Shampoo Island, the place where the fate of the Straw Hat Pirates changed. Two years ago, a group of straw-hatted pirates were shot dead by bears here. At that time, most people in the Straw Hat community were aware of the gap between ideals and reality. They all want to make a name for themselves in the new world, but the reality is that they are too weak.
This is especially true for Sauron. His goal was to become "the greatest swordsman in the world", but he suffered huge setbacks. During the high-level war, Zoro blamed himself for failing to help Luffy. He longs for strength and protects his companions, even if he loses his dignity. So Sauron later approached Hawkeye and asked him to accept him as his apprentice.
Hawkeye initially refused to listen to Sauron because Sauron had given up his dignity as a swordsman. But Hawkeye later agreed with Sauron, so what was the reason? Many people think that Hawkeye was influenced by Sauron. In fact, this is not the case. Hawkeye is a very principled person, especially as the world's number one swordsman, he values ??a swordsman's will most.
To become stronger, he knelt down and begged his enemies. Thrawn, who had given up his dignity, was not worthy of his teachings. He rejected Thrawn in the first place for this very reason. But why did you suddenly change your mind? In fact, it's not that Hawkeye wants to accept Sauron, but that he has to accept it, or dare not accept it! It all goes back to the duel at the Sea Restaurant.
Zauron was a rookie at the time. Although he had the title of pirate hunter, in terms of strength, Sauron was just a rookie at the time. It was during his rookie period that Sauron met Hawkeye, known as the "World's Greatest Swordsman". Zoro had admired him for a long time, so he made a request to play.
Hawkeye agreed to Thrawn, and they drew their swords and prepared for a duel. However, Hawkeye looked down on Sauron at all and only drew his sword to humiliate him. Thrawn's character is relatively monotonous and he doesn't care about Hawkeye. It turns out Hawkeye wants to kill Thrawn. His "First Swordsman" name really wasn't covered, he just stabbed Thrawn in the chest.
However, at this moment, Hawkeye suddenly noticed a chill on his back, and said secretly: "It's broken, are there any tall people here?" Looking back, two black figures stood upright on the deck. On top, the long knife is half unsheathed in his hand. Birds of prey appear to have no control if they vibrate their tails. Hawkeye knew these two men. Before becoming famous, I heard that there were two strongest swordsmen in the world.
The two men are respected as the "Sword Gods", and Joseph is called the "Great Sword Master". The two came out of the village to see off their friend Sauron, but suddenly met Hawkeye in the East China Sea, and the young Sauron was about to go into battle. Neither of them stopped, thinking it was just ordinary play and nothing important. The old boy Hawkeye was unreasonable, but he hurt Zoro when he came up. The two of them were about to have a fight when a pair of hands suppressed him from behind.
Looking back, it turned out to be the future Pirate King Luffy. Although the two of them were furious, the Pirate King still had to give him face, but even though they were stopped by Luffy, the two still spread the rumor: "Suppress us like this, or we will kill Hawkeye." After hearing this, Hawkeye On the surface, he pretended to be calm, but in fact he was frightened. He quickly put away the knife and ran away.
Hawkeye narrowly escaped, but the words "We will kill Hawkeye" haunted him like a nightmare for the rest of his life. He is afraid that the Sword God and the Great Sword Master will come to you, and he has always been looking for opportunities to make up for his mistakes. However, due to his "First Swordsman" face, he cannot apologize directly.
Until an accidental opportunity, Sauron found Hawkeye and offered to be his apprentice. Hawkeye was ecstatic, as if he had found a life-saving straw. After playing a show of wanting to welcome and reject, Hawkeye successfully accepted Sauron, became Sauron's teacher, and won the death-free gold medal. Hawkeye finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, knowing that his life was saved.
