One Piece: Starting from Obtaining the Float-Float Fruit

The village was very lively tonight; they held a grand banquet to entertain Anya and Mihawk.

However, Mihawk didn't seem to eat a single bite.

"Mihawk! Eat up! Don't let the villagers' kindness go to waste; you're a great hero!"

Mihawk, who had contributed the most, didn't touch a bite, while Anya ate with her mouth full of oil.

At this moment, Maya slowly walked up to Mihawk, holding a piece of meat, and timidly said, "Uncle Mihawk, is the food tonight not to your liking?"

Mihawk looked at the meat Maya offered, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then patted Maya's head, took the meat from her hand, and began to eat it gracefully.

"……Thanks."

Eh~ Anya looked at Mihawk with disdain. He wouldn't eat the meat she offered, but he would eat the meat offered by a little girl. Could it be that Mihawk is a lolicon?

Suddenly, Mihawk looked at Anya with a puzzled expression. Why did he feel that Anya was looking at him strangely?

"Mihawk, have you ever heard the saying, 'Eat meat with good wine, and you'll live to ninety-nine'? Come on, let's drink!"

Anya handed over a glass of fine wine brewed by the villagers themselves, its aroma filling the air.

Mihawk looked at the drink Anya offered and suddenly fell silent.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Aren't you going to drink?" Anya asked, puzzled.

That shouldn't be the case, isn't Mihawk's favorite drinker?

"It's nothing. I was just thinking that on the ship I was on, there were two bottles of top-quality wine that I couldn't bear to drink under my seat, and you smashed them."

Mihawk's tone was low and deep, as if his words could drip water.

Anya immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "Hahaha, I'll make it up to you, I will."

Mihawk seemed to feel a little better after hearing that Anya would compensate him. He took the wine Anya offered and slowly sipped it.

Anya, however, was not in a good mood. Damn it, how did he end up owing more and more money? Besides the three million Berries he had with him, how could he possibly pay it back?

Oh well, things will work themselves out. At worst, I'll let Mihawk capture me and take me to the Navy, exchange me for 100 million Berries, and then figure out how to escape...

No, forget it. What if I get handcuffed with sea stone? That would be the end of me.

Let me think about it again, or maybe we should try to grab a spot?

As for who to rob... that's a question Anya needs to think about carefully.

Celestial Dragons? Yeah, rob the Celestial Dragons! Wouldn't that make tons of money?

Anya is already planning how to deal with the Celestial Dragons!

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, they stayed overnight in the village.

The next day, the two left the island after being seen off by the villagers.

As for how they left... they took the boat that Salamir had left on the island.

"By the way, Mihawk, don't you feel uncomfortable sitting on this ship?" Anya asked.

Although Anya didn't know what had happened in Mihawk's past, judging from the fact that the person called Mihawk "Captain" and Mihawk's experience of being betrayed, it certainly wasn't a good thing.

"A ship is just a tool, and besides, he's just an ant. Why would I be bothered by him?" Mihawk said calmly, taking a sip of red wine.

"That's true. So, what are your thoughts on the Seven Star Holy Sword?"

"That's just a boring knife," Mihawk commented incisively.

A boring knife...

It must be said that the Seven Star Holy Sword can indeed greatly enhance a person's abilities. In the original movie, Zoro's friend was just an ordinary swordsman, but after coming into contact with the cursed sword, he was able to defeat Luffy, who had previously defeated Crocodile.

Although he was eventually defeated by Zoro, it was because of human factors, not because of the Seven Star Holy Sword.

Salamir was already quite strong, and with the Seven Star Holy Sword, his strength should be enough to defeat one or two Shichibukai!

However, when faced with a powerful and domineering individual, this demonic sword will certainly be unable to affect their mind, rendering it a useless weapon.

"By the way, Mihawk, teach me swordsmanship. Nobody there knows swordsmanship, so we can only train by swinging a sword."

Mihawk was initially uninterested in Anya's request, given Anya's limited swordsmanship skills and his belief that even with effort, she wouldn't be a good swordsmanship opponent.

Moreover, Anya is someone who ate a Devil Fruit, and Mihawk felt that he was not pure at all.

However, for some reason, he suddenly became interested and wanted to see just how far this man who inherited the Golden Lion Fruit and the sword could go.

Although Anya had not systematically studied swordsmanship, he had actually sought out a dragon to correct his sword-wielding movements, so he could at least perform the most basic sword techniques of horizontal and vertical strokes perfectly.

"I am a one-sword style swordsman, while you are a two-sword style swordsman. I will try my best to teach you all my swordsmanship, but how to use the two-sword style is up to you," Mihawk stated beforehand.

"No problem!" Anya patted his chest, confident that he could do it.

"Kendo is actually an extension of the body. Your movements are stiff and lack any skill because you treat the sword as a tool!"

Your sword is not flexible enough; it's all hardness and no softness. You need to imagine the sword as part of your body. Compared to your body, the sword has a longer attack range and is sharper.

What you need to do is treat the sword like your own arm, swinging it however you want.

As he spoke, Mihawk immediately demonstrated, and his heavy broadsword was swung like a ribbon, and it even seemed to bend.

Mihawk's sword seemed to have grown joints; it appeared light and agile, yet while bending, it carried terrifying power.

When Anya saw this, she also tried to imitate him.

After swinging it for a while, Anya shook her head in frustration: "No, I can't get the feel for it. I always feel that the sword in my hand has too much presence. I can't imagine how the sword can become a part of my body."

Mihawk watched Anya swing her sword, seemingly noticing something, and asked, "Have you ever heard of the Navy's Six Powers?"

"Naval Six Styles? I know them all!" Anya was taken aback.

"Hmm? You can do all of that?" Mihawk frowned.

This guy is a wanted person by the Navy, so why does he know the Navy's Six Powers?

Never mind, none of that matters.

Mihawk continued, "The so-called Six Styles of the Navy include a move called Tempest Kick and another called Finger Pistol. You should know that these two moves essentially treat the body as a weapon."

What you need to do is reverse these two techniques, letting the weapon replace the body, making the weapon an extension of the body, rather than turning the body into a weapon!

Under Mihawk's encouragement, Anya's eyes lit up: "Mihawk! You're a genius! How come I never thought of that before!"

Then, Anya held the withered wood, her eyes narrowing.

"Finger Gun & Sword!"

That's right, Anya tried to use her sword to perform a finger gun, and to her surprise, it actually worked, and the effect was surprisingly good.

A hole was immediately pierced in the sea where Anya drew her sword.

When Mihawk saw this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He felt that he might have underestimated Anya's talent!
