Chapter 338: The astonished White Fang: This guy Hawk-Eye is copying techniques!

"Oh? Hawk-Eye Mihawk wants to challenge Bai Huzi?"

Lin Xuan, who was hiding on a warship to continue watching the show, could not help but feel a hint of interest in his eyes when he saw Hawk-Eye rush in front of Bai Huzi.

In fact, in the original plot, there was a scene where Hawk-Eye challenged Bai Huzi.

However, the current situation was different from the original plot; this time there was no one else blocking him, and furthermore, Hawk-Eye Mihawk seemed to have gained some insights after clashing with the Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, during the previous war at Sabaody Archipelago.

Therefore, Lin Xuan was quite curious: what kind of power could the current Hawk-Eye Mihawk unleash?

Seeing that Hawk-Eye wanted to challenge Bai Huzi, Luo Jie could not help but tilt his head and ask Rayleigh: "Rayleigh, who is this little guy? He actually dares to challenge Newgate; his courage is commendable!"

Rayleigh suddenly realized that coming along this time seemed to have been a wrong decision.

Because Luo Jie was now treating him entirely like a talking dictionary, asking him about everything he didn't know!

However, he could only answer helplessly: "He is Mihawk; you have seen him before. He is now the world's greatest swordsman!"

Luo Jie was immediately surprised: "Oh? That brat Mihawk has actually become the world's greatest swordsman? That is truly surprising!"

At the same time, in the center of a small island town in this world, a large crowd had gathered in front of a giant screen to watch.

Hatake Sakumo also stood among the crowd, watching the live broadcast from Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

At this moment, he looked just like an ordinary person, extremely low-key and inconspicuous, making it impossible for those around him to associate him with the member of the Ninja Guild who was currently in the limelight!

And when Hatake Sakumo saw that Hawk-Eye was preparing to challenge Bai Huzi, a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered to himself: "Let me see what kind of progress you have made during this time!"

Hatake Sakumo had a look of expectation on his face.

In fact, he liked this world very much, and he also liked his current state.

Free and unfettered, with no need to consider whether a clan was flourishing or whether the village was safe.

Under these circumstances, he could better pursue the sword path that a swordsman—or as this world calls it, a sword master—should pursue!

Therefore, in the mere half-month or so that had passed, he felt that his sword technique, which had not progressed for many years, had made significant strides!

This was also thanks to his last battle with Hawk-Eye Mihawk.

It was also because of this that he had always regarded Hawk-Eye Mihawk as his best opponent, looking forward to clashing with him again; he hadn't expected to be able to see Hawk-Eye fight someone else ahead of time.

Hatake Sakumo knew that after the last battle, Hawk-Eye must have improved, so he looked forward to seeing exactly what changes Hawk-Eye had undergone.

At the same time, the World Government troops on the scene also noticed Hawk-Eye Mihawk's movements.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea, is he finally going to make a move?"

"I didn't expect the first one to move to be Mihawk!"

"No wonder Hawk-Eye accepted the government's summons this time; it seems he came specifically to challenge Bai Huzi!"

Sounds of discussion rose from all over the battlefield.

The so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea were essentially a collaboration between the World Government and powerful pirates, granting them rights that ordinary pirates did not have, while using their strength to deter petty criminals.

Those who bore the title of Seven Warlord of the Sea had to respond to the World Government's summons when necessary and participate in certain operations.

However, in reality, the World Government did not have many opportunities to use the Seven Warlords, especially lone wolves like Hawk-Eye; unless he happened to be interested in an opponent, he would not respond to the World Government's summons at all.

And this time, his purpose for taking the initiative was finally revealed: it was Bai Huzi, Edward Newgate!

Amidst the chaotic crowd, Smoker, who was currently fighting, could not help but glance toward Hawk-Eye, his gaze falling specifically on the black blade in the other's hand.

Smoker looked at Tashigi and asked: "Is that the Black Blade, the legendary strongest sword in the world?"

Tashigi slashed a pirate away with her sword before saying in a deep voice: "That's right, that is one of the only twelve Supreme Grade swords in the world, the Black Blade—Yoru!"

And just as the two were speaking, Hawk-Eye made his move!

"Hum!"

He simply raised his hand and swung his blade, a sharp slash breaking through the air, spanning dozens of meters and heading straight for Bai Huzi!

The terrifying momentum of this slash caused the expressions of many pirates and Marines nearby to change in unison.

They were all suddenly very glad that they had just moved away from the position between Mihawk and Bai Huzi in time; otherwise, they would certainly have been sliced in two by that slash from Mihawk right now!

And just as these thoughts surfaced in their minds, that terrifying slash had already arrived in front of Bai Huzi.

In response, Bai Huzi simply raised his hand and threw a punch; he didn't seem to use much strength, but a terrifying vibration was transmitted from his fist, instantly causing the surrounding air to crack.

Hawk-Eye's slash also collapsed in an instant!

Seeing this scene, many who had been full of expectations for Hawk-Eye felt somewhat disappointed for a moment.

Although they had long guessed that Hawk-Eye was likely no match for Bai Huzi, they hadn't expected the gap to be this large!

However, at that very instant, everyone was stunned to find that Bai Huzi, who had already blocked Hawk-Eye's attack, suddenly moved the naginata in his hand!

What was going on?

Was he going to take advantage of the situation to counterattack and finish off Hawk-Eye directly?

This was the first thought that surfaced in everyone's minds.

But in the very next instant, they realized they were wrong, because they were horrified to discover that Hawk-Eye's attack just now was not the simple slash they had originally thought; it had layers of slashes stacked within it, like a nesting doll!

Bai Huzi's punch could only shatter the outermost layers of the slash, but the innermost layer could not be broken, which is why Bai Huzi had to temporarily swing his naginata again to finally block Hawk-Eye's attack!

And at this very moment, people were astonished to see that the figure of Hawk-Eye, holding his black blade, had appeared in front of Bai Huzi the moment his slash was blocked.

He himself was the final layer of the slash!

Hatake Sakumo, who was watching the battle from the sky, was stunned when he saw this scene, and said in surprise: "Isn't this my Hatake-style Ten Thousand Blade Instant Slash? This guy Hawk-Eye actually learned this!" ===== CHAPTER 340 =====
