Strongest Swordsman In One Piece - Chapter 236
This month, El needs to do three things in total.
These three things, one is to challenge Whitebeard and see how far he is from the ceiling of this world; The second is to find one of the four Road Poneglyphs, after all, as one of the four emperors, El may not need one of The four Road Poneglyphs but his status can’t live without it; The third is to respond to Hawk Eyes invitation.
For Hawk Eyes’ invitation, El is actually full of interest.
When he went out to sea that year and before meeting Carina and Nami, El had made a goal of surpassing Hawk Eyes and becoming the strongest swordsman in his era as a goal after going out to sea.
After all, although Hawk Eyes’ strength is strong, he is only the strongest person in swordsmanship.
El had planned to wait until the City in the Sky traveled around the world, and if he meets Hawk Eyes by chance, then he will achieve his former goal on a whim. However, he didn’t expect that after he killed Shanks and annihilates the red-haired pirates, Hawk Eyes whose loner will take the initiative to come and send an invitation.
Although he didn’t know whether Hawk Eyes’ move was to avenge Shanks, El was still willing to see him and see what realm his swordsmanship had reached.
No way, who makes his strength improve every year?
In the past two years after becoming a Pirate Emperor, the opponent that he encounters on the same level is only Rayleigh, Shanks, Benn Beckman, and Whitebeard.
Among them, Rayleigh is no longer in his prime, and Shanks is not in his peak condition after the meteor and tsunami exhaust his haki and stamina, and finally he used a dust explosion while manipulating the dust inside them to severely injure him.
Even in the battle against Whitebeard, because El went full firepower from the beginning, the battle between the two of them was completely a showdown between Devil Fruit ability and haki, there was no swordsmanship battle in the middle.
El only knows his own strength is still far away from the ceiling of this world, but he does not know whether his swordsmanship talent, one of his three talents, has been fully realized, or is it still a little away from the ceiling of this sword.
So after getting one of the four Road Poneglyphs, they headed towards an unmanned place in the New World.
After receiving a reply from Doflamingo 10 days ago, Hawk Eyes who has been in the new world for more than a month may be on his way at this time or is already waiting there on El’s arrival.
Two days later, when the Pegasus arrived on that uninhabited island, they saw a coffin-like boat.
This boat is the exclusive boat of Hawk Eyes.
If other people use such a small boat and they encounter rainy days or bad weather, they will be directly overturned by the waves.
But that’s for the weak. In the eyes of the powerhouse, unless it is a natural disaster that is rarely seen in a hundred years. To be precise, even if it is a natural disaster that is rarely seen in a hundred years, as long as they are not in a state of exhaustion, then a powerhouse in their heydays can easily resolve them all with their own abilities.
So, whether it is a tsunami, storm, or a blizzard, in Hawk Eye’s eye it is a simple matter of swinging his sword.
After the Pegasus came to the uninhabited island, it didn’t descend to the ground.
After all, the strongest swordsman sends his invitation, it’s impossible to just say a few words to him, and the battle between the master swordsman is also at the level of destroying heaven and earth, especially a battle between two master swordsmen who is likely to be both conqueror haki users. (Hawk Eyes is not on the list of conqueror haki users)
Once there is a battle, then the final fate of this island may also be sinking into the sea.
The coffin boat and the Pegasus moored on the coast will definitely be affected.
Hawk Eyes’ coffin boat is worthless, but the total value of Pegasus is on ten-digit.
Therefore, after the Pegasus reached the uninhabited island, it did not descend on the shore but stopped in the air.
After putting on a new white robe, white pants, and white boots, counting his silver hair, except for the Black Sword, Shusui at his waist, El almost wears all white.
After a while, El flew from the top cabin of the Pegasus and landed in front of an extremely powerful Aura.
That person with a powerful aura is a tall, lean, and muscular man with black hair, a short beard, a mustache, sideburns that point upwards, and eagle-like yellow eyes. He wears black and red ornate clothing with a crucifix pendant that hides a little dagger and with his attire consisting of a wide-brimmed black hat decorated with a large plume, and a long, open black coat with no shirt underneath, with red, flower-patterned sleeves and collar. He wears white pants held up by a decorated belt and tucked inside his overly large boots. At his back, he carries one of the twelve Supreme Grade swords, Yoru.
“I kept you waiting Hawk Eye..”
Looking at the strongest swordsman in the world in front of him, El greeted him very politely.
“The Lord of the Sky, El, I have long admired your name.” Looking at El in front of him, Hawk Eye did not reveal the arrogance and contempt he used to show against the weak.
Instead, he gave El a great deal of respect while his sharp eyes, stare at El’s red eyes and speaking in a deep voice. “I have long wanted to meet you in the sea… but unfortunately I never got the chance…”
“Me too.”
El responded with a smile while speaking. “When I first went to sea, you’re one of my goals.”
“When I previously wanted to meet you, I just wanted to see how strong and talented you are but now there is one more reason.”
Hawk Eye slowly pulled out his sword at his back while speaking to El. “That is to see the person who defeated Shanks and what kind of strength does he possess, can he replace Shanks and compete with me?”
“Young Swordsman, El, let me see if you’re worthy of wielding the once-strongest Black Sword, Shusui!”
Hearing Hawk Eye shouting out his first title, El’s eyes was also full of strong fighting intent and he pulled out his sword at his waist and pointed the edge at Hawk Eye. “Come!”
