Roja and Hawkeye are both at the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Hawkeye knows in his heart that there is no need to spar with Roja, just one move is enough, so he uses his power to the limit. 』』
The same is true for Roja. He just wants to know whether his current swordsmanship has really surpassed that of Hawkeye.
Both of them shot with all their strength, and there was almost no leakage of power. Therefore, when the two forces collided, the first moment was silence in the world, and the second moment was the shock caused by the collision and explosion of the two swordsmanship. The aftermath!
It seemed like just a clash of swords.
But in fact, Roja and Eagle Eye each only used one sword, but for the great swordsman, this is actually a confrontation of thousands of swords, a collision of two sword realms!
Buzz! !
The seawater surged and roared, almost overturning the restaurant on the sea. Countless chefs grabbed the railings around them and were terrified.
Is this still something humans can do? !
Zoro was also holding on to the railing. As he watched this scene, excitement, confusion, excitement, and other emotions flashed through his eyes. Now he has indeed understood the breath of all things, stepped into the realm of a swordsman, and has the sword intention. prototype.
So in the face of Roja and Hawkeye's attack, the only person in the field who could barely peek into their realm was Zoro.
Being able to understand it makes me excited about this level of swordsmanship.
This is what he is looking for, what he wants to get!
…
The shocking waves gradually dissipated.
Roja and Hawkeye stood with their backs facing each other. The wreckage of the Creek Pirates' ship between them had split in the middle and spread to both sides.
laugh!
Almost silently, a small, inconspicuous cut suddenly appeared on Hawkeye's clothes. The skin there was slightly scratched, and a drop of blood spilled from it.
On the other side, Luo Ya put away Qian Huan and stood up straight.
"You can actually cross that limit..."
Hawkeye looked at the small, inconspicuous wound on his body, and couldn't help but reveal a strange look in his eyes.
This wound is nothing. Even if Roja is a little better than him, it is nothing.
What really makes Hawkeye unable to remain calm is that he has stood at the pinnacle of swordsmanship for many years and has reached an insurmountable gap.
Neither he nor Red Shanks could cross this chasm at all. All he could do was to stand at the nearest place in front of this chasm.
There is no road ahead.
But now, he saw something completely different in Roja. In other words, Roja stepped out of the gap and took a few steps forward!
"Concession."
Roja turned to look at Hawkeye. There was no joy of victory in his eyes, but a slight sigh.
As a swordsman, Roja still admires and appreciates Hawkeye, the great swordsman who stands at the top of the world. Unfortunately, Hawkeye and he are different after all.
Hawkeye stands at the top of the world, and he can't find a way to move on.
But Roja was different. He had thousands of illusions and came from another world. He knew that there was still a long, long road ahead, so he kept moving forward on the road.
"What you lost wasn't actually swordsmanship."
Roja sighed softly and said something to Hawkeye.
Hawkeye shook his head and said: "If you lose, you lose. There is no reason. Who can always be the 'strongest' on this road?"
Putting the black knife behind his back, Hawkeye turned around, jumped back to his boat, and then rode his boat farther and farther away, disappearing into the boundless sea.
…
Twenty-two years of the Great Pirate Age.
Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman, lost to Roya in a sword duel. From then on, the title of the world's greatest swordsman changed hands!
…
"Who can always be the strongest..."
Roja watched Eagle Eye leave and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He could understand what Eagle Eye meant, but Eagle Eye didn't understand what he meant.
After all, he is not from this world. With thousands of illusions, he will be above this world sooner or later. His goal is not limited by this world. In the eyes of the eagle eye, he is already the strongest in the world, but under Luo Ya's own In his eyes, he thought he was not strong enough.
Different visions, different realms.
Because of this, Roja said that it was not the swordsmanship that Hawkeye lost.
Watching Hawkeye getting farther and farther in the boat, Roja looked at Luffy and his group in the distance, shook his head, took a step forward, landed on the sea, then stepped gently on the sea, and left. go.
Until Roja and Hawkeye disappeared.
Everyone in the restaurant on the sea woke up from the shock one after another. Some people looked up at the sky, only to feel that their minds were blank, and they murmured with dull faces.
"The clouds... no, even the sky was cut open?!"
"This is the battle between the strongest admiral and the world's greatest swordsman... Are existences like them really still human beings?!"
Above the sky, the large dark clouds that had gathered in the sky for some time suddenly split into two halves from the middle, and a deep ravine appeared, which lingered for a long time.
Looking at this scene, various emotions flashed through the hearts of Luffy and the others.
Luffy showed excitement and clenched his fists, Zoro closed his eyes and seemed to be one with the three swords hanging on his waist, while Nami's eyes were complicated and seemed to become vaguely firm.
…
A few days later.
This is the only way to the great shipping route from the East China Sea. It is called Rogge Town. Twenty-two years ago, an epic event took place here.
That is, the execution of Pirate King Gol D. Roger and the beginning of the Great Pirate Era!
Many people who pass by Rogge Town will almost always go to take a look at the execution platform in Rogge Town and experience the feeling of the end of the previous era and the beginning of the great pirate era. Some people even come to Rogge Town specifically just to see it. Look at this execution platform.
Almost every day, there was an endless stream of people under the execution platform.
this day.
Roja set foot in Rogge Town and came to the execution platform. He looked at the execution platform from a distance, his eyes were deep, as if he had transcended time and space and saw that time twenty-two years ago.
Immediately afterwards, Roja recalled the scenes when he came to this world. He came to this world in the eleventh year of the Great Pirate Era. It has been eleven years now.
Looking back, it really happened in a blink of an eye.
"Twenty-two years, the era of great pirates."
"Gol D. Roger... I can almost understand why you did this. It has opened an era. You are indeed more admirable than the Golden Lion and White Beard."
"It's admirable. Even though many pirates with dreams embarked on the journey, it also turned the world into a chaotic era of great pirates... This is another sin."
Everything has two sides. Roya admires people like Roger, but at the same time he doesn't agree with Roger's approach of starting the era of great pirates.
"This era of great pirates is almost over."
Looking at the execution platform in the distance, Roja murmured deeply. At this moment, Roja was filled with emotions such as arrogance, arrogance, hatred, admiration, regret and so on.
No one can understand Roja's gaze at this moment, and it is difficult to describe it in words.
Take a deep breath.
Roja turned around, no longer looking at the execution platform, and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a noise suddenly came from the distance, causing Roja, who was about to take a step, to raise his eyebrows and look sideways.
"That guy is... Bucky the Clown, who has a bounty of 15 million Baileys! These guys are members of the Bucky Pirates, and we must not let them go!"
A girl wearing a sergeant's uniform and glasses, holding a sword in her hand and with a serious expression on her face, led a small group of marines and surrounded a group of people.
This group is the Buggy Pirates.
"What a nasty navy!"
The clown Bagira looked at the surrounding navy with a long face and a hateful expression. Although he was surrounded, he did not show any worry or fear. "How dare you come to deal with me? You don't know how powerful I am." ?!”
"Captain Bucky! We have to leave quickly. It is said that there is a new colonel on this island. He came down from the Grand Line. He is as strong as a monster. It will be bad when he comes!"
Among the pirates under Bucky, someone reminded Bucky nervously.
When Bucky heard about the Grand Line, his expression changed slightly, and he hummed: "It doesn't matter how the Grand Line came, I was still... In short, kill this group of marines quickly and get out of here!"
"We have already received the news about the treasure. I don't have time to play with the navy here!"
