The World's Greatest Swordsman Makes His Entrance!

Infinite Hell.

As if completing a daily task, Storm returned to the sixth floor to perform his usual "check-in."

However, what he beat up wasn't some "identity card," but rather prisoners held in the Infinite Hell.

Accompanied personally by Magellan, the warden of Impel Down.

As he had done every day for the past few days, Storm executed a prisoner cleanly and efficiently.

A six-star Death Big Trophy once again sprang into existence from the void.

Storm put away the Blood Diamond Trophy.

He has been in Impel Down for over a week, and every day he comes to the Infinite Hell Hunt Trophy, earning a six-star Blood Diamond Trophy each day.

In just over a week, Storm won a total of eight Blood Diamond Trophy.

This speed is definitely not fast.

However, considering the quality of the Big Trophy the difficulty of hunting for it...

Storm is perfectly content with the status quo.

The only thing he couldn't quite accept was...

The number of prisoners in the Infinite Hell is decreasing.

A six-star Big Trophy can only be provided by a six-star powerhouse.

Such a powerful individual is rare even across the entire ocean.

When Storm first left Impel Down, he nearly wiped out all the criminals in Infinite Hell, but those criminals were mostly five-star level or lower.

However, precisely because of this, the prisoners who survive in the Infinite Hell are basically all at the six-star level.

This even includes veteran powerhouses like the Lone Red and the Devil's Descendant.

However, overall...

The number of prisoners in the Infinite Hell is still too small.

More than a week has passed.

Storm killed eight more prisoners.

The number of prisoners who survived in the Infinite Hell is less than ten.

"Alright, you've used up your kill quota for today!"

Magellan looked at the lifeless corpses of the criminals in the cell ahead and urged Storm beside him.

"You can leave now!"

"Magellan, look how well we've gotten to know each other..."

Storm urged.

"Let me just wipe out the Infinite Hell!"

"Absolutely not!"

Magellan denied it without hesitation.

Allowing Storm to execute prisoners was already somewhat beyond the bounds of propriety...

If Storm were to completely wipe out the Infinite Hell, that wouldn't be called "transgressing the rules," that would be called "putting the rules on the ground and trampling them!"

"Execute a few prisoners" and "Slaughter everyone in one floor of the prison."

Even if there isn't much difference in the specific numbers.

But the feeling it evokes is completely different!

Storm shook his head and stopped worrying about it.

Anyway, he only needs to stay in Infinite Hell for a few more days, and he'll kill all these prisoners anyway.

A steady, gradual flow is always better than nothing.

Magellan was about to continue urging Storm to leave Infinite Hell with him.

The Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang.

The sound of Domino came through the receiver.

"Lord Warden, another Shichibukai has arrived at Impel Down!"

"Another Shichibukai?"

Magellan glanced at Storm beside him, his brows furrowing deeply.

Impel Down was peaceful this week, and Whitebeard the Second. didn't come at all.

Surely the Fleet Admiral wouldn't send another Shichibukai to "support" them?

"Who?"

"Hawk Eyes Mihawk!"

Domino said calmly.

"Admiral Kizaru has arrived at the First Sea Level."

"However... the Lord Warden is already engaged in combat with Hawk Eyes Mihawk!"

"Shiryu!"

Magellan's expression changed slightly. He looked at Storm and urged him urgently.

"Storm, let's go up together!"

"All right..."

Let's move the time forward a little bit.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk's lone boat approached the location of the Impel Down.

The world-renowned [Black Blade Yoru], one of the Supreme Great Grade Swords Twelve Works, is being held in the hands of Hawk Eyes Mihawk.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk gripped the [Black Blade Night] as if it were a paddle, the heavy, black blade slicing across the sea, propelling the coffin-like boat forward.

After all, this is the Calm Belt, not the Grand Line.

On the Grand Line, Hawk Eyes Mihawk can also use the surrounding winds to let his small boat drift and sail.

That is to say, you row a boat without oars, relying entirely on the waves!

But this is Calm Belt; there isn't even a slight breeze.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk's small boat had no power at all.

To sail, one can only rely on the simplest and most primitive method—the oar!

As we approached Impel Down.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk then drew his [Black Blade Night] from the seawater. With a slight flick of his right hand, the scattered water droplets clinging to the blade of [Black Blade Night] were immediately shaken off.

"Is this Impel Down?"

"Will the Golden Lion II... be here?"

Hawk Eyes Mihawk lightly stepped on his small boat, using the recoil to leap high into the air like a falcon, landing with pinpoint accuracy on the first level of the Impel Down First Sea Level.

The prison staff responsible for daily guard duty and patrols immediately spotted this "uninvited guest."

The characteristics of [Black Blade Night] are too obvious.

Prison staff immediately recognized the true identity of this "World's Greatest Swordsman".

Shichibukai, the world 'Jora World's Greatest Swordsman, Hawk Eyes Mihawk!

But no matter what.

The Shichibukai are still pirates.

Without receiving orders from the World Government or the Marine Headquarters.

A Shichibukai suddenly appeared in Impel Down.

The jailers of Impel Down could only regard Hawk Eyes Mihawk as an "intruder"!

The alarm blared immediately.

Kizaru was the first to appear on the First Sea Level.

He initially thought it was Whitebeard the Second had arrived, but to his surprise, it was another Shichibukai came.

"Hawk Eyes Mihawk? Hmm~"

Kizaru stroked his chin, looking at Hawk Eyes Mihawk with a strange expression.

"I never expected that a man like you would actually come to Impel Down own initiative."

"Is it because you're tired of the lonely life at the top, that you want to surrender to Impel Down? Navy Hunter."

Kizaru did not receive any orders from headquarters or the government.

This means that Hawk Eyes Mihawk came to Impel Down on his own initiative!

Although Kizaru had no idea what Hawk Eyes Mihawk's purpose was.

However, a Shichibukai suddenly appeared in the World's Number One Great Prison without prior notice.

This situation is just so strange...

If Hawk Eyes Mihawk can't give a suitable reason, Kizaru wouldn't mind letting him "stay" in Impel Down for a while.

"Marine Headquarters Admiral Kizaru?"

Hawk Eyes Mihawk's brow furrowed slightly as he stared at Kizaru with his hawk-like yellow eyes.

What are you doing here? Where is the Golden Lion II?

"Golden Lion II?"

Kizaru looked at Hawk Eyes Mihawk with curiosity.

"You came here because of this pirate?"

"Certainly."

Hawk Eyes Mihawk answered directly.

"Although I don't know the details, that person possesses [Sakazuki] and [Karasuma], and I'm very interested in him."

"Hmm~ What a terrifyingly powerful swordsman!"

Kizaru chuckled, but still believed Hawk Eyes Mihawk's explanation.

"Although I completely cannot understand the way you swordsmen think, you'll remain here until I ascertain your true purpose..."

Upon hearing this, Hawk Eyes Mihawk's expression remained unchanged; he simply reached for the Supreme Grade Sword [Black Blade Night] on his back.

"I've heard that Marine Headquarters Admiral Kizaru possesses a sword named after a mythical weapon."

Hawk Eyes Mihawk slowly drew his [Black Blade Night], the pitch-black tip pointing directly at Kizaru.

Where is your 'Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi'?

Kizaru narrowed his eyes, clearly sensing the astonishing aura emanating from Hawk Eyes Mihawk.

"He really is the ' World's Greatest Swordsman '~ How terrifying~"

Kizaru is planning to create a "Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi".

Just then...

A startling roar came from the side.

"Hawk Eyes Mihawk!"

The next instant.

A dark figure rushed towards Hawk Eyes Mihawk, moving with lightning speed. In his hand, he held the famous Famous Sword [Rain Shower], its blood-red, eerie blade tracing a sharp arc in mid-air.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk was fully prepared. His Observation Haki clearly sensed the intrusion of an unfamiliar aura. Without hesitation, he raised his Black Blade Night and held it in front of him.

Clang--

The blades of [Black Blade Night] and [Rain Shower] clashed, instantly producing a crisp and loud metallic clang, with sparks flying everywhere.

"This is... the Famous Sword [Rain Shower]?"

Hawk Eyes Mihawk's eyes first fell on the sword, then on the person.

"Who are you?"

"After I defeat you..."

Shiryu of the Rain gripped the hilt of [Rain Shower] tightly, and jet-black [Armament Haki] surged forth, instantly transforming this famous Famous Sword into a "Black Blade".

"You'll naturally find out my name!"

Since Storm arrived in Impel Down.

Shiryu lost his appetite, couldn't sleep well, and even his thoughts of killing people faded considerably.

Back when Storm was in Impel Down.

Shiryu had been taught a lesson by Storm.

After the other party left Impel Down.

Shiryu continued to train intensely in prison, hoping to find an opportunity to take revenge in the future.

But a week ago.

Storm's simple "Abdominal Punch" shattered Shiryu's dreams of revenge.

He didn't even see Storm's movement before being knocked down by a single punch.

The gap in strength between them is simply too great...

Even Shiryu was somewhat desperate.

Over the past week.

Shiryu constantly wavered between the two extreme emotions of "wanting revenge" and "having no hope of revenge."

I felt like a pressure cooker under pressure, about to explode!

Now Hawk Eyes Mihawk has suddenly appeared.

Shiryu felt he had finally found a chance to vent!

"Interesting!"

Hawk Eyes Mihawk's lips curled slightly as he sensed the astonishing sword intent emanating from Shiryu of the Rain.

This is a rare master swordsman in the vast ocean.

The most crucial point is...

Hawk Eyes Mihawk had never fought this great swordsman before!

This is... so exciting!

Hawk Eyes Mihawk unleashed his power, forcing Shiryu of the Rain back two body lengths.

He held the [Black Blade Night] in both hands, the heavy, black two-handed cross sword spinning in mid-air in several unpredictable trajectories, and suddenly pointed at Shiryu of the Rain from another tricky angle.

Shiryu of the Rain's pupils contracted slightly, and a scarlet light shone deep within his eyes, clearly indicating that he had activated [Observation Haki], trying his best to sense the trajectory of Hawk Eyes Mihawk's sword swing.

At the same time.

Shiryu of the Rain also began to wield his [Rain Shower] sword, attempting to parry the attack of [Black Blade Night].

But this time...

The blades of [Black Blade Night] and [Rain Shower] only briefly touched before the blades withdrew.

The Supreme Grade Sword drew a perfect arc in mid-air, its attack position suddenly changing from above to below. The black blade gently slashed upwards, as if to Shiryu of the Rain.

Shiryu of the Rain dared not be careless in the slightest, and immediately took a step back to avoid the attack from [Black Blade Night].

But it was at this step that Shiryu of the Rain's entire aura was immediately suppressed by Hawk Eyes Mihawk.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk swung his [Black Blade Night] upwards, then took a step forward, and the [Black Blade Night], at its highest point, suddenly changed angle and slashed downwards.

Shiryu of the Rain [Rain Shower], attempting to parry the blade of [Black Blade Night].

But the powerful [Black Blade Night] slashed heavily onto the blade of [Rain Shower], causing the latter's blade to tremble violently and be knocked away on the spot.

Shiryu had no choice but to retreat further.

[Black Blade Night] deflected [Rain Shower]'s blade and continued its downward slash.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk pressed his advantage, flipping himself in mid-air, the powerful rotation causing [Black Blade Night] to swing in a perfect arc once more.

The invisible sword energy emanating from it rotated along the blade of [Black Blade Night], like an eerie and terrifying black full moon rising from the First Sea Level.

In this critical moment, Shiryu once again wielded [Rain Shower] in an attempt to block.

But this time...

Hawk Eyes Mihawk's immense strength sent Shiryu flying with a single slash.

The Lord Warden flew out of the First Sea Level Impel Down like a shooting star and plummeted into the vast ocean.

It only took three rounds.

Shiryu of the Rain was defeated by Hawk Eyes Mihawk's Swordsmanship.

The Deputy Warden's body crashed into the Calm Belt sea, creating a huge wave.

The drifting bubbles are like his crumbling ambitions...

"Truly worthy of being the World's Greatest Swordsman!"

Kizaru showed approval and clapped his hands gently.

"Even Shiryu, who's as strong as a monster, is no match for you."

Hearing Kizaru's "praise".

Hawk Eyes Mihawk remained completely unmoved.

In his eyes, casually dismissing a great swordsman was nothing to be happy about.

"Kizaru..."

Hawk Eyes Mihawk was just about to continue challenging Kizaru.

Just then.

Two figures emerged from Impel Down.

Storm and Magellan have arrived.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk's sharp gaze lingered on Magellan for a moment.

He didn't see the other person's sword, so the other person was most likely not a swordsman.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk has no interest in people like that.

However, there's another person...

Hawk Eyes Mihawk looked at Storm, his gaze first landing on the [Alcohol Iron Ore Katana] worn at the other's waist.

"White Dragon?"

Hawk Eyes Mihawk recognized the knife, and then recognized Storm's identity.

"You're here too?"

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that, Hawk Eyes Mihawk?"

Storm stepped forward, staring at the World's Greatest Swordsman who had suddenly appeared.

"This is Impel Down, how did you get here?"

"Could it be that he came to turn himself in?"
