One Piece: Rise of an Empire

A small boat sailed slowly into Daxia, but the soldiers of Daxia did not stop it, because they all knew this man, the man known as the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye, and they also knew that Hawkeye was a friend of the king and also a frequent visitor of Daxia.

Different from the past, there is a small pink seat next to the main seat on the originally dark coffin ship, which is the exclusive seat for Perona, and on the other side of Hawkeye is the swordsman and pirate hunter Sauron of the Straw Hats.

"Is this Da Xia?"

Sauron's excited voice sounded. After all, this is the territory of the New World Sea Emperor. How could he not be excited about their future goals.

"Hillbilly, you must be here for the first time. I am familiar with this place. Don't get lost, Daluzhi." Perona said.

"Damn it, I'm not a road idiot!" Sauron said angrily.

Hawkeye ignored the quarrel between the two, but said to the two, "Since we're here, let's visit Des."

des?Elianders?

Are you going to meet the emperor of the sea so early?

A look of excitement appeared on Sauron's face, but he said, "Will the rumored swordsman who is evenly matched with you be there too?"

Hawkeye looked at Sauron's excited face, and he didn't find it strange. For a swordsman, a stronger swordsman would often attract them more.

Hawkeye nodded.

"Levy should be there too, but you still don't want to fight him now, after all, the difference is too far away." Hawkeye said.

"I'm not arrogant enough to challenge such a powerful swordsman now, but in the future, including you, I will also lose to my sword."

Hawkeye was not offended at Sauron's words, and if Sauron had not challenged their power later, he would not teach him now.

"What an arrogant guy," Perona said.

Hawkeye's ship continued on its way, heading towards the imperial capital.

---------

Inside the palace.

Des, Levi and Linlin are discussing the country's affairs. Although Des's practice has not been interrupted, compared with the time devoted to practice before, it can be said that it is very little now. Dealing with state affairs has already taken up a large part of Des's time. Coupled with the time spent with his family, Des's daily practice time is only a small part.

What's more, no matter how much he practiced now, he couldn't surpass the ceiling of this world, and his strength had already reached the peak of this world.

Although a person's strength can be powerful, it is limited after all.

Now Ariel and others are already transforming their bodies, and Des spends all his time with his family on the country.

At this moment, a guard came in and said respectfully to Des and the others: "My lord, my lord Linlin, Marshal Levi, Hawkeye wants to see you outside."

"Oh? Hawkeye, let him in quickly," Des said.

The guard who received the order quickly went out to inform Hawkeye and the others. After a while, Hawkeye walked in with Sauron and Perona.

"Hey! It's been a long time since Hawkeye, why do you have time to come here to see me today?"

Of course Des noticed Sauron beside him, but the current Sauron did not deserve his attention. Only when a person is really strong or has a high status can he be valued by others.

"It's nothing, it's just that Perona wants to come here. I think since I'm here, I'll come and take a look, but it seems that you have no problem." Speaking of Hawkeye, he looked at Linlin at the same time. He also saw the report in the newspaper.

"Thank you for your concern, but we have no problems in Daxia now, but who is the man next to you?" Des asked.

Hawkeye also looked at Sauron. Sauron's gaze was not on Des at this time. He thought that Aliandes would not be the one who would fight him in the future, but their captain Luffy.He believed that Luffy would win, and his opponent was the man next to Des, who was also a powerful swordsman, someone he had to defeat.

Of course Levi noticed Sauron's warlike eyes, but since he was brought by Hawkeye, Levi had no reason to do anything.

But this kid is really good. As a swordsman, he is not only not nervous but full of fighting spirit when facing him.

"cough~"

With Hawkeye coughing, Sauron's thoughts were pulled back.Hawkeye said: "This is the disciple I just received, the swordsman Sauron of the straw hat gang. He is a very ambitious man."

Hearing Hawkeye's words, Des said with a smile: "Ambition? Hahahaha, he doesn't want to become the world's number one swordsman, does he? Are you trying to train someone who can defeat you?"

Hawkeye neither denied nor admitted.

"Ms. Linlin, your lunch is here~~~"

At this moment, Zoro heard a familiar voice, and everyone looked at the kitchen, only to see Sanji walking out with food.

"Cook!" Sauron yelled.

Sanji also heard Zoro's voice, and also looked at Sanji and shouted loudly: "Green algae head!"

The eyes of the two were tit for tat.

"What's going on, why are you here?" Sauron asked.

At this time, Sanji ignored Zoro, but walked to Linlin with light steps and put down the food. Linlin nodded and said, "Thank you, Sanji."

Hearing Linlin's words, Sanji's eyes turned into the shape of a heart, and he said, "Ms. Linlin who has become younger is more attractive, but Ms. Linlin, who was mature before, is also attractive~"

Seeing Sanji's arrival, Des said to Hawkeye: "Since we're here, let's have a meal together. This is the chef we just hired in the Great Xia Palace. His skills are very good."

Hawkeye found a seat without any hesitation and sat down.

At this time, Zoro looked angry, Sanji is really haunted, you can meet him everywhere, it's too hateful.

---------

After eating, Zoro and Sanji walked outside the palace. Sanji lit a cigarette and said to Zoro, "Green algae, you have received Luffy's password, right?"

Sauron nodded and said, "Of course, but why are you here?"

"I am, I am in the sky... [Talk about the experience]"

When Sanji finished talking about his experience, Zoro said angrily: "You guys really didn't stay here for the beauty?"

"How is it possible, I am very strong now, I can hit at least three of you."

"Are you kidding, I can hit you four!"

"...five you!"

"... six of you!"

The two argued for a while, and stopped arguing. Zoro said lightly to Sanji: "Cook, make yourself stronger. The next time we meet, the goal is to let Luffy sit on that throne."

"Do you need to say that?"
