Lin Mo pulled Toyako out of his waist.

His move actually aroused strong confusion among most of the people watching the battle.

"Competing with Hawk-Eye, Lin Mo is using Wooden Sword? Is he crazy?"

"What a child's play. There is a real sword, why do you have to use Wooden Sword?"

"Is it possible that Wooden Sword is not an ordinary sword? But why can't I see anything special about that sword?"

"You guys just don't know enough." Yasopp said with a smile, "Lin Mo has a pretty good eye for that little guy. Do you think an ordinary Wooden Sword can catch his eye?"

"Yasopp is right." Red-Hair stared at Toyako of Lin Mo and said with a smile, "That sword is not ordinary at all."

Hawk-Eye's eyes glanced at Toyako in Lin Mo's hand, and at the same time he pulled out his own saber, Yoru, one of Twelve Supreme Grade Blades's, from his back.

If the opponent is a very weak person, Hawk-Eye will not even use Yoru, but will fight with the cross knife hanging on his chest.

In fact, from the first time he saw Lin Mo, he felt that Lin Mo was a very strong person, so he directly used Yoru.

"Before the competition begins, please answer me a question first." Hawk-Eye asked indifferently, "What is your purpose in challenging me?"

Lin Mo hadn't answered yet, but Red-Hair, who was standing dozens of meters away, answered for him very excitedly, "That boy is going to take your place Master Swordsman, hahaha, Hawk-Eye, you have to be careful, that boy is very smart, he might beat you."

Hawk-Eye glanced at Red-Hair in the distance speechlessly, then turned his attention back to Lin Mo, and continued, "I can see that you are not a person who cares about fame and fortune."

Lin Mo shrugged and said, "I can also see that you are not a person who likes to talk nonsense."

"Ha." Hawk-Eye sneered, "What an arrogant boy. Okay, let's get started."

Seeing that Hawk-Eye was standing there without any movement, as if he wanted him to take action first, Lin Mo held Toyako and struck Divine Departure directly, spinning Sword Aura, which was holding countless Haki, and slashed towards Hawk-Eye.

"It's appeared, it's appeared!" Red-Hair was extremely excited.

Beckman was stunned for a moment. "Is this...Divine Departure?"

A hint of surprise also flashed in Hawk-Eye's eyes. He immediately waved Ye, and with two seemingly random slashes, Lin Mo's Divine Departure was completely scattered!

"It seems you are a little stronger than I expected." Hawk-Eye stared at Lin Mo sharply.

Although Lin Mo also thought that with his current Swordsmanship, even Divine Departure might not be able to defeat Hawk-Eye, but he did not expect that Hawk-Eye could crack Divine Departure so easily.

After a moment of silence, Lin Mo immediately stepped on Flash Step, appeared in front of Hawk-Eye in the blink of an eye, and struck Hawk-Eye with a sword, so fast that no one watching the battle had time to react.

But for Hawk-Eye, it was nothing at all, and it was still easily blocked by the night.

Toyako and Ye's swords clashed. The two of them seemed to be standing there without making any move. Wave after wave of powerful Sword Aura suddenly spread out in all directions, centered on the part where the two swords' blades were touching.

Red-Hair's Crew Members, some with relatively low strength, could not even withstand this invisible Sword Aura, and were so shocked that they suffered some internal injuries.

Even the trunks of some of the surrounding big trees were cracked with countless dense cracks.

Lin Mo thought he could hold on for a little longer, but unexpectedly, he only lasted a few seconds before he couldn't hold on any longer and was forced back several steps by Hawk-Eye's powerful Sword Aura.

While Lin Mo paused, Hawk-Eye had already caught up and slashed towards Lin Mo with a horizontal sword.

Lin Mo immediately stood up and jumped to avoid this wave of slashes.

Just as it landed, Hawk-Eye's attack came again.

Lin Mo relies on instinct to constantly dodge and fight back.

In just a few seconds, the two of them had exchanged blows hundreds of times. To outsiders, they could only see countless sword lights shining continuously.

"You can block so many of my moves. Your sword skills are pretty good." Hawk-Eye said while attacking, "But your strength is not enough. You are not strong enough to defeat me now Swordsmanship."

"I know." Lin Mo constantly defended, dodged and counterattacked Hawk-Eye's attacks. Although he was more passive now, he was not worried at all.

It wasn't until Hawk-Eye forced him back outside the ruins that the two of them emerged from the shadow of the ruins and entered a small patch of sunlight that shone through the thick clouds above Kuraigana Island. The corners of Lin Mo's mouth suddenly raised. "I didn't say I would defeat you with Swordsmanship."

After finishing speaking, Lin Mo quickly jumped back, leaving a distance of three meters between Hawk-Eye.

Hawk-Eye was wondering what Lin Mo was going to do next, when he suddenly noticed something was wrong with his body. "What did you do?"

"Nothing." Lin Mo hung Toyako back on his waist calmly.

At this moment, his shadow under the sun has long been lengthened and connected with the shadow of Hawk-Eye.

Then, something happened that shocked everyone watching Red-Hair not far away. Hawk-Eye actually followed Lin Mo and made the same move, but Hawk-Eye's Yoru was carried on the back, so Lin Mo's sword was hung back, while Hawk-Eye's sword fell directly to the ground.

Chapter 236 Kāna Island: It's a bit difficult to handle

"Um? Did I read that correctly? Hawk-Eye actually lost his Yoru?"

"What's going on? Isn't a sword a very important thing for a Swordsman? Hawk-Eye is Master Swordsman, how could he throw away his sword... There must be something wrong somewhere."

"Look, Hawk-Eye seems unable to move. Did that boy Lin Mo do something to Hawk-Eye?"

Red Hair Pirates and Crew Member were talking to me one by one.

"It's a shadow." Beckman stared at the shadows under the feet of the two people who were in a stalemate, feeling a little strange, "I remember that Lin Mo isn't Logia the user of some kind of fire-type fruit? How come he still has the ability of Paramecia?"

"And it has the same ability to control shadows as Gecko Moria." Yasopp suddenly thought of a possibility, "Is it possible that little Lin Mo killed Moria at some point and got Shadow-Shadow Fruit?"

Lucky Roux continued, "It's unlikely. If Moria dies, it will definitely be in the newspapers. I haven't seen any news about Shichibukai being killed during this time."

"That's weird." Yasopp looked at Enel and Kaku and asked, "Lin Mo What did that little kid eat? Devil Fruit, you two can't possibly not know, right?"

Kaku said awkwardly, "I really don't know... I asked before, but Lin Mo Captain said he had never eaten Devil Fruit."

"Haha." Enel said proudly, "I told you a long time ago that Lin Mo is stronger than you think. Does it matter whether he eats Devil Fruit or not? Whether he eats or not, he is the strongest."

"Oh, you are very confident in that boy Lin Mo." Red-Hair touched his chin and glanced at Enel with a smile, then turned his attention back to Lin Mo and Hawk-Eye.

Red-Hair knows the strength of Hawk-Eye best, and it can be seen from the fight between Lin Mo and Hawk-Eye just now, Hawk-Eye's Swordsmanship and sword skills are both superior to Lin Mo. Just using Swordsmanship in a duel, Lin Mo will definitely lose.

Red-Hair originally thought that Lin Mo simply wanted to find Hawk-Eye to discuss with Swordsmanship. Regardless of how much strength Lin Mo had hidden, it seems now that this kid is clearly here to win Hawk-Eye by any means necessary...

Lin Mo: When did this guy become so obsessed with winning?

Back to Lin Mo and Hawk-Eye.

This is the first time Lin Mo has been used since getting Shadow Imitation Technique.

The effect is not bad.

Hawk-Eye stared at Lin Mo with sharp eyes, trying to break free from Lin Mo's shadow.

However, as long as the sun is not blocked, he cannot regain his freedom.

Hawk-Eye was not angry because of Lin Mo's deception. Instead, he asked calmly, "Are you Devil Fruit User?"

"No." Lin Mo answered truthfully. As for whether Hawk-Eye believes it or not, that is Hawk-Eye's business.

Hawk-Eye is a person who can judge people very accurately. Although Lin Mo's denial does not sound credible, he can see that Lin Mo is not lying.

Starting from Lin Mo's successful control of Hawk-Eye, as long as he randomly uses another Ninjutsu, Hawk-Eye will definitely lose, because Hawk-Eye does not have All-Attribute Chakra Constitution, but Lin Mo did not do this, because Hawk-Eye's personality is very similar to him to some extent, so Lin Mo still has a very good impression of Hawk-Eye.

And his mission is just to defeat Hawk-Eye, without saying how to defeat him. In his opinion, if he can completely control Hawk-Eye's actions, he has won. Next, as long as Hawk-Eye admits defeat, the mission is almost completed.

"So, your purpose is just to make me admit defeat?" Hawk-Eye still stared at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo nodded lightly.

Hawk-Eye said in an indifferent tone, "You want me to admit defeat? What a child's play!"

Lin Mo glanced at the slowly moving clouds in the sky.

The small patch of sunlight covering him and Hawk-Eye is gradually shrinking. Once the clouds block all the sunlight, his Shadow Imitation Technique will be ineffective.

Since Hawk-Eye refuses to admit defeat, there is nothing we can do.

Sure enough, we still have to take action...

So the question is, which skill is more suitable for the current situation?

After all, the range of this sunlight is extremely limited. If you use a more aggressive skill to hit Hawk-Eye into the shadow next to it, Shadow Imitation Technique will also be ineffective. Once Hawk-Eye is free again, it will probably be a bit troublesome to defeat him again.

Unless you win with one move.

Generally Swordsman has a very high xinxing, not to mention that Hawk-Eye is still Great Swordsman. Even if he is injured, he may not admit defeat, and Lin Mo does not want to kill him, so there is only one way left.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo raised his head without fear and looked at Hawk-Eye's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people at a glance.

"As long as there is no sunlight, you can't control me." Hawk-Eye immediately discovered Shadow Imitation Technique's weakness, "My actions are completely synchronized with yours like a shadow. Even though you control my actions, you still can't take action against me."

"How do you know there's nothing I can do?" Lin Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and with a thought in his mind, in an instant, a person exactly like him appeared next to him.

This scene once again shocked everyone watching the battle.

Even Hawk-Eye, the most calm man, had a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Is this a shadow? No... it's a real thing!" Hawk-Eye said with a stern expression.

Red-Hair originally didn't want to comment on the unfinished duel between Lin Mo and Hawk-Eye, but when he saw another Lin Mo appear, he couldn't help but asked with a little excitement, "There are actually two Lin Mo. It's amazing, Lin Mo, you can actually split into Physical Clone."

"Eh? Is it a real thing? Boss, isn't that a shadow?"

"What's going on? Lin Mo What did that kid eat Devil Fruit? How come he has so many messy abilities?"

"I don't know... didn't he just say that he didn't eat?"

"Do you believe this kind of nonsense? How could Devil Fruit have so many abilities and be able to contain Hawk-Eye?"

Red Hair Pirates and Crew Member started talking again.

Beckman came to Red-Hair and said in a calm tone, "Lin Mo's ability is a bit strange."

Red-Hair waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, Beckman, don't you think Lin Mo is getting more and more interesting? Hahahaha..."

Beckman:"..."

Compared to Red Hair Pirates.

Enel looked at Lin Mo with a twinkling light in his eyes, looking like a fanboy. "I heard two heartbeats, this Cloning Technique is amazing, Lin Mo is indeed Lin Mo, it's amazing!"

As for Kaku, the expression on his face was a little stiff, and a small amount of sweat had appeared on his forehead.

It can be seen from the performance of Enel that even Enel, who has been with Lin Mo for so long, still doesn't fully understand the strength of Lin Mo, let alone the one who is on board this night?

Even if I finally gain the complete trust of Lin Mo and Enel, I can't imagine the consequences when my undercover identity is exposed in the future...

"Hahaha, Kaku, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Yasopp suddenly appeared and patted Kaku on the shoulder.

Kaku was startled, came to his senses immediately, and hurriedly waved his hand. "Nothing, nothing..."

"It's really nothing?" Yasopp asked with a smile, "I think your face doesn't look good. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Well, this..." Kaku touched his Long Nose and said with a dry smile, "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep last night..."

Chapter 237 Kāna Island: Young people don't respect martial ethics

In the case where Hawk-Eye cannot be restored to freedom, Lin Mo has to defeat the opponent with his own hands, and Shadow Clone is the most suitable one.

As long as he stood still and let Shadow Clone hit Hawk-Eye, it would be considered his doing it.

"Boss, what are your orders?" As soon as Shadow Clone appeared, an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What skills have you been assigned?" He glanced at Shadow Clone.

Shadow Clone respectfully replied, "Pegasus Meteor Fist."

Lin Mo nodded lightly. "Okay, I'll control Hawk-Eye, you go and knock him out."

Shadow Clone rubbed his hands and turned to Hawk-Eye, whose face was half covered by a shadow. Without saying a word, he quickly approached Hawk-Eye, punching and kicking him.

Lin Mo is standing still. As long as Shadow Imitation Technique is still valid, Hawk-Eye cannot move either.

Therefore, facing the attack of Lin Mo Shadow Clone, Hawk-Eye has no room to fight back.

"Lin Mo!" Hawk-Eye was a little angry, "Is this what you call a challenge?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Well, as long as you can win, the process is not important."

"I'll go, this guy doesn't have martial ethics!"

"Hawk-Eye is too miserable."

"Boss, don't you care? Hawk-Eye is your friend, right?"

"Such a competition has no meaning at all, okay... Even if Lin Mo wins, no one will recognize this competition..."

Most people in Red Hair Pirates started to fight for Hawk-Eye.

Although Hawk-Eye was being beaten without the ability to fight back, Red-Hair was not worried about him at all. Instead, he laughed heartlessly, "Hahahaha, Hawk-Eye, you are so stupid. You were actually tricked by a fifteen-year-old kid. If you tell me this, your Master Swordsman face will be lost. Hahaha, I really laughed to death."
