Chapter 5

The banquet was over, but the ship was still sailing, and Bardock was busy helping to pack up. He had already found out that Shanks' date was with Hawkeye Jorakor Mihawk, the top swordsman on the sea. He didn't seem to be the world's number one swordsman at the moment, but the thought of their clash made Bardock's blood boil.

"Hey, Bardock, follow me, I'll take you to where I live." Laki Lu smiled and waved, signaling Bardock to follow him.

"Here, I think you need this." At the door of the cabin, Laki Lu handed over a package.

Bardock took it and saw that it was a new set of clothes. The size seemed to fit him well. He didn't know where Laki Lu found it.

"Thank you, Laki Lu. I finally don't have to look like a savage."

"Haha, you should have a good rest. Let's exchange barbecue skills when we have time."

"Of course, no problem. In fact, I only know how to barbecue. I want to learn a few tricks from you."

...

Two days passed in a flash. During these two days, Bardock got to know everyone on the ship and a real monkey. In addition to the characters he knew from reading comics before, he also met some new characters. The most interesting thing was that Bardock also saw Shanks' adopted daughter, the future big singer-Uta.

Although Uta is young, she is a musician of the Red Hair Pirates. She has been wearing headphones and seems to have eaten the Song-Song Fruit. Her singing is really beautiful and will make people immerse themselves in it unconsciously.

Once, Bardock was so absorbed in what he was hearing that he shouted, "Uta, I want to have a baby with you."

God knows, this is just a joke, but Shanks doesn't care.

"You guy, Uta won't have a baby with you," Shanks, the old father, was like Nami possessed, and he hit Bardock's head with three lumps, duang, duang, duang, three times.

"Shanks, what is a baby?"

Uta's question undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and Shanks hit Bardock's head with three lumps, duang, duang, duang.

Looking at the big lumps on Bardock's head, the crew laughed.

Bardock felt the previous few hits and admired Shanks' strength. He was hit before he could react.

"Shanks, what is my strength on the sea?"

This is what Bardock wanted to know a long time ago, otherwise he would not be sure about the next action.

"Boy, strength is not a matter of numbers. Come on, hit my palm with all your strength." Shanks raised his palm.

Bardock was not polite either, and transformed into the Monkey King form. In this form, he has the greatest strength, the strongest defense, and the maximum attack. He punched with all his strength. This punch was fierce, but the effect was mediocre. Shanks' palm didn't even move back a bit.

Because he was prepared, Bardock was not surprised. He was indeed too young now.

"Your current attack is as powerful as a pirate captain I fought before with a bounty of 35 million, but your defense is far better than his. But the bounty can only be used as a reference. Well, it's already quite impressive for your age."

"35 million? I wonder if it's as powerful as Luffy's when he first went to sea. But I can still grow huge, so my combat power can be improved a bit." Bardock thought, "I still need actual combat. I haven't beaten anyone yet."

...

At noon that day, the Red Hair Pirates finally met Hawkeye Mihawk on a deserted island about half a day's sail from the Sabaody Archipelago. This deserted island is so deserted and small, it feels like the size of a football field. No wonder they chose this place to fight, and they didn't feel bad if they were damaged.

Hawkeye Mihawk's image is very similar to what Bardock knows about him more than a decade later, except that he has no beard on his face, which is a youth version.

"Mihawk, long time no see, are you going to have a party?" Shanks always does this, finding excuses to have a party.

"Shanks, the party can be held anytime. Let's compete first. I haven't had a good time in a long time."

Hawkeye's tone was still calm, but he began to get excited. There were too few people on the sea who could compete with him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the famous sword Night, which was shaped like a cross behind him, was in his hand. Mihawk exuded a sharp aura.

Bardock saw that Night was not a black sword, and guessed that Hawkeye had not yet reached the top of the world.

Seeing this, Shanks also became serious and drew out Griffin to prepare for battle.

On the boat

Everyone was well prepared, and sailed away from the battlefield with Hawkeye's boat. Seeing everyone's skilled movements, it seemed that this was not the first time.

Bardock transformed into the Monkey King and used his Fiery Eyes. He wanted to watch the entire competition without missing a single detail, and use their movements as a template for future sword practice.

The time travel greatly improved Bardock's memory, and he should be able to see their fighting movements clearly when he used his Fiery Eyes with all his strength. If he didn't steal their skills, he would be sorry for the big boss who sent him through time.

Hawkeye and Shanks simultaneously slashed at each other with a flying slash, and the two huge slashes consumed each other between the two, and finally disappeared at the same time.

When the four emperors met, they would fight with the domineering color to crack the sky, and the great swordsmen would also start with flying slashes.

Then, the two began to rush to each other for close combat.

Hawkeye's attack was powerful and heavy, and he would attack the enemy with great skill and save him. Shanks was a different style. He was a left-handed sword, as fast as lightning, with a tricky angle, and no lack of power. These two are really a match made in heaven.

As the battle continued, the aftermath of the two people's battle became stronger and stronger, and occasionally there were several flying slashes that cut through the sea and flew straight into the distance.

Suddenly, Bardock was shocked. A slash actually flew straight to the pirate ship on which everyone was riding. Before he could exclaim, a figure jumped up and broke the slash with one blow. It was not until the figure fell back on the ship that Bardock saw that this person was Beckman, the vice captain of the Red Hair Pirates.

"It's really messy, these two guys..., drive the ship further away." Beckman ordered the crew calmly. The crew responded in unison, without panic or confusion. It should be said that they are worthy of being the future royal group.

This competition lasted from noon to sunset. At this time, Mihawk and Shanks stood opposite each other and did not rush to fight.

"Mihawk, it's getting dark, let's decide the outcome with one move. The next move is very powerful, and I can't control it very well, so be careful."

"Wait and see, Shanks."

"God of War!"

"..."

There was a roar between heaven and earth, and Bardock in the distance clearly saw that the two swords did not collide, and the air between the two swords shook violently, and the roar came from this. This is exactly the effect of the domineering color entanglement and the external release of the armed color domineering that only a few people on the sea have mastered.
