. I'd rather have you pay for it yourself."

"Ahhhh."

Gawain smiled helplessly: "It's hard to say what will happen when facing a guy like that."

Zeff's expression remained unchanged, and he whispered: "The people on your ship are in the storeroom. They are fine."

"Thanks."

Gawain thanked Zeff, then turned to look at Sanji: "Young man, would you consider coming to my ship? I need a cook, too."

Sanji was stunned; a hint of anger flashed across his face, and then it disappeared the next moment.

If this man dies here, will he never know the truth?

"Hey!"

Sanji opened his mouth but didn't say what he was thinking; he just said: "Don't die!"

Gawain smiled slightly: "Then, if I survive, you can come with me. I'm tired of the pig food made by those bastards!"

"Who wants to get on your boat? Asshole!"

"Well."

Gawain smiled slightly without getting angry and turned around, took a few steps to the deck, and stood in front of Hawk Eyes.

For a while, no one dared to make a sound because they were extremely looking forward to the upcoming battle.

Everything was quiet all around; even the surging sea beneath one's feet seemed to have stopped at this moment.

A few seagulls flew over the water, and before they could grab their prey in the water, they flapped their wings and flew high as if frightened, and in a panic, a few feathers fell into the sea.

Clang!

After a buzzing sound, Guanze Masamune was unsheathed, and the silver-white blade reflected the light of the setting sun, making it appear red.

Hawk Eyes stood with a sword in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him, making the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

"You are even more impressive than I thought. So impressive that I am a little hesitant about whether to pick this unripe right now."

"But..."

"You shouldn't have brought him here today."

"Yeah?"

Gawain understood what Hawk Eyes meant, but he did not feel any regret: "If I don't bring that guy with me, he will probably hate me for the rest of his life. Besides, you were coming for me from the beginning, right?"

"Rather than saying that I rescued these companions, it would be better to say that they were implicated by me."

Hawk Eyes didn't comment but just looked at Gawain calmly: "It has been many years since I last saw a real swordsman."

"Those who have entered the New World, even if they are stronger than you and that guy, will never have the courage to disregard their life and death."

"I have seen too many people crying and begging for mercy. It is really exciting to see young people like you who know you are no match for your opponent but still have the will to seek the truth."

"Even this guy is beginning to crave your blood!"

Gawain lowered his eyes and looked at the black sword in Hawk Eyes's hand. The blade that had just wounded Zoro was not stained with a trace of blood.

"Is this what it is called... Black Blade?"

"Do you know the Black Blade too?"

Hawk Eyes was slightly stunned: "Every sword, tempered and polished by the swordsman's faith and will, can become a Black Blade."

"The sword in your hand can also become one."

Gawain grinned, letting the fighting spirit rise in his body: "There's no point in talking anymore; just let me see the world's number one scenery!"

As the sound landed.

The deck beneath Gawain's feet exploded instantly, and the new feature he had just gotten brought him a speed beyond imagination.

The sound of the deck cracking had not even reached anyone's ears.

Gawain's figure already appeared in front of Hawk Eyes, and Guanze Masamune, whose edge was dyed red due to the afterglow of the setting sun, suddenly stabbed forward.

"Infinite Protrusion!"

This is Gawain's strongest and fastest move now!

The thrust driven by Pussyfoot Maneuver and Flash Step was several times faster than the speed he had displayed in Raven Harbor.

In addition, Gawain's own skill levels have been breaking through continuously during this period of time.

If he gets the initiative, even someone who is stronger than him will take damage when facing this move!

Only…

"That's quite a ferocious speed!"

Hawk Eyes murmured, his appreciation barely concealed in his eyes, but his hands did not slow down at all.

The sword in his hand also suddenly stabbed forward, one red and one black; the tips of the two swords collided accurately.

Boom!

The force brought by the collision was released to the deck under the feet of the two people. 

The deck of the Baratie suddenly sank at this moment and was almost overturned because it could not withstand the huge force.

The extended deck split directly in the middle, and the recoil force pushed Gawain and the deck under his feet dozens of meters away.

"What happened?"

The people who managed to keep their balance looked bewildered.

In just a moment, the deck was completely shattered. 

Looking at the solemn-looking Gawain and the indifferent Hawk Eyes, everyone felt their scalps tingling.

"They have already fought? What kind of speed is this? Can humans really reach this level?"

It was not until this moment that everyone understood a fact.

When it comes to the battle between top experts, they may not even be qualified to watch.
