Chapter 87 On the eve of the war

A month flies by.

The day has come when the two great swordsmen will compete against each other.

The location is on a deserted island not far from Marinford.

On this day, the whole world was watching this competition. Swordsmen and ordinary people were all looking forward to seeing who was the world's strongest swordsman! Who would ascend to the throne of the strongest swordsman!

The competition venue was already crowded with people, including pirates, kendo masters, and a few brave ordinary people, with order maintained by the navy.

The competition venue was very close to the Marine Headquarters, and with Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Aokiji in charge, the pirates did not dare to act recklessly and had to disguise themselves in the crowd.

The navy made concessions this time. During the game, the navy will not arrest the pirates present. After all, there are a few ordinary people at the scene, and it would be bad if they were accidentally injured.

But after the game, whether these pirates can escape from here depends on their own abilities.

If you observe carefully, you will find that most of the pirates who come to the scene are swordsmen. They come here only to learn and observe kendo, break through their own bottlenecks, and step into a higher level.

"Vista, is your swordsmanship as good as theirs?" Marco asked Vista beside him.

He came to accompany Vista, who was also a kendo master and naturally would not miss this exciting competition. He originally wanted to come by himself, but Marco was worried that this was a trap set by the navy, so he followed him.

With the ability of his fruit, he is confident that he can take Vista out safely even if it is a trap set by the navy.

Vista stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "I don't know much about that General Bai Ze, but I know Hawkeye's swordsmanship very well. He is indeed very strong!"

After Mihawk went out to sea, he challenged kendo masters everywhere, and the two of them did exchange a few moves.

Simple and violent, this is Vista's evaluation of Hawkeye's swordsmanship. There are no unnecessary movements, and it simplifies things, which is completely different from his own swordsmanship.

Marco glanced sideways, "I asked if your swordsmanship is as good as theirs? Not asking you to evaluate it."

Vista rolled his eyes at him and said, "You want me to admit that I'm not as good as them, right?"

"Ahem, I've never had it, so I don't know!"

"Hey! Marco, Vista, come watch the game too!"

Marco and Vista turned around, "Huh? Red-Haired Shanks, are you guys from the Red-Haired Pirates here too?"

"Hahaha, no, I'm the only one here. Mihawk wants to challenge the admiral of the navy, and as his best friend, I have to come to support him!"

He wore a large straw hat, which he held down with his hands to cover his face, and a black robe that wrapped himself tightly.

He came all the way from the New World just to see if Hawkeye would make a fool of himself so that he could jump out and laugh at him.

Marco looked at him in such a strange way and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?"

"Oh, don't mention it. The navy has been keeping a close eye on me lately, you know." Shanks shook his head. There was nothing he could do. In the past few years, he had a tendency to become the emperor in the New World, so it was normal for the navy to give him special care.

Marco suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Shanks with some envy. It was obvious that we were all newbies back then, so how did you suddenly become so unfamiliar?

Unlike him and Vista, even if they were recognized the navy would not care about them for the time being, unless Whitebeard came in person.

There were many more people at the scene than just them. If you look closely, you can find that the Beasts Pirates and the BIG MOM Pirates also sent people to watch the battle.

They hide in the crowd one by one, disguising themselves, and only by watching on the spot can you get the most detailed information.

Kavi also mixed in the crowd and looked around, and found some people who were obviously navy men, hiding in the crowd in casual clothes.

Waiting for the right moment, when the competition is over, it is time for them to take action.

The navy is really a bunch of idiots. I wonder how many pirates will be imprisoned in Impel Down this time.

The smarter pirates had already discovered this and planned a retreat route.

Those who will be caught by then will probably be those idiots.

"Welcome everyone! The game will start soon! I will broadcast the entire game live for you!" A birdman shouted in the sky.

It was Morgans. Of course he would not miss such big news.

He didn't know what kind of deal he made with the Navy to make the Navy agree to let him host this exciting showdown.

The scene was packed with people, forming a huge circle, with four huge screens showing the situation on the deserted island in the middle.

There is a circle of sea water between the audience and the deserted island to prevent the residual power of the two swordsmen from hurting the audience.

It can be seen that the Navy has put a lot of effort into the layout of the venue.

Kavi was a little excited, as this scene gave him the feeling of watching the World Cup in his previous life.

After a while.

Morgans' voice came again.

"The game has officially begun! Both teams are invited to enter!"

With excited hearts and trembling hands, everyone present was filled with excitement as they were about to witness the birth of the world's strongest swordsman.

People all over the world were watching this scene through video Den Den Mushi.

In Shimotsuki Village in the East China Sea, Zoro, Koshiro, and all the disciples of the gym were sitting together and watching this scene.

Zoro stared at the world's strongest swordsmen. He wanted to see how big the gap was between him and them. His and Kuina's ideals could only be fulfilled by him alone now.

His best friend Kuina actually fell to her death from a staircase. Since then, he has trained even harder, determined to realize Kuina's dream as well.

Revolutionary Army Headquarters.

Kuina and Kral held hands and looked at the big screen in front of them with other revolutionary comrades.

Long Ye took time out to watch this match, hoping to estimate the strength of the navy through the battle between the two.

From the perspective of the Revolutionary Army, they will have to fight the Navy sooner or later. Just as Commander Kavi said, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!

He never misses an opportunity to learn about his opponent.

"Sabo, you should also take a good look. Although you are not a swordsman, watching strong men fight will also help improve your strength."

Sabo nodded, "Understood!"

As fate would have it, Sabo still became a member of the Revolutionary Army, but fortunately his memory was still there this time.

Under Kavi's influence, his strength became stronger than before and his injuries were not as serious as before. He was rescued by Long and later went to the Revolutionary Army to recuperate.

Originally, he wanted to go out to sea and continue being a pirate after his injuries healed, but while recuperating in the Revolutionary Army, he was deeply attracted by the cause of the Revolutionary Army.

Isn’t the ultimate goal pursued by the revolutionary army the most ideal world in his heart?

He was originally a noble and was well aware of their corruption.

After being attracted by the cause of the revolutionary army, he began to take the initiative to learn everything about it, and here his thoughts were sublimated.

At that moment, he forgot all about pirates and navy. He, Sabo, wanted to join the Revolutionary Army and devote his life to its cause.

Long was moved by his persistence and decided to accept him as his disciple and train him as a staff officer of the revolutionary army.
