"Eagle eyes?"
A man that Gawain had mentioned suddenly emerged in Buchi's mind.
"Hawk Eyes?"
"The man who is known as the world's number one swordsman? The guy that Zoro talks about every day?"
After speaking, a trace of solemnity appeared on Buchi's face, then he turned to look at Sham and said: "If it really is that guy, then I guess no one except the captain can be his opponent."
Sham was slightly stunned, then waved his hand casually: "Didn't the captain say that Hawk Eyes is a top-notch pirate even in the New World? How could he come to the East Blue, which is recognized as the weakest sea?"
"Maybe they just share the same characteristics."
"After all, there are many people in this world who look similar. Isn't the captain and that actor..."
"Hehehe."
Buchi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "It must be a misunderstanding."
Buchi picked up the receiver and said to the pirate over there: "Just keep an eye on it. Sham and I will be there soon."
"We have been searching for this target for more than a month. Once we are sure, I will inform the captain!"
"Understood!"
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi,
Buchi hurriedly stuffed a few pieces of cake into his mouth, gave the remaining cookies to the children around him, and then left with Sham.
The pirate ship in the harbor set sail a few minutes later and sped towards the location of the Baratie.
… … …
A few hours later, dozens of miles away from Raven Harbor.
A pirate ship that was broken in the middle slowly sank into the water, and the skull flag with a round shield underneath was gradually swallowed up by the sea.
The ocean-going restaurant, Baratie, is floating quietly on the sea not far away.
In the kitchen, a group of chefs came and went, serving exquisite dishes to the table just to entertain the only guest.
"How could we encounter such a big shot?"
"That's Hawk Eyes, the man known as the world's strongest swordsman and one of the seven warlords of the sea who holds the plundering license from the World Government!"
"Even Mr. Zeff broke out in a cold sweat when he saw that guy."
"But fortunately, the enemy's target is the White Knight Pirate, not us."
Between his words, Chef Patty, who looks like Popeye, with a rough face and a pink scarf tied around his chest, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and looked into the dining area with lingering fear.
A man wearing a black felt hat and with a stern face was eating the exquisite dishes on the table in an orderly manner.
His movements were extremely graceful, yet his eating speed was frighteningly fast.
In just half an hour, the dishes on the table that had not been processed had piled up into a small mountain, but the man showed no intention of stopping.
Only when the people in the kitchen were so tired that they could not even straighten their backs did the man stop what he was doing and wipe his mouth gracefully.
The man was naturally Hawk Eyes, who had fought his way from the New World to the East Blue, and he had only one purpose for this trip.
"Are you from the White Knight Pirate?"
His sharp eyes, like an eagle's, fell on the bruised and battered Nyaban Brothers standing beside him.
The two of them stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, simply because the shock they felt from the man in front of them was too strong.
While they were several kilometers away, a green light cut their ship in half, and the remaining force did not even decrease; it flew all the way to the end of their sight.
The battle was over before the Nyaban Brothers even had time to react. Fortunately, there were no casualties on the ship.
In the impression of the Nyaban Brothers, even Gawain, who is as strong as a monster, cannot do such a thing!
Seeing the two people talking incoherently, Hawk Eyes gradually lost his patience.
He took out a big black sword shaped like a cross from behind him, put the blade against Sham's neck, and said calmly: "If you want to live, tell me where Gawain is now!"
"I…"
Sham couldn't help trembling all over; he didn't want to betray Gawain and said with difficulty:
"Even if you kill me, don't even think about getting any information about my captain from me!"
"Interesting!"
"It's not just that bloodthirsty look in his eyes; he can also make his subordinates loyal. My interest in this man is growing!"
Hawk Eyes smiled slightly, then turned to look at Buchi beside him and said calmly: "I'm giving you two choices now. Either watch your companions fall here or pass the message to Gawain and ask him to come and see me!"
"I..."
"Buchi!"
Sham turned to look at his hesitant brother and said loudly: "Don't forget who gave you the chance to live again. You can't betray that man even if you die!"
"It doesn't matter if people like us die here. We can just consider it as paying off the debt we owed."
"But he is different, he is going to lead everyone—"
Sham's growing excitement was interrupted by Hawk Eyes's blade, which moved an inch closer, and scarlet blood flowed from his neck.
He held his breath for a moment because if the blade on his neck was an inch deeper, it would cut his artery.
"Stop!"
Buchi quickly spoke up to stop Hawk Eyes's actions: "I'll ask the captain to come here!"
Hawk Eyes stopped what he was doing.
With trembling arms, Buchi took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms, hesitated for a moment, and dialed a familiar number.
If Hawk Eyes's sword had been placed on his neck, he might have been able to hold on, but he could not accept watching Sham die with his own eyes.
Soon, a familiar voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "Moshi Moshi."
"Buchi, have you found the target?"
Hawk Eyes took the Den Den Mushi from Buchi's hand and said calmly: "If you want your men to survive, come to Baratie to meet me. The coordinates are..."
At the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Gawain's face suddenly turned gloomy.
Today, the White Knight Pirate almost dominates the East Blue.
Apart from the Marines, no other force should dare to attack his own people. Even if the Marines attack him, it should not be in this style.
Besides, it is still unclear whether there are any Marines in the East Blue that dare to attack his own people.
Then there is only one answer…
"Pirates from the Grand Line?"
"I don't remember ever offending the pirates there in any way."
"Who are you?"
Hawk Eyes said calmly: "Just a somewhat bored swordsman who enjoys watching new seeds sprout."
"I accidentally saw some pretty good seeds in the East Blue, and I am looking forward to what kind of flowers they will eventually bloom into."
A figure flashed through Gawain's mind: "Hawk Eyes?!"
"Acute perception."
Hawk Eyes slowly retracted the black sword, and for a moment, his interest in Gawain became even stronger: "From now on, before sunset tomorrow afternoon, if you can't make it, then your subordinates who are unwilling to betray you will be buried in the sea."
"Beep!"
Gawain looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, which was gradually losing its power, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.
He didn't know much about Hawk Eyes's temper.
All he knows is that this is a man who would kill his way through a fleet of 5,000 people just because his nap was disturbed and even chased them all the way from the Grand Line to the East Blue.
"This time, I'm in big trouble..."
"What kind of rotten mouth do I have?"
