One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Mihawk glanced at him, then turned and went to the kitchen.

As soon as everyone left, Baby-5 jumped onto Abel's lap and couldn't help but ask, "Tell me, tell me, who won?"

Abel smiled with a hint of arrogance. "Overall, they were evenly matched, but I won by a narrow margin in the end."

"I knew it, Abel is the strongest!"

Baby-5 jumped up with joy.

Kidd and his friends were also proud to have such a powerful chairman.

After all, he is the world's greatest swordsman!

The commotion from the previous battle had really given them a big fright.

Abel didn't explain, and his final victory was a narrow one.

He had always thought that he could easily defeat Hawkeye, who only had one hand to use, by using the [Infinite One-Hit Slash] after breaking through the limit.

As a result, they almost got a lesson from Hawkeye.

In dire straits, Hawkeye unleashed a fighting power that defied expectations.

He actually compressed the entire sword domain into the [Night], and then used the power of rules to counteract the power of rules, unleashing an incomparably dazzling slash.

Unfortunately, holding the knife with only the left hand still had too much of a disadvantage.

So in the end, Abel won.

Hawkeye accepted the result honestly.

However, he also said that he had gained some insights from the battle and would seek another fight with him after he had digested them.

Abel naturally didn't want to fight Hawkeye again, because it was too dangerous and too exhausting.

If this happens twice more, even the Senzu Beans in his hand won't be able to hold out.

However, there was no way around it. Although Hawkeye acknowledged Abel's swordsmanship skills, he had to agree to Abel's conditions if Hawkeye wanted him to join.

One of the requirements is that you need to spar with him regularly.

So Abel could only agree with a wry smile.

After the battle, both of them were seriously injured and would need a long time to recover, making them vulnerable to being attacked by the enemy.

So Abel simply took out a Senzu Bean, splitting it in half with Hawkeye.

Half a magic bean is enough to heal their injuries.

As for the physical strength consumed, it can be recovered slowly.

Although Mihawk had been to many places and was very knowledgeable, he had never seen such a magical healing item before.

Such a tiny bean is incredibly powerful!

If he had possessed this skill in his early years, he wouldn't have needed to spend so much time recovering from injuries after each encounter with a formidable enemy.

Of course, given Hawkeye's emotional intelligence, he wouldn't rashly ask for it.

He really doesn't need this thing now.

Chapter 885 It seems like I've wandered onto the wrong set.

Incredible!

The world's greatest swordsman, 'Hawkeye' Mihawk, a tough guy among tough guys, is also surprisingly skilled in cooking?!

When Abel happened to pass by the kitchen and saw Mihawk dressed in comfortable loungewear, demonstrating his superb knife skills—slicing potatoes into shreds—heaven knows how shocked Abel was!

This contrast is truly unexpected.

If you hadn't seen this scene with your own eyes, who would believe that Hawkeye could make a cameo appearance on the set of the neighboring Little Chef?

Decided!

It seems the Nightmare Battleship is missing a head chef...

Kidding.

In no time, more than a dozen dishes were steaming hot and ready to be served.

Looking at the delicious-looking food on the table, Kidd and the others remained silent, their gazes toward Mihawk filled with surprise and bewilderment.

If there weren't no one else in the castle, they would have suspected that the food was prepared by the baboons outside.

After all, baboons are quite good at mimicking humans, so it's not impossible...

Well, it's not that they don't want to believe it, it's just that their illusions have been shattered.

This is like one day a trending topic tells you that the Wolf Warrior who was fighting a Megalodon yesterday is now live-streaming himself embroidering a painting called "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

They're completely unrelated, understand?

But putting aside these stereotypes, overall, the food was really good.

Almost everyone wore a look of surprise.

So much so that the last dish on the table was licked clean by the shameful Bellamy.

It's as if Abel mistreated them at the Dragon Hunter Guild, not giving them food.

Abel was furious.

It's definitely not because he ate the most or used his position as president to intimidate others.

When he left, Mihawk didn't have much to take with him.

Sling the knife over your back, all set, you can go.

Kidd and the others were still a little confused, wondering what was going on.

Do we have to fight again if we move to a different location?

They were half right.

Abel, as if just remembering something, casually said, "Oh, right, from now on, Mihawk officially joins our Dragon Hunter Guild, and his position is... um, Vice President. You all better show him some respect."

What the hell!

Vice President?!

Kidd and his companions were initially startled, but quickly calmed down.

Simply put, Hawkeye is qualified.

No one would disagree.

Furthermore, Hawkeye is both a friend and rival of Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, whose strength is comparable to Shanks'.

With Hawkeye joining, the Dragon Hunter Guild will be even stronger, its power will increase dramatically!

Now, which force on the high seas can defeat them?

The Whitebeard Pirates?

Or the entire navy?

They've gotten too big for their britches, they've really gotten too big for their britches now!

Kidd and his friends were floating as they walked.

Mihawk himself was somewhat surprised, not expecting Abel to directly appoint him as vice president.

He didn't care about these empty titles.

But Abel's decision to give him the position of vice president without consulting him is also a form of trust.

This attention and trust made him quite happy.

Even the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

"By the way, should we take these baboons with us?"

Before boarding the ship, Abel suddenly remembered something and asked a question.

Mihawk shook his head. "No need. Let them live here quietly."

"Perhaps one day in the future, I will come back here again."

Abel expressed his understanding, "It's up to you. Joining the Dragon Hunter Guild doesn't mean you've lost your freedom. You can go wherever you want normally, just remember to keep your Den Den Mushi with you in case something happens and we can't reach you."

Such lenient treatment is only possible for Hawkeye; it's unlikely for anyone else.

However, Mihawk is not the kind of person who would push his luck, and he directly stated that he would be staying at the guild headquarters for the time being.

Because he also knew that it wouldn't be long before the Navy would begin to encircle and suppress the Dragon Hunter Guild.

This war was inevitable.

Unless Abel immediately backs down, cancels all the arrest warrants, and becomes a lackey of the World Government.

Otherwise, the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides cannot be resolved at all.

……

A few days later, another news story shocked the world!

Former Shichibukai and world's greatest swordsman, 'Hawkeye' Mihawk, who was stripped of his title, has announced that he has joined the Dragon Hunter Guild and will become its vice president!

Furthermore, Boa Hancock, the "Empress" of Amazon Lily, has officially formed an alliance with the Dragon Hunter Guild, standing together through thick and thin.

This news shocked the world!

While Boa Hancock has many admirers, none are as impactful as Hawkeye joining her team!

It's truly baffling that Hawkeye, who has always been a lone wolf, has chosen to join the forces of the Yonko Abel.

Even without his status as a Shichibukai, 'Hawkeye' shouldn't be afraid of being purged by the Navy.

Even if we take a step back and assume that joining a faction is the only option, shouldn't the Red-Haired Pirates have a better chance?

The relationship between Mihawk and Shanks is known to almost everyone on the high seas.

So, in conclusion, childhood sweethearts are indeed no match for those who suddenly appear out of nowhere!
