"KRIEG'S ARMADA WAS DESTROYED BY ONE MAN!?" screamed a bunch of frantic cooks. Who the hell could've destroyed forty-nine ships ALONE!?
Gin didn't answer, he was crouched on the ground holding his head trying to remove the painful memories from his mind.
"Well then, it had to be him," commented Zeff. "It could only have been the one known as Hawk Eye."
"Who?" questioned Patty.
"Hawk Eye?" repeated Gin.
"You said his eyes were like a hawk's, that's proof enough," explained Zeff. "And what he did to your ships... it had to be him."
Zoro started shaking all over through Zeff's explanation. "Hawk Eye Mihawk..."
"You've heard of him Zoro?" asked Luffy.
"Yeah, Y/N's even seen him," answered Zoro. "He's the man I've been looking for. He's the whole reason I set out to sea. He's the World's Greatest Swordsman."
"What?" questioned Luffy.
"Johnny said he comes here," commented Zoro.
"Don't know about Hawk Eye," said one of the cooks. "But Red Eye was here about a month ago when he died."
"Who?" asked Usopp. "Another monster?"
"Aye," answered Carne. "He was a dangerous pirate from the Grand Line. That bastard drank our entire stock of grog then just when we were about to ask him to pay the bill, there was a big explosion at his table. We think he exploded from drinking too much because he was gone!"
"But that guy must have been just as scary as Hawk Eye," commented the first cook again. "Almost everyone was afraid to go near him. The guy's a murderer that had been plaguing the Grand Line. He had that one eye that glowed bright red, the only person who actually got a good look at him was that idiot waiter. He scared the waiters so much they all jumped ship."
"We still haven't been able to replace 'em," added Patty.
Zoro ignored the cooks' story and glared at the table in front of him, he remember Johnny telling him that Hawk Eye went to Baratie. Then Y/N had mentioned that he had actually seen Hawk Eye during his time in the Grand Line. While Y/N might have been telling the truth, Zoro wasn't looking for Red Eye, he was looking for Hawk Eye. Johnny hadn't gotten it right. "That snake! He lied to me!" growled Zoro.
"What'd Johnny do?" asked Luffy.
"Oh, nothing," replied Zoro, hoping Luffy would forget it.
"So he beat the whole Armada," commented Sanji as he turned back to Gin. "Did you do something to make him mad?"
"Not that I know of," answered Gin.
"Maybe you interrupted his nap," suggested Zeff.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" yelled Gin. "HE MURDERED MY CREWMATES!"
"Calm down, I wasn't joking," said Zeff. "That's the kind of place the Grand Line is. Anything can happen there."
"That's what Y/N said," Luffy commented quietly. Luffy had been listening on Gaimon's island when Y/N told them about the Grand Line. But how did Y/N survive when Krieg couldn't? From the look of things, Y/N had only gotten stronger after going to the Grand Line. The only negative thing that had happened to him was that he had only one eye and didn't show much emotion.
"Anything can happen there, eh?" repeated Zoro.
"Woo-hoo!" exclaimed Luffy. "I've got goose-bumps! That's just what Y/N said, it's a place where anything can happen!"
