The Shenwa Sword Saint's Terror!

"Don't worry, Divine Dragon Shenlong and I have already said that we will not kill that Admiral Aokiji."

At some point, the duel between Mihawk and Yami Tsukahara ceased, and the spectacular clash of swords vanished without a trace.

Only the smooth cut marks and fragmented surface scattered across the island can attest to how intense their previous battle had been.

The main reason was that the fighting on Kuzan's side was too intense, forcing them to stop fighting.

As for the outcome...

Only they themselves know the truth.

"That would be for the best, otherwise your country will face a great calamity, and you will no longer be able to join the Swordmaster Hall. So pray."

Mihawk slung 'Night' back over his shoulder and glanced at the Divine Harmony Sword Saint.

"Let's pray that the Divine Dragon will keep its word."

"Does 'great calamity' mean that your World Government will retaliate afterward?"

Yami Tsukahara looked with some confusion at the towering Iceburg shrouded in lightning, thunder, and Black Mist tsunami in the distance.

"We are currently in a state of war and hostility, so isn't it perfectly normal for both sides to suffer casualties?"

"Furthermore, the Divine Dragon only dwells in the clouds above our country. Strictly speaking, it is not one of our gods Wano Country. Even if it killed Admiral Aokiji, it seems to have nothing to do with our gods Wano Country."

Mihawk shook his head, crossed his arms, and answered him in a flat tone.

"If Admiral Aokiji really falls, the World Government won't reason with you. They only know that someone must pay the price for the loss of Admiral's fighting power."

"."

Yami Tsukahara frowned. He hadn't expected the World Government to be so domineering. After a moment, he sighed inwardly.

"That's true. It's not surprising that a regime that constantly launches wars of conquest against Otherworld and is full of aggressive tendencies would have such a domineering style of doing things."

The main reason was that he had just lost to Mihawk in a Swordsmanship contest.

They also learned from the other party that they had not yet used the power called Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

Therefore, he admires the World Government and Swordmaster Hall, and is able to accept the various problems that the World Government exhibits relatively easily.

Yes.

This 82-year-old Sword Saint from the Shenwa Island Country had previously offered to join the Mihawk Swordmaster Hall, along with his granddaughter and other swordsmen from his country.

All for the sake of gaining access to greater power, higher levels of swordsmanship, and the sword masters of Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

As for the issue of being too old.

Mihawk said that the World Government should have a way to help him solve the problem, provided that he can demonstrate sufficient value.

According to Yami Tsukahara's own understanding.

One's own value can be summarized in three aspects.

First, his own formidable Swordsmanship; second, his reputation as Shenwa Island Country and the Sword Saint of the island nation; and third, his qualification to communicate with the Divine Dragon god.

So he has already made plans.

Upon returning, he persuaded the Emperor in Japan to formally surrender to the World Government.

In Yami Tsukahara's view, the Shenwa Island Country clearly lacked the power to oppose the World Government, even if they joined forces with the Empire and the Alchemi Kingdom further to the west.

This is partly because he had never seen the Empire's Supreme Teigu or that Stigmata Alchemist.

If I had seen it for myself, perhaps my thoughts would have changed.

"Mihawk, is your Swordsmanship the strongest within the World Government?"

Looking at the 'Black Blade. Night' Yami Tsukahara Mihawk's back, Yomi Tsukahara solemnly asked the question that had been on his mind most.

"No."

Mihawk shook his head under the former's surprised gaze.

At the same time, he raised his hand to press down the black fedora on his head, hiding his sharp eagle eyes in shadow, letting the cold wind blowing from afar make his black and red coat flutter up and down.

"There aren't many Great Swordsman like you and me on Sea Star, but there are quite a few."

"Moreover, there exists a sword saint who surpasses Great Swordsman, whose Bleach has reached the realm of Domain of God —I mean, a true Sword Saint."

Yami Tsukahara was speechless for a moment, then her heart pounded with excitement, her eyes sparkling with longing for the Sea Star.

He now knows that his so-called Sword Saint is, in the context of Sea Star, just Great Swordsman with relatively strong Swordsmanship.

However, their overall combat strength is still inferior to those elite Vice Admiral who, although they have just entered the level of Great Swordsman, possess extraordinary Physical Arts and dual-color Haki.

In particular, Observation Haki allows one to predict a target's next move, or even foresee the target's future several seconds from now.

For someone without Observation Haki, it's practically the same as having a cheat code.

In other words, if I hit you, you'll probably be unable to dodge it; the remaining 20% depends entirely on your awareness and luck. But if you hit me, I'm guaranteed to dodge it.

"May I have the honor of meeting that Sword Saint?"

"Cannot."

Mihawk shook his head again, bluntly stating the truth.

"You're not qualified, but don't be disappointed, because the vast majority of people in the World Government aren't qualified either."

That's right.

Yami Tsukahara muttered to himself, but this only made him more surprised by Mihawk's identity.

He guessed that it might be a privilege of the Hall Master of the Swordmaster Hall, after all, it was Sword Sect organization that oversaw all sword paths, sword masters, and Swordsmanship in Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

Just hearing the name gives the impression that it's a key department.

"Ahem, isn't Lord Mihawk going to assist Admiral Aokiji?"

"I'm not going."

Mihawk gazed calmly at the apocalyptic scene of a battle between the gods in the distance. "Because I am not yet qualified to participate."

After saying that.

He thought for a moment, then turned to look at the other person and said, "Let me tell you about what happened in the last Giant World. You don't yet fully understand how terrifying the World Government is."

Mihawk was moved by compassion here.

He admired Yami Tsukahara, Great Swordsman who was devoted to the way of the sword, because they were kindred spirits.

Furthermore, it is hoped that countries Shenwa Island Country, with its numerous kendo schools, strong kendo atmosphere, and mature Swordsmanship system, can be preserved relatively well.

The second point is the change in his thinking after he Hall Master the Swordmaster Hall for several years.

"Please, I am all ears."

Yami Tsukahara adopted a serious attitude.

However, my main curiosity is about what's happening in another world.

However, as Mihawk slowly narrated his story, his expression grew increasingly solemn, and his heart felt as if a stone was pressing down on it.

After listening, the Divine Harmony and the Sword Saint turned pale and muttered to themselves.

"Absolute freedom to prohibit the existence of any order or organization."

His pupils trembled violently, and even his usually steady hands were shaking slightly, because he could imagine what a Hell society it would be.

The most evil and cruel side of humanity will surely blossom into a demonic flower once all restraints are broken!

This moment.

A surge of intense fear welled up inside him—what if his granddaughter were to live in that kind of world in the future?

Go ahead.

"Do everything in your power to tell that Divine Dragon about this, and also stop your country's leadership from further provoking the World Government."

Mihawk turned away, no longer looking at Yami Tsukahara, but his words were like a warning bell ringing in the latter's ears, jolting him awake.

"I am very grateful for the reminder, Hall Master. I will never forget this kindness!"

Yami Tsukahara solemnly bowed to Mihawk's retreating figure.

He then shot off the wrecked island like an arrow, speeding towards the sailboat that had brought him there.

All he wants to do right now is get back to China as soon as possible.

Actually, he hoped to contact Lord Divine Dragon immediately and beg him not to harm Aokiji's life.

Even Mihawk refused to approach that battlefield, so how could he dare?

Therefore, this Divine Harmony and Sword Saint could only trust that the Divine Dragon would act with discretion.
