NOVEL WEB Chapter 34 Hawkeye Appears
Because Luffy made a promise to Tetsuo and Sanji to protect this restaurant, the group of them temporarily stayed near the restaurant, waiting for the arrival of the Krieg Pirates.
Until one early morning two days later.
Luffy and others were eating breakfast in the Barati restaurant when they suddenly heard the sound of a glass breaking.
Then they heard the guest sitting by the window suddenly scream in panic.
"Hey! Look at that..."
"On both sides of the skull, there are hourglasses painted to threaten the enemy. That symbol...is the pirate ship of leader Krieg."
"That's right! That's the pirate group led by Krieg, the leader of the East Blue Overlord, with a bounty of 17 million Baileys, 5,000 troops, and a fleet of more than 50 ships."
"No way?! Didn't you hear that they went to conquer the Grand Line? Why are they here?"
"Look at their ship. It's in tatters. It looks like it's about to be destroyed."
"It doesn't look like it's man-made. How did it become like that?"
"Then you still have to ask? That's the Grand Line!"
Hearing the comments from the surrounding guests, Usopp and Johnny Joseph were instantly frightened.
"5,000 troops?! East Blue Overlord?!"
"Is Grand Line that scary?"
"Crap, let's run away, Luffy!"
Usopp and the others were screaming in panic, but what Luffy was concerned about was Nami, who used to panic, but now she looked worried.
"It seems that the reward sheet is a great stimulus to Nami!"
Luffy was thinking in his mind, and couldn't help but recall Arlong's reward list, which was accidentally exposed when Johnny and Joseph were looking for Krieg's reward list to introduce to everyone after Arkin left that day.
"Nami, if anything happens, just tell me. Don't forget, I'm your captain!"
"I said, I will never let anything happen to my crew."
Luffy looked at Nami and said, wanting her to tell her what was on her mind.
But Nami seemed to have struggled internally before forcing a stiff smile.
"Ha...haha! What can happen to me, Luffy?"
"I just didn't sleep well."
"Luffy, I'm going to go back to sleep for a while."
With that said, Nami stood up and left.
Luffy heard this and said nothing more.
He knew that Nami didn't want to involve them.
‘Then let’s wait until Nami makes a decision. ’
Luffy thought so in his mind.
At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared at the door of the restaurant.
Ah Jin appeared in front of everyone, supporting a tall man.
"Is that...Krieg, the leader?"
"Why does he look like he's about to faint?"
There was a lot of chatter in the restaurant.
Krieg spoke at this time, his tone sounding extremely weak.
"I'm sorry, please give us water and food if you can."
"If you want money, we have it."
After saying that, Krieg suddenly fell to the ground.
"Chief Krieg!"
Ah Jin exclaimed and then looked at everyone in the restaurant.
"Please give us water and food, please, please save the captain."
"If it drags on any longer, he will die."
Seeing this scene, no one else in the restaurant moved, and Sanji walked into the kitchen again.
Luffy was not in a hurry to take action, he had to let Sanji see the true face of this group of people.
Soon, Sanji brought a piece of seafood fried rice and placed it in front of Krieg.
Seeing this, Akin looked at Sanji gratefully, with tears in his eyes.
"Mr. Sanji..."
"After you finish eating, take him and leave quickly!"
Sanji responded.
He hoped that what Luffy said that day wouldn't happen.
"Hey! Sanji, do you know who that guy is?"
"He is the leader of the Krieg Pirates who dominate East Blue!"
"I heard that he was originally a Marine. He killed the captain when he went to sea, took the warship, and then raised the pirate flag."
"Sometimes, he would raise the Marine flag again, then sail into the port, and then attack towns and passenger ships. He would also pretend to surrender to the enemy, and then attack the enemy unprepared."
"He will do anything for his own benefit!"
"This guy will never go back after eating."
In the restaurant, other chefs introduced Krieg's deeds to Sanji.
Suddenly, Sanji, who had just finished listening, felt a heavy blow to his head. When he reacted, he had been knocked to the ground by Krieg.
Ah Jin exclaimed when he saw this.
"Chief Krieg, didn't you promise me not to take action against this store?"
Krieg ignored Ajin, but couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah! I feel like I'm alive again."
Immediately, he looked at the ship Barati with great interest, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"This ship is good, I want it."
Then he looked at the panic-looking chefs over there and said in a commanding tone.
"Hey! Please prepare 100 portions of food and water for me quickly. There are still people on our ship who are hungry."
The chefs immediately refused and said angrily.
"You want us to save a group of pirates who we know will attack us? Don't even think about it!"
"Get out of here quickly."
Krieg suddenly looked cold and said in a deep voice.
"I'm not begging you, I'm ordering you. No one can resist me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Krieg suddenly raised his arm, and the golden armor on his shoulders suddenly revealed several gun muzzles, and the two pistols in his hand were simultaneously aimed at the chef present.
At this moment, Sanji suddenly got up from the ground and stopped Krieg.
"100 portions of food and water, right? I'll prepare them right away."
The chefs were about to turn against Sanji, but were stopped by Tetsuo.
"Stop arguing and come to the kitchen to help me."
Tetsuo gave the order, and the other chefs all walked into the kitchen even if they didn't want to.
They still obeyed Zhefu's orders very much.
Seeing how obedient these chefs were, Krieg smiled with satisfaction.
...
After a while, Sanji came to Krieg carrying a large bag of food.
"Here are 100 portions of food. Send it to the ship quickly!"
Krieg smiled strangely, turned around and left with the food.
After Krieg left, Sanji came to Akin and asked curiously.
"Ajin, why are you like this?"
"Aren't you the pirate group that dominates East Blue?"
Ah Jin seemed to have remembered something terrible, and his eyes suddenly became desperate, without any light.
He said fearfully.
"I can't tell if it's true...even I can't believe it."
"On the seventh day after entering the Grand Line, I suddenly found that the ships around me were sinking one after another."
"At that time, if there hadn't been a storm, I'm afraid we would have sunk with it."
"That man has a pair of sharp eyes that can kill, just like the eyes of an eagle..."
Upon hearing this, Zoro suddenly trembled and his breathing became rapid.
"What did you say?"
Luffy also realized instantly that the man Ajin was talking about was Hawkeye.
Seeing Ajin's expression of disbelief and fear, his eyes turned white and his pupils shrank to the extreme, he said.
"A man can destroy 50 pirate ships easily!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked.
"No...impossible?!"
"Just one person..."
"Isn't that a monster?"
"Is this the Grand Line? How scary!"
...
"A man with eyes like an eagle, who is he?"
Usopp asked with fear and curiosity, thinking that he would walk around this man whenever he saw him in the future.
"He's the man I've been looking for."
Zoro looked excited and his body was shaking slightly with excitement.
"You're talking about Hawkeye!"
At this time, Uta suddenly said something.
Everyone looked at her curiously after hearing this.
Luffy suddenly realized at this time that in the original book, Hawkeye was before Shanks broke his arm, and the two would often spar.
At that time, Uta was probably on Shanks' ship.
It seems that Uta and Hawkeye still know each other.
Luffy was thinking in his mind when he heard Usopp ask again.
"Who is that?"
Uta then replied.
"Hawkeye's full name is Dracule Mihawk, and he is the best swordsman in the world!"
Hearing Uta say this, Zoro unconsciously tightened his grip on the knife.
Uta continued.
"When I was with Shanks and the others, Hawkeye would often compete with Shanks."
"Speaking of which, Hawkeye is as strong as a monster."
"Now when I think about the scene where he competed with Shanks, I feel horrible."
Just as Uta was telling everyone about Hawkeye, there was a loud noise outside the restaurant.
Everyone heard the sound and came outside the restaurant, and their mouths opened wide in shock.
On the sea ahead, Krieg's huge battleship suddenly split neatly into two from the middle and began to sink slowly.
And in the middle of the crack in the huge battleship, a raft like a coffin board floated on the sea.
On the coffin board stood a man of extraordinary temperament.
The man's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
