Chapter 264: Worry
"That guy Rey is as good as Hawkeye in swordsmanship!"
Crocodile, who was watching the battle, took a breath and said.
Back in Alabasta, Rey relied on the power of Armed Haki and Thunder Fruit to defeat him.
As for swordsmanship, Crocodile didn't pay attention at all.
Among the Straw Dogs Pirates, everyone regards Zoro as the strongest swordsman in the pirate group.
As everyone knows, Rey has already crossed the realm of swordsman at this time.
Reached the level of a great swordsman.
Ivankov was also surprised and said: "Is Rey Boy a monster?"
"In Impel Down City, I single-handedly defeated most of the guards in Impel Down City."
"Defeat Magellan and destroy the gates of justice."
"His physical strength..."
"It's really as endless as the ocean."
Unlike Crocodile and Ivankov, Kaixia Jinbe looked at Rey fighting Hawkeye and recalled his time in the Sun Pirates.
The Sun Pirates are a team composed entirely of mermaids.
The leader of the Sun Pirates is the mermaid Tiger.
The only man who broke the Draconian Holy Land Mariejoia.
Freed the slaves imprisoned by the Celestial Dragons.
For some reason, Rey's appearance gradually overlapped with Tiger's in Jinbe's eyes.
"Young swordsman, have you grown to where you are now?"
"It really surprised me!"
Hawkeye said while holding the black knife in his hand while confronting Rey.
Back in the East China Sea, Hawkeye defeated Zoro and Rey effortlessly.
And during that battle, Rey's swordsmanship did not reach such a superb level.
He was simply using the power of the Devil Fruit to fight Hawkeye.
but now!
Hawkeye had already used seven to eight tenths of his power, but he couldn't do anything to hurt Rey.
"Hawkeye, aren't you ready to use your full strength?"
Rey, who was holding the Twelve Works of Heaven, quickly slashed out a sword and said.
Hawkeye turned around to avoid Rey's attack and landed on the lone boat.
The black knife in his hand was sheathed.
"Young swordsman, now is not the time for you and me to fight."
At this time, Rey also turned into a bolt of lightning and returned to the warship.
The twelve bows of heaven are sheathed.
The qi and blood in the body are still surging.
Without using the Thunder Fruit, it is still unrealistic for Rey to defeat Hawkeye through swordsmanship.
"He is truly the greatest swordsman in the world!"
Rey praised in a low voice.
"Hey! Hawkeye, are you still going to block our way?"
Crocodile, who is said to be 50-50 in the pirate world, said very arrogantly.
The battle between Rey and Hawkeye just now was very fierce.
Both sides must have expended a lot of energy.
If faced with Hawkeye in his prime, Crocodile would not have the confidence to defeat him.
But now Hawkeye, Crocodile is 100% sure to sink it into the sea.
Hawkeye looked at Rey on the warship, but after all, he did not pull out the black knife again.
He has been the world's greatest swordsman for a long time.
In today's sea, except for red-haired Shanks, no one else can give him any threat in terms of swordsmanship.
"Young swordsman, I look forward to our next encounter."
Rey also said not to be outdone:
"Eagle Eye, the next time we meet, I will snatch the title of the world's greatest swordsman from you."
Hawkeye gradually disappeared from everyone's sight on the lonely boat.
Seeing Hawkeye leave, the pirates on the warship also breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be very disadvantageous for them to fight Hawkeye in the waters near the Navy Headquarters.
Once the Navy Headquarters discovers their traces, they will be greeted by a sky full of artillery fire.
The warship continued to move towards the location of the Navy Headquarters.
Rey, who had experienced successive battles, also began to replenish energy with Luffy.
Food is constantly being sucked in by Rey and Luffy Storm.
The pirate boys on the side began to bet on who would eat more food, Rey or Luffy.
"Why did Hawkeye appear near the Navy Headquarters?"
Kai Xia Jinbei looked at the endless sea and asked doubtfully.
"I'm afraid the Navy Headquarters has already recruited King Shichibukai."
"What is it about recruiting the Seven Warlords? Crocodile, are you sure?"
Kaixia Jinbei said in shock.
"The navy is preparing to execute Ace, the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates. How could there be no action from Whitebeard?"
"The Navy Headquarters had to recruit the Shichibukai to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates."
Crocodile took a puff of his cigar and said slowly:
"The Age of Great Pirates is about to descend into violence again."
Jinbei's expression darkened as he digested all the news.
Can the power of the Yonko Pirates alone really overthrow the Navy Headquarters?
Although Whitebeard's father is called the strongest man in the world, Jinbei knows that his father's health is getting worse day by day.
Facing the heavily armed navy headquarters, the Whitebeard Pirates are likely to be defeated.
and!
In addition to the navy, there are also pirates of the Shichibukai level who are eyeing him.
Hawkeye Mihawk, Pirate Queen, Tyrant Kuma, Gekko Moriah, Toyayasha Doflamingo.
Any one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is a strong man who can gain a foothold in the New World.
Once they join the Navy camp, it will greatly change the entire battle situation.
Although they are not in the same boat with the Navy, they are very willing to take off Whitebeard's head.
"I must go to the Navy Headquarters to help Dad."
Sea Knight Jinbei said in a deep voice.
"Help Whitebeard?" Crocodile sneered and said:
"I want to take off Whitebeard's head with my own hands."
"Crocodile! If you want to hurt Dad, you must get through me first!"
Jinbei stared at Crocodile very vigilantly.
Crocodile looked at the very nervous Jinbei, shrugged helplessly, and said:
"Now we are all subordinates of that guy Ray."
"After arriving at the Navy Headquarters, I am looking forward to what choice Ray will make."
"Stand on the side of Whitebeard, or on the side of the Navy."
Ray?
Jinbei suddenly thought that there was a man on this warship who was as powerful as the admiral of the navy.
If he could convince Ray to join the Whitebeard camp.
Then...
"Brother Ray, a warship was spotted ahead!"
The pirate standing on the watchtower shouted loudly.
Warship?
Ray, who was feasting, couldn't help but frowned.
Shouldn't the navy be preparing for the battle against the Whitebeard Pirates now?
