Under Ace's vigorous rowing, the Welfare finally reached the shore of the Thunder God Island.
Sigo took the lead to walk into the island. As always, both sides were full of people, making way for them.
Hawkeye has been waiting for a long time. Since he arrived here, he has been standing there without moving.
Even the arrival of Sigo didn't cause any change in Hawkeye.
He still stood there, looking at the position in front of him.
It wasn't until Sigo slowly walked over and completely merged with the position he was looking at that Hawkeye finally reacted.
"You're here."
It was an extremely plain sentence.
"Long wait."
Sigo also returned a dull sentence.
Hawkeye's mouth had a smile that Sigo couldn't see through: "I have indeed waited for a long time."
Sigo certainly knew that Hawkeye was not talking about today's wait, but waiting before today's arrival.
Sigo and Hawkeye met for the first time at the seaside outside Robb Village, the hometown of the East China Sea Usopp.
Although Hawkeye was standing on the boat and Sigo was standing on the high ground on the shore.
At that time, Hawkeye said that he wanted to compare notes with Sigo.
But at that time, Sigo was just strong in appearance.
It was because he had obtained the maximum level of Six Knife Stream. Although he couldn't use it at will, Hawkeye had already seen Sigo's hidden strength with his eyes.
Then came the Battle of the Summit.
Hawkeye had been looking for an opportunity to challenge Sigo, but the Battle of the Summit was not a suitable place for a duel.
Last time, Hawkeye wanted to duel with Sigo for the third time. It was when Sigo and others reunited in the Sabaody Archipelago.
At that time, although the duel didn't succeed, Sigo clearly promised to duel with him for the first time.
Until now, this was the fourth time.
And the time span was nearly three years.
"It's finally here, isn't it?" Sigo said and looked at Night behind Hawkeye.
Even the onlookers could sense that Hawkeye was different today, so of course Sigo had noticed it long ago.
Today, Hawkeye didn't have the aura of a swordsman.
He had completely concealed his aura.
He didn't know if it was because of his aura, but even the Black Blade, Night, which he never used to cover, was completely covered.
And from the looks of it, it wasn't something that had happened overnight.
Sometimes, hiding one's edge was far more terrifying than showing off one's edge.
Because once the sharpness was released, no one knew how terrifying it would be.
"Looks like you've prepared well for this duel."
Hawkeye slowly grasped Night from his back: "Yes, it's enough. I've been preparing for it since the last time we met."
"In this one year, I have never drawn a sword, nor touched a blade."
"For this duel, I sealed my power, sealed my Black Blade – Night, sealed myself, and even sealed my past."
Hawkeye's calm voice made Sigo even more surprised.
This person …
Terrifying!
"So, this time you're going to release everything to fight with me?" Sigo was shocked, and even his voice couldn't help but lower.
"That's right!"
Hawkeye's voice suddenly became louder, and at the same time, his right hand suddenly clenched.
"Chi!"
He didn't make any movement, but a terrifying cutting wave suddenly appeared from the tip of the Black Blade, piercing through the incomparably hard Thunder God Island.
"Gurgle gurgle ~"
On the surface of the sea outside the Thunder God Island, a huge fish that was dozens of meters long floated out of the sea, and on the body of the fish, there was a penetrating wound.
Hawkeye's cutting wave actually pierced through the huge Thunder God Island!
The most important thing was that he didn't make any movement at all!
Hawkeye didn't look at Sigo, but at the tip of the Black Blade.
"This sword is my sword when I was ten years old. When I was ten years old, it was the first time I held a sword."
"This move, I call it Birth!"
"Birth, good move!" Sigo praised.
This move alone was something that most people couldn't achieve in their whole life.
But for Hawkeye, it was just his weakest move.
The only thing that Sigo was confused about was when he was ten years old.
It wasn't too early, but too late.
He thought that a man like Hawkeye was born with a sword in his arms.
"Buzz!"
Hawkeye slowly raised his right arm, and without any fancy moves, he cut out the sword.
As he cut out the sword, the bandage near the tip of the blade quietly dispersed.
In the face of Hawkeye's attack, Sigo stretched out his hand, and the crutch sword appeared in his hand.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal colliding came out, and Sigo intercepted the attack.
Sigo frowned.
There were too many techniques in this slash, but they were all fancy and not worth pondering over.
It was obvious that Hawkeye had just learned swordsmanship, and he had some foundation, but he hadn't mastered it yet.
But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Sigo felt the killing intent and helplessness in this attack.
"This is my sword when I was thirteen years old. When I was thirteen years old, it was the first time I killed someone."
"This move, I call it Death!"
Hawkeye really integrated his whole life into swordsmanship.
When he was thirteen years old, he killed for the first time, and Sigo was sure that it wasn't as simple as killing one or two people.
What happened that made a thirteen year old kid who had just learned swordsmanship for three years, and who was just laying the foundation, had no choice but to raise his sword to kill people?
But what happened next made Sigo even more shocked.
As Hawkeye swung his sword again, another bandage on Black Blade – Night was cut open, revealing more of the blade.
And this attack, before it came close, Sigo had already felt the strong smell of blood.
He had never felt this kind of aura from Hawkeye before, and now Hawkeye was like a different person to Sigo.
In the past, Hawkeye was dignified, but now he was like a murderous monster.
"This is my sword when I was fifteen years old. When I was fifteen years old, I killed more than a thousand people."
"This move, I call it Slaughter!"
Slaughter, it was a very appropriate name.
It was hard to imagine that Hawkeye had such a past.
He killed for the first time when he was thirteen, and by the time he was fifteen, he had already killed over a thousand people!
Not only was Sigo shocked, but everyone was frightened by Hawkeye's appearance at this time.
Only Shanks in the distance sighed helplessly: "Are you really going to tell us everything …"
Although this sword was far more powerful than the previous one, it still couldn't shake Sigo.
But the information contained in this sword made Sigo shocked.
He had always thought that Hawkeye was a noble who was born in a good family, and that was exactly what he had always been.
But now Sigo knew that he had experienced so much.
At the age of fifteen, he killed more than a thousand people. If he was an inhumane executioner, then what kind of environment could create such a terrible situation?
