A week later.
clang! clang! clang!
Red, green, and silver slash waves flying all over the sky completely flattened the ground that was originally a ruin.
Wherever the slashing wave hits, no object can withstand it for more than a second. Even steel is as fragile as a piece of paper.
This is the great swordsman who can kill everything!
"Alas~"
Lukar sighed helplessly.
Because this half-hour duel between great swordsmen is about to end.
The black sword stably cut out a cross slash wave, easily defeating the weakest silver slash wave, and injuring the great swordsman holding a Western sword in the direction.
Without Fiona's assistance, Shiliu didn't last long, and after another ten minutes of hard fighting, he was defeated.
Fortunately, the great black sword swordsman finally stopped and did not continue the pursuit, so that the two swordsmen in Impel Down City did not die on the spot.
Of course, it may also have something to do with the two muscular men standing on the sidelines watching the battle.
Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk, the owner of the Black Knife Night, one of the Twelve Skills of the Supreme Knife, is recognized as the "World's No. 1 Swordsman" by the sea, and is also one of the first Shichibukai kings. a member of.
Judging from the battle performance just now, he is indeed qualified to hold this title.
In Lukar's view, Mihawk's strength has definitely reached the top level. He is the only swordsman he has seen so far who can compete with the great swordsman of Wano, Kozuki Odenichi, who he fought against back then. Strong.
Just now, Shiliu and Fiona's joint efforts failed to push Mihawk to his full strength. They only used the most unpretentious swordsmanship to defeat two of their generals.
The battle is over.
Lukar walked up to Mihawk, looked at the other person's sharp eyes like eagle eyes, and recalled the other person's information.
"Mihawk, your strength is very good, stronger than I thought. But what I am curious about is, why did a man with your strength agree to become the king of the Shichibukai instead of going to the new world to fight for hegemony? Even if it is With your strength, you are qualified to compete for the position of overlord of the new world."
"Strive for hegemony? I have no interest in pirates, they are a bunch of boring careerists." Mihawk shook his head slightly, "The Shichibukai can help me reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles, and also allow me to find more interesting swordsmen. !”
"A pure swordsman?"
Lukar nodded, he already understood what type Mihawk was.
Mihawk is a relatively pure swordsman, a bit like himself. He doesn't like to be constrained by some forms, and just wants to focus all his energy on swordsmanship. The position of Qibukai is just to reduce the interference from the outside world in his practice.
Plus analysis of Mihawk provided by Caesar.
After going to sea for so many years, I was either challenging famous swordsmen or looking for opponents.
Because of this, he caused some trouble and was labeled a pirate by the navy. But in fact, Mihawk didn't even have a pirate flag and had always been a loner.
This is very similar to Brother Yixiao, who also has great strength and likes to wander around alone.
"Mihawk, I have recognized your strength, but since you enjoy the power brought by the Shichibukai, you must also abide by the responsibilities corresponding to the power!" Lukar said solemnly.
To say that he approves of the world's greatest swordsman, he is probably the only person present who is qualified to say this.
Even Mihawk didn't feel any objection.
Although his strength and achievements are already famous on the sea, they are still inferior compared to Lucar's battle with Jabba, his single-handed killing of the legendary pirate Wang Zhi, his joint effort to capture the Golden Lion, and his reputation for killing on the sea. Quite a few.
Mihawk is not a new pirate who just went to sea. He can be considered a contemporary of Lukar, and he still has a deep memory of the past history.
"good."
Mihawk agreed calmly.
This straightforward style surprised Lukar. He didn't expect this arrogant-looking guy to be so easy to talk to.
"Since you agreed, I believe you will not break your promise. After talking about the business, I still have a private matter I want to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
"I want to have a fight with you!" Lukar was a little excited.
The battle just now made his hands itch, and the strength Mihawk showed made his heart move!
"..."
Mihawk was silent for a while.
There was no direct answer, but he avoided Lukar's fiery gaze, glanced around the surrounding field, and shook his head.
"I have been to the South China Sea, and that gravel island has turned into a volcano..."
"I understand what you mean, we can choose a desert island as the stage!"
Of course Lukar knew that if there was an all-out fight here, Mihawk's home would be destroyed.
But....
Mihawk still chose to refuse: "Compared with a spar with Lieutenant General Boulder, I would rather have a battle with Lieutenant General Red Devil."
"Caesar??" Lukar blinked.
"Yes, fighting a powerful swordsman is what I'm looking forward to."
"Well...."
Lukar was speechless.
Uncomfortable!
Such a strong man was in front of him, but the other party was unwilling to fight against a well-known strong man like him. He only wanted to fight against Caesar, who rarely took action.
The reason is that I am not a swordsman...
At this moment, Lukar felt as if he was being disliked.
His fruit abilities, physical skills, and domineering skills have all been cultivated to a very powerful level.
But he only doesn’t know swordsmanship and can’t use a knife!
He prefers to fight with his own body rather than with a knife.
Lukar sighed regretfully: "Oh~ Well, since you don't want to, forget it. As for Caesar, I'll go back and ask his opinion. He hasn't really made a move for a long time, and he should be looking forward to the world with you. Let’s have a showdown between the best swordsmen.”
This time, it was Mihawk who looked expectantly.
Red Devils Vice Admiral Nishizawa, this Navy Vice Admiral rarely takes action, and many people don't even know how strong he is.
But he is the most important right-hand man of the tyrant in front of him. Every time Lukar takes action outside, it is said that Caesar is planning behind it. There are rumors in the sea that Caesar is a wise and mysterious swordsman.
Mihawk wanted to know how powerful this famous naval swordsman was.
Originally, he was not very interested, but after seeing the strength of Lukar's other right-hand man, Barrett, he felt that the strength of the other Red Devils Lieutenant General would definitely not be weak.
He even thought that maybe the Red Devil Lieutenant General's swordsmanship was so powerful that it was possible to defeat his own strength.
Thinking of this, Mihawk even couldn't wait to have a duel with Caesar.
If Lukar knew what Mihawk was thinking, he would definitely yell, "You are thinking too much!"
Although over the years, Caesar's strength has indeed become much stronger.
But there is a very cruel reality in this world, that is, those who can become the strongest person in the world are absolutely terrifying in terms of talent.
Unfortunately.
In terms of swordsmanship talent, Nishizawa can only be said to be a very good genius swordsman, far from a real monster.
But from beginning to end.
The truly terrifying thing about Caesar is not his combat prowess, but his wisdom that convinced both Lukar and him!
As for the lack of combat effectiveness.
Two monsters, Lucal and Barrett, are enough!
This is the style of the Monolith.
Of course, having said that, there may be a gap between Nishizawa and top swordsmen like Mihawk in terms of swordsmanship, but the gap is not too big.
At least it's easy to handle things like Shiliu!
…
Subsequently.
Completed the inspection on Mihawk's side.
The Boulder set off again, heading to its next destination.
only.....
After leaving Krayingana Island.
There is an unexpected new passenger on the Boulder.
"Mihawk, the red wine you collected has a rich aroma and a mellow taste. It's really good! It's just a pity that the taste is a bit bland, not as strong as the ten-year-old wine I collected!"
"Hey, I didn't expect that Director Lukar would be so good at this drink!"
"Of course, everyone must have one or two hobbies in life. I don't have any other leisure hobbies. The only thing I can't give up is wine!"
Lukar held a red wine glass and said to Mihawk who was sitting opposite him with a smile while sipping the red wine.
There are still many topics to talk about between the two old drunkards.
As for why Mihawk appeared here, Lukar was actually quite surprised.
Before, he told Caesar what Mihawk wanted to discuss, and Caesar agreed directly, but he is now guarding Impel Down City.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
He won't be leaving for a short time. If Mihawk wants to come over for a discussion, he needs to wait for him to advance to the city to fight.
So Mihawk proposed that he wanted to board the Monolith, patrol with the Monolith, and return to Impel Down together when the patrol was over.
In the end it became what it is now.
Of course Lukar didn't care, especially since the other party also brought out a lot of fine wine from his collection. How could he disagree?
The only thing that made him a little uncomfortable was...
His cheap apprentice Perona, for some reason, was very fond of the man she met for the first time and ran to Mihawk every day.
Of course he is definitely not jealous!
I simply feel that I haven’t found a place in the battle, but in terms of drinking, I must defeat the world’s number one swordsman today!
The battle raged until midnight.
Seeing Mihawk being carried back to the cabin with Fiona's support, Lucal couldn't help but burst out laughing!
"Hahaha, the world's best swordsman is nothing more than that!!"
Facts have proved that when it comes to drinking, I am invincible! !
The empty wine barrels that have covered the ground are the best proof of his achievements!
Robin couldn't help but slap his forehead, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Childish man!"
Originally, she was sleeping at this time, but she didn't expect to be called over by this unscrupulous teacher, who promised that Shirley was going to have a rest and asked her to take the shift to get the wine!
Because of Captain Lucar's style, the largest storage volume on the Boulder is all kinds of wine.
"Robin, please clean up here, I'm going back first!"
"What!!!"
Robin couldn't believe his ears.
This is too much!
Hearing Robin's question, Lucar turned around leisurely, looked at Robin's angry eyes, and said with a ferocious smile: "Haha, don't think I don't know. After leaving the Terror Trimax, you secretly reduced the amount of training. Yes I think you’ve become a master, right? Otherwise..."
"Teacher, I'd love to stay and clean!"
Robin showed a cute smile, showing no reluctance at all.
Until Lukar leaves here.
The smile on Robin's face disappeared instantly, his face fell down, and he punched Lukar hard in the direction he left.
"tyrant!!!"
