Going legit?

With Buggy's urgent command, the Pirates scattered and fled, and the entire island instantly became empty and silent, leaving only Haku and Hawk Eyes, and the lingering aftershocks of their sword energy around them.

Haku and Hawk Eyes exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with an even fiercer fighting spirit. They knew the real contest had only just begun.

"Dracule Mihawk, your swordsmanship is indeed as renowned as it is." Haku's voice was deep and powerful, Ryujin Jakka in his hand began to hum, as if the Ryujin Jakka itself was urging Haku to defeat his opponent.

"Haku, your Zanpakuto has truly impressed me," Hawk Eyes replied. His Black Blade: Night, gleamed even more coldly and sharply under the moonlight, as if it could cleave through everything in the world.

The two launched their attack simultaneously again, but this time, they were not just testing the waters; they were going all out.

Haku moved with lightning speed, like a fiery sprite. Ryujin Jakka transformed into countless slashes in his hands, instantly weaving into a massive sword net that swept towards Hawk Eyes.

Hawk Eyes, however, moved with ghostly speed through the sword net. Black Blade: Night seemed to come alive in his hands, each swing accompanied by a sharp aura, slicing through the sword net one by one.

At the same time, he was also looking for Haku's weaknesses, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

The battle between the two intensified, with two flashes of light, one red and one black, intertwining and shaking the entire island. The earth trembled and the seawater boiled.

Their swordsmanship had reached a level of consummate skill, with every move and stance containing boundless power and wisdom.

In this battle, Haku and Hawk Eyes were not only competing in swordsmanship, but also exchanging the true essence of Swordsmanship.

Through their swordplay, they sensed each other's understanding and pursuit of the Swordsmanship, and drew new inspiration and strength from it.

As time went on, the battle between the two gradually intensified. Haku's Ryujin Jakka increasingly ferocious, as if it wanted to burn the entire island to ashes!

Hawk Eyes's Black Blade: Night was even more formidable, each swing seemingly capable of cleaving through space.

Just as the battle reached its climax, Haku suddenly retreated, dodging Hawk Eyes's slash that seemed to tear the air apart. As he panted, a smile played on his lips, "Hawk Eyes, for a swordsman, a sword is not merely a weapon, but an extension of his soul. Your sword is incomparably sharp, yet it seems to lack a certain warmth."

Upon hearing this, Hawk Eyes's eyes flickered slightly. Black Blade: Night slowly lowered, and he said in a deep voice, "Temperature? On the path of Swordsmanship, I pursue ultimate sharpness and precision; any superfluous emotion is a burden. But today, your sword has shown me a different possibility."

Haku nodded, a thick layer of domineering Haki covering the Ryujin Jakka blade. "The pinnacle of swordsmanship may not be solely about coldness and ruthlessness. My sword originates from my heart! It gives my sword life and endows me with the power to overcome all."

After speaking, Haku launched another attack. This time, his swordplay incorporated more emotion and variation. His Ryujin Jakka swordsmanship seemed to have a spirit, sometimes as fierce as a storm, and sometimes as gentle as a flowing stream, making it unpredictable.

Seeing this, Hawk Eyes's eyes flashed with admiration. He held back no longer, and Black Blade: Night danced in his hands with impenetrable speed. Each swing was accompanied by a slight distortion of space, demonstrating his ultimate understanding and mastery of Swordsmanship.

"Alright! Haku, let me see if your Swordsmanship can truly ignite my sword heart!" Hawk Eyes roared, his figure leaping up, and he and Haku once again engaged in fierce combat.

The two sword techniques became faster and more frequent, and the two beams of light, one red and one black, almost merged into one, enveloping the entire island in a storm of sword energy.

"The sword is for protection, and also for conquest," Haku said during a break in the exchange, his eyes resolute and burning. "I use it to protect everything I cherish, and I use it to conquer the obstacles that stand in my way."

Haku's Conqueror's Haki was subtly surging, as if it were there specifically to highlight Haku power as the ruler of the seas!

"The sword is solitude, but also the source of power," Hawk Eyes responded, his voice calm and profound. "On this path of Swordsmanship, I walk alone, but my sword is my most loyal companion."

As the conversation deepened, their battle reached an unprecedented climax.

They were not only competing in swordsmanship, but also exploring the profound connection between the sword and the swordsman, as well as the philosophy and wisdom contained in the way of the Swordsmanship.

Finally, after a fierce clash, the two sheathed their swords simultaneously, exchanged a smile, and knew that this battle had no winner or loser, only a shared pursuit and understanding of the way of the Swordsmanship.

"Looking forward to seeing you again, Haku." Hawk Eyes turned and left.

It's rare for Haku to achieve a draw with a strong competitor in a certain field!

When facing Hawk Eyes, a pure swordsman, Haku did not use any of her other abilities.

If you use Shikai, Bankai, or other similar powers.

Haku could easily defeat Hawk Eyes anytime!

Even without using his full strength, Haku still managed to hold his own against Hawk Eyes!

However, Haku knew that he hadn't fully forced Hawk Eyes to use his full strength!

The fight between the two just now did not reach the point of a life-or-death struggle.

If the two sides were to use all their strength to fight each other.

No doubt Haku will win! But Hawk Eyes at full power won't let Haku win so easily!

As Hawk Eyes left, Haku vanished from her spot in an instant.

The next instant, he appeared in front of Crocodile and Buggy.

Seeing the two tense and wary individuals, Haku said to them, "Logically speaking, I should eliminate you to clear a path for Luffy to obtain ONE PIECE."

"However! I've changed my mind now. After overthrowing the World Government, I will focus on purging the Sea!"

"I'm staying with you mainly to give that brat Luffy some better training! Once I start purging the Pirates, you'll have no choice but to disband the entire Cross Guild, or you'll be my first target! Understand?"

"Damn it! We're Pirates! What are we supposed to do if you tell us not to be Pirates?" Buggy couldn't sit still when he heard that Haku Future wanted to disband the Cross Guild.

He even boldly suppressed his fear and refuted Haku's words.

Buggy regretted his words immediately after speaking, but Haku didn't seem to care.

He said, "Isn't your Buggy's Delivery doing pretty well?"

Crocodile interrupted Buggy, realizing he understood.

Haku is showing them the way to clear their names!
