Challenge Hawk Eyes

"Whether I have the ability or not, Moria, you'll find out for yourself by trying. But since Lord Sengoku approves of me, I think I should still have the ability!"

Indeed, this giant is the opponent that Straw Hat Luffy will encounter in the next sea.

Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability, with a bounty of 320 million Beli, Moria the Ghost!

"Hehehe, this is fun!"

Moria did not make a move because he had already sensed the powerful aura emanating from Ye Liangnai.

"Oh dear, it seems there's still one person who hasn't arrived yet!"

Ye Liangnai glanced at the faces of everyone present and said.

The World's Greatest Swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk!

The world's most beautiful woman, the Island Emperor of the Kuja Boa Hancock, Boa Hancock!

King of Dressrosa, Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo!

The taciturn and massive Tyrant Bear!

The restless and terrifying-looking Moria the Ghost!

And Ye Liangnai herself!

Six of the Shichibukai have arrived, only the last one Fisherman Jinbe, has yet to appear!

"It's alright, that person won't be coming, and he's already been stripped of his Shichibukai title!"

At that moment, a powerful and majestic voice came from the entrance.

Everyone looked over and saw Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Sengoku the Buddha walk in.

Behind him was a man who surprised even Ye Liangnai.

"Let me introduce you unruly fellows: Blackbeard Teach will succeed Fisherman Jinbe as the new Shichibukai!"

Yes, the man behind Sengoku who even surprised Ye Liangnai was none other than Blackbeard.

Seemingly noticing Ye Liangnai's gaze, Blackbeard immediately looked over, his eyes flashing with intense resentment.

"Yo, Blackbeard, we meet again."

"Looks like you're really lucky. You managed to escape and survive in that situation!"

Ye Liangnai greeted him with a smile.

But his words elicited different reactions from the people present.

Excitement, a sense of playfulness, like Doflamingo, Moria ...

Disgusting like Boa Hancock ...

Or perhaps astonished as the Sengoku, calm as the Tyrant Bear, Hawkeye Mihawk!

They probably never expected that Ye Liangnai would have any dealings with Blackbeard!

"Hehe, that's all thanks to you, 'Lightning Killer'! Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to capture that man so quickly and become Shichibukai!"

Blackbeard, as always, gave a strange laugh and sat down in his seat with a nonchalant air.

"Alright, let's start by explaining why we've gathered you all here!"

Sengoku approached the seven, his face extremely serious. "Blackbeard Teach has successfully captured Fire Fist Ace, the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Therefore, Marineford is about to face an unprecedented battle!"

"Therefore, we will declare war on Whitebeard, one of the Yonko!"

"And you will participate in this war as specially invited combat forces. Anyone who refuses to participate will be immediately stripped of their Shichibukai status!"

"Is there a problem, everyone?"

After hearing this, everyone except Ye Liangnai looked at Blackbeard with some surprise.

How did this guy manage to grab Fire Fist Ace?

He seems to be a formidable individual whose appearance doesn't lie!

"Hmm, interesting. Is such an intense battle about to begin?"

Doflamingo exclaimed excitedly, seemingly unafraid at all.

"Hehehe, there will definitely be lots of interesting corpses then!"

Moria was equally excited.

"A fight against Whitebeard? I'm really looking forward to it!" Ye Liangnai also showed an expectant look.

None of the others showed any sign of retreat.

Seeing this, Sengoku nodded, "Alright, then this matter is settled!"

"The war will officially begin in two weeks. Everyone, I hope you are mentally prepared!"

After discussing other war-related matters with Ye Liangnai and the other Shichibukai, the Shichibukai gathering came to an end.

"Hmm, 'Lightning Killer,' how about we team up and do something big together?"

After the meeting, Doflamingo looked at Ye Liangnai with a wary smile and asked.

"Sorry, not interested!"

Ye Liangnai directly rejected Doflamingo's request, instead turning to Hawkeye Mihawk and asking, "Would you like to fight me?"

As the World's Greatest Swordsman, Hawk Eyes is an opponent that every swordsman would want to challenge.

In Ye Liangnai's eyes, Hawk Eyes is a formidable opponent who can hone his swordsmanship skills.

Now that he'd met her, he definitely didn't want to let her go.

"Oh, you want to fight me?"

Hawk Eyes glanced at Ye Liangnai indifferently upon hearing this, "You have a lot of courage!"

"However, since you've extended such a warm invitation, I'll reluctantly agree to fight you. Where would you like to fight?"

Hawk Eyes looked at Ye Liangnai, a hint of fighting spirit also appearing in his eyes. Nai's swordsmanship skills are not low!

"Let's meet here at the Marineford Arena, Sengoku. I think you'll give me that kind of face!"

Ye Liangnai looked at Sengoku, who had also stayed behind to observe everything, and said.

"Certainly!"

Sengoku looked at Ye Liangnai, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

He really couldn't figure out Ye Liangnai.

This guy acts as he pleases. He's neither a pure pirate nor does he chase after the Pirate King or the One Piece. Yet, he's not the kind of person who could be recruited into the Navy, and he hasn't shown any spirit of protecting his territory.

In his opinion, only the Shichibukai are suitable for him!

Thank you!

Ye Liangnai thanked Sengoku very politely, and then the group went to the training ground.

To prevent damage from their battle, Sengoku specifically chose a spot where the walls were reinforced with Seastone.

Let's begin!

Hawk Eyes drew the black sword from his back, calmly and composedly signaling to Ye Liangnai that they could begin.

The training ground was surrounded by onlookers.

There are many vice admirals, as well as the Shichibukai, such as Doflamingo and Blackbeard.

"Then I'm coming!"

Ye Liangnai exuded an aura of terrifying ferocity and charged towards Hawk Eyes with a whoosh.

"So fast!"

The naval vice admirals couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as Ye Liangnai disappeared before their eyes like a ray of light.

"Bass!"

But this was nothing to Hawk Eyes. He swung his sword and slashed right where Ye Liangnai had appeared, colliding heavily with him.

"Not bad, a very powerful strike!"

Hawk Eyes praised, "However, that's not enough!"

With a raised arm, a powerful force sent Ye Liangnai flying backward, and then with a swing of his sword, a terrifying Sword Wave shot out, causing the surrounding environment to change color.
