Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jorakol Mihawk.
Known as “Hawkeye”, the world’s number one swordsman.
This title, or the title of the veteran Shichibukai, is quite interesting. Like the Three Generals, it is also named after animals.
Bear, Hawkeye, Snake Princess, Whale Shark, Black Bat, Flamingo, Sand Crocodile.
These people have deterred the sea for more than ten years and have unusually strong dominance.
But ever since the Straw Hat Kid appeared, Shichibukai’s prestige has been getting worse.
Just as Sengoku said back then.
“Don’t lose again. If you continue to lose, is there really a need for Shichibukai to exist?”
As one of the three major agencies of the World Government, the Shichibukai can’t fail.
Not to mention, three new ones were added.
Three of them.
Because of these three, the World Government has no choice but to keep the spot of the Bear who has long lost his mind and let the number of veteran Shichibukai occupy four spots. If the new Shichibukai occupies too many spots, the reputation of Shichibukai will not be able to support this sea at all.
“You’re here too.”
Kuro leaned back in his chair and bit his cigar as he looked at Mihawk. “Strange, you actually attend a meeting like this.”
Mihawk pulled out a chair and sat next to Kuro. “It’s only because of you, Luciru Kuro. Although you are no longer a pure swordsman, there seems to be no one on the sea who can compare with me.”
“Don’t, I can’t beat you, the world’s number one swordsman, and I’m not pure, I will cheat.”
Kuro waved his hand and directly ignored Mihawk’s words and said, “Let’s continue the meeting. Three Shichibukai came, and if there is one more, it will be four. It’s enough.”
Although Hancock and Mihawk are definitely enough to deal with Walter.
As for Law who is sitting here…
He didn’t think much of it.
This is not to say that Law is not strong. He showed enough strength in Sabaody Archipelago back then. It has been a year and a half, this kid will naturally become stronger.
Especially the ability of Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit, if you are not careful, you will suffer.
With Kuro’s personality, he is still quite cautious.
However, although Kuro is a coward, he also has the arrogance of an old-fashioned person.
Whether Marine or Pirate, he only acknowledges those who have made a name for themselves on the sea and have lived long.
Newcomers are not enough for Kuro to take seriously, especially when he knows the details of their specific abilities.
Just as the attitude of Marine Old School people toward newcomers is a headache and not a threat, so is Kuro. These people are not qualified for him to take seriously at the moment.
In Kuro’s eyes, Bucky is more troublesome than Law.
Although Bucky was not strong enough, he relied on his prestige to gather the fugitives who had escaped from Imperton. The existence of those fugitives was very troublesome.
This belongs to the old school of eligibility and empiricism. After all, he has lived here for more than 20 years and he should be arrogant.
After the Marine Captain of the Meeting Party finished talking about Walter, Kuro cleared his throat, stood up, and walked to the front of the curtain. He said, “The Headquarters is handed over to me for this meeting, so I will say a few points.”
“Bondi Walde is a big threat to Marines, pirates, and civilians.”
“What you need is to work together and get rid of that pirate as soon as possible. Shichibukai’s duty is to deal with this situation. This time, it’s only you. Let me see the role of your Shichibukai.”
“And you?”
Hancock raised her eyebrows as she listened to Kuro. “What are you doing?”
“Me? Of course I’m going back to Sabaody Archipelago to guard the door.”
Kuro said, “Just in case, if you let him break through, I have to guard the last line of defense.”
Logically speaking, Marines should be assisting from the side.
But how could Kuro do it?
Going back to guard the door was just a joke.
With Shichibukai taking over, Kuro was the most at ease with these veteran experts on the sea.
So many Shichibukai can’t beat a single Walter?
Then he might as well become the Pirate King.
“Rawr …”
The Den Den Mushi suddenly rang. Kuro raised his eyebrows and looked to the side.
Not Marine Den Den Mushi.
The big snake that Hancock was sitting on stretched out its head to Hancock and there was a small Den Den Mushi on its head.
It was from her side.
Hancock frowned and took the microphone.
On the Den Den Mushi side, an old woman’s loud cry sounded: “Snake Girl, bad news! Sonja and Mary are caught!”
“Nani!”
Hancock’s eyes were wide open, and the microphone couldn’t help but come closer to her lips. She said in surprise: “What did you say?!”
“Bundy Walde caught Sonja and Mary!”
“How could they be caught?! Did Walter invade Hydra Island?”
“No, it’s grass…”
Before the old voice could finish, Hancock immediately said, “I am in the Marine conference, Granny New!”
These words made Kuro glance at her and he did not say anything.
Den Den Mushi was silent for a while and then said, “When Sonja and Mary went to hunt, Walter found the ship and knew that they were your sisters, so he caught them. He said that if you want a sister, he will let you go alone.”
“I see. Granny New, bring the boat over and come and pick me up.”
Hancock hung up the phone, gritted her teeth, and said angrily: “Damn Walter!!”
With that, she turned around and walked out.
“Hey, Empress, where are you going for the meeting?” Strawberry asked.
“I am going to save my sister, I don’t have time to play with you!” Hancock said and walked out.
“Recruit…”
Strawberry still wanted to say something, but he saw Kuro shake his head. “Forget it, old brother, let her be. Shichibukai is a group of willful guys.”
“That’s right.”
Law also stood up and walked out. “Such an interesting thing, I’ll join in the fun.”
Among the people present, only Mihawk stayed behind. His sharp eyes under the brim of his hat glanced in that direction, then his head was slightly lowered, and the upper half of his face covered by the hat could not be seen clearly.
“In any case, it’s good to mobilize.”
Kuro glanced at Mihawk and naturally did not ask him to go over and help.
This is Shichibukai, not Marine.
He could not command them.
And this is the solo Mihawk, which is even more difficult to command.
But no matter what, it’s good that these Shichibukai can move.
According to his memory …
Hancock was completely enough. After all, that straw hat would probably go too.
Those who are pulled into the theatrical version will naturally not have a good ending.
Steady, there was nothing for him to do.
“Hey, Kuro.”
Mihawk, who had his legs on the table, suddenly said to Kuro, “Let’s have a match.”
“I refuse.”
Kuro flatly refused.
You want to compete just because you say so?
Do I have no face?
… .
Grand Line.
“This is enough.”
There were two ships on the sea. The tall man threw Sandersonia and Marigold, who were tied up, on the deck and said to the three standing men, “I’ll leave them to you, Sebastian, Geiram and Nachin.”
“Leave it to us!”
The man with the square hammer on his back patted his chest and straightened his body.
“Bingo, let’s go.”
The huge man said to the thin old man on his shoulder and turned to another ship. There was a huge cannon on the bow of the ship.
