Big Mom Attacks?
Just as the Kabane World's Hinomoto was undergoing rapid changes under the influence of the World Government, the Sea Star Homeworld of Wano Country, with a similar art style, began to experience unrest.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Forget about those overly heavy pieces of equipment; if they get damaged, we can just bring more over!"
The residents of the Flower Capital either hid indoors or stood on both sides of the street, watching curiously as these newcomers, who had only been there for a few days, hurriedly ran towards the warship floating in mid-air in the distance.
The dust they kicked up made the environment smoky and unpleasant, forcing people to cover their mouths and noses with their sleeves, which only deepened their doubts.
"Could it be that Kaido has attacked again?"
"That's not right! Wasn't Kaido driven away by those warships before?"
"Then what are they afraid of?"
"I don't know, but it seems they're leaving, which is a good thing. It's just that the general doesn't know what to choose."
These people's discussions did not affect the actions of the World Government's personnel in the slightest.
"I never imagined we'd be leaving so soon, in such a sorry state."
Mihawk walked out of the former Orochi Castle, which had been renamed Shogun Castle, and stood on a tree trunk several tens of meters wide. He walked expressionlessly Earth Flow the Floating Warship that was waiting for him to board not far away.
Gion, standing behind him, sensed his resentment and anger and gently comforted him, "After all, it's Whitebeard's coming. We can come back when Garp Admiral!"
"I really hope that one day I can personally test my skills against Whitebeard."
Mihawk patted the Black Blade Night on his back. He was eager to break through to the level of Great Swordsman as soon as possible. After boarding the warship, he asked the Bayer Senior Director beside him, "How is the personnel assembly going?"
"Most of the people near the Flower Capital have already boarded the ship, but it seems that it will take several more hours for those from Udon and Ringo to arrive."
The Bayer Senior Director answered softly, Mihawk nodded in understanding, "Tell them to hurry, but try to bring as many of the bladesmiths as possible!"
"Yes!"
The former received the order and hurried off to deliver it.
After they took control of the entire Wano Country, the administrative officials and technical personnel who had come with them were dispersed to various villages and towns under the escort of a large number of naval personnel.
Among them, Udon, the main concentration of Seastone, and Reigo Township, which has a large number of Famous Sword, became the two most important targets.
Especially in Udon.
That place has the largest concentration of skilled knife makers, many of whom possess the exquisite techniques passed down for hundreds of years for making various Meito, or for processing Seastone products.
There's also Kibi. According to Fukurokuju, the ninja training base is hidden among some secluded hills, so naturally, administrative personnel went there to investigate.
Therefore, recalling everyone will certainly not be an easy task.
[Swish, swish, swish!]
Just then, a series of afterimages appeared on the deck. Mihawk and Gion turned around and saw that it was Fukurokuju leading the Oniwabanshu, who were also accompanied by three men and two women handcuffed with Seastone Handcuffs.
"Shogun, they are Kikunojo, Kin'emon, and the missing-nin Shinobu of the Kozuki Family!"
"What about the rest?"
Mihawk's sharp gaze swept over the three people who were glaring at him through gritted teeth.
"Denjiro, Asura Doji, and Kawamatsu jumped into the river and have disappeared without a trace," Fukurokuju and the others said shamefully, kneeling on the ground.
"So all of this was orchestrated by you foreigners! That Byndi Wald was one of yours, wasn't he? You were the ones who killed Oden!!"
"You despicable thieves who steal from the country will be overthrown by those who come after you!"
Enraged, Kin'emon struggled violently while cursing wildly. They had already learned about the World Government and the Navy through Kikunojo and Izo Den Den Mushi.
Whether it's Kaido or Byndi Wald, they're all just subordinates of these guys; they're no different from the Kurozumi Clan.
"Paramecia Clothing-Clothing Devil Fruit User, and I heard you also have Swordsmanship that can unleash flames?"
Mihawk paid no attention to the howling of the stray dog, but instead recalled some information from the intelligence report.
"My lord, this is 'Foxfire,' one of the Fifty Skillful Grade Blades. It is with this sword that he can unleash flames!"
Fukurokuju quickly handed over two Samurai swords with red handles, red patterns, and black scabbards.
"Oh?"
Mihawk and Gion's eyes were fixed on the swords, and the former asked, "Why are there two?"
"Because 'Foxfire' was originally created for a Two-Sword Style."
Having received the explanation, Mihawk took the twin swords and handed one to Gion, whose eyes were full of curiosity. With two swift sounds of swords being drawn, both of them drew their longswords and examined the blades that gleamed with a cold light.
But it doesn't seem like anything.
But when Gion casually swung the sword to the left, flames suddenly burst forth from its blade, instantly raising the surrounding temperature sharply.
Wow!
Gion looked at the 'Foxfire' in her hand with surprise. Although she had seen many Famous Swords, this was the first time she had ever seen a sword with natural elements attached to it.
On the other side, Mihawk also ignited its sword, making its original owner Kin'emon, grit his teeth and shout that he should return the sword!
"This sword was also forged in your Wano Country, right? Could you make a few more?"
Mihawk already possesses the Black Blade Night, and since he is not Two-Sword Style swordsman, it's impossible for him to switch to the 'Foxfire'. Gion, on the Gion, has the Kompira and wouldn't easily give up his usual sword.
So he planned to give these two Burning Blades, along with Enma, Shusui, and Ame no Habakiri, to Imu as part of his collection. But he was wondering if these kinds of swords could be mass-produced?
"I'm very sorry, but it's said that the technique for forging such extraordinary knives has been lost. However, you can send someone to inquire with the swordsmiths."
"Really? That's a shame."
Mihawk noticed that as the blade remained still for a while, the flames on it gradually diminished and eventually disappeared completely. Seeing this, he stopped swinging the blade, casually sheathed it, and handed it to Gion.
"Lock him and this female ninja up!"
"Yes!"
The surrounding navy officers came over and took Kin'emon, who was still cursing, and Shinobu, whose eyes were glazed over, into the cabin, leaving only Kikunojo behind.
"Why is it a woman? Wasn't she supposed to be Izo's younger brother?"
Mihawk looked at the 'beautiful woman' in front of him strangely; although she was wearing armor, she was actually wearing a bright yellow women's kimono underneath.
"Ahem, he is indeed a man, but he was born with this appearance," Fukurokuju said in a low voice, glancing at Kikunojo, who was expressionless and had his head down.
"Is that so? You've really brought us a lot of trouble." Mihawk stared coldly at Kikunojo.
"Hmph, once the Whitebeard Pirates arrive, you murderers who killed Oden will pay a heavy price, and you'll never be able to continue occupying Wano Country!"
Kikunojo suddenly raised his head and said fiercely, but his pretty appearance made it difficult to scare people when he got angry.
"So you'd rather let Wano Country remain under the control of a group of One Piece?"
Mihawk didn't want to say anything more to him and ordered his men to drag him away and lock him up. At this moment, Fukurokuju, who was kneeling on one knee, suggested, "General, I think he is the best hostage."
"We'll talk about it later, you may leave!"
Mihawk knew all this, of course, but he didn't like doing such things, and it wasn't necessary to do so. Just then, everyone on the warship who Observation Haki looked up in unison, gazing in a certain direction high in the sky.
"Kaido?"
A blue Divine Dragon appeared, its feet resting on Flame Clouds, and flew swiftly from afar. But as it drew nearer, everyone's pupils dilated in shock.
Even Mihawk frowned.
Because they saw that beside the Azure Dragon, there was a woman standing on a cloud of Thundercloud.
BIG MOM!!
