Chapter 416 The Ship Is Innocent
"Boring." Hawkeye's answer was simple.
After killing a swordsman in Alabasta, he returned to his own territory, Kraikana Island, where he read newspapers, farmed, beat baboons every day, and occasionally dealt with some ignorant challengers and small pirates.
Although he lived in a huge castle, drank fine red wine, and wore exquisitely made clothes, his life was very boring and he had to go out and find something to do from time to time.
Hawkeye doesn't have many hobbies, except to chop some famous swordsmen , or chase some interesting pirates with a cat-and-mouse mentality.
For example, this time they encountered a group of pirates. After they landed on Kraikana Island, they not only beat the baboons around Hawkeye's house, but also trampled on Hawkeye's vegetable fields.
So Hawkeye chased the pirate group of more than a thousand people from Kraikana Island all the way to Nagahanaga Island, and finally sank their ship.
Hawkeye was familiar with the route of the Long Ring Long Island. He calculated that the Amber Tour Group should arrive here soon, so he simply waited here for a few days.
However, Hawkeye didn't want to tell Zhang Da about this. His attention was now on Altria... and Tom.
Altria responded, "It's been a long time, Mihawk."
Tom tilted his head. Who is this person?
Zhang Da also leaned over to Tom's ear and whispered, "He was the one who came to our pub to drink without paying, and finally gave you his hat as payment."
The sound was kept very low, just loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.
After hearing this, Tom nodded repeatedly, indicating that he remembered it.
Hawkeye had a blank expression. Didn't you pay for the last drink? I don't remember. He wouldn't remember such trivial matters. Besides, you are world-famous figures after all. Is it appropriate to remember the money for a glass of wine until now?
"Who is he?" Weiwei asked in a low voice.
"The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye, Mihawk." Rui Mengmeng introduced, "I've seen him before in the Sabaody Archipelago. He has competed with Altria and Teacher Tom in swordsmanship. He is a very powerful person. At that time, I was a little worried that the island would be split in half."
"So it's him..." People who came later than Rui Mengmeng had never seen Hawkeye. They might have seen his photo in the newspaper, but they didn't dare to recognize him at first.
Everyone curiously asked about the result of the competition. Rui Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "It should be a draw. Both games were draws."
Hawkeye stared at Altria, his right hand already grasping the hilt of Black Blade Night: "I have been looking forward to meeting you again on the sea. Although it is earlier than expected, it doesn't matter. Let me try the sword in your hand again!"
'You guys' refers to Altria and Tom. Hawkeye's intuition told him that Altria had become stronger, much stronger than the last time they met, and he couldn't wait to fight her.
On the other hand, Tom, who had given him a big surprise last time, didn't seem to have changed much. However, Tom's swordsmanship was not common sense, so Hawkeye still remained expectant.
Tom didn't want to meet his expectations. This guy always cuts cats into dices. Isn't that scary? If it weren't for the fact that he and Altria had a good relationship, Tom would have wanted to knock him out.
"Okay." Altria was very happy to have someone with whom she could exchange sword skills.
Zhang Da also interrupted, "If you really want to fight, find a spacious place. Our ship is innocent."
"Let's go to the east coast." Hawkeye glanced at Zhang Daye. This man was really talented in ruining other people's fun, although what he said made sense.
The statue on the bow was so moved that it was almost in tears. This man still has some conscience.
Changhuan Changdao is an archipelago consisting of ten small islands, which are connected to each other to form a circle, like a string of pearls.
Every year, there is a big low tide, which exposes the adjacent islands. Residents can take advantage of that day to migrate to the adjacent islands. The journey takes several hours. Therefore, the distance between the islands is not small, so there is no need to worry about the fight between two people affecting the neighboring islands.
"The animals here are so strange." Perona looked around curiously on the way.
The cranes flying in the sky and the deer running on the ground, almost every animal has an extremely slender body, as if it was photoshopped by someone with very crude photo editing skills, and it looks very uncoordinated.
Zhang Da even saw an elongated version of a dog, which was about the same height as an ordinary dog, but at least twenty meters long. He seemed to have seen such a dog in Tom and Jerry, and it crossed the road like a train.
"Not just animals, plants are also very tall!" Wendy and Vivi looked up at the slender trees, almost learning the empress's contemptuous posture without any instruction.
"These rare beasts are so rare that people would believe they are monsters." If Ye Yan had not seen the Rare Beast Island, he would have almost raised the Huang Yao Banner to capture the monsters.
"I hope it won't affect the taste." Zhang Da also saw that Altria was not in the mood to think about this for the time being, and felt that he should consider it for her first.
Tom immediately became excited when he heard that. He stuck out his tongue and looked around to see which lucky little animal was suitable for lunch.
"We can just stop here." Zhang Da also signaled everyone to stop, allowing Altria and Hawkeye to continue walking towards the beach.
"So far?" Jackie Chan estimated the distance. It was more than a hundred meters away.
Zhang Da also said: "If we get any closer, we'll be easily affected. Even here, Mengmeng and I might have to be ready to help everyone block the knife."
"Ah? Block the knife?" Rui Mengmeng was stunned for a moment before she drew her sword and stood in front of everyone. She was usually used to following behind her companions, not because she was afraid of danger, but because she simply lacked confidence.
Zhang Da also took out a sword and said, "Who said we are the toughest?"
Hawkeye noticed the moment the two men drew their swords, and then was slightly surprised. He should have seen these two men before, but at that time they were not worthy of his attention. But now, it seems that they have made a lot of progress.
Interesting, this team is getting more and more interesting.
At this moment, Hawkeye had no time to think and held the black knife tightly.
Altria on the opposite side appeared in a blue skirt and silver armor, holding the Sword of Promised Victory in her hand - without using the Wind King's Barrier.
The two men looked at each other and raised their swords at the same time, swinging them together. Two huge slashes split the ground, collided in the middle, and disappeared into thin air at the same time. A gust of wind spread out from the point of impact.
"Wow!" The little girls held down their skirts, and their long hair fluttered in the wind.
Jackie Chan raised his arms to shield his face: "Is this a swordsman's sparring?"
"Now you understand why I stopped here, right?" Zhang Da also said, "Uncle Long, if you think it's okay, you can take a closer look."
"No, thank you." Uncle Long rejected Zhang Daye's kindness, and he even wanted to stay away from him.
"Oh, right." Zhang Da also remembered something and whispered, "If Altria has an accident later, don't worry about anything else, just beat Hawkeye up first."
Jackie Chan hesitated and said, "Didn't we say we should spar with each other? Is this okay?"
Ye Yan didn't have such concerns: "What's wrong with that? That guy looks like someone who is not easy to deal with. You should think about defeat before you think about victory."
"That's right. What if he gets too excited?" Zhang Da also said, "I've thought of the process. Ye Yan will strike the gong first to launch a sneak attack, then Perona will follow up, then Long Shulong will blast and bomb remotely, and then..."
Tom listened carefully. Altria was one of his own. If she was hurt... he would take off all the gems on Hawkeye's sword!
"How about I let the flag monster lurk over there first?"
"Forget it, that guy has a very sharp perception." Everyone continued to whisper.
Hawkeye was unaware of some people's little plans. Seeing a smile on Altria's face, he felt right. Altria had indeed become stronger.
Is it because he is still young and his body is growing so his strength is increasing rapidly? Or is it because he encountered strong enemies after going out to sea, so his skills have improved?
That’s great. Hawkeye is happy that he has found a new opponent. Since Shanks broke his arm, is there finally someone who can duel with him often?
After the two men swung out a few more strikes in the air, they rushed towards each other at the same time, and the two swords collided with each other, making a pleasant sound.
Without any pause, the two swords separated and then collided again. Both of them increased their strength and speed at the same time.
Clang! Clang!
The swords collided again and again with increasing force, and the figures of the two men became more and more erratic. Tiny cracks began to appear on the ground around the battle circle, and the grass tips and rocks on the ground were flattened in large pieces.
The expressions of the two began to become more serious than ever before, and their figures became more difficult to capture. What followed was the collapse of the ground and huge waves surging on the sea!
Hawkeye seemed to be enjoying it, and became more and more excited as the fight went on: "Come on, show me your strength!"
"Ha~~" Altria let out a light shout, the long sword in her hand glowed with dazzling golden light, and she chopped out with all her strength.
Hawkeye held the knife with both hands, and took a bow-step forward stance to draw the knife. An astonishing aura burst out from his body, and lightning appeared faintly around the blade.
Altria showed no sign of weakness, she raised her aura and confronted Hawkeye head-on.
This sword fight was different from the previous ones. The two weapons did not seem to be touching each other. The two men wrestled in the air and it was difficult to tell who was the better.
Buzz~~
Invisible energy radiated out, Hawkeye's cloak fluttered, Altria's skirt armor lifted up, and the ground dozens of meters around the two of them suddenly sank.
The strong wind blew away, sand and stones flew, grass and trees fell down, the sea water surged towards the distance, and above the sky... the clouds seemed to be split in half.
"Ah~~~~~" Perona was so frightened that her face showed expression. Was this the opponent they had just discussed plotting against?
"So amazing..." Wendy and Xia Lulu looked above their heads in shock.
Weiwei stared at the sky blankly: " The sky is split open!"
Kalu: “Quack!”
"Is this really a swordsman?" Jackie Chan was stunned. "I should ask if this is still a human being?"
"Damn, this level is beyond the scope, right?" Ye Yan suspected that he had to enter the domination mode to use the Soul-Suppressing Gong to subdue such an enemy.
"So awesome, so awesome..." Rui Mengmeng held her sword, "Will I be able to be this awesome in the future?"
Shark Chili silently calculated what would happen if his shark giant took the sword.
Tom has already hugged Zhang Daye's thighs. He feels that this is unscientific. Is it possible to make such noises in a sword fight?
Zhang Daye was also shocked now. There was a difference between hearsay and close observation. The slight vibration of the ground beneath his feet reminded him that all this was real and was happening right before his eyes.
If they continue traveling like this, sooner or later they will encounter an enemy with such power.
However, Zhang Da became excited again. He possessed unique advantages. Sooner or later, he would also possess such power. Perhaps if he was bolder, sooner or later, he would be able to hang Hawkeye up and beat him!
On the other side, Altria and Hawkeye didn't remain in a stalemate for too long. They exerted force and their bodies crossed each other, then fought again.
In fact, Artoria was a little surprised by the strange phenomenon in the sky, but she had no time to think about it during the battle. She just displayed all the sword skills she had learned, understood, and acquired since coming to this world, and tested her ideas in front of the great swordsman Hawkeye.
Hawkeye was quite happy to see this happen: "This move has the shadow of a certain navy, this move is somewhat like the swordsmanship of the giants, this move is actually somewhat similar to my style, this stabbing technique is also very interesting..."
"Is it all someone else's style? No...it has been perfectly integrated into your own fighting skills !"
Hawkeye realized that what Altria did was never a poor imitation, but she used her sword skills just right in the way that suited her best.
The battle lasted for several more hours, and the coast was already in ruins. The two men had managed to carve out a semicircular bay there.
If you look closely at the inner wall of the bay, you will find that what appears to be a smooth arc from a distance is actually composed of countless straight and smooth cross-sections.
Zhang Daye and the others had retreated nearly a hundred meters again, and the three little lolis yawned together.
To be honest, high-end battles get boring after watching for a long time. Not only them , Zhang Da also feels a little sleepy: "If we keep fighting, it will be dark soon..."
Gurgle...
The stomach growled and Tom covered his flat belly with his hands, looking pitiful.
Zhang Da also felt uncomfortable. Tom's appearance reminded him of the days when he and Tom were hungry and full when they first arrived in this world: "Let's go hunting. We can fill our stomachs first. Altria will definitely be hungry later."
This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone, so several long and thin prey were processed and put up.
Zhang Daye also cut down a few towering fruit trees. It is worthy of being called Changhuan Changdao, even the fruit trees are frighteningly tall, and the fruits on the trees are also long and thin.
Before long, the aroma of barbecue wafted into the air, and everyone sat down in a row to eat fruit.
Zhang Da also helped Tom and Rui Mengmeng distribute the barbecue to everyone. When it was his turn, a little hand naturally took the food from his hand.
"Hmm?" Zhang Da also raised his head.
"Thank you, Tatsuya, it's delicious." Altria had already started eating happily, with Hawkeye standing beside her.
"When did you finish fighting?"
"Just now." Hawkeye answered for Altria, and then said casually, "I want the meat from there, just cut it into this size."
Zhang Da also rolled his eyes at him and threw the knife in his hand to him: "Cut it yourself!"
I had the impression that Hawkeye was aloof, but why was he so friendly today? Did he learn this from Red Hair?
"So, who won between you two?"
