...

"The world's most powerful swordsman?"

"Perfect as my guard dog."

"If you didn't have this kind of weight, I would still have a headache."

Faced with the bold words spoken by Dracule Mihawk, Rosen laughed instead of getting angry.

Just right.

There was only one guard dog at home, Donquixote Doflamingo, which was not enough.

Moreover, Heavenly Yaksha is strong in managing power, not in fighting power.

It is barely enough to intimidate the four seas and the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line.

But when facing the pirates of the New World, Donquixote Doflamingo really can't bite them with his teeth.

It would be different if it was Dracule Mihawk.

Even though Yoru has not yet been refined into the world's strongest black sword, his strength has already reached the pinnacle of the ocean, and he will take the final step at any time to become the Black Sword Hawkeye.

After wearing the collar, these Seven Warlords of the Sea can hunt monsters from the New World at will.

"Then give it a try."

"Between you and me, who is the hunter and who is the prey?"

"Rosen."

Dracule Mihawk pulled out the Yoru behind him, and the Armament Haki flowed out from the palm of his hand holding the sword, turning into purple and black streams of light, entwining around the blade of the Supreme Sword Yoru.

clang

As the sound of metal clashing rang out, the Yoru in his hand had turned into a black knife.

After fighting with Rosen's remotely controlled Susanoo and being suppressed for a short period of time, he knew very well how powerful the Marine in front of him was.

It is simply not comparable to the Marine he had hunted in the past.

Now that Rosen has come to the North Blue in person, he can no longer use the limited Armament Haki, but also Conqueror's Haki, Observation Haki, and the ability of the fruit.

Facing such an existence, Dracule Mihawk knew that he had to give it his all.

If you win, you will become the most powerful swordsman in the world.

If he loses, he will become Rosen's lackey.

"Use your complete Susanoo."

"Rosen."

Dracule Mihawk held the sword in his hand and pointed it at Rosen, unleashing his unreserved and complete sword intent and majestic Haki.

Rosen ignored Dracule Mihawk's suggestion to use Susanoo himself, and instead looked at the knife in his hand.

Yoru.

Although it has not yet been refined into a black sword, the quality of this sword itself is ranked among the twelve supreme swords.

Once it is refined into a black knife.

It can be said to be the strongest in the world.

"Both man and sword must be the strongest in the world."

"Is that so?"

Through the perception of Observation Haki, Rosen saw what Dracule Mihawk was thinking.

This is a man who is arrogant to the core.

As a swordsman, Dracule Mihawk wants to be the strongest in the world.

As a sword, it must also become the strongest among the supreme swords.

"If you are not the strongest in the world, you are unworthy of being a swordsman."

Dracule Mihawk's eyes flickered, as if he had noticed something, but the war was about to begin, and no matter what it was, it could not stop him from climbing to the throne of the world's strongest and forging Yoru into the world's strongest black sword.

"I see."

"Your swordsmanship, and the Yoru in your hands, I will destroy them completely."

Rosen nodded slightly, but did not release the Armament Haki to construct the complete Susanoo. Instead, he stretched out his hand to the sky on the right, spread out his five fingers, and then gathered them one by one towards the palm of his hand.

clang

As his five fingers clasped together, a Zanpakutō appeared out of thin air and was held in his palm.

"Shikai."

"Zangetsu."

Rosen tightened his grip on the knife slightly, then called out a name in a slightly lowered voice.

hold head high

The sword roared like a dragon, resounding through the sky.

The slash is like a crescent moon, hanging in the sky.

When Rosen called out Zangetsu's name, the sky of the South Blue was filled with the sound of a sword that shook the heavens and was like the roar of a dragon. Although it was clearly daytime, in addition to the sun, there was a dark crescent moon in the sky.

A terrifying sharp edge cut through the atmosphere in all directions, causing the entire South Blue to tremble.

"This oppression."

"Even a great swordsman is no more than this!"

Feeling the overwhelming roar of swords and sharp edges, Dracule Mihawk's heart was shaken.

At this time.

The crescent moon, hovering in the sky and emitting a brilliant blue and white light, slowly dissipated.

Rosen's figure appeared again in the sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

at this time.

The Zanpakutō in his hand had disappeared, replaced by two blades, one long and one short, emitting a black glow, which fell into his hands respectively.

Getsuga Tenshō!

Getsuga Jūjishō!

Previously, when Douglas Bullet set out for the Germa 66 to carry out the mission of bringing Vinsmoke Judge back to the 1st Branch, Rosen had promised to fight him again as long as Douglas Bullet completed the mission on schedule.

After becoming a Marine, Douglas Bullet has undoubtedly become more powerful after being taught by Rosen and developing the Arms-Arms Fruit to a higher level and significantly improving his Three Forms of Haki.

It's just that Rosen's growth rate is far higher than Douglas Bullet's.

The second battle with the Devil's Heir.

In addition to beating Douglas Bullet into autism on the spot, he also developed the Arms-Arms Fruit to a higher level after the battle and successfully forged out the double swords to Getsuga Jūjishō.

clang

Rosen raised his right hand slightly, raised the longer Zangetsu in his hand, and then looked down at Dracule Mihawk who was right below him and swung it casually.

Bang

The sword roared loudly, like thousands of troops trampling the earth.

The dazzling sword light, like a crescent moon across the sky, illuminates the sea.

When he made a slashing motion with the Zangetsu in his hand and the blade paused, a rolling slashing burst out, like a mountain torrent and tsunami, pouring down, forming an incomparably huge, sharp crescent moon, like a moon falling from the sky, slashing towards Dracule Mihawk.

"A chop of this magnitude."

"How far has he developed his devil fruit?"

"It's just a casually made weapon, yet it can unleash a slashing blow that only a master swordsman can unleash."

Dracule Mihawk's eyes narrowed.

Faced with the golden crescent falling from the sky, he did not dare to be negligent. He held the black sword wrapped in the Armament Haki in his hand and was not willing to be outdone. He swung the sword towards the sky and also released an extremely large slashing wave.

Whether it is the strongest Marine in a thousand years or the real Crescent Moon.

He will cut off all those who stand in his way of becoming the strongest person in the world.

On one side is a crescent moon falling from the sky.

On one side, there were slashing attacks like a rainbow.

Bang

When the two slashing blows released by Rosen and Dracule Mihawk collided with each other, it immediately caused a thunderous roar that shook the sky and the sea, and then a slashing storm that covered the sky and the sun, like wind and thunder, was set off.

In addition, there were also bolts of Armament Haki like lightning and streams of light bursting out, adding a bit of majestic power to the slashing storm that was already tearing the sky and splitting the sea.

Swish

Both the sky and the sea are overwhelmed.

Under the overwhelming slashing storm, the atmosphere showed visible folding, and the sea was torn into pieces by a chasm.

Just as the Crescent Moon and the Slash were in a stalemate, Rosen quietly raised the shorter Getsuga Tenshō in his left hand, then hung it in front of him and gently slashed it horizontally.

The sky seemed to be unable to bear the weight and was cut by a golden knife.

Immediately following.

The knife mark, which was shining with bright golden light and seemed to be bleeding in the sky, was magnified a thousand times in an instant and turned into a golden crescent. Its size and sharpness were no less than the first golden crescent released by him when he used his long sword to Getsuga Tenshō.

boom

As the second golden crescent fell from the sky and touched the first golden crescent, the two crescents, one horizontal and one vertical, formed a cross-shaped slash that cut through the sky, unleashing a divine edge that made the South Blue and the world change color.

"Getsuga Jūjishō!"
