"Dead people don't need to know too much."
Seeing that Dracule Mihawk treated the Marine as nothing, T Bone roared and raised the long sword in his hand.
Boom
With himself as the center, a powerful Armament Haki that is visible to the naked eye surges out from the blade, like a flood opened from a floodgate.
Once released, it directly covered T Bone's entire body and then soared into the sky.
The rolling Armament Haki began to shape and change.
In an instant, it transformed into the third form of Susanoo, which was fifty meters tall.
"This is."
"Susanoo."
"So, the one who sealed this Haki in your sword must be the Governor of the Four Seas, Rosen!"
Although Dracule Mihawk is a loner, as a great swordsman standing at the pinnacle of the Grand Line, he also has his own sources of intelligence.
Especially when it comes to the strong people standing at the top of the ocean, he has always paid special attention.
As the man who was dubbed the strongest Marine in the millennium, Headquarters and even the World Government, Rosen was naturally the focus of Dracule Mihawk.
Especially in order to deter the increasingly rampant pirate forces, and to accumulate prestige for Rosen.
He intentionally or unintentionally spread the video of Rosen's battle with Douglas Bullet widely in the Grand Line.
That's why.
The top powers of the Grand Line, the three major forces, the Revolutionary Army, etc., basically all knew about the existence of them, and some had even witnessed Rosen's Susanoo.
That majestic posture with the sky above and the earth under your feet.
The kind of power that can tear apart the earth, split the sea, and split the sky with just a wave of the hand.
Everyone who had witnessed the video of Rosen's battle with Douglas Bullet through various intelligence sources was extremely shocked by his massive amount of Armament Haki and the Susanoo shaped by Haki.
As time goes by, Rosen's Haki and the Susanoo he created with his Haki are also known as legendary powers.
"It is possible to use Armament Haki to create a product of Haki called Susanoo, and then seal Susanoo in a weapon, allowing others to use it."
"Only that man in the Four Seas, no, in the entire Grand Line, can do this."
"With such terrifying Haki attainments, if he is willing to practice swordsmanship, he will definitely become a great swordsman who can forge a black knife."
Dracule Mihawk suddenly understood, and when he spoke of Rosen, he couldn't help but express admiration:
"Although it wasn't Rosen himself, and the Haki sealed within your sword is only a portion of his, it's still an honor to battle the legendary Susanoo."
"I hope you, as a container, can perform better."
"Let me see the full extent of Susanoo as much as possible."
Looking at the third form of Susanoo in front of him, Dracule Mihawk's eagle eyes ignited a burning desire to fight.
Among the many Marine men, there are two that he likes most.
One is Rosen.
Not only is his Haki incredibly strong, but his fruit ability can also create swords with all kinds of unique powers.
The second is Borsalino.
Putting aside the Flash Fruit, he is already a great swordsman.
In Dracule Mihawk's eyes, these two were the strongest men in the Marine who were most suitable to help him forge a black sword.
Others, such as Garp, Sakazuki, and Kuzan, are not weak, but they have their own specialties and abilities.
As far as refining the black knife is concerned, Rosen and Borsalino are more suitable opponents.
"As you wish."
"Since you're so eager to see it, I'll let you die under the Governor-General's Susanoo."
"Mihawk."
Seeing that Dracule Mihawk showed no remorse for his wanton hunting and trampling of the Marine, T Bone's anger suddenly died down, replaced by a strong killing intent.
clang
Sensing T Bone's will, the Susanoo covering his body instantly went berserk, raised its huge handle, and used its Armament Haki to condense a long Haki sword that burned like a flame, then slashed towards Dracule Mihawk.
"You are so arrogant."
Upon hearing this, Dracule Mihawk's eagle eyes showed no other emotion except the will to fight.
Once entering into a battle, no matter how vulnerable the opponent is, his rationality will not be affected by any emotions.
Even though T Bone threatened to kill him, his face remained calm.
Bang
Facing the Haki long sword that was sweeping towards him, Dracule Mihawk did not dodge or evade. He just stood on the small boat, raised the black sword Yoru in one hand, and faced it head-on.
Snap
As the two long swords of completely disproportionate sizes collided with each other, a surging storm of slashing immediately exploded, tearing the surging sea surface into shocking cracks.
However,
Facing the huge third form of Susanoo, Dracule Mihawk actually held the sword with one arm, steadily holding up the Haki long sword from above, and even the small boat under his feet showed no signs of damage.
Obviously.
While he was blocking the attack from the third form of Susanoo, he still had the energy to use Haki to protect the ship under his feet.
"Is that all?"
Dracule Mihawk's expression remained unchanged, but his cold voice revealed a hint of disappointment.
T Bone didn't say anything when he heard this. He just glanced at his subordinates who were evacuating behind him, and then an idea came to his mind.
The Susanoo covering his body stretched out its hand and condensed into a Haki longbow.
boom
As the bowstring was pulled to the full moon and then released, a roar like a dragon's roar suddenly rang out.
call out
A Haki arrow emitting a deep purple light pierced the sound barrier the moment it was shot out, accompanied by a sharp sonic boom, and headed straight for Dracule Mihawk's chest.
call out
Facing the Haki arrow that broke through the air, Dracule Mihawk did not dodge or evade. Instead, he used one arm to exert force and used the long sword in his hand to deflect the Haki long sword that Susanoo had chopped down before. Then, he turned the blade and used a simple move like "Piercing Sun Slash", which burst out with unparalleled sharpness and directly pierced the Haki arrow.
Immediately following.
He raised the long sword in front of him and chopped it down from top to bottom. After the sword passed through the air, it left a faint knife mark.
then.
Bang
A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, resounded across the sea.
An incomparably huge slashing wave, like a super-large sea king surging from the depths of the ocean, carrying the momentum of splitting mountains and splitting seas, slammed towards T Bone.
In a flash, the Haki longbow in Susanoo's hand turned into the Yata no Kagami, which stood in front of him like a small mountain, blocking Dracule Mihawk's slashing wave head-on.
Bang bang bang
The rolling slashing storm was like a raging sea, stirring in all directions.
at the same time.
T Bone and the Susanoo covering his body were defeated step by step. Even the Yata no Kagami in his hand was damaged by the slashing wave, and cracks visible to the naked eye appeared.
Like a broken piece of porcelain, it can break into pieces at any time.
