There was only one slow-witted kid.
"The world's greatest swordsman, is he very powerful? If I go and kill him, will I surpass Kuina?" said Zoro.
"Bang!" Kuina smashed Zoro's head with a wooden sword, and a big bump quickly appeared.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Zoro was furious.
"The world's greatest swordsman is the strongest swordsman in the world, possessing the most powerful swordsmanship. He is feared by all swordsmen in the world and someone they all want to surpass."
"Since you want to surpass him, why should you be in awe of him?" Zoro disagreed.
Listening to the boasts of several people in the distance, Koshiro was speechless. Is it really okay for his students to be so arrogant? He had fought that man before, and even he, at his peak, lost by a single move.
But that wasn't the man's peak state at all.
Koshiro was holding a newspaper in his hand, which reported the news that the Seven Warlords of the Sea were about to sign. Wasn't the image of one of the men on it the one the students were discussing?
Little did they know that the man in the Shimotsuki Gym was actually staring at a man named Jiang Bo, on the sea just a few hundred miles away from the Navy Headquarters.
......
Marinford is two hundred nautical miles to the north.
"Lucifer Jiangbo, what can I do for you?" Hawkeye looked indifferently at the young man standing on the sea.
"Hello, Hawkeye. I came to see you because I have a favor to ask of you!" Jiang Bo said to Hawkeye.
"Not interested!" Hawkeye didn't even get up, sitting on the boat with his head down, controlling the boat forward.
"I haven't told you yet, how do you know you're not interested?" Jiang Bo asked back.
"As fellow Shichibukai, you should know what will happen if two people get too close to each other?" Mihawk remained indifferent.
"I know, but I believe you must be interested in my affairs!" Jiang Bo smiled faintly.
Hawkeye ignored him, the boat continued to move forward, and Jiang Bo stood on the side of the boat.
"In the East China Sea, a man named Shanks lost an arm!" Jiang Bo said shockingly, and the boat stopped abruptly, as if it was a person, not a boat.
"How do you know?" Hawkeye turned his head.
"I have my own sources of information. Besides, I have another piece of news to tell you. In the East China Sea, there is a man named Buggy, who has the ability of the Split Fruit. His strength is unknown, but I know that as the world's greatest swordsman, you can chop him with all your strength and he will remain unharmed." Jiang Bo said with a smile.
"As the world's greatest swordsman, you can't even kill a devil fruit user. Isn't that a bit ridiculous? It seems that your sword can't transcend the rules."
"Do you want to die? Lucifer Jiang Bo." A huge blade of energy slashed directly at Jiang Bo. Jiang Bo did not retreat. His head turned black, pushing the blade of energy away. He turned his head to look at the sea surface, which was split open by the blade of energy.
Hawkeye frowned.
Jiang Bo knew that the last thing a proud person would allow others to do was to question what he was most proud of, but Jiang Bo had to show enough strength to gain Hawkeye's attention, otherwise even with the identity of Shichibukai, he would be just a passerby in Hawkeye's eyes.
"Now I can tell you my story!" Jiang Bo shrugged.
"In the first half of the Grand Line, there is a magic sword in the temple on Askah Island. I want to get it, but the magic sword is spiritual and contains powerful resentment. Ordinary people cannot control it. Only a powerful swordsman can disperse it with his will. So I came to you. I think you also want to try the power of the magic sword." Jiang Bo said.
"It sounds interesting, but why should I do this?" Hawkeye was indifferent as usual, but he was very interested in the so-called magic sword in his heart.
"Because it was the information I shared!" Jiang Bo took it for granted.
"Since it's a demonic sword, you can't use it even if I tame it! You're wasting it!"
"Then you don't have to worry about it. I just want to get him." Jiang Bo said helplessly.
"But I'm not in the habit of working for others. I'll go by myself. Leave before I get impatient." Hawkeye was about to sail away after understanding the situation.
"You can't tame it yourself. If you fail, you will become a puppet of the Demon Sword. My reward for you is information, plus I will suppress you if you lose control. You should understand how much damage it would cause to the world if the world's greatest swordsman lost control and was enslaved by the Demon Sword!"
Hawkeye was unhappy, thinking that Jiang Bo was looking down on him, but if the sword could make one of the Seven Warlords lose confidence in the world's greatest swordsman, then there must be something strange about it!
"Someone will pull out this knife sooner or later, and the only scabbard that can purify this knife is with me. I need you to defeat it, and I will purify it. Could it be that the world's greatest swordsman is afraid of a knife?" Jiang Bo used provocation, but this method was surprisingly effective.
"Okay, I can agree to it, but I want to know what kind of strength the person who boasts that he can suppress me has!" Hawkeye finally got angry, stood up from the boat, and pulled out the black knife behind him.
"Haha, I couldn't ask for more. I'd feel a bit uneasy if I didn't fight you!"
