Chapter 591
"Boom..."
The two men's strikes collided on the sea, creating a huge shockwave. The sea surface seemed to explode like TNT, with waves rolling and the ship rocking violently.
"Bang...!"
Amidst the exploding water, Chen Fan's slash didn't stop; instead, it shattered Hawk Eyes's attack and continued charging towards him. Hawk Eyes's sharp, eagle-like pupils contracted rapidly, and his sword moved swiftly, blocking Chen Fan's slash. However, this caused Hawkeye to be deeply shaken, and he remained motionless for a moment.
Nami was inside the cabin when she suddenly heard a huge explosion and the ship was shaking. She quickly ran out. Could it be that the Navy was chasing Chen Fan? After all, Chen Fan was now Great Pirate with a bounty of 30 million.
"What's wrong! What happened?" Nami asked Chen Fan;
Chen Fan waved his hand at Nami and said, "It's nothing, just ran into a lunatic."
Suddenly, another slash flew towards Chen Fan. Chen Fan frowned, swung his sword again, and shattered Hawkeye Mihawk's slash. But soon, several more slashes flew towards him.
"Damn it! How dare you be so reckless!" Chen Fan said, quickly swinging his sword to block all of Mihawk's attacks. Then he launched several slashes at Mihawk. Chen Fan had been using a sword for over a hundred years. Even if Hawk Eyes was a genius, he couldn't surpass Chen Fan in swordsmanship without such a long period of accumulation.
Chapter 140 Hawk Eyes 2
(Chapter 140 Hawk Eyes 2)
The sea had become the dueling arena for Hawkeye Mihawk and Chen Fan. Sword energy flew wildly, the sea surface was constantly shattered, then healed, then shattered again. Nami stared at Chen Fan with her mouth agape. Although she hadn't quite understood things at first, she hadn't expected Chen Fan Chen Fan to be so strong. If that was really the case, Chen Fan might be able to defeat Arlong, the pirate who had killed her most important family member when she was young.
"Boom...!" Another slash collided with the sea surface, causing the ship to rock violently. Nami, lost in thought, lost her grip on the railing and was flung into the air. Chen Fan saw her disappear from her spot in an instant, without making a sound. It was the Silent Step he had stolen from Captain Kuro yesterday. He reached out and grabbed Nami's waist, quickly stepping back onto the ship in mid-air.
"Nami, hold on tight, don't fall! I'm going to deal with this bastard!" Chen Fan said, lightly tapping the boat with his foot. "...!" The boat quickly moved backward, away from the battlefield.
Chen Fan appeared on the sea, standing in front of Hawk Eyes. "Trying to stage an accident? You bastard! The government is protecting the vulnerable, but this is my private boat, you uninsured idiot! Didn't you see there are ladies on board? And what's wrong with you? What did we do to you that you're biting people like this? Are you sick? If you are, go home and take your medicine. If you infect someone else, that's a serious crime!" Chen Fan unleashed a torrent of abuse at Hawkeye Mihawk. This bastard, Chen Fan had already calculated that the final strike of that attack was aimed at the side of the boat.
As a result, Chen Fan's large ship was mostly unharmed, at most it swayed a bit to clear the way. But Chen Fan was no pushover; he wasn't about to be intimidated for no reason. He directly shattered Hawk Eyes's slash, adding a bit of force as he did so, and even managed to launch an attack on Hawk Eyes after shattering it.
"Name?" Hawk Eyes ignored Chen Fan's rant, which sounded like a shrew's rant, and instead stared intently at Chen Fan before speaking.
Chen Fan was slightly taken aback when he saw Hawk Eyes's eyes. They really did look like an eagle's, very Haki. He carefully examined Hawk Eyes: sharp yellow pupils like an eagle, a short beard, a black top hat adorned with white fur, a burgundy patterned shirt and black vest, and black trousers.
Looking at himself again, he saw a black suit and black leather shoes that he couldn't tell were cheap or expensive. He was already at a disadvantage in terms of presence, especially compared to Hawk Eyes's big knife, which looked really cool.
As Chen Fan stroked his chin and sized up Hawk Eyes was also sizing up Chen Fan. After exchanging a few blows with Chen Fan, he discovered that Chen Fan's swordsmanship was extremely high. Although he hadn't used his full strength, he had never heard of anyone with such strong swordsmanship as Chen Fan. As the World's Strongest swordsman, Hawk Eyes wasn't blindly believing that he was the World's Strongest and neglecting to train.
Because of his title as the World's Strongest swordsman, he trained even harder and gained a general understanding of some of the world's most famous swordsmen, but he had never heard of someone like Chen Fan before.
He held a white Bone Blade, which appeared to be made of fish bone and was crudely crafted. There were no Bone Blade among the Supreme Twelve Great Swords, not even among the Great Grade Sword, and it was a pair of two, so it wasn't a Famous Sword. However, the white blade had no handguard, which meant that this sword was specifically designed for attack. This kind of design would require the owner to have sufficient strength and confidence.
Nami watched as the two who had been locked in a fierce battle suddenly fell silent, wondering what had happened. She also wondered who the people on the small boat were—were they Marines? They didn't seem like it.
"Who are you? Why have I never heard of you possessing such powerful swordsmanship?" Hawkeye Mihawk asked Chen Fan.
Chen Fan pointed to himself and said, "Me? A nobody. You don't need to know who I am. You did that to my ship, so you'd better hand over a total of one hundred million Beli for emotional distress!"
"Pirates, huh!" Hawk Eyes said calmly.
"Hey! Don't try to shift the blame first! You started it. While a fight is the responsibility of both parties, the one who strikes first bears full responsibility, as clearly stated in the Constitution."
Hawk Eyes smirked dismissively, "Another one blinded by money. How pathetic!"
... Seeking fresh crocodile...
Chen Fan closed his eyes, revealing a speechless expression, and said, "I felt like you were just shirking responsibility the whole time, and you kept saying nice things to elevate yourself. If you don't have money, don't pretend. I don't have time to waste with you. I'm going back now. Tch...! A penniless wretch!"
