Chapter 234 Hawkeye’s Pursuit (Ch 234)

The first half of the Grand Line, near the Gemini Capes.
A circular template is moving forward in the storm.
On the wooden board, a man in a black jacket and eagle eyes was rowing the boat hard.
“Damn it, why is there a storm all of a sudden?”
The man was Hawkeye. Encountering a storm, he was paddling his boat with Black Knife Night, trying to quickly get out of the sea filled with dark clouds.
Fortunately, the arm strength of the world’s number one swordsman is no joke. He rowed a small boat at the speed of a sea train. When he slowed down, he could see the sunny sea not far ahead, and there were only a few dark clouds left above his head.
“Admiral, there’s a weirdo paddling a small boat with a knife in front of us!”
“Huh? Are you kidding me? This is the Grand Line, how could such a person exist?”
The lookout’s words instantly exposed Click, who felt he was being played a trick on him.
“It’s true, Admiral. If you don’t believe me, check it out for yourself!”
The lookout hurried forward and respectfully handed over the telescope, and Click took it with a suspicious look on his face.
“Humph! If you dare to lie to me, I will feed you to the fish.”
This man is none other than Admiral Click from the East China Sea, the overlord of the East China Sea with a bounty of 17 million berries. With the ambition to conquer the sea, he led his own fleet of 50 pirate ships and nearly 5,000 subordinates over the Upside-Down Mountain and entered the Grand Line.
Click picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the lookout’s finger.
It was no big deal when they took a closer look. It was just as his men had said. A fool holding a long black knife was rowing the boat towards them.
“This Grand Line is really full of surprises, isn’t it? Listen to my orders, sink that idiot for me, as a good start for our journey on the Grand Line!”
“Yes, Admiral!”
Following Click’s order, artillery fire roared towards Hawkeye for dozens of seconds.
The sound of gunfire also attracted Mihawk who was trying to row out.
A pair of sharp eagle eyes raised, containing endless murderous intent.
You can attack me with cannons, but if you see me wielding the black knife, die!
The paddle was to hold the sword in one hand and swing it towards the huge fleet.
The green sword energy that was hundreds of meters long changed the color of the entire sea surface. Before Click and his minions could react to what was happening, dozens of pirate ships next to the main ship broke off from the center and sank into the sea.
Crick was stunned on the spot, and turned his head mechanically, only to see that Mihawk’s slash had split dozens of ships, leaving a deep gully on the sea surface behind, which could not be restored for a long time.
“Admiral, am I still asleep?”
Ajin couldn’t hide his surprise and looked at his captain with disbelief.
Click swallowed hard and looked at the sword-wielding man in the boat again as if he had seen a ghost.
“Is this… the Grand Line?”
As soon as the sigh died down, Hawkeye swung out another slash, and several more pirate ships were split in two and sank into the sea.
At this time, Hawkeye’s ship was getting closer, and Click finally saw the man’s face clearly.
“King…Shichibukai, Hawkeye Mihawk?”
As a man determined to conquer the sea, he certainly had some understanding of the forces of all parties before coming to the Grand Line.
I didn’t expect that I would encounter such a creature as soon as I entered the sea.
“Fire at full power and sink him!”
After all, they were visitors from the East China Sea who had never seen the world. After a brief surprise, Click still gave the order to open fire. He didn’t think that with his own army of thousands of people, they would be no match for a mere one man from the other side.
“Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”
Dozens of pirate ships opened fire at the same time. For a moment, the scene was extremely spectacular. Thousands of shells formed an impenetrable steel net and covered Hawkeye on the small boat.
There was a hint of excitement in the ferocious look on Click’s face.
“I don’t believe I can’t kill you even with this, so what about Shichibukai?”
Imagination is rich, but reality is cruel. The black knife Night in Mihawk’s hand waved like a pitch-black electric fan.
The sword energy, like a hurricane, instantly crushed the shells in the air, and explosions sounded one after another on the sea.
Before Click and his crew could launch the next round of artillery fire, several hundred-meter-long sword energies flew over, destroying dozens of pirate ships.
“Admiral!”
Akin called out to his captain with a grim look on his face. As the captain of the Click Pirates, he was already scared out of his wits.
Mihawk’s strength was not even human in his opinion.
“Turn around, turn around quickly, let’s retreat back to the East China Sea!”
Click finally woke up from his dream. No matter how big his ambition was, it was not as important as his life.
……………..
Seven days later.
East China Sea, Barati, the sea restaurant.
Luffy, who had eaten a free meal, was washing dishes in the restaurant’s kitchen.
“Hey, how many dishes do you have to wash before you let me go?”
“Work hard, and half a year will be enough.”
“Oh, half a year…what did you say?”
Luffy stared at Paddy in front of him with wide eyes, thinking that his brain was broken, as he had only eaten a few plates of meat.
After a long time, Luffy dropped the plate and ran to the deck, where Zoro and Usopp were cleaning the floor.
“Zoro, Usopp, let’s run! They said we have to work for half a year before they let us go.”
“Nani!”
Zoro and Usopp thought they were just finishing up for today, so upon hearing that, they immediately dropped their mops and rags and rushed towards the direction where the Merry was docked.
But when they arrived at the mooring point, there was no sign of the Merry. Looking around, they found that their own ship had already sailed far away.
“Bye, I’ll take this ship!”
“What are you doing! Bitch!”
Zoro immediately drew out the three swords from his waist, looking as if he was going to chop Nami to death, but he had not yet reached the level of releasing sword energy, so naturally he could do nothing to Nami who had already gone far away.
Just as the three of them were holding their heads and wailing, a group of chefs slowly appeared behind them, with demonic flames on their bodies.
The three of them swallowed together and looked back mechanically.
“You…want to escape, right?”
………….
“Zoro, Usopp, please think of a solution. I don’t want to work for half a year.”
While mopping the floor, Luffy looked at his fellow sufferer with a sad face.
“Who is to blame for this?”
Zoro, who was already depressed, suddenly got angry when he heard Luffy’s words and started yelling at him.
“Stop talking nonsense and think of a solution!”
“How should I know what to do?”
Just as the two were arguing, a dilapidated large ship stopped in front of the sea restaurant. Admiral Click, wearing golden armor, came to the terrace weakly with the support of Ajin.
“Please…please, give…give me some food.”
When the chefs in the restaurant saw the boat approaching, they thought it was an important customer. Several of them came out to greet them, only to find the half-dead Click begging.
“This is Admiral Klick, with a bounty of 17 million berries. He is an extremely cruel person.”
One of the chefs recognized him and told him his identity directly.
Hearing this, everyone became alert.
