Chapter 132: The World's Greatest Swordsman, Joracol Mihawk
After dealing with this matter, Moria left directly, and did not stay in Greenbit. Instead, Garris wanted to see the legendary dwarf village, so he stayed there.
For Moria, coming to Dressrosa and conquering the dwarfs was just a side purpose. Coming to the New World, the most important thing is to collect the bodies and shadows of the strong.
Strength is the most important.
The next day, after a night of rest, Moria's pirate group left some people to guard, and the rest of the elite crew began to follow Moria, wandering around the sea around Dressrosa and hunting pirates.
The navy's mission for Moria is not just to guard Dressrosa, but this area. At the same time, if possible, cooperate with the navy to capture pirates.
For the navy's request, Moria would not care at all if it was normal. Who would be willing to do such a thankless task?
However, Moria's strength has reached a bottleneck in recent times, and it is difficult to make any breakthroughs with ordinary training. Only by fighting, through fighting, can this bottleneck be broken and the strength of the quasi-admiral be reached, and only in this world can one barely have the power to protect himself.
The world of pirates is not as simple as Moria imagined. The current strength is far from enough, and it must go further.
Moria has a hunch that this trip to the New World, although full of crises, is also an opportunity for Moria to break through his own strength at this stage.
To Moria's surprise, Cyrus asked to go out with Moria.
Perhaps it was the change in the situation in the New World that gave him a sense of urgency, or perhaps he wanted to be wary of Moria.
However, no matter what his purpose is, Moria also has some respect for daring to walk out of Dressrosa, especially at this critical point. Daring to step out of the comfort zone and step into the unknown area is already very good.
Is it really bad to be a pirate who can become a Seven Warlords of the Sea?
No, since he can be appointed as a Seven Warlords of the Sea by the World Government, he must have his own strengths.
Whether it is Crocodile or Moria, in the original work, since they were able to fight Whitebeard and Kaido respectively and escape from them, they naturally have abilities. But later, all of them were killed by Luffy. It's not just Luffy's protagonist halo, but more of his loss of that enterprising spirit. He stayed in his own safe zone and never came out again, completely unaware of the changes in the world.
Even Doflamingo in the New World is the same. Although his base is in the New World, since he got in touch with Kaido and had this layer of protection, he also lost his enterprising spirit and focused on his business.
If we talk about the Seven Warlords who have been challenging themselves, only Hawkeye is there. Jinbei can only be considered half, and he always has no time because of the things on Fishman Island.
Among the Seven Warlords who responded to the Navy this time, only Hawkeye came, but now there is one more Moria.
Hawkeye, who is obsessed with kendo, naturally doesn't want to miss such a large-scale battle in the New World. In fact, cooperating with the navy to capture pirates is just a side job. Fighting with various kendo masters and improving his kendo is the most important thing.
Anyway, Hawkeye doesn't care about the navy's requirements and tasks. He drives the coffin ship alone, rushes around in the New World, and fights with powerful swordsmen.
The navy is helpless about Hawkeye, so let him go! Anyway, the appearance of Hawkeye is more or less helpful to the navy.
In short, in the past few days, Hawkeye has been seen in the newspapers from time to time, such as defeating a well-known swordsman and destroying a pirate group with one slash. In short, the name Hawkeye has often appeared in newspapers during this period.
However, more importantly, Hawkeye fought with One-Eye, one of the three giants of the Pirate Alliance. As the only great swordsman in the Pirate Alliance and one of the few great swordsmen in the world, Hawkeye will naturally not let him go and challenge him directly.
That battle was the ultimate battle of swordsmen. Both sides refused to give in. The sword energy was overflowing. The sky was almost split open with slashes. However, this battle did not determine the winner. Due to the changes in the battlefield situation and the intervention of other pirate groups, the battle had to be stopped.
But from the performance of the two people, the swordsman who watched the battle thought that Hawkeye was slightly better, because Hawkeye was calm throughout the whole process, facing the attacks of the one-eyed man and resolving them one by one. Although the one-eyed man attacked sharply, he still couldn't do anything to Hawkeye.
More importantly, Hawkeye didn't have any wounds on his body, not even a corner of his clothes was damaged, and he was as bright as new. Although the one-eyed man didn't suffer any injuries, his clothes were cut by Hawkeye in two places, one of which was scratched by the sword energy and a small wound was rubbed out, with a trace of blood flowing out.
Naturally, the result is obvious.
Although this kind of wound is nothing, this little difference is a world of difference.
Ever since the Pirate Alliance was praised by the outside world as one of the Four Emperors, there have been rumors that One-Eye, as the only great swordsman in the Pirate Alliance and now known as one of the Four Emperors, should be the "world's greatest swordsman."
Indeed, although the Pirate Alliance is called the power of the Four Emperors, the Four Emperors are too unstable and are in danger of overturning at any time. If he can win the title of "The World's Greatest Swordsman", then it will greatly enhance the reputation of the Pirate Alliance, and even allow One-Eye himself to stand out in the Pirate Alliance, and the other two giants will become the real The four emperors.
Therefore, this battle will determine the ownership of the "world's greatest swordsman".
The dead are speechless, and the losers have no right to speak.
Hawkeye's position as the "world's greatest swordsman" was once again consolidated, but the Pirate Alliance's morale plummeted, they lost many troops and generals, and lost several pieces of territory.
At the same time, Hawkeye is unparalleled and firmly holds the position of "the world's greatest swordsman".
Some people even say that Hawkeye came to the New World this time just for the throne of the Four Emperors.
As soon as this statement came out, it instantly detonated the new world.
yes! Over the years, most of the great pirates on the sea have relied on Devil Fruit to reach the top. Even Roger, the Pirate King, is more prominent in the use of physical skills and domineering. Although he also has superb swordsmanship, it is not the main one.
But now, as a pure swordsman, Hawkeye has reached this point, which can be said to be the first person in history.
There has never been a person who has reached the top of the pirate world as a swordsman. Now that Hawkeye has the strength and reputation, and is right on the cusp of this crisis, he can completely replace the Pirate Alliance and become one of the top four pirates. The position of the emperor.
This is unprecedented and makes history!
When they thought of this, the swordsmen were so excited that they set off one after another to look for Hawkeye, form a pirate group, and join Hawkeye's command in order to ascend to the position of the Four Emperors. This is to rectify the reputation of swordsmen, showing that even with pure swordsmanship, one can reach the top of the sea.
Morgans was not afraid of excitement. He analyzed the current advantages and disadvantages of Hawkeye and the possibility of becoming a Yonko. Finally, he ranked Hawkeye second on the list of candidates for the Yonko. He concluded,
"Hawkeye is the most powerful swordsman in the world in history. He is only one step away from becoming the Four Emperors."
As the news spread, there was a wave of learning swordsmanship throughout the pirate world, and various swordsmanship gyms sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
Swordsmen all over the world were excited, but the navy and the world government were frightened.
"Eagle Eye, I asked you to come here to help round up the pirates, not to compete for the position of the Four Emperors."
"This is different from the script you agreed on!"
Both the top brass of the navy and the five old stars held meetings overnight to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Because as Morgans said, Hawkeye is only one step away from the position of the Four Emperors.
Lack of strength? There is no shortage!
All Hawkeye lacks is a powerful pirate group.
But is this matter difficult for Hawkeye?
It's not difficult, it's really easy.
Didn't you see those swordsmen looking for Hawkeye everywhere like crazy?
The pirate group has been set up. Just wait for the captain Hawkeye to return to his position, and the pirate group will be completed.
For a time, the situation in the new world instantly became confusing and even more chaotic.
Perhaps stimulated by Hawkeye, the dormant pirate groups took action one after another and began to compete for the position of the Four Emperors. The Pirate Alliance's status was in jeopardy, and they had to make every effort to shrink their territory, concentrate their forces, and prepare for the final battle.
At the same time, the whirlpool of this war also expanded to the territory of other Yonko pirate groups. Those big pirates who were unwilling to fail began to launch attacks again.
The situation in the new world is becoming increasingly out of control.
