Gecko Moria, Doflamingo
"Although I have orders from above, I still want to test just how strong the Future World's Greatest Swordsman really is!"
The index finger paused, the sound vanished, Ye Chen's long hair danced wildly, a violent storm accompanied by blinding cold light, the entire tavern shattered, and boundless power formed a ring, sweeping everything aside and stirring up a monstrous wave.
The hurricane sprayed everywhere, and everyone on the street felt their hair stand on end, raising their hands to shield their faces as they stared in horror at the two sounds of collision inside the tavern.
"Boom boom boom"
Ripples spread, leaving a mess. Under everyone's gaze, Ye Chen stood up straight, his right foot, pitch black, stepping on Mihawk's Black Blade.
Mihawk, gripping his Black Blade at an angle, coldly collided heavily with Ye Chen's right foot.
"The mere collision generated air pressure; is this the power of God and Hawk-Eye?"
A pirate, pushed away by the hurricane, stared at the two figures in the center, his brow beaded with sweat.
"Isn't God always stationed at the naval base? How come the moment he appears, he's targeting Hawk-Eye, Dracule Mihawk, who has a bounty of $390 million?"
Giant waves continued to spread, and many pirates watched from a distance.
"I don't know, but this is going to be interesting. Many people ranked God last among the Navy's four great vice Vice Admiral, but it seems that's not necessarily true."
"The Navy's four monster Vice Admiral — Akainu Sakazuki, Kizaru Borsalino, Aokiji Kuzan, and God Ye Chen —are all true monsters."
"His opponent is the Swordmaster Hawk-Eye, can God defeat him?"
"Haha, no matter what, watching a fight for free makes the trip worthwhile."
One by one, cunning and arrogant pirates stood away from the battle area, watching the two colliding in the center with ill intent.
"Ugh! Ye Chen, really, you ruined such a nice gathering."
With some emotion in her eyes, Hina puffed out her cheeks, her long pink hair flowing in the wind, and her blue short skirt occasionally revealing her alluring private parts.
"Come on, everyone, sit down."
Holding takoyaki, Bai Doudou invited Shu and the others to sit down, as they were currently on the rooftop with a wide view, allowing them to clearly see the battle scene.
"Hehe, luckily I grabbed two barrels of liquor before I came out."
"I grabbed a whole plate of takoyaki."
Shu and Very Good chuckled.
"Well done, we'll eat and watch."
"Boom boom boom"
Amidst the flashing blades and swirling gusts of wind, Ye Chen and Mihawk were locked in a fierce battle at the center.
"Whoosh"
The slash, hundreds of meters long, accompanied by a sonic boom, hurtled towards Ye Chen at high speed, cleaving everything in its path in two, leaving a smooth and clean mark.
Armament Haki surged through Ye Chen's right foot as he turned and unleashed a powerful kick, also over a hundred meters Rankyaku, which collided heavily with Mihawk's slash.
Amidst the dust and chaos, Mihawk's slashes, though worn down by Rankyaku, still relentlessly cut towards Ye Chen.
His hair swayed as Ye Chen extended his right hand and grasped the slashing attack. The attack, which had been shattering rocks and piercing the air, shattered instantly with a cracking sound, transforming into sword light that swept across the surroundings.
"As expected of the Future world's Great Swordsman."
Ye Chen shook his hand and squinted.
"Although I don't know why you're so sure I'm the Future world's Great Swordsman, I can assure you that you're not wrong."
The sword energy surged forth, piercing through the dark clouds above. Mihawk calmly watched Ye Chen, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"However, before that, I hope you won't get caught by me."
His figure appeared in an instant. Mihawk's eagle-like eyes sharply caught Ye Chen, and he skillfully used his Black Blade to block Ye Chen's attack.
"Ding ding"
Sparks flew everywhere. The attack was invisible. To the onlookers, Ye Chen and Mihawk seemed to be standing there without making a move. However, the flying debris and the sharp sword energy made it clear that Ye Chen and Mihawk were currently engaged in an attack at extremely high speed.
"Why are they just standing there, not making a move?" one of the pirates asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Idiot, didn't you see the tearing air currents around you? The two are engaged in a fierce battle. Your strength is too low to keep up with their movements, so all you see is them standing still."
"How is that possible?"
"Retreat!" Suddenly, some pirates panicked and retreated hastily, as a Shockwave ripped up the ground and hurtled towards them.
At the center, the hurricane tore through the air, and Ye Chen and Mihawk collided heavily.
The place was a mess, with all sorts of random debris constantly falling from the ceiling.
"That's too powerful!"
"Strong? This is just a warm-up for the two of them. If they go all out, the destructive power will be far more than this."
An experienced pirate scoffed.
"I really want to go all out and fight you."
The violent aura gradually subsided. Ye Chen dusted himself off and looked at Mihawk had sheathed his Black Blade, with some regret.
"You are stronger than the other three monsters." Mihawk spoke sparingly, his voice heavy with apprehension, for he was not confident he could defeat this man.
This was his intuition, Swordsman's Intuition.
"Then you'd better watch out in the future. If those three guys hear you say that, they'll cause you trouble!"
Ye Chen was surprised that the other party gave him such high praise.
But just then, Ye Chen frowned and looked down at the ground, because a demon-like figure suddenly appeared in his shadow, holding a pair of scissors and preparing to attack him.
"What the hell is that?"
The hairs on his body stood on end; Ye Chen sensed danger.
"Hehehe, I'll take God's shadow." The sinister voice, like a ghost, lingered in the room.
With a cold expression, Ye Chen already knew who it was. He vanished from the spot in an instant, leaving the other party empty-handed.
Using his Observation Haki, Ye Chen unleashed two Rankyaku towards a dark area.
With a deafening roar and billowing dust, a tall figure was forced to reveal itself.
"Moonlight Moria."
His physique and appearance were so easily recognizable; he would later become one of the Shichibukai.
However, judging from Moria's current state, he probably hasn't challenged Kaido yet, so he's being very arrogant and actually attacked Ye Chen.
"Such a beautiful shadow, what a pity."
Somewhat disappointed, Moria chuckled, his expression somewhat sinister.
"Fufufufu"
Not far away, an even more distinctive laugh rang out, and a man wearing a feather coat appeared in everyone's sight.
"Hehehehe Don Donquixote Doflamingo!"
Moria looked at the man who had appeared and called out his name.
"Wow, they're all big shots! God Ye Chen, Hawk-Eye Dracule Mihawk, Moonlight Moria!"
With a slight twitch of his fingers, a transparent thread floated down from above the heads of Ye Chen and the other two without a sound.
Without even glancing at it, Ye Chen reached out, pinched the silk thread, and crushed it without any expression.
Mihawk, on the other hand, was even more brutal. Without him making any move, the silk threads on his head were shattered into pieces.
As for Moria, he wasn't as bad as imagined. A shadowy arm rose from behind him, grabbed the twisting silk thread, held it in front of his eyes, and even looked at it.
