Chapter 596: You? Almost beat Altria?
He had originally planned to use Diamanti as bait to trick Hawkeye into coming over and chopping people, but he ended up getting chopped by him, unfortunately not to death.
Zhang Da also asked: "You killed Diamante, but did Doflamingo give you any trouble?"
Hawkeye said indifferently: "It doesn't matter."
In fact, Doflamingo didn't dare to provoke Hawkeye, because he was a bachelor and could come and go as he pleased. Doflamingo, on the other hand, was a wealthy man. If Hawkeye injured a few more of his officers, causing normal affairs to be unable to proceed, he would be the one who would feel the pain in the end.
Even if he took action himself, the outcome was uncertain. As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Doflamingo could only silently remember this incident and think about giving Hawkeye another chance in the future.
Zhang Da also asked: "Then why did you go to Dressrosa?"
This Hawkeye didn't hide it: "To find a swordsman."
With Hawkeye's concise narration and Shukalet's supplement, Zhang Da also understood the whole story.
To be more precise, Hawkeye came here to find a sword fighter.
Hawkeye's purpose is to find various swordsmen and hone his swordsmanship.
So he went to fight Red Hair, followed Red Hair to chop down a swordsman under Wang Zhi, and went to the Whitebeard Pirates to find Vista...
For more than a year, he had been wandering around in the New World and had no time to go home, so much so that the vegetables in his home were stolen for a whole season and he didn't even know that his baboon was beaten.
Over the past year, he had defeated all sorts of opponents and was constantly trying to find out about outstanding swordsmen. Recently, Hawkeye had heard two rumors the most: one about a blind swordsman with a burly figure, and the other about a swordsman with an undefeated record of 3,000 bouts.
The blind swordsman's whereabouts are elusive, but the swordsman with three thousand fights undefeated is in Dressrosa.
So Hawkeye came, but after arriving he forgot who he was looking for.
The legendary swordsman who remained undefeated for three thousand bouts? That's just a legend...
No matter how he asked around in Dressrosa, the only news the residents told him was that there was indeed a legend about a swordsman named Cyrus in the arena , and there was even a statue of him there.
But that was just a story made up to create an atmosphere in the arena. How could someone be undefeated in 3,000 games?
Hawkeye felt something was wrong. Every decision he made was calm and decisive. It was impossible for him to come here just for a vague legend. There must be something wrong.
Then, during the investigation, he met Diamanti, who was ordered to hunt down Shukalet and her daughter in the flower field.
He wanted to find Cyrus but found Cyrus' wife and daughter instead. This could not be considered a chance encounter, even though the mother and daughter no longer remembered Cyrus.
Diamanti was shocked: "Hawkeye? Why are you here?"
Hawkeye said truthfully: "Just passing by."
Diamanti expressed his disbelief. Why did he pass by me just when I was about to take action, instead of earlier or later?
This guy is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, just like the young master. He comes at such a critical moment, could he be here to ruin the young master's plan?
Diamanti couldn't allow this to happen. He ordered his men to inform the young master while drawing his sword. "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Don't look at me like this. I almost defeated that female swordsman from the Amber Tour Group!"
Diamanti made a quick calculation. He had lost against Altria because he was surrounded and ambushed, and Hawkeye hadn't been able to defeat Altria in a one-on-one duel...
Hawkeye is nothing special!
He wanted to confront him, but Hawkeye was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea after all, and their status was not equal, so he had to notify the young master to come and calm the situation.
"Is that so? So you think you're a good swordsman too?" Hawkeye, who originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, didn't want to leave after hearing what he said.
"Don't underestimate me!" Diamante gave it his all from the start, throwing out all his sword moves and devil fruit abilities at once, such as the Army Flag, the Snake Sword, the Death Stardust... each name was louder than the other.
Hawkeye: Basic attack, basic attack, basic attack...
After casually dealing with a few moves, Hawkeye frowned. This thing almost defeated Altria?
Diamanti praised Hawkeye, saying, "You are worthy of being the world's greatest swordsman," and then used all his strength to use his strongest sword move - Half Moon Funeral!
Hawkeye: Basic attack.
Diamanti fell to the ground, and Diamanti's men pointed their guns at Hawkeye, but looking at the battlefield that was in a mess after being beaten by the two men, they swallowed their saliva and bravely raised their weapons to make way for Hawkeye.
Although Shukalet didn't know why the two men suddenly started fighting, the only way to survive at the moment was to follow Hawkeye.
Fortunately, Hawkeye was a man who looked cold on the outside but was actually kind-hearted. Although he didn't necessarily offer to help, he didn't chase the mother and daughter away even though they followed him pitifully.
Just like in the original plot, although he said he disliked Perona for living in his castle without permission, he never drove her away. Although he was not very enthusiastic when he saw Zoro, he lent him a boat when Zoro needed it, told him the origin of the baboon, and even told him first-hand information about Luffy.
So Hawkeye lived with the mother and daughter for a while. Since he couldn't get any useful information in Dressrosa, he came to the neighboring country of Prudence to take a look.
Shukalet thought about it and felt that if Hawkeye left, she and her daughter would definitely not survive, so she shamelessly and bravely followed him.
Hawkeye usually
Hawkeye ignored her, but after a few days he discovered that the child had good talent. When she grew up, she should be able to easily surpass the group of baboons in his family, so he would give her some guidance when he was in a good mood.
On the other side, Ming Ge was in trouble. He came out and picked up a seriously injured Diamanti. Although Hawkeye could easily find him, he ignored him.
Doflamingo knows Hawkeye better than Diamante. If that guy said he was just passing by, then that means he was just passing by. Today's incident can only be blamed on Diamante for thinking too much and making too much of a fuss.
Fortunately, Diamanti was not hacked to death, and the mother and daughter did not know the truth. It was not that important, so they just endured it.
Besides this, Cyrus suffered greatly.
The once legendary swordsman has been turned into a toy soldier. Fortunately, Sucrose did not have time to sign a 'contract' with him, so he can move freely.
But unfortunately, he couldn't find his wife and daughter.
Moreover, he is wanted nationwide as a 'criminal toy'. Only he himself knows how much pain he feels.
