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

Zhefu frowned slightly.

"That pirate hunter is much stronger than rumored! He's a force to be reckoned with even in the Grand Line. But... is the difference in strength between him and the world's strongest swordsman really that vast?"

Sanji sighed inwardly.

"I never imagined that the green-haired guy had such strength. If I had fought him back then, I probably wouldn't have been a match for him!"

Usopp clutched his head and cried out in alarm.

"No way?! That Hawkeye blocked Zoro so easily?! That man is terrifying. Luffy, once we get to the Grand Line, we must stay away from this man."

Luffy and Uta, however, had anticipated this.

Zoro is strong in the East Blue, but as he journeys to the Grand Line, especially when facing figures from the New World, he is currently insignificant.

Zoro, on the other hand, was extremely shocked to see himself blocked so casually.

"I can't move! What on earth did this guy do?"

"Just that toy can block my attacks..."

“How…How is this possible?!”

"No...that's impossible."

"No matter what, my dream can't be this far away from me."

"My dream world shouldn't be this far away."

Zoro roared in anger and resentment, then frantically swung his three swords and engaged Mihawk in battle.

To onlookers, all they could see was a dazzling display of swordplay between the two.

The occasional bursts of sword energy left real marks on the ship beneath their feet.

Those watching were stunned by what they saw.

"So strong!"

"Is that the Pirate Hunter and the World's Greatest Swordsman? They're monsters!"

"Joseph, speaking of which, isn't Zoro much stronger than when he left us?"

"I feel the same way, Johnny! Zoro is several times stronger than before! It's terrifying!"

...

The onlookers were stunned by the battle between the two, and Hawkeye was also deeply moved by Zoro's performance.

He could clearly sense Zoro's progress.

It seems that with each swing of the knife, there is some improvement.

Hawkeye was shocked.

"What kind of terrifying rate of improvement is this?"

He suddenly swung his sword, sending Zoro flying.

I admit I misjudged you!

"Perhaps one day in the future, you will grow into a true strong person."

"But now, I don't care what mission you are carrying or how much you want to become stronger."

"Since you have drawn your sword against me, your defeat is already inevitable."

Without hesitation, Zoro stood up abruptly and changed his fighting stance once again.

He held the two knives side by side behind his left back, forming a cross with the knife in his mouth.

"Tiger Hunt!"

Zoro roared and charged forward once again.

Pfft!

With a spurt of blood, Zoro's chest was easily pierced by Hawkeye's dagger.

The scene once again shocked everyone present.

Joseph and Johnny were in tears, crying out in worry.

"Big Brother!!!"

A hint of disdain flashed in Klick's eyes.

"So this is what the legendary pirate hunter is all about! Judging by this, I should be able to crush him easily."

Zhefu's eyes showed regret.

"In the end, the gap is still too big."

Sanji, for some reason, started to worry about Zoro.

"That guy... he should just admit defeat!"

Hawkeye, however, had a look of doubt in his eyes.

Why don't you back down or dodge?

He clearly sensed that Zoro could have retreated and dodged, but Zoro just charged straight at him and was stabbed by him.

With a resolute expression, Suo spoke in a deep voice.

"I do not know."

"But one thing is certain: if I back down, all the vows and promises I once valued will vanish. And then, they will never come back."

Zoro suddenly clenched his teeth, and his fighting spirit flared up again in his eyes.

"I would rather die in battle than live a life of dishonor!"

At that moment, Hawkeye was stunned.

He had never encountered such a strong competitive spirit before.

At the same time, a prompt came to Luffy's mind.

"Your comprehension is extraordinary. Through personal contemplation and perception, your transmission spirit has been enhanced."

"Your Transmission Spirit has been enhanced, and the awakening of Conqueror's Haki has accelerated!"

Hawkeye's expression turned serious as he pulled the dagger from Zoro's chest.

"Boy, tell me your name!"

Zoro switched to his battle form again, bringing his hands together so that the two swords in his hands and the sword in his mouth formed a windmill shape.

"Roronoa Zoro!"

Hawkeye put away the small knife in his hand and drew the black knife from his back.

"Roronoa Zoro! I'll remember you!"

"You are a rare and powerful person to me. I will treat a swordsman with the etiquette of a swordsman."

"I will end your life with this world's strongest black sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hawkeye leaned forward, holding the black sword at his side. This was the first time he had taken Zoro's challenge seriously.

Seeing this, Zoro unleashed his full power, and the two swords in his hands began to spin, forming a whirlwind.

"The Secret of Three Sword Styles: Three Thousand Worlds!"

The two unleashed their power simultaneously, and in a flash of sword light, their figures had already crossed paths.

when!

The sound of weapons breaking rang out, and both swords in Zoro's hands shattered.

One strike, and the outcome is decided!

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Zoro Awakens Conqueror's Haki

"Is this the strongest power in the world?"

Zoro sighed inwardly and silently put away the Wado Ichimonji.

Then he turned around, faced Hawkeye, opened his arms, and prepared to face death.

"!!!"

Seeing this, Hawkeye was puzzled and asked.

"Boy, what do you want to do?"

Zoro smiled faintly as a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"A scar on the back is a swordsman's shame!"

In an instant, Hawkeye's heart was shaken.

His lips curled up in a smile, his eyes filled with excitement and admiration.

"Have the guts!"

At the same time, another prompt came into Luffy's mind.

"Your comprehension is extraordinary. Through personal contemplation and perception, your transmission spirit has been enhanced."

"Your Transmission Spirit has been enhanced, and the awakening of Conqueror's Haki has accelerated!"

Seeing Zoro's resolve, Hawkeye slowly raised his sword.

Suddenly, a diagonal slash.

Suddenly, blood splattered!

Zoro collapsed to the ground!

"Big Brother!!!"

"Zoron!!!"

"Green algae head!!!"

Anxious gasps rang out from all around.

Even though Luffy had expected this, he was still deeply moved upon seeing it.

Regardless, Zoro was also one of his crew members, and seeing his subordinates being completely defeated would inevitably move him to some extent.

However, based on his Observation Haki, he knew that Zoro was still alive, so Hawkeye did not kill him.

However, she needs to be treated quickly.

Luffy leaped to Zoro's side and prepared to take him for treatment.

"Who are you to him?"

Hawkeye noticed Luffy's sudden arrival and asked in confusion.

“I am his captain, and he is the swordsman of my pirate crew.”

Luffy responded.

Hawkeye nodded upon hearing this and said.

"You've found a fine swordsman!"

Suddenly, Hawkeye noticed the straw hat Luffy was wearing and was momentarily stunned.

Just as he was about to intervene, a dissatisfied voice suddenly came from nearby.

"Hawkeye, you've gone too far! The opponent is so much weaker than you, yet you still attacked so brutally!"

Everyone looked over and saw a beautiful girl with half red and half white hair angrily glaring at Hawkeye.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Usopp was so frightened that his legs started to tremble, and he said in a shaking voice.

"Hey! U...Uta! Don't provoke that guy! He'll kill us!"

Joseph and Johnny hugged each other, crying and begging Uta.
