Gensokyo, a Minecraft template, starting experience from plucking flower fields.

The woman with the umbrella seemed to have anticipated Garp's attacks, always managing to dodge them perfectly. She dodged them slowly, as if toying with her prey, and occasionally used her umbrella to knock Garp away.

“Garp isn’t strong, so why would Yuuka need my help?”

Bai An glanced at the execution platform and said helplessly.

With Yuuka's current strength, she would completely crush the pirate world.

Hawkeye was speechless.

Garp may only be a vice admiral, but he is known as a naval hero. Decades ago, he could chase the Roger Pirates all over the world by himself. Now, he is being said to be not very strong.

If this sentence gets out, the entire ocean will probably boil over!

However, the other party certainly has the right to say that.

"Hawkeye, do you feel that you, as the world's greatest swordsman, have reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship?"

Bai An glanced at Hawkeye and suddenly uttered a statement that left everyone scratching their heads.

Upon hearing this, Hawkeye narrowed his eyes, glanced at Bai An with a puzzled look, then pondered for a long time before shaking his head:

"I don't know, but I hope not."

His dedication to the way of the sword far surpasses that of ordinary people.

He has always been pursuing the pinnacle of swordsmanship, seeking even stronger opponents.

But after he became the greatest swordsman, he could no longer find a worthy opponent.

His own swordsmanship also stagnated, unable to take another step.

“I have a friend who was stuck at his current level for a long time, just like you.”

Bai An's casual words made Hawkeye's heart start racing.

I was once stuck at the same level as you, doesn't that mean...

Thinking of a certain possibility, Hawkeye suddenly stood up, his sharp gaze fixed on him:

"Is your friend also a master swordsman? What's his name?"

"Him? He is indeed a master swordsman. What is his name?"

Bai An looked thoughtful for a moment, then smiled and uttered four words.

"Pineapple Snowstorm!"

Bai An's words exploded like thunder, shocking Eagle Eye's eardrums.

His eagle eyes widened as he stared intently at Bai An, his breathing quickening. He hadn't expected that someone could actually be better than him in swordsmanship.

Although I've never heard of this name before.

But like the young man and the woman with the umbrella, they must be powerful figures hiding their identities.

At this moment, he was extremely excited and couldn't wait to spar with his opponent.

As for whether the boy in front of him was deceiving him, he had no doubt about it at all, since the other party had no reason to lie to him given his strength.

It can't just be a whimsical, offhand hobby.

Hawkeye's eyes were filled with intense fighting spirit:

"Sir, where is your friend? I'd like to spar with him and learn the essence of swordsmanship!"

“My friend’s whereabouts are unpredictable. He doesn’t like to fight with others, and I don’t know where he is now.”

Bai An spread out his palms, feigning helplessness, and then pretended to recall something.

"I still remember clearly one sentence he said."

Bai An looked at Hawkeye and said seriously.

He said, "I have a blade of grass that can cut down stars, and a sword that can split the heavens."

Hawkeye's pupils contracted.

In that instant, he seemed to see a proud and aloof figure standing high above the clouds, looking down upon all living beings.

He took a deep breath, his gaze toward Bai An growing increasingly serious.

"There really is such a powerful senior in swordsmanship. It's a pity I didn't have the chance to meet him. If you ever see this senior again, please tell him that I am willing to give anything just for the opportunity to exchange sword techniques with him!"

Hawkeye composed himself and sincerely bowed to Bai An.

His words were forceful and resounding.

He would rather give up his current honors and everything else if he could improve his swordsmanship further.

Meanwhile, on the execution platform.

Kazami Yuuka's expression was somewhat strange. She naturally didn't need to use her full strength in the battle against the Navy in front of her, and she had been keeping an eye on Bai An's situation the whole time.

So she heard everything Bai An said.

How could she not remember that Bai An had such a friend?

And Pineapple Snow, if she remembers correctly, isn't that a character from an animated film?

Gensokyo's Dimensional Shop: Chapter Twenty-Three - Hana-chan is so cool!!!

"Although you'll most likely never see Pineapple Blizzard, I have another friend here named Youmu Konpaku. She's also an extremely skilled swordswoman, a master of dual-wielding. If you'd like, I can arrange for you two to spar."

Bai An suggested with a faint smile.

Although he doesn't understand swordsmanship, with Youmu's strength, she is basically invincible in this world.

It should be more than enough for the two of them to have a swordsmanship match.

"Thank you, sir. Where is your friend now? May we talk now?"

Hawkeye was taken aback for a moment, then readily agreed.

He had never heard of the other party, and didn't even know the name Youmu, but there was no reason for the other party to make fun of him, or rather, to lie to him.

"Youmu didn't come with me. She's in another world. If you'd like, I can arrange it after this war is over."

Bai An looked around at the battlefield. The battle was in its climax and wouldn't end anytime soon.

"Alright! You're on Whitebeard's side, right? I can help you fight against the Marines."

Hawkeye stated his position without hesitation, which made Akainu so angry that he almost vomited blood. He glared at Bai An with rage. If looks could kill, Bai An would probably have died a thousand times over.

Of course, he wouldn't dare to make a move.

If he were to make a move, the situation would become one where the other party, Whitebeard, and Hawkeye were all targeting him. At that point, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would have no chance of escaping.

Bai An noticed Akainu's burning gaze, as intense as a fire-breathing dragon.

"Hey, hey, hey, you red dog over there, why are you glaring at me like that! And with that awful expression, did you eat shit?!"

Bai An opened his mouth and immediately made Akainu tremble with anger. Caught off guard, Whitebeard seized the opportunity and punched him hard, sending him flying backward.

The white-bearded man laughed heartily:

"Gurararara, Red Dog, huh? That name suits this guy quite well."

His smile caused Akainu to feel a sharp pain in his lungs, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

His extreme rage intensified the burning magma within him; his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared almost uncontrollably:

"You despicable pirate, I will tear you to pieces!"

Seeing this, Aokiji immediately tried to dissuade him:

"Calm down, Akainu, don't act rashly!"

Akainu's chest heaved as he glared at Whitebeard and Bai An not far away, his eyes filled with such venom and hatred that they seemed to ignite a raging inferno, burning and destroying everything in their path.

Whitebeard and Whitebeard, however, paid no attention to Akainu's appearance and continued their banter.

"Oh? Tear me to pieces, huh? I'm looking forward to it too. But can you beat me?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Bai An's eyes before he turned to look at the white-bearded man.

"Do you think this guy might get so angry that he explodes and becomes the first admiral to die of anger?"

"Probably not. This guy is a general, after all. It would be too embarrassing for him to self-destruct over something like this. But as for this red dog, I don't know anything about it."

Whitebeard retorted with a sarcastic remark, knowing that according to the original timeline, his son Ace would have died at this guy's hands by now.

Although the ending has changed, Whitebeard still harbors a deep hatred for Akainu.

"You bastard, go to hell!"

Akainu could no longer bear it. He roared, and boiling magma surged out of his body, engulfing his entire fist and making it enormous.

The enormous fist, radiating scorching heat, crashed down like a meteorite, slamming fiercely towards Whitebeard.

He moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of Whitebeard in the blink of an eye.

"Just in time!"

With a roar, Whitebeard's hands were enveloped in a white sphere, and as Akainu approached, the surrounding space suddenly distorted.

Immediately afterwards, Whitebeard exerted force with both hands.

Akainu seemed to be suppressed by invisible air, his whole body compressed, and his bones made cracking sounds.

This is the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which compresses the surrounding air.

Akainu is, after all, an admiral of the Marine Headquarters, and his reaction speed and strength are both very strong.

After a brief pause, they immediately used magma to form a shield wall to defend themselves.

But this was exactly the moment Whitebeard had been waiting for.

He pulled out a dark box from somewhere and slammed it heavily against Akainu. Inside were the explosive tags he had bought from Bai An.

"Damn it, Whitebeard, you old bastard!"

Bai An, who was watching from the sidelines, narrowed his eyes and immediately used a gap teleportation to disappear from the spot.

The next second, Bai An's figure appeared hundreds of meters away.

Although Hawkeye didn't know what was inside the box, seeing Bai An's terrified expression, he decisively chose to retreat.

Whitebeard noticed Bai An's unusual behavior, his heart skipped a beat, and realizing something was wrong, he immediately turned and ran.
