The ship of the Creek Pirates was getting closer and closer, and just when they were about to land on the island, a green sword energy flew from a distance and directly cut the big ship in half.

"That guy is so pretentious."

He Huangpo complained silently in his heart.

He just saw with his own eyes Hawkeye rowing the boat with Black Knife Night, then he lifted Black Knife Night up, slashed a stream of sword energy, and then put it back on his back.

Sitting on his coffin boat, he struck a very handsome pose.

He Huangpo felt that he was quite pretentious.

Especially after the big ship cracked, everyone could see Hawkeye, the pretentious guy, through the opened gap.

"Emperor Ling, go ahead and chop up some of the boats, and stop that guy from showing off."

After He Huangpo finished speaking, he put on the sniper rifle and climbed onto the observation deck.

He Lingdi had already raised her heavy sword and slashed at the boat that had been cut once with a blow.

These sword energies directly chopped Creek's ship into pieces, and some of the debris almost fell on Hawkeye's head.

The entire large ship disappeared from the sea in an instant, and everyone also saw a small boat blocked behind the large ship, which belonged to the Emperor Chamber of Commerce.

The Imperial Chamber of Commerce's current ship is slightly smaller than Creek's large ship, and is about the same size as the Straw Hat Pirates' Thousand Sunny.

At this moment, everyone in Rogue Town was shocked by Hawkeye's strength. Creek, who had just got off the boat, was so frightened by this scene that his legs went weak.

Smoker easily pinned him to the ground.

He Huangpo saw that there was no chance for Luffy to play this role.

He simply shot and killed Creek with one shot.

With the sound of the gunshot, Smoker noticed the Emperor Chamber of Commerce in the distance. His originally relaxed brows frowned again. The Emperor Chamber of Commerce was a real big trouble.

After killing Creek, He Huangpo did not come down from the observation deck. Instead, he continued to hold the sniper rifle in the same place. In fact, he was using a sniper scope to observe the situation on the island.

Sure enough, he saw a green-haired figure rushing towards the sea.

Hawkeye has been defeated by He Lingdi and lost the title of the world's greatest swordsman, but the world's second greatest swordsman is also worthy of Zoro's challenge, not to mention that the world's greatest swordsman is also here.

Moreover, Zoro's original purpose of going out to sea was to challenge Hawkeye. Although the position of the world's greatest swordsman changed during the period of defeating Hawkeye, the process of challenging Hawkeye probably did not change.

"Let Hawkeye fight him later, or will you go up and fight him?"

He Huangpo looked at He Lingdi who had climbed onto the observation deck at some point in time, and asked casually.

"It's better for me to do this kind of thing myself. After all, I'm a female swordsman. I'll tell Kuina about it later. Who knows, she might show some interesting expressions."

He Lingdi chuckled a few times, then jumped high into the air and jumped off the observation deck. After falling onto the sea, he stepped on the wooden board of a Creek pirate ship.

At this time, Zoro also happened to run to the port.

"Hey, you're free over there, right? How about a competition?"

Zoro said as he jumped onto a huge wooden board, drew a knife from his waist, tied a headscarf over his head, and pointed the tip of the knife directly at Hawkeye.

Hawkeye glanced at Zoro, jumped from the coffin ship and jumped onto the wooden board.

"Competition? If you are really a first-class swordsman, you should be able to tell the difference in strength between us even without fighting."

"I don't know if it's courage or ignorance to draw a sword against me."

Hawkeye replied calmly. In his opinion, Zoro didn't have the capital to compete with him now.

"Because this is an agreement between me and my best friend, even though you are no longer in that position now."

Zoro said firmly, biting the Wado Ichimonji with his mouth, while holding the Sandai Kitetsu and Xue in his hands and walking away.

Hawkeye calmly took off the cross necklace from his neck, and only then did Zoro realize that it was actually a small knife.

"what do you mean?"

Hawkeye did not use the big sword behind him, but only used this small knife, which showed that he looked down on him, so Zoro asked this question.

"I am different from those beasts that use all their strength to hunt rabbits. Although you are slightly famous in this sea area, this is not the Grand Line. Unfortunately, I don't have a smaller knife than this."

Hawkeye said this, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"You guys, there has to be a limit to how much you can look down on others..."

Zoro also felt a little angry when he heard Hawkeye's words.

However, before he could finish his words and was about to rush up to fight Hawkeye, he was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"Hey, but I have a smaller knife here."

The person who made this voice was He Lingdi. She had arrived on this huge wooden board at some point.

Her sudden intervention also made the two of them slightly stunned. Zoro naturally knew He Lingdi, even if he didn't know the Emperor Chamber of Commerce.

But he had been paying attention to the swordsman and knew that He Lingdi was the new world's number one swordsman who had recently defeated Hawkeye.

She is a female swordsman. When he learned that the position of the world's greatest swordsman was taken by a woman, his first feeling was excitement and a little bit of happiness.

Because this proves one thing, that women can also become the world's greatest swordsman, which can also be regarded as a disguised proof for Kuina that women are no worse than men.

"I'm sorry to have overheard your conversation, but this young man over here, you should have learned swordsmanship in Shimotsuki Village, right?"

"how do you know?"

Zoro was a little surprised, because he had never publicized the fact that he learned sword in Shimotsuki Village.

"Judging from your reaction, I think it's correct. So, in that case, the agreement between you and that friend is with someone named Kuina?"

Zoro didn't reply this time, his eyes were full of shock.

"Oh, that's true. She and I have a good relationship. I once taught her a few moves."

He Lingdi was a little surprised, and then inadvertently revealed that Guina was still alive.

"What did you say? Isn't Kuina dead?"

Sauron was very excited, and the occasion was not serious, so he probably had already rushed up to ask Emperor He Ling.

"Guina was indeed dead before that, but to be more precise, she was in a state of suspended animation due to a severe blow to the brain. At that time, our Emperor Chamber of Commerce happened to be in the East China Sea, preparing to replenish some supplies in Shimotsuki Village, and we sensed a breath of life under the coffin."

"I feel a little sorry. We dug up the grave and dug out Kuina, who had already woken up. However, she was probably still unconscious due to lack of oxygen at the time, so we took her away without permission. I would like to apologize to you here."

He Lingdi explained how he had rescued Guina and apologized sincerely. After all, digging up someone's grave and taking her away without permission was really too much.

"Where is he now?"

Zoro did not mean to blame He Lingdi. He also knew very well that if it were not for the Emperor Chamber of Commerce, Kuina would probably have really died.

He Lingdi and his men did take Guina away without permission, and Guina used the same excuse when she woke up. However, Guina did not choose to go back, but chose to travel in other seas.

"This is part of the deal. When we were summarizing it, she made a deal with us, not letting us tell you where she is at will."

"Now that I've met you, I can just settle the balance. We didn't save people for no gain before. Kuina doesn't have any Beli, so she let me owe her money first. I'll ask Zoro for the money when I meet him later."

"The Imperial Chamber of Commerce would not normally accept credit, but considering that she was so young and I taught her a few tricks, we agreed to the credit. However, it does not mean there is no interest. Now it has been several years, and I calculated that the principal and interest are about 300 million Baileys. When do you plan to pay it back?"

He Lingdi smiled and stretched out his hand.

Zoro was petrified beside him.

However, Zoro was not anxious yet, but Nami, who was watching the show on the side, became anxious first.

"Three hundred million Baileys, why don't you go and rob them?"

"Nonsense! How can we make money faster than this? Besides, we take money to do things. Can you tell me when our Imperial Chamber of Commerce has ever failed?"

He Lingdi retorted, which also woke Nami up. Who was she arguing with just now? That was the vice president of the Emperor Chamber of Commerce, the most powerful force on the sea!

Was she trying to kill herself by saying that just now?

Nami wiped the cold sweat from her head and really didn't know why she was so brave just now.

"Fortunately, she didn't care."

Nami thought thankfully in her heart.

"But you can still get away with the three hundred million berries. How about a duel with me? I'll treat it as if you've already paid."

"I can't ask for it!"

Zoro came out of the petrification instantly. Although the target of the battle had changed, knowing that Kuina was still alive, it didn't matter whether he challenged the world's greatest swordsman or Hawkeye.

"Come on then, Hawkeye doesn't have a smaller knife, but I do."

He Lingdi smiled gently, then took out a nail clipper from his pocket.

"Why do you all like to insult people so much?"

Zoro got angry again. This was even more excessive than what Hawkeye did just now. What Hawkeye was holding was at least a knife. Are your nail clippers a knife?

"You are not an enemy, and you are just a weak person to me. You are neither an enemy nor a strong person. I don't need to show respect to the strong. I only show respect to you as a businessman shows respect to his customers."

"Now that the battle is over, it means you have paid off your debts, so you are no longer a customer."

"In that case, why should I use all my strength? A nail clipper would be enough, and how can you be sure that this is not a knife?"

Emperor He Ling still kept smiling and finally asked a question to Sauron.

"Don't regret it when you die!"

With the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth and two other swords in his hands, Zoro rushed towards He Lingdi.

"Frog in the well, come and see the real world."

He Lingdi directly stole Hawkeye's lines.

Zoro's fierce three-sword attack was easily blocked by He Lingdi with a nail clipper.

Zoro was also surprised. He didn't expect that his attack was blocked.

Hawkeye watched the fight from the side, and when he realized that he couldn't fight anymore, he put away his knife.

"How about we have a fight?"

A voice came from behind the shadow. It was He Huangpo. He was also holding two Tang swords in his hands. It was obvious that he had come here specifically to spar with Hawkeye.

"I also know some sword skills. Do you want to compete with me?"

Hawkeye wanted to refuse at first. After all, He Huangpo was not a pure swordsman and his weapon was a gun. But then he remembered that He Huangpo was He Lingdi's husband and maybe he really knew something, so they could have a competition.

Hawkeye pulled out the black knife behind him, which also meant that Hawkeye accepted the competition.

He Huangpo chuckled when he saw this scene. He really wanted to try out his sword or knife skills. He didn't know many weapons, so the spear was the most suitable for him.

He wanted to see how advanced his swordsmanship had become, and at the same time, to see how far he could go with his current level.

The sword technique he was going to use was the double-sword style of the Chiyan Realm. As He Huangpo was his best friend and had been with him for so long, He Huangpo had naturally learned some sword techniques from that realm.

He Huangpo also drew out his two swords. Hawkeye moved his feet slightly, and He Huangpo did the same. The two rushed towards each other.

The two of them collided with each other for several times, and Hawkeye was pleasantly surprised to find that He Huangpo's swordsmanship was not bad either. Although he was not as good as He Lingdi, he was also a great swordsman.

Hawkeye's fighting spirit instantly reached its peak. Dueling with such a great swordsman he had never seen before was definitely a novel experience for him.

The collision between Heidao Ye and his two swords produced huge sparks, and the battle between the two moved from the sea to the island.

This time, Rogue Town was in direct trouble.

Fortunately, Smoker had already evacuated the crowd when he saw the Imperial Chamber of Commerce and Hawkeye appear. There was no one left at the port except for some disobedient pirates.

The fight between the two was fierce. The Blazing Flame Flow itself was biased towards rapid attack, and almost all of its moves were fatal. Furthermore, since He Huangpo was unable to grasp the essence of it, he could only swing his sword normally at his current level, and the power caused was greatly reduced.

Hawkeye also kept attacking. The duel between the two progressed quickly. Both of them were injured and it was almost a draw.

He Lingdi was still teasing Zoro. At this time, Zoro was already exhausted and out of breath due to the fierce attack. He Lingdi just kept dodging and defending like he was teasing a monkey.

Finally, Zoro attacked fiercely, and He Lingdi's nail clippers pierced his shoulder directly.

"You could have dodged it just now, why didn't you do it?"

There was some doubt in He Lingdi's tone.

"Nothing, I just feel like this is something I have to go through."

Zoro's tone was also very confused about his decision with Kuina. Since Kuina didn't die, he didn't fight as hard as he did with Hawkeye in the original plot. But for some reason, he seemed to have a feeling in his heart that he couldn't dodge this knife.

Emperor He Ling sensed it casually and realized that it was the world consciousness taking action again.
