Chapter 594
The moment Chen Fan smiled, it meant he was about to use a dirty trick. Sure enough, as Chen Fan attacked with both swords, he kicked Hawk Eyes in the groin. If Hawkeye got hit, forget about Armament Haki; even three Haki combined would be useless. This bastard is so despicable; he has no dignity whatsoever of a Sword Saint.
Hawk Eyes had elevated Chen Fan's status from a decent swordsman to a Sword Saint. Hawk Eyes quickly retreated, dodging Chen Fan's groin kick.
Chen Fan stopped, looking at Hawk Eyes with a surprised expression, and said, "Hey...! How did you dodge that!"
Hawk Eyes rolled his eyes upon hearing Chen Fan's words. If you're not going to dodge, then there's no point in fighting. How can you hit someone and not fight back, and then not let them dodge?
But soon he resumed fighting Chen Fan. Had he encountered such a good opponent? The world is vast, but how many people can be considered 200 opponents by Hawk Eyes?
The battle lasted for more than ten hours, from day to Black Night. All the trees on the island had fallen, and the ground was covered with huge cracks. Anyone who came to the island would be astonished by the state of the island, because it was clearly the result of a battle between two of the world's most outstanding Sword Saint.
This place was later protected by both the Navy and pirates, because over 90% of those who used swords were pirates or marines. Coming here would broaden their horizons and improve their swordsmanship. This place was later called 'Sword God Island'. Legend has it that two unparalleled Sword Saint fought here, and the winner became the Sword God. The rumor spread far and wide, but the traces here were indeed extraordinary, definitely the kind of power only Sword Saint could possess, so they simply called it that.
Midnight, both men stopped fighting. Chen Fan had a slight advantage, having inflicted a wound on Hawk Eyes's body. Chen Fan had made the cut when Hawk Eyes was using up all his remaining strength to survive. However, the wound wasn't very deep, so it didn't affect his movement. Nevertheless, this was the only time Hawk Eyes had ever been injured in his life, and it was very noticeable on his chest. The world would be shocked if Hawk Eyes, a man known for never having been injured, suddenly had a sword wound on his chest. And that was the beginning.
Chapter 143 A Promise to Fight Again
(Chapter 143: A Promise to Fight Again)
As night fell, the moon in the sky was very round, and when viewed from the sea, it seemed even closer. The moon is said to be fullest on the 16th of the lunar month, but Chen Fan wondered if the world even had a New Year celebration. His understanding of this world was far too limited, mainly because he had only been there a very short time and couldn't possibly learn anything concrete.
The island has been reduced to ruins, the result of a fierce battle between two top-tier Sword Saint.
Bright moonlight shone down from the sky, a wisp of smoke rose from above the island, and several large fish were roasting around the flames;
Chen Fan and Hawk Eyes sat on two broken tree stumps, each eating a fish to replenish their strength from the day's battle. Nami sat beside them. Today's fight had finally made Nami understand just how powerful Chen Fan was. She wondered why a man like Chen Fan, no matter how beautiful a woman he could be, couldn't have her, and why he was so fixated on her. She couldn't understand it. Looking at Chen Fan's profile, the Kakkō flickered, and Chen Fan's face, from any angle, was... a handsome and charming man.
Moreover, with such formidable strength, perhaps Chen Fan a prince from that country;
Chen Fan and Hawk Eyes became friends after a fight. Hawk Eyes proudly opened his chest, revealing the scar Chen Fan had slashed at him, as if afraid no one would see it.
"Chen Fan, may I take a look at your sword?" Hawk Eyes asked. He was very curious about what kind of sword Chen Fan had. As a swordsman, his love for his sword was even higher than his own life.
"Sure!" Chen Fan, with food in his mouth, tossed the two Bone Blades to Hawk Eyes. Hawk Eyes examined them carefully, found nothing special, and then tried to break them.
"Snap!" The knife broke in two.
"Ah...! It's broken!" Nami cried out, her mouth agape.
Hawk Eyes was dumbfounded. What happened? It broke so easily! This sword had been clashing with his Black Blade for so long! What should he do? For a swordsman, his sword is the most precious thing.
"Hahaha...~~!" Chen Fan burst into laughter;
Nami slapped Chen Fan on the shoulder in annoyance and said irritably, "The knife is broken, what are you still laughing about!"
Chen Fan laughed and said, "Hehe... that was just a regular fish bone, just like the fish we're eating now. It's just that it's very memorable, since it was the first fish I ever ate in this world."
"How is this possible? How could an ordinary fishbone withstand a clash with my Black Blade without breaking!" Hawk Eyes said in disbelief.
"I just wrapped some Haki around the blade. So you also use Haki to protect your blade, right? My Haki is a bit special, so its defensive capabilities are stronger!" Chen Fan said, then stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth. The food in this world is really good. Chen Fan felt that since he already had a ship and a navigator, he should find a woman... uh, no, he should find a chef. The best chef in Pirate King is Sanji, that's universally acknowledged. But Chen Fan had already snatched Nami from Luffy, so it would be too much of an overreaction to bring Sanji in as well.
The main problem is that Sanji is a man, and a lecherous one at that, so he's a no-go. Let's find a beautiful female chef first, and then we can talk about that after we've dealt with Nami's situation.
"Cheers!" Chen Fan clinked glasses with Hawk Eyes and downed the wine in one gulp. This was a good wine Hawk Eyes had gotten his hands on, which he had been drinking on his ship during the journey. But now that he had made Chen Fan a friend, of course he had to share it. He hadn't had such a satisfying fight in a long time, and he had even lost.
"Chen Fan, where are you planning to go next?" Hawk Eyes asked. He believed that a man like Chen Fan would soon become world-famous, because he was the one who had inflicted wounds on himself.
Chen Fan blinked and smiled, saying, "I have a lot to do. First, I need to accompany my woman back to her parents' home."
