Yoru and Yoru!

Mihawk's appearance was actually at Imu's behest.

Mihawk, who is already 22 years old, was already there last year.

He had already broken through to the level of Great Swordsman Swordsmanship the Bleach of Wano Island.

This is actually quite outrageous.

Only he and Shimotsuki Ryuma back then possessed such Swordsmanship talent.

Certainly.

Imu also knew that in the future, a monster would emerge who would reach the level of a Great Swordsman at the age of twenty-one, and would even have an 80% chance of becoming the World's Greatest Swordsman.

That's right.

I'm talking about Roronoa Zoro, who's probably not even born yet or has just been born?

Let's continue with Mihawk.

When Imu learned that there was a Divine Harmony and Sword Saint in the Teigu World, he became interested in it.

Because of his current Bleach swordsmanship, he calls himself Sword Saint.

It was only when the information about the Yamakaji was passed on that we learned of it.

It turns out that this so-called Divine Harmony and Sword Saint is probably just a relatively strong Great Swordsman.

This immediately made him lose interest.

Until Four Heavens, that Divine Harmony and the Sword Saint sent a challenge to the World Government.

Then, on a sudden whim, he thought of letting Mihawk spar with the opponent.

Such an opportunity to fight against someone who stands at the pinnacle of swordsmanship is incredibly precious.

Really.

When Mihawk learned of this, he became extremely interested.

He immediately handed over the matter of the Swordmaster Hall to Gion to handle.

Arriving alone aboard Flying Warship at the Star Gate Base on the Red Line, he immediately headed towards the Teigu World.

As for the World Government's strongest swordsman, as requested by the Divine Harmony and the Sword Saint, nobody cared.

Could it be that Imu will go there in person?

Besides, Mihawk is destined to be the World Government's strongest swordsman in the open in the future, which barely meets their requirements.

By the way.

Imu also found himself a new form of entertainment.

"Have you met that Divine Harmony and the Sword Saint?"

Esdeath sat in the chair next to Imu and shook her head when asked.

"No, I've only heard that the highest-ranking Divine Harmony and swordsmen I fought back then were only eighth or ninth-dan Great Swordsman."

"By the way, according to Sea Star, an eighth-dan swordsman can only be considered a very strong swordsman."

"However, at the ninth dan level, he should be at the level of Great Swordsman, that is, the supreme Admiral of the Shenwa Island Country, the daimyo of the Heavenly Wolf Country, Zuo."

"His 'Heavenly Wolf Armor' is a type of Teigu, which allows him to transform his body into a spirit form that is immune to attacks, thus enabling him to fight against my 'Mahapadma'."

"However, it seems they refer to Teigu as 'Nether Treasures' over there."

Imu raised an eyebrow; to be honest, this was information he wasn't aware of.

Because he had only read the main story of the 'Akame!' manga before, and had a slight understanding of the prequel, but had never even heard of the sequel.

Therefore, he knew absolutely nothing about the name of the Heavenly Wolf Country or the Nether Treasures.

It can simply turn a human body into a spirit; that sounds pretty good.

Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've touched that ' Enma, and I'd almost forgotten about 'Yellow Springs Hell' and 'King Enma'.

Now that I've remembered it, this problem is back in front of me.

Should I have someone bring the prisoners of 'Teigu World' to Wano Island on the Sea Star Homeworld for execution?

Previously, in order to prevent 'King Enma' from threatening Ymir in the 'Coordinate Space', he deliberately did not send the soul of the Giant World there.

Therefore, if we want to continue our cooperation, we need to cultivate our soul strength in the Hell Underworld the Sea Star.

That would require giving the soul of the Teigu World to the other party.

He may also face the trouble of explaining why he wasn't given the soul of the Giant World.

If we don't give it, our efforts to improve our strength will continue to stagnate.

It's truly a difficult choice.

On the other side.

Just as Imu was hesitating...

Esdeath could see Mihawk sitting cross-legged on a small sailboat, drifting slowly on the vast ocean, through the virtual screen.

But why are there two white candles with green flames lit on that small boat in Baymax daylight?

It looks quite imposing.

Teigu World.

On the East Blue between the two fleets, surging waves continuously pushed another unremarkable medium-sized sailboat toward an uninhabited island with an area of less than four square kilometers.

That was the place where they agreed to their final battle after a brief exchange.

After all, it's more comfortable for a swordsman to be grounded.

"Grandpa, look, is that the opponent's strongest swordsman? He's so young, and both his posture while sitting on the boat and the boat he's on are very strange."

Yami-hime Samurai, holding her black-sheathed katana, gazed at a small sailboat emitting faint green light on the distant sea.

"Indeed, I have some doubts about whether he really is the opponent's strongest swordsman."

With a face full of wrinkles but an upright posture and bright eyes Yami Tsukahara a surprised expression, then said, "We'll ask when we get to the Ueshima."

"Grandpa, I'll be waiting for you to come back on the ship!"

Yami-hime Yami let the sea breeze blow through her long, black hair, looking completely confident in Yami Tsukahara.

"Um."

Yami Tsukahara nodded, then solemnly looked down at the other person and instructed, "Remember what Grandpa said before: even if I lose in the end, you must not harbor any thoughts of revenge!"

"I understand."

Yami-hime answered her grandfather very seriously.

"The life-or-death struggle between swordsmen will never breed any resentment. When the time comes, I will find a way to become their apprentice, and one day I will become the strongest swordsman!"

"Well said!"

Yami Tsukahara laughed heartily with immense satisfaction, "This is a true swordsman! No wonder she's my granddaughter!"

Ten minutes later.

Yami Tsukahara left the deck alone, stepping on the crests of the rolling waves, skimming across the turbulent sea at an extremely fast speed, and landing on the beach at the edge of the small island.

At this moment, Mihawk had already moored his small boat on the shore and was walking step by step toward the old man who was approaching him.

[Whoosh--whoosh--whoosh----]

At that moment, all they could hear was the sound of waves crashing on the beach and the sharp cries of seabirds from afar.

Their equally sharp gazes met head-on in mid-air.

Their aura also increased steadily with each step they took.

"He actually reached the Bleach of Great Swordsman!"

Yami Tsukahara stared incredulously at Mihawk's excessively youthful face, while a sense of crisis gripped her like a sharp, cold glint in her eye.

Soon,

The two stopped in their tracks, because the distance between them was less than forty meters.

At the same time.

Formless yet powerful forces, like the wind, collided in the air, causing sand and stones to fly across the beach.

"I am Yami Tsukahara, a tenth-dan Sword Saint from the Shenwa Island Country of Kamikawa. I have just turned eighty-two this year. May I ask your name and age?"

"Joracol Mihawk, the Hall Master of the World Government's Swordmaster Hall, has just turned twenty-two this year."

As soon as Mihawk finished speaking calmly, the corner of Yami Tsukahara's eye twitched a few times, his emotions were so complex that they were hard to Sword Saint.

Great Swordsman can make others feel threatened at the age of twenty-two!

"Excuse me, what is Swordmaster Hall?"

The Yami Tsukahara Sword Saint to know Mihawk's importance within the opposing faction.

"The Sword Sect, an organization established by the World Government to govern all swordsmanship, Swordsmanship, and swordsmen across all worlds," Mihawk casually introduced.

Then, he slowly raised his right hand and drew the large black sword that was behind his back.

"This sword is named 'Night,' with its Supreme Grade Swords, and also the strongest Black Blade in our World's Strongest. Please enlighten me!"

"Um?"

Yami Tsukahara Sword Saint, raised his white-scabbarded longsword in surprise. "What a coincidence, my sword is also called 'Night'!"
