Chapter 394 Porusalino: The Classic Scene in the East China Sea Reappears! Is the World so Big? Green Algae Head?
As we all know, in the original plot of One Piece, the so-called "Cross Union" is an organization founded with Hawkeye and Lao Sha as the main sponsors after the Shichibukai system was abolished by the World Government - but it has the strongest Bucky, the overlord of luck, picked peaches by accident with the "help" of his "reliable subordinates" and became the president.
But no matter what, there is no doubt that Hawkeye has an inexplicable bond with the "Cross Union". Therefore, he who wanted to teach Porusalino a lesson is now becoming more and more knowledgeable, thinking more and more broadly, and even breaking away from his original limitations of thinking!
(There is no conflict at all between joining the Cross Guild and continuing to serve as King Shichibukai!)
(Didn’t that bastard Porousarino always like to give himself some weird names when he was doing mischief outside the Navy Headquarters?)
(Perhaps, the mysterious swordsman who holds the supreme sharp sword "Hitari" can...)
"I am the pirate hunter of the East China Sea, Roronoa Zoro! I hope to officially challenge you! Hawkeye Mihawk!"
The Lost King, who had short green algae-colored hair and three sabers hanging from his waist, abruptly interrupted Hawkeye's thinking and raised his hand to block his way.
Let's put it this way, even if Zoro knew that Porusalino might be stronger than Hawkeye, when the two appeared in Barati at the same time, Porusalino could only be reduced to a "meal replacement" that was abandoned. ——The pure swordsman Hawkeye is Sauron’s most anticipated challenger.
So he rushed out immediately after hearing the news.
(Mito stream?)
Although his thinking was interrupted, Hawkeye's personal cultivation and quality were much better than "The Shame of Marinevando" Porusalino, and he would not be like the latter who would become angry because of being disturbed by pretentious behavior. Therefore, there was only a slight flash of surprise in his pupils, and his attention was slightly attracted by the three knives on Zoro's waist.
Looking at the entire world today, among all swordsmen, although there are various types of weapons, the three-sword style is still very rare. Because the Three Swordsman style is not as powerful as many beginners and laymen imagine because there are more weapons - on the contrary, because this routine violates the normal human logic of using weapons, the Three Swordsman style was not as complete as a whole before Dacheng. It is relatively weak, and it is much more difficult to practice than the usual kendo type.
Therefore, even if there are swordsmen who are interested in the three-sword style at the beginning, there are still only a handful of people who can stick to it and really use it as their own fighting style - after all, no one is willing to take their own lives for granted.
However, right next to Hawkeye, coincidentally, there is such a three-sword swordsman, and he even has a close relationship with him.
Yes, his disciple Guina was also the key figure in the photo of his cut finger in the kitchen that was obtained by Porusalino.
So Eagle Eye refused indifferently: "I refuse, young man, I am only here to have a meal."
As the strongest swordsman, even if he doesn't use his Haki, just relying on his intuition, the eagle eye can feel that Zoro is a powerful swordsman.
But want to challenge him?
Still a long way to go!
Therefore, Hawkeye planned to walk directly into the restaurant from Zoro. However, when he was about to pass by, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the pattern of the sword at the bottom of the opponent's waist, which aroused his interest.
"Is this... Wulang's entry into the Taoist sect..."
The name that Hawkeye can remember, except for the strong, is most likely the only famous sword - this famous sword given to his disciple Zoro by Shigetsuki Koushiro. It has a very simple and unpretentious appearance, and even Hawkeye almost failed to take the first place. One of the twenty-one skills of the Great Knife recognized by time, "Wu Lang Enters the True Sect of Taoism", is a typical example.
"I didn't expect to see such a famous sword here in the East China Sea... Anyway, young pirate hunter, for its sake, I will give you a chance to challenge me."
Hawkeye's attitude at this time was very hurtful. Not only was his words very rude, but his attention was completely attracted by the famous sword.
It was obvious that he didn't care about Zoro even a little bit.
However, it was this attitude that made Sauron particularly excited and full of fighting spirit:
"Is this the world's greatest swordsman..."
Sauron's tone was trembling because he was overly excited. He slowly pulled out three sabers from his waist:
"Hawkeye Mihawk, I am not challenging you to defeat you, nor do I have such delusions of ignorance... But, I want to experience firsthand how big the gap between us is."
"I want to experience the scenery that only those at the top of the sword can see!"
After hearing this, Hawkeye didn't have any special reaction. He just watched Zoro put on a strange posture, and then frowned imperceptibly.
Although Hawkeye himself is not a three-sword swordsman, he mentored his disciple Kuina after all, so he also has his own opinions on the three-sword style.
And Sauron's posture...
From Hawkeye's point of view, it can only be said that it is a great test of the swordsman's basic skills and talent, otherwise it will be full of flaws.
Just when Sauron was constantly accumulating momentum and strength, trying to adjust his condition to the best, so as to face this precious challenge without any regrets——
"Huh? Are you... a kid from the Vinsmoke family?"
Sanji, who was standing not far behind Zoro, had the iconic curly eyebrows of the Vinsmoke family. Hawkeye's attention was distracted and he asked casually.
After all, he is very familiar with Porusalino, so young people like Sanji who often follow Polusalino and are worthy of attention themselves, Hawkeye also has some impressions.
Moreover, he really does not want Sauron, who is sober-minded and still dares to challenge himself, and who is full of fighting spirit to be "crippled" in an instant - if he looks directly at him with his sharp eyes like an eagle, even if he looks straight at him, Experienced warriors will also tremble from the bottom of their hearts, and young people like Sauron will be as unable to hide any secrets as if they were naked.
"Mr. Mihawk."
Compared with the original plot of One Piece, Sanji in this timeline has no resistance to the identity of Vinsmoke's son, so he decisively bowed slightly and asked Hawkeye, the strong man and Porusalino's friend. , paid tribute.
But then, he pointed his backhand at Zoro, who was looking at him with a bad face: "I hope you will show mercy to this third-rate swordsman who has never seen the world... Well, he still has some value."
"ha???"
A very dissatisfied hum and a thick nasal voice came out of Zoro's mouth: "Do you want me to chop you into pieces in ten seconds before challenging the world's greatest swordsman? Curly eyebrows?"
After all, Sanji and Zoro have only met each other once, so the presumptuous speech to persuade Hawkeye like this is of course not entirely out of his own good character, but in the gap between Zoro and Hawkeye's conversation just now. Porusalino told him.
therefore--
"Not only do you not know the heights of heaven and earth, but you don't even know the difference between good and bad?"
Sanji raised his eyebrows slightly, "Well, instead of letting you waste Mr. Mihawk's precious time, why not let me use five seconds to kick your green algae head into a pulp."
"Then I only need to waste three seconds on you, curly eyebrows!"
"Please give me a second, Mr. Mihawk!"
Although it was only the first time they met, they still showed a "bond" like the children's bickering in the original plot, and produced a wonderful chemical reaction - Porusalino, who was sitting in the restaurant, saw this scene through the window. The corners of his mouth rose crazily in pleasure.
But Hawkeye was not in such a pleasant mood at all. The figures of Zoro and Sanji were reflected in his pair of eagle eyes. They obviously didn't say anything or did anything, but their inexplicable aura instantly made the two of them... The young people all stopped moving as if feeling great fear, and then looked at him in horror.
This is not the domineering look of a king, but the pure aura of Hawkeye as the world's best swordsman.
"..."
Sanji immediately jumped and left the fighting place between Zoro and Hawkeye, then lowered his head and expressed his apology for his immature behavior just now.
Sauron re-arranged the strange starting position before, accumulating sword power.
Upon seeing this, Hawkeye raised his hand and pulled down a yellow cross hanging from his chest. Then he casually pulled out the cross knife from its sheath. He faced Sauron's astonished gaze and explained in cold words. :
"Unlike a beast that uses all its strength to hunt rabbits, even though you are a capable swordsman, you are not worthy of me using the world's strongest black sword."
"Isn't it worth it..."
If the original plot of One Piece is followed, Zoro must have felt insulted and already furious when he heard Hawkeye's harsh words.
But in the current timeline, he has seen the tip of the iceberg of strength of his master Koshiro and some strong men in the Revolutionary Army, and his horizons have already been broadened. Regarding what Hawkeye said, I just felt that the world's greatest swordsman was really what he said.
His behavior is not deliberately arrogant, but it is true that very few people can catch his eye; his language is not arrogant, but just plainly stated indisputable facts and practical feelings.
There was no change in mentality. Zoro remained calm and forced forward with a strange pace - this explosive short sprint can quickly reduce the distance between the user and the enemy. Zoro's master Shigetsuki Koushiro, in order to deal with The techniques created by the great swordsmen who were best at flying and slashing were then passed on to Sauron by him.
"Three-sword style-demon slaying!!!"
Although it is much more difficult to practice, and its power before reaching the level of success is weaker than the ordinary one-sword style and double-sword style, the consistency and broadness of the three-sword style swordsmanship are unmatched by other swordsmanship.
The offensive and defensive areas composed of the three long knives are enough to perfectly cover all the space in front of Sauron. Even the conventional defensive blind spots such as the arms and sides can be used to perform various moves very effectively.
This is why in the original plot of One Piece, when Zoro competed with enemies like Daz Bones in terms of melee combat capabilities, the opponent clearly had the advantage and had a stronger attack power, but was still unable to break through his three swords. The reason is.
As for the knife held by Hawkeye, although Sauron has never seen such an opponent or weapon before, with his comprehensive combat experience, he believes that such a choice and combination is more than dexterous, but not enough in destructive power.
Therefore, he did not choose other moves, but used the "Three Swordsman Style: Ghost Slash" that relied most on frontal impact, instantly.
Three long knives packed with powerful impact energy arrived in front of Hawkeye in an instant. From the perspective of Sanji, an onlooker, even looking at the Navy headquarters, there are still quite a few elite sailors who cannot withstand this violent slash. As for those peers who received more elite training with him, although they would not be directly cut into several stages, many of them would be blown away by the considerable impact.
The three cross-shaped sword blades can touch Hawkeye's body at a glance, unleashing Zoro's powerful strength instantly.
but--
The knife, which was less than the size of a palm, lightly touched the intersection where the weapons of both sides crossed at a speed and trajectory that Sauron could not capture.
"clang!"
The sound of metal and iron clashing, no matter how much Zoro exerted his strength, no matter how the veins under his muscles burst out, he could not move forward even one millimeter!
This point of contact is the insurmountable chasm set up by Hawkeye, the wall of sighs that can be called an absolute defense!
But now Zoro is, after all, a seasoned swordsman far better than himself at the beginning of One Piece's original plot. Seeing that his absolutely frontal move was perfectly intercepted, he quickly calmed down his inner shock and decisively changed his attack method.
With the waist as the center, exerting force from bottom to top, and the additional power exerted on the chop by the rotation, Zoro counterattacked!
This is a powerful move that only he with strong physical fitness and three-sword style swordsmanship can use!
"Santo-ryu - Tornado!!!"
"It's this move! It's this move!"
Among the employees of the Barati Restaurant who were watching, some of them had already become numb and screamed because they were aware of Zoro's moves. When they first came to the Barati Restaurant, some pirates who had no eyesight tried to To trouble Zoro, who is a pirate hunter. But the hundreds of bullets that poured out like a torrential rain from the new high-tech firearms that the opponent was said to have purchased from the black market at a huge price were all blocked and deflected by Sauron's move! Afterwards, someone went to check the spread bullets, and they all had approximately smooth sections on their surfaces!
This is the top defense, and it is also the top attack!
The three black shadows of the whistling and shrill blades were instantly swung in front of Hawkeye. Just when most of the onlookers thought that this move would bring big trouble to Hawkeye - the palm-sized knife, But at an unhurried speed, in front of everyone, he just inserted into the torrent-like blade strangulation field in such an unpretentious manner!
"It's a simple and boring show off. Mihawk's pretentiousness is so impressive~"
Porusalino in the restaurant, even through the window, could clearly see the fighting situation at this moment - the knife used by Hawkeye as a weapon did not have any meaning of defense or blocking, but was used by Hawkeye. With the help of Yan's top-notch swordsmanship insight and lightning-fast shooting speed, he simply relied on the tip of the knife to touch Sauron's three long knives, either point or pick, and perfectly grasped the flaw in his move!
To describe it with a simple example from before Porusalino's time travel, it was the chopsticks blackout fan!
