Chapter 23 The world’s greatest swordsman joins the fight!

"Yeah. That's right. Even if I will die later. But before that, I will fulfill my obligations as a chef." Sanji lit a cigarette and looked back at the source of the voice.

The person who spoke was none other than Yun Tianxiang, who was eating the delicious ramen at Nico Robin's table.

This stinky cook, the food he gave to beautiful women is so delicious. The food he gave to them is so lame. Yun Tianxiang ate Nico Robin's ramen with big mouthfuls, and kept complaining about Sanji in his heart.

Nico Robin smiled. Seeing that Yun Tianxiang liked her plate of ramen so much, she placed the plate of ramen in front of him. She supported her chin with her hand and watched him enjoy the food with joy.

"Hey! You sissy! That's the food I prepared for this beautiful lady! Don't just take it and eat it!" Sanji rushed to Yun Tianxiang in a rage, grabbed Yun Tianxiang by the collar and shook him.

"Perverted cook." Yun Tianxiang showed a look of contempt.

"Bastard! Spit it out!" Sanji shook Yun Tianxiang hard, but to no avail.

Because he has turned into a cloud and is out of Sanji's control.

"Brother? Can you make another one?" Nico Robin smiled sweetly, very charmingly.

"Hey! Since it's a lady's request, there's no way I can refuse!" Sanji instantly turned into Piaopiao, trying to make his presence felt in front of Nico Robin.

"Alive." Creek had finished his food, his eyes showing a beast-like look.

He looked around the restaurant, showing everyone his mean side.

He asked the chefs to prepare food and water for a hundred people, because there were a hundred hungry men on the huge battleship outside, and someone would die every second.

The chefs strongly disagreed and put the blame on Sanji for giving the food to Creek.

Just like in the original novel, there was a fight between the chef and Creek in the restaurant at sea, and Ajin begged Creek not to do this and to keep his promise.

Creek showed off his gleaming golden steel armor and his great strength, and defeated the chef who attacked him.

After Creek loudly declared that he was the strongest pirate overlord in the East China Sea, the chef of the sea restaurant, Zeff, placed 100 servings of food and water in front of Creek and asked him to move the food to the boat quickly.

Creek saw Zhepu in front of him and showed a shocked expression, "Zhepu!"

The chefs were puzzled as to why their boss was so generous in supporting the enemy.

Zeff calmly stated that Creek's men would not have the will to fight, then looked at Creek and asked in a declarative tone: "Right? The defeated soldiers of the Grand Line!"

"No way?!"

"That Chief Creek is a defeated soldier!"

"Even the overlord of the East China Sea, a pirate fleet with fifty ships..."

“Failed to cross the Grand Line”

While everyone was talking, Ajin held his head and trembled.

"Grand Line?" Luffy shouted when he heard it. He immediately looked at Yun Tianxiang, "Yun Tianxiang. I remember you came from the Grand Line!"

"What! Coming from the Grand Line!"

Luffy's chattering drew everyone's attention to Yun Tianxiang, a man who was more beautiful than a woman. Yun Tianxiang was eating the meal that Sanji had just brought him. He heard Luffy's question, burped, and then said, "A bounty of tens of millions is just cannon fodder in the Grand Line. Fifty ships and five thousand people are just a bunch of lambs waiting to be shed."

"This kid is so arrogant. Is this the person from the Grand Line?"

"He's a Devil Fruit user, and he claims he can destroy this ship with one strike."

"A bounty of tens of millions is nothing but cannon fodder in the Grand Line!?"

Everyone present was shocked by the information they got from Yun Tianxiang.

"Chef, as one of the few pirates who escaped unscathed from the Grand Line, you should know that what I said is true." Looking at the suspicious eyes of the crowd, Yun Tianxiang ate his food while looking at Zeff who was standing beside him.

"Chef has been to the Grand Line!"

“And even got away with it!”

When the restaurant staff heard this information for the first time, they were all shocked.

"Yes. This kid is right. Pirates with bounties of tens of millions are swarming in the Grand Line. It is foolish to think that you can conquer that route with just military force." Zhepu clenched his fists and placed them flat on both sides of his body. He glanced at Yun Tianxiang and said, "Young man. Have you finished eating? If you have, please take your female companion and leave here."

"Leave? I refuse. The world's greatest swordsman is coming soon. Why should I leave?" Yun Tianxiang smiled faintly and rejected Zhepu's proposal righteously.

"The world's greatest swordsman?" When Zoro heard these words, his eyes became sharp.

"His nickname is Hawkeye. He has a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle. I came here to ask him for a favor."

Yun Tianxiang was worried about letting Nico Robin return to the Grand Line alone. He was 70% confident that he could defeat Hawkeye Mihawk.

Nico Robin looked at Yun Tianxiang suspiciously. Didn’t she remember that he came here to wait for a meeting with his companions?

(Former Admiral Zephyr had one of his hands chopped off by the ability user Whitebeard II. People with abilities have certain advantages over people without abilities. And Yun Tianxiang has the Sky Island Shell! A pure swordsman like Hawkeye is actually at a disadvantage.)

"Really? Is he really coming?" Zoro was already getting excited.

"We're here." Yun Tianxiang's observation Haki had already predicted the scene of the Dreadnought outside the restaurant being split into two.

Touch ~ coax ~

An explosion louder than the sound of Yun Tianxiang's sword destroying the pirate ship came from outside the restaurant.

Creek's huge main ship turned into a floating plank in an instant.

Among dozens of wreckages of the ship, a man sitting in a small boat appeared in front of everyone.

Creek's soldier: "Asshole! What grudge do we have against you? Why are you chasing us?"

Man on the boat: "Killing time."

Unconvinced, the Creek soldier pulled out his pistol and shot at the man on the boat. The man simply pulled out his knife, and the bullet hit the blade, then broke into two and flew away.

At some point, Zoro slowly walked behind the pirate soldier and explained the technique and reason behind Hawkeye's bullet blocking move.

The pirate soldier looked at Zoro in confusion: "Who are you?"

Zoro only had Hawkeye in his eyes. He ignored the soldiers beside him and said as if no one else was around: "I have never seen such a soft sword."

Hawkeye slowly retracted the knife and answered casually: "A sword that is not soft is not strong."

Zoro first gave a classic compliment, praising Hawkeye's strength, and then stated his purpose and ambition of going out to sea, as well as his invitation to a duel with Hawkeye.

Hawkeye didn't want to fight Zoro, but he still jumped onto the wooden board and stood in front of Zoro. Zoro was too weak, so weak that he really didn't have the mood to take it seriously. He stood in front of Zoro, with his arms folded, trying to use words to persuade this young man who didn't know how big the world was to give up his dream and give up fighting him.

Zoro ignored Hawkeye's dissuasion. He bit the sword at his waist in his mouth, held it in his hand, and then said seriously: "This is my dream, and it is also for the promise with a close friend."

"Yun Tianxiang. Our pirate ship was taken away by that orange girl."

At this time, Nico Robin on the warship took a look at the pirate ship sailing away and told Yun Tianxiang the news.

Nami. This stupid woman. Oh. Yun Tianxiang made a mistake. The treasure he prepared for Nico Robin was coveted by Nami, that little thief.

"I'm sorry, Robin. The treasure I prepared for you was stolen by another companion of mine." Yun Tianxiang said apologetically.

Nico Robin shook her head indifferently, "It doesn't matter. I don't care about treasure anyway."

"Thank you. Next, please watch carefully. Open the video, and I will give Hawkeye Mihawk a defeat!"

"Hmm?" Nico Robin heard Yun Tianxiang say that he would give Hawkeye Mihawk a defeat. She moved a chair with great interest and sat quietly on the deck, looking forward to Yun Tianxiang's performance. Next to her was the Sky Island Shell with the video function turned on.

After taking a lingering look at Nico Robin, Yun Tianxiang shifted his attention back to Hawkeye.

At this moment, Hawkeye pulled out the small knife hanging on the necklace around his neck and said the most pretentious sentence in the early One Piece.

"I'm sorry. I can't find a knife smaller than this one."
