A pirate on the high seas kidnaps a Celestial Dragon!

"The world's greatest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk, truly lives up to his reputation, especially his eyes, which are exactly the same as your title."

Qi Bai also said this to Hawkeye.

"You're here for me, so state your purpose."

Hawkeye's gaze swept over the people on the three ships around him. Apart from the people on the naval warship who were handcuffed and standing by the railing, there were a few people on the other two ships. Judging from his Observation Haki alone, these people were not to be underestimated.

"The purpose."

"My goal is very simple, there is only one thing, and that is to rob."

Qi Bai, also a backup, directly revealed his purpose in revealing the nine umbrellas and six directions.

"Hawkeye, you're the target of our robbery now. So, are you going to cooperate obediently and hand over all your valuables? Or do you want to struggle a bit more when we rob you?"

He looked at Hawkeye with a smile on his face, as if he wasn't worried about Hawkeye resisting at all.

however.

his words.

It only reached the ears of some bystanders, the audience.

This frightened them quite a bit.

On the deck of the Baratie.

"Is this guy courting death? He actually dares to try and rob Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!"

On this ship, there were only two people standing, and Sanji said with a shocked expression.

"It's not necessarily courting death. The fact that the other party knew Hawkeye's identity but still did it shows that the other party is very confident in their own strength."

Zeff spoke up.

He didn't think that someone capable of unleashing such a powerful attack that could instantly knock so many people unconscious would be so stupid.

……

On the warship.

Smoker, now a prisoner of Qi Bai, hadn't smoked a cigar for many days.

This is simply unbearable for a heavy smoker.

but.

They were merely prisoners of the other side.

When did prisoners of war become entitled to make demands?

but.

Even Smoker, whose hands were handcuffed with seastone and who was standing by the ship's railing, was deeply shocked by Qi Bai's words.

"This guy has already offended the Navy, and now he's going to provoke Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!"

"Is he out of his mind?! Making enemies everywhere?!"

Smoker said he couldn't understand Qi Bai's behavior.

For the navy.

Even if the Navy sees some harmful pirates, it won't easily offend them, even if it can afford to. Provoking them would bring no benefit to the Navy, and might even result in greater losses for them.

but.

Qi Bai and Mihawk could be said to have no enmity whatsoever.

Even if you did see them, there was absolutely no need to rob them, thus creating conflict and making enemies with Hawkeye.

But rather.

That's exactly what Qi Bai did.

He even directly threatened Hawkeye to rob him?

Courage!

That's real courage.

If he hadn't witnessed a fierce battle between one of the members of Garp and Qi Bai's bandit group, which made him realize the formidable strength of Qi Bai's bandit team, then...

Then he would definitely think that Qi Bai is a stubborn fool.

"You mean you're going to rob me?"

Hawkeye looked up, his gaze falling on Qi Bai, and said.

"Wasn't I clear enough?"

"I, Qi Bai, am going to rob you, Eagle Eye. You should hand over all your valuables right now, so I won't have to do such a crude thing as robbing you myself. Isn't that better?"

"So, Hawkeye, are you going to cooperate with me, or not?"

Qi Bai spoke up.

(Money is good)

His words stunned some of the surrounding audience members.

They were so shocked they almost dropped their jaws on the deck.

only because.

Qi Bai's words were incredibly arrogant.

The people in front of him.

He's not some minor pirate.

Instead, it's Hawkeye Mihawk, who is both one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the world's greatest swordsman.

even.

In the eyes of many powerful people in the world.

Hawkeye's strength should be considered the strongest among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

of course.

This is also what some people themselves think.

"interesting."

A smile also appeared on Hawkeye's face.

This was the first time anyone had dared to threaten him like this.

He found it very interesting.

but.

That's all.

He reached behind him and grabbed the black sword, Yoru, a Supreme Grade Sword. This sword was known as the "world's strongest black sword." He had just used this sword to slice the last giant sailing ship of the Krieg Pirates in two with a single strike.

next moment.

Hawkeye also swung his sword in an instant.

This strike would be devastating to an ordinary person.

Even after Hawkeye had finished swinging, he probably wouldn't have noticed.

But for Qi Bai and others...

They saw it very clearly.

Time Sphere—!

Qi Bai raised his hand, and a Time Orb appeared between him and Hawkeye in an instant.

And in this time sphere.

It was a sword aura unleashed by Eagle Eye.

Inside the time sphere, this sword energy was practically stationary.

"Disappear."

Qi Bai moved his hand slightly, and the sword energy within the time sphere gradually shrank, disappearing under everyone's gaze. As the sword energy vanished, the time sphere also gradually shrank and disappeared.

"The energy expenditure isn't particularly high, but I can only use it about a hundred times at most before my stamina is completely depleted."

He used the Time Sphere to time-bind Hawkeye's sword energy, keeping it under the Time Sphere's control. Then, he accelerated time within the Time Sphere, allowing Hawkeye's attack to be released and disappear within it.

This is not a time reversal; rather, he bound the opponent's attack within the fixed space of the time sphere and then accelerated time to make the opponent's attack complete a process similar to that of an ordinary person swinging a knife and finishing the swing.

and so……

This caused the opponent's sword energy to disappear within the time sphere.

but.

Calamity-level skills are indeed powerful.

Even though his physique had already been upgraded to the level of destroying a nation, it still consumed about one percent of his physical strength.

Moreover, this was just a basic attack from the opponent.

If the opponent's attack is even more powerful.

Therefore, the time sphere he casts will require more power, and he will also consume more physical strength.

"It's a pity that I didn't draw the energy that matches the Time Orb, otherwise I wouldn't have needed to expend my stamina."

Qi Bai thought to himself.

If the ability he draws out doesn't have corresponding energy, then even if he has other energy, it will be directly consumed by his physical strength.

and so……

Even though his spiritual pressure reached the level of a calamity.

However, when using the Time Ball ability, the consumption bypasses the [Spiritual Pressure] option and instead consumes his stamina.

He didn't know why either.

can only say.

It's all due to system issues.

of course.

Qi Bai had secretly speculated about this situation. Perhaps the system wanted him to collect the different energies from various worlds and eventually merge them all together.

Another possibility is that the system created this thing specifically to suppress its own power growth.

The purpose was to make him invest and consume a large amount of reputation points in the energy attributes of other worlds he drew.

but.

Qi Bai, of course, didn't dwell on this.

If the system doesn't provide explanations or answers to your questions, getting stuck on them is simply a waste of your time.

……

On the coffin boat.

"Devil fruit powers?"

Hawkeye wasn't particularly surprised to see his sword energy so easily neutralized by his opponent.

After all, that casual slash just now was merely a probing move.

If the opponent can't even block a casual strike from me.

Then.

What need did he have to take action?
