The law of pirates

A certain sea area.

"Are you sure you want to get involved in this dispute?"

"Perhaps I should remind you that the red-haired pirates have been destroyed long ago, Shanks!"

Hawkeye looked at Shanks seriously.

This huge whirlpool has nothing to do with the red-haired pirates, and the Straw Hat boy is still alive and well.

As for Blackbeard,

Two years have passed since the incident between Whitebeard and "Fire Fist" Ace, and this was an internal conflict within the Whitebeard Pirates.

Could it be?

It seems like I thought of something.

"If it's just for the scar on your face, there's no need for you to have trouble with Blackbeard."

"After all, the Blackbeard Pirates have a large number of people, and you are alone now."

Alone!!!

Upon hearing Hawkeye's words, Shanks trembled violently and stared at the sky in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.

a long time,

Shanks took a deep breath and said, "Luffy has entered a new world. With Su Mu Qianhe's character, he won't take action so quickly."

"Now is the perfect time to deal with Blackbeard!"

He admitted that he made a mistake in judgment and underestimated the growth rate of the Qianhe Pirates.

I originally thought that Su Mu Qianhe was not a D, but at best he was just another Whitebeard. When Luffy entered the new world, the biggest trouble would be Blackbeard.

Unexpectedly…

In just one year, after the red-haired pirates were destroyed, the entire new world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Qianhe Pirates are the dominant family, but Blackbeard, the majestic royal family of D, is so suppressed that he can't even lift his head!

It seems that Beckman's guess has come true.

Even if he is not D, Su Mu Qianhe can become a chess player standing on the dome based on his personal strength alone!

In the face of absolute strength, this surging trend and the destiny that has flowed for hundreds of years have to give way.

"It seems that you have made up your mind." Seeing that Shanks did not waver at all, Hawkeye gently shook his head, "In that case, I will go with you."

When he was in the Shampoo Islands, if Shanks hadn't rescued him in time, even if he defeated Keiichi Sonobe, he would have spent the rest of his life in Impel Down.

after all,

At that time, he was unable to resist, and there were still many people in the navy watching him!

Even if it's a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, Hawkeye is fearless, let alone the Blackbeard Pirates?

He just hates doing useless work!

"Don't worry, we are not the only ones involved in this operation. The navy has sent Kizaru and Green Ox, as well as two general candidates, Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin."

"In order to eliminate the possibility of Tiqi and Su Mu Qianhe joining forces, in order to prevent the painful lessons in history from repeating themselves..."

"Now that things have happened, the world government has to take action!"

Shanks explained.

"Navy? Such a lineup..." Hawkeye's pupils shrank and his face was horrified.

You know,

Apart from Blackbeard, the entire Blackbeard Pirates Group only has two core cadres. They are simply killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

In addition, he didn't expect that Shanks' relationship with the World Government would be so close!

So,

When he saved himself...

"Don't underestimate the power of the royal family of D. The ultimate light gives birth to the ultimate darkness. When that bloodline is completely released, even I will have to stay away!"

"Ha! Just for a villain who was almost killed by the old and frail Whitebeard?"

"The reason why D is called the natural enemy of God is that its will itself is a 'demon', and the royal family among them are born with the ability to embody this will!"

"A power similar to Keiichi Sonobe's?"

"As expected, I can't hide it from you, but that guy Tiqi is much scarier than Keiichi Sonobe!"

Shanks nodded.

d and Tianlong, both possess extraordinary power. The difference is that one is reflected in blood and the other is in will.

From the effect point of view, D has greater potential than the Tianlong people, and the upper limit is also higher!

It is this embodied will that causes Blackbeard to never sleep, and even developed schizophrenia in his childhood.

And when he completely integrated this will, he himself became a different kind of 'devil'!

This power will affect the demons residing in the Devil Fruit and infiltrate their thinking, thus forming a strange balance.

The sign of awakening is the ability to hold a second Devil Fruit.

The sign of true maturity is when it contains the third or more Devil Fruits!

Obviously,

Blackbeard is no longer what he used to be.

"The earth trembles and the sky falls to the red earth. All demons are destroyed. Ragnarok!"

Sudden,

Hawkeye thought of this prophecy that was widely circulated within the Qianhe Pirates.

Demons are destroyed!

In other words, this devil does not simply represent Devil Fruit.

Another explanation is that in this era, the D clan will come to an end or lose the power of will.

In the same way, Ragnarok is not difficult to understand.

So what is the reason for the red soil sinking?

That's the Red Earth Continent. It's hard to imagine that anyone could destroy it!

"Mihawk, I know what you are thinking. This is one of the reasons why Captain Roger prevented Rocks from taking action against the Draco."

"Is it related to the Celestial Dragons?"

"That's right! The power of rules that exists in the bloodline of the Celestial Dragons is the same power that supports the Red Earth Continent."

How is that possible?!!

Hawkeye's eyes were full of disbelief.

Doesn't that mean that if all the Tianlong people are killed, the entire Red Earth Continent will also fall apart!

"Isn't it shocking? When I first learned the truth, I was also shocked!"

"I used to wonder why a huge kingdom that was beyond the norm and ruled the world was born when it was isolated by the sea!"

"After all, a kingdom that is comparable to the jurisdiction of the world government is a bit fanciful no matter how you look at it."

After a pause, Shanks continued:

"Except for a few insiders, I'm afraid no one can imagine that nine hundred years ago, the Red Earth Continent was the bottom of the sea!"

"And except for the current Red Earth Continent, all other areas are land."

"Perhaps only such a huge land mass can give birth to so many strange races!"

at the same time,

This is why d covers different races!

Once the Celestial Dragons are extinct, all the land and islands in this world will be submerged by the sea in an instant, and more than 90% of human beings will die in this unprecedented disaster.

No one knows when the land will lift up again and return to what it was like nine hundred years ago.

Maybe it's short, maybe it's long!

This is the carnival of land life and the end of marine life, but before that, it is the end of all land life.

"Why are you telling me this?"

After a long silence, Hawkeye asked.

If he was asked to protect the Celestial Dragons, Shanks might be overthinking it. Hawkeye would never forget his hometown——

Kingdom of Sitskeal!

All of this can be traced back to the day five hundred years ago when the navy issued an order to slay demons against the Kingdom of Sitskeal.

In order to protect himself, the king at that time spent a huge price to convince Oz, the "luck country", and quietly brought part of the territory and people to the foggy area of ​​​​the Magic Triangle!

Unfortunately,

This sea area has limited resources and is full of risks.

Over time, the number of citizens became fewer and fewer, and by Mihawk's generation there were very few left.

Although Duo has been surviving for hundreds of years, it is no different from the subjugation of the country!

As for the so-called Dark Kingdom, it was a name that came later and was also called by the outside world, and was not recognized by the remnants of the Kingdom of Sitskeal.

Shanks: "..."

As a confidant who is also a friend and foe, Shanks knows about Hawkeye's past, and he also knows how crazy Hawkeye was during the time when he became a "Navy Hunter".

If it hadn't been so long ago,

If he hadn't been tired of wandering around, he would have become the world's number one swordsman.

perhaps…

Hawkeye would not have accepted the invitation from the Shichibukai!

What's more, he is no longer a Shichibukai.

Thinking of this, the red-haired man shook his head to get rid of all the messy thoughts, and skillfully put his hand on Hawkeye's shoulder:

"Haha, aren't we friends?"

"One more person who understands the truth will have more security in the future. I believe in you!"

Hawkeye: "I don't need other people's trust."

Well?!!

Shanks was caught off guard and pointed at himself: "Me too?"

"Same!"

Hawkeye said with certainty, his face as indifferent as before, showing no hesitation at all.

Apart from the black sword ‘Ye’, he doesn’t need any other partners. Shanks can at most be regarded as a tool man to practice swordsmanship with!

"Why?" Shanks looked puzzled. Ever since the battle with Sobe Keiichi, he had a vague feeling that Hawkeye was a little different from before.

Even more cold!

"There will be no friends in this world who are completely honest with each other, and that naturally includes you and me."

"I don't know if we are friends, and I don't know if we will become enemies in the future, but I know that you have great ambitions!"

"I know…"

"The more grand the ideal, the more things will be sacrificed as a matter of course. On this premise, the so-called friendship becomes more fragile and cheap!"

Hawkeye knows very well that once his actions are contrary to Shanks' goals, the other party will raise the butcher's knife without hesitation.

He has his own demands and cannot always be consistent with Shanks!

"I see." Shanks understood clearly, "You want to say that even if you teach Sauron swordsmanship, it doesn't mean that you are on the same camp as us!"

"Shanks."

The corners of Hawkeye's mouth raised slightly, "No one will stand still. At this point, the most terrifying will in the sea can no longer affect me."

"The seed of recognition in my heart has also been killed!"

Scenes of scenes flashed through his mind:

'Flowers in the morning and sunset in the evening, life in the morning and death in the evening, life is just a dream, this life has finally come to an end.'

"Hawkeye Mihawk!"

'Failure will make your sword cry, don't... never lose to those thieves who steal the power of the world again!'

Sonobe Keiichi's words echoed in my ears like drums in the evening and bells in the morning.

This was Keiichi Sonobe’s gift before his death!

Although I don’t know what means the World Government used to save him later, but at that time, the other party definitely had the intention of dying.

"Mihawk, you..."

"I'm warning you, Shanks, don't try to challenge my bottom line. I never fight for anyone."

"Unless... you want to die!"

Rumble!!!

After speaking, a fierce and strange aura erupted from Hawkeye's body, which was completely different from his previous aura.

"Is this aura the first-generation Ghost?" Shanks opened his mouth, completely shocked.

No wonder,

No wonder there is always an indescribable weird feeling when Marie Joa and Sonobe Keiichi fight.

Also, the real reason why the first-generation Kitetsu, one of the supreme sharp swords, broke.

It seems that the sword spirit that resided in the first generation of ghosts was transferred to Hawkeye in a special state in some way at that time.

This is Keiichi Sonobe’s decision, and it is also the choice of the first generation Kitetsu!

"Sonbe Keiichi is dead, buried in the deep sea of ​​the Shampoo Islands with the glory of a swordsman!"

"He put everything on me..."

"I will keep going until the day I regain my throne as the world's greatest swordsman!"

Hawkeye said expressionlessly, scarlet ghost energy flowing around him, like Shura from hell.

No one can control him!

No matter in the past or in the future, he is just a swordsman pursuing the ultimate in swordsmanship, fighting only for himself.

This time, just to repay the favor,

Shanks' plan to draw him into the Straw Hat Gang, or Joey Boy's side, is doomed to fail.

"In the name of Joracol Mihawk!!!"
