Zoro After sheathing all his swords, he used his left hand to cover his left eye, which was still bleeding. His face turned slightly pale. "I'm fine, I can't die..."

Ace is still a little worried. "Wait for me here, I'll go to the ship to get the medical kit. Kaku If that guy doesn't let you get on the ship, you can't get on, or he will really kill you next time."

"I think he wants to kill me right now." Zoro said nonchalantly, "Forget it, I challenged him first anyway. This little injury will heal soon. You don't need to get the medical kit."

As he spoke, Zoro stood up, still covering his left eye with his left hand. Even though blood was still flowing out from between his fingers, he didn't care. He patted the dust on his body with his right hand and prepared to leave directly.

Ace saw Zoro leaving, thought about it, and asked again, "Where are you going?"

Zoro said calmly, "Go to Hawk-Eye."

After he finished speaking, he continued to walk forward. Ace did not follow him, but turned around and returned to Inkman.

Zoro relied on his own intuition and quickly arrived at the coast. Looking at the endless sea, he didn't stay long, turned around and continued walking forward.

Ten minutes later, when he returned to this coast again, he looked at the endless sea, scratched his head, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why does this place look so familiar?"

When he continued to change direction and came to the coast for the third time.

Enel, who had been secretly observing him, was sitting on the trunk of a big tree, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "This guy is deliberately trying to be funny, right? How many times has this come back? Thunder God is laughing to death, hahahahaha."

Herald stood expressionlessly next to Enel, also looking at Zoro below, and said calmly, "He must be lost."

Hearing the voices of a certain two people, Zoro, who originally didn't want to care about them, had a big tic-tac-toe appear on his forehead. "Hey, I've tolerated you two for a long time! Also, I'm not lost!"

Enel said unceremoniously, "You think I, Thunder God, are stupid. You have been here three times. What if you don't get lost? Is it so difficult to admit a mistake?"

As soon as Enel finished speaking, Herald glanced at him meaningfully.

Sensing Herald's gaze, Enel glanced back at him unhappily. "What are you looking at!"

Then, Herald calmly withdrew his gaze.

Zoro knew Enel, so even though he had discovered Enel and Herald long ago, he didn't care about them.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Zoro ignored Enel and Herald, turned around, and walked into the jungle behind him.

This time, Enel did not continue to follow him, but said jokingly, "Do you believe it or not, this guy will come back soon, do you want to bet?"

Herald replied boringly, "Boring."

After he finished speaking, he flapped his wings and ran away.

Enel said disapprovingly, "You boring guy."

the other side.

Within Castle of Hawk-Eye.

With the consent of Hawk-Eye, Perona happily started a treasure hunting adventure in Castle, which was very suitable for her.

And Lin Mo followed Hawk-Eye to the house where Hawk-Eye often drank alone.

Hawk-Eye casually asked 'what to drink'.

Lin Mo replied "whatever" calmly.

Then, Hawk-Eye took out two unopened bottles of Red Wine from the newly installed wine cabinet next to it, took a tall glass and placed it on the table in front of Lin Mo. He pulled out the cork of one of the bottles of Red Wine with ease, and naturally poured half a cup of Lin Mo first, and then poured a similar amount of Red Wine for himself.

The two of them each picked up the wine glasses in front of them, clinked their glasses in tacit understanding, and started drinking.

Lin Mo and Hawk-Eye almost finished the two bottles of Red Wine without saying a word.

Although the current atmosphere is too quiet, it is not particularly strange given the personalities of these two people.

Neither of them felt anything bad or uncomfortable.

It wasn't until the second bottle of Red Wine was finished that Hawk-Eye spoke first, breaking the silence between the two. "You came here just to drink with me?"

Lin Mo nodded lightly.

Hawk-Eye stared at Lin Mo sharply and continued, "You promised me, haven't you forgotten it?"

Lin Mo nodded again and said calmly, "It's not time yet."

Hawk-Eye continued, "Why must there be a time limit? What on earth are you waiting for?"

Lin Mo said calmly, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm not ready yet."

When he said this, Hawk-Eye was speechless.

What are you not ready for?

Hawk-Eye doesn't believe this.

He was also present at the battle of Marineford.

Although he has not been with Lin Mo for a short time, he has known Lin Mo for a long time after all. As for Lin Mo's strength, although he still cannot fully understand Lin Mo's strength, Lin Mo is still very strong.

At least you can still fight with him now.

Therefore, Hawk-Eye had no reaction on the surface, but deep down he was still confused.

He didn't understand why Lin Mo took so long.

However, Hawk-Eye is not someone who likes to get to the bottom of things. Since Lin Mo is unwilling to tell, he will not continue to ask.

"So, how long do you plan to stay here?" Hawk-Eye asked directly.

Lin Mo didn't even think about it and replied, "I'll leave after a while."

Hawk-Eye narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "It seems that you are really just passing by."

Lin Mo said calmly, "What else?"

Hawk-Eye suddenly chuckled and continued, "There is someone here who you should know."

Lin Mo knew who Hawk-Eye was talking about, but he didn't know why Hawk-Eye knew that he knew Zoro.

It seems that he never mentioned Zoro to Hawk-Eye.

As if he guessed what Lin Mo was thinking, Hawk-Eye said directly, "You asked me to go to East Blue. I met an interesting guy, his name is Zoro, and now he is practicing here."

Lin Mo responded with an understatement of 'Oh'.

As if to say, it has nothing to do with him.

Hawk-Eye said disapprovingly, "Maybe this is a coincidence, but that guy Zoro mentioned you to me, not just her, Shichibukai except me, you seem to have been in contact with them all, except Kaido, you have also had contact with the other three emperors, and your relationship with Whitebeard and Red-Hair is very good. Red-Hair even took you in as a godson, and Garp is also very good to you."

After a pause, Hawk-Eye continued, "Not only the navy and Pirate, you seem to be very close to the Revolutionary Army. You know people from all the forces on this sea, and you even have a good relationship with the people in power in all the forces."

Before he finished speaking, Hawk-Eye stopped and stared directly at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo looked up at him and asked, "So?"

Hawk-Eye asked expressionlessly, "You are only twenty years old. Do you think it is normal for you to have such experience, connections and achievements at such a young age?"

Chapter 1018 Kāna Island: Leave

Regarding Hawk-Eye's question, Lin Mo did not answer directly, but asked, "Is there any question?"

As if all this is normal operation.

He had cheating in the first place. If he cheated and did poorly, then his life would have been in vain.

Hawk-Eye also asked back, "Is there no problem?"

Lin Mo said nonchalantly, "I think it's okay."

Hawk-Eye stared at Lin Mo silently for a long time before continuing to speak, "Lin Mo, you have too many secrets."

Lin Mo said disapprovingly, "Who doesn't have some secrets?"

Hawk-Eye continued, "You have so many secrets."

Lin Mo didn't even think about it and said directly, "You talk a bit too much today."

Hawk-Eye said calmly, "I just said what I wanted to say."

Lin Mo didn't want to say anything more about this issue, so he stood up and changed the subject. "How much wine do you still have in your wine library?"

Hawk-Eye probably guessed what Lin Mo was going to do, and said without leaving any room, "You can only take away ten bottles. If you want to take more, just fight with me in advance."

Lin Mo glanced at him boringly, without saying anything more. Following the route in Memory, he quickly reached Hawk-Eye's wine warehouse.

Hawk-Eye was staring at Lin Mo at the door of the wine warehouse.

Lin Mo carefully selected and quickly selected ten bottles of good wine.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Hawk-Eye not paying attention and enter System Space more smoothly, but Hawk-Eye's eyes were always on him. It was a bit unrealistic to want to get more wine under his nose.

"I can buy some."

Lin Mo just finished speaking.

Hawk-Eye refused. "I'm not short of money."

Lin Mo glanced at him without saying anything else. He took the ten bottles of wine Hawk-Eye gave him and found Perona who was still adventuring. Perona was extremely reluctant and forcibly took her away from Castle.

Hawk-Eye sent Lin Mo and Perona to the door of Castle and did not go any further.

Enel continued to wait on the tree for Zoro to come back.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait. He used Observation Haki to see that, good guy, Zoro actually went around to the back of Kuraigana Island's island...

Zoro searched for a long time but could not find Castle of Hawk-Eye.

When he was annoyed and entered the dense jungle of the island again, he didn't go far when he found Lin Mo and Perona not far away, walking towards the coast where Inkman was docked.

Seeing an acquaintance, Zoro immediately walked away quickly. "Lin Mo!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo stopped and turned around to look at Zoro who was in a mess, with a gray head and a dirty face, and didn't seem to be in good condition.

Especially when he saw the injury on Zoro's left eye, Lin Mo became silent.

It seems like this guy just arrived on this island not long ago, right? Lin Mo Remember, Zoro the injury on the eye probably didn't appear that early...

Perona blinked and looked at Zoro, then looked at Lin Mo and asked, "Captain, who is he?"

Although Straw Hat Pirates also went to Thriller Bark, which Gekko Moria once ruled, before they went, Perona had already gone to sea, so Perona did not meet Straw Hat Pirates's people, so he did not know them.

Lin Mo did not answer Perona's question and continued to ask Zoro: "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Zoro said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury. By the way, since you're here, is Kuina also here? Where is she? I haven't seen her for a long time. I don't know if her Swordsman has improved."

Then, Lin Mo said directly, "She didn't come."

Zoro was stunned. "She didn't come? Isn't she already your Crew Member? Why isn't she with you?"

Lin Mo said calmly, "She is practicing."

When he said this, Zoro probably understood. "That's it."

Lin Mo glanced at Zoro's current three swords. In his Memory, at this time, Yubashiri should have been corroded, but Yubashiri was corroded.'s Sifa Island has long been destroyed by Lin Mo and Enel, so it is not surprising that Yubashiri is still there, if you think about it carefully.

Zoro saw Lin Mo looking at his swords. Without thinking, he asked directly, "I got two more good swords. Do you want to take a look?"

Lin Mo shook his head and refused. "No need."

Zoro suddenly pulled out three more swords and prepared for a fight. "Since it's rare to see you once, let's have a fight. I'm much stronger now than when I challenged you before. Be careful and accept the move!"

As he spoke, Zoro rushed towards Lin Mo with a swish. Just as he was about to attack, Lin Mo immediately drew out Nidai Kitetsu, blocked the attacks of Zoro's three swords with a quick and accurate sword, and then knocked it away with one blow.

Once again, he stood up from a pile of slag that he had smashed with his sword. Zoro not only did not get discouraged because he was easily knocked away, but he also said happily, "You are still so strong. It seems that my training is not enough. One day, I will definitely defeat you!"

Lin Mo said rudely, "You have no chance."

Zoro said nonchalantly, "When I defeat Hawk-Eye, I will officially challenge you again."

Lin Mo responded with a perfunctory "OK" and planned to leave.

Before he left, Zoro specifically asked, "Do you know where Hawk-Eye's Castle is?"

Perona kindly pointed the direction to Zoro: "You can see it if you keep walking over there."

Zoro glanced at the direction pointed by Perona, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much."

After finishing speaking, he strode away in the other direction.

Perona was shocked. "Hey, you're going in the wrong direction!! I'm talking about that direction, on your left!"

Zoro paused and glanced back at Perona: "There must be something wrong with the direction you are pointing."

As he spoke, Zoro turned around and walked in the direction pointed by Perona.

Perona almost laughed out of anger at Zoro: "This guy is an idiot..."
