The Pirate Garen

"You want to leave?"

Galen's face changed slightly.

"certainly."

Mihawk just glanced at Galen with sharp eyes, and seemed to see through him:

"I'm not interested in getting involved in the grievances between you and the sand crocodile."

"you"

Galen couldn't help showing an awkward smile:

"Aren't you going to practice swordsmanship any more?"

Mihawk was silent for a while, and then sighed softly after a while:

"Your fruit ability is really strange."

"I think I have broken my limit a little these days, but I still have nothing to do with your sword style."

"That"

Galen opened his mouth to persuade Hawkeye to stay, but Mihawk immediately continued to speak:

"So, that's enough."

A high-spirited fighting spirit and a fearless pride suddenly burst out from Mihawk's eagle-like sharp pupils:

"Knowing that there are still things in this world that I can't cut open, that's enough."

Mihawk has stood at the pinnacle of the swordsman for so many years that he has almost forgotten what it feels like when the blade is blocked by someone.

As a result, his swordsmanship has stagnated, stopping at the highest peak known to mankind.

After knowing that there is an indestructible "strongest shield" in the world, Hawkeye's "strongest spear" can also be sharpened.

Mihawk said to Galen again:

"I'll come back for you."

"At that time, I will definitely cut your big sword open."

"Ha ha."

Galen laughed twice, and said as if joking:

"Aren't you worried that when you come back to find me, I'll be thrown in the rainy port to feed the fish?"

It seems that because he found something of interest, Mihawk, who was always as cold as a sword, also became a little talkative.

After hearing Galen's words, Mihawk said indifferently:

"If you don't even have the ability to protect yourself from the sand crocodiles, you probably wouldn't dare to come here from the East China Sea."

Galen nodded slightly, with a somewhat confident smile on his face.

Judging from Crocodile's combat performance in his memory, he really doesn't have to be afraid of the sand crocodile who is not aggressive and whose fruit ability can splash water.

"and"

Mihawk looked at Galen coldly again:

"After I leave, you are not allowed to escape."

"If you don't even have the courage to swing a sword at the strong, then living is a waste of your ability, and it's an insult to my expectations of you."

There was a touch of killing intent in Mihawk's voice, and his eyes became full of menace:

"Remember what I taught you these days?"

"Remember, remember!"

Galen nodded hurriedly.

That was Eagle-eyed Mihawk's swordsmanship instructor, and he naturally remembered it as a treasure, and even recorded it in the same notebook as Professor Garp's "shaved" and "moon steps".

The martial arts cheats in the One Piece world were born from Galen's hands.

I don't know why, after seeing the real swordsmanship of the "one-way swordsman" Galen, the eagle-eyed Mihawk not only didn't chop him into pieces in anger, but took the initiative to cut the flying sword that the swordsman could use. All the sword fighting skills and some fencing theories he summed up were passed on to Galen.

Galen's physical strength has already caught up with the realm of ordinary swordsmen. After Hawkeye's hands-on guidance, he has mastered the flying and slashing skills in just a few days. The fierce sword spirit.

Galen never understood Hawkeye's intentions, but was grateful for his teaching.

At this moment of parting, Galen finally respectfully said that from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you!"

"no need to thank me."

Hawkeye categorically rejected Galen's thanks, and the coldness in his voice didn't melt away at all:

"You're a 'sword hero' that doesn't live up to your name. You're just a third-rate guy who has become famous for his fruit ability."

"What I hate the most in my life is a swordsman like you who relies on fruit power and forgets the blade itself!"

Hawkeye's words were very sharp, and that cold tone made Galen feel the urge to turn around and run away.

"but."

Mihawk sighed softly again:

"I really didn't expect that there are devil fruits like you in the world."

"Incomparable control over the blade, this is the ability that countless great swordsmen dream of."

Killing people is killing people, and the way of swordsmanship is not so mysterious.

The story of a certain great swordsman who had a flash of inspiration in his mind and suddenly realized it, so that his swordsmanship became super god and invincible has always been just a story.

And things like sword intent, sword soul, and sword spirit are all just products of the imagination of some troublemakers.

Most of the people who tell these fantasy stories are not swordsmen.

The power of swordsmanship is determined by nothing more than the swordsman's own power base and the swordsman's precise control of power.

One's own strength can be continuously improved through hard training, and what is even more difficult is the control of one's own strength.

Only with sufficient control can one grasp the shape and power of the slash.

And those who can maximize the form and power of slashing are the great swordsmen that people need to look up to.

At the beginning, Da Siqi paid more attention to Galen's singular ability to hit every sword, but what moved Hawkeye Mihawk was Galen's control over power.

Because of the digitized body, Galen is like an extremely precise instrument, able to precisely control the output between 0 and the threshold.

If you strike with all your strength, you can break mountains and break rocks; if you control it carefully, you can not hurt a single bit.

This is nothing in the eyes of Galen, who is already used to this kind of control ability, but in the eyes of the great swordsman Mihawk, this is the superb control ability like a dog dispelling an ox.

Hawkeye has practiced swordsmanship for many years, and after countless battles and pains of practice, he has exercised this unparalleled absolute control;

But Galen, a half-baked swordsman, possessed this ability at a very young age by relying on the so-called fruit ability.

"This is the most suitable devil fruit for swordsmen, and it is the dream ability of countless swordsmen!"

Hawkeye sent out such emotion directly in front of Galen:

"As long as you practice swordsmanship with your heart, becoming a great swordsman that is difficult for ordinary people is nothing but a matter of course."

"Don't waste it!"

Mihawk's eyes were filled with anticipation, and he finally revealed his true purpose:

"I teach you the knowledge of kendo so that you can use your talent as much as possible!"

"Grow up quickly, then"

A flame suddenly flashed in Mihawk's amber pupils, which was the passion he hadn't burned for a long time:

"Become my opponent!!"

Galen, who was complacent just by mastering Flying Slash, never expected that Hawkeye had such lofty expectations for him.

"I"

Galen's voice was stuck in his throat, but a surge of pride was burning in his chest.

Unlike the previous pretending, Galen yelled three big words with the most authentic voice:

"I will!"

"hope so."

After mobilizing Galen's emotions, Hawkeye himself quickly returned to his usual ice-like indifference.

He lightly pressed his broad brim and turned around slowly, leaving behind a sharp gaze that hit people's hearts directly:

"otherwise."

"I will kill you with my own hands."

With that said, Hawkeye finally took the step of leaving, leaving a chic and domineering back for Galen and others.

Just like an eagle spreading its wings to return to the sky, people can only look up on the ground.

Rainfeast Casino, Crocodile's office.

"Hawkeye left."

Robin dutifully reported the latest information to his boss:

"It seems that Lord Shichibukai doesn't want to get involved in the grievances between us and Galen."

"kindness."

Crocodile nodded lightly and stopped talking, but the thick cigar smoke that kept spewing from his mouth secretly expressed his still gloomy mood.

Robin frowned slightly, and asked with some puzzlement:

"You seem a little unhappy?"

Crocodile fell silent.

Robin, who has always been able to read people's hearts, suddenly couldn't read the boss's mind, which made her feel a little less safe who had been living under the fence.

So, Robin tried again:

"The other party's biggest support is gone, do we still need to negotiate terms with him?"

Robin is well aware of Crocodile's character:

Greedy, tyrannical, self-important.

For him, sitting at the negotiating table with an opponent and negotiating conditions is an unbearable humiliation;

"I want it all" is his consistent style.

Crocodile still didn't speak, he just suddenly recalled the grand scene of Hawkeye and Galen's swordsmanship training in his mind.

Then, Crocodile said with a gloomy expression:

"Let's talk about it first"
