One Piece: Starting from Obtaining the Float-Float Fruit

Late at night, Anya and Mihawk remained on the island. During this time, Anya caught a cow, and the two of them slaughtered it and began to eat the meat.

"Ah, the beef on this island is so delicious!" Anya took a bite, and juices splashed all over her face.

Mihawk's way of eating was much more elegant; he seemed to look at Anya's eating with a hint of disdain.

Strangely enough, Mihawk wouldn't eat a single bite of the meat Anya grilled; he only ate the meat he grilled himself.

It must be said that Mihawk's culinary skills are quite superb!

"By the way, why are you on this island? I used my Observation Haki to sense it, and this is practically a godforsaken place, except for a small village."

Mihawk calmly took a bite of meat and then said, "It's nothing, just a pastime when I have nothing else to do. I heard there's a Seven Star Holy Sword on the island, and its wielder can gain unparalleled power."

I just wanted to see what this sword looked like.

Anya was stunned when she heard this. Seven Star Holy Sword? Why does that name sound familiar?

After some thought, Anya finally remembered that this was something that happened in a theatrical film.

Anya remembered that the sword seemed to devour a person's mind.

"I think I've heard of this sword too, but I think you'd better not get your hopes up too high. This sword seems to be a cursed blade."

Mihawk glanced at Anya, then said coldly, "I just wanted to take a look. My sword will always be only Night!"

Anya rolled her eyes. No wonder this eagle-eyed guy will still be single in his forties or fifties; he's probably going to spend his whole life with a knife.

Just as the two had finished their meal, some noises suddenly came from their surroundings.

Both Anya and Mihawk noticed this, but they already knew who the person was.

That's right, the villagers who were stunned by Mihawk's Conqueror's Haki have already woken up.

They approached slowly, and the one in the lead said, "I'm sorry, but please leave this village."

After what happened that morning, the villagers knew that these two people were simply beyond their ability to defeat, so there was no need for them to die in vain.

"What's wrong? Did something happen here?" Anya asked with interest.

"Alas, it's a long story. About three years ago, a group of people came to our island. They seized the Seven Star Holy Sword and cruelly murdered our Holy Maiden."

This Seven Star Holy Sword is a taboo in our village. It is a demonic sword that can steal people's minds. It will only be fully unleashed on the night of the red moon every hundred years.

At this point, the Holy Maiden and the three precious pearls are needed to suppress the demonic sword and keep it sealed. However, there is actually another way to unseal this demonic sword!

That is, to kill the saintess and destroy the three precious orbs! However, those who have been granted power by the demon sword cannot touch the orbs, so for three years they have tried every means to make us destroy these three orbs ourselves.

Originally, all we needed to do was hold our ground, but that cruel guy kidnapped the wives of the timid and cowardly men in our village, using them to blackmail them into destroying the pearl…”

Upon hearing this, Anya raised an eyebrow: "So, he did as I said?"

"That's right, he successfully destroyed two of the orbs, and we hid the last one." After saying this, he collapsed weakly to the ground.

Hmm? That's strange. This gem was still in the future theatrical version, so why have two of them been destroyed now?

"What happened to that man in the end?" Anya continued to ask.

"They went back on their word and killed the man and his wife."

"Where did you hide the last jewel?"

"I'm sorry, but this is the one thing I can't possibly say."

After listening to the man's story, Mihawk simply said "boring" before lying down on the ground, covering his face with his hat, and falling asleep.

"I'm telling you this not so that you'll help us retrieve the Holy Sword, but so that you'll leave quickly."

This village cannot afford to lose any more innocent bystanders.

After saying that, the man in the lead led the group of villagers away.

After watching the villagers leave, Anya stared at the "sleeping" Mihawk, wondering if he had anything to say.

Mihawk: ...

Being constantly watched, it would be a miracle if you could fall asleep.

So he slowly sat up and put his hat back on.

"What, are you going to meddle in other people's business?" Mihawk said, looking at Anya.

"Didn't you also want to see what the Seven Star Holy Sword looks like? What? You don't want to see it anymore? Or are you scared?"

Mihawk: ?

Fear? He doesn't know how to write the word "fear" in his entire life. To become the world's greatest swordsman, he would dare to draw his sword even if Roger were resurrected!

"A pointless attempt to provoke."

……

After a night, Anya felt uncomfortable all over her body.

"Hey, Mihawk, wanna go check it out? We're all pretty free anyway."

Anya extended an invitation.

Mihawk, leaning against the tree, patted himself down, crossed his arms, and snorted coldly.

Seeing him like this, Anya chuckled. This guy seems to really want to meddle in other people's business.

So the two set off for that small village.

Just as the two were halfway there, their eyes suddenly flashed red—a warning sign from their Observation Haki!

The two exchanged a glance, then quickened their pace.

At this moment, inside the village.

A man wielding the Seven Star Holy Sword, along with his men, is arresting villagers indiscriminately. Over the past three years, he has tried everything, from kind words to harsh ones, but the villagers remain stubborn and unyielding.

He was no longer willing to endure it. He was going to kill all these villagers and then wait for the red moon a hundred years from now. At that time, even the precious pearl would be unable to stop the holy sword from being unsealed!

"Damn beast, Salamir! You won't succeed! None of us villagers are spineless. Even if you kill us all, we will never tell you the location of the orb!" the leading villager shouted angrily.

"Haha, I know that very well, which is why I'm going to kill you all!"

Do you remember Rip? That cowardly man who destroyed two precious orbs for my sake, all for his wife.

Upon hearing this familiar name, the villagers fell silent.

To be honest, their attitude towards this man was complicated. Initially, they were furious when they heard that he had helped Salamir destroy the orb.

But after he and his wife were killed, they never uttered a word of blame again.

"Heh, that fool thought he could fool me with two fake pearls? So I cruelly murdered him and his wife, and after searching around the area near the fake pearls, I finally found the two pearls."

"I'm giving you one last chance. Help me destroy the three orbs, and I'll let you live. Otherwise, you'll all die!"

Salamir immediately grabbed a little girl and held a knife to her neck.

When everyone saw the girl he had grabbed, they were immediately alarmed.

"No! No, let her go!" The leading villager struggled to take the girl back.

Maya's grandmother was also restless, struggling internally!

As the girl struggled, suddenly, the wig on her head slowly slipped off, revealing a head of blue hair.
