“I will never forget that night, that man like a Hawkeye...”
Hearing about the man like a Hawkeye, Zoro's spirit immediately lifted. To him, that was his lifelong goal.
His dream was to become the world's greatest swordsman, and the current world's greatest swordsman was Hawkeye.
Lin En, however, ignored the people discussing Hawkeye. He was currently communicating with the system.
“System, why do I feel my body strength has increased after finishing Landon?”
“When you finish forging equipment, the equipment's attributes will appear on your body.”
No wonder, he felt different when he blocked Krieg's bullet just now.
Although he had never been afraid of bullets before, bullets still embedded in the superficial layer of his skin. With doran's shield's recovery, no damage was caused, and he felt his physical strength was already very high at that time.
But now, bullets hitting him just fell off directly, leaving no mark.
He silently recited and then took landon's omen out of the system space again.
As Nami said, although this shield looked incredibly heavy, it was surprisingly light to use.
He wondered if Hawkeye's experience points would allow him to level up later.

“Oh, Captain, there's something I need to ask you.”
“What is it, Lin En?”
“Can you leave that Krieg to me?”
Luffy didn't really care about these things. For him, as long as there was a fight, that was enough. After all, besides Krieg, there were over 100 people on the ship.
He stared at Lin En for a moment, then suddenly smiled again.
“If you're serious, of course you can.”
Although Luffy often acted like a fool, he was only not foolish when it came to his companions, or rather, even a bit clever.
As long as he confirmed that his companion had the confidence to defeat the enemy, he would completely trust his companion's ability.
“Give me some of the men too!” Zoro also spoke up.
Although he would be unable to get up later, Lin En still couldn't spoil it. He knew that even if he told Zoro that Hawkeye would come later and that he would only get beaten down, it wouldn't matter.
Even if Zoro heard all of Lin En's words, he would probably still excitedly rush up when he saw Hawkeye later.
Usopp saw that everyone was looking forward to the upcoming battle and gained confidence himself.
“Since you've already divided the enemies, I'll just cheer for you from behind the scenes later!”
Everyone: “……”
Looking at the people at the table still joking.
Patty couldn't hold it in.
“You idiots! Do you even understand the current situation? That pirate ship docked outside the door...”
“...is the most vicious pirate crew in East Blue, Captain Krieg's Pirate Crew!”
“Why do you all talk about it so lightly?”
“You have to pick the right time to daydream, hey!”
“What's there to be afraid of?” Lin En was very puzzled.
“I ask you, are you planning to run away?”
Patty felt as if he was being underestimated. Although he wasn't strong enough, he wasn't cowardly.
“Who would run away? Of course, I'm going to fight to the end!”
“Then it's settled, isn't it?”
Lin En patted Patty's shoulder, noticing that the man's body was still trembling at this moment.
“If you've decided that even if you die in battle later, you won't run away,”
“...then does the enemy's strength really matter that much to you?”
Hearing Lin En's words, Patty was stunned.
“You're too nervous.”
Yes, he was too nervous.
Nervous about the enemy's strength, the slim chance of victory, nervous about whether he would die in the upcoming battle.
He didn't have the confidence to win the next battle, but he also didn't plan to run away.
He was different from Lin En and the others. He didn't know how strong Lin En and the others were. Currently, he only knew that Lin En was fine after being shot by a bullet.
The only thing he was sure of was that the chefs of the Sea Restaurant were incredibly weak when facing Krieg.
But, no matter if the outcome was defeat or victory...
He, or rather, they, the chefs of the Sea Restaurant, since everyone wasn't planning to run away, then what was the point of worrying about these things?
Patty's body stopped trembling. He grinned and laughed loudly, his comical appearance looking even funnier.
“Hahahahaha, you're right.”
“Does it matter who the enemy is?”
“I'm going to get some wine right now. When we win later, we'll drink until we drop!”
“What if we lose later? What if we lose? At worst, it's just death!”
The chefs' morale also soared.
“That's right, what's so great about those people who just ate their fill?”
“They just ate their fill, even a slight movement would give them stomach problems, right?”
“What's there to be afraid of? We're not pushovers either!”
Zeff surprisingly glanced at Lin En. Although this strong young man had a rough exterior, his mind was exceptionally delicate.
He glanced again at Luffy, whose face never stopped smiling and was always full of confidence.
If Sanji were on this ship, his life would become even more exciting.
Just then, the sea outside became turbulent.
Everyone rushed out of the Sea Restaurant. Krieg's pirate ship was cut in half.
And the one who did all this was the black figure in the distance.
A ship? No, it looked more like a small raft.
Even though it was a small raft, it could drift freely in the turbulent sea, just like its master on board.
Even though he was just one person, he could roam freely across the entire world.
“Hawkeye!!!”
The people on Krieg's pirate ship raised their pistols.
Hundreds of bullets shot towards Hawkeye.
Hawkeye moved.
He reached for the great sword on his back.
In just an instant, all the bullets changed their original trajectories, while his great sword remained on his back.
Did he draw his sword?
“He drew his sword. He used the blade to change the bullets' trajectories.” Zoro seemed to have seen everyone's confusion and explained to them.
Zoro had already started tying his green bandana. He was exceptionally excited now.
He was going to challenge Hawkeye.
“Hey, Lin En! Advise Zoro, he's looking for death!!!”
Lin En shook his head.
“Once a sword swung for a dream and a promise is swung, no one can dissuade it.”
