Chapter 68 The correct way to use the machine (please read~!)

"Hmm?"

Looking at Luffy who suddenly stepped forward to challenge, Hawkeye frowned instantly.

"You should be the partner of this swordsman, right?"

"After seeing my strength, you dare to challenge me. You are so brave!"

"But..."

Hawkeye paused, looked at Zoro who was bleeding on the ground, and reminded Luffy:

"Before challenging me, you should go and see the swordsman first."

"He is a future strong man. I am looking forward to his growth, so I didn't take his life!"

Like Red Hair, Hawkeye also hopes to see an excellent young swordsman rushing to the sea.

The last slash he made at Zoro was not so much a portrayal of a winner as it was a gift to Zoro as a swordsman's dignity.

However, his good intentions did not get the response they deserved.

"Zoro doesn't need me to worry about him!"

Luffy grinned and interrupted Hawkeye's words.

As if to match his words, at this moment, Zoro, who was originally seriously injured, suddenly got up from the ground.

"Huh!?" Hawkeye was stunned.

This was the first time he showed a surprised expression since he came here.

"After suffering such a degree of injury, you can still stand up!?"

And the next second, he immediately noticed that the wound on Zoro's body had completely healed at some point!

Only the tattered clothes stained with blood proved that what had just happened was not Hawkeye's illusion.

"Ah~ alive again!"

Zoro stretched his body after waking up, his eyes brighter than ever before.

He quickly looked around, and then immediately found two ordinary long swords nearby, and formed a three-sword style posture again.

Zoro then turned his gaze to Hawkeye again, and said with his unique ventriloquism:

"In order to prevent my captain from not being able to explain clearly, let me explain it next, Lord Mihawk!"

"We know very well... how big of a gap there is between our current strength and the world's top!"

"But..."

"It's rare to meet a strong man like you. If we waste this opportunity just because of fear, it would be a pity!"

"So, I hope Lord Mihawk can accept our challenge!"

"Let us see the real world!!!"

"I always feel like I was tricked by you."

Hawkeye's eyes suddenly condensed.

Although he didn't know why Zoro, who was seriously injured, suddenly recovered.

But he was very bored now, so he didn't mind training these new pirates!

It's just...

Hawkeye suddenly raised his head:

"What you just said doesn't sound like what you would say..."

"So, who gave you this idea!?"

From the swordsmanship that Zoro showed, he knew very well that Zoro would not be a man who would give in!

Speaking so politely, he not only flattered himself, but also forced himself to accept their challenge...

There must be a master behind him.

Zoro grinned: "Heh, he won't let me tell you."

"Interesting."

Hawkeye lowered his head and smiled, but raised the black knife Night again.

"Anyway, I don't want to know that much!"

Huh~!

A heavy momentum suddenly gushed out of Hawkeye's body, pressing down on Luffy and Zoro like a mountain, making the faces of the two suddenly become embarrassed.

"..."

Zoro made a muffled sound due to the sudden change, and he could only use all his strength to force himself to stand up straight.

Luffy on the other side, although the situation was slightly better, was obviously also a little uncomfortable under the pressure of this momentum.

Hawkeye took a step forward, and his terrifying pressure became even heavier.

His sharp eyes stared fiercely at Luffy and Zoro.

He spoke again:

"Be careful."

"Even if it was me, I couldn't show mercy every time!"

Swish!

A dark flash suddenly pierced through the void, and the blade pointed directly at Luffy and Zoro's heads.

Hawkeye raised his head and smiled with satisfaction at Luffy and Zoro who were still able to fight under his domineering pressure.

"But..."

"I don't think you need me to let you go, right!?"

"Ah...!"

Luffy smiled deeply, his eyes staring straight at Hawkeye.

"Of course!!!"

"You have courage!"

Hawkeye raised his mouth.

"Although I don't know what gave you the courage."

"But since you are the captain recognized by Zoro... then let me see your capacity!!!"

Swish!

Without warning, Hawkeye suddenly swung his sword forward.

In an instant, a mighty slash flew out from the sharp blade.

Zoro and Luffy were shocked.

But fortunately, both of them had heard Akame explain Hawkeye's strength, so they reacted extremely quickly and fell to the ground, mysteriously avoiding Hawkeye's flying slash.

The slash did not hit the target, but flew straight to the distant sea.

A few seconds later...

Boom!!!

On the calm sea surface, a huge and smooth cut appeared.

Its shape was exactly the same as Hawkeye's slash!

The waves rolled violently in an instant, like the wailing of a wounded person!

"Are you... kidding? Just a casual attack like this!?"

Zoro, who stood up in a panic, saw the scene on the sea in the distance, and his eyes flashed instantly.

He immediately realized...

The confrontations between Hawkeye and him just now were just a small fight.

"It's really sad~" He smiled self-deprecatingly again.

But the next second, lightning suddenly appeared on his body.

Under his control, 100,000 volts of electricity were attached to the long sword again.

And when he turned around, he also saw Luffy's legs surging like an air pump.

The next moment, his body suddenly seemed to boil, gushing out a lot of steam.

"Second gear!"

Luffy looked up suddenly.

The battle officially started at this moment! ! !

Swish! ! !

After entering the second gear, Luffy's shaving speed became more terrifying, and his figure suddenly appeared behind Hawkeye as if he had teleported.

"Rubber·Jet Pistol!!!"

With a whoosh, a fiery fist flew towards Hawkeye's back, with a layer of Armament Haki attached to it.

And Zoro was not willing to fall behind, even though he knew the gap was huge, he still swung his long sword.

In addition to the power of 100,000 volts, he also used the dragon attribute energy in his body to transform it into surging flames.

"Three Swords·Thunder Dragon·Thunder Explosion!"

Boom!

Clang!

The two attacks fell on Hawkeye at almost the same time.

"Hit/Hit!?"

Luffy and Zoro raised their heads excitedly.

But the next second, the green sword energy of the netherworld was like a roaring hurricane, and the two were knocked out by the terrifying impact, smashing into the ruins of the battleship, raising a cloud of dust.

I saw Hawkeye holding a black knife, and his clothes were not even wrinkled.

"Hit me?!"

"I really don't know what kind of mentality you have to say such things!"

Hawkeye showed a slightly mocking smile on his face:

"If I am hit by such an attack, I don't think I will have the face to return to the New World."

"Ahem..."

Luffy climbed up from the ruins, raised his arm, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still bright:

"Don't underestimate me, bastard!!!"

"I am... the man who wants to be the Pirate King!!!"

With a whoosh, Luffy stepped on his feet, and his body flew out like an arrow again, attacking Hawkeye.

On the other side, Zoro, who also climbed up, didn't say anything, but he did the same thing as Luffy.

Hawkeye smiled:

"What an arrogant junior! But in the face of absolute power, your actions are just as funny as ants!"

I don't know if it's because of living alone for many years that Hawkeye has developed some kind of mental illness...

From the moment he pulled out the knife, he seemed to enjoy this feeling of being superior and pretending to be cool.

Looking at the two people who were attacking, the strong sword intent suddenly appeared on the black knife.

This time, he planned to shoot down the young duo and let them see the vastness of the sea.

Hawkeye first aimed at Luffy, swung his arms, and a huge green slash flew out!

But just when he thought Luffy would be injured by this slash that was far beyond his strength level, he saw Luffy in the air yelling in panic:

"Reflection wall!"

Wow——

A transparent energy barrier suddenly appeared in front of Luffy.

When Hawkeye's slash fell on the barrier, a magical scene happened!

It seemed that his slash was absorbed into another dimension and disappeared in an instant.

"What!?"

Hawkeye was rarely shocked.

And at this moment, Zoro's slash also fell with a bang.

However, in the face of the huge gap in strength, Hawkeye would naturally not be hit by this level of attack.

He just turned sideways slightly, then stepped hard, and easily avoided Zoro's attack.

Having lost his target, Zoro had no choice but to disperse the energy on the blade and came to Luffy's side.

"How is it, Luffy?!"

He asked Luffy without affecting his voice while holding the long sword in his mouth.

"Not very good!"

Luffy said truthfully, then waved his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his eyes showing unwillingness.

"The gap in strength is too big. Just blocking his attack once has consumed more than half of my physical energy!"

"If I hadn't dodged in time just now, I might not have been able to block that slash!"

"What!? Even you can't do it!?"

Zoro's eyes flashed, and he turned to look at Hawkeye who landed on the deck in the distance, and then immediately said:

"You go and recover first, I'll help you drag here!"

"Okay!" Luffy didn't hesitate, and raised his arm and made a strange gesture to the sky.

The next second, his body suddenly fell backwards.

At the same time.

On the Merry near the battlefield, seeing such a gesture, the red eyes closed again.

White light flashed, and he had already brought Luffy to the Pokémon Center at the entrance of the rock tunnel.

Without any extra nonsense, Red directly triggered Miss Joy's dialogue.

Luffy was sent to the treatment machine.

The light path flashed.

Ten seconds later, a brand new Luffy returned to Red's presence again.

"Come on, Luffy!!!"

Seeing that Luffy's experience points increased by 100 points just after fighting Hawkeye for one or two rounds, Chihong immediately encouraged him excitedly.

Suddenly, he and Luffy exited the game world.

Due to distance and other limitations, this method obviously cannot be used in real battles.

Hawkeye is not an idiot. Over time, he will naturally discover anomalies on the Meili not far away.

However, even if it cannot be used in official combat, this invincible recovery ability is enough to make the Straw Hats' training speed astonishing!

…

…

in the real world.

Watching Luffy fall to the ground, a look of confusion suddenly flashed in Hawkeye's eyes.

But because Sauron had already attacked, he didn't think much about it, thinking that his attack just now had caused damage to him.

Instead, he began to concentrate on dealing with Sauron.

"The lower body is unstable, the upper body is weak, and there are too many unnecessary movements... Your swordsmanship is too immature!"

Hawkeye easily responded to Sauron's attack while training him:

"With your current strength, you may be able to dominate the East China Sea, but if you continue to be so arrogant and challenge the strong..."

"Sooner or later you will die on this road!"

"But..." Zoro grinned, and because of the excessive force, his smile even looked a little ferocious.

"When did I say... we will be scared to death!?"

As if to reflect his words, Sauron suddenly slashed with the Thunder Flame Sword in his hand.

In order to make his slash hit, he even used his own body to block Hawkeye's black knife.

Wow——! ! !

The black knife slashed across, and blood suddenly spurted out like a torrent.

Hawkeye's eyes widened in shock, completely unexpected that Sauron would suddenly be so desperate.

And because he couldn't dodge, the corner of his clothes was scratched by Zoro's slash.

The blazing thunder flames spread instantly.

Although it didn't hurt its owner, it still made Hawkeye no longer as free and easy as before.

"Why?"

Looking at Zoro whose body was almost cut off and who was so close to death, Hawkeye made a confused sound.

"Hey, you wouldn't understand!"

It was obvious that his vitality was rapidly depleting, but at this moment, Zoro still showed a confident smile to Hawkeye.

this moment!

Sauron's ferocious smile was completely reflected in Hawkeye's mind.

But before he could react, a roar came from not far away.

"Rubber Jet Head Hammer!!!"

A steaming head flew from a distance instantly.

Surprisingly, it was Luffy who returned to the battlefield again.

Clang!

Hawkeye, who sensed the attack, instantly raised his sword and easily blocked Luffy's head attack.

Hawkeye was puzzled: "Didn't you fall down just now!?"

"Huh?" Luffy looked up with laughter and retorted: "Who told you that?!"

Whoosh!

Under the elasticity of the rubber, Luffy's head returned to its original shape again.

But at this moment, Sauron, who was already close to death at Hawkeye's feet, stood up surprisingly, and the long knife in his hand made a sneak attack towards Hawkeye's feet.

Unfortunately……

His attack was still a step too slow.

Hawkeye's leather boots, filled with armor and domineering, suddenly stepped on Sauron's long sword.

His frown eased slightly:

"I see."

"I don't know what kind of fruit power it is, but it seems like you can't kill it, right?"

"Ah……"

The corners of Hawkeye's mouth rose.

"Is this how you dare to challenge me?"

“It’s interesting, let’s give it a try!!!”

boom! ! !

An arrogant aura suddenly spurted out from Hawkeye's body.

A huge crack opened in the sky above his head, as if someone had cut it off.

Hawkeye raised the black knife again, with an unprecedented dangerous look in his eyes.

This time, he finally got a little serious!

In fact, he had already recognized the straw hat on Luffy...

That's Shanks' straw hat!

Recalling what Shanks had said to him, Hawkeye's mouth suddenly cracked.

"He is indeed a very interesting young man~"

The next battlefield seems to have become Hawkeye's personal training ground!

And Luffy and Zoro have become training sandbags!

Hawkeye kept swinging the black knife, causing shocking injuries one after another on the two people.

Fortunately, Luffy has a reflective wall move that is immune to physical attacks...

Relying on the effect of this move, he and Sauron also alternated, enough to buy time for recovery by the Elf Center.

The three of them seemed to be having fun, constantly erupting into various collisions on the wreckage of the Klick Pirates' warship.

And the blood of Luffy and Zoro dyed the entire huge platform red, and even flowed into the sea, making the nearby seawater...

Extraordinarily penetrating!

the other side.

Pushed by Usopp, Chihong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was also observing the battlefield.

Once you detect a hand signal or feel something unexpected, immediately enter the game world and help Luffy and Zoro recover.

The machine at the Elf Center can restore them completely in 10 seconds!

Counting the remaining half an hour of game time last night, plus the hour and a half I saved this morning...

Red spent a total of two hours, 120 minutes, and 720 10-second game time!!!

In other words...

As long as Luffy and Zoro are not killed by Hawkeye, they each have at least 300 lives to fight Hawkeye!

What Zoro said was not wrong.

From the beginning, they were not afraid of death at all.

Of course, Red did not think that Luffy and Zoro's current strength could cause any harm to Hawkeye, who might be a Four Emperors.

Their goal from the beginning to the end was not Hawkeye!

But the experience points after fighting with the strong! ! !

This is much faster than bullying Pokémon in the game world!

After all...

Not every world-class strong man can be as easy to talk to as Hawkeye.

It would be a pity not to make good use of such a rare opportunity!
