Section 203

Ron said, his figure gradually floated up.

While floating over Hawkeye Mihawk.

A life card floated in front of Hawkeye.

He reached out and took it.

"This is my life card. You can rely on this to find me later."

Ron's voice faded away.

Hawkeye Mihawk looked down at the life card in his hand. On his usually cold face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "He would actually give the life card to an opponent who had just fought once... an interesting man."

"Did you have a lot of fun playing... I haven't had this much fun in many years."

Mihawk looked at the direction Ron left in the distance.

At this moment, his heart, which had been silent for a long time, was excited like never before in the past ten years, and as a swordsman, his blood was boiling.

He hadn't felt this feeling for a long time.

"You probably still have a lot of strength that you haven't shown yet... your domineering power and your sword moves."

"When the next competition comes, it will really be an all-out battle. Who is the best swordsman in the world..."

"It seems like we won't be bored anymore on this sea... Night."

Behind him, the world's strongest black sword screamed in the night.

As if agreeing with what he said.

One person, one boat and one sword slowly disappeared into the night sea.

…………

When Ron returned to the Sea Restaurant.

Creek and others who wanted to rob this sea restaurant before have been defeated by Luffy.

"Ron!"

In the surprised eyes of Luffy and Nami.

Ron fell from the air and landed on the wreckage of the ship that was cut open by Hawkeye's sword.

Zoro, whose upper body was tied with gauze and sitting cross-legged on the ground, stared at him closely:

"It's really you, Ron..."

Ron, with his eyes closed, faced his direction and smiled at him:

"Long time no see, Zoro, you have become stronger."

His black coat with several cuts on his body and half-long black hair were gently blowing in the night wind.

The people in the Haihai Restaurant looked at his back through the glass and said with a trembling tone:

"Did the battle between him and Hawkeye end?"

"What is going on?!"

"Who won? Mihawk, Hawkeye, or... him?"

"Is the title of the world's greatest swordsman going to change hands?"

The black-haired young man looked gentle and calm, without any evil aura, but

It makes people feel horrified when they think that some of those earth-shattering slashes during the day were made by his hands.

Zoro listened to his words and laughed at himself: "Have I become stronger? But I am still far behind you. I still failed to fulfill the promise I made in the Tao coffin."

But at this time, Sauron seemed to have untied some knot in his heart. He no longer struggled with this, but chose to face himself.

He looked up at Ron in front of him and said extremely seriously:

"You helped me heal my wounds, thank you very much."

"Don't worry, it's just a little effort, and I only speeded up the healing of your wounds, but didn't completely cure you."

"Even so, it's a big help."

Zoro said seriously.

He changed his words.

"Your eyes, don't you mind?"

Ron gently touched his eyes with his fingers and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, you will be able to open them after a while."

"Is that so?"

Sauron nodded, then asked again:

"Is Kuina okay? Is she with you?"

"Everything is fine with Kuina. She should be in the Shampoo Islands on the Grand Line now."

Standing outside the door of the Haihai Restaurant, Sanji had a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the two people talking, listening to their conversation, and became very angry.

"That green algae-headed bastard doesn't ask about important things and insists on saying thank you. It's really useless!"

The others had the same idea, glaring fiercely at the green algae-headed swordsman.

Ask me the important questions first, you bastard!

Finally, Zoro asked the question they were most concerned about.

"Who won the duel between you and that guy?"

Red-footed Tetsuo, Sanji, Akin, Luffy, Nami and everyone in the restaurant on the sea were staring at Ron, waiting for his answer.

"If we were to fight purely with swordsmanship, it would be a draw."

Ron smiled.

Everyone was slightly shocked.

A tie... or not?

"We are tied in swordsmanship with the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk..."

Some people swallowed and looked at the slender figure with a shocked expression.

"In other words, does he also have swordsmanship that is comparable to the world's greatest swordsman?!"

No. 1 in the world.

The weight of this word is not ordinary.

That is the highest peak that countless swordsmen strive to climb.

There is only room for one throne in that cold, high place.

Although Zoro had already made a prediction in his mind, hearing the news from Ron still shocked him slightly, and he looked at the person in front of him with a somewhat complicated look.

Back then, he and Kuina had agreed that no matter who they were, one of them would defeat Ron and become the world's number one swordsman. Unexpectedly, their words had come true now.

Defeating Ron and becoming the world's best swordsman became one thing...

Luffy, wearing a straw hat, crossed his arms and looked at Ron with a smile:

"Is he number one in the world...it's really amazing!"

Nami, who was standing next to Luffy, looked at Ron and murmured to herself: "He is always getting stronger and surpassing others. How could he not be powerful..."

Back then, he told Nami that there were many people in the sea who were stronger than Aaron, and even stronger than him at that time.

But now, those guys who were stronger than him at that time have gradually been surpassed by him, and then they were left far behind by him, and even his back could not be seen.

Nami looked at the back, feeling an inexplicable strong feeling in her heart.

One day, he will surpass all the strong men in this world and reach a height that is unreachable by all living beings...

…

(Also, later)

180, Crazy Dasqi

Ron and Zoro had a long talk on the wreckage of the ship, asking about the situation of the gym and Koshiro, but it was generally okay.

After learning from Ron that Kuina had reached the level of a great swordsman in swordsmanship, Zoro's face darkened: "Sure enough, I still can't meet her now."

Afterwards, Ron chatted with Luffy again.

After learning that Sabo was not dead and was now in the Revolutionary Army, and that Ace had joined the Whitebeard Pirates.

Luffy was very happy.

"I really look forward to the four of us getting together on the sea again in the future, hehehehe."

…

The second half of the night.

Nami was sitting on the roof of Barati, a restaurant on the sea, with Ron lying next to her.
