"Fine, I'll take a look!"
Then, in an instant.
Moria stared in astonishment at the severed blade in his hand after taking a slash to the chest, his body swaying slightly.
He looked up at Hawkeye in disbelief.
This wasn't right, was it?
Why was this guy so strong?
Before coming here, Moria had always believed that even if Hawkeye was stronger than him, it wouldn't be by much.
Besides, he had his recovery ability.
At the very least, they should have been evenly matched.
And if he wanted allies, naturally he had to find allies of comparable strength.
But now...
After delivering just one slash, Hawkeye sheathed his sword on his back again.
"With your strength, you want to challenge Whitebeard?"
Moria had been furious when he heard those words earlier, but now, he couldn't say anything.
"Leave this place."
After saying that, Hawkeye walked past Moria and left directly.
"That bastard!"
Only after Hawkeye had left did Moria grit his teeth and curse.
The wound on his chest wasn't serious. With his powerful physique, the muscles had already tightened, and it was no longer bleeding.
But the blow to Moria was immense.
Hawkeye had lost when he challenged Whitebeard, and the fight hadn't even lasted long.
Yet now, he couldn't even take Hawkeye's slash.
Could contacting some people really let them defeat Whitebeard?
"Captain?"
The zombie doctor at his side looked at the wound on Moria's chest before speaking.
"Let's go. We'll find the others."
The doubts in Moria's heart didn't last long.
No matter what, he had to give it a try.
Since Hawkeye refused, there were still others.
Hawkeye paid no attention to where Moria was headed.
After leaving his residence, he went straight to the Hunter Guild town on the outskirts of the trial area.
