Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 188 Sengoku Period: I Plan to Sell Some Naval Bases

"Mr. Karp, it seems that the years have left no trace on you."

Hawkeye had no intention of backing down.

He is the world's strongest swordsman and a pilgrim who has comprehended a higher level of swordsmanship. He now symbolizes the pinnacle of swordsmanship in the pirate world.

Originally, he never had such thoughts; he simply wanted to find a master swordsman to fight.

Like the world's strongest Whitebeard, who possesses the strongest Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit power, even Hawkeye has to admit defeat.

Because this is the limit of pirate swordsmanship.

Just like how women cannot become the strongest swordsmen, it's like the rule that governs the world.

No swordsman feels that he can defeat all enemies with the way of the sword, so he only needs to become the strongest among the swordsmen.

But things are different now.

It turns out that... in some other worlds, true sword masters can defeat all powerful enemies with overwhelming force.

Whether it's magic cultivation, body cultivation, strength cultivation, Buddhist cultivation, demonic cultivation... they're all as fragile as paper in front of sword cultivators.

You can't beat a body cultivator?

That's not because of the way of the sword, but because you're not strong enough. If you're strong enough... one sword can break through all laws!

An intense fighting spirit rose from Hawkeye's body.

"My name is Djokovic Mihawk!"

"I will prove to this world that the power of swordsmanship is not the kind of power that is distinguished from Devil Fruit users and Haki practitioners... it is not the so-called strongest creature, the strongest man, the strongest Paramecia type, or the strongest Zoan type."

"It is the strongest in the truest sense!"

at this time,

Countless fist shadows had gathered in the sky, and Doflamingo had to retreat.

Even dragons with the bloodline of wind dragons were unwilling to take this attack head-on.

Their keen combat awareness and biological instincts both detected the danger of this move.

"Hawkeye, huh? I always thought you were just an ordinary pirate. Looks like I was wrong!"

Garp's gaze was solemn.

He sensed the same aura emanating from Hawkeye as that of the deceased Pirate King Roger.

That was a will that was pure enough.

Roger represented the purest form of free will in that sea area back then.

The eagle eye before them, however, originates from the will of the sword.

"amazing!"

Accompanied by Garp's exclamation of praise,

All the countless fist shadows disappeared; to be precise, they all coalesced into the fist that Garp was about to unleash.

"bring it on!"

Hawkeye abandoned all fancy moves and techniques.

His fighting spirit and sword energy surged to their peak, and he unleashed his strongest slash.

The strikes were no longer as large as mountains, nor did they carry a blinding sharpness.

Instead, it resembles a crescent moon of emerald green.

Azure Flame - Yellow Springs Palace!

This is the name of this strike.

"Is Hawkeye courting death?"

Some pirates looked on with confusion.

Compared to the overwhelming force of Garp's punches, this slash could be unleashed by even a novice swordsman.

It's not even as good as Lan's foot.

Even Zoro, who was fighting the Navy, found this scene rather strange.

Only the Revolutionary Army leader and Doflamingo, who were closest to the sword, sensed that the sword energy contained power no less than Garp's Iron Fist.

Click.

The sky seemed to crack open like a mirror.

The entire island of death fell silent at that moment, as if everything had lost its sound.

boom.

The clash between sword energy and fist.

A shockwave, seemingly capable of overturning the ocean, spread outwards from the center, blasting deep craters into the ground, which continued to expand outwards.

Countless players suffered, like weeds struggling in a storm, instantly swallowed up.

The aftershocks of the collision spread to the edge of Death Island, the boiling seawater surged outwards, and the entire island sank into it.

"Baboon, baboon."

Doflamingo laughed wildly.

It seems you can see the panicked faces of the audience behind the Den Den Mushi after this move, including Sengoku and the Five Elders of the Marine Headquarters, as well as the Four Emperors of the Sea.

This is the new era!

All the rules and laws of the past can only be eliminated by the game of reincarnation. Anyone who fails to master the ability of the game of reincarnation, even Im who stands at the pinnacle of the world, will become a weakling who can be bullied at will.

silence.

The whole world was silent; the air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Sengoku stared blankly at the Death Island, where the smoke and dust had not yet dissipated.

Turning his head to look at the lieutenant general who was constantly analyzing data, he asked, "Didn't you say that a branch colonel sent back information that Death Island is protected by a special energy, with an overall strength several times that of the real world? Could you give me a precise number?"

The vice admiral who had been called out snapped out of his daze, glanced at Death Island with lingering fear, took a deep breath, and said, "The soil, rocks, seawater, building materials, and other materials for Death Island have been purchased by the branch navy and will soon be sent back to the Navy Headquarters."

"No data can be used as a reference standard before the research materials are analyzed."

Hearing his ambiguous answer, Sengoku frowned slightly and said, "I don't need standard data from research materials, just tell me your speculation."

"Nine times."

The lieutenant general answered cautiously.

Nine times?

Zhan Guo took a deep breath, and a fine layer of sweat unconsciously appeared on his palms.

If we extrapolate from this perspective...

The aftershocks of the clash between Hawkeye and Garp were so powerful that they could even cleave the Red Line in two.

A single battle between the two could even alter the map of the One Piece world, uniting the four seas into one.

Even though Sengoku had already made enough mental preparations to speculate about the mysterious and powerful game merchant, he was still stunned by this news.

Such an open and blatant battle,

Even the Five Elders wouldn't be able to sit still, would they?

"Bring me the naval deployment map!"

Suddenly, Sengoku waved his hand and sent naval soldiers to retrieve the deployment maps of the naval headquarters and branches.

It includes the four major sea areas and the Grand Line.

The deployment map shows all the navy's training grounds, naval bases, stationed naval units, as well as naval-related buildings, facilities, and islands.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, wouldn't it be inappropriate to mobilize troops from all corners of the land now?"

Some lieutenant generals close to the world government raised objections.

They are World Government agents embedded within the Navy Headquarters, used to monitor and better control the Navy's top brass.

For them, all interests must be prioritized by the World Government.

previously,

The Warring States period's demand for military funds, taken in a tough stance, was already pushing the boundaries of what the World Government could tolerate.

Now they actually want to mobilize the navies of the four major branches and the Grand Line without informing the World Government?

Naval Headquarters

It is merely a subordinate organization of the World Government. Although it controls a large army, it is like a general in a kingdom whose technology is still in the ancient era.

All actions must be carried out under the command of the King, who is also the World Government.

He privately mobilized a large number of troops from all over the world.

This has crossed the line for world governments.

"Mobilize the navy?"

Sengoku glanced at their indignant faces with a puzzled look, and explained, "You all misunderstand, I had no intention of mobilizing these naval forces."

It's not enough to just mobilize the navy.

The vice admirals on the World Government's side all breathed a sigh of relief.

The Warring States period now is completely different from before, filled with a sense of sharp edges and brilliance.

They didn't want to clash with Fleet Admiral Sengoku unless necessary, since he was, after all, the nominal supreme commander of the navy.

However, what they said next made them feel completely lost.

"I plan to sell some useless naval bases and facilities and convert them into reward points to support the East China Sea."
