One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 450: Gai Nie vs. Hawkeye Mihawk

Kraikana Island:

Hawkeye Mihawk was drinking red wine and reading a newspaper in his castle, when suddenly his eyes fixed and he looked out the door.

"Yo, Mihawk, I knew you were home and not out!"

Gai Nie walked in very familiarly, then picked up the unopened bottle of red wine next to him, opened it and took a sip.

"The situation on the sea is very tense right now. Weren't you transferred back earlier? How did you find time to come to my place?"

Mihawk said while staring at Gaine.

"Well, it's not a big deal. I just want to advise you that if the World Government recruits you Shichibukai in the future, you'd better not agree and give up the title of Shichibukai!"

"The Infinite Pirates want to weaken the power of the World Government before the war begins. The Seven Warlords of the Sea, a force outside the World Government, are a good target."

"Now the other Shichibukai have been taken care of. It was only after I heard the news that I took the initiative to take on this task and come to you. After all, we have been friends for so many years. I have come to you in person, so please give me some face!"

Gai Nie leaned back on the sofa and took another sip of red wine.

"So are you here to persuade me or to force me?"

Hawkeye Mihawk asked solemnly.

"Well, Mihawk, don't be so nervous. We have known each other for many years. How can I harm you?"

"Besides, don't I know who you are? You are not from the World Government, so why bother risking your life for the World Government!"

Gai Nie persuaded him that he really didn't want to come to blows with Hawkeye, after all, they had been friends for so many years.

"If you want me to give up the title of Shichibukai, that's fine, as long as you defeat me!"

"In all these years of our battles, you have never used your full strength, right? This time, let me see your true strength!"

Hawkeye Mihawk said seriously.

Then, without waiting for Gai Nie to answer, he walked straight to the castle gate.

Whenever they fought in the past, they always used the swords in their hands to fight in the purest swordsman's way.

So Hawkeye Mihawk has never known the true strength of Gainey, and this time, he wants to see it for himself!
"Well, really, we still have to fight in the end!"

After Gai Nie finished drinking the whole bottle of red wine, he followed Hawkeye out speechlessly.

The two men came to the beach at the edge of the island, three hundred meters apart. Both of them were holding supreme swords and looked very solemn.

"Homik, we have fought many times. How about we decide the winner in one move this time?"

"As long as you can take my move, you win!"

Gai Nie said very confidently.

"it is good!"

Hawkeye Mihawk would naturally not refuse!
"Then you better be careful!"

As soon as the words fell, the endless magnetic force on Gai Nie's body burst out instantly, covering an area of ​​several thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

The magnetic field of the entire island and even the sea was instantly controlled by Gai Nie. As he stretched out his right hand that was tightly grasping the Li Feng Liu Shui and released it, all the magnetic forces rushed towards him.

Magnetism generates electricity. When the purple lightning was generated, it expanded in an instant, and then was compressed by the magnetic force around the cracks in the wind and flowing water.

The originally invisible and intangible magnetic force turned into tangible force under Gai Nie's control, all of which were constantly compressed and accumulated more powerful force like an infinitely long spring.

At this moment, the Wind and Water were suspended in the air, constantly accumulating power. The entire sky and sea were dimmed, and only the Wind and Water were shining with an incomparable brilliance. With just a movement of his hand, Gai Nie made Hawkeye Mihawk feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Then let me try your strongest move!"

Hawkeye Mihawk also mobilized all of his armament Haki and domineering Haki on the black sword Night, and the red lightning next to it isolated all the purple electromagnetic forces approaching him.

"A flying sword with ten thousand steps, a blade that cuts through the sea!"

When the power was accumulated to the extreme, the black knife, Wind-Splitting and Water-Flowing, shot out like a purple meteor.

The extreme speed broke through the constraints of space, surpassed the eagle's vision, and attacked with unparalleled power.

Wherever it passed, the earth collapsed, the space was torn apart, and everything was heading towards destruction!
Faced with such a terrifying flying sword, Hawkeye Mihawk did not retreat at all. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit and used his strongest sword moves to meet it!

“Hard and Soft Slash!!”

With one slash of sword, it represents Hawkeye Mihawk's extreme strength, and also represents his extreme change. Combining two completely opposite sword moves into one sword, this is Hawkeye Mihawk's strongest sword!
At the moment when Black Blade Night and Black Blade Ripping Wind and Flowing Water collided in the air, the magnetic field was in turmoil, the sky and the earth dimmed, and the clouds in the sky were cleared in an instant.

The endless aftermath caused the sea nearby to raise layer after layer of huge waves that were hundreds of meters high, and the entire island began to shake as a result.

If these two people had not taken into account the castle in the center of the island, the island would probably have begun to collapse.

"Cut it off!!"

Hawkeye Mihawk tried his best to block Gai Nie's attack!
"boom!!!"

But he didn't expect that the power of Gai Nie's sword was so terrifying. The terrifying magnetic force overwhelmed Black Knife Ye, and the splitting wind and flowing water passed by his neck like a meteor and disappeared from his sight.

However, when the wind and water broke through the sky, they suddenly turned a corner and flew back into Gai Nie's hands, while Hawkeye Mihawk still maintained the posture of the previous slashing.

It wasn't until Hawkeye Mihawk's severed collar fell to the ground that he put away his black sword.

"I lost!"

After taking a deep breath, Hawkeye Mihawk put the black knife back behind him and looked at Gai Nie in front of him with complicated eyes.

When they were simply competing in swordsmanship, there was no one better or worse, just winners and losers.

However, he didn't expect that when Gai Nie really used his full strength, he would be defeated in one move.

This contrast was difficult for him to accept and let go.

However, this kind of discomfort only lasted for three seconds. After three seconds, he was still the confident Hawkeye Mihawk!
"Hahahahahaha, I can only defeat you because of the power of the devil fruit. If I didn't have the power of the devil fruit, we would be the same."

Gai Nie laughed.

"Since I lost, I will naturally abide by the agreement. I will no longer want the title of Shichibukai."

"I have nothing to do recently, so I might as well go to the New World to have a look around, to prevent those annoying guys from destroying my castle!"

Hawkeye became one of the Shichibukai originally to have some peace and quiet, as he didn't want those marines to bother him, that's why he became one of the Shichibukai.

Now that he is no longer a Shichibukai, the Navy and the World Government will definitely cause trouble for him for the sake of their reputation. What he hates most is trouble, so he can only go to the New World where the World Government and the Navy have no control!
"Hahahahaha, I just happen to be going back to the New World too, so we're on the same way. I'll take you there. It'll be faster this way!"

As Gai Nie spoke, he waved his hand, and a ten-meter-long steel spaceship flew over from the distant sky.

"it is good!"

Hawkeye Mihawk wasn't being pretentious, as that was how they lived when they wandered together before.

After Hawkeye Mihawk and Gainey boarded the ship, this steel spaceship, under the control of Gainey's ability, flew directly into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
