The sudden scene made the Baboon King stunned in place and unable to react.
All it could do was watch Hawkeye's black sword magnify quickly in its pupils.
Swish! An unexpected sound of air being torn apart rang out behind the Baboon King.
That familiar huge black sword, wrapped in lightning light, stabbed straight at the black sword, which Hawkeye was slashing out with, at a tricky angle.
With one strike, it was like lightning light shooting out, giving people a feeling of being overwhelmed.
Bang! The muffled sound of metal colliding echoed. As lightning light and sparks spurted out, a tyrannical explosive storm rolled back.
Hawkeye's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly drew back the black sword in his hand and quickly spread Busoshoku Haki to cover the Black Sword Night quickly.
After finishing all of this, Hawkeye turned his gaze and landed on Kai and said, "Using the lightning power that erupts in an instant to form a huge impact, this is a means of attacking that destroys the blade."
"I didn't expect that the Marine supernova, Laxus, who has caused a stir, would appear in my desolate place and also be a swordsmanship master."
Hawkeye was secluded in one place, but his sources of information were also well-informed.
What's more, the ups and downs that Kai had caused on the Sabaody Archipelago with the Laxus character template weren't any less than any major incident.
"Hawkeye, you're laughing at me. My sword moves are just showing off in front of you." Kai smiled kindly and threw the huge Black Sword Night in his hand to the Baboon King, who had a face full of confusion.
In its simple mind, it couldn't figure out why the huge black sword, which it had been carrying on its back, had fallen into Kai's hands.
"You're too modest."
Watching Kai return the huge black sword, Hawkeye also withdrew the released Busoshoku Haki and sheathed the black sword.
He walked straight to behind the bar, took out a clean cup, poured the freshly brewed black tea into it, and said, "During this period of time, the Marine Headquarters has suffered setbacks one after another and lost too much face. Your sudden rise is an unexpected variable for this sea."
"However, I heard that you're being pursued by the Beast Pirates. You suddenly landed on the Ruins Kingdom. It wouldn't be as simple as just finding me, a pirate, to chat, would it?"
"Or is it that the Marine Headquarters has let you bring me the so-called Shichibukai treaty again?"
Speaking of this, Hawkeye shook his head and said, "I've already exerted my strength in the matter of besieging Wald, so I don't need to listen to any of your summons orders for the next year."
Among the Shichibukai, if Tyrant Kuma was the most obedient errand boy, and Crocodile and Doflamingo were unruly existences, then Hawkeye was the one who liked to slack off the most.
He would definitely arrive for every summons order.
He would come on stage, swing the big sword a few times, and then come off stage. He neither killed anyone nor used his true skills.
But it gave people a feeling that there was no way to find fault with him.
Therefore, looking around the Marine and even the World Government, it was difficult for anyone to find fault with him.
"Don't worry. I'm here just to borrow the Baboon King from you." Kai took the black tea, took a sip, and looked at the Baboon King, who was behind him and had a ferocious look.
"You want to borrow it?"
Hawkeye couldn't help but be stunned.
In his eyes, Laxus had gone to great lengths to run to the Ruins Kingdom. He should have been trying to avoid being pursued by the Beast Pirates.
Right now, he suddenly wanted to borrow the Baboon King from him. This undoubtedly gave people a feeling of being intriguing.
"Hawkeye, don't be surprised." Kai turned his head back and said, "I heard what you said just now."
"The Baboon King has extraordinary learning abilities and has imitated all of your lifelong studies, but the two colors of Haki are a threshold for him. Unless he possesses a Zoan-type, Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit, it might be able to open his intelligence and allow his strength to take a step further."
"However, as far as I know, the Human-Human Fruit has already been eaten, so it will be difficult for the Baboon King to learn the two colors of Haki."
"Human-Human Fruit?" Hawkeye was stunned slightly and said, "I didn't expect that you would even know these things."
"Since you know that the Baboon King's potential is limited, why do you still want to get it?"
"The Baboon King has indeed imitated my lifelong swordsmanship, but without the premise of Haki, his strength can only be compared to ordinary Marine rear admirals on the sea, which isn't very useful to you."
In Hawkeye's eyes, imitation and mastery were two completely different levels of definition.
Imitation was just a superficial resemblance and didn't have the spirit.
Only by deeply mastering a person's swordsmanship inheritance could the power of Hawkeye's swordsmanship be unleashed.
For this point, Hawkeye believed that the young man in front of him would definitely not be unclear.
"What others can't do doesn't mean I can't do it." Kai put down the teacup in his hand.
"I believe that the Baboon King should be a descendant of the Mink Tribe's bloodline. He's been trapped on this island for too long. With such high talent, it's too much of a pity to leave him here, don't you think?"
"The most important point is that you should have also heard why the Marine Headquarters made an exception to recruit me, right!"
The slightly lengthy words echoed in the hall and couldn't be dispelled for a long time.
The years that the Mink Tribe had existed were about the same as humans.
At least, no one knew how many years Zou had lived.
Similarly, no one knew how many members of the Mink Tribe had come out of Zou.
No one knew how many descendants had multiplied outside either.
However, according to Kai's guess, with such high talent and strong fighting power, the Baboon King might have a bloodline connection with the Mink Tribe.
With this trace of a relationship, Kai could try to use Ainz's talent of reshaping bloodlines to allow the Baboon King to return to his ancestors.
"It seems that the news that's been spreading in the Marine Headquarters isn't false. No wonder even Zephyr is eager to recruit you into the Marine recruit camp and replace his position."
Hawkeye put down the teacup in his hand and said, "However, you helping me train the Baboon King like this shouldn't be that simple, right?"
As someone who had been sailing the sea alone for a long time and had been able to survive until now and reach the position of the world's greatest swordsman, he clearly knew that there was no free lunch in this world.
"Hawkeye, you're a smart man." Kai smiled and patted the dust off his body and said, "Kaido of the Beasts will catch up to me soon."
"Faced with him, the current me doesn't have the slightest chance of winning, so I hope that you can guide my swordsmanship or, rather, fight me."
Fight you? Hawkeye seemed a bit surprised.
He had never expected that Kai's true purpose was to imitate some of the superficial aspects of swordsmanship from him, just like the Baboon King.
The most important point was that he was able to remain so calm under Kaido of the Beasts's personal pursuit.
Looking around this sea, probably only Kai could do it. This bit of confidence and courage could be said to be remarkable.
