When Crocodile left, another battle also came to an end!

Rapeseed, a port city in Alabasta, three hundred miles east.

This was originally a desert full of yellow sand without anything special.

But since two people arrived half a day ago, this place has turned into a battlefield, a battlefield filled with sword energy and flying sand.

However, after half a day, the place stopped again.

At this time, in the middle of the battlefield, Hawkeye and Shura were lying side by side.

"Whoop whoosh!"

"Whoop whoosh!"

The two men's heavy breathing sounded intertwined here.

Well, it's not like the two of them did anything shameful, it's just that they were too tired after fighting for a long time!

"You...you...become...stronger!" Hawkeye gasped and said excitedly.

"Haha, you...also...yes!" Shura also panted heavily and replied with a smile.

During the fight here for most of the day, neither of them used any flashy moves, nor any powerful moves. They just used hand knives against black knives, colliding, colliding again, and constantly colliding!

But it is precisely this most primitive fighting method that can more intuitively reflect the progress of the two people in terms of combat effectiveness, and also gives them a sense of confidence in each other's progress.

"Hey, Mihawk, let me tell you something!" Shura turned his head and looked sincerely at Hawkeye lying next to him and said.

Although the two met only twice, for people like them, two times is enough to understand a person, so Shura naturally called Mihawk by name like an old friend.

"Say!" Hawkeye said bluntly.

"Are you interested in joining our kingdom?" Shura asked with a smile.

Join the kingdom?

Without any hesitation, Hawkeye shook his head and said, "I don't want to join any kingdom, my heart is only on my sword!"

"Don't you want to hear the benefits of joining our kingdom?" Shura asked with a hint of meaning.

"No, no matter what the benefits are, I don't want to join!" Hawkeye still refused.

For him, benefits and interests are not important, only the sword is the most important!

"Even a great swordsman with general-level combat power can't personally guide him?" Shura asked with a smile.

A great swordsman at the level of a general!?

Shura's words hit Eagle Eye's heart instantly!

"Is there such a strong person in your kingdom?" Hawkeye couldn't help but ask.

He is very interested in strong people, especially those in swordsmanship!

"Yes!" Shura nodded and said, "His Majesty the King's grandfather was a strong man in swordsmanship. He was a famous swordsman in the West Sea decades ago! Later, he returned to the kingdom and never

When he goes out again, his reputation will be lost, but his swordsmanship and strength have been steadily rising!"

"What's his name?" Hawkeye couldn't help but ask again.

"Yamamoto Shigekuni!" Shura paused and then added, "Well, it used to be called this, but now it's called Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni!"

"Yamamoto Shigekuni..." After murmuring a few words, Hawkeye began to think.

In this world, he has most of the swordsmen and great swordsmen in his memory, whether they are past or present, because in his opinion, everyone who can become a swordsman or a great swordsman has his own

Unique places are goals worth challenging!

After thinking for a moment, Hawkeye's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly, "Is it Yamamoto Shigekuni, the swordsman who was famous in the West Sea decades ago?"

"Yan Jianhao?" After thinking for a moment, Shura shook his head and said, "I don't know if he is Yan Jianhao, but I know that Yamamoto-sama's sword energy is indeed quite hot!"

Well, it was hot before, but it’s even hotter now!

He can actually boil the sea!

Although he has not personally experienced it, he has personally experienced the water vapor that filled the air when Shiki the Golden Lion fought with Shigekuni Yamamoto Genryusai!

If water vapor can be diffused from such a distant battle, what is that if it's not boiling the sea?

"That must be Yan Jianhao!" Eagle Eye confirmed.

"Okay, whether it's true or not, what do you think of my proposal?" Shura said seriously.

I have to say that the advice from a general-level swordsman really made Eagle Eye's heart flutter!

But he thought about it and finally shook his head and said, "It still won't work!"

"Why?" Shura asked doubtfully.

"My heart is free, and my sword is free. Although your proposal is very tempting, I don't want to let it bind my heart and my sword, preventing me from ascending to the highest level I have ever seen.

Top!" Hawkeye said solemnly.

Then, he changed his words and showed a confident smile on his face, saying, "And... I believe that even without anyone's guidance, my sword can be stronger than others!"

Seeing his confident smile, Shura stopped trying to persuade him. He smiled and said, "I believe you!"

In fact, he had already guessed that Hawkeye would not be able to join the kingdom, but as a member of the kingdom, facing a talent like Hawkeye, he always felt a little unwilling without asking!

at this time.

Shura had a flash of inspiration!

He seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but smile on his face, and said excitedly, "You don't want to join the kingdom because you are afraid that the kingdom will constrain you and force you to do something you don't want to do, right?"

"Yeah!" Hawkeye nodded with a puzzled look on his face.

"In that case, please be a guest!" Shura stretched out his hand, patted Hawkeye on the shoulder, and solemnly invited him.

"Ke Qing? What do you mean?" Eagle Eye asked in confusion.

In this world, there is no such position as guest minister!

"Ke Qing means that you join our kingdom in name, but in fact, the kingdom does not ask you to do anything and will give you some conveniences. But when the kingdom is in crisis, you must step forward and help the kingdom!"

"Normally, if the kingdom wants you to do something, it will pay a price, and then let you choose whether to agree or not, but whether you agree or not, it will not have any impact!" Shura explained.

The idea of ​​"Ke Qing" was suddenly thought of by Shura!

This word was also something he heard when he was a child and listened to Arthur telling stories!

After all, it was a story. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, let alone ask what Ke Qing meant, so the Ke Qing he refers to now is his own understanding of Ke Qing!

"My guest..." Hawkeye murmured a few words and began to think.

I have to say that Ke Qing's proposal really made his heart flutter.

"What about the great swordsman's guidance you mentioned before..." Hawkeye pondered for a moment and asked.

As soon as he said this, Shura knew that the matter was done!

Thinking about it, what Shura calls a guest is much less restrictive than becoming a King's Shichibukai. Even Hawkeye can accept it, so there's no reason why he can't accept it as a guest!

Shura responded with a smile, "As long as you agree, I will tell your Majesty, and I think your Majesty will not refuse!"

Well, Ke Qing, this is just a temporary idea of ​​his own, so not only did he say this, he also asked Arthur if this idea, Ke Qing, was okay!

Of course, in Shura's view, it is almost impossible for the talented Arthur to refuse this proposal!
