The Great Voyage: I Became Nami's Brother at the Start

"This is the drop tower." Norton first led Mihawk to the drop tower, had him sit on it, and then had someone take his wine glass.

"Sit down and get ready!" Du Sen kindly reminded him before it started.

Mihawk crossed his arms expressionlessly. (b(￣ー￣)d)

A dozen seconds later...

Uh...

Mihawk, who had risen high into the sky, suddenly changed his expression and fell back down, almost drawing his sword at that moment.

"Mihawk, don't hold back! This is all about letting loose! Shout it out if you want to, that's what makes it fun!" Norton said, suppressing a laugh as he saw Mihawk's face turn even redder.

No sooner had I finished speaking than the drop tower went up again.

Mihawk was already standing with his arms crossed, his face red with seriousness.

But a few seconds later...

Ah ah ah ah ah……

Mihawk screamed as he came down!

Upon landing, perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol and excessive stimulation, Mihawk wore a strange smile.

(*￣▽￣*)

"Could he have gone mad from playing around?" Norton wondered.

"What else is fun? This is really interesting!" Mihawk seemed to have unlocked a mysterious secret to happiness, turning his head to look at the other facilities.

Chapter 72 The Strongest Sky-Slashing Technique

"What else is fun? This is really interesting!" Mihawk seemed to have unlocked a mysterious secret to happiness, turning his head to look at the other facilities.

Hearing his words, Norton felt as if a song was playing in his ears...

What is Happy Planet...?≥O?O≤

"Ah...wow...wow...so good!!"

(P.S.: Mihawk's language skills are poor, so Norton taught him a stress-relieving shouting method on the spot! A rustic Chinese accent...)

Next, Mihawk's excited and thrilling screams filled the entire amusement park, completely dispelling his aloof demeanor.

Norton chuckled, stroking his chin below: "So what if you're Mihawk? You still ended up kneeling, didn't you? A D-class amusement park plus D-class liquor, that combination! Anyone would kneel down!"

A D-level amusement park, but it has a relaxing effect.

No matter how aloof this guy is, he still drank this bottle of D-grade baijiu. How could he withstand such a powerful effect?

This completely loosened Mihawk's ego, and he even found a sense of returning to his childhood while riding the pirate ship.

As a child, he always wanted to play such a fun game, but he never had the chance.

Now that I'm older and more famous, I finally have this opportunity.

This unbridled release unexpectedly led to a situation!

Mihawk clearly felt that his strength had suddenly broken through, and he had become stronger again!

If the system hadn't been upgraded, Norton would definitely have discovered through the system that Mihawk's overall strength had increased from A+ to S!

This unexpected joy made him even more relaxed!

After Mihawk finished riding the Ferris wheel and carousel, all his aloofness vanished, and he just grinned like an idiot.

"Is that all?" Dusen asked in a low voice.

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, this is called having fun," Norton corrected him very seriously.

Mihawk didn't react at all. Norton was right; he was indeed having a lot of fun.

"Let's go!" After standing there for a while, mentally preparing himself and managing his expression, Mihawk finally managed to restore his serious red expression.

That night, having had a great time and drunk his fill, Mihawk didn't rush to teach everyone swordsmanship on the first day of his classes.

Instead, he first showed them the pinnacle of swordsmanship in his own way, thereby broadening everyone's horizons and opening their minds.

The palace was built against the mountain, so the area behind the palace training grounds was also a mountainous and forested area.

When Colt and Dusen arrived with more than fifty people, and Norton, Nami, Nojiko, and Luffy also arrived, Hawkeye made his move.

"Watch closely, all of you! To reach the highest level of swordsmanship, it's essential to know just how high this mountain is!"

After saying that, Hawkeye gripped the black sword Yoru and suddenly unleashed his Haki.

A ring of Mihawk's unique blue Haki wrapped around the blade of Black Blade Night, and then he casually swung the blade towards the forest.

"Shh-"

With a single slash, a streak of cyan blade light flew out diagonally.

"Crack... Boom..."

Wherever the blade's edge passed, whether it was trees or rocks, everything was cleaved in two by this slash!

"Wow--"

Seeing such power, everyone present gaped and exclaimed in unison.

"So strong!"

"Yeah, that's impressive!"

What would happen if that knife were to strike me?

"You probably couldn't be sewn up even with a needle and thread..."

"My God... can you please stop making it sound so scary!"

After being shocked for more than ten seconds, the crowd began to discuss it in amazement.

"Everyone, this is the kendo instructor I've invited for you. What do you think?" Norton turned to look at the crowd.

"Greetings, mentor!"

Who the hell would dare to disagree? As soon as Norton finished speaking, they all bowed to Hawkeye.

"Alright, starting tomorrow, we will officially begin learning swordsmanship. Let's call it a day for today. You should all reflect on that last strike and elevate your perspective and mindset."

After saying that, the aloof young man slung Black Knife Night over his shoulder and turned around to return to the room that Norton had arranged for him with practiced ease.

Norton was overjoyed when Mihawk left.

Why was he so happy again?

The system was just upgrading and gave a notification sound!

The system's functions are working properly, including the ability to record and merge techniques!

[Ding! Recorded the strongest air-slicing technique of the great swordsman, capable of cleaving the heavens, the earth, and even the air. Host, would you like to fuse with it?]

[Ding! Recording advanced Armament Haki enveloping the area. Integrate?]

"Fusion! I knew it! Mihawk really is a treasure! I never imagined his swordsmanship had reached such a domineering level. No wonder he only swings his hand casually in every battle. He must have reached the point of simplifying complexity and returning to the essence!"

With a sigh, Norton felt two forces merge into his mind and then into his body.

The next second, Norton raised his right hand, and a paper sword appeared in his hand. He then, under everyone's shocked gaze, wrapped the paper sword with purplish-red domineering energy and swung it out.

Swah——

A purplish-red aerial slash, much smaller than Mihawk's, shot out, cutting down several trees along the way, but it wasn't as dramatic as Mihawk's.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

Seeing this, Colt, regaining his senses, led the cheers.

Mihawk, who had only gone halfway, couldn't help but frown: "He mastered it after just one demonstration? This kid's talent is truly terrifying!"

“But this is good! This… makes it more interesting!” With a twitch at the corner of his mouth (!?!), Mihawk continued walking forward.

His idea was simple: wait until Norton matured and trained well, then he could have a big fight with him!

"Hahaha... Come on! Let's get this started!" Norton laughed heartily, led his men to the sidelines for a drink, and began another day of training.

Nojiko's flashback was held in her hand, and she imitated the sword swinging, but there was no reaction at all.

"Don't rush, take your time. Before you master Haki, you can try wrapping your Devil Fruit ability around your sword!" Norton came over and gave him a reminder.

Nojiko's eyes lit up, and he immediately gripped the knife with his right hand, crossed his fingers with his left hand, and tried to wrap the blade with his Devil Fruit power.

In this way, the blade of the flashback becomes even sharper and stronger, truly giving the impression of enveloping the weapon in a domineering aura.

Norton looked at everyone and clapped his hands, saying, "Everyone, don't panic! Plan your time well! The three hours of training tonight will be divided into three sessions: the first hour for physical fitness, the second hour for martial arts, and the third hour for swordsmanship! Only with this orderly training will things stay organized!"

Chapter 73 Shiki's Attack

"Yes!"

After giving his instructions, Norton walked alone towards the back of the palace.

……

The following morning, Norton received another call from Colt.

While he was doing his morning exercise, he learned that another person had arrived!

Meanwhile, Eileen also opened the door back to the Kingdom of Oycot. She had successfully marked the island, so she could just open the door and go there for future deliveries.

After meeting Eileen and exchanging a few pleasantries, Norton had Eileen open the door and the group arrived at the port.

"teacher!"

"Uncle, it's you!"

Upon seeing that the person standing on the beach was none other than Rayleigh, Norton grinned and led the group over, embracing Rayleigh tightly.

After this period of drinking and training, Norton, who will soon be 16, has grown to a height of two meters.

If Norton hadn't called out "Teacher" first, confirming to Rayleigh that the person running towards him was indeed Norton, Rayleigh would have almost drawn his sword.

Suddenly being hugged by his apprentice, who was even taller than him, Rayleigh smiled somewhat absentmindedly.
