Chapter 335 Hawkeye vs. Navy Admiral

Hawkeye's fighting ability has always been a mystery. He only showed his strength during the war at the top, but he didn't use his full strength, so we have no way to evaluate how strong Hawkeye is. But later, Oda's pampering of Hawkeye was quite invincible. First, Hawkeye teamed up with Crocodile, changing the state of fighting alone to a team mode, the purpose was to allow Hawkeye to play a key role in the later period, and secondly, to increase Hawkeye's bounty. Hawkeye's bounty is about 35 billion, and compared with the current admiral bounty, it is 5 million higher, so from the perspective of bounty, Hawkeye is definitely stronger than the admiral.

Hawkeye has been praised by netizens before for his false fighting ability, but Hawkeye's opponent is Red Hair. As we all know, Red Hair's strength is the best in the world of pirates. The two of them often compete in swordsmanship, and currently it is a 50-50 situation. In addition, the bounty amount of the admiral of the Cross Guild this time confirms once again that Hawkeye is not comparable to the admiral in terms of bounty or strength. The meaning of belittling the admiral here is, but according to the plot of the comics, the admiral has indeed been weakened a lot. Of course, the subsequent wars are all wars between the Four Emperors, and the admirals have no way to intervene. They can only dispatch the Five Elders, the Knights and Im, and the admirals slowly become passers-by.

The invisibility fruit can make you immune to the color of seeing and hearing

Secondly, the most crucial shot in this issue is when the invisible Hiru attacks Garp from behind. This involves a question, the invisibility fruit and the color of observation. In fact, since the birth of the invisibility fruit, people have had some controversy over the invisibility fruit and the color of observation. It is said that the color of observation is very strong. Although the invisibility fruit can make people directly transparent, they have breath. They can use the color of observation to feel the breath of the enemy and avoid the attack of the invisible man. But obviously, Garp's end tells us that even if he foresaw the attack of the invisible man, he has no way to avoid it.

It is equivalent to the invisibility fruit being immune to observation Haki. No wonder Blackbeard has been looking for some powerful and practical devil fruits, because these fruits can bring certain benefits to the Blackbeard Group. Now, to fight with the invisibility fruit, you must have a strong Conqueror Haki, and use the Conqueror Haki to actually damage the surrounding objects, so that Shiryu will not dare to approach you. But the question is, which is more powerful, the invisibility fruit or Sanji's invisibility combat suit?

There is no problem that Hawkeye's strength is above the admirals. Many people say that Hawkeye can only be regarded as the strongest among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and is not at all comparable to the admirals of the headquarters. In other words, can the identity of the Seven Warlords of the Sea prove the strength? Definitely not. Blackbeard was also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, while Moriah and Crocodile were at the lower level. Luffy could fight them alone before he learned to use Haki!

As for Mingo, who was upstream, Luffy was in the fourth gear of the Great Ape King before he was barely able to defeat him. Therefore, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are just seven pirates recognized by the World Government, which has little to do with their strength. It can also be understood that the Seven Warlords of the Sea may be stronger than the Four Emperors, or weaker than Usopp. Later, Buggy also wanted to be a Seven Warlord of the Sea, which is proof of this!

Let's talk about Hawkeye. First of all, he has the title of the strongest swordsman. You should know how many masters who only use swords in One Piece are there. It should be said that there are many. Rayleigh is a master of swordsmanship. Hawkeye also often practices with Red Hair. What does this mean? Hawkeye's swordsmanship should be at the level of the Four Emperors, because no title in One Piece is given randomly, they can all explain certain problems. The strongest creature has the strongest defense, and the strongest man has the strongest destructive power. So the strongest swordsman should be true!

What is the strength of the admirals? During the War of Marineford, two admirals faced the elderly Whitebeard. The elderly Whitebeard should be considered as the lower level of the Four Emperors, because when Whitebeard and Red Hair were called the Four Emperors, they were actually not young anymore. Otherwise, they would not have been able to become the Four Emperors!

So it can be said that the Four Emperors are stronger than the three admirals. Hawkeye can fight with Red Hair, which means that Hawkeye is also stronger than the three admirals!

Hawkeye is a very popular character in One Piece. His strength is still a mystery. The few times he took action, his moves were extremely clean and neat, making it hard to tell his strength. Some say he has the strength of the Four Emperors, but when he took action, he did not have the domineering and momentum of Whitebeard, Kaido and others. Some say his strength is overestimated, but there is a legend about his duel with Red Hair, so it is difficult to accurately judge his strength. This article judges Hawkeye's true strength: stronger than the admirals, slightly weaker than the Four Emperors.

From the perspective of the position of the strongest swordsman in the world. Big guys like Red Hair, Whitebeard, and Rayleigh all have swords or sabers, but Hawkeye is the only one who has the title of the strongest swordsman in the world. How can this be explained? Is Hawkeye stronger than Red Hair? So after Red Hair lost his right arm, Hawkeye was unwilling to continue sparring, fearing that he would bully Red Hair? The phrase "the strongest swordsman in the world" really only means literally, that is, the strongest in swordsmanship. Those who can be called swordsmen in One Piece, such as Zoro and "Flower Sword" Vista, basically rely on swords for all their attack and defense methods, and are not good at or not good at using physical skills. Rayleigh, Red Hair, Whitebeard and other top strong men are both sword and body double-cultivators, but it is difficult to defeat Hawkeye only from the level of swordsmanship.

Judging from the legendary battle between Hawkeye and Red Hair. In the early duel between Red Hair and Hawkeye, according to Red Hair's temperament, facing the swordsman Hawkeye, Red Hair would definitely not use physical skills to learn from each other, and the duel between the two was unsuccessful. But it does not mean that Hawkeye's strength is equal to Red Hair, the top Four Emperors. This can also explain why Hawkeye is unwilling to duel with Red Hair again after Red Hair's arm was broken. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Red Hair is already a step behind Hawkeye at this time. But Red Hair still sits firmly in the position of the Four Emperors. After all, he still has the world's top physical skills and domineering, and his overall strength is still terrifying.

From the positioning of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. As we all know, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are the third largest camp used by the World Government to balance the Navy and the Four Emperors. In terms of peak combat power that determines victory or defeat, the Navy is stronger than a single Four Emperors group, but it is not enough to face two Four Emperors joining forces. After all, when the Marshal and the Three Admirals are held back by the Four Emperors and the Three Disasters, the other Four Emperors are like a group of tigers and sheep, and no one can stop them. Even when facing a single Four Emperor group, although the Navy is stronger on paper, it still has to pay a huge price to win. This can be seen from the battle between the Navy Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates in the Battle of Marineford, which required all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues.

If the Seven Warlords of the Sea are fully restrained and defeated one by one, the cost to the Navy will be minimal. Even if two of the Four Emperors join forces, they dare not say that they can gain an advantage over the Navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea. In the New World, there is the Red Hair Pirates to balance it, so it is difficult for three or more Four Emperors to form an alliance, which will cause chaos in the world. Therefore, with the Seven Warlords of the Sea restraining them, the Navy is already invincible. Even if the Seven Warlords of the Sea do not contribute in wartime, the deterrent effect formed in peacetime is what the Navy Headquarters values ​​most.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are dependent on the Marine Headquarters. To be easy to control, the Seven Warlords of the Sea as a whole must be much weaker than the Marine Headquarters. To balance and deter the Four Emperors, the overall strength cannot be too weak, and must be slightly weaker than the Four Emperors. Doflamingo, Jinbe, the Empress, and even Kuma are all slightly weaker than the generals. Hawkeye restrains the Four Emperors with a strength slightly weaker than the Four Emperors, which is just right for all parties.
