15 You Guys are Amazing, Let Me Swim to the Head Office of Marineford

Chapter 15: You Guys are Amazing, Let Me Swim to the Head Office of Marineford!

Buggy went straight to Solo and announced loudly that he would surrender and turn himself in. In fact, it's just a stopgap measure for Buggy. Hawkeye's identity is a Shichibukai, a pirate recognized by the World Government.

But that recognition comes at a cost. For example, a Shichibukai needs to pay a certain amount of tribute to the World Government and can not conflict with the marine.

In other words, as long as he falls into the hands of the marines. Naturally, Hawkeye couldn't attack him anymore, and when Hawkeye leaves, how can a marine like Solo restrain him?

Just thinking about it makes Buggy feel like a genius. On the contrary, Solo had a black line on his face. It's okay for him to surrender, but he had no intention of arresting Buggy at all.

"Sorry, I can't arrest you now. If you want to surrender, I suggest you go to Loguetown."

Solo still sat on the barrel, said in a calm tone, and then pointed in a random direction. Indicating that Buggy can reach Loguetown as long as he starts in that direction.

Buggy: "???"

The next second, Buggy separated his hands from his wrists and flew out to grab Solo's collar.

"Hey, you do realize that I'm the great pirate, "Buggy the Clown"?" with a bounty of 15 million, right? What's the matter with your tone, arresting me with your own hands is a great achievement!" Buggy said angrily, very dissatisfied with Solo's attitude.

However, due to the sword intent, he felt just now, Hawkeye immediately lost interest in Buggy. He stood on the deck of the patrol boat and looked around, but found no decent target. Therefore, Hawkeye had no choice but to ask, "Who is the one who blocked my slash?"

"Slash?" Buggy was taken aback for a moment and suddenly recalled.

When he met Hawkeye just now, this guy wanted to cut him. However, relying on the ability of his Chop-Chop Fruit, that terrifying slash directly passed through his body.

Thinking about it, the direction that the slash was released seemed to be this patrol boat. However, with such a powerful slash, the patrol boat was safe and sound.

Thinking of this, Buggy looked at the pirate who followed him. These people are mediocre, if they can block Hawkeye's attack, then they will be the next Pirate King.

As a result, the pirates present all turned their heads to look at Solo. In this silent way, Hawkeye responded, "Is that you?"

Buggy blinked vigorously, his hand holding on to Solo's collar suddenly let go, and his body couldn't help taking a few steps back.

"Well, although I don't know why you are looking at me like that, it's obviously not my doing." Solo got up from the barrel, showing an innocent expression, "I'm just an ordinary marine."

"I was originally responsible for escorting these pirates to the 153rd branch, but I encountered a rebellion halfway. The other marines were all killed, and only I was left as a hostage. If you don't believe me, no matter how you search, it is impossible to find a second marine." Solo quickly explained, portraying that he was a victim.

On the contrary, the pirates present were dumbfounded and confused about the situation in front of them.

Obviously, you're the one who did it! How could we, with these many pairs of eyes be wrong?

"As you can see, if I'm really a swordsman, how can I use such an ordinary katana?" Solo weighed his weapon and showed it to Hawkeye, trying to prove to Hawkeye and others that he has nothing to do with the situation just now.

The other pirates were even more confused, crazily complaining about Solo's shamelessness.

What is he—how dare you say such a thing without shame! Could it be that we blocked Hawkeye's attack?! What a joke!

Although these pirates were very mad in their hearts, they didn't know what to say for a while.

What can we even say? Let's just complain about his thick face!

Even Buggy couldn't help but start to wonder if there was really some powerful master hidden among his crew.

Is there someone who's pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? (1)

But Hawkeye didn't bother to reason about who was lying. Seeing that no one acknowledged it, he simply took off the black blade behind him. A chill descended on the deck, and the pirates couldn't help but hold their breath, only feeling that the temperature had dropped a lot.

"Since no one wants to admit it then use the easiest way."

With a low voice, Hawkeye clenched the black blade with one hand, swung it vigorously, and pointed the tip of the blade at the deck.

His thinking was straightforward and anyone knows about it. He was planning to use the method of destroying the ship to force out that swordsman just now.

All the pirates couldn't help but started to hold their heads in their hands and looked at Solo as if they were asking him for help.

When things got to this point, Solo might not be this indifferent, right?

The patrol boat was at sea for several days, it was already very far away from Loguetown and even if he has officially reached the Grand Line, without an Eternal Pose, there is no other way to reach the next island!

The most important thing is, even if Solo has an Eternal Pose on his body, without the patrol boat, can he still swim there?

If they want to go to the next island, they must pass through the Red Line, and only by finding the right ocean current can they cross the Red Line. In the hearts of the pirates, Solo has reached the moment when he has to take action, he directly raised his hand.

"Mr. Dracule Mihawk, please wait a moment," Solo said slowly as he stepped forward and walked toward the edge of the deck.

What the hell are these guys doing? I just want to go to Marineford quietly and be an ordinary marine. If I am lucky, I will be kicked out of the branch because I'm not active in training. I have no interest in fighting against the strong in the world of "One Piece" at all!

Moreover, even though Hawkeye is a Shichibukai, he is the number one swordsman in the world, and that kind of thing, of course, can't be selected by rock, paper, and scissor!

His strength must be very, very, very terrifying! If he really fights him, his true strength may be exposed!

"Okay, you are all brothers here. I can't afford to offend you all so I'll just swim directly from here to Marineford!" Solo couldn't help complaining in his heart, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Solo stretched out his hands and jumped off the deck of the patrol boat.

Plop!

With a large splash of water, Solo jumped directly into the sea, then took out an Eternal Pose from his arms, determined the direction, and started butterfly swimming.

For a while...

On the deck of the patrol boat, one is counted as the other, and they are all in a dazed state. Even Hawkeye, a guy who often has an apathetic look was completely appalled!

What is this marine doing? Could it be that he wants to swim directly to the Red Line from here?
