Chapter 189 You should ask Kaido if he dares!
-
The White Wolf sailed against the wind and waves, its path blocked by a small coffin boat on the azure sea.
"Long time no see, Uchiha Allen."
Allen walked to the bow of the ship and looked down, a faint smile on his lips.
"It's you... Mihawk."
……
On the deck, the chef served drinks and then left, leaving the two of them to sit facing each other.
Hawkeye's gaze fell on the two swords behind Allen, which, having changed hands, had once again returned to the world's view.
However, Allen hasn't been making frequent moves in recent years, and Sakura's Ten Great Swords are stuck among the 21 Great Swords. It's uncertain whether they've reached the level of a Supreme Great Sword.
"It seems you haven't neglected your swordsmanship training. Very good."
Eagle Eye could hear the low hum of Black Blade Night behind him, and his fighting spirit surged.
……
……
"What is that...?"
Ordinary crew members couldn't see it, but Shiryu, whose swordsmanship was quite good, could.
Behind Mihawk was a black eagle with outstretched wings and a raised neck, and two evil dragons roaring and groaning around Allen.
Is this the clash of sword intent between two great swordsmen?!
……
Allen grabbed the sizzling, oily roasted beef leg: "Ugh... How many times do I have to tell you, I have no interest in swordsmanship with you. Don't just get all worked up."
The fighting spirit in Hawkeye's eyes faded, and he picked up the barrel of liquor: "No glasses?"
"There aren't any of those things women use."
……
"vulgar."
"Loading the cargo."
……
……
After a moment of silence, Hawkeye spoke in a low voice: "I want to know what happened back then, and why there are two Shanks."
Allen didn't look surprised at all after filling a large bucket with juice.
Perhaps it was because he sensed something was amiss that Hawkeye didn't take action back then.
"Has Shanks never told you about his family affairs?"
Hawkeye shook his head: "Do you think I would ask such a boring question?"
"Isn't that what you're asking right now?"
……
……
Allen chuckled softly, ceasing his teasing of Hawkeye: "Anyway, Shanks isn't dead yet, that's what you wanted to ask, right?"
A barely perceptible smile seemed to play at the corners of Hawkeye's lips: "Is that so...?"
"Does being number one in the world make you feel lonely, Mihawk?"
……
Hawkeye looked at Allen with a hint of regret: "If you hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit..."
"Why don't you eat a Devil Fruit, Mihawk?"
Allen leaned slightly forward, looking directly into the piercing Hawkeye eyes that struck fear into countless hearts: "You weren't interested in fighting Shanks because he lost an arm, and you think it's a pity he's not a pure swordsman..."
"fencing……"
"Is it such a narrow-minded thing?"
brush--
In a flash, Allen thrust his finger toward Hawkeye's forehead.
clang!!
With a touch of his fingertip to the hilt of the black sword, Night Sword, a metallic clang erupted.
……
Allen smiled slightly, and black and red arcs of electricity shot out where his fingers touched the hilt of the sword.
"If you really want to be that pure, then don't use Armament Haki."
"The so-called...world's greatest swordsman?"
click-
With a press of the fingertip, the white bandage wrapped around the sword hilt broke inch by inch, revealing its pitch-black color.
……
Is war about to break out?!
Shiryu waved his hand and shouted, "Everyone, retreat to the cabin!!"
Having spent years together, no one knows better than him just how terrifying that man's destructive power is now!
……
……
Hawkeye gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes lowered: "That's just a title others have given me."
"So, in your opinion, what is swordsmanship?"
……
"It's just a classification of a method of murder."
"Mihawk, you can become stronger! Abandon the pride of a swordsman, and increase your strength by any means necessary—that is the path to the top!"
……
"Is that so... I disagree."
Hawkeye's lips curled into a smile.
"For me, only the blade in my hand can perfectly express my heart, body, skills, and everything else."
"It makes me give up the idea of kendo..."
"Just give up!!"
-
Click—
The ocean has split open into a deep cross-shaped abyss, the boundary of which is nowhere to be seen!
……
……
The anticipated battle did not occur, and before the crew could even take refuge in the cabin, the terrifying fluctuations ceased.
Allen withdrew his hand: "OK, I give up."
"Don't spout nonsense like 'I ate a Devil Fruit,' that's very rude."
……
"Yes, I misspoke. I'm sorry."
……
One second they looked like they were about to fight, and the next second they were sitting side by side peacefully... Shiryu didn't know what to say.
Are you children?
Even children don't make up this quickly after a fight!
Let's fight! Let me witness a battle between top-tier swordsmen!!
……
Just then, Allen glanced over.
Are you looking forward to it?
"Mihawk, there's a pure swordsman over there who looks like he wants to fight you."
Eagle Eye looked over at the sound.
"Shiryu of the Rain... I've heard a lot about him, I'd like to give him a try."
……
"No, no, no!!"
Shiryu quickly raised his hand: "I'm not pure! I really want to eat a Devil Fruit, I just haven't found a suitable one!!"
As he spoke, he looked at Allen with a hint of anticipation: "Major General Allen...you brought me here this time, surely you want to give me the Float-Float Fruit, right?"
"Rest assured, even if I eat the Float-Float Fruit, my loyalty to you will not change in the slightest! Hehehehe..."
Yes... I've never been loyal to you, that hasn't changed!
If only I had that ability...
I will repay this humiliation of over 1,800 days and nights tenfold!
……
"ha?"
Allen glanced at Shiryu: "When did you get this idea? I wouldn't give it to you even if I grabbed a dog off the street to eat."
"Have you finished today's cleaning duties? Why are you chattering away here?"
……
"I……"
Shiliu gripped the deck brush tightly, almost grinding his teeth to powder.
asshole! !
They actually made me do this kind of thing!!
Just you wait! One day you'll find out just how cruel Lord Shiryu's revenge can be!!
……
……
……
"So we're really going to Dressrosa."
Hawkeye said in a deep voice, "I've met Doflamingo. He's a very dangerous man, and he's definitely up to something."
"It won't be that simple..."
……
"He's practically got 'I'm the villain' tattooed on his face." Allen chuckled and shook his head. "But he doesn't have the ability to match his ambition."
"It's just a Joker card."
……
"He has deep ties with Kaido, so you'd better be careful."
Hawkeye's eyes darkened: "In a one-on-one fight, I really can't think of anyone who could contend with that monster!"
One reason is to want to know Shanks' situation.
Hawkeye came here for another purpose: to persuade Allen not to clash with Kaido.
He had met Kaido and was deeply impressed by his power.
……
"I do not understand……"
"When Kaido is mentioned, you all think I'm in grave danger."
Allen sat cross-legged.
The sea breeze swept his black hair back, revealing his smooth forehead and a pair of eyes burning with fiery red flames.
He declared it with an air of self-evident certainty and unequivocality.
"You should ask Kaido..."
"Do you dare to start a war with me?!"
