"Have you never met someone who can make you take real action?"
Looking at the dominating man in front of him, Dracule Mihawk felt very uncomfortable.
He wanted to refute, but the fact that he was defeated so miserably that he couldn't even hold the Black Blade Yoru made it impossible for him to refute.
As the most powerful swordsman in the world, he possesses the courage to look down upon all other kings.
The Marine is the prey.
The strongest Marine in a thousand years was used as a tool to forge the black sword.
Dracule Mihawk did it.
During the battle with Rosen, he forged the Supreme Great Blade, Yoru, into the world's strongest black sword.
However, when he wanted to go a step further and tried to use the blood of the strongest Marine in a thousand years to announce to the world the birth of Black Blade Yoru and his own rise to the top of the world's most powerful swordsman, he encountered the first Waterloo in his life.
Moreover, it is extremely tragic.
Feeling the terrifying aura that looked down upon the world lingering around Rosen, Dracule Mihawk thought for the first time that he was no better than Rosen, and for the first time felt ridiculous for his previous attempt to challenge him.
After all, whether it was the world's strongest black sword or the world's strongest swordsman, the man in front of him had never taken him seriously from beginning to end.
Because he didn't take it seriously, Rosen allowed himself to forge the Black Sword Yoru with his help.
Because he didn't take it seriously, Rosen allowed himself to challenge after forging the Black Blade Yoru.
As the most powerful swordsman in the world who can forge a Black Blade, the only thing Rosen cares about, or is interested in, is whether the Black Blade can be cut.
"You should have seen the video footage of my battle with Bullet, right?"
"When Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō and Susanoo combine, it becomes the Prestige · Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō."
"So."
Rosen stood between Susanoo's eyebrows, looking down at Dracule Mihawk who was kneeling before him:
"What will happen after Zangetsu and Susanoo combine?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Dracule Mihawk's expression changed slightly, and his heart tightened.
Yes.
He had seen the video footage of Rosen fighting Douglas Bullet.
Therefore, he also knew that the Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō created by Rosen with the Arms-Arms Fruit could be combined with the Susanoo created by the Armament Haki.
However, before, Dracule Mihawk thought that Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō was a special case.
It happens that it is huge in size, so it can be combined with Susanoo.
But now after Rosen asked this question, he finally woke up. The combination of Zanpakutō, the product of the fruit ability, and Susanoo, the product of Armament Haki, may not be unique to Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō.
Before Dracule Mihawk could answer, Rosen had already given the answer.
"Hollowfied: Susanoo."
As soon as the words fell.
A deep black light emitting a violent aura burst out from right in front of Susanoo's face.
Then, the black light expanded to Susanoo's entire face and enveloped it.
call out
This flash of black light came quickly and went away quickly.
When the black light dissipated, a giant mask with two black lines had completely covered Susanoo's huge face.
The moment the mask was put on, a ferocious white horn slowly grew out of the left corner of Susanoo's forehead.
Looking at the Susanoo in front of him, which was wearing a giant bull-horn mask and exuding a fierce and Conqueror's Haki, Dracule Mihawk's eyes opened as wide as possible, but his hawk-like pupils shrank to the smallest.
He recognized it at a glance.
The horn mask covering Susanoo's face is exactly the same as the horn mask that covered Rosen's face before.
The only difference is the size.
Everything else, whether it's shape or pattern, is exactly the same.
That is to say.
This is the power product of the combination of Zangetsu and Susanoo.
"This gesture."
"This power."
Dracule Mihawk clenched his fists tightly, and visible resentment and humiliation flashed in his eagle eyes.
He would rather Rosen hold Zangetsu at the beginning, use Hollowed Susanoo, and then die under such power.
Not like it is now.
Rosen did not use this power to defeat him, but instead tried to find out whether the Black Blade could cut it off.
"How could I possibly use Hollow Susanoo on you?"
"I should have told you clearly from the beginning. I will destroy the world's strongest swordsmanship and the world's strongest black sword."
"Besides, I came to the South Blue to put a collar on the world's most powerful swordsman, not to turn the world's most powerful swordsman into dust."
Rosen's eyes flashed red as he sensed Dracule Mihawk's thoughts and emotions. He shook his head and laughed.
It is not difficult to destroy the most powerful swordsman in the world.
But this does not serve the purpose of his coming to the South Blue, nor is it in the interests of the Marine.
After all, it is easy to kill Dracule Mihawk, but it is very difficult to find another world-class swordsman among the countless pirates to serve as one of the Shichibukai.
Therefore, Rosen has been moving towards his goal unswervingly.
That was to put a collar on Dracule Mihawk when he became the world's most powerful swordsman.
The ultimate goal is to turn the world's most powerful swordsman into a watchdog for the 1st Marine Branch of the North Blue.
other.
Whether it was defeating Dracule Mihawk, destroying his swordsmanship, or even cutting off his black sword, these were all just the process of training the eagle.
clang
Finished.
Rosen threw the Black Blade Yoru in his hand out, then raised the long knife Zangetsu in his hand and slashed it across in front of him.
at the same time.
The Susanoo under his feet also followed like a shadow. He drew out the dominating long sword from his waist, raised it high, and slashed it at the sky in front of him.
sniff
The violent and thunderous Conqueror's Haki flashed out and wrapped around Susanoo's dominating long sword.
Boom
Golden energy surged out like a torrent, completely dyeing the dominating long sword in Susanoo's hand, which was wrapped in the black lightning of the Conqueror's Haki, into gold.
This moment.
The crescent moon that cuts the moon.
Black thunder and lightning with Conqueror's Haki.
There is also the long sword in Susanoo's hand, which is itself constructed by the Armament Haki.
Fruit ability and Two Forms of Haki, the strongest combination.
Zangetsu and Susanoo, a perfect combination.
All in place.
When Black Blade Yoru, who was thrown high into the sky by Rosen, began to fall from the sky, he raised his short sword to cut the Zangetsu, and slashed it from top to bottom, leaving a cross sword mark in front of him.
At the same time.
Susanoo also stretched out his left hand, pulling out another powerful long sword, wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, and slashed straight down from above.
Rosen and Susanoo.
The moment their movements were synchronized, two giant crescent moons bloomed in the void in front of them, and then combined together.
"Getsuga Jūjishō."
A crescent cross stretched across the sky, entwined with jagged black and red lightning. With unparalleled terrifying power, it directly cut through the sky, slashing the boundless sea of clouds thousands of meters above into ashes, and then submerged Black Blade Yoru.
A supreme and sharp sword.
It is also a supreme and fast sword forged into a black sword.
Whether it is the Four Emperors or the Five Elders, whether it is the Marine Headquarters or the World Government, they all regard such weapons as rare treasures.
Rosen showed no reluctance at all, and directly swallowed the Black Blade with the power of the Getsuga Jūjishō.
He cut not only the black sword of Yoru, but also the pride of Dracule Mihawk, the most powerful swordsman in the world.
Do not break Hawkeye's pride.
Not destroying Hawkeye's will.
How can I let a man like this wear a collar obediently?
Compared to taming a Heavenly Yaksha like Donquixote Doflamingo, taming a great swordsman like Dracule Mihawk is much more difficult.
Physical destruction is meaningless.
Only by starting from the spirit and will can it be effective.
