"Sad?"
"Maybe!"
"Okay, let's talk about your story first."
"Dracule Mihawk, I give you two choices."
Rosen didn't deny Dracule Mihawk's statement that "those generals who were born in the same era as him can only serve as foils," but he didn't say much more on the topic. Instead, after seeing that Dracule Mihawk seemed to have regained his composure and was at least able to communicate normally, he directly gave him two choices:
"1. I will kill you right here, just like the black sword that destroyed you, turning your five parts into dust."
"2. I will repair your Black Blade and give you the opportunity to challenge me at any time."
"Whether you're planning a surprise attack, outnumbering, or scheming, when you feel confident enough to defeat me, or have assembled enough forces to put me to death, you can attack me at any time. But before that, you must perform your role as the Marine's watchdog well."
"Then choose."
After all, he is the most powerful swordsman in the world, and he is also the most powerful swordsman in the world who can forge a supreme sword into a Black Blade.
Even among the Shichibukai, Rosen showed some leniency.
At least, Dracule Mihawk has the power to choose death.
Unlike Donquixote Doflamingo, who was also one of the Shichibukai, he had no choice whether to live or die, or the way of death.
"You destroyed my swordsmanship."
"You destroyed my Black Blade."
"You destroyed the pride and dignity of the world's greatest swordsman."
"No matter what it is, as a swordsman, I should have no face to exist in this world, but."
Dracule Mihawk stood up and looked at the Black Blade Yoru that had been cut twice, his eagle eyes filled with strong resentment and humiliation:
"To end one's life with a heart full of shame, in a cowardly manner, and in an evasive way is truly unworthy of being a man."
"You cut my black sword twice, so I should challenge you twice."
"The first time, I lost. The second time, I will do as you said. When I have enough confidence to finish you off, I will return all the shame I've suffered today to you."
"But until then, I will play the role of the Marine's hawk dog."
He jumped in front of his own Black Blade and picked up the Black Blade that had suffered the humiliation of being cut off twice because of him.
This speech.
Dracule Mihawk was not speaking to Rosen, but was making a promise to himself and his opponent, Black Blade Yoru.
Ending one's life like this may seem straightforward and free and easy, but it is actually just an act of cowardice.
The shame he deserves to bear will be borne forever in the history of the world.
Dracule Mihawk would be a disgrace to the world's most powerful swordsman.
Yoru will also become a shame for Black Blade.
He would never allow this to happen.
to this end.
He is cold and arrogant to the core, and can put aside his pride and dignity to become a lackey of the Marine, being laughed at by the world and ridiculed by swordsmen.
As long as it can get a chance to challenge Rosen.
As long as it can give me a chance to wash away the shame.
He spared no expense.
"I'm waiting for you."
"But you'd better remember this."
"Hawk-dog, I want you to be a dog, not an eagle."
Rosen glanced at Dracule Mihawk and casually threw a collar over.
In addition to Douglas Bullet, he had another burden on his shoulders.
The Demon's Heir wants him to keep improving and then keep challenging.
The world's most powerful swordsman, seemingly reduced from Hawkeye Mihawk to a Marine lackey, is still watching him and ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.
To this.
Rosen didn't care.
If you want to cut off the Great Pirate Era, you must be able to bear the weight of the Great Pirate Era.
Subdue the kings.
Putting collars and leashes on each of the Shichibukai, and if they can't even bear this little weight, it would be a joke to end the era of pirates.
This moment.
Rosen suddenly understood Aizen in the world of Bleach. Why did he choose to stay by Gin Ichimaru's side even though he knew that Ichimaru wanted to kill him? He was also very curious to see how the other party would kill him.
This is not a psychological problem, but how can he stand at the top if he can't even withstand his sword against Gin Ichimaru, who can only bow to him.
Same.
Rosen dared to break the black section of Dracule Mihawk on the day he refined the black sword, and dared to put a collar on him when he became the world's most powerful swordsman, without fear that he would bite back.
A cold glint flashed across Dracule Mihawk's eyes, but he still reached out and took the collar thrown by Rosen.
Not to mention the world's most powerful swordsman who has forged a black sword, even for a third-rate swordsman, wearing a collar would be a great shame.
However,
He just glanced at the collar in his hand, then put it around his neck with an expressionless face.
"Before I kill you with my own hands, I will be your dog; after I kill you with my own hands, I will become an eagle again."
After putting the collar on, Dracule Mihawk's eyes remained calm.
At this moment, he completely restrained his edge and chose to keep a low profile, but just as he said the next sentence just now.
Because it was not the right time yet, he kept a low profile, waited for the opportunity, and was willing to be Rosen's watchdog.
But once he finds an opportunity, his Black Blade will be unsheathed again, showing its sharpness, and he will use Rosen's life to become an eagle soaring in the sky again.
"I'll wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Rosen just smiled calmly and did not refute.
For a determined swordsman like Dracule Mihawk, words have no deterrent or threatening effect. Only cruel facts can make them bow their heads and surrender.
Just like now.
Even someone as cold and arrogant as Hawkeye can only wear a collar obediently, right?
"The second one."
Rosen glanced at Dracule Mihawk wearing a collar and murmured inwardly.
Among the Shichibukai, after Donquixote Doflamingo, the Heavenly Yaksha, Dracule Mihawk, the world's most powerful swordsman, also wore a collar.
Even the strongest and most arrogant Hawkeye is like this.
He didn't think that any of the other Shichibukai could perform better than Dracule Mihawk.
"Bankai."
"Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame."
After Dracule Mihawk put on the collar, Rosen fulfilled his promise and released Benihime's Bankai again, slashing it down with one blow.
The Black Blade Yoru, which had been cut twice before, was restored to its original shape in an instant.
certainly.
The traces of two stitches on the blade of the Yoru will never disappear in a lifetime.
To this.
Dracule Mihawk didn't care. Instead, he was happy to see the two traces of stitching.
This way he can always be alert and reminded of the humiliation that he and Yoru bear.
Never forget.
Don't relax for a moment.
Click
Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame's second sword and slashed down.
All the injuries sustained by Dracule Mihawk during his second defeat were transformed and repaired.
Of course.
Tiny traces of stitches were left at the original sites of the repaired wounds.
"No matter how many times I face this man, the feeling of powerlessness and despair will never fade or weaken."
Having once again experienced the almost unreasonable transformation ability of Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame, even though Dracule Mihawk had experienced it once before, he still felt a sense of fear and horror in his heart.
Cut the moon with one hand.
Let the world's most powerful swordsman experience a second defeat, and let the world's strongest black sword be cut off a second time.
A red quince.
Repair his body a second time, and restore Black Blade Yoru a second time.
This is just the ability possessed by Rosen's two Zanpakutō.
What about the others?
The more he thought about it, the more Dracule Mihawk felt the pressure on his heart, and the mountain of despair became heavier.
