Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

"Although I don't know the details, that person has [Sakura Ten] and [Wood Dry], and I'm very interested in him."

"Hmm~ What a terrifyingly powerful swordsman~"

Kizaru chuckled, but still believed Hawkeye Mihawk's explanation.

"Although I completely cannot understand the way you swordsmen think, you should stay here until I ascertain your true purpose..."

Upon hearing this, Hawkeye Mihawk's expression remained unchanged; he simply reached for the Supreme Grade Sword [Black Blade Night] on his back.

"I've heard that Admiral Kizaru of the Marine Headquarters possesses a sword named after a mythical weapon."

Hawkeye Mihawk slowly drew his Black Blade Night, the dark tip pointing directly at Kizaru.

"Where is your 'Kusanagi Sword'?"

Kizaru narrowed his eyes, clearly sensing the astonishing aura emanating from Hawkeye Mihawk.

"He really is the 'World's Greatest Swordsman'~ How terrifying~"

Kizaru is planning to create a "Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi".

at this time.

A startling roar came from the side.

"Hawkeye Mihawk!"

The next moment.

A dark figure rushed towards Hawkeye Mihawk, moving with lightning speed. In his hand, he held the famous sword "Thunderstorm," its blood-red, eerie blade tracing a sharp arc in mid-air.

Hawkeye Mihawk was fully prepared. His Observation Haki clearly sensed the intrusion of an unfamiliar aura. Without hesitation, he raised his Black Blade Night and held it in front of him.

clang--

The blades of [Black Blade Night] and [Thunderstorm] clashed, instantly producing a crisp and loud metallic clang, with sparks flying everywhere.

"This is... the famous sword [Thunderstorm]?"

Hawkeye Mihawk's eyes first fell on the sword, and then on the person.

"who are you?"

"After I defeat you..."

Shiryu of the Rain gripped the hilt of the sword "Thunderstorm" tightly, and jet-black Armament Haki surged forth, instantly transforming the famous sword into a "black blade."

"You'll naturally find out my name!"

Since Ian arrived in Impel Down.

Shiryu couldn't eat or sleep well, and even his thoughts of killing people had faded considerably.

Back when Ian was in Impel Down.

Shiliu was taught a lesson by Ian.

After the other party left Impel Down.

Shiliu continued to train intensely in prison, hoping to find an opportunity to take revenge in the future.

But a week ago.

Ian's simple "abdominal punch" directly shattered Shiryu's dream of revenge.

· ········Requesting flowers····· ·····

He didn't even see Ian's movement before being knocked down by a single punch.

The gap in strength between them is simply too great...

Even Shiryu was somewhat desperate.

Over the past week.

Shiryu constantly wavered between the two extreme emotions of "wanting revenge" and "having no hope of revenge".

I feel like a pressure cooker that's about to explode!

Now Hawkeye Mihawk suddenly appears.

Shiryu felt he had finally found a chance to vent!

"interesting!"

Hawkeye Mihawk's lips curled slightly as he sensed the astonishing sword intent emanating from Shiryu of the Rain.

This is a rare master swordsman in the vast ocean.

The most crucial point is.

Hawkeye Mihawk had never fought this great swordsman before!

This is so exciting!

Hawkeye Mihawk unleashed his power, forcing Shiryu of the Rain back two body lengths.

He held the Black Blade Night in both hands, the heavy, black two-handed cross sword spinning in mid-air, tracing several unpredictable trajectories, before suddenly pointing at Shiryu of the Rain from another tricky angle.

Shiryu of the Rain's pupils contracted slightly, and a crimson light shone deep within his eyes, clearly indicating that he had activated his Observation Haki and was trying his best to sense the trajectory of Hawkeye Mihawk's sword swing.

　at the same time.

Shiryu of the Rain also began to wield his Thunderstorm sword, attempting to parry the attack of Night Blade.

But this time.

The blades of [Black Blade Night] and [Thunderstorm] only briefly touched before the blades withdrew.

... . ....

The Supreme Grade Sword drew a perfect arc in mid-air, its attack position suddenly changing from above to below. The black blade gently slashed upwards, as if to disembowel Shiryu of the Rain.

Shiryu of the Rain dared not be careless in the slightest, and immediately took a step back to avoid the attack of [Black Blade Night].

But it was at this step that Shiryu of the Rain's entire aura was immediately suppressed by Hawkeye Mihawk.

Hawkeye Mihawk swung his Black Blade Night upwards, then took a step forward, and the Black Blade Night, at its highest point, suddenly changed angle and slashed downwards.

Shiryu of the Rain wielded [Thunderstorm], attempting to parry the blade of [Black Blade Night].

But the powerful Black Blade Night slashed heavily onto the blade of Thunderstorm, causing the latter's blade to tremble violently and be knocked away on the spot.

Shiliu had no choice but to retreat further.

[Black Blade Night] deflected [Thunderstorm]'s blade and continued its downward slash.

Hawkeye Mihawk pressed his advantage, flipping himself in mid-air, the powerful rotation causing [Black Blade Night] to swing in a perfect arc once more.

The invisible sword energy emanating from it rotated along the blade of the [Black Blade Night], like a strange and terrifying black full moon rising from the sea.

At this critical moment, Shiryu once again wielded [Thunderstorm] in an attempt to block.

But this time.

Hawkeye Mihawk's immense power sent Shiryu flying with a single slash.

The deputy director flew out of the first level of Impel Down like a shooting star and crashed into the vast ocean.

It only took three rounds.

Shiryu of the Rain was defeated by Hawkeye Mihawk's swordsmanship.

The deputy director's body crashed into the calm sea, creating a huge wave.

The drifting bubbles are like his crumbling ambitions...

"Truly worthy of being the world's greatest swordsman!"

Kizaru looked approving and clapped lightly.

“Even Shiryu, who is as strong as a monster, is no match for you.”

Hearing Kizaru's "praise".

Hawkeye Mihawk remained completely unmoved.

In his eyes, casually dismissing a great swordsman was nothing to be happy about.

"Kizaru..."

Hawkeye Mihawk was just about to continue challenging Kizaru.

Just at this moment.

Two figures walked out of the city.

Ian and Magellan have arrived.

Hawkeye Mihawk's sharp gaze lingered on Magellan for a moment.

He didn't see the other person's sword, so the other person was most likely not a swordsman.

Hawkeye Mihawk has no interest in people like that.

But there's another person...

Hawkeye Mihawk looked at Ian, his gaze first focusing on the [Iron Ore Saber] worn at the other's waist.

"White Dragon?"

Hawkeye Mihawk recognized the knife, and then he also recognized Ian's identity.

"You are here too?"

"I should be the one saying that, Hawkeye Mihawk."

Ian stepped forward, staring at the world's greatest swordsman who had suddenly appeared.

"This is Impel Down. How did you end up here?"

"Could it be someone who came to turn themselves in?" (Dead)

Chapter 165 Old Huang, do you want to be a pirate or not?

"Confess?"

Hawkeye Mihawk glanced at Ian, then at Kizaru, and sheathed the Black Blade Night.

"As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he actually said something similar to that of a Marine Admiral."

"White Dragon, I'm very curious, what exactly is your 'stance'?"

"However, I came to Impel Down only to find the Golden Lion II."

Hawkeye Mihawk's words and actions undoubtedly conveyed one meaning—

He had no intention of being enemies with Ian and Kizaru.

Precisely.

Hawkeye Mihawk has no interest in Impel Down.

Ian looked at Kizaru, who gave him a "don't worry" look.

"Hawkeye Mihawk".

Magellan, the warden of Impel Down, stepped forward and frowned as he looked at the world's greatest swordsman.

"Whether your words are true or false, you shall not leave Impel Down until the government and the navy provide their opinions."

"random."

Hawkeye Mihawk was completely unfazed by Magellan's cold attitude, and he spoke calmly.

"You can contact the government or the navy."

at this time.

A "whoosh" sound came from the sea not far away.

Shiryu of the Rain leaped out of the sea, his clothes soaking wet, and returned to the first level of the ocean.

"Hawkeye Mihawk!"

The deputy director's eyes were like those of a venomous snake, fixed intently on Hawkeye Mihawk.
