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

Along that line, the sea began to cut.

It was as if two invisible forces were tearing the entire sea apart from different directions, splitting it in two.

In the middle, a bottomless, pitch-black abyss was formed, with no end in sight.

The seawater above the two seas plunged into the abyss like a flood breaking through a dam.

Meanwhile, in the corresponding sky...

The rolling dark clouds, like a surging, bubbling sea of ​​clouds, were also split in two by two invisible forces, slowly spreading to both sides.

The billowing, surging sea of ​​clouds, like the seawater below, rushed wildly toward the crack.

Everyone on the Baratie was stunned by this earth-shattering scene.

Krick's eyeballs were on the verge of bursting when he arrived in Baratie, and now they were bloodshot, looking like they were on the verge of exploding.

He spoke in a trembling, somewhat hoarse voice, uttering words that were deeply moving.

"The sky...the sky and the sea...they've all been separated! What...what kind of monsters are they? Am I fighting against humans?"

After being repeatedly defeated by Mihawk and Luffy to the point of questioning his existence, Gin was once again plunged into an abyss.

"Are these really rookie pirates? Is this really the strength of pirates? Are we even considered pirates?"

Sanji's eyebrows were twitching so hard they were almost cramping, and his mouth hadn't closed since the beginning.

"Compared to their power, which can even split heaven and earth, I'm utterly useless!"

Usopp was once again deeply shocked, his tongue and his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

"Heavens...the sky and the sea have been separated, so what does that mean for a true sea warrior? Will I have to fight monsters like that in the future?...I think I have a disease that will kill me if I stay at sea."

Zoro was so shocked that he kept making "ah" sounds in his throat, and said in a trembling voice.

"That guy... he can actually do that? I... I'm still a long way off!!!"

This was the first time Uta had seen Luffy go all out, and she hadn't expected him to be this strong. She muttered to herself.

"Slicing through the sky and the sea, it's just like when Hawkeye and Shanks fought... Luffy, you've become this strong already?"

Just as everyone was in awe and amazement, Zhefu's exclamation suddenly rang out.

"Quickly furl down the sails, or we'll fall into that underwater crevice with this ship."

"

Zhefu's exclamation immediately brought everyone back to their senses.

Then everyone saw the Baratie being carried by the surging seawater towards the bottomless abyss that Luffy and Mihawk had cut open.

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

"Oh no, we're going to fall into that crack."

"It's over. I'm dead now."

"Help! I don't want to die!"

Just as some people began to cry out for help, Zeff shouted again.

"There are fixed oars by the fence, everyone hurry up and row together."

Although it's a drop in the ocean, it'll help for as long as possible.

Everyone who could move immediately ran to the side of the boat and began rowing in the opposite direction with the huge oars.

Meanwhile, after a fierce collision, the sky and the sea were torn apart by Luffy and Mihawk.

Hawkeye was genuinely amazed by Luffy's power.

"Monkey D. Luffy! You really surprise me time and time again!"

"You, whose strength was originally far inferior to mine, are now able to unleash power that rivals mine."

"Your ability is to release your domineering aura all at once, achieving the effect of unleashing maximum power in an instant, right?"

"This also means that you don't have the sustained power to maintain this burst of energy."

"What a pity, Straw Hat Boy."

"If your Conqueror's Haki were even more domineering and more abundant, I might lose this contest."

"But now, the outcome is decided."

As soon as Hawkeye finished speaking, he suddenly saw Luffy give a strange smile.

The next moment, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Suddenly, a burst of white energy shot out from Luffy's right fist, which was enveloped in purplish-black lightning, like a cannonball.

The white aura contained an extremely powerful and domineering force.

In the instant it erupted, it suddenly transformed into a huge, domineering tiger.

The explosive roar of the tiger tearing through the air was like a series of tiger's howls, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The immense energy contained within intertwined with the purplish-black lightning.

As if merging into one, they formed an even more domineering purplish-black electric tiger.

Roar! ! !

The air exploded like a tiger's roar, and the purplish-black electric tiger unleashed unparalleled and astonishing power in an instant.

Hawkeye was shocked, but by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late.

In an instant, the enormous green sphere of light, as large as a mountain, was shattered.

A white tiger burst forth from the purplish-black lightning, like a wild horse, galloping wildly, leaving behind a trail of crackling purplish-black lightning that sliced ​​through the air.

...

Luffy vs. Hawkeye, Luffy wins!

Chapter 44 The Straw Hat Pirates are terrifying (Thanks to Zheng Zekai for urging an update, and to Anbai deft for the monthly ticket)

Barrati on.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the will-o'-the-wisp green mist on Hawkeye's side being torn apart and shattered.

Klick's eyes were bloodshot and throbbed like a heartbeat, on the verge of bursting.

They were trembling with shock and couldn't even speak.

"That...that...Hawkeye...was actually...defeated?! Defeated by that...Straw Hat Boy?!"

Akin stared incredulously at the enormous tiger gradually dissipating in the air, his eyes filled with disbelief and his heart filled with extreme shock.

"That rookie pirate defeated the Hawkeye guy who slashed down 50 of our ships?! Was he really a rookie pirate? Are all rookies this overpowered these days? Should we... retire?"

Sanji was overwhelmed with shock and murmured to himself.

"Luffy...did he really defeat the world's strongest swordsman?! That kind of strength, and he's only just set sail?"

Although Zeff was greatly shocked to see Luffy break through Mihawk's defenses, he was more concerned about the crisis that had previously occurred in Baratie.

After the two finished their attack, the dark and gloomy scene began to brighten, and the separated sky and sea gradually began to move closer to each other. The once turbulent sea gradually returned to calm.

Zhefu couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that the ship and our lives are saved!"

Usopp then raised his arms and shouted, his previous fear and apprehension vanishing in an instant.

"Yoshi! Luffy, you did a great job. With you around, the Grand Line isn't so scary after all! Even the world's strongest swordsman was defeated by you. I knew you were extraordinary from the start, and it seems I was right!"

As soon as Usopp finished speaking, Zoro shook his head beside him.

"No! Hawkeye hasn't lost! Usopp, use your Observation Haki to sense him. Hawkeye's presence is still there. He's probably just injured, not defeated."

Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately activated his Observation Haki and indeed spotted Hawkeye, who had been sent flying into the sea and was now climbing onto a coffin lid.

Usopp immediately reverted to his withdrawn self.

"So I really do have that disease that kills you at sea! The world's greatest swordsman is terrifying, the Grand Line is terrifying!"

Uta was naturally aware of the current battle situation, but she was more concerned about Luffy's safety.

Because after Luffy unleashed that attack, the azure mist around his body completely dissipated, and he suddenly lost all his strength.

And because there was no foothold, they began to fall into the sea below.

"Luffy!!!"

Uta cried out in alarm and leaped into the air, walking on air.

Moon step!

This is a skill that Luffy helped Uta learn from the Marines brought by Garp, using his extraordinary comprehension. Furthermore, with Luffy's help, Uta practiced it to an unparalleled level.

Its speed is so fast that it's almost like teleportation.

In a few blinks, she arrived on top of Luffy's head.

He pulled Luffy, who had sunk most of his body into the water, up and carried him back to Baratie.

"Luffy, are you alright?"

Uta looked at Luffy lying in her arms with concern and asked softly.

Luffy forced a weak smile.

"I'm fine, I'm just too tired. I'll be fine after a rest."

"Ouch...it hurts...it hurts..."

After the Eight Gates were released, Luffy's skin turned bright red as if it had been burned.

Furthermore, due to the strain on his body, even the slightest touch to his body would cause him excruciating pain.

Fortunately, he has a strong physique and the ability of the Gum-Gum Fruit, which makes him more resilient, so it's not too unbearable.

"Sanji, can you make me something to eat? I'm so hungry!"

Luffy said weakly.

This exertion almost drained him, and once he returned to normal, he immediately felt incredibly hungry.

Upon hearing this, Sanji immediately turned around and walked towards Baratie's restaurant.

"Hold on!"

At that moment, Hawkeye, who had been knocked away earlier, floated over from his coffin lid.

Luffy turned his head with difficulty.

At this moment, Hawkeye had blood at the corner of his mouth, looked slightly worse than before, and his clothes were torn at the chest.

It appears that a rather large scar was left on his chest.

Luffy wasn't surprised to see Hawkeye appear.

If this battle were a fight to the death, he would surely be the one to lose.

Just as Hawkeye said, his attack was only a burst of energy, lacking follow-through and unable to be sustained.

So once the opponent manages to hold on for that one moment, the move is broken.

But to Hawkeye's surprise, Luffy's move had a hidden meaning, triggering a second attack.

This caught Hawkeye off guard, causing him to suffer a loss at Luffy's hands.

If Hawkeye had known about Luffy's move beforehand, he probably would have taken a different approach.

However, although something unexpected happened, his strength is undeniable.

Even though his defense was instantly shattered by Luffy, he managed to protect his body with powerful Armament Haki, preventing him from being defeated in one blow.

Looking at Luffy lying there, exhausted, Hawkeye's eyes held a complex mix of emotions.

Suffering a loss at the hands of a greenhorn who has just set sail will inevitably cause him to lose face as the world's number one swordsman.

So there was a hint of embarrassment and annoyance in his eyes.

But more than anything, people admired and praised Luffy.
