"After killing Rosen, I think the Marine Headquarters will be furious!"
"We can't stay in the South Blue, no, we can't stay in the first half of the Grand Line for the time being."
"Then let's go back to the New World first!"
Dracule Mihawk turned around and inserted the Black Blade Yoru back behind him, looking around for his boat while thinking about his next move.
Although he is aloof and arrogant, and after forging the black sword, he is confident that he can ascend to the throne of the world's most powerful swordsman, he is not conceited or arrogant.
on the contrary.
He is very clear about his own strength and situation.
Facing a behemoth like the Marine Headquarters, it wouldn't be a big deal if only one admiral was dispatched, but what about two?
Or three?
Especially when Marine admirals go into battle, they rarely act alone. At the very least, they will be accompanied by the troops of a warship.
He did not think that Black Blade Yoru alone could handle everything in front of the Marine Headquarters.
The so-called most powerful swordsman in the world only has the power to face a Marine admiral.
"Defeat?"
"What do you mean?"
Just when Dracule Mihawk decided on his next move and prepared to return to the New World, a low, solemn, cold and brutal voice, like the devil's whisper, came faintly from behind.
"How could such a thing happen?"
Hearing this, Dracule Mihawk's eyes widened slightly, and his hands and feet tensed up for a moment.
He turned his neck, his pupils moved to the corners of his eyes, and his peripheral vision looked behind him.
At this time.
Like three dragons coming out of the sea, lingering in the ocean, unscrupulously unleashing their astonishing sharpness in three slashing waves. Suddenly, an arm holding a knife stretched out from the slashing waves.
Then, he gently swung the short sword Zangetsu.
Bang
The three slashing waves dissipated like a candle flame being blown out.
When Rosen's figure appeared in Dracule Mihawk's sight again, his eagle eyes, sharp enough to see through everything, showed a hint of horror.
"What I just heard was not an illusion."
"It's not just the voice that's changed, it's the person that's changed as well."
He stared intently at Rosen's face.
now.
Dracule Mihawk could not see Rosen's other facial features except his eyes.
A white mask with two blood-red lines running from the forehead to the eyes and then to the chin completely covered Rosen's face, leaving only a pair of violent and creepy yellow-brown eyes exposed to the air.
"What's the matter with you looking like this?"
Dracule Mihawk turned around and looked at Rosen, whose face was covered by a mask.
clang
Upon hearing this, Rosen did not answer, but raised his long sword Zangetsu, from bottom to top, through the air.
"Getsuga Tenshō!"
A ray of golden light extended obliquely.
Then.
A golden light shone brightly, and a spiral crescent moon attacked Dracule Mihawk like a tornado.
clang
Facing the sweeping spiral crescent, Dracule Mihawk didn't bother to think about the changes in Rosen after he put on the strange mask, and quickly drew out the Black Blade Yoru from behind.
A knife slashed out.
The dark green slashing wave, like a raging storm, erupted violently and crashed head-on into the oncoming spiral crescent.
Bang
When the two slashes collided, it was as if two super-large sea kings were wrestling with each other, and there was a loud noise like a mountain collapsing and the sea splitting, and a huge wave rushed straight into the sky.
However,
Boom
After a brief stalemate, Dracule Mihawk was surprised to find that the slashing wave he released with the Black Blade Yoru was suppressed by Rosen's Spiral Crescent and was forced to retreat step by step.
"He also has a knife."
His heart sank, and just as he thought about it, Rosen responded.
The short knife Zangetsu was raised and slashed down diagonally from top to bottom.
Bang
After the golden light flashed, this time it was no longer a spiral crescent that flew across the sky, but a straight crescent, like a golden laser. While the spiral crescent was suppressing the slashing wave, it pierced through and shattered the slashing wave with one blow, and then broke through the air and flew in front of Dracule Mihawk.
clang clang
At the critical moment, Dracule Mihawk raised the Black Blade Yoru, followed by the Conqueror's Haki Lightning. Before the blade touched the straight crescent and the spiral crescent, a powerful and domineering sword pressure burst out from the air, holding up the two crescents in front of it.
But the violent power he could feel from the blade caused his hand holding the knife to tremble uncontrollably.
Obviously.
The power of the two crescent-shaped sky-strikes, even though weakened after breaking the slashing wave, still exceeded his expectations.
The moment he collided with Black Blade Yoru in mid-air, he was forced to fly backwards, his feet creating a huge gap on the sea surface, but he was unable to stop his body.
This moment.
Dracule Mihawk experienced what it meant for the sword energy to span thirty thousand miles.
This retreat.
Dracule Mihawk retreated several hundred meters.
As he retreated, he forced himself to calm down, and then used his Observation Haki to see the future.
It would have been better if I hadn't looked at it. After I looked at it, my heart sank to the bottom.
There is a kind of powerlessness, which is seeing the future but being unable to do anything about it.
Now, he is facing this kind of powerlessness.
call out
Rosen took a step forward, his figure like thunder, crossing the sky, spanning hundreds of meters and standing above Dracule Mihawk's head, raising his right arm high, slashing the Zangetsu down.
Boom
A vertical crescent moon, like the water of the Milky Way, carries a heavy and sharp edge, rushing down mightily.
Dracule Mihawk could do nothing but watch himself being submerged by the crescent waterfall that fell from the sky, then pierced through the sea and slammed into the bottom of the sea.
This was the second time he was knocked to the bottom of the sea by Zangetsu.
But it's different from the first time.
Just as his front foot was blasted into the seabed, he broke out of the sea with the back foot, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, holding the Black Blade "Yoru" and sweeping across.
clang
A flash of knife
The sky and sea in all directions were all dyed dark green by the sword light.
"Ittōryū: Black Blade Flash!"
Dracule Mihawk shouted.
He put all his strength into it, blasting out a domineering slashing wave like a black thunderbolt, trying to kill Rosen with the posture of a dragon raising its head.
However,
Rosen simply glanced down, his creepy yellow-brown eyes beneath the mask gleaming red.
A sharp white horn suddenly grew out from the left corner of his forehead.
Without any movement on his part, a rolling Conqueror's Haki spread out from himself, like a golden light curtain covering the sky and the sun, instantly dispelling the dark green sword light imprinted on the sea and the sky.
Immediately following.
He raised the short sword Zangetsu in his left hand, but did not release the Getsuga Tenshō or make any swinging motions. Instead, he just slashed back when Dracule Mihawk's slashing wave came towards him.
Using the short sword Zangetsu as a racket, he directly treated the slashing wave that was close at hand as if it were a tennis ball and hit it away.
"No, impossible!"
Dracule Mihawk screamed for the first time.
call out
Rosen flashed out in an instant, his feet spun loudly, and a trail of afterimages was left in the air.
Obviously, he was moving at an extremely fast speed, and in a flash he arrived in front of Dracule Mihawk, but the process of moving at such a high speed was silent, as if he had transferred through space.
sniff
The golden crescent moon and the Conqueror's Haki black lightning were released from his palm, and then mixed together to form a power product like a domineering sword light, completely enveloping the blade of Zangetsu.
Immediately following.
He swung his sword horizontally.
Boom
Dracule Mihawk raised his black sword, Yoru, to block in time, but the moment the swords clashed, the domineering lightning lingering on the Zangetsu blade exploded together with the golden crescent, transforming into a black lightning crescent, which cut him and the sword into pieces, sending him flying out of the sea.
bang bang bang bang
With a series of circular air waves exploding in the air again and again, Dracule Mihawk flew for several kilometers like a meteor across the sky.
Finally, he crashed into an isolated island in the South Blue suspended above the sea, smashing the island's ground into pieces like a biscuit.
A large amount of smoke and dust rose up along the cracks and quickly gathered together to form a huge dust column that rushed straight into the sea of clouds.
