Sailing Starts from Becoming Luffy

Watching silently as Usopp carried Zoro back to Luffy's side, Hawkeye didn't take back the black knife in his hand.

Those sharp eagle eyes took a deep look at Zoro on Usopp's back, and then turned their attention to Luffy who was still standing there.

"To be able to get the approval of that eagle eye, it seems that you are not a simple kid!"

Just when Usopp was carrying Zoro past Sanji and Zapp, looking at Zoro who was still awake, Zhep praised Zoro with some emotion.

"Why do you want to take that attack, if he did it directly, you might already be dead!"

Unlike Zapp's admiration, Sanji didn't understand why Zoro was so persistent.

"Because of my ambitions, I will not allow myself to step back!"

"Even if you lose your life because of it?"

"Even if you lose your life because of it!"

"It's stupid, here, this is stab wound medicine, put it on him, don't die here!"

With a whisper, Sanji threw a bottle of ointment to Usopp.

Sanji didn't speak anymore, did he think he was stupid, maybe a little bit, but more of it was his admiration for his willingness to die.

"Luffy..."

Looking at Luffy who had been silent since just now, Nami was a little worried and wanted to say something.

Obviously Zoro is already so strong, but he was beaten by the man called Hawkeye with a toy-like knife without any resistance.

Even though he knew that Luffy might still have hidden strength, Nami still had a deep worry in his heart.

"Don't worry, Nami, I'll be fine!"

Seeing Nami's worried expression, Luffy patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, then took off the straw hat she was wearing on top of her head.

"Keep my hat for me."

With that said, Luffy pressed the straw hat to Nami's beautiful long orange hair.

Feeling the warmth of the straw hat on his head, Nami's heart seemed to calm down.

"Hey, do you want to be the same as that green algae head, do you have to be chopped to death before giving up?"

Seeing that Luffy, who had taken off his straw hat, seemed to be preparing to fight the man named Hawkeye, Sanji only felt that this world seemed to be no longer the one he was familiar with.

Why are there so many people who are not afraid of death all of a sudden?

"Although the bet is void, you can still consider whether you want to accept my invitation. Then, let's limit the battle to this one, and tell me the answer after the battle is over?"

Luffy said to Sanji without looking back.

"You guy..."

Sanji stared blankly at Luffy who was walking towards Hawkeye, not knowing what to say for a while.

"I kept you waiting, Your Excellency Hawkeye!" Luffy, who stood in front of Hawkeye, didn't shoot immediately.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's a boring journey to pass the time. It's better to say that I can meet a tyrant like you in this East Blue, but it makes me happy."

I didn't care about Luffy's previous actions, it would be better to say that Hawkeye also wanted to see what Luffy was like.

"That couldn't be better!"

After speaking, Luffy and Hawkeye stopped talking.

A dignified atmosphere formed between the two, like the tranquility before the storm, which made the few people watching the battle from a distance feel suffocated.

Just when the people watching the battle were about to be unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere between the two, Luffy, who was standing still, moved first.

I saw Luffy flick his right hand and hit the air out of thin air.

Then, on Luffy's right wrist, there seemed to be a tiny layer of bulge that began to creep along Luffy's right hand, swimming all over the body where the clothes could not see.

Then, Luffy seemed to have just come out of the steamer, his skin turned slightly red, and steam visible to the naked eye continued to emanate from Luffy's body.

"Second gear - Fire Fist!"

Only a low voice could be heard, and Luffy's figure disappeared directly in place.

The few people who were watching the game couldn't see how Luffy was moving.

When they looked around, trying to find Luffy's figure.

A roar grabbed their attention.

I saw Luffy, who was still standing opposite Hawkeye, now appeared above the head where Hawkeye was originally.

Luffy, who showed his figure, was making a fist in his right hand at this time, his entire arm was pitch black, and a fiery flame was burning on it.

And in the place where Hawkeye stood, a huge pothole was formed.

The wooden deck debris was flying, and the opening of the pothole was accompanied by the burning of flames.

At this time, Hawkeye had already stood beside the pothole.

"A very skilled Armament Haki, I didn't expect you to have trained Haki to this level before you even walked out of East Blue!"

Looking at Luffy's pitch-black right hand, he exclaimed again.

"Since you made a move, then take my sword too!"

Saying that, Hawkeye didn't do anything else, just the right hand holding the black knife trembled slightly.

As the black knife swung, a cyan slash quickly shot towards Luffy.

This level of slashing was no threat to Luffy.

Even without the Observation Haki, dodging is not difficult.

But watching the slash easily cut the deck open, Luffy knew that the battle between the two might soon be over.

It's not that Luffy only has this degree.

But the place where the two of them are located is not enough to support a high-intensity battle.

Just after Luffy dodged the first slash, successive slashes kept swinging out of the black knife in Hawkeye's hand.

Even so, for Luffy who opened Observation Haki, none of them could attack Luffy.

"Such a slash, such a speed! Can a human really do it?"

The battle between the two so far may have been easy for the two of them.

But for the few people who watched the battle, it seemed that the worldview had been refreshed.

The rapid slashes that cut the deck apart easily.

The figure that was swiftly dodging between the slashes.

It seems that they are out of tune with this world, making several people stunned.

"Even Observation Haki is so skilled, it's really hard to imagine how you are practicing in East Blue, the weakest sea!"

Hawkeye has not stopped admiring Luffy since the fight began.

Even if he only used a few points of strength, it is obvious that he did not use all his strength to see the other party's ease.

"Towards the peacock!"

Said to be facing the peacock, it was nothing more than using the fire fist gun with both hands, and then continuously punching in combination with the attack method of the machine gun.

However, Luffy, who was already extremely fast, went even further with the blessing of the second gear.

The punched fist shrank quickly, and then continued to swipe.

Because of the speed, it was as if Luffy was not attacking with his fists, but threw fiery balls of fire.

Countless fireballs completely covered the eagle eye on the deck.

Attack and defense completely depend on the strength of Observation Haki on both sides.

But obviously Luffy with full speed in second gear failed to attack Hawkeye, which also proves that the current Luffy Observation Haki is not as good as Hawkeye. *
