Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

Ajin appeared before the crowd, supporting a tall man.

"Is that... Leader Krieg?"

Why does he look like he's about to faint?

There was a lot of discussion in the restaurant.

Krick then spoke, his voice sounding extremely weak.

"Excuse me, if possible, please give us water and food."

"If you want money, we have plenty."

After saying that, Klee suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Chief Krik!"

Ajin exclaimed in surprise, then looked at everyone in the restaurant.

"Please give us water and food, please, please save the captain."

"If this drags on any longer, he will die."

Seeing this, no one else in the restaurant made a sound, while Sanji went back into the kitchen.

Luffy didn't rush to make a move; he wanted to let Sanji see the true colors of this group.

Soon, Sanji brought out a plate of seafood fried rice and placed it in front of Krieg.

Seeing this, Gin looked at Sanji with gratitude, his eyes filled with tears.

"Mr. Sanji..."

"Once you've finished eating, take him and leave quickly!"

Sanji responded.

He hoped that what Luffy had said that day wouldn't happen.

"Hey! Sanji, do you even know who that guy is?"

"He's the leader of the Krieg Pirates, who dominate the East Blue!"

"I heard that he started out as a navy officer, but during one voyage he killed the captain, stole the warship, and then raised the pirate flag."

"Sometimes, he would raise the naval ensign again, then sail into the harbor and raid towns and passenger ships. He would also pretend to surrender to the enemy and then launch a surprise attack on them."

"He's capable of anything for his own benefit!"

"This guy will definitely not go back obediently after finishing his food."

Inside the restaurant, the other chefs were telling Sanji about Krieg's exploits.

Suddenly, Sanji felt a heavy blow to the head as soon as he finished listening. Before he could react, he had already been knocked to the ground by Krieg.

Upon seeing this, Ajin exclaimed in surprise.

"Chief Krick, didn't you promise me you wouldn't attack this shop?"

Klick ignored Akin and couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah! I feel like I've come back to life."

He then looked at the Baratie ship with great interest, a smile playing on his lips.

"This ship is nice, I'll take it."

Then he looked at the chefs who looked panicked and said in a commanding tone.

"Hey! Hurry up and prepare 100 servings of food and water for me. There are still people on our ship who are hungry."

The chefs refused outright, shouting angrily.

"You want us to rescue a bunch of pirates who know they're going to attack us? Don't even think about it!"

"Get out of here right now."

Krick's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.

"I'm not begging you, I'm ordering you. No one can disobey me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Krick suddenly raised his arm, and several gun barrels suddenly appeared on the golden armor on his shoulder. Together with the two pistols in his hand, they were aimed at the chefs present.

Just then, Sanji suddenly got up from the ground and stopped Krieg.

"100 servings of food and water, right? I'll go prepare them right away."

The chefs immediately wanted to object to Sanji, but Zeff stopped them.

"Stop arguing, come to the kitchen and help me."

Zhefu had given the order, so the other chefs, even if they were unwilling, went into the kitchen.

They were very obedient to Zhefu's orders.

Seeing how obedient the chefs were, Klee smiled with satisfaction.

...

After a while, Sanji came to Krieg carrying a large bag of food.

"Here are 100 servings of food. Hurry up and get them onto the ship!"

Krick gave a strange smile, picked up the food, and turned to leave.

After Krieg left, Sanji came to Gin's side and asked him curiously.

"Ah Jin, why have you all become like this?"

"Aren't you the pirate crew that dominates the East Blue?"

Ah Jin seemed to recall something terrifying; his eyes instantly turned despair-filled, devoid of any light.

He said in fear.

"I can't say for sure if it's true... I can't even believe it myself."

"On the seventh day after entering the Grand Line, I suddenly realized that the ships around me were sinking one after another."

"If it weren't for the storm at that time, we probably would have sunk with them."

"That man had a pair of sharp, deadly eyes, like the eyes of an eagle..."

Upon hearing this, Zoro suddenly shuddered, and his breathing became rapid.

"What did you say?"

Luffy instantly realized that the man Gin was talking about was Hawkeye.

Ah Jin looked on incredulously and fearfully, his eyes rolled back, and his pupils shrank to the extreme as he spoke.

"A man, he actually managed to destroy 50 pirate ships!"

These words shocked the entire audience.

"No...no way?!"

"Just one person..."

"Isn't that a monster?"

"Is this the Grand Line? How terrifying!"

...

"Who exactly is this person with eyes like an eagle's?"

Usopp asked with a mixture of fear and curiosity, thinking that he would avoid this man whenever he saw him in the future.

"He is the man I have been looking for."

Zoro was visibly excited, his body trembling slightly with emotion.

"You're talking about Hawkeye!"

At that moment, Uta suddenly blurted out a sentence.

Everyone looked at her curiously upon hearing this.

Luffy suddenly realized that in the original story, before Shanks lost his arm, Hawkeye and Shanks would often spar.

At that time, Uta should have been on Shanks' ship.

It seems that Uta and Hawkeye know each other.

As Luffy was thinking this, Usopp asked another question.

"Who is that?"

Uta then replied.

"Hawkeye's full name is Dracule Mihawk, and he is the world's greatest swordsman!"

Upon hearing Uta say those words, Zoro unconsciously tightened his grip on his sword.

Uta continued.

“When I was with Shanks and the others, Hawkeye would often challenge Shanks to a duel.”

"Speaking of which, Hawkeye is as strong as a monster."

"I still feel terrified when I think about the scene of his duel with Shanks."

Just as Uta was telling everyone about Hawkeye, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the restaurant.

Everyone who heard the noise came outside the restaurant and was immediately stunned, their mouths agape.

On the sea ahead, Krick's massive warship suddenly split neatly in two and began to slowly sink.

In the middle of the crack in the giant warship, a raft that looks like a coffin floats on the sea.

On the coffin lid stood a man of extraordinary bearing.

The man's eyes were sharp as an eagle's.

...

Chapter Thirty-Five: Zoro vs. Hawkeye

"Ugh... Am I dreaming?"

"Klick's main ship was... cut in half."

"Such a massive warship was... how is that possible?"

On the outer deck of the Barrati, people watched the incredibly shocking scene before them, all exclaiming in disbelief.

Zoro's gaze, however, remained fixed on the man standing on the coffin lid.

The moment he saw Hawkeye, his pupils and body trembled uncontrollably; his eyes were fixed on that one figure.

Luffy's attention was also on Hawkeye at this moment, after all, he is the world's greatest swordsman.

Just then, Luffy suddenly heard someone call his name.

"Big Brother Luffy! Big Brother Luffy!"

Luffy looked in the direction of the sound and saw Joseph and Johnny running over from the deck of the docked passenger ship, saying anxiously.

"Brother Luffy, Sister Nami sailed away all by herself."

"what?!"

Usopp was the first to scream.

Uta was also quite surprised.

"Nami...why?"

Luffy appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he sighed.

"Nami, you still haven't chosen to rely on me, your captain!"

Johnny handed Luffy a folded note and said...

"Brother Luffy, Sister Nami said we should give this note to you."
