One Piece: Perfect Defense and Counterattacks from the Start, Taking on Hawkeye Head-On!

After transmigrating into the world of One Piece, Leo acquires the complete combat template of the rogue Zabuza: parrying and counterattacks, Mist Body Flicker, silent assassination, and the entire kit, all transferred seamlessly. No System. No status screen. He just wants to be a laid-back bounty hunter in the East Blue, coasting through life.

Then he discovers that bullets in this world can be batted away with the back of a sword.

Outside Shells Town, he sees Luffy and Zoro squeezed together on a rickety raft. They pass each other without even bothering to say hello. At Baratie, Hawkeye cleaves Krieg's flagship in two with a single stroke, his sword energy sweeping across the sea. Crouching on the roof, Leo quietly grips his Executioner's Blade and mutters:

"Easy, easy... That's a Shichibukai. The bounty's high, but there's no point earning it if you're dead..."

The next instant, Krieg's iron-arm cannonball comes roaring straight at him. Leo instinctively raises his blade to block. White mist bursts outward, and he flashes behind the enemy in an instant, his blade at Krieg's throat. The entire place falls silent.

"Sorry about that," he says, turning to grin at Lina. "I'll take that thirty million."
