Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

As long as the black-haired swordsman doesn't leave this island with the Seven Star Sword, the battle for the demon sword is destined to continue...

This is true.

Some powerful individuals who had recently arrived, upon hearing that the Seven Star Sword had been obtained by the "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks, did not give up their idea of ​​seizing the Seven Star Sword.

Many people hold the same idea—

If an individual lacks the strength, then everyone rushes in.

Taking advantage of the chaos, they might just be able to seize the Seven Star Sword.

If they could take advantage of the chaos to kill the "Black-Haired Swordsman," they would become famous throughout the seas...

The high seas are not short of madmen who would risk their lives for fame.

These people are not afraid of the reputation or strength of the powerful.

Even if those sea emperors of the New World were here, this kind of person would dare to draw his sword and wield his blade against him...

Every year, many fearless individuals go to challenge the Four Emperors, hoping to defeat them and become famous throughout the world.

In the end, it naturally met its demise.

But there are always some hotheads and dim-witted guys who aim to defeat the Four Emperors.

The ocean is so vast that it contains all sorts of people; this is unavoidable...

And among the crowds that arrived here.

The man carrying a black sword and crossbow, wearing a black trench coat and a top hat, was the most eye-catching...

"Hiss, even he's here!?"

"The world's greatest swordsman, 'Hawkeye' Dracule Mihawk!!"

"How could a powerful figure like him, capable of fighting against the Yonko 'Red-Haired' Shanks, be attracted to a cursed sword?"

"This is going to be interesting..."

Many people recognized the man at a glance and gasped in shock.

A look of shock and surprise appeared in his eyes...

The world's undisputed greatest swordsman has arrived!

When people mention "Hawkeye" Dracule Mihawk, most don't think of his title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Rather, it's his identity as the world's greatest swordsman...

Many people were taken aback by Hawkeye's arrival.

Everyone felt that something even more shocking might happen next.

Since Hawkeye has arrived here, it means that the other party is also interested in the Seven Star Sword.

The Seven Star Sword, however, is in the hands of the black-haired swordsman...

Could it be that these two powerful swordsmen might actually clash in a sword duel?

If that's the case...

That would make things even more exciting!

"The Seven Star Sword...did the black-haired swordsman obtain it?"

Hawkeye, however, paid no attention to what others were saying about him; he was already used to it.

However, amidst the clamor of others, he heard something that piqued his interest.

The demonic sword that had piqued his interest and was capable of stealing people's minds was taken away by the black-haired swordsman who also piqued his interest!

"I knew I hadn't underestimated you, black-haired swordsman. Now that we've met, then... let me test your swordsmanship..."

Eagle Eyes fixed on a spot, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Not long ago, I saw a report about the "Black-Haired Swordsman" in the newspaper.

He became very interested in this man who was famous as the "Sword Master".

Later, it was even rumored that the opponent was able to fight against former general "Black Wrist" Zephyr without being at a disadvantage.

His interest was inevitably heightened...

Now that we've encountered this situation...

He had no reason not to meet the other party!

"Is it over there?"

Hawkeye unleashed his Observation Haki, locking onto a location.

Then he started walking in that direction.

His pace was slow, the same as that of an average person.

But a strange, sharp aura emanated from him, causing those who looked at him to feel a stinging pain in their eyes for a moment...

"That location... is the direction the black-haired swordsman went!"

"So they really came for the Seven Star Sword? This is getting interesting!"

"A swordsmanship battle between the black-haired swordsman and Hawkeye... just thinking about it is exciting..."

"Quick, let's go! We absolutely can't miss this battle. I'm curious to see what it will be like!"

Upon seeing the direction Hawkeye was heading, many people realized something.

Their faces lit up with excitement and anticipation...

The recently rising stars are "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks and the world's greatest swordsman "Hawkeye" Djorkol Mihawk.

These two can be described as renowned sword masters on the high seas.

If a swordsmanship battle were to break out here, it would be a battle that would shake the world.

It could even be remembered by countless people, just like the battle between Hawkeye and Shanks...

This scene, this battle.

They absolutely cannot miss this!

……

at the same time.

On the sea not far from Asca Island.

A warship sailed toward Asca Island...

"The black-haired swordsman stole that demon sword? As expected of a monster capable of fighting against Master Zephyr, he's truly extraordinary..."

Admiral Aokiji was listening to a report from the Navy on the other end of the Den Den Mushi about what was happening on Asuka Island.

I couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"I never expected to be so lucky as to run into him here..."

Aokiji exhaled a cold breath, but his eyes gleamed with a sharp light: "Then I'll have to go and have a good talk with him..."

His mission this time was to contact "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks and invite him to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Unexpectedly, he changed his course because of the demon sword, and as a result, they coincidentally met here...

Is this the will of Heaven?

"Admiral Aokiji... there is other news!"

Just as Aokiji was making plans, the Den Den Mushi seemed to receive another message.

The voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was filled with shock and astonishment: "The world's greatest swordsman, 'Hawkeye' Dracule Mihawk, has also landed on Asuka Island!"

"Judging from the direction he's heading, he's probably aiming for the Seven Star Sword... no, he's probably aiming for the black-haired swordsman!"

"Huh? Hawkeye? What's that dangerous guy doing here?"

Even someone as strong as Aokiji was greatly surprised upon hearing the report.

His expression wasn't as relaxed as before: "This is getting a bit troublesome..."

The world's greatest swordsman, "Hawkeye" Djokovic.

Even a general like him wouldn't dare say he could defeat a powerhouse of this caliber...

The presence of such a powerful individual here is itself something that attracts a lot of attention.

Not to mention that the other party might also be targeting his intended master, "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks...

"Keep an eye on the situation on the island and let me know as soon as you hear anything."

After giving orders to the Navy on Asuka Island, Aokiji hung up the Den Den Mushi.

He looked out at the sea, lost in thought: "If these two really start fighting, it wouldn't be a bad thing for me..."

"The mission is to invite them to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they really don't consider the feelings of our Navy at all..."

Regarding the invitation to "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

There are actually some dissent within the Navy.

After all, the black-haired swordsman rose to fame by stepping on the Navy.

Inviting the other party to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea clearly did not take the Navy's thoughts into account.

However, given the World Government's orders, the Navy dared not disobey, even if they had objections...

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it too much. Let's go take a look..."

Aokiji was too lazy to think about it.

The black-haired swordsman is someone I need to meet, regardless of the outcome...

"But these pirates... they're really arrogant. They don't even react when the warships are approaching? It's really... making me a little annoyed..."

Aokiji's gaze swept across the sea, and many pirate ships came into view.

Perhaps because there was only one warship and many pirate ships, the pirates felt they had the upper hand and didn't turn back immediately upon seeing the warship...

There was even a hint of wanting to try it out...
