One piece: I can steal Devil Fruit skills!

Then things went smoothly.

The pirates on the Creek pirate ship ate their food, regained their stamina, and began to attack the sea restaurant.

"Oops! They're killing them!"

"Look, what a bunch of ungrateful people!"

"How can we repair this! Prepare to fight; we are not easy to mess with!"

"Let them taste the chefs!"

"Spread the fins!"

Whoosh—

Just when everyone was getting ready to fight, a sharp wind suddenly sounded, and immediately after, the massive Creek pirate ship was sliced in half from the middle by a strange force!

Boom!!!

Water splashed everywhere, and the entire ship creaked and groaned.

"What's happening?!"

"Why did the ship suddenly split into two halves?!"

In the distance, a small boat floated slowly, lit by faint green candle flames.

A man with his legs crossed casually sheathed his black sword.

"Yes, it's Mihawk!"

Someone recognized Hawkeye's identity.

"Could it be that the legendary Shichibukai, the world's greatest swordsman?!"

Zoro's reaction was the most intense.

"Eagle-eyed man?!"

He had gone to sea precisely to find Hawkeye, defeat him, and become the world's greatest swordsman. Little did he know, before he even reached the Grand Line, he would encounter him.

Sometimes, fate is quite the trickster.

He thought his journey had just begun, but it might already be over.

His hand tightened around the handle of his sword.

"Luffy, I have ambitions I must achieve. I said at the beginning that if you stop me, I will cut you down too," Zoro said through gritted teeth.

Luffy nodded. "Well, I won't stop you."

"Then I'll go."

Whoosh.

Zoro became an afterimage and dashed toward Hawkeye.

On the other hand, the arrival of Hawkeye infuriated Krieg.

"You came here from the Grand Line! I won't kill you!"

Krieg suddenly activated the device in his armor, revealing a dark muzzle, ready to attack Hawkeye.

"Step aside!"

Suddenly, a green shadow shot from the side, heading straight for Hawkeye.

Seeing someone already confronting Hawkeye, Krieg chose to sit back and watch, abandoning his plan to attack Hawkeye.

"Who's coming? Identify yourself!"

Hawkeye said in a low voice.

"Roronoa Zoro!"

After a pause, he continued, "Let's have a battle between swordsmen."

A look of contempt flashed in Hawkeye's eyes. "As long as you are a first-rate swordsman, you should have seen the gap between us."

A few drops of cold sweat trickled down Zoro's forehead. "I have my own ambitions. If I back down here today, then my oath, my ambition, my everything will cease to exist."

"Really, in that case, it is as you wish."

Hawkeye tore off the cross on his chest, revealing a small knife. "I'm sorry, I really can't find a smaller knife than this."

"How dare you underestimate me..." Zoro immediately attacked Hawkeye.

However, whether it was Ghost Slash or Tiger Hunt, they were easily countered by Hawkeye.

In the end, after a fierce battle, Hawkeye barely exerted himself, while Zoro was left sweating profusely and panting.

"No, it's impossible! The gap in the world can't be so vast!"

"This is my last move; if I fail..."

"Three Thousand Worlds!"

Puff—

Zoro was defeated.

He suddenly faced Hawkeye. "The scar on the back is a shame for a swordsman!"

"It's amazing," Hawkeye smiled and said, his first words of praise since the battle began.

Puff—

A knife slashed across Zoro's chest.

"Huh, it's finally over. What a terrifying guy."

Su Yi, who had been watching the fight, breathed a sigh of relief; his nerves had been tense the whole time.

Hawkeye was indeed worthy of being the strongest swordsman, displaying a strength that seemed unfathomable.

And this was still the result of not using any Devil Fruit abilities.

I have to say, Hawkeye is simply a monster!

"Luffy, I'll leave it to you here. You can handle the guy in the ugly armor, right?"

Su Yi explained a few things to Luffy and then walked toward Hawkeye.

At that moment, seeing that Zoro was no match for Hawkeye, Krieg, who had been observing the battle, suddenly launched a sneak attack.

This was puzzling for Su Yi; what gave Krieg the courage to attack Hawkeye?

Bang bang bang—

Krieg fired his gun.

However, miraculously, Hawkeye did not shoot but vanished into the nearby sea with unmatched speed.

"Che, did he escape?"

Krieg looked unhappy, seeming to think that Hawkeye's disappearance was due to fear of his power, lamenting his missed chance to kill Hawkeye.

"Boss, how dare you attack Hawkeye!"

"Yeah, he's the man who destroyed 50 of our warships!!!"

Krieg glared at his subordinates in frustration.

"What a bunch of trash!"

"What the world's greatest swordsman must have eaten some kind of powerful Devil Fruit!"

"People with that kind of ability are everywhere in the Grand Line; it's already rotten!"

"If we regroup and make it to the Grand Line again, we'll have a chance to find that kind of Devil Fruit!"

"If I eat a Devil Fruit like Hawkeye, I'll be stronger than him! Do you understand?!"

Krieg's words were simply the ranting of a deluded pirate, leaving his crew stunned.

"What an ignorant idiot. You've lived to this day like smoke from your ancestor's grave."

At that moment, Su Yi had approached Krieg.

"Oh? You kid, do you want to die?"

Krieg aimed his gun at Su Yi.

"No, I just want you to see how big the world is..."

Suddenly, a book appeared in Su Yi's right hand.

The next moment, his body swelled slightly, and the nails on both hands grew rapidly.

"It turns out you're also a Devil Fruit user; die!"

Krieg pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"It's you who are looking for death!"

Su Yi suddenly vanished from his spot and reappeared right in front of Krieg.

"Scythe Sickle Sickle... Violent Cut!"

With a low voice, Su Yi, in squirrel form, activated two Devil Fruit abilities simultaneously.

A layer of light wind blades enveloped his claws, and he slashed suddenly!

Boom!!!

An unparalleled wind blade erupted, slicing the already fragmented Creek pirate ship into four pieces!

A massive splash of water erupted, and the Creek pirates screamed in horror.

"Again! A slash that splits the ship in half!"

"Is this guy also a powerhouse on the level of Hawkeye?!"

Slap—slap—

Drops of cold sweat trickled down Krieg's chin.

This time, he finally experienced true fear.

If that blow had landed on him...

Well, now he would definitely be in two halves!

No matter how powerful the armor was, even if it were made entirely of diamonds, it would have been shattered to pieces.
